Upgrading an official ROM question - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi there all im new around here.. kinda new with the PDA phones also Diamond is my first one so.. sorry but i have just 1 question..
I read the tutorials mostly ... i know i gotta upgrade first a Hard SPL if i want to be able to install a custom ROM afterwards..
I want just to upgrade my ROM with the Official one from HTC site the latest one.. and i dunno.. do i need to upgrade the HardSPL in order to upgrade with the official ROM ??
And if yes.. what version of Hard SPL do i need to upgrade to first ? if i upgrade with Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex SIGNED will the latest Official ROM work fine ?
Thanks a lot

Hi when i wanted to upgrade to new stockrom i couldĀ“t do it without hardspl
im using 1.24 it works like a charm..

When upgrading a manufacturer ROM to a newer release of the SAME manufacturers ROM, you don't need HardSPL.

My phone is danish now, Can i change it to english via official rom?
how can i get the rom from htc web site?
Thanks

namida85:
most likely english will not install on your device. to make it happen, you need to install OliNex HardSPL first.
this will enable you to flash any rom afterwards.
where to get rom? just use search engine on this site or internet, you will find what you are looking for.

Yes, if you want to flash different ROM (even official, like FR to WWE) you need HardSPL.

If you only flash OS, no problem. If you have hard-spl installed your device will be almost unbrickable.

can you explain me what hard-spl is ?
My question here is, will original ROM restore the splashscreen and initial bootscreen that was changed by LVSW?
So many questions

You can usually restore an old ROM even without Hard-SPL. It makes it a little easier because you can flash even ROMs that are not intended for your device (for example HTC Rom to Vodafone Compact GPS).
can you explain me what hard-spl is ?

Sure. It is a replacement bootloader made by DES and later by Olipro. You'll find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1239088
LVSW offers it as a download as well, I don't know why he didn't include it in the update itself (nbh).

Yes, original ROM updates are what I call full updates: Bootloader, Splashscreens, OS, Radio. However they will only overwrite Olipro's Hard-SPL if you use Soft-SPL (sspl) for flashing. Keep that in mind if you want to send your device in for warranty repairs...
Enough noob questions answered For details use search, its not hard.
OK OK one more thing...
If I flash from mun_rus rom back to WM05 and take device for warranty... thay will not accept it?
If you flash it properly (load SSPL first, then run official update) they will have no way of telling the difference.
Obviously this only works if you have access to the official full update.

If your phone is the S300+ (SFR version of Trinity) it's gonna be hard. No SFR ROM is available yet. So you can find the OS part over here and you can save your extended ROM, but it seems to be hard to restore exactly as the same.
I`m just asking out of couriosity...

Hello,
I have Ax3l, which is one of the most stable...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312499
It's one of the most stable Rom I ever had... I tried all of them... They hav all their spaciality but Ax3l is simple and has only the most important things in it. All the rest can added seperatly.
This rom works with all software you can download.
Have a good day

When you're done flashing the official stock Rom, you'll need to flash the stock SPL for warrenty reason. Search the forums its in here somewhere.
If its a 1.93 version Rom your installing, then you'll need the 1.93 SPL
Happy flashing

which rom update to get? current version 1.37.707.1 WWE

hi guys
as you can see im a total noob to the forums and to updating ROMs on the diamond
my htc diamond is running rom version
version: 1.37.707.1 WWE
date: 06/10/08
radio version: 1.00.25.03
protocol version: 52.26a.25.09H
i find that phone lags a bit and slows down especially when im unlocking with my password.
it also lags a bit when im activating the keyboard to write a sms..
so i guess i was hoping somebody could guide me in the right direction to get the latest rom update, and how do i do it.
i can see there are some custom roms around...so i have no idea whats the best way to proceed..
ive tried to download the latest rom update from the HTC site but it says that my device is not supported?
i dunno, cause i entered in the serial number located under the battery...
so im hoping somebody here can help me out..
thanks!
subs.
More info...
What's your diamond model number? It's under the battery.
You should look into HardSPL and then check out the official ROM's and Cooked ROM's and make a decision on which one you want to flash your phone with. Read the forum's and how-to's for more info...but first you should work out what version of the diamond you have before you go looking for ROM's...also, always HardSPL before you flash!
Good luck.
under the battery it says
HTC P3700 DIAM100
is that what you are referring to?
hi you really need to read this first and then read it again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 or you could brick your phone

yeah, ive been reading that and im slowly starting to understand what i have to do...
i would like to do this rom update on my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423418
so from what i understand i first have to install a unsigned hardspl, any recommendations on which version i should use?
1.23
1.24 or
1.34 ?
i was going to use 1.24 only because i saw somebody post saying they used it and had no problems, but if i should use one of the other ones because it will work better then please let me know.
after doing the hardspl install i was going to backup all my contacts and then do the rom update.
am i missing any steps?
do i have to do a radio update before a rom update?
I use HardSPL 1.40 and had no problems so far so I havent updated it to 1.93.
I would recommend one of the new roms 2.03 (official or cooked, it depends on what you'd like ).

Install hardspl 1.40 or 1.93 (I use 1.93, but didn't have problems in the short time I used 1.40) hardspl and then install any rom you like. Just try to read as much as you can because chances are, any question you have, someone else has had it and it's on the board for you to read.
ok cool, i will install hardspl 1.40 and then that rom i mentioned
at the moment i dont have any questions, i will follow that thread that explains how to update roms and hope for the best
1 last question, i did do a search but didnt really find any definite answers...
if i brick my phone *touch wood i dont*
will it be difficult to unbrick it?

if you brick your phone, the only option left is to claim warranty.
And i believe the only step that could possibly brick your phone is flashing HardSPL, right guys?
I was in the same state of anxiety when I did my first ROM flashing. Thankfully it all went smoothly.
My 2 cents :
1, Think about what you are gaining by a ROM upgrade. If your phone is working well out of the box and your routine functions are satisfied, you are well off with you stock ROM. I flashed a couple of ROMs and now I am with my stock and I am perfectly fine.
2, Read this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 and this -> http://www.modmydiamond.info/ And if you understand every single letter of it only proceed.
Happy flashing
i have a diam100. can i flash it to a WWE dutty rom?
thanks for all the help guys, but i decided to flash my htc with the original rom from the htc site.
for the moment it runs like a dream and has fixed all my lag issues.
so im gonna stick with that....for the moment
It's important that you feel comfortable crossing over......but I have to say, when you decide to cross, it's an exhilarating feeling to know that you can select what ever Rom from, what I think are, top notch chiefs here but also the fun continues by selecting which ever Radio.
Many post on here that say, "I bricked my phone," truly didn't brick anything. They just hit a wall so they panic. Hard SPL really does a good job. So the chances of your bricking this device is not as high as some people think..

Let s try this Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411707
Its very very stable and saving battery.
Will have one for you in about an hour mate, if my WiFi doesn't cut out again!
Ok, here's:
_HTC Touch Diamond_MRII_RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_2.03.401.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship
It's the latest HTC stock rom. It's in WWE Language, downloaded from HTC website, and I've edited the .nbh file with NBHUtil so it will flash to your device. Also, only the OS is included in this .nbh, so it won't change your radio version, SPL or Splash screen. I recommend flashing from Internal Storage. It's the fastest and safest way. If you're unsure how, search the forum. You'll find a guide on how to do this. And remember to hard reset when it says Update Successful!
