Hi,
I'm new here. I have a HTC Touch Diamond Orange branded device. I am running into a lot of problems which are:-
Sometimes when i receive a phone call or text message it will restart itself.
The device will become very hot on the antenna part when im charging and on a call,
when i disconnect from the call the device is really laggy and slow.
The phone network will keep dropping out when it wants.
Also my data connection drops out too when it wants. (3G), but the network still stays connected. (this is separate from the above problem.)
This device is unlocked as i am not on Orange (UK) but I am on Manx Telecom, and did not have Orange firmware on it when I got it. Recently I have upgraded the firmware to a later build and this firmware is from Orange, (as I figured it would work better as its a Orange Branded device.) But this has only fixed one problem so far which is it has stopped restarting when I get a phone call or receive a sms.
I would very much appreciate any help at all, as it is starting to wear my patience extremely thin. Thanks in advance.
New Radio
Sounds like you could do with completely unlocking the device and flashing a new radio, the majority of issues you describing there are directly related to the radio, maybe the one you have is not compatible with the rom you flashed
Check out the unlocking guide and the radio guide in the diamond forums

Hi thanks for replying. I have just flashed a new radio the one stated that is better. I shall see what happens now .
So now i have flashed the new radio if i wanted to flash a new ROM will the radio version stay as it is after i have flashed the new ROM or will i have to flash the radio again?

If you just flash a custom ROM then the radio will not change
If you flash an original stock ROM, then yes the radio will be changed back
Thanks for your help. I was wondering how to remove this annoying Orange splash screen and put the original HTC splash screen back on it? I have flashed my device to a custom ROM and the Orange splash screen is still there i thought it would of gone when i flashed the ROM.
Thanks again.

i flashed wm6.1 tnt to my hermes a few days ago and it worked like a charm, for a week atleast, till yesterday when it started delaying sending text messages, since texting is what i do all the time, it got pretty irritating, i thought it might be congestion from my service provider so i called em up and lodged a complaint, however when i shifted my sim to a nokia the messages started going fine, now thinking it might be a rom problem i flashed the official htc 6.0 rom but it had the same problem and then i downloaded crc_r11 rom which is the best one ive had as yet, it worked fine for about half a day and now its started giving me the error, 'text message cannot be sent' and that too after like a minute or two of trying to send it, shifting the sim to another phone fixes the problem... does anyone know a solution to this? my ipl is 1.04 and spl is 1.40 olipro
right now im downgrading to wm5 to see if that fixes the problem but i really loved crc v11
could this be a radio rom problem?
Yes. what radio are you using?
best practice is to flash with your carrier's shipped rom, and then upgrade/downgrade radio and then flash with crc's which I love too!
guess what. i just went into device information to check which radio rom version i have and.... its all blank! no rom version no radio rom version no protocol version no rom date! in the next window that has information on memory and colours etc theres a load of random characters. i mean nothing readable. and in the outgoing and incoming call timer fields it says 'unknown'
whats going on :s
i just hard reset my device
got this
radio version
1.48.00.10
See how you get on with your Radio showing up now. If you want to change make sure you follow the guidlines in the WIKI as upgrading the Radio is the most dangerous thing you do with your phone. (unless you take it high board diving with you... )
which radio rom version shud i use then in your opinion?
i just downgraded my phone to the stock vodafone rom that it came with and the radio rom version is 1.32.00 however the wm6.1 roms are 1.48 as i told u before, shud i install them new windows and then downgrade the radio rom?
i tried what zocster said, flashing vodafones wm5 rom downgraded my radio rom to 1.32 and then i upgraded to crc 11 and the radio rom stayed the same so all systems go till now
thanks guys!

Hi!
I am totally new to HTC Diamond. I got my set from England (Orange). It was locked. I was able to unlock it with the free solution available. Ok. Now the problem is I heard about TouchFLO but it I can't seem to activate. What can be the reason and what can I do?
Second, mine says it has :
ROM Version: 1.37.405.1 WWE
Radio Version: 1.20.OliNex
IS it ok. Or can I get a new more better version. Whats with radio version? Please guide me what can I do? I right now have no idea. I tried the tutorials as well but I am confused.
thats not the radio version, thats the SPL (Service Provider Lock).
and its a Hard SPL, which i presume you flashed to 'unlock' it.
the Hard SPL lets you flash a different ROM (but voids your warranty) it doesnt SIM unlock it tho.
TF3D (Touch Flo 3D) should run automatically when the phone is started, if it doesnt, go to Start> Settings> Personal tab> Today> Items tab and make sure "TouchFLO 3D" is checked.
Old ROM

The ROM version you're showing here is really old (as ROM's go!). You can get a link to the latest Orange ROM (v1.93) here, or flash one of the superb cooked ROM's in this forum

Thanks a lot. But flashing with v1.93 will not do anything bad with the set. I once tried to upgrade my Imate jamin and it went dead and was not repaired. So I am a little hesitant you know.
you have already voided your warranty by flashing a Hard SPL. i would suggest flashing it back to the original, then flashing the latest Orange ROM (its not supposed to be too bad).

Thansk. Just tell me which is the latest and best version that I should use?
did u even look at the other threads? ....
4 threads down from yours:

Ok ok man. i got it myself without looking them thanks. But now I have this problem that messages are not being sent. i tried soft reset and hard reset but no avail. What could be the reason for that? B
By the way I upgraded it with 1.93 flash given above in this thread.
Try the new 2.00 ROM.
You can also try one of the smaller lite ones
(Swtos, Panosha), each time followed by a HARD reset (backup your Internal Storage data first).
If THAT doesn't work, you might have an SMS configuration/operator issue.

messages not sent
make sure you have set the phone to your service provider....in connections
Hi guys,
I've just rooted the AMOLED HTC Desire (Branded, Simlocked, Orange FR) with the following version:
- HBOOT: 0.75
- Radio : 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
- Firmware version : 1.15
So i have few questions:
- Do i need to update radio to use with froyo ?
- Which radio should i use to remove simlock ?
- Is there any combination of radio + hboot would brick my Desire ?
- Any suggestion on cooked froyo i should use ?
Thank you very much
- no you dont need to upgrade your radio to use froyo, just to use the hd video recording
- you cant remove a simlock with a radio lol
- radio and hboot dont interact with eachother so i doubt it
- everyone seems to use leedroid these days, i like nextsence tho both roms are pretty awsome tho
@AndroHero: Thank you for you quick reply. But i seached forum, and found that each version of firmware does required a specific radio version. And my radio is quite obsolete. I doubt that froyo requires a higher radio version.
They also mentioned that if radio and hboot is not compatible with each other, my phone will be bricked.
And i'm afraid of upgrading to froyo will also upgrade radio and hboot which leads to loosing rooting capability.

i have used froyo with the stock radio i got with my desire, only problem was camcorder crashed, i have the same hboot version as you and used every radio under the sun with no problems, if you flash a custom rom, they will not come with a radio or hboot upgrade so dont worri about that
@AndroHero: I do see the newest version of LeeDroid do require new radio and they said i need a unlock code("Orange users may need an unlock code.")
I don't have a unlock code, but i still use an orange simcard. Is it ok ?

no orange users need to buy a sim unlock code to sim unlock your desire before you can flash a new radio, otherwise you will get network locked ( meaning you cant use the network, phone, internet ect ), after you have sim unlocked your desire you can continue to use your orange sim as usuall but you need to sim unlock your phone
@AndroHero: So said . Is there anyway so that i can update to froyo without upgrade radio ? I see most cooked roms need updated radio to work.
Anyway, if i want update radio, is there anyway to backup current radio and restore later ? Nandroid seems not to be eable to do that

there is a thread the top of the development section with all the radio's, just take a note of your radio and then download it again if nessessary like i said before as far as i know (and have tried) froyo will work with the old radio's just some of the functions will crash like camcorder, when the first htc froyo rom was leaked we had no new radio so everyone used it with the ones they had

The latest 2 radio's can be used on Orange without an unlock code.
Thank you guys, i will cross my fingers and do a radio update tonight
Old (4.x) radios are not supported with froyo. It may seem to work, but you will end up with problems, and devs will usually refuse to offer any support if you have an old radio.
Some custom roms will flash the radio as well.
I answered all this on MoDaCo this morning...
I've just updated radio to the newest, but the download speed seems never reach 0.5mbps, uplad is 1.6 mbps.I tried with iphone 4 (with the same sim card),it can reach 4mbps for download and 2mbps upload easily. Any idea ?

lol unlucky..
also i've herd people get past the radio problem by doing the update without the sim card in the phone. and then inserting it in.
they might be talking BS, but it might be fact. best thing to do is unlock the handset anyways

Have you checked your APN settings?
hi,i realized the problem is from the operator. There are 3 access point, and only one of them allows me connecting at max speed. "Orange Internet" is suck. Use "Orange World" instead.
Hi! I am in your same situation. I have a Orange branded Desire. Finally, did you update the radio without need SIM unlock?
Thanks
Yes, I CONFIRM that you can update it without simlock.
Hi,
I bought a HTC desire locked to orange. I rooted it and upgraded the radio to the latest one and then flashed OpenDesire 2.6.0 only to find that I get a message asking me to enter the simlock pin.
So I bought the simlock pin. This works fine, however after a messages stating that I was succesfull nothing happens. there's a warning sim notification on the top corner of my screen but when I expand the notification bar there is no message. The phone still hasn't registered/acknowledged my sim card though (I cannot make calls etc).
Am I doing things in the wrong order?
Please help.
Thanks,
Craig
Which radio version are you using? The latest ones do not seem to have any problem with Orange phones.

You're the first to report SIM lock issues with the latest radios, you on Orange UK?

Yes, orange UK. I'm just trying a different ROM as we speak (DeFroST_3.1)
Those radios have been ok with Orange branded phones so far. Did you let the phone boot after you flashed your radio before you installed the custom ROM?
I would try flashing the latest 2.1 generic RUU (goldcard required). Apparently there are problems trying to sim unlock a phone on some non-stock ROMs.

I understand what a gold card is etc....but why is it needed again here?
I thought the gold card pretty much allowed you to boot into recovery and then flash a rom?
I will try the following first:
1)wipe / clear cache's
2) flash radio and reboot
3)flash rom
This is what I SHOULD be doing right?
When you first updated the radio did you boot into your Orange software? If so, I take it there was no request for a sim unlock code then?
Without a goldcard you can't flash using an RUU (there are no branded Orange ones).
You could also try installing a custom pre-rooted froyo ROM.

I don't think there was a request for simlock. Instead it just rejected the sim.
Oh right....why do I want an RUU? I'm sure I'm missing something here.....My phone's already rooted....I just want a custom rom on here eg. open desire...
People have had problems unlocking their phones on non-stock roms.

Ahh ok. So I apply the RUU rom and unlock....then re-root etc and I won't need to unlock again?
That's what I'd try.
OK, thanks alot mate
Just a quick update. I've flashed RUU and then sim unlock has worked perfectly. I'm now going to root and try a custom rom again. If this fails I guess I'm stuck with RUU = stuck with sense = no wii remote
You will need to update the radio again for the latest roms.
Hi everybody, I have problem after upgrading from 2.10.405.2 to 2.29.405.2
After this upgrade I am not able to switch WiFi ON. It always stays OFF saying an error message while I am trying to start it.
I have tried to upgrade radio. Successfully upgraded to latest (32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27), but WiFi is still dead.
I have NOT rooted Desire. Update was made by ZIP file from Recovery. Originally it was Orange branded phone.
Anyone can help me please? Thank you in advance.
Latest radio is 5.14.05.17. You can download it here. When I upgraded the update worked for me fine. Can't you upgrade further since there is 2.29.405.5 version out?
Thank you for your answer. I have sucessfully upgraded radio from your link to 5.14 but WiFi is still disabled - dead.
Do I need to do RUU flash for upgrading to 2.29.405.5? I have tried to RUU with 2.29.405.2 but with no success - so does it meen I need to have gold card? It looks my phone is debranded. Am I right?
If you're not sure if your phone is locked on a specific network, just try to use another SIM and see what happens.
As for unrooting, there is no express need for the goldcard if you are using a generic RUU, but is required if using a specific RUU.
No, it is not locked. But why it refused to RUU? Perhaps I use wrong RUU. Which generic RUU should I try? And - will it fix my dead wifi?
Check this thread for a comprehensive list of official RUUs. Assuming you are using a GSM version of the Desire, I would recommend this .
If after the succesfull update of the RUU your wifi does not come back to life, you should make use of the warranty.
Oh my god! I have realized that this Desire IS ROOTED!!!! That should be a reason why it created mess and now WiFi is not working properly.
So I will try to flash some rooted rom.

Try this:
Go to wireless networks
press menu button
select advanced
select the wifi channel policy
after you have selected the wifi channel policy you will be able to turn on wifi.
this used to happen to me when i changed rom on my htc desire. the problem is that the wifi channel is not selected. it just keeps turning on and off. the above procedure solved the problem for me. hope this helps.
Thank you for replies. I have solved the problem by flashing another rooted rom. Now I am 2.29.405.5
to jamy: it's a pitty I flashed the phone sooner as I have read your post. I am really wondering if it would help...
Anyway thank you, guys!
