Please read this sticky at the ROM section.
Thanks for your help I did all that but now I am still confused on what roms I can install on my phone and what ones I can't if you could help me I would apperciate it thanks again!
Once you follow the directions from the linked post, and have successfully flashed HardSPL, you can flash any GSM Rhodium ROM. Do not flash ROMs and radios intended for the CDMA Worldphone Rhodiums, and do not flash ROMs made for other devices, such as the Topaz, Diamond, Raphael, Kaiser, etc. Flashing ROMs from either of those categories can brick your device beyond repair. Basically, you can safely flash any ROM from this subforum.

hi all,
i'm pretty new at this rom stuff. i want to speed up my diamond but i don't know how to upgrade my rom and stuff. could someone be kind enough to tell me how to do this?
my rom version is 1.34.831.1 WWE
First you need to download the Hard spl from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
Its the second post down with the CAB file attached....for gods sake please the instructions given as we wont be held responsible if you brick your phone.
Once you have done that then download any of the roms here in this forum, the best one i would say is the TLR rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=404626
Download that but run it after you have installed hard_spl on your phone. Once you have installed hard spl then you can flash to any rom you like. Again i stress read the instructions given in both threads so that you dont mess your phone up.
Good luck.
thanks a lot,
i went to the download for the hard spl, should i download the signed version?
If you do download the signed version then you need to download the signed version of the rom your after. Only difference between signed and unsigned is that signed are safer but ive updated my rom twice with unsigned roms and they work perfectly well. Havent had any problems so far when running TLRs roms.
how do i know if the rom is signed?
also, what's the difference between the TLR rom and the elite roms i've been reading about?
thanks

Because the person who posts up the rom will say its signed or not...or you could pm them to ask them.
As for the differences??...you need to read each rom thread that your considering to flash to and find out yourself what the difference is. I havent flashed mine to the Elite one but the TLR rom im using is pretty fast and also gives you the option to remove TF3D if you want to...frees up alot of memory if you do so...thats one of the bigger differences there.
I dont know much abouyt the Elite rom as i havent flashed to that one.
thanks man
Hi everyone,
I'm very new to the world of cooking or flashing roms etc. I appreciate this will be quite boring to most of you, but I was hoping someone could help me understand the basics. I'm from the UK and have just brought a HTC Touch Diamond on Orange network which I am very happy with. I am however keen on the idea of trying a new, potentially faster ROM. I currently have 1.37.405.1WWE. I have read a lot of good things about Manila and some others on here (elite) but I'm unsure whether to try one or not. My first question is how hard or easy is it to install a new ROM and what could go wrong? Could a newbie potentially ruin my new phone? Can I re-install the old ROM if I don't like the new one? I have read a lot about people doing manual changes etc , but I don't know any coding. Do I need to? I have searched the forum, but couldn't find any answers to such basic questions. Please could someone help me?!?!?
Thanks
It is not very hard to flash your phone with the ROM of your choice and usually it's quite safe as long as you follow the recommended procedure. Installing HardSPL is the first step which will ensure that a cooked ROM will not "brick" your phone. This is flashed as per the normal flashing procedure. Following this, you can choose the ROM you fancy ( I use Bepe's and I am very happy with it) and flash, again using the same procedure. The cooked ROMS are much faster than the stock ROM and usually very stable. Bepe produces 2 version of his ROM, Basic and Premium, whose major difference is that Basic does not include TF3D. Finally you can also flash a Radio ROM if for whatever reason you are not happy with the connectivity features and stability provided by your current ROM.
No coding required to do any of the above.
there is a nice guide here which shows you step by step how to flash a ROM:

I reckon the "flashing" part of your question has been answered.
Regarding the "cooking" part, what can I say... You won't learn till you do it yourself.
There are a few excellent guides out there (you can start with the xda-dev wiki)
And remember - search is your best friend. Both questions could have been answered if you'd have searched the forum.
hi
is any way to use cocked roms in this phone?
i want to enable my radio, gps and so on
Yes there is
Go here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=67 I have tried a bunch of Juicy's roms, I also tried Juggalos and right now I have Mighty's rom on my sprint diamond which I like. They have a good sticky at the top of the forum telling you how to unlock and flash a custom rom, flash at your own risk. Hope I helped ya
Please be kind I'm a newbie and i wanna try the newest build compatible with the HTC Touch2 (aka HTC Mega) can someone hook me up?
Thank you.
look section for device. currently it's not possible to flash ROMs on T2 due to lack of hardspl.
Okay, again bare in mind I'm a newbie, how can I get the Hardspl from my device to help?

quite a newbie as well. but you just have to read the forum. in the ROM development of your device you see that the HardSpl is not yet done. This one is needed if you want to flash cooked ROMs.
There's also plenty of threads about flashing ROMs and everything is explained properly.
Thank you.
And thanks for not calling me an idiot
I have tried to get the basics rt but it became an info overload. I know i would require HARDSpl to flash to a cooked rom. ...but am not sure how to install hard spl and then go abt flashing my phone...
would really appreciate if someone can give it out in steps or provide links stepwise on how to do it.
thanx in advance
they are all already there just read the sticky threads in this forum for more information, along with hspl you should get your phone security unlocked and update a radio rom so that the switch to a custom rom is very smooth. I'm in India and I have flashed most of the roms here without any issues.
