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
hello guys
i have the HTC Touch Diamond (p3700) from rogers, and i was wondering since the phone is locked to the rogers network, is it possible for me to install a custom rom on the phone?? or do i have to do the sim unlock to do that??
sorry, this might be a noob question but i need the question answered as i had the O2 Xda Mini S before my HTC which was unlocked and this is the first time i actually purchased a phone from rogers since i get all my phones from out canada
thanks for your help guys, really appreciate it
i have a rogers HTC diamond as well.. and its got the winmob 6.1 5.2.19965 build 1.2.3 Year 2008.. the HTC website doesnt let me download the feb 2009 firmware as the device is not suitable..
a few simple Noob questions please..
1 - its working in my country with other network sims, all of them but the phone strartup says rogers... is my cell unlocked or not?
2 - will Hard Spl remove everytrace of rogers from my phone? (i actually wana debrand it from rogers to plain standard retail version)..
3 - Will any firmare upgrade using hardspl method work on my cell?.. and what will happen to the orignal FW? will it be erased permanently, or will it still be stored in a secret storage, so that it can be retrieved later when i plan to sell it later and rest to factory defaults?
Again, as a newcomer and a noob at the Xda dev scene, i would apreciate any kind of help .
thanks in anticipation..

Hi,
As far as I know, you should be able to install any ROM you want.
But make sure you have flashed Hard-SPL Olinex Unsigned,
just try the link in my sig and follow steps 6 - 11.
You still need an unlocker to make it possible using other networks though.

1. Yes your phone is unlocked, but you are using a rogers customized ROM. Try a different ROM to remove it.
2. No, Hard-SPL will not remove it. You'll need to flash another ROM to do that.
3. Firstly, if you are flashing/upgrading a new firmware (we call it ROM) then all data will permanently removed.
There are some packs to revert your ROM back to stock, but I don't know if there are any Rogers ROM's available on the net.
I hope I have answered all your questions.
Good luck both!

Thanks a lot Elcondor.. it solved half of my problems..

No, it shouldn't brick your phone. In fact, Hard-SPL makes your device hardly brickable. Just try it, you will not be dissapointed. But, it's not my responsabillity if you brick you diamond, keep that in mind.

The splash screen is a harder part to do. You need Patchsplash to patch your splash screen. In that way, the splash screen should appear right. Note that the procedure to do that is pretty hard. Here are some more instructions if you didn't get it.
And about a Diamond stock ROM, take a look here. A 2.03.4 ROM including a new radio and the splash screen.
Good luck guys!

No prob my friend, xda-devs is to help each other.
To recommend a ROM is pretty hard, since there are very different kind of ROMs available.
Do you want a ROM with full Diamond2 experience, without WM 6.5(.x) try Gen. Y D2 R4.
Or, do you prefer a light WM6.5(.x) ROM, try BSB 6.5.1. It is pretty fast and light.
In a short time, I am going to release a 6.5.1 ROM (called Condor GT), with very nice graphics and still very fast.
Just give some a shot and you'll soon find out which ROM is the best.
BTW All the ROMS given in this thread are better that stock ROMs, just to be clear
Regards,

Hi, I have searched the Rhodium forum and have found different stock roms, but not the rom that came on my device. I am seeking a stock Tmo rom 6.1 version 1.20.531.4 (51986) WWE with a radio of 3.46.25.18
I want to flash a new rom, but am not only within warranty, but also still withing my 30 day buyers remorse period. In the event that I return this device, I want to be able to flash its original rom.
If you have this rom build, or have seen this particular one on the forum, I'd appreciate your help. It wouldn't be such an issue except that the folks at my local Tmo know that I like to "play"...and in fact for years, they would call me with questions about the MDA (Wizard), and the Wing...so I am fairly sure they would know that I am jonesing to invalidate my warranty.
Again, I thank you for your help in finding this particular rom.
PS--I am still learning this device and what tools are needed...so unlike my Wizard where I just copied my original rom from my device, I am not yet sure how to do so with this one, nor am I feeling confident enough just yet.
Never mind...after a lot more searching, I found it on this thread--

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I didnt know if this would be considered more a general question or not.
I have the ATT stock rom on my tilt 2. I have hardspl-ed it to add the radio version 4.49.25.57. I want to try and flash maybe one of the official roms from HTC and a couple of the custom roms, But here is the question: Is there a way to save the att stock rom in the event I have to send this back, or if I wish to go back to the stock rom?
And while I'm asking a) Which htc official rom would be best from the tilt 2 on ATT, and which custom rom has the least issues with the most features?
Again if this is in the wrong forum, mods please move. Thanx again.

The AT&T radio is 4.48.25.20 which can be downloaded here (thanks to wpbear for the mirror).
There's only one official WWE HTC TP2 ROM on the HTC website. The one you have is the stock AT&T-customized WM6.5 ROM.
There are a few ROMs that come in mind: ark666's, NRGZ28's, agent_47's. There are more stable ROMs out there. NRG's ROMs are fully packed with features, but that could be considered "bloatware" for some. I'm liking agent_47's Valkyrie ROMs right now; it's a combination of a stock-ish feel, with the speed and tweaks (apps for tweaking also included) of a custom ROM.
I know I have the stock att rom. Where on HTC would I find that official rom, because if I have to return this phone back to att I would like it to be as close to what I got is as so this way they dont give me and grief.
And would the UK english work on the tilt 2 or would that cause problems, I find that the att stock rom is very buggy especially when it comes to the sms and mms and the app hanging or getting stuck.
Or would the official HTC rom be leaner and work with less bugs?

So the official WWE HTC ROM is here. If you need that, you will need a WWE serial number (you have an AT&T serial number, so just do a search here on XDA for a WWE serial number; a WWE serial number was posted numerous times here). Ah, what the heck, here's a serial number I found: HT95NLL00167
The official AT&T Stock ROM is here and here (not sure if they're the same; one might include boot screen and radio).
The WWE HTC ROM is still stock, and because there are no carrier modifications, it should be faster and more stable due to less bloatware on the ROM. In other words, I think any Touch Pro2/Rhodium/Tilt2 ROM is better than the carrier-modified ROMs we get with the phone.
Thanx sumflipnol, I saw there was the official rom and an update which I am going to see how it works, I also am going to DL those two stock roms. Thanx. Now to find a custom rom with the least problems that possibly has sense on it.
No problem.
Good luck! And hopefully, you wouldn't need to flash back to the stock AT&T ROM at all.
Quick question guys. Basically I want to go back to stock as best I can. I want it to pretty much look and feel like it did when it came out of the box. (though I'll keep clockworkmod and root on it).
Having some difficulty finding an official TouchWiz ROM...
I have the Australia t0lte model, bought through Optus. If there's one out there without all the Optus junk that would be even better, but doesn't matter all too much. A Vodafone version would be good as well.
So yeah, does anyone know where I can find one of these ROMs at all?
EDIT: ... Nevermind. Found it here: http://samfirmware.com/ just incase anyone else wants to find it.
Most of Sammy users know Sammobile
FYI this thread might helps you to flash the firmware
