Yes you may call me a noobie or what ever you like at the end of the post...
Well i got my Orange SPV M3100 about a week and a half ago, everything was going fine, then i heard that windows has realised windows mobile 6, so i downloaded WMXDA 0.20 last week the phone was working good but in recent days everything just crashes, i would like to know if i should downgrade back to the orange setting and how that would be possible, or should i change the radio rom and how would that be possible? i have listed below the current setting/os of my phone and would be very greatful of the help that i recheve...
ROM version: 3.22.110.1
ROM date: 01/04/07
Radio version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol version: 32.53.7018.01H
Thanks a ton in advance for the help!
if the phone was running ok but is now crashing it is probably some of the software you have installed. Try un-installing some (or all) of it or maybe even a hard reset.
Do you have any apps installed on the memory card. A lot of people are having problems with regular lock ups and freezes if apps with a today plugin are installed to memory card.
Also it seems that many people are having problems with certain spb software.
Would recommend a hard reset and then install your apps and test one by one to find the culprit.
S.K.
cheers guys...could you let me know how/what i need to upgrade my radio rom? thanks

Dude, you just posted that your ROM was screwed and now you want to mess with your radio!! You really like to live on the deep end. I suggest you take some time and read the wiki. Its not just something experienced people say to newbee's, its something that can save you a lot of heart ache and trouble.
In my advice, you took the wrong steps. I flashed my device with the latest ROM from my carrier that had the radio that I wanted. THEN I flashed my device with the hacked ROM.

OK noobie first thing, Un-noobify yourself by
1) Reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 about what may likely happen if you do not arm your brain with enough imformation... trust me, it's worth spending the time reading.
2) Hard-SPL your phone with Oli's bootloader, if you do not know how, find the forum thread pertaining to it.
3) Upgrade your radio to 1.27, 1.35 or even try the new Trinity 1.38. (without writing over the 1.10 Oli SPL) If you do not know how the information is there in the WIKI. Apparently WM6 does not work too well with the older radios.
I ran XDA .20 on my M3100 fine with no crashes using both Radio 1.27 & 1.35. Just about to try the Trinity 1.38.
If you are tempted to miss any of the steps. DON'T. Happy reading.

Big Big Big problem new rom

Good morning all
Is the first time that i write in a forum, i'll try to explain my problem and i hope that somobody can help me.
I'm working in china and one day i lost my thelephone, so i decided to buy a PDA HTC P3300.But only after some day i saw that some thing was not working, so i'm tring to downgrade a new rom.
Here i had my problem, i followed all the details that i found on internet, also i took some informations and file from this forum to coplete the procedure like Hard SPL and so on, the problem is that when activesync is connected to the device i launch for example Hard SPL to upgrade it but after the program showed me the version installated and i said upgrade, i waited for a while and then the progam told me to check the usb connection (i tried whit 3 different cable) ERROR 260.The same thing happened when i tried to change the ROM.
CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE?? I NEED THE PDA ALSO FOR WORK.
Thank you everybody!
You might have better luck asking for assistance on this subject in the Artemis upgrading forum:

Hard Spl??? For the Artmes?? Mate are you trying to brick your device cause it seems you are doing a pretty good job of it too,Hard Spl is NOT for the p3300 it is for the Hermes and Trinity which are two very very different models of HTC. Please make an effort to read the Wiki before you start messing with the phone.Try flashing the t-mobile stock rom FOR THE ARTEMIS(WITHOUT THE HARD SPL) and hopefully it may work also find out from your buyer if it is CID unlocked though i doubt wether they would know.
Check in Settings - Connections - USB to PC that the USB advanced network functionality is not ticked. That's caught me out in the past after making changes.
This is assuming that others in this forum are correct and you've not yet made a brick using the wrong model. Good luck!

T-Mobile Here
Did you buy it in China?
If you bought the phone in China, there will be 2 versions. 1 for the chinese market (han huo) and the others are for other markets (usually europe) then flashed with the chinese rom (shui huo). As far as I know the chinese versions aren't locked and the foreign market versions musn't be locked either due to the fact that they have to put on the chinese rom

thanks to the ELITE team, ROM chefs, and everyone that made upgrading our diamonds possible!
Niceeeeeeeeeeeee
Looks good mate. Keep it coming!
My one issue with this (and only a small one!) is that .info sites are notorious for scammers. Obviously thats not a scam site but you don't wanna be tarred with same brush!
really? ha well, the main reason is that a .info is $0.99/year haha (maybe its cheap since they're only used by scammers now?)... and i don't think it hurt trinityguides being on an .info domain.. but if accessing a .com would make you feel more at home, then donate away!
LOL 99c - no wonder they are used by scammers.... !!
Looks really nice. Keep up the good work.
Hmm.. I know it sounds very stupid and yes it is.
I do not know which version I had before. It was one of the earlie Expansys Models build for UK. Does someone know which SPL was the original one?
Cheers
hmm... i don't know about that. wouldn't it be the one on the official UK ROM that's circulating? or is that without SPL?
It was an original UK-ROM. So I guess a UK device.
Bought her ein germay from a company who had the device already 2 weeks ago.
Everything was in english and the default region was set to english (uk).
Maybe I ned to have a look at the box. Maybe I can find more info about the device there.

Really nice.
Some basics need to be Explained:
SPL,Radio,ROM differences, three parts.
What is a ROM
What is SPL and Bootloader
Why do we need HardSPL
What happens when we Flash Rom
What happens with hard reset
What happens with soft reset
What is the Radio Rom
Internal Storage and Memory difference
These basics will make a newbe more familiar with procedure.
IT's very well explained how HARDSPL install works, but when never done this, no-one will know what HARDSPL is and a newbie never is sure enough about it to just flash without asking us. And we want this Explanations, so one does not have to ask
Please help! Diamond will not boot
Hi
I did something really stupid. I was having battery drain issues with my new Touch Diomand, so I logged into HTC website to get the firmware upgrade.
I used to have an HTC Touch, and that was the only firmware available on their site, at the time I did not realise that it was the wrong one for me !
So I started installing it, it failed, and now I get the rainbow screen at startup.
I have tried hard reset, no joy. I have called HTC, they cannot help. No-one here in NZ services these phones, so I am stuck.
I have tried installing the firmware update from modmydiamond.info, but I STILL get the same problem, it just shows the rainbow screen and I cannot continue from there...
On a PC,this would be a bootstrap issue, I have no idea what to do (other than buying an iphone) any wisdom ??
That site is really nice...it introduced me to the HTCD flash world...
thanks.
Link named Hard-SPL 1.40 points to version 1.30
Hi,
On page Home -> Upgrade Guides -> Upgrade to Hard-SPL it says:
Download a Hard-SPL from the forums here
Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex SIGNED
I succesfully downloaded and installed the Olinex Hard-SPL, but when I enter
the bootloader te tri-colour screen reads SPL-1.30 OliNex i.s.o. 1.40. What
did I do wrong? What are the differences between 1.30 and 1.40?
Thanks in advance,
Flat
P.S.: Great site!!

Hello lloyd, as you can see from all the offers of help that you received, this site is full of big heads who claim to be geniuses, but when faced with a simple question reply that you should read more!
Unfortunately, it appears that most of the contributors are so illiterate and self centered that they do not have time to help people with genuine problems.
For the last six months, I have been trying to upgrade my rom, only to find links that do not work and instructions that are incomplete.
If you want any real help, you will not find it on this website.

Hi All,
Please help me getting a ROM for my HTC Touch Diamond i bought it on eBay. I checked with HTC people they said my phone is US based. I downloaded the new realeased ROM from HTC Website however when i am updating, it goes till 1% and says "invalid model id". I have some stupid Dutty's rom on my phone i want the original HTC rom.

Take a lookie at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425 and after that check out here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
Also a good way to check to see what version of the diamond you have is, the US version has no front camera, but the EU version does ^^
I dont think kboots deserves any help here.
he's way too lazy to search around, and call Dutty's rom stupid.
Sorry imatrix but didnt mean it. I am so frustrated with the duttys version, it doesnt allow me to do anything with my phone. Gets hang everytime, weather doesnt work. Sorry about that, i did lot of research on the same thats the reason im here now. Thanks Abiscas for your reply, ill follow your steps and would let you know how it goes.

Hi, seeing how you have dutys rom on your phone, its safe to day you have HardSPL on your phone, but before you start flashing other stuff, check in here, press VOLUME DOWN + RESET and it will take you into the bootloader, when you are in there it should say which HardSPL you have, and also which version of the diamond you have india or US but doesnt matter really, after you check your bootloader and what not and your diamond version which should be DIAM110 you can go here http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=483 and enter your SN behind the batter pack to download HTC stock diamond rom.
