ROM Update needed? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

I got my phone from Vodafone yesterday and came with the following;
ROM Version: 1.37.161.2 WWE
ROM Date 06/26/08
Radio Version 1.00.25.03
Protocol Version: 52.26a.25.09U
Was thinking about flashing to TLR 3.08.07.16
Would this be an improvement over the current, sluggish ROM?
Thanks.

Original ROMs arefull of crap and contain old software. Try installing a cooked ROM, you will find them MUCH faster and more stable than manufacturers ROMs.
I use Duttys 3.4. MAKE SURE YOU CID UNLOCK FIRST SO PLEASE DONT RUSH INTO THIS.

I thought this would be the case, but always prefer to check. It's like a new PC, I always format and start again with a fresh, non-OEM install.

This is where I show I'm a beginner. What's CID?
I was going to follow this guide.

CID is put there by the manufactorer to stop you flashing to ROMs not made by them. I just done a quick lookup and CID unlock is not required as long as you flash your SPL.
My advice to you IF you decide to use a cooked ROM:
1. Read THIS before you do anything so you understand what your doing.
2. Flash your SPL to a Hard SPL. I think there are 2 on here for the diamond. I use THIS one.
3. Flash your ROM to a ROM of your choice. I use Duttys 3.4 because its a good ROM and he brings an update almost every 1 - 2 weeks, so your always using the latest software and tweaks. But feel free to choose your own.
Hope I helped.

Thanks for the pointers.
After reading through, I gave it a go...
...Hmm, looks like I may have to try Duttys, as TLR has failed on me twice now with 'ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR'
Anyone any idea what's causing this?

use the search button
this error is common....you will find what you need

Have a look HERE.
Is your phone connected via Activesync? XP or Vista?

Thanks for the responses everyone!
It ended up I was using a signed SPL rather than an unsigned SPL and therefore wouldn't let it install.
Time to rummage around the forums and look from some good apps!
Thanks again!

Glad you got it working

dutty´s Windows Mobile 6 Premium v2

finally!
screenshot: http://www.thegamebooks.com/download.php?id=151&f=29
release info: http://www.thegamebooks.com/pocket-...y´s-windows-mobile-6-premium-v2-f29-t633.html
if you need support for this catch me at the gamebooks forum.
...and now that this is done i hope i can get koch v2 out
greets: jas,legolas,mousey,olipro,pof basically the whole irc chan.
edit 1hr after release: files have been updated, please redownload
i`m really sorry for those that have already downloaded it, but releasing three roms at once is complicated
edit2: this rom is based on the latest public rom base aka dopod as the build i was working with was very close the switch of the base was easy and obvious.
i also forgot to mention these things:
OS Build: 17741.0.2.1
included IPL: 1.04
included SPL: 1.40.Olipro
included Radio: 1.41.00.10
one thing i want to mention: iirc all builds with an aku smaller than 1 are beta builds, i.e. 18000.1.0.0 would be the final of wm6.
you can see if the build# was not hacked if you dump the rom and check if shellres.dll and shellres.dll.mui are still XIP files.
if there is request for it i could release the rom without IPL/SPL/RADIO at all in the future.
last but not least, just because i dont write it in red and in capital letters doesnt mean it´s less important: please don´t forget to donate so i can motivate myself to work on these free projects. i´m still busy with a job and university, so i have to waste my already non-existant freetime on these projects (koch v2, wm6prem)
edit3: thanks to mr vanx and rabanjr we now have os only upgrades. the links have been posted in the download posts for the release on thegamebooks.com .
besides that, mrvanx also made an upgrade guide for wm6 premium that you can find here
Nice nice "advanced setup" app integrated in the rom!
We miss u in irc
Good work Dutty, advanced setup like too
Good Work Dutty, Liked Your Last ROM And Im Sure I'll Like This One.
Now When The **** Is The Koch Coming Out Haha Take Your Time As I Know It Will Beat The **** Out Of Anything That Came Before It.
Cheers

whats new in the updated version?
For the dummies amongst us, what is the difference between WM6 Professional and WM6 Premium?
Been waiting for this!
Any chance to use the Dopod Test ROM as a base ROM?
Any chance to see the Advanced Setup as a cab-file.
Upgrading to Dutty 2.0
I already have SPL 1.40 so when I try to upgrade, which boot loader do I choose? My IPL is 1.00 and I am running Dutty's first release.

For safety reasons, I would upgrade to a Hard SPL like 2.10Olipro. Look in the Hermes > Upgrading forum. Do that first. Then, when you run RUU, select the (I think third) option for 1.2 / 1.3 / 1.5 and newer versions and then run it.
You may also want to upgrade IPL - you do that by selecting the Force SSPL option. But only use that option for flashing IPL - otherwise use the 1.2 / 1.3 /1.4 and newer as indicated above. Good luck.
Ah, what the heck, here are some links. SPL upgrade link IPL upgrade link
Internet Sharing
Anybody tried on this ROM already?
I am having problems with Connect using this ROM.
Never had this problem before - basically it sends me to fix the setting, which are coorect be default
Thank you.
How to upgrade the ROM?
I've downloaded the package v2 but having problem upgrading from the previous dutty.
So, in order to use my Hermes, I flashed to LVSW in order to use the my Hermes. Still trying to find ways how to flashed dutty v2.
kindly help.
Edit:
Managed to flach it using Custom RUU Updater by Olipro. Thanx a million to Olipro
Congratulations.....and thanks
Regards.
Any chance of adding audio enhancement such as EQUALIZER in any of the roms particularly duttys.
thanks

On which OS is based this ROM dutty?...btw nice work! Will try your ROM as soon as I will get home from work...
Regards,
Primoz
good good,
gonna try this one soon as i'm back from work
Fantastic ROM with this upgrade.
1. I switched from V1 to V2 albeit some glitch/error during the process.
2. Fast upgrade from 0% to 80% then slow from 81% to 100%. So, For new ROM flasher, don't be afraid and don't do anything stupid by switching off and unplug the cable.
3. If you encounter the error or finding that the RUU updater doesn't match the IPL/SPL, don't worry, grab the Custom RUU updater from Olipro and copy the nbh file into the Custom RUU Updater directory. Force update, I may say. It works and I've tried it already as mentioned in my previous post.
4. If you want to use HTweakC or TweakUI, grab it from the WIKI. As for me, just use the "ADvance Setup" provided in the ROM and you will get the same result.
5. ClearVue PDF is replaced by Adobe LE which imho is better. Other user may have different opinion.
All in all, I like this ROM very much
Million thanx to dutty and others who have contributed towards improving the ROM. Also gratefull to Olipro for the most outstanding custom RUU. OliPro saves my Dopod838Pro (Hermes). If not I can only see the tri-color bootloader screen.

morisa
In Tri-color Boot Mode
Well while updating with spl 1.40 0Lipro my laptop crashed at 89% and now
my 8525 is stuck in tri-color boot mode. Cant't communicate with usb sync.
NOW WHAT?

Can I go back?

I looked around and did not see a clear answer to the question of reverting/flashing back to WM5 if desired after flashing one of these WM6 ROMS.
Does anyone know where I can find the answer?
Thanks in advance.
I too have looked around but haven't asked for fear of being flamed. The gurus think that we should be able to pick up on all the lingo and have a clear understanding of what everything means.
I am looking for a way to go back to a shipped ROM from anything after flashing SPL 1.11 in case I need to warranty exchange my Cingular 8525. I have yet to figure out how to do it.

Yes. You can go back to WM5 from WM6. I have done it before with no problems. Your answer is once again yes!

...but just to let You know..
once You go black (2.5 ), You will never go back...
hi there
first of all, I am no expert in the ROM related knowledge, but i did go back to WM5 from WM6 recently. The reason I have gone back to WM5 it is because I am suspecting the Chinese viewer (CE-Star) that i used does not work good in any flavor of WM6, it causes frequent lock-ups in WM6 that makes my phone pretty much unusable.
Besides, i don't mind to share my experience for downgrading to WM5, the following is my up and down sequence.
1. upgrade from Dopod WM5 rom to WM6 cooked rom
2. upgrade to SPL 1.40
3. upgrade radio to 1.38.00.11
4. upgrade radio to 1.40.30.00
5. upgrade to SPL 2.10
6. downgrade SPL from 2.10 to 1.40
7. downgrade from WM5 Rom (It is some sort of HTC Standard WM5 Rom that my friend gave me, and my radio has gone back to 1.38.00.10 as the ROM comes with it.
8. upgrade to SPL 2.10
9. upgrade to Radio 1.40.30.00
Also, you may check out mrvanx's guide for downgrading to WM5 here.

actually... i'm on black 2.5 and thinking of going back... too many apps are wiggin out on wm6
I actually just did it. I was running the latest version of HardSPL, flashed to the new ATT ROM, and then created a updater to flash the SPL to the ATT spl.
Wasn't hard, and only took a few minutes. So, as of right now, my phone is running the new ATT ROM, and if I need to warranty it, I'm all set.
in the wiki it mentions..
If your vendor has released you original rom as a shipped upgrade, you just need to flash it.
If your vendor has not released any ROM upgrade yet, you cannot fall back to original ROM easily. You'll have to reconstruct the ROM out of a dumped ROM.

I'm using 838pro, what about the ROM which available to download from the dopod company website.
does it safe to just flash from it or do I need to repackage the ROM..?

if you only want to read chinese, but not input, there is an alternative to it. look for a cab which is named 'sunglobe.ttf register patch'.
Maybe the easiest way
First thing I would want to do is to Flash the unit to what is known as a "Hard SPL". For some reason it makes all the other flash work go a lot more smoothly. You can get instructions and software for that at:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php...ask=view&id=40&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=2
Once that is done, and it should take about 5-10 minutes depending upon the speed of your computer and USB connection, you can load whatever OS rom you desire.
You can get a carrier agreeable rom from the Cingular/ATT site:
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8525/software-downloads.html
Or, and this should work, just link directly to the rob by clicking:
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/d...R_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe
This should leave you at the latest and greatest of the WM5 packages from Cingular/ATT, and all should be well. And . . . if it hozes . . . which it should not, you should have no warrantee issues since you were trying to flash the upgrade that THEY were providing you. :-D

ROMs from Dopod HK or Singapore are very old ones. The SPL is 1.04. You may not be able to flash backward if you are with HardSPL v7. Also if your radio ROM is newer than 1.27, you may face problem when you flash the original (as it is packed with an old radio rom).
(Please correct me if I am wrong.)
To play safe, follow mrvanx' guide:

After some readings and I have managed to used dutty's tool to recompiled the Dopod's WM5 English rom from the original Dopod shipped rom.
This rom has OS + Extended Rom ONLY.
No IPL, No SPL, No Radio.
I have tested and it works on my Hermes, and Bootloader and Radio stay as is. Please note your result may vary.
Here's the download link
http://rapidshare.com/files/29500131/WM5_Dopod_1.30.707.4__Huchison_3_AU__OS_ExtRom_only.7z
To play safe, I would suggest you to do the following prior flashing the OS rom.
1. Flash boot loader to Hard-SPL-V7
2. Flash your radio rom to 1.38. or 1.40

why not ? there are lots of roms out there, check the wiki-pages
Choose your favourite, don't forget to run USPL before flashing and there should be no problem
....and please don't ask which rom is the best one - there are lots of threads about that and imo it's inadequate the say which one is the best.
All the cooks are trying to create great roms - it's up to you which one you like the most....
Yes you can upgrade or degrade
You can always upgrade to WM6 and downgrade to WM5 if you intend to change later. I have done it before many time installed different ROM's.
You only need to run USPL before any new ROM install.
I did this myself just the other day. You can get the official ROM from here for the UK XDA Orbit.

I think it has everything you need.
Thanks. Given how complex that looks I think I'll just use my XP machine to do it.
Am I right in thinking that upgrading like this will hard reset the device? That I'll need to reinstall all my programs and reinstate my appointments/contacts etc.? If so, can I create an SPB self-extracting backup on WM5 then run it on WM6 to get my config back?
I know there are lots of ROMs out there but I was just careful and used the standard O2 release:
http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
And yes, it clears out your machine unless you have installed the software on the SD card in which case it just gets confused.
But it is worth it.

Odd, that site won't accept my serial number... I have tried many different combinations of what it could be (swapping 0 for O etc.) but it keeps telling me it isn't valid.
Just use the link I provided, it is the same ROM. Using the other link you have to make sure that you use Internet Explorer, other brwsers don't work.
Will do then, cheers.
slow downloads
could someone please up the official O2 UK WM6 ROM for me please?
i've tried downloading from the aforementioned official websites. it starts out at a fine speed, then gets slower and slower until it eventually times out.
really want to upgrade, so if someone could upload the official rom to megaupload/rapidshare i would be much appreciative.
thanks
Here you go, fortunatly I still had it on my HD from when I upgraded mine.

thanks!
cheers for that much appreciated. however it seemed to download fine this time, but i'll get urs as a back up too!
this is the official ROM right?

Yes it is the official ROM, I got it from the link I posted earlier in the thread.

generic ROM before flashing new ROM?

Hi, I dont have my Softbanks TyN Hermes 200 base ROM. I reflashed ones to shaps WM6.0.
It is recomended to flash original ROM before reflashing to one of the latest ROMs.... is there a good generic I could use instead of my original ROM? or should I just flash the new ROM directly?
thanks!
Its usually recommended to flash to original ROM when you flash a hyperstorage ROM, ie. OS and ExtROM merged! If not, just flash them and it should be ok.
What i do is strip out just the OS and ExtROM from the orginal one and make a RUU just by themself. I flash this before i flash the ROM i like. That way, i dont mess with radio, IPL, SPL etc.

When I saw this post I thought exactly about this. Can you please post this "stripped" version of the official ROM, I'm growing tired of reflashing Radio every now and then. BTW, I was trying to do this a few days ago and got more confused than anything, so I just quit.

I dont have a rapidshare or any of the file sharing account and file is about 80MB, so i dont have a good way of uploading the file. Did you try using dutty's tool (can be found in any kitchen) to strip the RUU file and rebuild it again? That's what I did, if that helps.

Hello,
I wanted to follow this method, but my original rom (softbank x01ht, wm5), is not available anymore. Can I use another generic rom, and in wm6 version? And using dutty's tool, are the "version" and "language" fieds important, or is it just for the info in the phone (as it will be a transition rom, I really don't care about it, even is it wasn't transition rom by the way)? Sorry for the noob questions, but I'm trying to avoid bricking my phone...

I am not sure about softbank, but if you can install any hermes ROM, then you should be good to go with any official hermes ROM.
I never change the version and language in dutty's tool when i create my own ROM's!
Ok thanks, that's all I needed! I will take the cingular rom as it seems it was the one which gave best results on hard reset issue.

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?

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

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..
