[General Questions and Answers] iorga1:
hi guys

i read many times the docs.

i think i should need to flash my diamond (awful movistar 7 spain theme).

first, the phone:

1.93.621.2

1.00.25.05

52.29.25.12W

MODEL ID: DIAM300 (I READ THAT MOST OF THE DOCS WERE FOR THE DIAM100 SO I HAVE DOUBTS HERE)

and the SPL is the 1.93.0000 ... so ...here are my doubts:

should I hardSPL to the 1.93 provided in the forum in order to get one of the ROMS available?

I m not sure... will I notice any difference, and MORE OVER: may I notice improvements or "deprovements"

Then, another one: for the diamond, I went to the HTC site and tried (I had to!) their last update, entering my phone serial number: no chance, as expected, it is not supported/available.

So I should try to flash the ROM.

But i m a bit scary, i haven t found any changelogs and no one speaks of the last ROM version (2.x).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=415192 What is Dutty? is it a cooked ROM? is there a risk here?

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=418320 for the VIC diamond based on the HTC official release (16/1/2009)

http://www.hnkweb.com/2009/01/26/optimizar-la-htc-diamond/ > they mention the DRK 3.4 but again, no changelogs, I have no idea...

I wish I could know if the theme is the original HTC black-based one and if the icons can be easily changed, also if the menu bar has sliding effects. (just examples).

So my questions, are, if you allow them:

- having SPL 1.93.0000 by default, should I flash it by a 1.93 by olinex?

(i read the 1.40 olinex was signed and secure, but I can t find it anymore- now i m not sure whether 1.40 is older than 1.93, as sometimes version numbers are not significant).

I know it is highly recommended to flash hardSPL before doing anything. "It is highly recommended to install hacked bootloader Hard-SPL before attempting any ROM upgrade." seen here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_Upgrades

- if 1.93 is by olinex, is it signed or unsigned? will i risk to decrease global performances of the Diamond if I install it?

as for the ROMS:

i haven t found the last ones.

I d like an "official one", (as opposed to a cooked one), really close to the 16/1/2009 release from HTC. ideally a shipped full ROM version.

I don t mind it is not in spanish. Actually, I do prefer in English or French.

Where can I get a list of updated (2.x) full shipped ROM versions based on the HTC update of 16/1/2009?

Cooked ROMs available for your Diamond

Version	Language	ROM	Date	Radio	CE OS	ROM Version	AKU	Forum	Mirrors	Misc

this is either not full shipped, either an unknown version for me...

:(

i m a bit lost.

i read here http://www.hnkweb.com/2009/01/26/optimizar-la-htc-diamond/ A fecha actual os voy a recomendar una: la DRK 3.4. Es una ROM basada en la versión oficial 2.03.412.1, liberada el 16/01/2009. but did not find the DRK in the cookded versions list... and it needs an unsigned hardSPL. HELPPPPPP

another one: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1051363&postcount=185 it says if the device is CIDLOCKED. my phone company (movistar) is not listed here... Is my phone CID locked? I think so. But in practice, what is the problem for me?

Many thanks for your patience and great job done here.

EDIT:

"DIAM300 Users: We need someone to test these ROMs, so any guinea pigs please test but first backup current ROM."

I used sprite backup to backup the ROM? was it the ROM? (I think so, but i have doubts) it was a pkb file if not wrong, now a sprite extract mobile .exe)
