Diamond P3700 Rom

Hello, I'm new here, so excuse-me if i say something stupid. I bought an unlocked Touch Diamond Orange. I tried yesterday to upgrade my rom with one witch has been provided by HTC (RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1) , but it didn't work. My laptop states that ERROR 262 occurred, and the red bar stays in 0%. I tried a few more times and it is still the same. My device is using SPL 1.20 OliNex. I read that I must not install hardSPL over my SPL because of warranty reasons. I don't know if the rom version, radio version and spl is original one. So I have many questions. I don't know if I have hard SPL or SPL.

1. How can I know witch spl, radio and rom version is the original?

2. Do I have to unload the current spl, radio and rom vesion and try to install a new one? How can I do this?

3. What I have to do to update my device rom without loosing my warranty? - I know that I should unload the new version to don't loose the warranty, but is the current version the original one?

Thank's for the attention.

Please help me.

Current Versions:

ROM version: 1.37.405.1 WWE

ROM date: 06/12/08

Radio Version: 1.20 OliNex

dear, 1.40 is in this very thread :) go to second post in this thread! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
1. heh, you clearly have the radio for sim unlocking. but don't worry, you can flash any stock radio version over this. 1.00.25.05 is quite recommended: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=407956

2. you probably need to install the unsigned hardspl, get it from this thread, second post! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=400950

3. if you need to invoke the warranty, then get the stock SPL back on the device along with a stock radio. wiki or this thread (see second post again) has the steps on how to put stock SPL back. direct link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2324837&postcount=20
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
what is the screen like? black?

why did you reinstall the stock spl at all?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zaphyr:
When I started flashing my device, I decided to go for the safe option using Signed HardSPL, SPL-1.30.OliNex.

I have later found out that for most of the ROMs that are released the Unsigned SPL is needed.

Is it ok to flash the Unsigned HardSPL over the Signed HardSPL? I can't seem to find a clear answer to that anywhere
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dingil:
Screen is black.

Just wonder that is why reinstalled stock spl.

Help needed on TV-out

Hi Olipro, and all forum members reading!

First of all, thanks for all the great hard work on all the HardSPL's!

I had many windows mobiles in the past, and they provided great help to me.

One thing just came into my mind..

Since i have read on another thread, that the features of a chipset (which is the same in both the Touch Pro and the Diamond, if i got it right) are enabled/disabled by a license, which is biult in the bootloader (/SPL?).

Was that right?

Since the only thing i`m missing from my Diamond is the TV-Out, would it be possible in this case, to grab the license somehow from the Touch Pro, and flash it to Diamond?

Or to grab the SPL to do the same with.. or are they totally different?

Thanks in advance for your much appretiated time and help,

Kind regards

I'v a MDA Compact IV / DIAM200. i just want the original HTC rom on my phone. Therefore i first have to install Hard-SPL. i'v tried unsigned v1.40 but i hangs at 0%. Any ideas?

If i just want the original rom, can i just use the signed version?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zaphyr:
As it says on the first page of this thread:

Anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy SSPLManual.exe to the device and run it. then once the screen is black, run RUU manually (you run the RUU on the PC, if it isn't obvious).

INSTALLING THIS WILL HARD-RESET THE DEVICE
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MP_Swede:
That is exactly what I did, and it ended with saying that everything was succesful. (My doesn't hang at 0%, it compleates 100% OK)

But when I reboot i still have my stock SPL 1.93.00.00

What else do I need to do to get a Hard SPL ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MP_Swede:
PS! Everything is working so it is not bricked yet
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
1.93.00.00 is the OS version not the SPL.

why don't you read all the instructions? they will answer your question as to how to check.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MP_Swede:
Hia,

I'm also reading http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_diamond_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html

When I do this I get the "tricolore" on screen, but this is only on for 1/10 second and there is no way anyone can read what comes up on screen.

Do you have any other idea on how I can read what Hard-SPL I have ?

Or how I can slow down the initial screen.

Thanks.

I can also recommend the Wiki and the Rules.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MP_Swede:
Thanks, and I have read all those pages & wiki and so on.

The problem I has was that No-One mention that I should hold the Volume buttom pressed until I get the "Tricolore" screen.

So the solution was to Press and hold "Volume Down" and hold it pressed until the Tricolore was showed on screen.

Now I can read what Hard-SPL I have and I can finally move on and upgrade to some nice ROM.

Hi all,

I think I made the same mistake (but there is a happy end).

Starting with an Orange (FR) Diamond, ROM version 1.37.x:

1. I flashed the 1.40 Olinex unsigned HSPL

2. then the HTC 1.93.x ROM update (got tricolor boot loader then progress bar... OK)

3. and then the 1.93 stock SPL just to have a "stock" Diamond (neither tricolor screen nor progress bar but the flash process completed successfully)

Of course, today I couldn't resist to the new 1.00.25.08 radio so:

4. I flashed again the 1.40 Olinex unsigned HSPL (neither tricolor screen nor progress bar but the flash process completed successfully)

5. just to try another adventure, I flashed the 1.93 Olinex unsigned HSPL

6. then I flashed the radio ROM -- the tricolor boot loader screen and progress bar were back, the process completed successfully...

OK, I will keep 1.97 HSPL ;-)

I really thank all the contributors of this forum, specially cmonex, Olipro, tom_codon, duttythroy, A_C, and all I am forgetting and who are making a great work.

Kind regards.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] menghua84:
Hi guys,

i've flashed to 1.40 Olinex unsigned HSPL. In the earlier posts, it says that the HSPL has overwrite protection. So the question is, how do i flash from 1.40 HSPL to other version of HSPL?

do i need to roll back to the ori spl and then only flash to other version of SPL? Just wanna test out on other SPL as there's some problem with my edge/gprs connection..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] biker:
I don't think so. I think it is possible to directly flash a HSPL over an existing one... But it would be safer to wait for the advice from an expert.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] menghua84:
NOTE: this has overwrite protection, so don't try flashing another SPL using HardSPL.

if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, we will soon post a stock SPL downgrade package.

this is why I'm worried bout flashing other SPL over this version... any advise?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] menghua84:

Ring problem on Diamond

I've having problems since i've bought my diamond. It's suddenly stops ringing and starts only vibrating when i have an incomming call, without sounds. When it happens I have to make a soft reset to it become normal again; but the same problem occours many times in a day! I tried to play music when it occours, and the speaker works normally. All volume (ring and system) are in the maximum. Every day i loose many calls because of this problem. I have already updated the rom version with the one provided by HTC hong kong, but the problem continue. I have a ring delay problem too; it rings on the 3rd time, after the lights flashes. Can anybody help me?

Please.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] frozenwaffles:
ok some help here people...i am doing everything in the below instructions to the 'Tee' and cant get it to work:

STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!

1. download the stock spl package from this post (pick one of the attachments) in this thread.

2. also download the RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip from the attachments in this post.

3. pick the SPL you want to reflash to (ONLY FOR WARRANTY REASONS), it's a .NBH file, put the NBH in the extracted RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH package.

4. run the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.

+5. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen.

that's it.

i am trying to get the telstra spl back on my diamond130. i have loaded the stock rom back and now i just want to put the stock spl back on...

why isnt this working???

i have tryed putting the device into bootloader mode directly and update from there...it appears to work but once i get the 100%/congratulations/blah blah blah...i recheck the bootloader and its still the 1.93 olinex unsigned spl....

please hlp!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
simply download one of the HSPL versions you want, it will be a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and replace the RUU_Signed.NBH with this in the original HSPL package. then go ahead and flash.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
do not try doing it from bootloader directly. you weren't doing the instructions to the T if you did that :(

what happens if you try it with the phone synced to activesync?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
any of these really, i suggest you use the 1.93 one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] frozenwaffles:
i tried it from activesync. if i do it from activesyn the phone just goes black, then wait for about 3-5min and i get a connection error. tried this like 10 times! i know how to read...

i am runningn vista, then tried eveything again from a xp machine...all the same results!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
when the phone goes black, please go on with the RUU (yes it is normal).

do not use a USB hub.

someone also said that it might be worth disabling the advanced network functionality in settings on the phone before you start.

also, the NBH you want to install must be one of the SPL's I posted.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zaphyr:
So, to go from a signed to unsigned SPL, I do the following:

1. download the signed SPL again

2. Unpack it

3. Download the unsigned SPL

4. Unpack it

5. Copy the file RUU_Signed.nbh from the unsigned folder to the signed folder

6. Reflash the signed SPL

?? :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
no, that is only for stock SPL replacement procedure (it is intentionally made like that so users don't download that package instead of hardspl :P ).

basically, just get one of the unsigned hardspl OliNex package from post #2 in this thread and flash it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dezz:
How can I check is it the OliNex Unsigned Hard-SPL or signed one after it was flashed?

Yes I flashed and have my doubts about what it is. In booloader it does show

SPL 1.40.Olinex

But when I start the RUU again it shows 1.37.118.3 spl (during upgrade)

And is there a list of supported ROMs?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
eh, the RUU says that nowhere. that is OS version

1.40.OliNex is unsigned so it supports any ROM
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] codeice:
Thank You

Just a note of Appreciation to all the hard working guys who make this forum possible.

The HardSPL_Olinex137_Unsigned for the Diamond work like a charm!

Thank you guys and everyone who put so much effort.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] borce_razor:
please help me!!! after flashing Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip on diamond screen appers this: YOU DON`T HAVE PERMISSION TO USE THIS ROM CODE and phone restart all time. What to do ? Urgent!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
you need to flash the stock OS on your device, or another ROM that matches your region.

for example if it had russian rom on it originally, flash another russian rom. (keeping the hardspl of course)

or you can do:

0.: enter tricolour screen

1.: ensure you have radio 1.00.25.05

2.: download&flash rom with region patched nk.exe (i released one somewhere, can help modifying another rom) and it will boot, or download&flash rom that doesnt have the check by default at all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] borce_razor:
Big thx cmonex. Only flashed another rom and problem solved. Originally my rom was ROM-1.93.401.2wwe, RADIO-1.00.25.05, PROTOCOL-52.29.25.12H.

I cant install either signed or unsigned. Get invalid vendor ID. Any ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] SRocco:
Hi there,

I'm having problems installing HardSPL onto my Vodafone branded[NL] diamond.

The problem is that whenever i start the installation my phone goes blackscreen and disconnects from the pc thus also from the activesync connection which results in the updateprogram giving me an connection error message.

I have tried it several times but without succes, at the first attempt the pc found a new hardware devicewhen the phone was diconnected. But the install of this device failed and i cant get the pc to reconnect with the phone without unplugging the usb and restarting the phone by removing the battery.

On al the following attemps the phone just disconnects and no new hardware device is found but i cant update because the phone stays disconnected.

Can anyone help me with this? I have no idea what the problem could be.. :confused:

Greetings,

Roscoe

I installed the unsigned SPL but no matter which rom i try to flash I get the message "ERROR (244) invalid model ID" (translated from Dutch that is :) ).

Am I missing something ?

I have a T-mobile MDA Compact IV with 1.37 NL new today.

Fixed it by flashing the 1.93 Olinex :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
you must read and follow the instructions especially the step about the phone having to be in windows mobile when you click the hardspl exe.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
you too must read the instructions, especially the one that mentions black screen.

try a different USB port, do not use USB hub, reboot PC, try different PC, etc...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
ok, i'll add it =)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MisterBuggie:
I just wanted to say thanks thanks thanks to you guys working on this.

Maybe this can help others : My Diamond came with version 1.37 ROM customised by SFR. I only wanted the black skin (SFR touchflo is horrid), I originally changed the theme, but then found the SFR 1.93 ROM so updated... And the black skin doesn't work with that version... I just spent hours going through forums (I started on the french forums), and flashing, rebooting, flashing, rebooting. I had to use the SSPL-Manual.exe to flash the hard spl, and was attempting to install your signed 1.93 france rom, but it blocked at 0% on screen every time.

Neither signed hard spl worked, however 1.37 works like a charm. For info, when flashing the actual ROM, the screen goes black, USB turns off, then a couple of seconds later screen goes into 4 colours, and USB comes back on. The black screen issue seems to be independant from any kind of USB connection, because it doesn't reconnect itself until it's past the black screen.

Now it's all working great (albeit I get a bit of red text on the first "htc diamond" splash screen, but that's nothing).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
the black screen is SSPL.

after you flashed hardspl you should have tricolour just fine while flashing roms

red text is probably the kernel version, radio version, etc, shown during boot :)

Will Unsigned Dev Edition HardSPL allow use of Raphael radio?

I've been reading through rom posts for a few hours now, and I'm a bit unclear about the differences between unsigned SPL and the concept of a Security Unlock.

An unsigned SPL supposedly allows you to run unsigned code, which includes unsigned roms, which could be bad if you somehow manage to load the wrong rom.

All I can gather so far is that when I "Security Unlock" my diamond, I will be able to load up the Rapheal radio to see if they've made any changes that will improve reception for the US ATT 3G network. This is all from the Rapheal Wiki.

If I use the Developer Edition Unsigned SPL, would that allow me to use a Raphael radio? They're compatible as far as I can tell, however in the Rapheal forum they talk about needing to Security Unlock your device first.

I'm currently using jockyw2001's 1.34 HardSPL, but I can't see if its signed or unsigned.

When updating the radio to Rapheal's 1.02.25.27 I recieved a codecheck error, so either the radio's really not compatible, spl 1.34 is a signed spl, or its unsigned but it doesn't apply to radios. not really sure yet.

So, is running an "unsigned spl" the same thing as a "security unlock"?
