[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] coolruler:
I have a HTC diamond bought off a friend from France. It was sim locked to a French telco ("Bouyges"????). After a visit to ModMyDiamond, I managed to get (i.e. purchase) a SIM unlock code and hey - its now sim unlocked. Cool. step 1 complete.:D

Now step 2 is proving not so straight forward. I have read every post in this thread. :eek: I bet i'm not the only one to do this. I have tried multiple times to flash hard spl and have failed at every attempt. I've tried with Win XP SP3 on my laptop and WinXP SP2 on my desktop PC. With XP SP3 I get the connection error after black screen (260?). With XP SP2 I get Adifferent error relating to file privileges (240??). Activesync 4.5 newly downloaded this week on both PC's. I have downloaded the latest DotNEt CF from microsoft and tried updating this on the phone but the phone displays a message saying the version on the phone is newer and thus does not allow the upgrade to continue.. Strange but true.

I feel very frustrated like loads of other people, but I guess that the RUU has been tested for a small subset of handsets / OS's etc, to be completely validated is too big a task for the gurus here? I guess we're all guinea pigs with the benefit of receiving free roms - cool.

My phone details are as follows - please help to let me know what may be causing the problem. (I've tried flashing spl 1.93 plus a couple of earlier ones also). The phone still works fine apart from it having French language (I need WWE).

"Version de ROM: 1.93.483.4 FRE"

"Date de ROM: 08/12/08"

"Version de Radio: 1.00.25.05"

"Version de Protocale: 52.29.25.12H"

The tri-colour bootloader screen shows:

"DIAM100 64M"

"SPL-1.93.0000"

"MicroP-Diam (LED) v11"

"PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30"

Your's frustratingly determined..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cloudedhopes:
i had the specs... windows XP SP2...

once you connect to the ActiveSync, delete the relationship - so it would appear as guest...

now run the CustomRUU for hardSPL (try unsigned 1.40) i also had SPL 1.93 and unsigned 1.40 worked perfectly for me... if that doesn't work... try unsigned 1.93...

also... it might be a vendor ID issue... check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=409425

EDIT: i used olipro's hardspl, you may also want to try jockey... but try unsigned

good luck!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] coolruler:
Cloudedhopes - did you mean that you had the same spec phone also - with french language rom?

I will try the AS guest relationship later. Is there an actual 1.40 version of hardspl? I can see 1.37 but not 1.40. I've probably stumbled across it before in my previous 3 days worth of thread browsing oh well I suppose I can retrawl the thread. Needle in a haystack an all that..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] coolruler:
Re above post - I have failed again. Tried all jockys and Oli's, tried running sspl manual on the phone, hard reset (once), even tried the rom 2.03 from here :

Still no progress.

I'm now running out of ideas for updating to hard spl. Tried all options from modmydiamond also.

Thanks for any comments / help.

Ok, i did it at last, i used the version 1.24 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=408621

1. Download/unzip

2. Run diamond-sspl.bat / screen goes black

3. Enter in the folder HardSPL-1.24 and run DiamondCustomRUU

I still have one question, in step 3 can i run instead of 1.24 the OliNew latest hardspl ? or it doesnt make any sense in changin it ?

Thanks, and maybe this will help somebody
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] coolruler:
well done! and thanks for posting this.:D

I'll try this later and will post back my results..;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] coolruler:
Guess what?

It failed again for me..:(

Did you click the continue button on the phone to make the screen go black before running DiamondCustomRUU? If I click continue the screen goes black but activesync loses the connection and the rest fails - error 260.

If I do not click continue but instead run the DiamondCustomRUU, I get the tri colour bootloader screen and then lose connection.

Any further help will be much appreciated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] altcineva2009:
Sorry for the late reply, i'm was busy, yes i clicked on the screen, this turns black and after this you have to run the diamondcustomruu, it should work.

1. Do you have Vista or Xp ?

2. Did you install the flash drivers?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] coolruler:
I have XP SP3 installed with the latest .net framework. I tried to install the latest compact framework from Microsoft onto the phone but the update software said that the version installed was newer than the latest one form microsoft! strange..

what do you mean by the "Flash drivers"???

Many thanks for your reply!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] altcineva2009:
Ok, let's see..

download them from here http://rapidshare.com/files/206980598/USBAS.zip

1. Unpack the drivers you downloaded to their own folder and make a note of it's location.

2. Put your device in bootloader. For Orbit/Artemis, hold the power/voice recorder buttons then hold the soft reset button for 5 seconds, then release the soft reset button only (continue to hold the other two). Soon enough you'll get the three-color screen. HTC Users press the two soft keys and press the power button

3. Connect your device.

4. Run WMDC.

5. Open connection settings and UN-CHECK "Allow USB Connections".

6. Exit WMDC.

7. Return to the Vista Desktop. Go to Start Search and type "Services" and select this from the resultant list. Click "continue" to display it.

8. In the newly-opened window, find "Windows Mobile-based connectivity" and "Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity". For each of these, in the startup type column, set this to "Automatic" and click "Start" in the bar on the left. Once these settings are changed, close this window.

9. Return to the Vista Desktop. Go to Start Search and type "Device Manager" and select this from the list. Click "continue" to display it.

10. Click the "+" next to 'Mobile Devices', and double-click on "HTC USB Sync" - this is your device.

11. You know can see the properties associated with the USB Connection. Go to the 'Driver' tab and click on "Update Driver".

12. In the next window, select "Browse my Computer for Driver Software", then

13. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer", then

14. Click the "Have Disk" button, then

15. Click the "Browse" button and navigate to the folder created way back in step 1.

16. Vista x32 users should select 'wceusbsh.inf', while x64 users need to select select 'wceusbshx64.inf', then click "Open" and click "Next" to install the driver. [Nearly there now.]

17. Once the installation has completed, invoke the Task Manager using Ctrl-Alt-Del and stop the WMDC process.

18. Re-open WMDC.

19. Open connection settings and CHECK "Allow USB Connections" again.

This is for Vista but i think it works on xp too, just give it a try abd let me know the results

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] coolruler:
That is fantastic, I'll give it a try tonight. I can use a vista Pc also, so I will try this first and let you know how I get on.

this now makes sense as to why so many people may have experienced "error 260 - connection lost" when trying to hard SPL via activesync.

Hail the Helpers!:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] altcineva2009:
let me know if you succed
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] coolruler:
DONE IT!:D:eek::p:):cool:

Thanks very much indeed! I now have olinex 1.38 installed, as indicated by the tri colour bootloader screen (i.e volume down and reset held pressed for 5 seconds)!!!

Did it via your excellent instructions, on Vista 32 bit..

Next job now is to install a new ROM with WWE instead of FRENCH!

Any suggestions / recommendations?;)

More importantly - any links on this forum.

Its been a long time coming but it was worth the trial and tribulation - as long as I get WWE ROM loaded that is..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] X3n0n:
Hi everyone :)

Just a small question : HardSPL (noob version, with sign control) allow me to flash with a signed cooked ROM. That is understood :)

But, does it allow me to flash with an OFFICIAL HTC Rom ? (Actually, French SFR (carrier) ROM, and i want French HTC Stock ROM)

Thanks =)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] coolruler:
Be aware that the HTC stock WWE ROm that I tried to download contained a trojan virus and I now have to re-install my XP Operating system!:eek:

I'd be inclined to move away from HTC and go with a cooked rom, where there may be less chance of downloading som ****e.

I flashed CloudyFa's rom (WWE though) and it is fine.

Guys, im a first time user of PDA and I wanna upgrade to Hard SPL Signed. But I couldnt find the 1.93 version HArd SPL. MY Touch Diamond comes with 1.93 rom so I believe it is better to upgrade to the 1.93 hard spl. Can anyone direct me to the link>?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tiwas2:
Could someone provide an image of what the boot loader screen should look like when all traces of SPL has been removed? I tried flashing the original SPL back like I flash normal ROMs (USB connections don't work anymore), but I'm not sure it went right...

Cheers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Sobler:
the ultimate (noob) question

I just installed the Hard-SPL on my device. After reading the thread of having this safe system thingy that kept me safe from installing other ROMs which could mess up my phone, I figured that this would be great (even though I really dont know how to flash or install another ROM).

Anyway, I got this great question... Will I be able to install/flash(?) this ROM? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=506533

Once again, I'm pretty new to this. I tried using the search tool for more information, but turned out that I couldn't find anything. If theres no way to get the ROM I linked, is it even possible to uninstall Hard-SPL?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nolsen311:
...like, say, for instance you needed to return it or warranty it?

there should be several threads on how to restore the factory SPL and ROM.

to fully answer your other question, I'd have to follow your thread. sorry, there's a *****in episode of Enterprise on SciFi right now. :P

--EDIT--

As long as you have a GSM Diamond, you'll be fine, just follow directions.

--END--

just use a ROM from whichever forum your phone is, if you're using a CDMA carrier (Sprint/Verizon; NAM) your pickins are slim, just make sure the ROM is specifically FOR CDMA. otherwise, you'll probably brick it. which isn't totally unrecoverable (usually).

no matter what you decide to do, you may as well leave HardSPL installed, ithe phone's more useful with it installed.

Uhm...why? What's more useful?

Hello everbody, please if somebody knows, tell me, is it Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip --> 1.93 olinex-signed version of hard spl ?

And where can i find olinex1.40 hard spl - SIGNED, if it exist, maybe i'm wrong?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] foobar1977:
Probably a bit late into the mix but just to let everyone know, flashed 1.93OliNex to a DAIM300 using from XP SP3 with no problem.

The only real hurdle was getting all the files needed for installing HSPL. Seems like the HSPL information is perhaps not as well organized in this forum as it is for others such as the Touch HD/Kaiser etc. Furtunately I'm not really a newbie (not an expert either, just somewhere in the middle :)) so it wasn't rocket sience to search and find the info needed.

I'm new at this flashing stuff, surely thats why I fail at this, but here is the problem:

Everything seems to work excellent, but after the program shuts down the phone, nothing happens. The PDA Phone ROM Updater stays at 0% for a few minutes. Then the following error message shows:

ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR

The ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process. The Program will guide you step-by-step to recover from the errors so you can continue with the update.

I've tried a couple of times already.

There's no problem to get it back in original state, since the update failed.

I'm using Windows XP and have no problem with Active-Sync. So please help me out...

Restoring SPL MDA compact IV

I am having some problems restoring my original SPL on my MDA compact IV.

I have downloaded the "Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex" and used "NBHUtil" to extract the original SPL from a update from t-mobile.

This works fine but when the RUU tries to open the NBH it gives an error.

ROMUpdateUtility in the top, Yellow sign with an ! (like the message icon) and the path and filename to the NBH file.

Can someone explain how to successfully extract the original SPL so i can restore it.

Same goes for me. Absolutely nothing works. I got the 260 error.

When I try via the manual method I get a black screen, and the activesync connection dissapears...

On a sidenote, as I can't find any clear explanation on the net..

1. Install Hard-SPL on your device

2. Security unlock your device

3. Install radio on your device

4. Install a rom (windows mobile 6.5 in my case)

Try internal storage method flashing, don't flash roms with usb cable connected phone over active sync! Firs sure you have to flash HSPL for your device, 1.40 olinex , 1.93 olipro unsigned etc..

Hi,

I did read all of the instructions, but it seems to be very important to install the Hard SPL.

I downloaded and used both the signed and the unsigned versions. From one of the guides I saw it said:

"To confirm is Hard-SPL is on your device, manually enter Bootloader by pressing the Volume Down and performing a soft reset at the same time. If successful you will see the tri-colour screen and the following will be displayed

Hard SPL 1.40.Olinex

DIAM100 MFG 64M

SPL-1.40.OliNex

"

If I take a look at my T-Mobile MDA Compact IV it states:

DIAM200 MFG 64M

SPL-1.40.OliNex

MicroP-Diam (LED) v11

PSOC-Vict STAGE_PVT v0x20

Can I continue? Should I run SSPL? Please help me!
