My phone is EasternEurope region coded, so HTC gave us only 6.5 upgrade to sense 2.1 (october 2009). I`ve been waiting for new rom upgrade (`cause every other region is allowed to), but H*C support send me a answer:
"Dear Mr.xxxxx

So, there`s no help, only hope for us. So, I downloaded a WWE Europe rom :RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship
My question is, as a flashing rom noob, can I flash it on my device without a issues. My device has ROM version: 1.86.401.1(67102)WWE, ROM date: 10/07/09, Radio version: 4.49.25.17, Protocol version: 61.44tc.25.32U.
I also have a Olinex 0.85 Hard SPL.
P.S. I read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540 (Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs)), but I just wanna be sure that everything will be fine.

I'm in the US, and I have flashed the ROM you mention several times. I use it as a base ROM for my own version.
As long as you have HardSPL on, you should not have any problems. You can always go back to what you have now if HTC has posted the Ship ROM or you find it here somewhere.

hi darkic,
any progress? did it work? thx
Yes it will work. With hard spl you can flash ANY rom. That includes cooked and stock. That the radio version are different doesn't matter. The radio controls the signal for you're rhodium. If you get less reception you can always flash the old radio back.

Just bare in mind that installing the hardspl voids your warranty.

Confirmed, European rom works without any issue. Also, if hspl is installed, in a warranty repair case, there is a way to instal stock spl with Olinex relocker.
Darkic, enjoy your new rom! By the way - you don't need Hard SPL for stock roms. And Congs! Flashing can be daunting in the beginning.

Hey!
Even though this has been discussed before - and a simple search would have given you the answers, here they are:
- will i void my warranty?
- YES
- will i flash the phone the way i flash my phone with the official rom?
- YES, check www.trinityguides.info
- how do i go back to the official rom once i've flashed it with the cooked rom?
- You can download official ROMs from the support site, or you can take a look here.
tnyynt, thanks.
Mind telling me what's hard SPL for?

Read the Wiki! Here and here!
Excerpt from racerx_ trinityguides.info:
Hard SPL will allow you to flash cooked ROMs without SuperCID’ing your device and also will protect your device from being bricked in a bad flash. If a bad flash occurs it should remain in bootloader, and you can re-flash another ROM.

Click to collapse
And remember the rules: search (native forum search, google search), read the results, read the wiki, search some more and then ask!
tnyynt, once again thanx (i LOVE your themes by the way).
So, since my phone is unlocked, I don't have to do hard SPL right?
Just download the cooked rom and go from there?
sorry for keep asking questions here, i know i can search, but i'm confused with the terminologies.
be nice please

Enter bootloader and check for HardSPL and version to make sure. If it is either OliPro or Des, you can proceed with flashing.

So finally took the plunge to upgrade to WM6.1!!!!

thanks for the help!

I tried downloading the newest HTC ROM update---says my device is not supported for this update. ???????
I downloaded the file using a provided serial in another thread for the WWE version.
Can I use this file to flash my rom????
My diamond is an UNBRANDED and UNLOCKED version. I assume its a UK or US version. I use it with my ATT&T sim card.
It's a 1.93.422.4 WWE currently...
Any reason this 2.03 rom WONT work for me?
Can I use it?
I started the flash process just to see if it would give me an error or incompatible message and it did not. It was ready to install.
Any thoughts?
thanks
Man,
You really need to read the wiki and this thread.
Not meaning to sound rude - but your questions are answered thoroughly, providing the information you need to understand before flashing your device.
wow man, that was SO INSIGHTFUL.... thanks
I have flashed MANY phones, many times. I am very aware of how to do it and Yes I have read that page.
I am just trying to see IF ANYONE KNEW offhand if that new WWE ROM would work over my existing ROM without bricking it.
but thanks
If you got it off the Diamond page and know it's a Diamond ROM for sure, then you can flash it. If you don't know where you go it or have no idea for which device it came for, it has to be ported.
Thread closed.
Hi All,
Sorry, there is so much information on this site, i'm lost.
Can someone please provide links to what I need to download and install to upgrade a stock standard telstra diamond touch so I can get it working correctly with Optus?
Thanks.
OK, i've upgraded the bootloader to the hard spl, and the radio version is already at 1.00.25.06 (do you think its worth downgrading to 1.00.25.05??)
Now, what's the most popular rom for the diamond? What do people suggest?
Thanks.

I'm using Dutty's ROM at the mement. But I will be using this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438313
when its bugs get sorted out since its based on the Diamond 2 thingo or whatever so it'll have some new features.
I'm the same as you. Bought the Telstra Diamond and chucked in my Optus SIM. Pretty much just have to any ROM and you won't have to see the Telstra branding everywhere.
That ROM you linked looks rather spic. What issues are stopping you from flashing that ROM now?

To be honest I didn't find out about that ROM until just before I found your post, Mainly time has been stopping me and the hassle, and I read that there are some little bugs that it has when skimming through the thread but there was nothing that was bad enough to make me not upgrade. Just don't want to Flash to the ROM and then have a new revision come out two days later which is better.
Think I'll upgrade to this ROM right not though
Thanks for your post.
I decided to use the rom that you linked to, and found found it a 1000% improvement from the Tesltra one.
Only issue I have found so far is trouble connecting to wifi networks. Will have a bit more of a play soon.
Apart from that, it's good.
I 'downgraded' to the 1.00.25.05 radio and seemed to get alot better battery life from it.
Regarding ROMs, I agree almost anything is better than the stock Telstra one
Hi,
I've got a stock Orange Touch Diamond running the latest Official Orange Rom, 1.97. I badly want 2.03 for the fixes and tweaks that have been made!!
I'm planning on using the Generic 2.03.401.3 that is available from the HTC site. Has anyone already flashed this on top of the branded Orange ROM, did you come across any problems?
The phone already has HardSPL, not sure what version though.
I'm doing a full backup of all contacts/data. Is there anything else that I should do just in case??
Thanks in advance
Rob
lol, has anyone got an experience of this?
Best way is to try it and see. If you have any problems flash back to the original again.
There are plenty of 2.03 ROM's out there with even more fixes and tweaks to make them stable.
In my opinion the 2.07 is the most stable out there at the moment.
Have a look around and see what suits you best.
Will give it a go tonight and post back my findings...
Plenty of guides etc within here that you can use..................However..
I have just done this myself and this is the process I followed;-
Install HardSPL, now it is 1.40.Olinex
Used a working serial to get the latest ROM update from HTC site
Ran the updater and that was it..
As it's been said, all the info you need is on the first page of the ROM forum so have a look and go from there

Thanks for the info Trixster!
I've had 3 HTC phones, M500, M3100 and now the TD and I've changed the roms on all of them. I did get problems with the M500 as I used an Orange Swiss Rom. I've just never used a none operator supplied rom before so was just a bit apprehensive and wanted to know if anyone else had done it.
Will post the results here...
Upgrade was totally painless. Don't know what i was worried about.
GPS works a little bit faster, but not much in it.
The new 'g sensor' calibration is useful though.
Has anyone got a link to the latest stock ROM. Would be much appreciated. I've been searching for almost an hour straight.
Thanks in advance...
@nuke1, if you're talking about a stock 2.07 ROM, then I'm in the same boat. Anybody got a link?

Hi all:
Just got my Tilt2 yesterday from Negri electronics....very happy with the quality of it but hated the stock AT&T ROM. Just some questions I am hoping the experts here can help me out.
The phone came unlocked....if I attempt to flash it to another WWE ROM will the phone be re-locked?
I also need chinese input as well and currently I have CEstar 2.8 installed. Is there any other options to have chinese input instead?
Thanks!
K
no as to unlock
don't know answer to chinese

I don't have any answer for Chinese input. For flashing a different WWE ROM, you MUST flash HardSPL FIRST. Don't even try to flash any other ROM before flashing HardSPL. First you need to read and follow all the instructions mention in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
If you have any questions about the HardSPL ask in that thread.
For the WWE ROM's you can check this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490
Thanks guys! I am more concerned about the sim unlock.....I'll check for a WWE ROM from taiwan and hopefully that will have chinese input....otherwise I just use a english ROM and go with CESTAR.
Thanks again.
just remember to READ THROUGH the threads linked above and Hard SPL first or else it's the end of the world!!! For sim unlock, there are many like olipro who will unlock it for a price or if you're an ATT customer with good standing, you can just call them and they'll give you a sim unlock code. I do that for every phone I get - and that's free.
