Got it!

I read here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=409425

and as suggested, looked for developer edition SPL.

I found 1.93 Onelix here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2312363&postcount=2

installed. Then Radio which I mentioned earlier was installed successfully.

Now I am almost 50% done with Dutty's ROM!

It's my first time to update to cooked ROM, so I am quite excited.

Hope there won't be any issue with it!

Thank you for your tips!

Ken:)

Dutty was a great diamond rom cooker and i have use his last rom before he moved on to the HD. you should not have any problems with that rom. some of the newer ones from other cooks are also great with some speed inprovments along with newer applications. good luck to you with flashing, xda is a great place to learn!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jackdiamond20:
disappointed

thanks for your help, unfortunately it didn't work, the error/recovery message appeared. I couldnt find the place in vista to change any settings for the active sync, i just closed all the programs for it and made sure any syncing was turned off. I did get the usb at the bottom of the bootloader screen, however it never made any progress past 0% like before.

any other ideas?

Error [202]: Connection Error

Hey,

I have tried using this guide, and always have the same problem: An Error [202]: Connection Error

1. Download OliNex Unsigned Hard-SPL (Developers Edition) from here;

2. Unzip the files from the archive to any new folder;

3. Run the executable (in most cases it is ROMUpdateUtility.exe, but it also can be ROM.exe or any other name, recognize it by the icon);

4. If you understand the caution and risks, check the box and click Next;

5. Read carefully and follow all directions;

6. If you completed all steps indicated, check the box and click Next;

7. Next screen will show current version on device and by clicking Update you will see the version to be flashed;

8. Click Next when ready;

9. Your device might ask you for confirmation on launching a program. Just tap Yes! Your device will display a completely black screen. A Progress bar will appear on your computer screen. Be patient while your device is being updated. Do not interact with device in any way, do not unplug cable, do not turn off device or computer!

10. When upgrading is finished, your device will automatically soft reset. Click the ‘Finish’ button to exit the RUU.

The device is connected with ActiveSync, I can browse the contents of the phone, the ActiveSync symbol in the task bar is green and at step 7 it shows my current Rom version.

Then when I click Next (step 8) my phone does nothing. No ask for confirmation, no black screen, and the progress bar on the computer stays at 0% and the Error [202] message appears shortly after.

Replies #67, #156, #173 and #175 also seem to be having the same problem. I have tried installing NetFramework 3.5 as suggested in #177 but this has not solved the problem.

Is there any one who is able to help, and offer any advice please? Thanks in advance.

Regards,

MBGM8

Ok, I tried running this from my old laptop and it seems to have worked a treat. I am not sure why it didn't work from my PC as both are running XP and both have the same connection settings etc. Now just need to find a good ROM!!

Hi,

Could somebody tell me if 1.93 is the latest Hard-SPL version available for HTC Touch Diamond or are there some newer ones?

Are these Hard-SPLs to be used with HTC Touch Diamond (e.g. Hard-SPL-2.10)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
Absolutely NOT, those for the hermes device. I have HARD SPL 1.93 . Not aware of any new ones. It's the one most of us here are using. SPL's versions don't have to match Hard SPL versions.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] imatrix:
have u tried to disable "Enable advanced network functionality" under Settings -> Connections -> USB to Device.

Dont know if it works though. have a go!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Lorsaaa:
Sorry for the stupid question, but I was wondering something.

I know it is very recommended to hard-reset after flashing a ROM, how about flashing a Radio? Also recommended to hard-reset after, or not really necessary? Will be flashing a Radio first time today ^^

Edit: nvm, Sorry!

I somehow missed this post when reading through earlier:

Guess Ill be fine without one then :) That's a relief
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lutent:
Hello,

I already asked this more or less in an own thread, however this seems to be somhow ignored, so I hope to get more answers here :).

First of all do open/non-locked Diamonds also need the HardSPL or can they be flashed with their default SPL as well?

Secondly, if the former is possible - respectively after having installed the "modified" SPL (HardSPL) - can all ROMs be installed from the internal memory as described in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3483045&postcount=229?

As far as I have read, the radio drivers are not necessarily part of a new ROM but often need to be installed manually (why, out of curiosity?). Would this be like a regular ROM upgrade and can be done from the internal memory too or is it different?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
All devices need a Hard SPL if you're going to flash ROMs and Radios regardless of their Locked or unLocked status.

ROMs often are created without the Radio included because Radios are a user preference.

Both ROMs and Radios can be flashed internally. As mentioned in my pervious post, Roms must be Hard Reset after the initial install while radios don't have too.

These are not consider Regular Rom upgrades but rather Cooked Roms which are faster & customized beyond a regular ROM....

Battery now losing charge afert HardSPL

Hi Guys, great guide.

I installed the Hard SPL as instructed in page 1, as I intend to put on the newest official ROM. In boatloader it shows its installed. However, after the new HardSPL was installed (which seemed to install very quick :confused:) the bettery will now only last a rediculous 6 ish hours! Without any use!

Do I need to install a new ROM to fix this? My bettery was about 60% charged when the new SPL was installed, after it showed 100% :confused:

Im currently on : -

Rom version - 1.93.405.1 WWE

Rom Date 08/06/08

Radio Version - 1.00.25.03

What the newest officail ROM I can install?

Thanks for any help as Im having to charge all day :(:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lutent:
So the default SPL always verifies the vendor ID, making the modified SPL always necessary?!

A side question, apart for the signed/unsigned checks why are there different HardSPLs out there? Shouldnt they all do the same like the original SPL without the vendor ID checking?

Is there a reason why they can be a user preference, wouldnt the latest version always be the recommended one?

Thanks, good to hear, so basically only for flashing the SPL one needs ActiveSync, or can this be done via the internal memory as well?

This is something I have been always confused about. What exactly is a hard reset? A soft reset is a simple reboot AFAIK, I always thought a hard reset is a reboot not by software but by powering off and on. But then it seems a hard reset is rather bringing the system back to the original ROM installation. So two similar terms mean different things (soft = reboot, hard = resetting the system itself), is this correct?

Thanks very much.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
Modifiying your SPL is only necessary if you plain to Flash Radio's & Roms. Not necessary for most Apps. There are different Hard SPL's out there because Idealistically it is recommended to match your original SPL but many are realizing that that is not necessary the case. So when possible try to match your original SPL, if it doesn't exist then use the latest one.

No...not all the time. Radio's don't work like that. Some radio's work best in different areas. It's best to test at least the 5 most popular ones in your around to finalize a choice.

For Hard SPL......active sync is required. Flashing Radio's and ROM's are recommend by the Internal way.

Yes, a hard reset is bring the device back to it's manufactures default....Correct!

Several ways to perform a hard reset. (here is one way)

Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage (clear storage only=devices main storage. Not 4GB internal storage)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lutent:
Thanks very much again band27.

Just one last question to confirm/correct, the tricky/dangerous part is flashing the SPL, not the Radio or ROM. If the latter aborts reflashing is no problem, the former makes it unbootable. Is this correct?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
No....if the Hard SPL fails to boot, just follow the instructions on screen as it will instruct you on how to get out of an unsuccessful flash. Everything will boot fine.

Hope this all helped!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lutent:
I guess this was a misunderstanding, because this is what I believe to have understood.

The important part is having a successfully installed SPL, then the Radio or ROM flashing can even abort as you can always restart again, right?

Yes, thank you very much, now I believe to understand it a bit more.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
Well the whole point of Hard SPL is so that it doesn't brick your device so you should be good regardless of what happens. I've not gone through many problems through many journal of Radios and ROMs. I learned most of my stuff from reading and from Trial and Error.

Keep me posted on your ventures. Good luck, you'll be fine!

ROM Update for Diamond with NO 3G

I've my Diamond from China Mobile and it doesn't have 3G. Can I update the ROM to an English version ??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] imatrix:
before u begin, please identify your device whether GSM or CDMA model. keep in mind, most tutorials like in this particular topic is not for CDMA user.

your device must be first HardSPL, then u can flash it with a cooked ROM.

On the topic 2G/3G model, I dont know much about it. There is a topic discussing Indian 2G network, pls search for it.

Do I need to hard reset after changing radio?

Hi, I have 1.00.25.05 currently installed on my diamond. I am thinking of trying out .23 radio. If I change the radio, do I have to hard reset my device or not? I prefer to avoid having to install all my programs from the scratch.

Regards,

K

---

I found it's possible and I have changed from 05 to 23. Reception is better. I couldn't use tomtom in my room with .05 but now I can. Strange but the whole system seems a lot quicker in response.. I wonder if it's only my device.. or is that the reason why there are .23 users than .05? I am curious how long the battery would last with .23.

My device: SPL-1.37.OliNex [D.E.], 1.00.25.23, The last of Dutty ROM.

Another important thing.. I live in Amstelveen, Nederland.

My batter last barely one day, even with only 1 hour intense usage. And I am setting everything I can to save energy (backlight, try to remove unnecessary process running withing memory cleaner, tweaks). I have bought 1350maph battery, but still eats up quickly. Is it the SPL? Anybody got any clue?

Regards,

K
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
It is unnecessary to hard reset after flashing a radio. Rom's are a different story...:)

Hi,

I just purchased my phone recently and have started messing around with the basic things to do with a phone (wallpapers, rings, etc). That lasted a week until I heard of xda and found out about the Diamond TF3D config app available here which I am a fan and user of. Very recently I have wanted to go another step further but could not.

I tried to follow the guide in post #1...

I think I just realized I need to unlock my phone? I could not follow the guide as nothing would work. My phone is connected through the Active Sync. It shows up initially when I run the OliNex Unsigned Hard-SPL (Developers Edition) or the Custom RUU applications. As soon as i tell it to install it thinks for a few seconds then says it cannot connect to my device. Amy I missing something?

Do I need to unlock my phone? I am not asking how, I can ask my provider that question. Just wondering if that is the root of my issue, as I really want to start trying some of the rom creations on the site here. (not really sure if its legal in Canada to unlock phones, I just know it happens.)

Phone specs:

Purchased: March 2009

Model: HTC Touch Diamond

Carrier: Rogers Canada

OS: Windows Mobile 6.1

-CE 5.2.19965.1.2.3

ROM version: 1.93.631.8 WWE

ROM date: 10/30/08

Radio version: 1.00.25.06

Protocol version: 52.31.25.13H

Thank you for any help, I feel stuck...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
First but the phone into bootloader (Soft Reset:Red button with stylus...and then immediately press volume down) hold vol. down until you see a rainbow screen. The plug your device into your computer and you should see at the bottom "Serial" change to "USB" the run your RUU_ hard SPL 1.93......

Once your done, soft reset again to get out of that screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] carbonPrime:
thank you for the reply. I have tried your suggestion but still no success.

1. I was able to put my phone into the bootloader (rainbow screen).

2. Seen the work SERIAL change to USB when I plugged it into my pc.

3. Ran the HardSPL ROMUpdateUtility.

4. It shows my current version as nothing (blank).

5. It then offers image version 1.40.OliNex

6. I let it try to update and it sits at 0% (I think I seen a post about that, I am gonna read it after this post.) I do se the progress bar on my pc and my Diamond.

I'm using the HardSPL PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.27.4.3 found on these forums... any other ideas? I really am hoping to try some of the creations by the wizards here at xda.

Thanks,

But most of the cooks do not indicate CDMA or GSM for their rom, so very high risk of bricking.

Hi everyone!

I've just followed this tutorial and it is great! but still a question... :)

I had a branded version of the Diamond ( Vodafone NL ). Vodafone loves breaking great working devises and thats why i would like to install the original HTC rom.

After some searching in this forum i found one, but it does not entirely meet my needs. Can someone tel me how i can find a original HTC rom on this forum ( or how to download at HTC.com, you need a serial to download.)

I hope someone can point me in the right direction :)
