dear...did you flash CDMA diamond hardspl to GSM diamond??? it is stated in the ppcgeeks thread that it is only for CDMA diamond. anyway, yes, that would brick it.

I updated everything to say this more clearly, but I'm afraid people will still not read... :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DrewVS:
This thread is confusing for new users. It talks about "use this instead of original if" and "use that instead of original if"...but it never clearly states which version is for which phone and what the original version is that they are talking about.

To be fair, every other thread in the forum seems to have the same issue. They are written for the experienced user.

In clear language, which HardSPL should be used for a first time user changing to a cooked ROM? US version of diamond, ROM 1.93xx.

Thanks guys!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DrewVS:
By the way; the HardSPL "Bible" that people keep pointing me to states that ROM cookers generally mention which HardSPL is preferred for their ROMs. I cannot find any ROM threads that do so.

Yes, I do search and read. I'm plenty experienced at doing this on *other* phones.

No slam intended; just pointing out limitations in the current threads. Thanks guys!

Beginners question

Just wondernig, does it make sense to HardSPL without updating ROM? And will HardSPL clear all user data?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
1.40.OliNex but if you have screen issues then update to 1.93.OliNex.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
no, raphael is not diamond. go to raphael forum on this site to get matching hardspl (no, 1.98.0000 is not hardspl)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
it does make sense for some protection in case your OS gets corrupt (not likely but you never know)

yes this specific edition will hardreset it. (raphael edition for example doesn't)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mattz007:
I also have a problem with updating.

I have a windows XP vmware install which works good with all USB devices, but when the updater starts the phone gets black, the updates stops because it can't reach the phone anymore and I need to unplug the battery to reboot the phone.

I have read this about 2 pages back, but can't find out what goes wrong.

Is there a known solution yet ?

Original SPL Only with Bootloder

Hi, i have problem with write back original SPL. Yesterday stop function my touch display and when i use HardReset, they no function continue.

May I rewrite original SPL when i start phone to bootloader? I don´t use the RUU app, because after hardReset I cannot end the instalation.

Which HardSPL to upgrade?

Mine is a Indian version of the Diamond (DIAM140). I have SPL-1.93.0000. Which hardspl should i upgrade to?

Thanks

Ram
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rammkp:
Unable to upgrade HardSPL

All,

I have SPL 1.93 in my Diamond. Am running on linux (opensuse 11). I also have XP as guest OS inside VirualBox. I am facing the below problems when I tried to upgrade to Hardspl 1.40 unsinged.

1. Tried upgrading from XP using Activesync. When I run RomUpdateUtility.exe, the screen goes black in my device and nothing happens after that. In my PC, the status bar does not move beyond 0%. And the USB connection goes off and RomUpdateUtility throws up an error saying my device is not connected.

2. I tried upgrading from Internal storage as well. Renamed the NBH file and copied it to the Internal Storage. Got into the bootloader using VolDown+Back and reset. The bootloader is displayed and then the screen goes white and says "Loading...". Nothing happens after that. I waited for 5 minutes still nothing.

What is wrong with my Diamond? My phone is locked to Airtel (my service provider). Could that be a reason? Can someone please help me?

Thanks for your help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
maybe a bit late now - if you still need help drop me a PM. it is not a trivial matter to restore stock spl from bootloader mode in the case of the diamond

but if the OS can still boot just no touchscreen you can still do it with RUU
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Macmep-:
Flash SSPL without manual.exe

Is there any way to flash SSPL without using the sspl-manual.exe? The automatic mode would not go into the bootloader.

The issue is that the touchscreen stopped working and now the OS is stuck at "tap screen here" after the hard reset. Basically I cannot use the touchscreen and need to flash the original SSPL to send the Diamond for warranty.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] duttyskank:
I'm having what looks like the same problem as others. Followed all instructions and ensured I used HardSPL UNSIGNED Diamond 1.40 OlinNex. Connected via ActiveSync got to final step, then got ERROR on the ROMUpdateUtility app after noticing YES/NO question on the phone screen. Before could answer YES, the screen went black, got the error, and the ActiveSync connection was lost.

Now there is no way to access the Diamond. You can see some light behind the black screen, so it is still powered.

My image version was 1.73.8XXXX. Japanese EMobile S21HT. CMonex, I tried to follow your instruction to ignore ActiveSync and click NEXT, but am getting ERROR[260]: CONNECTION.

I hope this isn't bricked.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] duttyskank:
It seems like so many are having the same problem.

HardSPL: This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing.

But appears to have now bricked my handset. I have read the forum thoroughly and I cannot find any clear definitive information. Eg. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions?. This page is highly confusing. How about a table or matrix, just detailing what SPL are for what. If the moderators don't want to do it, then set something up so the whole forum can contribute their experiences in a more concise form rather than disparate and duplicated text all over the place.

By the way, also followed this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=416211, and according to other posts by moderators and technical specs, my Japanese EMobile S21HT is WCDMA or GSM and not CDMA, so this page is for me and thus 1.40 Olinex Unsigned is the correct HardSPL. However, I couldn't get past the the confirmation message which appeared on my Diamond. Now the screen is black.

A solution would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

hi, kinda new here, i am trying to unlock my touch diamond, followed download instructions etc by reading through these masses of useful info,

i am currently stuck at a point, to install the HardSPL 1.40 Unsigned

i click on the romutilityupdate.exe and extract onto desktop which then places an icon on my desktop.

When i click this icon to update my ROM nothing happens? has anyone else come across this before?

I have the active sync connection open and it is says connected.

Am i totally missing something obvious here?

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, have spent hours this afternoon reading through pages but couldn't find a solution to this.

Thanks guys

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] alireza_simkesh:
i know this is probably a noob question, but if i Hard-SPL my diamond, and flash a custom ROM on it, then does it mean that my phone is SIM unlocked as well?!!

thx for ur attention
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RoozbehDream:
Dear Alireza

If you bought your diamoon from IRAN as HTC Touch Diamond, that means your PPC is originaly not locked to any provider and you don't need SIM Unlock. in fact if you can use your diamond with IRAN network , that means you don't need SIM unlock...and BTW , Hardspl is completly different frim SIM unlock. Hardspl lets you to flash costume ROMs and Radios but SIM unlock lets you to use diffreft SIM cards

can't access bootloader screen

Newbie problem, perhaps.

I have installed Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip . Now I cannot access the bootloader screen to confirm installation.

* Tried running the enterbootloader app from internal storage>programs and also from the standard program folder in the device.

In both cases i get a blank screen with a white line in the middle somewhere that fades away pretty quickly.

* Tried hard resetting but found it physically impossible to press volume key, ok button and get the stylus to the reset button all at once!

Thanks in advance,

still can't manually enter bootloader

Hi, thanks and merry Xmas!

I have successfully hard reset, but still cannot do this

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

(text copy/pasted from modmydiamond.info)

having installed the above hard SPL. I want to confirm that it is indeed there, as advised by xda-dev.

And i'd like to figure out why the keystrokes are not working, especially if it might mean something sinister.

Hope you can help,

For HTC Touch Pro / Raphael?

Hi guys, sorry NOOB here, is it a good idea to use this ROM on my HTC Touch Pro? Is it compatible? Cheers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] carisn:
I have a noob question to.

When I try the update, my screen goes black and all looks good, and then the active sync looses connection and it tells me that there is an error (260) and exit.

How do I get the active sync to stop disconnecting? I am assuming this is the problem!!

Cheers in advance.

PS, I am in Australia if that helps!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mandragore:
Nope, this isn't a ROM and I don't think this Diamond HSPL works on the Pro. You use HSPL to flash ROM's and radio's. Read some more about HSPL and flashing cooked ROM's in the forum stickies first. Check the Raphael forum and [UPG]Hard-SPL by Raphael Elite Team[ONLINE] in particular for your device. Good luck!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Ortholithos:
Sorry - but how come this question appears as an answer to my query which goes unresolved up till now?

please post new questions in a new thread.

my question remains:

I can not activate the manual bootloader screen in order to verify my hard SPL replacement, before going on to my first ROM flash experience.

Please anyone out there - let me know

a) whether I can access bootloader or SPL information in any other way

b) is it any cause for concern that the key strokes don't work (hard reset does work using the same buttons (vol down, reset ok etc)

thaks ,

Diamond not getting updated to 1.93 Hardspl

First. Thanks for all the work you guys are doing. I am having this screen flickering problem with my Diamond.. I initially tried with olinex's 1.40 Hardspl and then upgraded my ROM to the latest verion from HTC website which is 2.03.405.2 and the latest Radio ver 1.11.25.01.. To overcome this flickering issue I tried to flash with 1.93 unsigned Hardspl. Update is successfull 100% completed, but after restarting my diamond, I noticed that the Hardspl still remains as olinex.1.40, am I doing something wrong ?

Apart from this screen flickering, I also have problem with signal strength, it's intermittent, signal comes and goes. I have HTC touch (elf) in that the signal always stays study, but in my diamond it comes and goes.. Any help here will be much appreciated..

Hi, I correctly flashed hardspl 1.38 (and then I also tried 1.37 unsigned), it works, when I check the boot with reset+vol down I can see Olinex 1.3x.

Problem is: I still can't flash any cooked rom. I tried Morna 1.8 and DIB 1.33.

When I try directly from the phone (copying the file inside the 4gb) it says "Loading..." and stay there, I left it for 10minutes and nothing.

When I try through USB, it begins, I see the SPL, then it goes 0% and stay there forever until the software says: ERROR 262.

hard reset and nothing changed on my phone... what I am doing wrong? I have a new Diamond, bought it 10/2008.

but while doing update it showed the version as "1.30" and when the update was complete it automatically hard reset my device!! (i had followed the hardspl update guide on "modmydiamond", where it says that device will only be soft reset after update.

i also cant enter bootloader by pressing "vol down+ reset " key and my phone simply restarts when i do this and shows the same info as before the update on the initial screen.
