Downloading the file now...

So i just connect the Diamond to my laptop, open the rar file and click the .exe file? Thats it?

sorry for my noob question. My first PPC device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] HTC_GLOW:
If you are referring to the ROM You need to run the Hard SPL Developer edition first then install rom:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MasK:
Bro...

Which telco did you get from initially? M1?

Since you updated without needing HardSPL, meaning this is an official safe rom?

I got mine from Singtel and i'm wondering if I should upgrade. I've already downloaded it. Do advice. Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
No, I got my set from Singtel with ROM 1.35.871.5WWE. And yes, it is an official rom which was obtained by our fellow forumer Boranic from an Malaysian distributor. I gave my intial review at PPCSG under nick "Lowshock". IMHO it is definitely worth updating..:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MasK:
Sweet.. Im having the same Singtel config as well..

So you're Lowshock.. cool. K.. Will update tonight!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jags1:
thats was the first thing i did when flashed my diamond :) one problem i see since i have got this diamond thingy, it doesn't play any movie i load onto it,tcpmp doesn't get install at all gives error msg no matter what version it won't install therefore avi files can not be played nor i was able to play any movie in windows media player,i don't have enough time to go through registries and look for problems :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pauljohn54:
Thank you Boranic, you have saved me a trip to the SiS distributor or Low Yatt. really appreciate your effort. Best Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jerison:
Hi Bros Mask & Swiftblade. Me from same country too leh and got the same thingy from Singtel during the PC Show.

I am not technically-inclined. What is hard-spl, is it needed for this ROM flash?

Also, after flashing with new ROM, can I do a restore via Resco Backup? I ask because Resco would have backuped the old

registry settings and if I restored, would it not override the new registry settings from the new ROM?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jason1980:
Same here, from Singapore and gotten a M1 set too... So do i just install via USB like the way i install the CE star or need other steps?

Really new to PPC. please advise.

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] MasK:
HardSPL is needed to unlock the CID of the phone, so that you can flash your device with all kinds of un-official ROMs (like those made by our experts here).

This particular Diamond ROM is an official ROM from HTC, so no need to meddle with the HardSPL. Just run the ROM update utility which connected to activeSync.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hello jerison.. Welcome to XDA..:)

Hard-SPL is tool to bypass CID locking of device to vendors and region. It allows you to flash any official rom or custom rom to your device.

But since this rom is a South East Asia WWE ROM which is our region, you don't need Hard-SPL for it. Just activesync to your PC and run the RomUpdateUtility.exe and follow the instructions on your PC screen, and it should be fine.

Do backup your PIM files (i.e. Contacts, emails, SMSes, appointments) using Resco backup or PIMBackup and restore them after flashign the new rom.

WARNING: DO NOT BACKUP AND RESTORE PROGRAM FILES AND SYSTEM FILES WHEN YOU UPDATE A NEW ROM. IT CAN CAUSE YOUR SYSTEM TO BE UNSTABLE OR SYSTEM FAILURE!

EDITED: Oops! Mask beat me to it..hehe:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] HTC_GLOW:
Need to Run Hard SPL developer edition changes the bootloader to one that does not check for ROM Signing

Any of you guys have problem with the alarm?

I cannot dismiss the alarm.. the dismiss option did not appear on the lower left of the screen. I only tweaked the wake on sms registry nothing else..

any ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmwong456:
Me using M1 from singapore. I just execute the .exe and everythings is fine. dont need hard-spl.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Passion!:
heh heh...

looks like quite a number of singaporeans here:)

well- i was on singtel set with 1.35

have flashed this 1.37 (no need hard-spl)

it's really a marked improvement for the touchflo 3d
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jason1980:
Ok thanks will update in office after lunch..

i think my alarms are screwed.. hope the new version soles that..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] phoby:
I have done the tweaking on my rom 1.35 and now upgraded to 1.37 may i know do i still need to do all those tweaks once again or should i leave it as it is ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jason1980:
After flashing, can we restore the old backup into the new firmware?

or will it conflict??

Please advise
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mgear356:
can someone host these files on some links? cant seem to d/l it..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jdimitri:
Ditto.. rapidshare never really works for me
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] moobox82:
ok.. so mines 1.34.. do i have to go thru 1.35 first to install 1.37?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] athanaso77:
No... you can flash 1.37 directly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmwong456:
You loaded the new .net framework the 1.37.XXX Rom, really improved ? any side-effect ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jason1980:
after flashing, can we restore using the 1.35 backup?

Please advise
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jerison:
As what Swiftblade said, I think it is not possible as it will conflict. You can only restore the contacts, emails etc. Cannot restore system, program files etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jason1980:
How do i choose what to restore? i am using the sprite backup provided in the cd

meaning i hot sync the contacts as usual only?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jerison:
I'm not sure coz I am using Resco Backup.

Just let your pda sync and your contacts etc will be in your pda. As for programs, you have to setup them up again from scratch.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] athanaso77:
If you press "Restore" then you can choose what do you want to restore. I would recommend only PIM (ie. Contacts, messages, calendar) and nothing else.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jason1980:
oic.. i only want the pim and smses.. the rest gone i am fine..

thanks! The back up is stored in internal storage, will flashing to 1.37 affect whats inside?

Do i have to save a copy of the backup to my com?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Not necessary as the flashing of ROM does not affect the internal storage at all. But you can keep a copy for your future use though if you so wishes... Cheers

so... great.. wat else can i do.. damn.. i bought it from hk 1.34

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zaki67:
9 installed hard SPL and still cant install this rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mahmood:
which SPL version are u using if its not version 1.40 then it will not work to see the version just (volume down+action button+ reset ) and see which version u have if its 1.30 then upgrade to developers hard spl version 1.40 and also if u have the 1.40 version then the best thing u can do is restart the computer and try again here are some solutions:

1. use 1.40 hard SPL to see if u have it (volume down+action button+ reset )

2. if u have 1.40 hard spl and can not upgrade to any ROM then try to RESTART your computer and try again

3. Do an upgrade in another computer if u cannot do methods 1 and 2 above or boot to another operating system ( to XP if u had used vista and vice versa)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JanDaMan:
Elite v1.1

Lol we now just need an elite ROM based on this new official version :D

i dont see a need to upgrade to this ROM over my elite 1.0 (+ all the tweaks for sms wake up etc...) epically since that memory leak problem is still around with this ROM apparently

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] P996:
I may be wrong but I get the feeling that with this new 1.37.707.1 ROM, battery life has improved. Anybody with the same observation?

A little remark regarding Touchflo3D: I absolutely LOVE how it looks from a GUI style point of view and I wish it would include ALL WM6.1 menues/functions.

BUT: it works very sluggish to say at least and I can't get used to it, sorry. :(

Today I tested a Samsung F480 for over an hour and I was impressed how well the touch operation worked compared to the Touch Diamond. Of course the Touch Diamond is a WM6.1 device with many advantages like a huge 3rd party software pool or good Office/Exchange Server capabilities but still, I think that Touchflo3D or the FINGER touch operation of the Touch Diamond is NOT good at all. Using the stylus, things look different of course but no matter if I compare Touchflo3D to the iPhone or now to the Samsung F480, the feeling is always the same: why is Tochflo3D working THAT crappy on ALL HTC devices and why the heck do some people actually like it(how it works, not how it looks)?

Honestly guys, HTC may have wanted to offer something similar to the iPhone but so far, the result is ridiculous, even hideous. Today for the first time(and I hated to do this because I really like Touchflo3D), I deactivated Touchflo3D and used the Touch Diamond with the Stylus. What a relief, back to the "good old days" when WM devices worked like they're supposed to work...with a stylus.

I love touch operation but what HTC offers is C.R.A.P.. It may not be their fault since after the iPhone introduction every major phone maker seems to put one or more touch operated phones on the market but PLEASE dear HTC guys: better no Touchflo3D than how it is right now.

Today I also let an O2 employee play around with my Touch Diamond, he was shocked how bad Touchflo3D worked(he has a Touch Dual himself and funny enough, the Touchflo without "3D" on his device worked less sluggish). He also agreed that he couldn't offer his customers such a device without having to lie about how good it works, he hopes that the O2 Diamond will have a better Touchflo3D implementation but to be honest, I seriously doubt it.

1.37.707.1 ROM :

-- Faster

-- Better TF3D responsiveness.. But still laggy..

-- Better scrool capabilities espacially youtube and opera sessions.. Also file or contacts view too..

-- But... After 24 hours usage i'm found "easter egg" in new rom... Definetely better BATTERY LIFE :) :)

Sorry for my English...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JanDaMan:
Yeah same here... i think my touch flow is fast and responsive, but the talk of better battery life on this new ROM is tempting me... how much better is it ppl??!

hey man, what ROM were you using before updating to this one??? how much better would you say the battery life is ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Reason4444:
I'm updated 1.35 to 1.37...

Battery life is %20-40 better IMHO.... :eek: I know.. this is like a huge improvement and hard to believe... :o

I'm waiting comments from other 1.37 updaters...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] P996:
Fast and responsive compared to...???

Btw: the issues with Touchflo3D aren't just sluggishness and weird behaviour but also the lack of a certain "constant and fluent" reaction.

I won't even start to compare it with the iPhone touch functionality because I start crying. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danwpeters:
Seems to me that Touchflo3D is marmite, you either love it or hate it!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JanDaMan:
wtf

when i try to flash with this ROM or the European one it just gets stuck on 0%

i flashed it with hard SPL b4 too and that went fine... what am i doing thats retarded....????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rahadza:
you need to use the developers version
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] JanDaMan:
Yes yes i just worked that out lol. thanx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jags1:
bro,you said something that i would say too, n ye this time htc made me feel like i hv bought some ETEN device,they release something and release 100s of roms same time so you pick what you want,looks like there going to be a roms competition between us,anyways

i have got an interesting issue here with my diamond that i can not play movie unless its made with diamond,i mean no matter wat format i play it doesn't play and ye it will not install tcpmp media player either,i have switched to all different roms and back to euro 1.37 for now but that problem still there,no one knows wat it is so i leave as it is.

how about call quality ? sounds like speaker is ripped very bad call quality on mine atleast.

in rom 1.37 gsm reception is very small only two small bars all the time and if i change settings from auto to gsm then H runs away and E takes over with full reception most of the time but i want to use HSDPA not edge so i switched bands back to auto mode.

battery is the only biggest improvment in this rom i am so happy that i don't have to charge over and over again,atleast something + there :D

Hi SwiftBlade,

You got your Diamond from SingTel, so do I. Can you help on "how to go about remove the (Demo on Mio from SingTel) always loaded after Power On?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Chatbox:
To those who are stuck on 0% when flashing the new ROM:

You need the HardSPL-Developer Edition (Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex, SPL 1.40 OliNex).

After unzipping the downloaded file, you'll notice the RUU_Signed.nbh having a modified date of 6/15/2008 5:04PM. That's the Developer edition. If your RUU_Signed.nbh is timed at 5:08PM, then it's not.

When you're at the tri-colour boot screen, make sure the SPL is 1.40 and not 1.30.

@ jmoo2

well this is more or less an "official" release. if you flash yours with the developers hard-spl (its on another thread, just above this one) and then flash it again with this ROM it should work, thats how i did mine and mine is from HK...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jmoo2:
@ JanDaMan

oh ok, so you flashed your Diamond using the Signed Hard-SPL on this thread and then flashed it again using the v1.37 ROM?

Thanks for your help!

Are you ok flash the V1.37 rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Baronic:

Hello, First of all use windowd XP for flashing. I flashed my grey import that I bought from play.com and it works properly. i think the only problem is the windows. And finally DO NOT FORGET TO USE HARD-SPL. If you want to install this rom you should go for the developper edition otherwise stick with the signed one.

Upgraded to 1.37.707.1 WWE and restored to stock 1.37 SPL at the end.

The performance is much better than ROM 1.34 (stock ROM from HKCSL). Worth upgrading! Thank you Baronic.

Lastly, few issues I have (probably not related to 1.37 ROM):

1. accelerometer inaccuracy: run Teeter, and put it on a flat table -> the ball keeps moving to the bottom and left. Waiting for calibration software.

2. Sometimes, it hangs after reboot, or during activesync. (The only reg change is Sent SMS notification; it hangs even before this reg change.)

3. Sometimes, copy files to the drive becomes slow or stopped under USB drive mode; it recovers automatically sometimes. (Vista problem?)
