Hi need some expert help please.
Trying to update my Diamond and first i updated Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex 1.40 i think it says.
Then i updated with: RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.37.871.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship.exe
So everythings seems fine and its installing all the programs and so...
BUT the touch screen is not working very good, its like freezing up all the time and some time is just hanging so i haft to boot the device. But when its not possible to use the touch function the "button" is working. Hope u understand what i mean? Somebody know what to do?
Im all new with this kind of stuff pleae help me!
Best regards Micke
y dont u d/l e 1.93 cook rom it more faster... but need to use unsigned SPL
The Signed HardSPL only allowed you to flash ROMs that have been signed by Olipro and listed in his thread in the sticky
OK.. like i sayed im new. So where do i get a cooked ROM and where a Unsign SPL ?
And does anybody know if there is a Swedish ROM out?
Thanks alot!
This one is unsigned SPL (Hard-SPL - Developer Edition)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
harky please read before you post... 1.40 is unsigned hard-SPL..
if you're having trouble with device after flashing, try a couple things:
1) hard reset
2) if it still doesn't work, reflash that ROM or another
3) still giving you problems, then i think you should try one of the other Hard-SPLs (look for the one that is from your original SPL version)
he is asking for unsigned one also (i nv see wrong @ his post)
read again.. he already has 1.40 olinex (which is unsigned)
Hi everyone!
Here's the deal! I'm no noob to flashing, cooking and HardSPL as I'm positive there are plenty of users who are swimming in the same pool.
Moving from another device's forum (Trinity) to the Diamond forum is quite a shock. So many posts, so many threads.
There are so many HardSPLs. OK, no problem! But what I DO miss is a tutorial thread with nice and clear descriptions stating for instance "You will need this HardSPL for this ROM", ""You will need this HardSPL for Official ROM", "You don't need any HardSPL for Official ROM", etc.
For instance:
I'm running an old version of Radio and Official Diamond ROM (Stock), 1.00.25.03 Radio and 1.37.479.3 WWE ROM.
Bootloader version is:
Code:
DIAM100 64M
SPL-1.37.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
I'd like to first upgrade to another Official ROM, like RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1.
No info on following:
- changing an original to another original ROM: is there need for HardSPL?
- changing a supposed EU original to an Asia original ROM: is there need for HardSPL?
- if there is need for it when upgradin ROM, which one to choose based on bootloader info?
- if there is need for it when upgradin Radio, which one to choose based on bootloader info?
etc.
I can live with my new device with stock ROM, I can tweak it, no problem.
But it is my strong belief that a detailed tutorial/description/info/guide thread could get a nice sticky.
Something that would make new users like:
"Oh, I just bought a Diamond, I read this sticky, compared my bootloader info with the ones stated in the thread, checked my ROM and Radio, checked my new ROM and Radio which I want to flash, so I need this/I don't need any HardSPL and it worked"
Yes, call it spoon-feeding, but while looking at the Forums and reading and searching, there's so much clutter some can't even find the Search button!
My two cents!
I totally agree !!! We are needing that "tutorial for dummies"
Im new to the Diamond forum too, had a tytn for ages though.
I found everything i needed to know on the wiki

Yes, but still, is there any need for HardSPL when flashing to another Official HTC ROM? And is there any need for HardSPL when flashing to another issuer of the Official HTC ROM (from EU to Asia HK)?

You don't need HardSPL to flash an official ROM. If you want to be really sure then simply go to the HTC site (I used HTC Europe), register as a user, input your phone's serial number and it should tell you that you can download the 1.93 ROM. This way you can do a 100% official upgrade before deciding if you want to use a cooked ROM.

I know that, remember, I'm not a n00b.
First, I have no updates in my registered Diamond e-Club account.

You need hardspl on every one, and all are offcial roms as they were downloaded
only the rom you can download from your own HTC e-club site dont need hardspl.

Contradictory information?
Now since I don't have any updates in my own e-Club, there's the HardSPL option with other (even Official) ROMs.
Question is: which one? (1.23, 1.24, 1.34, Developer edition, Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex, HardSPL_OliNex138_Signed or RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition).
This is crazy!
Maybe that's the difference then - perhaps ROM downloads via the e-club are treated differently, although I can't think how.
Seems that Cmonex and Olipro are the SPL experts here (I'm sure you've already seen this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402) so maybe they're the best ones to help.
If it helps I updated to HardSLP 1.4 and ran quite happily on my stock ROM before upgrading to Dutty's ROM. I guess it's down to how adventurous/risky you want to be.
Good luck.
1. look at the next posts, i blew it on this answer..
i like my diamond with hardspl and unlocked (using the developers, unsigned hardspl). i advice you to do the same. this covers all, signed, unsigned and official ROMs.
here, an answer from THE expert:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2484533&postcount=143
2. if i convinced you to hardspl then go to the unsigned version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950.
i am using it from the beginning (2 month at least) and i flashed my diamond 4 times without any problem at all.

already there, in almost each ROM thread.
i think all cooks start their thread with the warning (hardspl first!) and a link to the recommended hardspl.
bepe is "all signed" so he never mention which hardspl.

i wonder what happened to you.... learn from post #3!! you are a ROM cook...you are the "uber" user! we should ask you questions
I know you say if you flash an official (uncooked) ROM to your handset then you don't need SPL however I have a Vodafone branded Diamond which won't allow you to flash a non Vodafone branded ROM so I am ssuming that you still need to use SPL to go to an unbranded ROM even if it is generic HTC.

i think you are right. never thought at this scenario.....
usually i don't buy my pda branded. no plan, no 3 years, free as a bird!
thanks for bringing it to my attention.
yeah, hard-spl to allow you to flash ROMs from other regions..
technically you shouldn't need it to 'protect' your device since its an official ROM upgrade, but then again you're trying to flash an upgrade that's not from your region so not too sure how that affects your warranty.. i would stick with hard-spl no matter what.
Although you may experience better results with certain ROMs using a certain SPL (this hasn't been clearly shown on the diamond to my knowledge) seems like the SPL is more tied to your hardware (why certain people get screen flicker and fuzzy fonts after flashing.. wrong SPL). so it stands to reason if your hardware doesn't change, you *shouldn't* have to change your SPL just cause you're flashing a new ROM

1. you don't need hardspl when you want to flash an official ROM.
if you should need one then HTC should release it with the ROM. no such thing!
HTC release official ROM "like it is" for all ppl even for the ones that never heard of hardspl. simple logic.
if you buy it branded look at the next two posts!

I have experince now with 3 HTC devices: 1. i had Trinity with wwe rom when i bought it-> try to put it to my language (Finnish ROM) didnt work, used hardspl-> it worked
2. Polaris with wwe 6.0 rom, tried to update to the latest wm6.0 rom which was a rom from Singapore, no succes-> put hardspl in device->it worked
3. In my Diamond i put hardspl right away(after 2 hour use), so that one i didnt test at all, based on my previous experience I didnt even try to flash the official 1.93 rom witout hardspl
So at least my concution is that u must have hardspl even when you want to flash a official rom from another region. Dont offcourse no if that is a fact, just what i have experience
[/QUOTE]So at least my concution is that u must have hardspl even when you want to flash a official rom from another region. Dont offcourse no if that is a fact, just what i have experience[/QUOTE]
From my experience from the diamond, you have to flash hardspl onto your handset before you can use 'other region' roms even when it is 'official'.
I have a HK WWE handset and tried to flash my rom with the first upgrade rom from SEA, and it wouldnt flash. it would say my handset is not from the correct region.
i flashed a hard spl afterwards and it worked.
So from pak1234 experience we can make some conclusion? its the same experience I got with Polaris and Trinity

Hi,
As a total recent Noob (TRN), I spent about 2 working days trying to find out where to start. In particular, the definition of HardSPL, ROM and Radio.
It was very difficult to ramp up to speed. you guys rock, seriously, but your community can thrive if you lower the gate a bit. Think about all the time you'll save in the long run by giving noobs somewhere to start. 'There are no stupid questions, only arrogant responses'. -- I read that somewhere here.
For anyone who enjoys noob-razing, come visit me and I'll stick you in with my horses. Get some payback.
A Where-To-Start sticky would help enormously.
peace.
PS - Eventually I found www.modmydiamond.info and started reading. I nearly cried when my Swiss language-locked Diamond started talking in good auld English.

congrats on yr first successfull step (english language on yr swiss locked diamond)! perseverance and good reading skills pay back.
welcome to our forum!
from yr post i can understand that you started as an intelligent user/member of this forum (as opposed to noob) by using this forum accordingly with it's rules.
there are stupid questions. if one of the next is called by somebody "arrogant response" then he'll have to adjust or just grow elephant skin (i can name a few that already did):
1. "search, this was already posted". (most used)
2. "read the manual." (almost an insult)
3. "read wiki." (friendly, useful advice)
4. "most of the polls are useless." (no comment necessary)
5. "comparisons between any other ppc and diamond does not belong here, this a diamond only forum." (sadly not enough enforced)
a noob is not somebody with a low count of posts. a noob is somebody with a noobish attitude (total disregard of the forum's rules and it's members, wanting everything now, ready, chewed and put in his mouth).
respect the forum and it's members and you'll get respect and help beyond yr wildest dreams.
yr PS only confirm all from the above.
i prefer not to comment yr horses-payback threat
noob here
Hello all, noob here, just got my diamond via vodafone NL.
The device is sim locked contrary to what the agreement with was.
The current rom running on it makes this device incredibly slow, my brother has an p3300 which works way faster than my diamond (but does not look so nice).
This made me start looking for a solution. I've been reading this site for three full days and I'm still very confused, everything and it's contrary is written here, how is one supposed to draw a conclusion?
With that said I would like to see a well written tutorial in plain english and that does not assume the reader is a techie.
It should explain:
- How to backup the original ROM and hardSPL
- How to flash a new rom and avoid issues with screen flickering and so on
- How to restore the original ROM and hardSPL in case the device needs to be send back for repair
- Clarify what to do with radio roms
- How to unlock a device to be used with any sim card (ok this already exists, i've seen the sticky)
Thanks
One more question to be added
- Why would you need a CID and security unlocker?
I thought it was just another name for sim card lock but apparently not.

Hey guys.
Second time I have went with a cooked/modded ROM on a TouchDiamond.
The update process has been 100% sucessful each time.
But now I am trying to get back to the original Telstra ROM - Telstra_WWE_1.38.841.5 on the Asia HTC eClub website. This is also the original ROM on the unit when it shipped.
Using the guide located at:
http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=26
I installed Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex SIGNED – Once this was installed I was under the impression somehow it would allow me to go back to Original ROM if needed. As I though the Hard-SPL was a backup before messing with ROM.
I was then using Elite 3.0 – But need to get the unit back to the Original ROM before it is sent away for work use.
I am trying to run the Telstra ROM RUU Installer but receive an ERROR 262 - This occurs when the unit still show 0%.
Any ideas on what I can do.
Also – thank you, as your help and time is much appreciated

Hi, install the unsigned hard spl developer edition then install that stock rom.
hi sumitescp,
is the SPL 1.93 unsigned referred to as unsigned hardspl developer edition?
You'll either need to get the ROM signed for HardSPL, or use the unsigned HardSPL.

I believe that with the term "unsigned hardspl developer edition" we reffer to the unsigned olinex 1.40 hardspl.
It is the first attachment in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
That is the recommended one.
But I think 1.93 unsigned SPL would work too, but first try the recommended one.
First Install the ROM, and then downgrade the SPL. (Is this for warranty return?)

Use Unsigned SPL ., Flash the ROM
Yes for warranty return
Do you have a copy of the Telstra 1.38 SPL? I didnt think the Original reloads back the SPL?
This isn't actually for a warrenty return. I have had the phone for 2 weeks and been reading quite a bit about it on here - and thought i'd give the Elite v3.0 a go -
Love the speed imporvement of it - The unit just responds so much quicker. But i have then realisied i need the telstra MyPlace apps - My Account, Sensis, Foxtel etc..
So am deciding to go back to the original ROM.
Anyways - So i can re run the Hard SPL installer with an unsigned HardSPL installer and it will over right the exisiting one?
Then this will allow me to install the original ROM from the HTC Site? Is this correct.
In the above guide (as i mentioned the the first post) they reccomend:
"Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex Developer Edition-unsigned" as the HardSPL Unsigned tool to use.
From there i have the choice of 3 HardSPL installers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip (1.92 MB)
HardSPL_Olinex137_Unsigned.zip (137.4 KB)
RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition.zip (136.6 KB)
Which one do you reccomend?
Once again - thanks for all your support on this issue. I very much appriciate it and your time.
Brett
RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition
is what I am using on the telstra diamond.
The others left me with some flickering in TF3D
I installed this one over the Signed Hard SPL without any issues.
Hey guys.
Installed the Unsigned HardSPL and then was aloud to install the Original Telstra Rom v1.38...... hate it - but o well. I'll live.
Thanks once again for your help and time
