I'm sorry for this post, because the answer is probelly somewhere on this forum. But I can't find it.

I have my diamond for about a year now and I like to install a custom rom with windows mobile 6.5. But I can't seem to figure out what I need for this.

I already chosen a rom, but I have no idea if it is any good, because there are so many roms out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=563245

So my first question, is this rom any good?

Second question, what type of hard SPL do I need, Do I need the normal one that requires roms to be signed or do I need the developers edition?

Third question. Do I need MTTY for this or can I first try it without MTTY?

And the last question, if I don´t like the rom is it easy to install the original rom again or do I need to do something special for that.

I hope you guys can answer my questions so I can start flashing my rom.

Grtz, Eric

EDIT: I tried installing hard-SPL unsigned, but get an error that it can't connected to my phone. But it is connected using windows mobile device center

why do you want to flash a new rom? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] miramele:
ive recenetly done the same, i wanted to flash my rom as the original was tied to vodafone and some of the features like youtube, facebook, and opera wouldnt work as they wanted vodafone connection ( im on virgin mobile).

anyway after much trial and error i in the end found it versy easy.

3 simple steps. first flash your bootloader

i found the best and easiest one was spl olinex version 4.0

u need to softboot to do this ( hold the down volume and switch on phone, have usb cable connected then use the flash util provided with the above.

once thats done you need to flash rom the radio

again the one out there that seems the best to use is version 1.00.25.05 diamondruu radio

again soft reset so you get the try colour screen and run the flash rom update ( takes about 2 mins at most)

finally choose your version of win mobile 6.5 ( i got windows revoluton 7.1 ultra clean edition)

do soft reset again, then run the flash update and again this takes about 5-10 mins for this)

all worked perfectly for me and it was my first try.

though i will be changing it as the revolution is missing some vital aspects i like.

i know its basic but hopeully you can see its not the daunting prospect some people make out though any rom upgrade carries a minot risk i found this to be as easy as 1,2,3

good luck
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] eric22269:
Because I would like some new features on my phone. Like wm 6.5 or a new version of manilla. It's getting a little boring having the same phone for over a year.

@miramele, thanks for your response. I'll give it a try tomorrow and hope I won't brick my phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] miramele:
let us know how you get on, it took me several attempts as each time i was trying while within the phone itself, if you hold the down volume key and power on the phone you get the tri colour screen, in this mode i had 100% success each time.

doing it within the OS with phone on it just stuck at 0%.

And since then i have re flashed it with a diff version of wm 6.5 that i prefer and all is good.

the version i flashed to is the manila 2.1 with the latest touchFLO 3d so ive not even bothered with Spb mobile shell though may add this later.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] eric22269:
Thanks for the advice, if I understand correctly I have to get to the tri-color screen and then install hard-spl? But can I connect to my laptop while in this mode?

I'm gone try it tomorrow because I didn't have any time today.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] eric22269:
Thanks for all the help, especially miramele.

I made the step and am now running a custom rom without any issues. Many thanks for the help and for pulling me over the line.

With 6.5 I can kick off VC either from a Bluetooth headset or the Call button on the PPC. But there are no icons which means I'm left with the default setup.

I have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2. I am told the GPS is unlocked .. and I thought this would be the challenge to adding GPS to this device. I checked into Garmin Mobile XT and TomTom Navigator 6.

I took a chance on TomTom Navigator 6, as it was only $25 from Amazon .. Well I got what I paid for, it does not even install to the device! The installer hangs very early on.

I would have preferred the Garmin Mobile Xt, except for the fact you cannot use your own memory card. I am also told a new version of Garmin Mobile Xt is coming, and Garmin does not do upgrades well, so I should wait for the new version.

So ... is there anything else out there that is worth trying? I considered Mobium, but I want to buy something outright, not pay a monthly fee.

Just Wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] louiscar:
Recently I've been having problems with my Kaiser connecting to my Wifi.

Here is what happens reliably (when phone on it happens more often):

1) Turn on wifi from comms manager (it searches relentlessly)

2) If I try to turn wifi off in command manager at this stage it hangs the comms manager - not even task manager will be able to close it down.

If I turn the phone off (button) then it won't turn on again till a soft reset.

3) soft boot or remove battery - Kaiser comes back with wifi connected immediately most of the time however, it can also come back still searching in which case repeat soft reset or hard reset.

4) Once connection is established - I can connect / reconnect ok till the device is turned off then it happens again. If phone is off it appears to happen more reliably but I've not tested this enough, it happens either way eventually.

So phone on is 95% reliable but can be ok for a couple of times.

5) Once the wifi is in search mode the comms manager is useless and this continues ad infinitum (any attempt to turn wifi off will hang CM) and always a soft boot will bring the device back with a connection established to my wifi point.

Here's what I've tried:

1) Soft boot / battery removal

2) Hard reset without restoring any kind of back up -ie virgin restart

3) Hard reset without allowing custom install of t-mobile software.

Details of my device:

1) T-mobile Win mobile 6 - original rom

2) Hard SPL : SPL-1.0 Oliprof (CPLD-8)

so the only thing I've done to this machine is installed Oli's Hard SPL.

It appears therefore that no software is causing the problem. I am wondering if there's a possibilty of the Hard SPL causing a problem through corruption or do I have a hardware fault with the radio?

I'd be grateful for any help on this as to what I should do next. Please don't tell me to load win6.1 as this worked fine till now so isn't the problem. The only thing I can think of is to re-do the hard spl.

EDIT: Well I've just reloaded Hard spl 1.0 and the problem is the same so I'm out of ideas.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
Just a few thoughts - although I do not have problems with my Kaiser, I have met problems with other folks.

1

Is the signal quality good - we know the range is not fantastic, so it's worth checking:

Start>Settings>Connections>Wireless Lan (Icon)>Main and look at the Signal Quality.

2

Start>Settings>Connections>Wireless Lan (Icon)>Power Mode(Tab) and change to best performance.

3

Does it do this with other networks? Don't rule out the Router creating difficulties.

4

Do you let the Kaiser go to sleep mode with wifi connected. If so I'd advise you terminate the connection in comm manager and turn off using on/off button rather than allowing auto sleep mode.

5

It might be better to allocate a fixed IP address rather than allowing the router to set it. Hangs can be created in the IP allocation stage.

6

Do you have any applications set to auto collect data? These could be weather apps, mail, time sync, quick GPS etc etc etc. If so you can try disabling those settings to ensure the crash is not a conflict between setting up the connection and simultaneous data collection.

These can be pesky problems to track down. I suspect that many of the above would be ruled out by your clean boot after a hard reset. If it always works initially after a hard reboot though, it does suggest that another app/process is interferring at a later stage.

Mike
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] louiscar:
Thanks Mike for your valued input.

Just to answer the questions:

1) Yes signal is excellent (I connect in 3 cycles of the animation plus after reboot it connects immediately)

2) I've tried these options - my current setup worked perfectly before, plus of course a hard reset and clean machine displays the same problems

3) I haven't tried on other networks but I've eliminated the router as the problem. I've tried dynamic / fixed - I normally allocate ip via the router plus lock down mac addresses. opened the system. However, this doesn't surprise me because I can cause this lock up without a connection. It's more rare but for instance, if I turn the phone on and delete my signin, normally this pops a dialogue asking which network to connect to. Sometimes that doesn't come up and it still hangs. It is more rare though.

4) No

5) yes tried all optons

6) No and especially not on a clean machine.

I've had the device for some time without any problems so something has changed quite radically which makes me think h/ware. If I were diagnosing this on a pc I'd be looking at both H/ware or a possible driver problem as it the network adapter is locking when it's accessed, however, on this device I don't see the logic of drivers unless they can somehow corrupt in rom even after a hard reset. Is that possible or heard of?

One observation is that when I get the hang and I try to look at the wifi settings I get the following message:

"To configure your wireless network, please enable your wireless network card".

This little clue seems to point at somethhing that's caused the adaptor to cease responding but somehow in the process locking the comms manager up (ie. if I goto comms manager and try to turn the wifi off, I'll get the spinner ad infinitum). Yet a reboot will kick it back into life again. And notably once it's running, and providing I don't switch the machine off, it'll work till the cows come home perfectly reliably.

I guess my question is whether there is any possible software cause that could exist AFTER a hard reset? Also the reliablity of this problem is enhanced considerably if 1) I have the phone turned on and 2) if I turn the machine off and back on and try to reconnect. Maybe that could indicate a power issue making the adaptor die I don't know what else would make the adapter lock up.

So far I've re-installed the (same) radio and Hardspl and neither of these have changed anything. I could of course go the final step and install the rom again but I haven't done yet as I wasn't sure what components other than the radio might be relevant in the rom.

Edit:

Just to clarify this: Wifi connects 90% after a soft boot initially. A hard reset makes no difference to the behaviour.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
It may be a hardware issue, but it would be last on my list of suspects. (I KNOW it must feel as if you have tried everything already – and I think perhaps you have!!!)

Just a couple of further suggestions – since I am certainly not sure where the problem lies.

Having done a Hard Reset, I would 95% rule out a software issue on the phone (though it is possible with corruption of original data – but a remote possibility I think).

I hesitate to suggest a router factory reset, but it may be worth trying.

Two more things to try:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4233158&postcount=20

I am curious about why having the phone enabled causes more crashes. Have there been any phone network changes in your area. It crosses my mind that there have been a few reports of wifi problems when 3G is being used. Perhaps you could, as a test, try limiting the phone to GSM only and then testing wifi:

start>settings>phone>band – set gsm on both drop down lists.

Ok trying to think of maybe using a custom rom to improve problems I'm having with a bunch of XDA Serra's. The main problems appear to be sending and receiving calls with intermittent problems such as the phone not ringing.

Can anyone advise of a rom that I could use. I have downloaded the new one supplied from O2 (Radio Sign 52.63.25.34 1.14.25.05) but not sure if there are better out there.

Thanks

Hi,

I've got a UK Vodafone Magic and just received the OTA Donut update today. However it seems to have broken the Google Search By Voice app, as I just seem to get a Force Close everytime I try to use it.

I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it but it still doesn't work.

Anybody got any ideas?

Cheers

[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] blackout_pt:
Same problem here mate! I've been playing around with donut for the last 3 days, but voice search is completely broken (not even there to be more precise). Just hope google provide us with a fix in the near future.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] CLLC:
Guys ,

theirs an updated version of Google search by voice on the market and it is now donut compatible :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] Xaroth:
Is there any way of getting Search by voice if it doesn't list on market? I'm on vodafone.nl and according to google themselves, voice dial/voice search is not available in my country.. which is a tad awkward due to laws regarding phoning while driving...

Seeing I can't find a working root guide for 1.6 using MarketEnabler is out of the question unless I roll back to 1.5, which in turn doesn't have the new search capabilities....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] bjtheone:
I can't help you with rooting a 1.6 phone, as I rooted at 1.5, but you certainly can root and then flash a 1.6 ROM. That is how I got Donut as my carrier still has not released it.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Chris1974:
I think I have found a solution to a problem I have been having for a while. I'm sharing it and hope maybe it can help someone else.

I have been finding .menc files on my internal storage for a while. If I transfer them from my internal storage to my computer (connected as external drive) I cannot open them anymore. If I change the filename the file does not work anymore. This is bugging me for a long time. If I transfer the files via activesync they come out again as the original file and can be used again. However, this is not an option when transfering large files.

I discovered that the .menc files are coded files. They get coded with a key that is stored hidden on the flash memory and if you lose your phone, or flash, or hard reset it, you lose the key and you will never be able to decript them! Ever!!!

There should be a setting in: start/settings/system/data encription, but on my diamond this is not present. In here you would be able to turn data encryption on or of for the removable data card.

I found out that the data encription is enforced by a policy that is pushed with MS Exchange 2007 policies. I managed to get rid of the enforced pin using "Zenyee stay unlocked" but I could not find out where to get rid of the mandatory file encription. But now I think I have found the key. It is just a simple registry key that needs to be changed:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\ENCFilt]

'EncryptByDefault'=dword:1

I have changed it to: 0 and now I dont get any .menc files anymore and can transfer files (connected as external drive) without screwing up my files with encriptions. So far it sticks after activesync-ing and soft resetting my device so I have good hope it is solved now!!! :D

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Chris1974:
Hey, good to see I was able to help someone.

Unfortunately I have seen that the encryption registry value eventually is returned to 1 by the security policy of MS Exchange. I have contacted the author of the Zenyee unlock program to include the registry key to stay at 0. He could not promise but is looking in to the subject.

Hi Chris

How do doing?

Thanks for your update.I will clearly explain wat was the problem.

My card is fully encrypted. Suddenly a day my touch screen was not wrking. So hard rest my mobile, tat day i was not notified my card.

Again wat i did was in a forum i read do ROM upgrade it may solve this problem. so i did it but not helped me and found its hardware issue. Then i checked my files in the card. I shocked all the files are in *.menc format :confused:. i tried many options but it not helped me :(. Then i read ur post tried to do that it is also failed.

Now tell me will it be de-crypt or not.

Wating hands closed for your reply :)

Tnks & Rgds,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Chris1974:
Sorry man, as far as I know there is no way you can recover the files after the device is hard reset. The codes needed for decription were on the phone and are now earased. I guess that is the whole point of the encription.

Sorry.

Hi,

I'm using the classic-messages view(not the conversation-view), and just noticed that the option to "Copy to SIM" has disappeared from the menu-options in text messages.

I remember it used to be there, but can't find it anywhere now.

I've tried right soft-key>options, as well as opening the messages and look for the option, but still no luck.

Could anyone help me with this? Any reg-tweak to re-enable the same?

I'm using BSB 6.5 ROM, but I doubt it is a ROM issue, since this option was there earlier.
