Looking for a ROM

Hey guys was wondering about flashing my HTC Touch Diamond, But I want a decent ROM.
Something that's not too packed up full of junk, Easy to use and a better performance.
Also maybe a guide to unlocking/debranding this phone along with a flash guide if that's not too much?
cheers.

From one newbie to another, you should read the sticky posts... they are full guides and information about flashing your phone's ROM / Radio etc.
The forum 'Search' facility is your friend, it like's to be used. That's what I did and found all I needed to know about the available ROM's and Flashing process without having to ask a single question.

The New World ROM introduced a much-improved version of the Open Firmware interpreter, version 3.0, which added many missing features, fixed most of the bugs from earlier versions, and had the capability to run CHRP boot scripts. The Toolbox ROM was embedded inside a CHRP script in the System Folder called "Mac OS ROM", along with a short loader stub and a copy of the Happy Mac icon (in Mac OS X 10.2 and higher, this was replaced with a silhouette of the Apple logo on a blank gray screen) suitable for display from Open Firmware. Once the ROM was loaded from disk, the Mac boot sequence continued as usual. As before, Open Firmware could also run a binary boot loader, and version 3.0 added support for ELF objects as well as the XCOFF files versions 1.0.5 and 2.0 supported. Also, version 3.0 (as well as some of the last releases of version 2.x, starting with the PowerBook 3400) officially supported direct access to the Open Firmware command prompt from the console (by setting the auto-boot? variable to false from Mac OS, or by holding down Command-Option-O-F at boot).

[APP] TPT Helper

TPT Helper is designed for the ZTE phones. It helps you to easily repartition the phone and for the ZTE Blade, convert it to the Gen 2 memory layout to let you run the latest custom ROMs. ZTE phones supported so far are the ZTE Blade/Orange San Francisco, ZTE Skate/Orange Monte Carlo and the Orange San Francisco II/T-Mobile Vivacity.
Features:
*Download TPT files giving different partition layouts
*Download TPT files which will convert and install a ROM in one go
*Build your own TPT choosing partition size, recovery and splash image (in the given range)
*Start the TPT from inside the app on some roms, no need to use the hardware buttons manually
*Check the file is intact
*Unzip the TPT files to the correct location
*Verify that all the files you're about to flash are intact
*Clean up afterwards to avoid accidental flashes

it just checks the ram and reports gen1/2 so its not of much use.
a european blade flashed with a tpt having 256mb ram(chinese tpt) gets detected as gen 1 even if it is 2

It tries to detect which you have at the first start. If it doesn't detect correctly, it gives you the option to pick the correct results. Could you post the output from /proc/iomem please?

I think that must have been a different app. This one didn't check these things until the version I uploaded to the market last night.

Does creating a TPT with own sizes also work with a Gen1 phone (better said a TPT upgraded Gen1 to Gen2 phone)?

[Root / Recovery / ROM] ZTE N909 / N909D

I own a ZTE N909D. Because there is not much data available in the English forums I want to gather everything I found out in this one thread.
Basic specs
Screen size: 4.5"
Screen resolution: 854 x 480 pixel
Processor: Qualcomm MSM8625Q (Arm v7)
Original Android version: 4.1.2
N909: single SIM / N909D: dual SIM
Root
In the past I used vRoot, which nowadays is called iRoot - I did not find any correlation to the i-products so far There is also an apk-file available, thus, you do not need a PC for rooting. What I did not like is the Chinese superuser-app. That one can be replaced with whatever you like (don't forget to uninstall the Chinese afterwards).
Searching through the (Chinese) forums I came across a few recoveries, which are working on my D-version, although they were created for the single SIM variant:
Recoveries
CWM v6.5.0.1:
Language: Chinese
Original compilation by ???: I am sorry, I lost the original link. I only have the IMG-file (download link below).
TWRP v2.5.0.0:
Language: Chinese / English
Original compilation by Yang: http://www.gaojiquan.com/thread-9330-1-1.html. A German guy has it available for direct download: TWRP 2.5.0.0 for ZTE N909
I translated it back to English (download link below)
TWRP v2.8.4.0:
Language: Chinese / English
Original compilation by 99646P: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3559914472. It is a dual language version, where you can change to English within the recovery. My problem was that it started straight in Chinese, which made it difficult for me to find the setting for the language switch. Direct link to the download site: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hqGfoVy
I modified it to English / English for English start-up (download link below)
TWRP v3.0.0.0:
Language: Multilingual
Original compilation by 99646P: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4349805138. It is a multi language version, where you can change to English or some other languages within the recovery. My problem was that it started straight in Chinese, which made it difficult for me to find the setting for the language switch - no issue after that was done. Direct link to the download site: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hrhkLOK
Kernels
Original kernel from ZTE: http://support.zte.com.cn/support/news/NewsDetail.aspx?newsId=1005182
Original ZTE kernel patched up to version 3.4.113: https://github.com/xdatravelbug/android_kernel_zte_n909d
For the dual SIM variant I did not find any updated ROM newer than Android 4.1.2 until now. The single SIM version has several custom ROMs available.

to be added
Thanks to

I bricked ZTE N909. Can you help me to unbrick it? It can boot to stock recovery, but every time update fail and factory reset stuck at logo after restart? Do you know how to boot in fastboot or something else? Can you please upload stock restore files to try with it?

Not exactly sure what is failing during the update. But you can try the following:
* Install a custom recovery
* Download either the original update package from ZTE N909 Taiwan ROM or a custom ROM version
* Install that ROM
As you can boot into stock recovery, you can also try to clean/erase all partitions in there or you do it via TWRP. The usual way going to fastboot (with the phone switched off) is by pressing and holding power + volume up (or down). In fastboot mode connect your phone to USB and open a command prompt. If you only want to test the custom recovery use "fastboot boot <image.img>". If you want to directly flash the custom recovery use "fastboot flash recovery <image.img>"
Let me know if this information does not help.

Request cm11 rom or newer cm rom
Hi!please update the cm rom for n909 please please!Thank you so much.

I am working on it trying with Marshmallow for now, because to my knowledge that it the latest supported version for our old Qualcomm device. Pls be patient as I am not that experienced with compiling and just try it for fun

Quick update after a long time: I patched the original kernel v3.4.0 to v3.4.113. Trials are still ongoing if something screwed up doing that. Especial the bluetooth files caused some issues during the patches because ZTE uses different variable-names than Linux.

If anyone is running a ROM more recent than those mentioned here, please reply in this thread. Also, if you can mention the source from where you downloaded it, please also add that source in your reply, and I will update this post accordingly and give you credit for finding it
This post will be updated as and when new info becomes available. In this post you will find:

Obligatory Disclaimer: I have not tested any of the ROMs mentioned below (apart from B203 and B207 on the M2-802L) because I do not have the proper device models. Also note that even though they are available for download from the Huawei hicloud site, these ROMs have not (as far as I know) been actually formally released by Huawei.
M2-801L
Note: user @omaga reports that B202 seems to contain a newer kernel and security patch than B205.
B205: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p4/s10/G506/g0/v57899/f2/full/M2-801LC100B205.zip
Thanks to user [MENTION]Caelestiel[/MENTION] for mentioning that B205 existed for M2-801L so that I could search for it - a valid download link for it was not present in my previous search.

B213: XDA user @ruggles says in a thread replythat the B213 zip posted here worked for him. But please note that this B213 download is NOT from an official Huawei server.
M2-802L
Note: My M2-802L just got an official OTA update from Huawei to B203 (I had restored my old B005 ROM from TWRP). This OTA update does have the Huawei Swype IME keyboard, though (I had lost Swype when I flashed B207 over B005). However, the kernel and security patch version in this B203 OTA update are older than the one on B207. Also, both B203 as well as B207 ( after following the update path B005 -> B203 OTA -> B207) seem to have the "3G/4G icon is always on" problem. See below.
B203: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p4/s10/G506/g0/v65143/f1/full/M2-802LC209B203.zip

B207 Text link:

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p4/s10/G506/g0/v67917/f1/full/update.zip
3G/4G icon always on: I've confirmed that this is due to B203; the upgrade path B005->B207 does not have this issue. B005->B203, B005->B203->B207 and B005->B207->B203 all have the issue. While it appears to be alarming, no data seems to actually be going through the mobile data if Wifi is on ("Settings"->"About Tablet"->"Status" shows mobile data as disconnected); so it seems to be just be an indicator the current mobile data speeds.
Also note that flashing B207 over B203 will remove the Swype IME.

Sorry, M2 10.0 owners, I do not know what is the proper ROM numbering for the M2 10.0 Android 6.0 Marshmallow ROMs - I have found ROM B030 for the M2-A01L and ROM B020 for the M2-A01W, maybe some M2 10.0 owners can tell me if these are Marshmallow ROMs...? If anyone can confirm that the above-linked B0XX ROMs for the A01L and A01W are Marshmallow, I will update the thread accordingly.
Installation Instructions:
If you are currently rooted and/or have a custom recovery installed, you will need to go back to the Huawei official recovery to install this update. You can do this by following the instructions in my previous post here.
Download the appropriate ROM update zip from one of the above links.
Note: If you are using one of the wifi-only models - specifically the M2-801W, user @elendiir reported that you should skip this step. See post #63 in this thread. Thanks, Elendiir! Extract the contents of the zip file in the link after it has finished downloading. The contents should be something like this:
Code:
[update.zip contains]
├── META-INF
│** ├── blacklist.conf
│** ├── CERT.RSA
│** ├── CERT.SF
│** ├── com
│** │** ├── android
│** │** │** └── otacert
│** │** └── google
│** │** └── android
│** │** ├── update-binary
│** │** └── updater-script
│** └── MANIFEST.MF
└── UPDATE.APP
5 directories, 8 files
Create a folder called dload on your SD Card. You can create it on either the internal or the external SD, it doesn't matter.
Copy the entire contents of the unzipped download package into the dload folder on your SD Card, which you created above. Alternatively, you could just unzip the contents directly into the dload directory on your external/internal SD card.
Go to your phone's "Settings". There, navigate to "Updater"->"Menu"->"Local Update", select the displayed option, and allow it to install. Your phone will boot into the original OEM recovery and install the ROM, after which it should (hopefully) boot into the new ROM.
It should then connect to the Google Play Store and update the Google framework. All your settings, apps etc should still be preserved - mine were.
Local updates on Marshmallow ROMs
In the Huawei Marshmallow (Mm) ROMs, the updater app does not have the "Local Update" option anymore. So how do you do an update from the SD Card (say you want to install a different Mm ROM)?
Here's how to do local updates on Huawei Mm ROMs. I used the dialer method. If you are on one of the Wifi-only models, XDA user @elendiir has this method for performing a Local Update on Marshmallow (where the updater app does not have the "Local Update" option), especially on the Wifi-only models which don't come with a dialler app. Thanks, Elendiir!
elendiir said:
Maybe you should extent the description how to flash roms via the local update in Marshmallow for the Wifi-only models:
Tested on my M2-801-W:
Start the included calculator app
switch to landscape mode in order to enable the more advanced input mode (you will need this in order to enter the "()" as described in the next step)
enter the follwoing string: ()()2846579()() and press the = sign
you should now have entered the project menu
select number 4 for software upgrade and then sdcard upgrade
If you're on a Wifi-only model and the instructions above don't work for you, then you may need to use the HwOUC app method detailed in the link above.
Not sure if this also works on the models with SIM card - but there you can enter mostly the same sting via the dialer app: *#*#2846579#*#* as you have already described.
Cheers

Rooting/Unrooting instructions using phhusson's Superuser:
Rooting:
First install TWRP as your recovery. If in doubt, use the excellent Huawei Mediapad M2 rooting guide found on these forums.
Then grab the latest superuser.zip (from phhusson's Superuser project which is an actively-maintained fork of Koush's open-source Superuser project), and install it via the TWRP recovery.
Finally, get the "phh superuser" app from the Google Play store.
At this point, you should be successfully rooted. To check, you can install an app which requests root permissions (maybe a terminal app like Termux, firewall app like AFWall+, or file manager like MiXplorer), run it, and see if the root permission app dialog comes up and if the app successfully gets root after you give it the permission in the dialog.
Unrooting:
For this, you need to fastboot flash the BOOT.img from your ROM. This will involve you extracting the BOOT.img from the UPDATE.app of the ROM you flashed.
Make sure that you have ADB and FASTBOOT installed on your computer. You can use the 15-second ADB installer available here on XDA.
Uninstall the "PHH Superuser" app on your device using the app manager or the Google Play Store.
Unzip the ROM's zip file. If you're on Windows, you can use the excellent 7-zip tool for this. On Linux, you can just use the unzip command. After unzipping, you should have an UPDATE.APP file. This is the full ROM update image which we will use.
Extract BOOT.img from your ROM's UPDATE.APP using the Huawei Update Extractor tool (make sure to use the "Huawei Mediapad M2 (M2-802L)" profile in the Huawei Update Extractor tool) and save it somewhere on your computer's hard disk.
Boot your phone into the bootloader - this is called "fastboot mode".
If you have ADB enabled, you can use the following command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
If you don't have ADB set up, you can use the hardware keys method to enter the bootloader - first shut down the phone, and then press POWER+VOLDN simultaneously.
Of the two methods, I'd recommend the ADB method because it works every time (using the hardware keys method I had mixed success; sometimes it would boot into the bootloader and sometimes it would boot into the normal ROM.
With the USB cable connected to your phone, open up a command prompt in the directory where you extracted BOOT.img, and run the following fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
Reboot your computer:
Code:
fastboot reboot
And that's it, you should now be unrooted.
DPI/LCD Density Change:
If you're rooted, you can change the DPI/LCD density. If you're going to attempt this, I'd suggest making a TWRP backup first just in case your phone does not boot after changing the DPI/LCD density.
A big Thanks to [MENTION]Eagle-no1[/MENTION] for testing that a DPI/LCD Density Change to 380 and also 360 works without issues for him. The full thread is here.
To do this manually, you will find the DPI settings in /system/build.prop with these original values:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=480
hw.lcd_density=480
Simply change the above so that it looks like this:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=360
hw.lcd_density=360
and then reboot your device, and you should be good to go.
Have fun!
Issues/Problems Noticed
XDA user @guille3073 has noticed a problem with the M2-802L and 5GHz WiFi Networks set to "AC-Only" mode, and I have verified the issue. Please see this post and the one before it. The solution is to change your 5GHz WiFi band to be in "Mixed" mode or "N-Only" mode. Thanks, guille3073! If anyone else notices this issue on a different device model than the 802L, please mention it in the comments to it can be added here. Update: User @lepidas reports the same issue on the 801L as well.
Instructions to recover from a bad ROM install/softbrick/bootloop:
First, make sure that you have known good official Huawei ROM for your particular device model. Then, follow the instructions (replace all references to the ROM version with the correct ROM for your device) in this post. Note: The detailed guide for extracting and flashing specific partitions from Huawei ROMs is here. Wish you good luck in your unbricking efforts.

A big big shoutout to Team MT and XDA user [MENTION]gmanrainy[/MENTION] for the Huawei Firmware Finder tool available here on XDA - I wish I had known about this earlier when I was manually searching the Huawei servers for ROMs :silly:

Excellent thread, great work beast.in.black! that firmware tool is a great find

It might not be a full update - for example, on my 802L, B003 was a full update, but B005 was an OTA partial update and not a full system image update.

Isn't it just! I found it by accident on Google when I was trying to search for Marshmallow ROMs for our devices. I was like"Oh yeah, these guys are awesome!"
Big thumbs :good: up to Team MT for the work on the Firmware Finder tool!

Did you try pressing the build number about 8 times in quick succession? Which ROM version are you using?
You will find the build number in "settings" -> "About tablet". Just press on the actual build number (the stuff that says "M2-801Lblabla") about 7 or 8 times quickly, and it should show a message saying that you are a developer.

I had the B205 firmware in my M2-801L, now i downloaded/and installed the B202 version and its seems to be a newer firmware version. B205 kernel is dated Jul 28 2016 and the android security patch is dated 1 july 2016, baseband is 21.600.23.00.010.
Now with the B202 firmware the kernel is dated Mon 7 Nov 2016 and the android security patch is dated 1 oct 2016, baseband 21.600.27.00.010

Oh I see! OK. It's very peculiar that you haven't got the developer access on the stock B008 ROM. Could you please post a pic of your phone's "Settings" main menu screen, the bottom section whereyou see the "About Tablet" and "Updater" settings menu items?

No OEM locking choice in B202 version, now i downgrade back B008 version and look there.
-------------------------
Edit:
B008 version included OEM lock open option. Android is 5.1.1

Yes but how do I install android 6.0

The ROMs in my original post are Android 6.0, and the installation instructions should be common across phones.
Also, if you successfully installed B202, you already had Android 6.0 on your phone
You need the developer options so that you can unlock your bootloader and phone so that you can root the phone. Rooting the phone is separate from installing Android 6.0 on it - they are two separate things :cyclops:
EDIT: BTW, I apologize if the above sounds patronizing - it wasn't meant to be. I see that you have 400+ posts so you are experienced here. Maybe I didn't understand your question...?

I can install android 6, version B202 or B205, but there are no OEM Unclock options and I do not get done as rooting.
Only B008 is OEM Unlock choice.
Yes I am already a very old man (64Years) and I do not understand everything because I am Finnish and I use the Google translator.

Awesome! Now your bootloader and phone must be unlocked. This is good, because now we can root your Android 6.0 ROM too
So next steps for you:
Now you have to replace TWRP with stock recovery (need to put back the stock recovery otherwise you cannot install the Android 6 update). For this, you can flash the original RECOVERY.img from your B008 ROM. The recovery.img needs to be flashed using fastboot mode. You can extract the RECOVERY.img from B008 using the Huawei update extractor (use the "Huawei Mediapad M2 (M2-802L)" profile in the Update Extractor tool). If you have problems, let me know and I can help you with this.
Then install the Android 6 ROM
Then reinstall TWRP, and re-root the Android 6 ROM
Unfortunately all the above steps are necessary because once you flash the new Android 6 ROM, you lose root (you need to unroot the previous ROM, and also restore recovery back to original Huawei recovery).

[RECOVERY] M10 Generic, Lifestyle EU, Lifestyle CN TWRP Recovery Collection

Ok guys everyone has those problems like this so i decided to make a topic for this.
M10 has 3 different variants. So i decided to share correct recoveries for who have problems.
* M10 Generic.
Link : https://www.mediafire.com/?129g74h488m93gj
* M10 Lifestyle EU. (also known as Indian edition)(I dont remember cid and product id for this model. I was using for my M10 which I bought from Poland phone store. PS not suitable for EU operator devices. They are m10 generic. Not lifestyle.)
Link : https://www.mediafire.com/?e4jde0af1n9surr
* M10 Lifestyle CN. (also known as Asian edition) (Perfume, htc_pmec2tuhl, Espıcally for CID HTCCN701)
Link : http://www.mediafire.com/file/g9wb4e0eoh0qu5j/lifestyleCN.img
For people who doesnt know how to flash :
1) Unlock bootloader via HTC Dev method.
2) Connect phone via bootloader mode.
3) Open adb write following commands:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_file_name.img (Ex : fastboot flash recovery lifestyleCN.img)
4) If you want to open phone in recovery mode use menu from bootloader with your phone.
That's all voila !

Hi, Thank you for sharing this!
But this is completely in Chinese language. Do you have link for English one? I need it for M10 Lifestyle ( htc_pmec2tuhl )
EDIT::
Found how to get English.
1. You need to tap on: 设置 (Settings)
2. In settings menu, tap on last icon on top of page ( World icon )and change to English.

Thanks a lot for this post. I've been struggling for days to get recovery working on my Chinese HTC 10. After reading your post downloaded the correct recovery image, et voila!!
One question remains, after recovery is working, I can flash any rom, or also there I should be careful which one to flash? I tried Leedroid_10 V3.9.0 but it keeps rebooting into bootloader... Any idea how to fix, or what I do wrong? I have not rooted yet, and S-on.
Thanks
Robin.

Fine to have a working recovery but that's it basically for this HTC10 forum. Non of these roms here work on any lifestyle HTC10.
