Touch Diamond SPL downgrade/WST - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi Guys,
First of all I would like to say what a great site XDA Developer is. I have spent some time reading threads and not found any answers to my questions (that doesn’t mean they aren’t out there!) so I am sorry if my noobee questions are a bit stupid…..
I have a UK Vodafone Touch Diamond, SPL 1.90 I am ultimately trying to get to the point where I can use the WST 4.2.2 available on this site.
From reading the many threads I believe that it is possible to do this by downgrading The SPL to 1.11? as a trial I was trying to use the HARD SPL downgrade to 1.4 but I cant seem to get this to work using Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex. I have to use the SSPL transferred to the device and it comes up with the error 244… invalid model ID.
I have read the following links for info but there doesn’t seem to be anything specific for the touch diamond….

So, my questions are,
-Will I be able to use the Wizard Service Tool with my Touch Diamond?
-can I downgrade to SPL 1.11? if so how? Or point me to the thread I have missed please.
-is there another WST out there that I can use?
If you need more info from me please message.
Many thanks in advance for all your help guys,

Mestrini's WST won't work on the Diamond.

ok thanks, is there anything else out there with the same functionality? for touch diamond?

Update Vario 2 questions

Hi all
I read a few bits on updating the vario 2 to windows mobile 6 Black 3.0.01 is that right ?
Can someone tell me more about what this actually is, I also read the tutorials on about upgrading the.
IPL and the SPL what are these and what is version 2.10 olipro also and the last thing is what does it mean when it talks about CID and not reading it. What effect does this have ???
I know the T Mobile bundled stuff is no use so what functionality will I have with this Black 3.0.1 and is that the best version for me to use or do you recommed a different version ???
Help Please I dont want to brick it.
Ska
if i were you i'd ask here in the forum for the device where people who own the same device are more likely to read and answer

WM6 in Australia on Optus Help please.

hey all,
First post so bare with me if little vague.
Will the LVSW_Trinity_WM6_v2.0.1.1 work in Aust with Optus or will i have to configure manually?
Also does that rom include GPS?
IF so is it just a simple plug in D810 run active sync and then run a .exe?
Also does the D810 have a radio? i have seen speculation that it does, but haven't been able to confirm.
thanks for your help.
Cheers
Hey Dan,
feel free to ask questions ass you need on the forums, but best form is to read first - do some searches and if you can't find the info you're looking for ask ask ask Your phone will work on your network with this ROM. The ROM does include GPS. Radio - unsure about this - but the radio wouldn't be supported by this ROM - and if you haven't got radio functionality already - probably not.
It would be a good idea for your first ROM upgrade to try an official DOPOD ROM Find ROMS here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_Upgrades Get an Activesync connection then run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe in the extracted ROM file. For cooked ROMS (They don't have the same CID as your phone) you need a CID unlocker. You can either run a temporary fix to hide you CID before flashing - or do it permanently (Safer).
Have a good read around the forum - but once you get going you won't regret your adventure.

OK - which RADIO do you have? - this is not clear.
You should try - Hard reset - install tomtom6.03 start up tomtom - sometimes for say 30s tomtom can say no GPS device - before the message changes to waiting for a valid GPS signal. Be patient.
Also search for "no GPS Trinity" here: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
you should find others with the same experience as you!
Good luck.
hi,
i have read in this forum, that any Radio ROM ending in 1 have GPS enable, so you must wait a litle time (1-2minutes) before your GPS program fix the GPS signal.
i installed it with trinity info guide and used this radio version 1.46.00.11. but my device information show radio version to be 1.16.00.00 and ROM version 2.0.8.2. should i flash it with another radion 1.46.00.11 GPS available on this forum? Pl help. sorry for double post, i was really confused where to put it and was really desperate for my GPS. i will be careful next time. thanks for your reply. i am trying other options

hey! We have exactly same problem! the radio also show 1.16.00.00 on mine!
Upgrade your radio then it should work! had a friend who had also a very old version. He got's it fixed with upgrade!
i have already replied you in the other thread where you posted this issue.. there's no need to double post this. I've posted the link to hard-spl 1.20
you need to use hard-spl 1.20 olipro to install your radio, 1.30 has resulted in radios not being flashed even though you follow all the steps.. there is a note about this in the guide if you read it carefully.
Flashed With Olipro 1.20
RACERX i have flashed it with olipro 1.20 but still it shows no GPS device? even after 20 minutes of keeping tomtom on. should i upgrade rom to 1.40 GPS, i saw one on this forum. although i have downloaded it but it ROM update utility shows pretty strange words on its menu!!! what next
what radio do you currently have
The problem is clearly that you radio ROM is not up to date - and that it why you don't have GPS.
hi buddy! I got it solved!!! Yes it's the problem of the radio, and seems that if your hard SPL version is 1.30, you are not able to flash the radio. everytime it seemed works but after flash the radio just remain the same.
read this thread,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1483529#post1483529
there is a radio ROM with hard SPL which flashs the hard SPL first then the radio. I succesfully found the device and got GPS working yesterday!

No - reading is out of the question. What you have to do (especially if you are new) is just create a new thread - or if not post the same question in as many threads as you can find that are half relevant.
(This of course is cynical sarcasm. Please - do not do the above. I implore you all to READ - as you will find the answers. Also - when you find an answer to your question - try thanking the person who brought you the answer - instead of pretending that you found something new out)
Probably radio version 1.46.00.11
i flashed using trinity info guide and used radio version 1.46.00.11. but my device information show radio version to be 1.16.00.00 and ROM version 2.0.8.2. should i flash it with another radion "1.46.00.11 GPS" (but RUU shows strange wording on the menu when i launched it but didn't install it cause i wanted a go from u) available on this forum?
my goodness... it says on the bottom of the guide in BRIGHT RED FONT "If you have followed these steps, but your radio has not been upgraded, please install Olipro's Hard-SPL version 1.20 found here using SSPL (do not enter bootloader manually) and try to flash your radio again. After doing so, it is recommended that you flash Hard-SPL 1.30 again."
i've now posted this info in the million noob threads as well... seriously ppl..
Thank You Very Much
RACERX you are the MAN, you really are an expert. Now my GPS device is working but searching for the signals as i am in Pakistan these days. Know of any south asian (pakistan or saudi arabia) maps available.
Besides tomtom, which one is the best GPS navigator? And if possible can u tell me where i can find information regarding using my laptops net connection for my PDA? i am an old user of computers (since 1991) but a newbee in the world of pocket pc, and its because of you that i could change completely my SFR s300+ into an english windows mobile 6. I will donate something for you man. I read many threads carefully but was wondering around untill you pulled me outg of this trouble.
Again THANK YOU VERY MUCH
glad it helped.. i'm not familiar with which map programs support pakistan. I use MapKing for Singapore where i am, and love it ... i don't see a pakistan map, but you can check http://www.mapking.com/en/MK10/MK10_Dowload_Eng.htm#Malaysia Tom Tom seems to be quite popular, but again i don't know what countries it supports. Maybe you could try garmin or something? I know that they at least support thailand and such.
about your net connection, you basically want to use your trinity as a bluetooth modem? I've never done it, actually, but i think there are some threads on it if you search around. sorry i can't be more help. let me know if you get stuck
Thanks Again
I really appreciate for your timely and valuable response.

Unlocking HTC TYTN 2

I just recently Purchased a HTC TYTN from Rogers, now i am having problems, how easy it to unlock this phone by hardware was reading about unlocking steps etc. how to do it with the softwares.
Or I bumped into a website http://www.123Unlocking.net unlocking by IMEI i called them they said they give me code and enter it in.
What are plus and negative what way should i go, i dont really want to break my phone, i am not that much of a tech savy guy please give me your input thanks!
Pof way is dead easy mate
what's even easier is calling your service provider, telling them you're going overseas, and asking for the code
Hello,

SPL 1.0 Olipof is a version of hard spl, you flash that to your device before doing the sim unlock.
Use the unlocker in this thread, by memory it does the whole lot, hard spl, and sim unlock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375583
once you have done the unlock, i would then upgrade the radio rom to one of the recent ones, then update hard spl to a recent one, then update the rom to a wm6.1 rom. You need to start reading through the kaiser forum and wiki both of you.
Use that link for the sim unlock though, definately the easiest, i did it the other day on my replacement phone.

Choosing a HARD-SPL

Hello guys,
I have a couple of questions which i aint getting an answer to when searching the forums. (google didnt work eather) .
first i'am a total noob in flashing roms tho i do have great knowledge about computers / programming etc...
My configuration is :
MDA compact IV (which is a DIAMOND200)
IT is also cid locked and simlocked by T-mobile
the ROM is 1.93.xxx.x
The SPL is a 1.93
radio is a 1.00.00.25 (or somthing like that cant remember )
What i want ?
What i want is a ROM which is fast and has the looks of the real htc touch diamond. And i also want it signed by olinex.
What iam searching for ?
Iam searching for a 1.93 signed HARDSPL. The problem is that i managed to find one which is unsigned but when iam in RUU it says Iam upgrading
FROM: 1.93.xxx.x <-- this is my rom not my spl right ?
TO: 1.00.DIAMOND <--- LIKE WTF ? shouldnt it be 1.93 ?
So first step is to get the right HARDSPL installed correctly :/ And iam also worried my MDA compact IV will have problems when installing the hardspl :S (because of the DIAMOND200 tag)
Would anyone so kind answer my questions.
Thanks in advance,
Qwin
So nobody has an answer to my questions ? I mean is it that hard to answer ?
No, and manners cost nothing either .
The signed Hard SPL isn't the best choice. It limits the number of ROMs you can use, becase OliNex arn't (AFAIK) keeping up to date with signing. Use the un-signed Hard SPL.
As for the RUU, just ignore it, it's only showing you the version on the NBH file - this contains 1 or more NB files which is what's actual flashed to your phone.
What the RUU tell's you is pretty much irelevant (other than error codes).
