Has it ever occurred to you that instead of being so rude you could actually help people by answering their questions? May be you’re some kind of know-il-all genius (which I doubt strongly) but if all of us were like you, this forum wouldn’t exist.

Anyway, I did search in Google before posting my questions. And I couldn’t find the answers. There are many people publishing their own ROM versions and it’s confusing (which is the best, newest, bug free, ..) . How am I supposed to know which one is better?

Instead of being rude you could have told me which version is the newest. Look around the forum, there are a lot of people asking the same question.

OMG, does anyone actually pay you? I definitely wouldn’t. I don’t pay for being insulted, that’s usually free.

@AntiProxy

SMS issue is reported on handsets running .05 radio on Three Network 3G (Melbourne, Australia).

Optus Australia and Vodafone Australia SMS sent/received successfully in 2G and 3G mode.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TML1504:
i returned from the .11 to the .05, because the .11 was

not stable enough for me. sometime the phone freezed,

especially watching online tv with wlan...

this makes me a bit sadly, thus the "gps lag" was much

better (lesser) for me with the .11

Want to add radio 1.00.25.05 to diamond

Thanks intrancer. I have tried that but no luck. First thing that i did is to add the hard spl 1.24 which comes with RUU. When the screen goes black it will only accept the RUU from the 1.24 and not the diamond custom RUU file i have downloaded. When i try the other diamond custom RUU, it is saying update utility is unable to open file. Could you tell me how to do this from scratch please? Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jomo25:
Umm, no. You'd be quad band for voice and 2G data. You'd still be dual band for 3G; US 3G bands would still not be supported by this .05 radio ROM. Wait a bit and maybe one with all bands will eventually come to light. But for now, nope.

SMS not sent error on t-mobile nl

I can confirm that sending SMS messages on any radio other than the .03 does not work on t-mobile (NL) network. All other providers no problems but as soon as i put in the t-mobile sim card i will get the 'message not sent' error.

So, if you use sms and on t-mobile NL network then stick to the 03 radio for now i'm afraid...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dodgebj2:
Thanks for the reply.

I guess ill be here waiting for an update. I want this phone but need 3g data!! USA always get everything the slowest....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] intrancer:
this is what i did:

1. hard rest my phone ( i was having problms with the hard spl)

2 down loaded the hard 1.24 spl. in this root folder run .bat file followed instructions on screen.

2a went to the 1.24 folder and run the .exe file (hard spl installed)

3 downloaded radio version i wanted, opened folder and run .exe file and thats it

Different version of Radio??

Goodevening...

I have a question...I used the procedure to update my radio at the first post of this thread, but I notified something weird...

Currently i'm using Radio 1.00.25.03 and I want .05 to use..Every time i'm starting the Diamond RUU and it's verifying my current radio, it's displaying a different type than installed...its showing me the version of the ROM, and NOT from the radio....

does anybody know if this is normal, and am I still able to update my radio??

I hope u understand what I mean and any help would be appreciated:D;)

Thanks in advance

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] intrancer:
this is ok same here but it only flashed the radio
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daraj:
I also live in the US. My question is that whether the new version coming out for US(Quadband) is any different as far as hardware then the ones you guys have. If the answer is no then i can go ahead and buy the tri band phone( no need to wait) and just update the Radio to enable Quad band. I know its only for voice now but im sure the big guys will solve that minor bug:D

can you clarify please?

No problems here... Running .05 on TLRv3 and T-Mobile NL network.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dutch64:
Weird, have tried it with two different roms (dutty/toms's v2 and swiftBL rom) both refused to send out sms on t-mobile network except when using radio version 03. Too bad because i love the 0.5 radio. Other providers i use like vodafone and kpn/hi dont give any problems.

Might it be that my t-mobile simcard is very old (Still showing the BEN logo on it) or should it make no difference?

Can it maybe also matter where you are, to which area you are connected? Anyhow, one diamond is using the 03 radio now (my wife's lol), the vodafone one is on .05. I still have a kaiser but will sell that one...

Thanks again. Ok, i finally got it. But i noticed it changed the ram size from 192 to 128. Is that a bad thing? Did i lose something to gain something?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] oscahie:
Hi there,

I'm new around here (bought my Diamond 2 days ago) and have just flashed the TLR 3 ROM with radio .05. Everything was going good until I tried the GPS... I started Tomtom 7 and it wasn't detecting any signal from sats, so I changed the config to "other NMEA GPS" and for a moment it worked and got a fix but after that I can no longer get a fix now, it does not even get the time, no matter if I select internal GPS or NMEA GPS. I've also tried with BeeLine GPS and nothing...

I'm reflashing to original stock ROM (radio .03) as I write this and will see what happens...

EDIT: reflashed to stock 1.37.412.2 ESN with radio .03 and GPS went back to life, getting the first fix in less than 1 min. Then I flashed the .05 radio on top of this ROM and the GPS is still working fine. Is it right to assume that it's an issue with the TLR v3 ROM or just that something went wrong during the installation/setup?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] HTCDiamond22:
'05 or '06 which is better?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AgentSmith:
No problems with gps and TLRv3 here. Very quick cold fix. I'd flash again if I were you.

@HTCDiamond22: That question has been answered quite a lot already. Please read. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jomo25:
No one knows for certain, but most likley it wil be same exact hardware. Thus far, it is looking like the only differences are firmware and radio ROMs. But until that is confirmed, its just a strong hypothesis.

We'll know more when the Telstra Diamond is released in Australia. It will support 850 3G (same as used by AT&T here in the US). If that radio can be lifted and enable 850 3G for all other Diamonds, then we'll know much much more.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
Is there a release date yet?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] HTCDiamond22:
so which is better? '05 or '06

will there be future ROMs ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
some people find one ok and others the other one

only way to find whats best for you is to try them both

ps...if you keep asking the same question....you will keep getting the same answer :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] HTCDiamond22:
thanks, didn't get an answer first time round.

just had to ask as the first post says that '05 is improved bat and wireless, but '06 is obviously later, and wondering if that could be slower as it is not said to be faster,

.11 issue with Diamond Project v2

Part of my contribution - hope "search" will guide to this if anyone has similarissues :rolleyes:

Diamond Project + Radio .11 - the latest posted Radio:

Not compliant with eachother as they let freeze Teeter before round 5.

Solution: Flashing back to ROM .06 or .05 solved this.

Could not replicate the error afterwards, so I am sure it is Radio .11 related.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] israrkhan:
Just upgraded to .05 from .03:

E-mail does not work anymore(not capable of connecting, which is strange since internet browsing works). I'm going to downgrade to .03 again and test, and see it it's a rom-problem or a radio-problem.

Update:

Interesting - Does not help to turn off phone, but switching from GSM-mode to 3G, and then back again, resolves the issue. If this is radio-rom related or not I can not clarify....

Connection Error

i gave it a second try but still get the same connection error message.

there must be either something wrong with the RUU ro with my device. (I have hardspl OliNex 1.30)

or let me check with you if i do it right:

- downloaded and extracted RUU in an empty folder on the desktop

- downloaded Radio 05 (.nbh) file, extracted it ; took the extracted file and put it in the SAME FOLDER as RUU. (don't know why in post #1 Tom says : extract the .nbh file in the SAME DIRECTORY as the RUU. Does he mean SAME FOLDER?)

So now I have a FOLDER in which there are only 2 files : RUU & Radio.

then I run the RUU and pass through different windows until i confirm everything and click "update" . the % window appears (both on the laptop and the diamond). it stays at 0% for about 10 minutes and then gives connection error and asks me to "Recover" the device.

I disconnect the USB, remove the battery for 3 sec, put the battery again and the device loads as usual. happened 3 times.

am i doing anything wrong ?
