Many Thanks for the tutorial. I had a few problems to start with, but after reading again I managed to install HardSPL, Radio and ROM with no issues
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] EazyVG:
Excellent tutorial - clear and concise.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dta1974:
Great tutorial tnyynt,as always taking care of things ;) Are you going to start working on themes for this device as you used to do for Trinity?

Thanks.

Hi there. I'm trying to upgrade my diamond using this tutorial. Unfortunalety i'm having some strange (at least to me) problems.

I successfully managed to hardSPL my device to SPL-1.40.OliNex.

It reports this version of spl after reset+vol down.

What I can't do is upgrade radio/rom. I simply cannot run Custom RUU!

It sais:

---------------------------

DiamonCustomRUU.exe - Błąd aplikacji

---------------------------

Aplikacja nie została właściwie zainicjowana (0xc0000135). Kliknij przycisk OK, aby zakończyć aplikację.

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------

which means:

---------------------------

DiamonCustomRUU.exe - Application error

---------------------------

The application was not initialized correctly (0xc0000135). Click OK to finish the application.

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------

What's wrong? Was searching the forum for hours now... can't find a thing.

This thing happens with the DiamondCustomRUU.exe file supplied with the Ruu_Signed_Duttys_Diamond_5.2.20275_V1_8_Radio_1.00.25.07_Full, with the Diamond_Radio_1[1].00.25.07 and with the file from here. Appears to me it's the same file anyways.

Doesn't it run on Windows XP Pro SP2?

Help me out here PLEASE!

regards,

Ok. The answer to my problem was installing .net 3.5. Maybe this information should be added to the tutorial for newbs like me?

Hi

Sorry if I'm asking some obvious questions ....

If I have a Vodafone one with version ROM 1.93, is it worth putting this generic ROM on?

Do I gain any benefits?

I feel battery life is still an issue with Vodafone ROM 1.93.

Also can I revert back to Vodafone for Warranty reasons?

Thanks

unusual error

Hey there,

I just wanna say thnx for the tut, and i followed it to the letter, i flashed my DIAM130 to HardSPL v1.40, but when i try to load the hong kong signed ROM (using the unsigned or signed hardSPL) it goes to 1% then says invalid user ID. Even though the tut says that if this happens you don't have HardSPL...

Halp?

Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] njay22:
Thanks - awesome and simple guide.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] -Ad-:
A few problems, here is where I am so far. Firstly i have read the beginning of the thread and trawled the forms for the last 2 days.

HARD SPL = DONE and checked with soft reset and vol down.

Got dutty (http://duttythroy.net/download-area.html?task=summary&cid=104&catid=7) and downloaded the custon RUU from the link.

However I do it the custom RUU when clicked on always brings up an error straight away saying 'application failed to initialize'.

Tried to do the ROM update by putting dutty ROM in the hard SPL folder and flashing that way. It picks up his ROM and starts, the ignito then goes browny type screen and fades into nothing. A few mins later remaining off it springs up a 262 connection error on my pc screen. It cannot carry on and the ignito boots up normally with teh O2 crap installed.

Ideas :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dominique2222:
Thanks !

But I have a bug under win XP : the software does'nt want to work... Is it only designed for Vista?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] logger:
Nice Guide.

Have you considered adding the recommendation to do a Hard Reset after flashing a new ROM? Seems most Chefs recommend doing it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tnyynt:
No, since I do not share that belief.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] logger:
Fair enough. Its your guide to how you like doing it..

im having problems upgrading my radio, when connecting my phone asks if i'd like to continue and allow access to the updater, but when i click yes the phone restarts and the update loses connection. am i doing something wrong?

I have a connection problem ... "error 202" when i try to update hard-spl can anyone help me? active sync is running ok... any suggestions?

This is the link from a printscreen with the error... please help!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jms_uk:
Like other here, I thought I understood the instructions. I've got an Orange HTC Diamond SPL 1.37.000. Followed the instructions and downloaded Signed HardSPL 1.38 Olinex and 1.24 as I couldn't find 1.40 (probably using the search wrong)

Got the CustomRUU (is there another one I should be using?) and tried to update the SPL.. it sits there for a while, sticking at 0% like some of the other guys, then I get a connection Error 262.

To recap:

1) I tried HardSPL 1.38 Olinex signed.. and 1.24mfg is there another I should try?

3) The RUU reports that its updating to "1.00 Diamond" when I use this 1.38 file or 1.0.0.0 when using 1.24, is this correct?

3) Is this Error 262 even related to the version of HardSPL I'm using??

4) The guides and tutorials mention unzipping the SPL .nbh file to any folder, but the RUU can't find the file unless its in the same folder - is this correct?

Thanks in advance, I know others have asked these questions but the answers are very spread out and not all relate to the same problem

Tutorial great

Have spent many hours reading tutorial and building up courage to flash mda compact IV. Finally put Swiftblade v6.3 lite on phone last night with 1.00.25.05 radio. Can't believe how fast phone is now and how clear it is. Thanks for the tutorial - really did help a beginner like me. Whole process was quick and painless. Thanks again.

Had big smile smile all day !!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] barneyhaye:
Wouldn't I just love to...

tigerboy1,

That is exactly what I have been trying to achieve for the last few days. I have the same issue as reported previously in this thread that attempts to do DiamonCustomRUU or ROM are met with spectacular inaction.

I successfully did the Hard-SPL with OliNex, but running another upgrade just gets me to the grey screen where the percentage sits a 0% for ever. the upgrade GUI eventually times out, and removing power gives a graceful recovery (thank god)!

Did you need to remove SIMlock first, cos I got the impression that wasn't required?

Mine is a UK Orange P3700 with 1.37.405.1 WWE ROM, radio 1.00.25.03. Performance is poor, phone is poor, TFLO 3D is slow, battery life is a joke and you could fry eggs on the back cover. I'd go back to my Artemis with Touch 4.02 ROM if it wasn't for the bust screen sensors!

No, I actually really like this little brick, but I need it to work! Can anyone advise how to get my Diamond upgraded please? When I did the Artemis upgrades I had to work much harder at working out what to do and didn't have the great tutorial that is there for Diamond (thanks for that). But it worked in the end and I progressed through several ROMs. I've maybe been overconfident and missed a step, but I don't think so.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mic2074:
thx OP for the great tutorial... haven't tried updating my Diamond yet, as I don't know what's the most optiumal Hard SPL/RUU/ROM/ Radio to use. Could someone please advise what's the best to use ? My Diamond is straight from HTC, and I'm in Canada. THX.

Update ROM 1.93.707.1 WWE to ROM 1.93.412.1 ESN

Hola me gustaria saber si alguien me podria aclarar algunas dudas que tengo. Mi Diamond tiene la ROM 1.93.707.1 WWE de Asia y quiero pasarla a español, creo que la unica que viene en español es la 1.93.412.1 ESN. Mi duda es la siguiente, por lo que he leido no se puede hacer una adaptacion de la ROM en ingles a esta en español directsmente, seguramente me tira error porque es dintinto "code". Que deberia hacer?

ACLARO QUE MIS CONSULTAS NO SON POR ARAGAN SI NO ES PORQUE HE LEIDO VARIOS TUTORIALES Y THREAD ENTEROS DE DISTINTOS FOROS Y REALMENTE NO ENCUENTRO UNA RESPUESTA CLARA A MIS DUDAS. FOROS CONSULTADOS: HTCMANIA.COM, XDA-DEVELOPERS.COM, MODACO.COM, MODMYDIAMOND.INFO, HTCLIVE.ES, ETC.....

Preguntas:

1- Existen distintos SPL para cada idioma? Por ej. existe un SPL 1.93 para la ROM 1.93.707.1 y existe otro SPL 1.93 para la ROM 1.93.412.1, o es el mismo?

2- En caso de existir un SPL distinto para cada idioma como hago para cargar un SPL original (stock) distinto al que ya tengo en mi Diamond, para asi luego cargar la ROM correspondiente a ese SPL?

3- La solucion seria cargar un HardSPL 1.93 original (stock)? Este al ser original es signed (firmado) o tambien lo hay unsigned (no firmado)? Cuando se refieren a signed o unsigned, se refieren a firmados por HTC o a firmados por OLINEX, siempre hablando de SPL Stock (originales) osea para poder cargar ROM originales de HTC.

4- Y por ultimo y en conclusion, cual seria el procedimiento o los procedimientos posibles (en caso de haber mas de una alternativa) a seguir para mi caso, osea pasar mi ROM WWE (ingles)a la ROM ESN (español) y que quede la posibilidad de poder cambiar la version de la Radio (esto lo menciono por si sale una version de Radio que trabaje en 850/1900 MHz en 3G (Red HSDPA/WCDMA), ya que vivo en Argentina y aca las frecuencias de 3G son las mismas que en USA.

AGRADECERIA MUCHO QUE ALGUIEN ME AYUDE CON ESTAS DUDAS.

Hi

I'm trying to install Unsigned HardSPL 1.40 but I get a connection error. The phone is all synced up.

I get a message-box on the phone giving me two choices to alow or not alow the application to run on my phone.

Should I press yes or what? The guide say I should touch nothing!

Anything else that can be wrong?

Edit:

Saw the other guide and did press yes! ;)

All worked fine but it made a hard reset or something as well.

And how in the name of jesus do I exit the bootloaderscreen? Did take out the batery last time.

Edit2:

Did press the reset button and it worked fine.

Last question:

How do I test if the screen is working properly?

I think the screen flicker a bit.

Where can I find info on how to solve this problem?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] barneyhaye:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fdp24:
Factory SPL.

PLEASE DISREGARD MY LAST.

HAS BEEN SOLVED.

Hi,

Need to know how to return to factory SPL.

Because since hardSPL is flashed none of other SPL would flash on top.

It produces 1.40 OliNex at bootloader screen.

This has to be changed.

thanks.

I have the same problem as posted by Srpinteroze on the 2nd of Sept.

I unsim-locked my diamond with Olipro unlocker a couple onf weeks ago. It worked perfectly. I have a French version from Bouygues Telecom.

I tryed yesterday to download and install the new 1.93 Rom update from HTC, with my SN. Everything seems to work at the beginning, but when the progress bar appears, the installer always stays at 0%, and finally pops-up an error message 'unable to connect to the phone'.

I posted this question in the unlocker thread, and they told me this must be a HardSPL problem. Could anybody help?

UPDATE 19-09-2008 :

I upgraded the Hard-spool from 1.30Olinex to 1.40Olinex, and I was then able to install the new 1.93 Rom update from HTC. Everything now works fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] BOHICA2k8:
I can't run a single HardSPL on this phone for some reason. The 1.4olinex freezes my phone up everytime when it tries to load up the window asking if I want to install this. It just gets stuck on the color wheel trying to spin.

The jockyw 1.23 1.24 and 1.34 don't work under the cmd prompt in Vista, and when tried on XP it gets to the place where I hit continue on my phone and it freezes up as well.

I'm currently running the Diamond on Sprint Network hoping to get a new ROM from a Vista computer.

I have a problem.

installing unsigned developer hardspl takes only 10 seconds.. and i lost conection for few times. after that a reset but nothıng change:(

ıs ıt about cıd lock? how can i disable it?

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.

What is softreset and manually enter Bootloader?

Thanks

Upgrade

Well done friends, it really helped me, my french phone is now unning oe wwe thats great. many thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dreading:
One thought - it seems this thread includes both GSM and CDMA ROMS - you might want to put a strong warning that someone needs to verify that the ROM they are about to use to upgrade is the correct one. I've heard there's risk of bricking if someone tries to flash the wrong one (but I'm too much of an ignorant newbie to know whether this is true).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tnyynt:
By the time this tutorial was written, there was no CDMA version.

So, as for the rate of success with the CDMA version, both HardSPL and Radio/ROM, I can not comment on it! Act at your own risk!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dreading:
Wouldn't that be all the more reason to warn people about CDMA v. GSM?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danny6514:
i'm helping my friend upgrade his diamond...

i personally use Titan and it doesn't have this many SPLs...

on the diamond...the bootloader says these:

DIAM100 MFG 64M

SPL-1.24.Hard

MicroP-Diam (LED) v11

PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30

What confuses me is the word "hard"...so...meaning it already has HSPL...but it seems to not have olinex at the end..

sorry im new to the diamond

should I just go ahead and upgrade to olinex's developer HSPL?

what about flashing rom & radio together?

Damn, I never thought of this - neither found the response in this thread or the search engine is not considering '+".

Gonna do my 100th flash or so (exagerating a bit) , but I want to f

lash the rom and radio in same time

as new approach.

Never done it and even not know if it is OK not to brick the device:

Plan to run the RUU and put the Rom AND seperated radio .nbh in same file...

What will happen? Anyone tried if both will be flashed respectively- or is it still required to flash them each apart?

Could not find such an answer in any flashing guide... strange :o

Hi! I have a question:

I have an MDA Compact IV, which is the same as Diamond, it's not mine, it's from a friend who bought it from someone. When turning on, it shows:

R 1.20.OliNex

G 52.26.25.09

D 1.37.00.00

So, it's been made the hard-spl already right? I wish to flash with an official rom from Diamond, is there any problem to flash with this one? RUU_Diamond_HTC_PTG_1.93.410.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] undergrounddemand:
As far as I know, there's no language pack, you need to update with an English ROM, like I did on my Cruise. You need to do the hard-spl first (if you haven't already).

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cozzykim:
How Risky

Please don't flame me guys, I've searched and read the U/G threads and TUTs for several days before asking this question.

Expert considered opinion please

How risky is it to U/G my radio ROM without HardSPL, I don't really want to HR to install HardSPL unless *absolutely* necessary.

I have 1.00.25.05 and I want to try 1.00.25.BS14 to see whether it improves GPS fix times as reported.

Thanks

Kim

EDIT: Read the TUT again (and again) and figured that I had no choice, I *had* to U/G to HardSPL before I could flash new radio anyway DOHH!!

All done and working well, thanks

Remove battery for 1 minute then turn on, after that install a different Hard SPL, 1.93 work fine for me.

Hello,

does the phone hard reset when installing Olinex? I wanted to install another radio and read it wont reset then, but I first need an unsigned SPL and did not find the answer if it does reset when installing olinex.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cozzykim:
Yes it does HR when installing the new Hard-SPL but not when upgrading the radio

i am really new on all these!!! Thank you very much for this tutorial....

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mcgeownr:
I have followed the tutorial to the letter and very successfully. I have only done the Hard-SPL and the Radio.

There seems to be an issue with the screen, the same as BlueTwo mention a fews pages ago. After hard reset it seems to flicker for a few minutes, then seems to calm down and stop.

Anyone else noticed this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rkde:
mine is flickering all the time and I cant change the SPL from spl-1.40.olinex am I being stupid here how do I change to another SPL? I have tried running another it gets to the bar and flips from 0 - 100% but it has done nothing and left the old spl on...

I have tried to find SSPLManual.exe but can't as I can't see it, i could be looking in the wrong place? when I put the device into stand by and back on this stops the flickering, but I would like to know how I can change my SPL again.

Good instructions though, fist time in 6 years I have had problems flashing :( must be age now!

I have the radio and the rom I want so if you know how to solve the SSPL or SPL flickering problem please inform me

Any ideas

Thanks again
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Trixster101:
Can I clarify something here pls?

I have searched but not found an answer that puts my mind at ease, my Diamond is already sim-free as std so I assume that this means it has no CID lock on it as it was marketed for all operators.

Do I need to HardSPL my phone in order to install a different ROM or can I just drop one on it using the RUU exe file that comes with the ROM's??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mcgeownr:
A great success...

I was very concerned about updating the ROM's on my Touch Diamond, but i really wanted to do it.

Reading this tutorial has really helped. It was confusing to start, but im now upgraded to:

ROM Version: 1.93.405.1 WWE

Radio Version: 1.00.25.05

Protocol Version: 52.29.25.12H

Hard-Spl: 1.40 Olinex

All working well. It also cleared a flickering screen issue i had when i first upgraded to HardSPL
