Last year I receied my HTC Diamond with all this Vodafone stuff on it. I know I download some stuff here to upgrade/hack to the new firmware that was made available by HTC, but which I couldn't install since I had this Vodafone firmware on it. I know have:
ROM: 1.93.404.1 NLD
Rom date: 7/10/2008
Radio: 1.00.25.05
Protocolversion: 52.29.25.12H
Stupid question, but I see many versions being mentioned here, languages, exceptions etc. So, my questions:
1- Could I download the new, official firmware from the HTC site, or do I need to hack it again?
2- Can I download firmware from this site, and if so, what is the latest and most stable for my HTC Diamond?
3- I would like to have Windows Mobile 6.5. Can I install this and will it run on my HTC?
Thanks for helping out this noob

Hi, I really new into this. I spend nearly the whole day in ready everything written on this on your wiki web site, which seems to be excellent. I read and tried to follow the steps to download a new ROM, but did not succeed.
I bought a DOPOD 700 in Taiwan in English version, and I don't know where I can find an upgrade version. I tried to go on the Dopod web site of Taiwan, but it’s in Chinese.
My current Device data reads:
PH20B 0 B WWE E DOPOD601 1.12.22 2 2 1.12.179 1.02.00 02.00
PH2OBO WWE E DOPOD601
ROM 1.22.22 WWE
ROM date 09/27/04
Radio version: 1.02.00
Protocol version: 1337.32
ExtROM 1.22.179 WWE
If I understand well after reading the section "how do I install an upgrade and what tools to use", I would need to download as follows:
"List of know Blueangel, sold as, Model ID, Operator code etc"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=81244#81244
http://www.clubimate.com/Support/PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe
Download to
C:\XDA-Tools\PDA2k_WWE_12200_162_10600_SHIP.exe”
But it does not work. I don’t have an Imate, so I cannot register on the Support Club and cannot get access to the file.
Did I make something wrong?
Thank you in advance for your help. PascalK
upgrading
So i guess you want to upgrade it to another original shipped roms?
1st download the ROM here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
Than follow the instructions over here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5
And for the radio also copy radio_.nbf from the 2003SE ROM to the "??Your_DIR??\Downgrade to WM2003SE" folder. At stap 2
Hope this will help you
Dear Rawish,
Many thanks for your advise. I have followed the procedure as indicated. I dowloaded the ROM and located the WM2003SE ROM. I prepared my PHB device as indicated, but then I met another problem:
It is written on the bootscreen of my Dopod 700 "Test Only - Not for sale - Qteck -". So I don't have access to the three options that are described in 3rd step of "BA_Dowgrade_WM5".
I guess that I am a victim of a crook in the IT shop of Taipei.
Or is there a possibility to remove this page to continue the upgrading process?
Thanks for any help. PascalK
hi guys,
i m bit confused here,
first thing first.
i have o2 orbit (Ireland) and it give me these information on boot.
IPL 1.25.001
SPL 1.25
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.25.0.0
and if i check start->settings-> About
Windows Mobile 5.0 OS 5.1.342 (Build 15096.3.0.0).
as i have version 5.0 can i update it to 6 and what way should i go?
do i need to unlock something as i heard i can not just update it. can any one please through some light on it. (its my first experience with pda)
First you have to use USPL (search the forum, you will find).
then you can download the rom you want and upgrade it....
Have fun...
I use this ROM with TouchFLO: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325403
Download the Full edition which will have two batch files one for applying USPL and the other to Update ROM!
You may also search for the new Radio 2.97 and update it!
Well, thats what the latest for Artemis! Good Luck!

If you bought it locked to a network, you have to use the networks ROM upgrade. This happened to me. The only Official ROM 1.93 ROM I could use was of the Orange site.
I think there's something on this site that tells you how to prepare your phone to take custom ROMS.
Hi to have:
Just got my brand new TD:
ROM: 1.37.405.1 WWE

Don't know if ORange have changed it now, but when I updated using the ROM in the orange site, it was the ORIGINAL HTC ROM, not a funny orange one with crappy graphics...
Do you have the Web link to the orange site for the Rom update
Does any one have the link to the Orange website for the update 1.93 ROM
im on orange...so i Orange 1.93 ROM would be great as id still be under warranty!
there was a link to an official Orange 1.93 ROM on this site - I've searched high and low and can't find it.
I did use it but found it to be no better (in fact the transitions wer gone so it was worse! as the performance seemed no better).
found it at last
http://www.orange.co.uk/diamond/RUU...igned_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe
Does the ROM have the Orange Stuff on it or just a strate HTC version
no orange branding
It auto sets up for orange settings - which is useful
I use the official orange 1.93 - it's very fast. Doesn't crash. Looks good
Go for it. I'm no expert but the whole process using an official rom update is easy
Has anyone tried the Official Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM Upgrade for the i780? It is found at thi link:
http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/i780/index.jsp
You can use "BVHF1" as the SGH-i780 Version. It also has a link for the samsung drivers for windows vista. Down below there is a button "View In Detail" beside [ Upgrade Instructions ], if you try to look at the screenshots, it says SHG-i780 6.1 OS Updater on the title bar.
According to some forums and reputable websites it is the official 6.1 upgrade for the i780 but the problem is it is only for Italy, Nordic and UK. I'm wondering if it is compatible with the asian versions of the i780. Is there a difference with the physical keyboard?
I guess it's not that important anymore since Windows Mobile 6.5 will be released sometime Q3/Q4 of this year. There are phones already manufactured for WM6.5 and pictures are already out in the internet. I'm not sure if it's legit but looks like they are. At least there's an official WM6.1 update for i780.
Wm6.1 upgrade
Hi
I tried this, but my version is DXHA1, its unbranded.
When io downloaded the software using your instrcution, and I ran it, it said incorrect version
Help
any idea when comes german version ?
Samsung i780 Official WM6.1 ROM
Ok, I called Samsung, its only for orange customers no one else
It is possible to flash Orange Rom
You have to Hex edit official rom with the country/operator specific code of your current rom. That way, when you are flashing Orange rom it will think that you have the future version of you current rom and it will not complaint.
Search forum. You may use Hxd (use this as a keyword for search) editor or another hex editor.
I used Orange rom for a while. It has improved battery life over V5X HH5 (EFN Rom) however no messenger and other preloaded goodies of v5x hh5.
BTW there is a newer (official) version than the orange rom. Just peek at newer threads.
alpusm
This is so lame
I bought mine unlocked off of expansys, and therefore the stupid update download tells me it's the wrong version. If I flash it with the Orange rom, will I have problems with sim locking or anything? I hope the installer doesn't have the same restrictions.
I can't believe I pay full price for a phone and get this sort of service.
No problem
You may flash with the Orange rom or never HL1 or HL2 rom. Updater is available here on forum for these roms. Like I said before you will need to hex edit rom files to be able to flash. Or, as an alternative, you may flash one of the "modded" versions of those roms (bin files) with mirage updater (mirage does not check any code), then update with the original updater because updater will think that you are upgrading from the same operatoır/country code.
BTW you wont have any problems with sim or device lock. Mine was a generic unbranded WWE rom and updated/tried all these roms and did now have any lock problems.
what version do i have
what does one mean by version? i have an unbranded one. are versions things like suppliers? tmobile o2 and stuff
cheers

I know this is old as heck but does this upgrade works for any Samsung i780? Or is it just for the Asian-Pacific i780? Thanks!
Hi all,

Welcome to the forums!
You are in the wrong forum. Go to this one, and read the first post (stickied), thoroughly. I just did it for the first time last week and it went without a hitch, if you take your time and read it carefully. The instructions are very well put together, do not skip anything! Good luck.
