are the original hardspl files branded? I downloaded the zip from the link in the post above, but there are just three different version numbers? are there no specific O2/T-Mobile versions ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] taxalian:
you have to first HardSPL the phone and then install the desired rom to flash the

French HTC diamond to CID unlock

Hi,

I am trying to download with no success at all the following file:

Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip

when i open it with winzip or winrar, it says the file is corrupted.

Can you give the link again with a non-corrupted file and ensure it will work on a french HTC diamond (version 1.37.163.4 FRE (20/06/2008); radio:1.00.25.03)?

Thanks in advance.

Update woes

I successfully installed the Hard SPl and all went well. I then tried to upgrade to the Elite team V2 ROM but it never gets beyond 0%. I have searched and read and am very confused...can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks in advance.

BTW by taking out the battery I can get the device working again so Im not a brickie, Thank heavens....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Frodsh:
I'm having the same problem. I guess that it doesn't help that i have no idea about flashing roms. It gets to 100% without showing anything on the diamond. I don't get the tri-colour loading screen after the reset either.

Can anyone offer some advice please.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ratcom:
Guys, think of the SPL has the same as a bios on a motherboard. to confirm its flashed correctly you need to press volume down key and reset at the same time ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Frodsh:
After some playing around, I've managed to get the tri-colour to display (just needed some coordination). Now i just need to figure out how to flash my new rom.

Where/when do i select the new rom in the ROMUpdateUtility?

Hello Everyone,

I've just got a German Diamond from O2, I've updated the ROM here with no errors so far, is it possible to get it in English? as its still in German

Thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] piermaster:
How do i download this as it keeps saying i not got the correct account?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] staty:
Once I started the RUU and waited for sync and started the Update the screen of the XDA goes black and the RUU loses connection to the phone. At the same moment as the screen goes black I hear the Win-Sound for unplugging an USB-Device (without me doing anything) and right afterwards it tries to install an USB device (Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM) but doesn't find any drivers...

In the active-sync window it says that the phone got disconnected. Same in the RUU.

So I only can softreset the phone (because after 15 min still no hardSPL happened) and everything workes as before.

When I try the same with the SSPL-Manual.exe it happens exactly the same. So even if I was trying to open the RUU then - nothing happens because it doesn't find the phone plugged to the PC. btw: i'm using winXP SP3 and got the German o2-XDA...

Any help from you guys?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] LeGranDuc:
I just updated to Elite3.0 using the Hard-SPL linkt in the first post.

I am still experiencing very pronounced flickering og the TF3D.

It does however have a extremely easy fix at least for me. (It may have come up earlier in this thread) I just put the phone in standby. Then when i wake it again it's perfect.

Great work either way guys.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] djind:
Hi,

I tried to install this hard spl thingy, but all it did was a hard reset. The screen went black, but no progress bar on my phone, only on my (vista) laptop. It took about 10 seconds to go from 0 to 100% and then restarted my phone. But it didn't change anything. Just had to configure everything like i got the phone for the first time.

I have the dutch version. 1.37.404.3 NLD

Sorry if this has been covered already, I have limited acces to the internet atm, so i can't go through all the. But i couldn't find a solution.

Also i have tried the other hspl 1.23 1.24 and 1.34. But none of them work. They stick at 0% and then nothing.. just a connection error

Hope to hear more about this..

Edit: How do I know if the hspl has succeeded? Anywhere on the phone? the 1.37.404.3 NLD, that shouldn't hange, right?

Edit2: Volume down + red reset button.. Man I'm a noob.. the hspl-program stated it would take around 10 minutes to complete, but because it did in like 10 seconds I thought something was wrong. It turns out I already did the hspl..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
i am sure it did work. please go to tricolour screen by pressing volume down while resetting, hold the volume down button until you see tricolour.

it will report 1.30.OliNex, so you will be fine. edit: oh I see you did figure it out :)

to 1.37 SPL people: first post updated with 1.38.OliNex which is signed version based on 1.37. (unsigned is of course in developer hardspl thread, second post.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] racerx_:
ah great... i'm a 1.37 person! ha..

quick question though.. is the spl version tied to our hardware, or the software. My understanding from the other posts is that updated ROMs come with updated SPLs sometimes for better compatibility, so even if i had a stock 1.37 spl originally, now that i've flashed to all kinds of different ROMs, do i want a hard-spl based on my original spl?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] naser404:

Hi Everyone!

Just a short question:

My Diamond is in Swedish and i want to change it in English.

Will this fix my problem?

Thanx in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
yes. hardspl will allow you to flash different roms
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
it is tied to hardware apparently... not all people who originally had 1.37 stock complain. some of them are fine. so, see if you get the screen problem, and if not, then you can leave the original hardspl on the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
sorry to hear that, aren't they recoverable?

but I thought you had hardspl before, is this another diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Reb0rn:
Uhm apparently i hade the 1.37 as stock SPL but i flashed it over with the 1.40 HardSPL Unsigned and get these easy fixed flickering problems (just press power button twice)

My question is if i should install any other SPL or just be happy with what i have, i am not so concerned with the flickering thingy really, as long as it lets me flash any ROM out there without any risk of bricking my beloved phone...

So, should i grab the 1.37 or stay with my 1.40? O_o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
you can grab 1.37 hardspl if you can't stand the flickering. otherwise 1.40 is fine

(both hardspl's are fine but I recommend 1.40 if you don't have flickering issue, because it is based on MFG. btw, as we are in the signed hspl thread, signed version of that is 1.30)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Reb0rn:
Ah sorry :) Thought this was the Un SIgned forum hehe ;)

Thank u for ur answer :D i will stick with the 1.40 cuz i think all the flashing goes so much smoother, and the flickering is so easyli fixxed and its based on MFG so no probs for me :)

Noob past mistakes, now apologetic!!

A few weeks ago I posted my first thread which in my opinion was all but damning the HTC diamond....

Of course, as a so-labelled 'Noob' or 'n00b' I was slated and slagged off by much more talented persons than I; subsequently deleting the thread (by request to MOD)!

Since, I have read all the forms as much as possible (trying to learn) and have to say that I am now using:

Elite 3.0 WWE (Walshieau)

1.00.25.05 (Tom_Codon)

and this all started using (OliNex) 1.40 HardSPL.

I have installed the O2 theme from sushilange.

All of this has added up to make my Diamond as cool as; I will be donating upon my next paycheck to all of the above and keeping an avid eye on their future work!

Great job all, converted me :-)

Trying to flash a new ROM

I am very new to the Diamond world, I tried first flashing 1.93 ROM to my 1.34 but it always gave an invalid vendor ID error so I started reading in the forum so I think I understood that to fix the problem I should flash HSPL (a bootloader as I understand), as a fix which will prevent the vendor ID error, so I flashed your SPL as your instructions then the phone hard reset then I tried to flash the new ROM, but the upgrade is stopping on 0% and wont go further, what can Ido?, please help me and instruct me of the fixes
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Krillo:
Hi!

Sorry if this is noobish, and I have tried searching for an answer. I am getting ready to flash my swede Diamond to the new HK WWE posted yesterday. Before that I need to unlock with a new SPL. I want to do the 1.37 since that is the SPL I have now but based on the information in this post I should go with the HardSPL_OliNex138_Signed.zip version so I extracted that NBH file to the Rom update archive I found in the same post (Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip)

When I start the update it says to update from 1.37.413.3 to 1.00.Diamond

I must say that last part worried me a bit, shouldn't it be 1.37.Diamond (or possibly 1.38)?

Did I do the wrong thing by extracting the loose NBH file over the NBH file already in the RUU archive?

If I have understood it right I should use the 1.37 version since this is what was supplied original in the phone?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
ignore the 1.00 thing. just go on with the flash, you did the replacing correctly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
read more please. if you have 1.30.OliNex or 1.38.OliNex then you can flash these signed roms: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=400411

1.40.OliNex or 1.37.OliNex or 1.93.OliNex from Developer HardSPL thread lets you flash anything.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
it says exactly what? your post is not clear to me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
to everyone else:

- you need to install hardspl if your tricolour screen doesn't report xx.xx.OliNex, or xx.xx.Hard.

- if you have issues with PC not seeing the SSPL - try another PC. do not try entering bootloader mode manually for the hardspl flash, that won't work

yes, please read the first post in this thread (or the second post in the developer hardspl thread) more carefully. especially the UPDATE parts ;)

Hi,

I have installed OliNex 1.30 on my MDA Compact IV (HTC Diamond) but whatever I try to update after it is resetting the bootloader hangs on 0% and I get Error 262 on my Vista computer.

Anybody knows how to solve this?

Thanks in advance,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] highchecker@mac.com:
i used the 1,24 spl and it works great, try to use that one, follow the instructions word by word, if your flashings hangs at 0 %, i had that too, it means the spl isnt properly proceeded
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] wookienz:
Just my two cents...

started with 1.93.456.2 WWE. Couldnt flash either new HTC HK WWE ROM or with Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex RUU.zip

Ran SSLmaunal.exe by copying it the the device from PC and use file explorer on phone to find new file, run it. Screen fades and goes black. DONT do what i did and wait for ages for it to "work". GO and now run RUU program on your PC from the zip file as mentioned above.

Voila.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
ok, 1.93 diamonds are a bit special I guess (if you need that one, see Developer HardSPL for 1.93 HardSPL) - though now I have reports that 1.93 is no problem even with older HardSPL's.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dajudge01:
So to get one thing straight before I start bricking my diamond here...

A signed HardSPL will only prevent _flashing_ unsigned ROMs, not starting them, right? Because I wonder what happens when I flash signed HardSPL over my stock SPL and my stock ROM is not signed?

I know this is a real noob question and as a software/hardware developer I should be more confident to mod my device - but the fact that I might brick my 500€ Diamond makes me somewhat careful here...

2nd question: I remember from my prophet that when you bricked your ROM it is still possible to flash it from the tri-color screen - is this still possible?

Thanks for your great work and help!

Cheers,

Alex

edit: anyone? yesterday I flashed my diamond with a new (too old) O2 ROM to give some feedback to the XDA people - and now I'd _love_ to get into flashing cooked ROMs - but those questions keep me from starting... too impatient I guess ;-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cannabis23:
if it says "from image version 1.37.401.3 to image version 1.30 OliNex" should i still do it? It seems it has a newer version.

Hello Cmonex!

I managed 2 flash my device wth only one rom, "RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship" that is all.

Tried flash your 1.93 HSPL on, the progress indicator goes to the end then just restart and clean the device [HSPL still 1.38] even i tried revert for stock spl.

Almost i got 3.5GB of Diamond roms and radios + different hspls on my computer only that one i could flash onto my diamond and nothing else ....

i tried from diamond Project to the Surface , thru 16 different roms and half dosen custom ruu flasher ,does not go.

this rom is exactly the same i got before but some of the apps newer i've get it from here "http://tom.x-files.lv/Roms/Ship/" what is on the XDA-Developers i just can't flash it

*** And i apologize this way if i was a bit hard.***

I took my Diamond appart and found out what the MicroP rom is could be, because my screen connector was not plugged in properly that why the lights has gone,

so by my experiment the MP rom is the BIOS of the VGA screen. Prehaps someone'll find out more precisely...

if someone could help me out put the 1.93 HSPL back on *please*.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
were you using SSPL to update the SPL though?

I am sure it will work then.

on the microP rom, thanks for the info, interesting stuff. how did you figure out it would be that? what did you look at when disassembling the device that determined this info?

and I guess your diamond isn't the first one that has loose screen connector. I have seen the black screen on other devices too. duh HTC. :angry smile:
