Upgrading to new (wm6.5) ROM - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi there
I've finally got a working diamond 2.
I thought I'd upgrade to the latest ROM and see how I got on with that before trying any cooked ROMS.
I d/l'd the latest official ROM from HTC website and tried to flash the phone but it kept giving me error [270]. I was starting to get worried as I haven't installed hardSPL yet (you don't need this for official ROM's I believe). I donwloaded the older ROM and that installed ok (thankfully).
Why didn't the latest ROM work?
What should I do to get this working? I am probably going to try a custom ROM at some point so I will install hardSPL (what is the latest version of this?) will this make the wm6.5 rom work?
any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Jim

sorry, this was supposed to be in topaz forum.

Reverting from New iMate ROM

Can someone help me please.
Like many I was anxiously waiting for the new ROM for my KJam because of A2DP. As soon as it was on the iMate site I flashed my device only to find out that it wasn't included.
Based on experience I figure it will be months before iMate do a new release, so I'm kinda stuck, or am I?
iMate say that I cannot go backwards after having loaded the new ROM, but I read in the forum that maybe it is possible. (I didn't have the foresight to backup my old ROM to SD though).
What I want to do now, if I can, is load up the test Qtek WWE Rom from the FTP site. The feedback there suggests it works well, so I am willing ot try it, if it means I will get A2DP.
Can anyone advise me how to do that (if I can).
Thanks all.
As far as I know you can reflash your rom with any rom. As long as it is divice compateable.
Im fairly new to this.
So find the one you want on this forum or the wiki and reflash the same way you did the last one.
I have run about 3 differnet ROMs on my UNI up to now. I find the latest imate rom very stable.
I have rolled back to the O2 rom currently as I want to play with the extended rom on the o2 rom and put it into the exetended rom on imate.
Again I forgot to back it up.

htc's new official HK rom help

hi all,
i had a quick question about upgrading ROMs. my stock ROM was the HK WWE version 1.34.something. and then i hard-spl and upgraded to the TLR version 3 ROM (which btw is great!). but i want to give the official HTC 1.93.831.1 WWE rom a try.
what do i do? should i go back to the stock SPL? do i need to go back to my stock rom?
help is much appreciated, thanks
(yes, i am noob at this )
My situation is similar to you, I already hard-spl and tried a few custom ROM. Yesterday I also upgraded to this latest HK ROM. No problem, no need to go back stock SPL.
Performance is significantly improved, Highly recommended!
Only drawback is the ROM size is very large that after installed the memory is just 60MB.

Flashing Back to Official Rom

Hey
my phones being picked up tomorrow and I have swiftbl and some version of hard spl(cant remember) I am downloading the official orange rom now but is there anything else that I should remove? Do I need to remove Hard spl? or do i need to flash to another version?
Thanks
yeah you need to return back to the stock spl! do this last and make sure you have the correct radio version also! if not included in the orange ROM!

When you're done flashing the official stock Rom, you'll need to flash the stock SPL for warrenty reason. Search the forums its in here somewhere.
If its a 1.93 version Rom your installing, then you'll need the 1.93 SPL
Happy flashing

official stripped ROM without radio...

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a official ROM version without the radio?
I have read thet it is better to install the official ROM before any cooked rom. That way it would be a lot easier, because than I wont have to install another new radio after every cooked rom I have installed....
So if someone knows where I can find this I would be very thankfull!

Where do i find the old official roms?

Hello! I'm searching for the official 1.37 (or earlier) rom for my touch diamond, does anyone know where to get it? I've searched without success.
On www.htc.com you can only download the two latest ones, not the 1.37.
I want that rom because of the animations, which are deleted in the newer roms.
Thank you!
