HI everybody
I am new in this field
i know nothing about HTC phones
i just bought new one swedish version
but i want change the language to english
anybody can help me and explain it to me easily
thanx alot
Yes you need to install HardSPL to install a non-Swedish ROM as the phones are region locked and HardSPL region unlocks it (not sim unlock) this allows you to install cooked ROMs or official ROMs from HTC for another region.
Here is a link to the HardSPL guide (read it carefully):

Here is a link to the latest WWE 2.03 Official Diamond ROM:

Although you may like to browse the cooked ROMs once you've installed HardSPL as you can use the,m too after that.
Welcome to the Diamond Community!
thanx alot for fast replay my phone is unlocked
so should i do all these steps ??
Yes because if it sim unlocked it does not effect the region ROM locking that HTC or the carrier put i place which is why you need hardSPL to unlock the bootloader so it will allow you to install unofficial and official ROMs from other regions or carriers! So the answer is yes.
So did it work?

Hi,
I'm new to the xda-developers forum.
I've carefully read all informations available on the wiki and in various threads of the forum, and I have to say that I'm a little confused with upgrading / downgrading stuff.
First of all, I have a SPV M3100 bought in France, Simlocked to Orange France (HERM100, IPL 1.01, SPL 1.11).
I would like to test the official HTC WM6 ROM, but I'm not sure on how I should process.
First, as far as I have understood, it is a good idea to install HardSPL v7, which allows me to flash the HTC Rom on my Orange France CID-locked device. Am I right ?
Second step, I have downloaded the HTC_TyTN_FRA_3.54.256.2_103_6275_1.47.00.10_108.exe file from the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320829
From here I'm not sure on how to proceed.
Knowing that I would like to be able to rollback to the official WM5 rom shipped by Orange France (which I have already downloaded from the wiki), what should I do:
- either flash the WM6 rom directly. I'm afraid of "overwriting" the hardspl v7 stuff in the device ?
- or extracting the content of the WM6 rom and doing all the stuff described in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeGuide to remove the bootloader from the ROM ?
I have read some posts about custom RUU too... What does this means ? Am I concerned ?
Thank you for your help.

dear sir
i bought HTC diamond from Germany O2
i crack sim problem and work well
now , i would like flash to taiwan version or UK vodafone version
but it can not flash any version i checked
the display "invalid model ID" problem
anyone who know how to solve
i use HardSPL-1.23/HardSPL-1.24 already
i am so stupid to flash any version
If you want to flash carrier ROMs please first remove IPL/SPL from that ROM.
Your Hard-SPL won't allow reflashing any other SPL.
This is for Security, a badly flashed IPL or SPL will brick your device.
Besides that, the average user won't have any advantage from another SPL other than Hard SPL.
You'd be better of with a custom cooked ROM from one of our Cooks (they are all IPL/SPL free)
Most custom ROMs stand out in stability, and added extra's.
Good luck and have Fun,
EqX

You must use Hard-SPL if you want to change you rom, cooked or Stock(Your area rom dont need hard-spl) and if you want to change radio rom. If you dont upgrade to Hard-spl you are stuck with the rom in your device..The only time you can upgrade or change rom is when a new HTC rom for Diamond is released, for your AREA. and you can download it from the HTC.com support site
If you are thinking of flash the Hard-Spl read the link Blazeitup123 put up
Hi!
My question is as follows: I bought an Excalibur SIM unlocked (free for any carrier) from ebay and it comes with WM6.1 installed with chinese/english interface. I would like to install the oficiall spanish wm6 rom from HTC...Can I do that just with the rom loader and then install the oficial spanish rom or I need to do something more to avoid errors? I assume since my excalibur is brand new and has a non-oficial rom installed that it is unlocked already.
Thanks guys!

Hello,
I received my HTC already with a cooked room and after having played with a other more recent cooked roms (mainly energyrom ones) I decided to revert to the latest HTC WME 6.1 official ROM for my HTC Diamond. Before doing so, I've 3 questions (I could not find explicit answers searching in existing topics):
1- Can I update my diamond with an official HTC rom even if an hardspl, cooked room, etc are already installed?
2- My serial indicates that my HTC diamond is a Dutch version. Can I install an official English (Europe or WWE) on it?
3- Which is the latest version for the English (europe or WWE) ROM?
Thanks a lot if you can help.
