This is same as HTC Cruise 09 or HTC Iolite. Look over forum and you'll see this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=483

it's not the same
no it's not the same
if you read other threads they clearly say it's completely different hardware
only the outside is the same
if you try to flash the chinese replica with the original ROM you WILL BRICK IT
I was just interested about the clone - if anyone has and how it behaves, how it feels, is it any good...

Aha. i see now. T4242 china has different ram/rom amount. 192MB RAM+135MB ROM instead if 256 ram+512 rom in real T4242. But chipset is the same Qualcomm 7225. I think correcting ram rom amount in htc rom will solve problem. You should ask gurus for that.

chinese htc t4242

Latest Rom

Hi guys, I understand all the roms were taken off this site but I need some help.
I bought the HTC excalibur today and it has a test rom on it. as a result I cannot use wifi as it says driver is not found. Where can I find the latest htc excalibur rom.
check in my sig
your device may not have the hardware. The test ROM on my device had no problems with WiFi but some devices have been sold without the hardware and the firmware that has the WiFi drivers makes no difference.
Just a possibility...
excalibur
is there any way to get this excalibur wm5.0 in spanish?.. please.. ?!

bgniko, you're are AWESOME! I must have spent in excess of 4 hours looking around the Internet for different ROMs to use with my T-Mobile Dash, and you really helped me out. Thanks!
P.S. If you happen to find the Dopod C720W ROM (looking for it for the Traditional Chinese support), please let me know. It's not available on Dopod Taiwan's member only site... yet.

Official HTC Europe WM6 ROM - first impressions?

I downloaded right now the WWE version, but still working in my office, presumably until late night... :-((
So, please, who can quickly flash the new rom, share his/her first impressions with us!
(Especially: which OS it uses, what HTC-made utilities have been put in it, are there any new features comparing to the official HTC Asia-Dopod WM6 rom?, etc.)
Thanks!
I second this request. I'm quite decided to install Pdaviet Black&Blue 4.2, after my good experience with 4.0, but I'm curious to know about this, and these are localized too
I have a question :
if , after tried wm6 official HTC ROM , i decide to revert back to wm5 official Rom how can i do this ?
Why Htc haven't provided the wm5 ROM for going back if desired ?
It's pretty the same as WM5 but then WM6. After first boot it installs the same utils as it would in WM5 like TomTom, QuickGPS etc. (Also the ugly green dailer )
Windows Mobile 6 Professional 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
IPL 3.13.0001
SPL 3.13.0000
GSM 02.94.90
OS 3.13.0.0
that is terrible!!!!!
i hope tom finished his 4.2 version soon
Pretty much the same as the asia one but with Office 2007 and cleaner.
Its clean, stable, fast and once again CLEAN!! install what you like.
Im sticking to this, you also know its been tested better than the home cooked, hats off to the guys but I dont like junk.
i reinstall the touch 2.1 ( really i'm waiting b&b4.2 ) after ... 12 minutes.
So,its only localized ... and no extra software.
i prefer touch 2.1 or B&B 4.1
By
I think it´s more of the same stuff from HTC, no inovations, unlike the name of this company.
What i´m really curious to see is the new Rom from Tom.
Cheers
Whoa!! The time to fix for the GPS is much improved! I'll have to test it more tomorrow, but it could be as fast as the TyTN II now!! That is AWESOME!
I'm going to say I like the dopod version more. This one doesn't have Audio Manager or Voice Command installed. I don't see a "lock screen" feature on this either...
stable, memory drain 's gone: program memory still at 22mo after 12 hours. but the new rom has fewer memory for stockage: 20mo vs 51mo of Meschle's new rom.
this version has voicecommand. Lock screen is there, just goto the settings, today and enable the item
Its the same as any other base, vanilla rom.
Where is link for download
www.htc.com
Sign up to the club with your Serial Number and its in the updates section. Other places on this forum have posted links.
Im happy with it, I like its clean and fully tested so Im sticking to it. There may be a reason they havnt used th elatest rom like some other cooked ones. You have to remember,the people who make these roms know a hell of a lot more about them than we do.
Where to find new ROM
Hi guys,
I can't see any ROM upgrade on official HTC Europe website. I registered my device and created account in HTC Club. Now, after login I can't see ROM upgrade either in Phone software update nor in Other downloads. Could you check this out (or maybe ROM is in other section?).
Thanks

Maybe there was some serious bug in ROM and they removed it from website? I double checked it with Firefox and IE and still can't find any ROM upgrade...

Flash O2 XDA Diamond? To Remove Branded Rom?

Hi guys ... I will probably be getting a O2 XDA Diamond...
The O2 Diamond has a blue branded Touchflow Gui...
Will there be anyway to install the Original HTC software on it so i have the nice Black Menu?
yep you have to install a hardspl, either olipro's [which i think is unreleased] or the one made by the diamond project team.
then you can flash a new rom.
however, check your rom version in settings->system->device information
if it reads 1.34.831.1
it means you have a new spl that prevents you from flashing hardspl until the experts here create a work-around.
i hope this helps
Rory
On a related note, I was considering getting the O2 XDA Diamond but putting the black TouchFLO 3D on it. However, I've now decided to get a normal HTC Touch Diamond, because I'm lazy and I don't want to flash a new ROM for a number of reasons.

Because of the o2 contract that i have in august i can re new the contract an will get a o2 xda for about 100 euro... so i think ill be sticking to this modell..
Please keep this thread up 2 date guys... Good work so far...
Well I´m pretty new to this. Im gonna get a XDA Diamond too within these weeks. But as mentioned the blue TouchFlow theme from O2 is really ugly in my opinion. So maybe someone can explain me how it is possible to change the ROM to get the original black theme from HTC.
What is necessary for that to work, what changes would that bring to my system (all programs lost?) and what dangers come along with that?
I appreciate your answers. Thanks.

c´mon guys, please give me some information on this.
Ok .
First of all you can take one of two options.
1) Hard SPL the device and flash a new ROM that someone has mirrored here.
Look here for Hard SPL ( Read carefully as not all Diamonds can be Hard SPl'd as yet)
HardSPL Here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395640
ROM is here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394985
Hard SPL your device as per the Instructions then run the ROM update that you would have downloaded above . Job Done.
2) Wait until someone removes the 3G Interface from a Diamond (HTC Maila) and then apply that cab to replace your blue one.
Hope this helps
If you read the very first thread in this forum then you would have had an idea on what you was asking.
Thank you very much for your answer. So just to get me right. If i need a german ROM, is there a chance, as far as the new ROM version (probably comming with the german xda) is HardSPL useable, to flash another german HTC ROM on to it (if someone is providing it)?
And the last question, do i loose all my installed or preinstalled apps on my device, such as TOMTOM when i flash a new (other) ROM?

If its an O2 ROM then as you have an O2 device you may not need to Hard SPL but not sure on that one.
As long as you Hard SPL the device then you will be able to flash any ROM that turns up on this forum on your device. Please read the post I pointed out to you, as one of the SPL's shipping on the Diamond will not work and you may brick your device
And the last question, do i loose all my installed or preinstalled apps on my device, such as TOMTOM when i flash a new (other) ROM?
When you flash a device it will set it back to a ROM only . EG all the apps etc you have installed will be gone. TomTom if available on the device ROM will be on it as well (Although I thought O2 pefered Copilot) . If not have a look around the Forums and find a suitable TomTom cab for the device.
Again if you spend some time reading some of the threads on here and within other devices you will start to understand more .
Ok guys so hold us up to date on this.... Im getting my O2 phone in 2 weeks and I think I wont like the blue TF3D.
Ok guys... so is there any new information on getting the branded colour touchflow 3d to the orignial black one? Someone here mentioned doing it without any hardspl stuff via a CAB file or something....
ANy news on this?
Thx Busta
Here in germany it's possible to renew your contract through several online shops. When doing so, you can get any device you want. You usually also get a better deal than renewing through O2. Try if this is possible in your country and get a HTC device!
The only advantage of getting an O2 device is, that you get a refurbished device sent to you in case of a waranty return and don't have to send it in for repair. (At least that's my experience with the hermes aka. XDA Trion I had)

Whats the point of getting a HTC Touch Diamond then? The "fun" begins with cooked ROM flashing and since the Touch Diamond seems to be more and more popular, some very nice ROMs will be out in the near future. Can't wait to see where this is going...

Flashing to another ROM with HArdsSPL wipes out all in your RAM and ROM memory. it over writes al registries.
Also TomTom. A back-up is not advisable as it will not run, or cause bigger problems.

I did as i'm a total noob and still managed to install hardspl and the new rom !
Its all here to be found

Is there a stable WM 6.5 ROM for the P3600 (NOT 3600i)?

Hi,
I have to flash the rom anyway (there are some strange things happening to my device, I fear it is hijacked). Since I am only an interested end user, not so much interested in testing - I would like to know whether I should use one of the latest WM6.5 or a stable WM6.1 rom. I already have a 6.1 rom, but a quite early one ([english ROM LVSW_Trinity_WM6_v2.0.1.1 (2007-05-27)]) and thus not so reliable.
The first issue, however is, since I own a P3600 (400 MHz only) with ROM: 128 MB and RAM: 64 MB SDRA only, whether WM 6.5 would ever run stable on this device. Does anyone have a well founded opinion on this issue?
Anyway, what would be the most stable version?
From my side, no language preference, English would be as fine as German.
Thank you for any kind response!
stable ROM
Hi,
Chanvi 's one are good ROM(s) .. On my opinion, i prefer the 6.1 rom with manila 2D more usable than 6.5 with CHome ...
I'use this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472178
"Update Feb-13-2009 : OS 21139.5.0.0 Manila 2D Iolite-Footprints .
This Rom is a hybrid WM 6.1/6.5"
Great ROM !
regards
[ROM] [WWE] Windows Phone 6.5 21815 by Savesaint [Online] [Updated 2009.06.18]
This one is more stable, then Chanvi's, from my opinion, i had much more bugs using different builds from chanvi's, even in different customisations.
Savesaint's has it's own bugs, and i can't customise it (because it's not a kitchen), but i prefer using that one.
But 3600's wm5 doesn't look like this one
the both sent ROM is 6.5 and as i know it always Memery hungry . does anubody knows whis ROM is the best in 6.1?

I use from 3 month now and i have no problem with FInixNOver 3.7.2 light, before i use FInixNOver 3.7.2 manilla and it work very good.I was change it becose in manilla i have 12 mb free memory and igo stops sometimes.
this is another vote for the FInixNOver 3.7.2 light rom, for stability you cant get anything better than this ... i've tried a lot of roms and have allways gone back to this one.
I've tried all the 6.5 version roms and to be honest mate ... dont go there, they all have their issues.
give it a try to 6.5
I have been testing for a while now some 6.5 Roms. From my experience they have bugs, not all the programs can't work on 6.5, etc...
But I am confident since the savesaint 815 that we are going to have a very stable Rom soon. From my experience this was the best in 6.5 roms.
The few bugs that the rom have are solve by now.
Must wait developments... until Stable!

Yeah
I agree, things got to get done. WM 6.5 it's not final version yet. Still in development from Microsoft... so got to wait a bit more so that we can really talk about a stable ROM.
Until there, with minor or sometimes a bit major bugs, the latest Builds are working better...

installed the rom and after playing with it for a while, i must say that this rom is very good. quick and stable. so i think i stick with this rom for a while.
wm 6.5 is cool, but it soo slow with newer releases, so that i cant use it anymore.
I am the same opinion, for now I'll stay with version 6.1 light version to not have problems with iGO.I find on the net windows mobile 5, original vesion HTC P 3600 and I thinking to install that to comarare wm5 and wm6.1. I bought SPV M700 from orange, 2 years ago.

first i was very happy with wm6.5 (first releases). But the more wm6.5 goes further, it's soo slow and the response time is very long (i use spb mobile shell).
I never had problems with tomtom, but with the last wm6.5 releases tomtom runs so slow

You all welcome to try my rOms.
If you are looking for stability, I definitely recommend trying Tomme45i's latest ROM series:
[ROM+KITCHEN][WWE][26.08.09]WM 6.1.21054 + 6.5.23017 Classic
He has stripped away the fancier elements of 6.5 (so personal preference will play a part in deciding if it is the ROM for you) but it's incredibly stable, has excellent memory handling and suffers from no memory leaks.
It is probably the last of his Trinity ROMS, so well worth checking out.
Hope this helps,
Matt.

i need help with an opinion!! thnks :)

hello i would like to know if you could help me decide... i have this htc diamond with a ROM 1.93.422.4 WWE wich is the one the phone brought and i wanted to know if theres a better ROM thn tht one and if its compatible with the phone... like ive been reading about this one 1.93.831.1 WWE but i dont know wich one is better or if its compatible.... help me please
If it's the first time you flash a ROM, you have to follow the HardSPL tutorial.
After your Diamond have HSPL, you can flash which ROM you want, there are lots of good ROM in this section, i suggest you Maemo ROMs but you should try it yourself.
I'm using Celoni Tribute ITA, he also released a WWE version with WM6.5.x and HTC Sense.
Im using 2.03.xxxx
Get them from the Diamond Stock ROM WIKI
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Diamond_Upgrades
hey thanks a lot but do i need to do a HSPL to upgrade to those ROMS? the shipped ones? and any HSPL would work? or i have to flash an specific one in order to upgrade the ROM to the shipped one 2.03.xxx ?
No it should flash fine if it is your operator
If it is a different operator, maybe, Im not sure
so i dont have to do any HSPL ? just run the rom with the phone on activesync and thts it? and i think my phone is not flashed with HSPL it will work without doing it?
If it's the right ROM for your phone you'll be able to flash it even without HSPL, but it has to be an official update, check on the HTC website for your IMEI.
I suggest you to use HSPL to have a very higher choose, there are lots of ROMs here, official ones are outdated nowadays.
ohhh ok thanks!!... is there any rom that lets me use htc sense on the diamond?
Sense is WM6.5
If you are going to flash a 6.5 ROM you need to unlock it and HardSPL etc
TouchFlo is the 6.1 version of sense, its almost the same without the eye candy
Hi,
Check this out and pick what suits you best.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649841
I've been using GTX for a couple days w/out problems, although it's not the fastest ROM I've ever used looks-goodies/speed ratio is very reasonable.
Of course you have to HSPL your phone before flashing.
Also It's highly recommended to use radio 1.17.25.09 which I think is the latest.
I've had it installed even before flashing GTX and used it with wm 6.5 ROMs in USA, Mexico, Canada, Germany & Greece w/out problems. It's Quad-Band.
