[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Kenn Lynch:
If you don't know where the reset button on the Pure is....

I suggest you familiarize yourself more with the basic functions of the machine before installing (bricking <BG>) a new Rom!

Read the Faqs, and Stickys, All the info is there, but you do have to dig in.

No one really wants to assume the liability of completely nursemaiding

someone who hasn't even tried to find out by reading the wealth of info on

this site.

Be that as it may I'll try to pay some of my Karmic newbie dues here <BG>

On the Pure, Compact V and Diamond 2 (All the HTC Topaz series)

the reset button is somewhat cleverly hidden in the stylus hole

When you remove the stylus you will see a red dot inside the opening

that is the reset "button"

If you gently push the red area you will hear a click and the machine

will "warm" reset . Try it, it will not hurt anything and actually should be done periodically to free up memory every now and then or if your Pure is acting sluggish.

ONLY After you reburn your ROM you will want to perform a "Cold" or Hard

Reset as well, (This clears additional system memory removes all installed software and re-initializes some of the internal parameters to default factory values even with a new ROM) This should only be done right after a new rom is flashed in or maybe if you have really hosed up your machine and wish to start from scratch.

To Perform a Cold Reset you press both Up and Down Volume buttons Simultaniously and then depress the Red (warm) Reset button described above (in warm reset)

The other special button sequence is used to enter boot mode and actually burn

a new Rom (After you've copied it to the Device)

Ths is done by first turning the device off,

hold the Power/Standby button (top of Phone) until unit is off

(not just standby) and then while still off

Depressing Vol Down button (just the the one button)

and then simultaneously pressinging the Power On button (hold them both a few seconds)

This will bring you to the famous Tri-colored Boot mode screen (you can't miss it)

This is one of the ways to start the actual Rom burn/Flash/installation but there are menu options here so you can bail out if you are not ready to burn at this time

What you really should consider is bringing up this boot screen

and reading the info on it (write it ALL down)

But specicically notice the number of the HSPL displayed.

The Stock ATT Pure will say HSPL 1.83.0000 (thats the locked OEM ATT HSPL) After you sucessfully burn your new HSPL

if you bring up this screen it will say HSPL 1.83.Olinex

That is what you need to see before you can burn a new ROM!

I suggest you bring up that boot screen familiarize yourself with it

It wont hurt anything.

(verify yours now says 1.83.000 and after HSPL install says 1.83.Olinex)

Another few Pointer for the Pure

You can "upgrade" the HSPL in one sitting, your machine will still run

after the HSPL has been upgraded. You can check it out and upgrade the Rom

at a separate time. (So you can exhale!<BG> if the HSPL "upgrade" was good)

Its been a while but I'm pretty sure the instructions did not require you to

Cold Reset the machine before upgrading either the HSPL or the Firmware

(but definately afterwards) And since I remember you needed a USB and internet connection you couldnt have deleted the Activesync partnerships

(which a cold reset does, Anyone?) Anyway Just follow the instructions!

Last note On the Pure

I could not install the HSPL until I loaded "enablerapinew.cab"

this file is mentioned in the Docs and available as a link in them

I'm fairly sure all Pures will need to install it on there device as well.

Good Luck

Like the original poster I also installed Dutty's HGR1 and love it

I did have some minor anomolies because I did NOT do a

Cold Reset AFTER originally installing the new Rom firmware.

Most have been solved by the Cold Reset and re-installation of all my

software (PIA but worth it) but there are still some very minor known bugs
