Xda11s crash course

Does anyone know WHAT I have to do with this piece of junk (Xda11s)to make it work,It "freezes" on average 3 times a day,soft reset usually is a disaster as it wipes off EVERYTHING.Active sync is a joke as I have to rename and re connect most times (it keeps telling me ,this device name is in use!).Try as Imay,it refuses to pair with my bluetooth satnav (even though it says it has).It really doesn't appear to be a lot of good and I'm regreting buying the damn thing.All the above functions barring the renaming thing(is there something I should know?)work perfectly with my Xda11 and it's as stable as you could wish.Any thoughts or views would be much appreciated,thanks,Rocket

Xda11s crash coure
Well here goes, hope I'min the right place,I am ,after all,new to this(and yes I am breathing,last time I looked)
ROM version 1.13.00
ROM date 12/13/04
Radio version 1.06.00
Protocol version 1337.38
ExtRom vrsion 1.31.139
I have downloaded the Rom version from your link to my desktop but will it make any difference being T-mobile when mine is on O2?Sorry if I appear dense ,but I am (you would if you didn't have the knowledge of my subjects,I too am an expert in my fields,though not in this one,so please bear with me).Rocket

Your not dense but you might be new
Based on ext rom 1.31.139 have the latest UK o2 rom
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
What you could do is upgrade the radio to 1.15 or 1.13
(many feel 1.13 is better)
What you could do is upgrade your rom to 1.42
Now with a rom update you need to cook your ext rom or use the ext rom that comes with the update. This will mean that your device will smell like a T-mobile, have T-mobile as the splash screen when you boot and your mms settings will be t-mobile.
All of this you can change via the forum.
Wiki is the best place to go and follow the instructions on it and read the forum. Most of the questions you will be asking have been answered.

I am not a tech person with these things but my device has been super stable since I bought Spb Pocket Plus.
I used to reset every day now I only reset about once a month.

Beginners Advice

Hi there,
I've got a bit of a problem, basically - I jumped in at the deep end (so to speak) and went on a flashing spree.
I have a 'T-Mobile MDA Vario II' and its currently running:
'Windows Mobile 6 Professional'
'CE OS 5.1.195 (Build 1774.2.3.0)'
ROM Version: Pro BLACK 3.0.1
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
So anyway, I've got a few questions:
What is the 'Radio' version?
I seem to have (on boot) a black screen with orange circles in the middle, seemingly reading 'dopod' - does anyone know what this is
Whats the best rom (or whatever) to install that is -just- Windows Mobile 6 (and office/live) and that will run stably on my phone, and support T-Mobile UK
Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Gav.

The Radio is what connects your phone to the 3G signal.
The Splash or Boot Screen, ( same as on your computer when booting up)
Most of the Roms here are fine, try flashing one of Schap's. They are pretty stable.

Yes and flash your Radio for max WM6 support too (1.51.00.10 for example)
1.16 Radio is very old, WM6 wasn't released when this was modern. Could cause problems with new WM6, but i don't know exactly.

When you boot up your phone, at first there are four letter/number combos. After a few seconds two more appear, and the top one is your radio version.
Or just go settings -> system tab -> device info and it will be listed.
I would go with a full rom for a bit until you learn more about your phone and what apps you like/dont like. Then you can try lites and ultra lites (roms with most programs removed so you can configure just the way you like).

Hehe... GAV is a man (I assume) after my own heart. Shoot first and ask questions later. Love it.
Good advice above me here.
Many of the new packaged ROMs will not replace the splash screen, but some simple searching will show you how to do that. Just experiment with ROMs and Radios to see what works best. Radio reliability is highly network dependent. Just make sure you put HardSPLv7 on there from Olipro. Makes your flashing safer - harder to make a permanent brick. Good luck and have fun.

Heres a link for makin your own splash screens, if you're interested, courtesy of Mr. Vanx. Technically you can put any pic(s) you want.

ROM based on 1.97 causing issues?

Yesterday I started to get problems with my HTC Touch Diamond. I flashed my device with udK Syrius HD R0 (BETA 5) and everything was going smooth, restored my contacts, my messages and tweaked WM6 a bit.
But after a soft reset to apply all changes the device welcomed me with the ordinary "You're using your device for the first time" message and I had to setup my device again. After another soft reset my device hung at the boot screen with ROM information and the "Touch Diamond" text.
All I could do now was a hard reset. But the problem didn't go away... the device kept freezing and resetting, and I had to do 2 or 3 more hard resets before I decided (actually I already had, but had to wait for the download to finish ) to flash to another ROM.
So I downloaded Vic Hybrid 2 Diamond ROM UC. Flashed and everything seem to went fine. But just as before, after a soft reset the device hung. Hard reset...
Why's this!? Is my HTC Touch Diamond broken or is there anything I'm missing? Perhaps this occur because of the ROM's is based on the firmware 1.97??
EDIT #1: sorry, wasn't meant to create this topic under "ROM Development"... Any mod, feel free to move it.
EDIT #2: Seems one more guy had this a relating problem after ROM flash (udK's ROM for that matter too): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455335
EDIT #3: "The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source. Press SEND to reset your device or press any other button to cancel. This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings."... didn't have time to press any "SEND" button either... it continued to... guess? The setup! Entering date + time + calibrating the stylus...

*sigh*... not it happend again. Just restored all my SMS and tried to thread them again (screw that either way!), soft resetted my device... and the damn WM6 setup guide for clock, calibration showed up, and now "Installing..."
*sigh - again*

hi dude i had the same problem
i have a DIAM300 and had the olinex 1.40 hard spl with mossis rom 2.5 (ger)
i flashed mossis 2.6 which is based on 1.97 and i had those problems too, after a few softresets it makes a hardreset...then i tried olinex 1.93 thought it could be the bootloader but the problems were still there...
i tried some other roms, udk Syrius too which is fast as hell, but unfortunately the same problem here and sometimes it even didn't boot...
i made about 50 softresets, 20 hardresets, flashed bout 10 times....then i had enough, flashed the original O2 rom, flashed the original bootloader, flashed the original rom again, and now everything is allright, it's runnin, no hardresets, i tried about 20 softresets, installed software blabla....
but now i'm wondering if the problem will be there again when i start to flash
and its really annoying when u flash a rom, customize everything, everyting seems to be allright and then it makes a hardreset instead of a softreset....

Damn, I don't want to flash to the orginal ROM! Just flashed to a ROM I've tried earlier, based on 1.93, Panosha ShineOn, so let's see if there's any more trouble...

Yeah, I feel the pain. Getting sickin' tired of this **** now!!!

Try this one
Hi
Whenever i have this kind of bizar issues [ also with previous devices i had before my Diamond] i did the following:
1. Flash back to original official ROM including Radio [ no need to compelrte the initial setup , just flash and go back to bootloader screen right after]
2. Flash again to the targeted cooked ROM
3. Probelm disapeared
My assumption is that for some cooked ROMs the coverage of files been flashed and replaced is not 100% and therefor we face inconsistancy issues.
Try it

my view of this
my view of this:
new roms have other architecture such as new manila new drivers etc etc (1.97)
when you "tweak" them such as manila mods wich are made for older versions this kind of problems can happen. the problem is we have to many modded roms right now. we have 1.37 roms 1.93 roms 1.94 roms (ported from raphael) 1.97 roms and so on. all of this roms you cant compare with each other.
a example: HTC Diamond Manila has no LANDSCAPE files. every rom wich has landscape support had included RAPHAEL Manila parts. no one can deny this. cause its the only device right now that offered the landscape support on manila. but looking to diamond application and software section here and the date this files were made are back in the past. this is just a example where this problem result of.
just my 2 cent

Yeah, I bet there's some issues with the new 1.97 and all the new drivers. The chefs need to get stuff straight before I'm trying any new 1.97 based ROM out again.
My issue seem to have been fixed after flashing to Shine On 2.4 Full (1.93 based!). My device now soft resets OK, and I keep all settings... well, atleast for the moment. I'll continue to soft reset every now and then to see if the problem comes back to me.

Yeah, got EXACTLY the same problem with ROMs based on Touch HD or Quartz OS built Hard SPL 1.93 And I don't use any manilla mods, prefer its original view with original tabs. All I have is some portion of software to install:
- Inesoft Cash org;
- Inesoft Address book;
- Agenda Fusion 8;
- Alreader;
- Auto keeper;
- HiCalc;
- Navitel Navigation system.
and the only "tweak-like" soft I use is Answerkeysdisabler. But having serious intentions to reach the truth I didn't install it.
When I've tried to flash syrius beta 02 AND beta 05) I got a STABLE hard reset after 3-5 reeboots. And it doesn't correspond with the quantity of soft installed, it's just resets and thats all.
When using Aztor v7 i had 99% hangup when installing my software just after HR, and it always hangs on different program installation, then, after reeboot manilla cannot start.
These are very interesting ROMs, especially I like AZTOR's pholosofy, but... couldn't manage to give it a try
Tried SwiftBL's, Dutty's, Bepe's ROMS - all smooth and fine. And the STABLEST FOR ME was the old bElite 0,99d. NO issues at all! Now i'm usind Dutty's 3,4 in general it's stable and ok, but with some minor issues. Would be really nice to have issue-free ROM based on new versions of software.

Advice needed........

Ok so i'm new to this custom rom thing but i'm kinda forced to it since I bought my Diamond in India and apparently htc doesn't offer updates on their site and I can't be bothered to go to the airtel website (wich is probably in Hindy ) and look for an update.
So I managed to update to HardSPL 1.4 using the tutorial thread (thanks btw, all worked like a charm ) and installed the radio 1.0.25.05 (according to the same thread the recommended version)
So now i'm seeing many roms out there and have absolutely no clue wich rom to choose.
Maybe some advice ?
Here is my wishlist/stuff that matters
I'm based in Holland, so i'm bound to end up with one of the major providers here and gonna go for some hsdpa contract.
I'd love my HTC to be faster
I like the msn thing, but it's not required.
I don't want to be running beta/buggy softwares, my pc runs that kind of softwares, not my phone
Also i've seen (after installing the radio rom) that in a different thread there is a lot more different radio roms, with people liking the some better than the one reccommended in the tutorial post, is there a better rom and should I use it ? (better gps, faster, less batt usage ?)

Best are 1.93 rom for the "fast" part you asked but it's getting old (like 6 or 8month i guess). After you will want to go for a 2.03 rom which provides you more functionalities.
I will advise you Hikari rom, udK Syrius Topaz or Shaks or nataly. These are the rom I try every time there is a new release, I change rom every 1 or 2week so better is you check yourself.
You must have HardSPL unsigned edition for some of these rom, it's the same procedure as 1.4 SPL.
BTW, you know you can upgrade directly from your internal storage?
just put your nbh file in your storage card with the name "diamimg.nbh" (stands for Diamond Image) then reset while pressing VOL_DOWN + BACK (the button up from the hang up button). After this, you will see a HardSPL like screen (red blue green) then a gray~light blue screen asking to press the power button to upgrade.
You can do this for radio, spl and rom. It's quicker, safer and better IMO.

Some help needed

Hi guys. New to the forum.
Here's the deal.
Got a HTC touch diamond (below spec.) last week. Got it second hand and it seem to me it works pritty slugish. I mean it takes like 1-2 seconds before the phone recognize I'm trying to slide on the quick links menu in the bottom. Also the free memory after a cleanRam secion is abt 20 MB. Also smtimes the phone would not respond and nothing would help but removing the battery.
Can you please sujjest what the reason might be is it a bad ROM? Does win 6.1 work better on the Diamond as it comes with it preinstalled? Looking for some advise before changing the ROM.
T-Mobile MDA Vario IV
Bluetooth version - 2.0/2.0+EDR
O.S. Version: Win Mob 6.5 professional
CE O.S. 5.2.28011 (28011.5.5.0)
Manila version 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 28011_KH WWE
Radio version 1.09.25.23
Protocol version 52.51.25.26H
Thanks in advance!

ROM
WM6.1 is not as quick as 6.5, but it should not be taking as long as you are describing to do anything
Chances are there is a piece of software installed making the phone sluggish, you can remove programs just like a PC in the phones settings, have a look down the list and see if there is anything there you dont want
If you choose to upgrade to WM6.5 I highly recommend "BsBG 6.5" from this link
I have tried 100's of ROMs and this is the only one where everything works flawlessly on it (Dont forget to Flash the unlocked Radio and Security unlock the phone before upgrading)
