The Mini-USB-Connector on my XDA-Diamond isn’t working anymore. Windows recognizes my Diamond as “unknown device”...
So I have to ship my device to "O2-Germany" (repair service) and I think, I should remove Hard-SPL before ...
Normal flashing is no Problem for me, using the following “workaround”:
1. Rename your Image to DIAMIMG.NBH
2. Copy DIAMIMG.NBH to Internal Storage root (I can do this via Bluetooth)
3. Put Diamond to "USB Trigger Mode" throught holding VolDown+Back while pressing reset
- After a few seconds Diamond will ask you to flash DIAMIMG.NBH
4. Press PowerButton to start flashing
Now I tried to remove Hard-SPL by performing the following steps (using the workaround above):
1. flash original ROM (O2-Germany v.1.93)
2. flash Stock-SPL (SPL v.1.37)
3. flash original ROM (O2-Germany v.1.93) again
Flashing seemed to be successful, but when I go to “Bootloade-mode” it still displays something like “SPL 1.4 Olinex”
What did I do wrong? Can anybody help please??

I just got my diamond back from the repair at the danish provider 3, I simply stated when i turned the phone in, that i allready had tried to flash it , and it didnt solve my problem (which was the same as yours, they are going to replace the print in your phone so make sure to backup everything on the internal as well as on the phone). Just make sure the write it on the repair note, and everything will be allright.
My phone went to repair with bePe 0.96.

Did you tried to connect you Diamond to antoher PC?
If not, try to remove Active Sync(also manually delete the Active Sync directory in the folder "c:\program files\microsoft activesync" en reinstall it.
You can also try to go manually into the bootloader(pres and hold volume down + reset button and release the volume down button when you seee the tri-colored screen). When you connect to the PC there should be USB on the display on the phone(instead of serial).
Maybe it's just your pc instead of your TD
I'm sure it's the mini-USB connector and not the PC that is not working properly.
I have another Diamond tried on my PC. The other device is working well.
Activesync I have also completely deinstalled and then reinstalled (with manual deleting before).
Even in bootloader mode, the diamond can not be accessed from the PC.
Hello all i have the same problem my usb does not working and it's my diamond not my pc. Im sorry for my bad english im french i have tried to change all the rom but no change my usb not work.
Same problem here, USB-Connector is broken. It all started with a loose connection. Back then i thought that it is my PC that is not working properly, because charging still works - even now it does.
Nonetheless the USB-Connector in the phone is dead for any type of data transfer, so i need to get the Diamond into its state of delivery to get warranty service. That means restoring stock rom , stock spl (which causes the main problem), and stock radio.
As the originial ROMs from O2 Germany contain their stock radio, these 2 problems should solve pretty fast - before or after restoring stock spl.
I thought of the .nbh-File containing the stock spl renaming to diamimg.nbh and push it to internal storage via WLAN-Connection and flash, as i usually do with roms - but i don't have a clue if this might work and i am afraid of bricking the device by doing so.
If anybody has an idea how to safely get stock spl back on the phone WITHOUT USB-Connection, that would be great.
have you ever tried to hard reset your diamond in steed of flashing it!!!!!!
so you can try to flash it then hard reset (after flashing)
uninstall your active sync or windows mobile device center
do not install your's
download the latest version of active sync(4.5) or wm device center
then connect your phone i tihnk it will work
i had the same problem and i did this steps
now it works good
hope this help you
Last night I wanted to install the official new dutch Vodafone rom for my diamond, from 1.37 to 1.97, so I started reading on the forums.
First I did a hard SPL, and now I have a SPL-1.30. Olinex, so I think that is right.
After the hard SPL I tried installing the RUU, but every time it starts installing, the progressbar stays at 0% and after some minutes, i get an 262 error. I tried it at several PC's, XP, Vista, Windows 7. So that is not the problem.
Anyone has an idea how to fix this?
greetings from holland, and sorry for my crappy english
Anyone has an idea, im realy wanting to upgrade
Sounds like u did everything right....but when flashing, using your pc is the last solution. Always flash Radios or Roms using the internal method.
Got this from Suiller:
COOKING ROMs & Radios from phone =-
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. soft reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
I only hard reset after a new Rom has been installed.........I don't do this for Radios.
I have the vodafone 1.97 rom on my computer, but it is an exe file. And I can't unrar it. So where can I find that big.nbh file?
I placed the nbh file, and i called it DIAMIMG. But when i boot, i get a grey screen that says loading and doesn't goes away.
Help needed!

Change the hard-spl to 1.93 olinex and your problem is over, has worked for me with all roms so far. And when you flash, put your phone in bootloader mode manualy and your flashes works every time.
And if the rom is a exe file you can forsure unzip it!! use right tool for that, ex. winzip and you have your .nbhfile
If the file is DIAMIMG.nbh you can rename it to RUU_signed.nbh and fla**** with udK.s Custom RUU
Maybe it's a noob question but where can i find the 1.93 version. And can i just install it over the SPL 1.30 version?
And how do i put it in manual boot?
Here you have the 1.93 version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
just flash the new one over 1.30 version
Manual boot
Volumedown + reset (hold it down for a while, and the 4 color screen will appear)
Put manual boot only when flash rom!! not hard-spl
It finally worked! Thank you all!
Hi, tried to use search and found a lot of information about that problem, but non of them solved my problem.
So, i have HTC Diamond (P3700) (ROM: 1.93.479.3.WWE, Radio: 1.00.25.05, Protocol: 52.29.25.12H, S/N: HT841GN13099)
Tried download latest ROM version from official website (http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=483), but when i wrote my S/N i got error message - Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
If i'll trying to download earlier ROM version (http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=2) with the same S/N I haven't any problem (of course and can install it).
Also I tried to download all ROM version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699, but when installing these ROM I always get an error - ERROR[294] : INVALID VENDER ID
In other thread I found link to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem3, but when I was falling all instructions I get an error again (but now problem was with connection)
Also I wrote a letter to HTC support twice, but I didin't get any response
So maybe I can find somewhere S/N decoder to know more information about my phone (for e.gd phone was locked, or belonged to other operator?) and why I have problem when updating to the latest ROM version. Does anybody can suggest other solution to this problem?
You are unable to download the official rom from htc as your phone obviously was supplied by an operater who has put their own rom on it.
You need to proceed with a Hard-SPL if you wish to change ROM.
It sounds like you have an operater ROM so it's blocking your changing of the ROM to anything non-operater.
Read the wiki section for the Diamond here , especially the section : Upgrading / cooking / flashing.
with this section that clearly explains all you need to know about applying a Hard-SPL : Diamond Hard-SPL

Thanks for your advices.
When I bought that phone seller didn't mention that this phone belongs to some operator. So is it possible to get information to witch operator it belongs (phone doesn't have any operator brands on his self, and isn't any special application or images in it).
And one more time... is it realy possible that phone belongs to operator... because like I wrote before that i can download and install earlier ROM from official web site, but problem is only with the latest ROM.
Perhaps the download doesn't work as many people had problems installing the latest rom ? It would reboot into the bootscreen & block.
Maybe they have the download until they know why it screws up (but works perfect via an internal flash).
Dunno though, as it's weird you getting the 'operater' message.
Anyway, you can get the latest official rom in here, so you'll be able to flash your device.
Here's the thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699
Just flash it from the internal storage. Works fine. Extract the setup with winrar or something, then you will see 2 files - one approx 140Mb, the other one like 2Mb. Rename the big one to Diamimg.nbh and copy it to your internal storage.
* Soft Reset + Hold volume down button + back button <----
* Follow instructions on screen

Read here where it says "stops at 5% or invalid model id:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425
Next think about HardSPL.
1.93.479.3 if you had this rom in your device, and you tried to download from HTC Support site and get the "This is rom isnt for your device" you get this because there are NO 2.03.479.3 rom the BOLD tells you what region rom u are using. And If you download another rom and try to flash and get "invalid vendor" you MUST hard-spl your device, after that you can flash every rom you can find an example of region rom, I have put this at least 4 times now so people try o understand what i meen when speaking of region roms.

Thanks everyone for advices!
First i tried Kevbodian recommended method. Downloaded OliPro's NBH Util and tried rebuild NBH file, but program generates only empty file (0Kb - size), maybe it doesn't work in Windows 7 So I'm fail.
Then tried laser21 method and succeed! I downloaded Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2312363&postcount=2), installed them, and made everything step by step like he wrote.
Phone works seams fine, but maybe a little bit slower , so I'm tried reinstall ROM one more time, but do that in standard way. Just downloaded _RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699) and ran it. Everything was fine (installation pass 100%) but than it shows - ERROR [270] - UPDATE ERROR, phone also restarted and shows information in red/green/blue/white background.
In red space
Code:
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
In green space
Code:
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x32
Upgrade ROM code error
Place try again
So one more time I made like laser21 recommended - and phone works again. But can I do something more that latter update i can do in standard way ?
I'm not sure what you mean by:

But...If you are upgrading the ROM or Radio please use this highly recommend way.
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. soft reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache

I did everything like you (and laser21) wrote. But now i have problem when updating ROM in standart way - downloading official ROM exe file, and ran it (like I wrote before, after 100% proceed it display error that update unsucceed)

Hey guys,
I have no idea what's going on. I appreciate your suggestions. I flashed my Diamond many times (and other phones as well) with most of the ROM available. Unit a month ago or so I've been using the official 1.93 ROM with previously installed hard SPL 1.40. When I attempted to install a new 2.03 ROM I went through the whole procedure same way as always with a little exception. Right after completion - 100% the unit reboots, shows the rainbow screen with a message "Upgrade ROM code error" - try again. What is the world is this? I also have a message on my desktop "Error 270-update error" - The image file is corrupted. My unit is european and I downloaded the ROM from both US and Euro sites. From this point I managed to downgrade again to version 1.93. Then I ran again the hard SPL 1.40 and reattempted to upgrade to 2.03 - SAME THING!
I don't know what to do next. Why I cannot flush it with the latest ROM? Any ideas or similar situations? Please see picture.
Thanks
Same Thing happened to me :S wtf??

Hi have you tried to flash from the internal storage?
Have you tried flashing with internal storage method?
Exactly the same problem here, so I tried to flash to a really old original HTC ROM after the failure and it flashed fine
So I thought I would try upgrading over the top of an original ROM, had the same error , bloody HTC
So, any ideas how to resolve this issue? Are we stuck with the old ROM? I'm glad that I'm not the only one experiencing the same problem.
No, I have never tried to flash from internal storage. How can this be done? do I copy the whole .exe file to storage and run from there? Any pre-cautions?
Thanks
Though I bricked my phone when it happened, never seen that error before despite many ROM flashes
I have now tried tommytaos ROM which is supposed to be very close to the original but some with some tweaks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479049
It installed just fine on my phone. Seems HTC have broken their ROM

it's the best way to flash the rom and the safest...
From Suiller thread:
the standard procedure to cook a ROM is made trough activesync program, I mean that the .nbh file is pushed into the phone trough activesync, across the usb cable, but this procedure can give some troubles:
1. it takes long time, about 10 minutes
2. it's a bit unsafe (even if the procedure can be always restored safely)
3. it's possible only with Windows OS (NO Linux nor *BSD, et cetera...)
I don't know why this is not well known but ALL producers (like HTC) give the possibility to upgrade the rom/firmware without having MS windows (thanks GOD someone knows that there aren't only windows users).
This faster procedure can be done also with *nix variants (or whatever you use) because the ROM update is made directly by the phone.
The procedure is very simple, it will take just 2 minutes, can be done everywhere & is good for cooking radios too (very fast in this case)
-= COOKING ROMs & Radios from phone =-
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
notes:
* be sure to have at least 10/20% of charge, anyway the whole procedure will take about 2 minutes, so you must be ensure that your mobile will stay turned on for at least those 2 dirty minutes (just in case you can attach the power AC/DC too), don't panic if something goes wrong... read few lines below
* like told you above the same procedure is good for cooking Radio too, of course Radio are smaller and it will be really fast (about one minute!)
* you don't need windows anymore or activesync, is enough just to copy the file into the storage card (transfers WITHOUT activesync are faster)
* it's possible to make a reset simply by getting off the stylus and pressing the small red button under the stylus carrier
* don't worry if something goes wrong... any cook failure can be always restored, the important thing is that you don't fail hardspl flash... but you have to do it just one time in your life
special note about hard-spl:
if you have signed-only hard-spl I strongly suggest to upgrade to an un-signed one, personally I tested many & I can confirm that the "good ones", at least in my experience, are the Olinex 1.37 or 1.93, you can find a copy here
remember also that you can NOT brick your device if you have a good hard-spl (like the ones I mentioned above) & flashing directly from phone is really faster (also good for flashing radio)
so the only one thing you should take care is when you change/upgrade the hard-spl, but you have to do this step just once, I'm using this hard-spl from about 6 months & I was able to flash everything (plus dozen recovers for failed flash)
for rom/radio upgrades you can safely also reboot/remove cable/turn off your phone while flashing ...every lost flash can be always restored safely, it's enough to restart your device in boot mode & restart flashing, also with cable trough the classic RUU (to put device in boot mode simply reset & keep pressed Vol_Down button)
In the hope this procedure can be useful at least to save time
if you have the official rom which is a exe file you can extract the rom file using winrar.
EUREKA!!! Done Deal!!!
Flashed from Internal Storage as per following directions:

THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!
Flashing using the Internal Method is the safest and most convenient way to flash. Spread the word.......
xevier69, Thanks for your thread
Having just purchased Oli's security unlocker... I was annoyed about this problem with a HTC official rom!
But your method has solved this issue!
Thanks again
Thanks guys it works perfect!
This just happened to me too and the only roms i have ever flashed:
1.37 official spanish: came with the phone
1.37 official WWE
1.93 official WWE
and now 2.03 official WWE fails.
WTF... One would expect the upgrade not to fail, right?
I wonder if they are checking for HardSPL to be original too!?
Anyway thanks for the workaround
This worked for me to
Cheers

Thers some other option
Install twice from activesync 1st time = error, run for the second time the same version and OK it updates.
At least with my Diamond had worked
Cheers
Hi!
The same thing happend to me too... I think it's because of the serial number we have entered when we have downloaded that 100 MB ROM Update file from the HTC support site... well i think it doesn't match with the serial and IMEI of the phone that the upgraded rom checks at the end of the update process... so i think it's kind of a protection against piracy developed by htc... taiwanese idiots!
Hi!
pls anyone send any information about an rom update file that works and doesn't report errors after it installed 100%. pls specify it's rom version too! 2.03 would be great
thanks in advance

I made this too for testing First flash: Error, Second time: Ok
Hi!
What I have done:
-got a rom which fits to my needs
-downloaded it, renamed it to DIAMIMG.NBH, transfered it to my internal storage
-put the phone into bootloader mode, used MTTY all went well
-boot again... freeze
-initialising rom .... freeze
-trying custom_ruu.exe .. freezes at 0%
-hard reset.. fine, boot.. freeze
-finding the thread about MTYY reading that I should have Hard SPL.. swearing a lot
Is there any possibility to get my phone running again? As far as I have found no info how to install anything without a running sync connection, but without any system on the phone I dont know how to establish any connection other to the bootloader mode
Because you haven't upgraded HardSPL before flashing new custom rom - I think you did brick your phone.
Hello, prl3st
I have solition if you use htc touch diamond ( diam 100 ) but if you did not model HTC Diamond, can go try it.
A possible solution could be:
- Obtain a functional ROM (file that RUU_signed.nbh) interface CustomRUU.exe
- Connect the phone cable to the PC
- CustomRUU.exe starts and pass the first two screens where you wondered if you connected the device and that he give the order to enter in flash mode
- On smartphone: press volume down and reset simultaneously to get in the boot mode. Once you made that follows the instructions on screen.
Possibly if it fails the first step to obtain a version of HardSPL Diamond, copy the file there. Nbh and running ROMUpdateUtility.exe phone connected to PC and a loader.
It should work. Good luck and more attention next time.
yep worked fine with the original ROM from HTC!
Thanks to XDA developers and big thanks also to awran5 who gave me some privat support =D
