Hi again Bruce!

Just came to thank you one more time and to confirm that i could flash succesfully the latest HTC Diamond 2's Official ROM on my HTC Pure without any issues, despite of being devices with different GSM network frequencies.

Radio appears to be working very nice: 3G, wi-fi, bluetooth, etc, all tested. Maybe it works better than the Pure's stock ROM.

I report this also to aim other HTC Pure's owners to do this upgrade, it's a great step forward.

All knowledge credits to Bruce Innman, he really knows what he says!.

Cheers!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] TraceG:
+1 for Bruce's knowledge base! He's been posting some VERY informative items over at HTC-Pure.com's Forum .. things like "Flashing HSPL", "Why Flash", "Registry Edits" and "Radio ROMs"!

Ya'll should check it out @

http://www.htc-pure.com/htc-pure-reviews-and-video/

It's in the Member's Only area so you do have to take 3 minutes and register, but I think it's worth it! He has laid it all out in plain language and condensed MANY pages of information here to easy to read stuff there. Think he deserves LOTS of props for helping people freely on multiple Forums!

That's great, I'm glad everything worked out for you.

Thanks Bro.

installing another rom

hiiii

i have instaled rom after hardSPL 1.83

my question is.if i want to install another rom then do i need to HARDSPL again?

pls help me
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bruce Inman:
No, but you do need to upgrade your HSPL to 2.51 to have the latest compatability.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] littld:
I can't use Hardspl - when I download the zip file Windows or Winrar can't extract it. Is it possible the file can be found somewhere else please?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] snailspeeder:
Thank you for the guide, I want to start flashing soon, but just a question about the PIN CODE as mentioned in the above step...is that a PIN I choose, or one that is specific for the phone? Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] blacky5:
Please check your antivirus. I had the same problem and had simply to disable the "auto-protect" mode, so your AV software isn't blocking/quarantine suspiciuos files live.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bruce Inman:
I have detailed instriuctions and files here.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bruce Inman:
PIN is only if you use one yourself.

@Drag-On, sorry Bro, I don't mean to highjack your threads, just bored.

Flash HardSPL - Error [260] : CONNECTION

Trying to flash Topaz-HardSPL_V5_00R5 (183HSPL) on an HTP Pure branded AT&T. Have never flashed hard SPL to this or any other phone.

Successfully connected via WMDC and performed a sync to PC (Windows 7 Ultimate x64). Verified internet on PC and phone (the instructions weren't 100% clear about which unit had to be connected--guessing PC). Switched PC to performance mode to disable sleep & hibernation. Temporarily disabled EST NOD32 A/V.

Had connection problems from the first after choosing automatic mode. Instructed to do another sync. Did it to no avail. Following further instructions, I downloaded & installed enablerapinew.cab. After pressing restart and waiting a couple of minutes, I was able to get to the RGB screen on the phone. However only two of the four sections had text before I got another connection error (this one numbered 260). Pressing OK made the PC flash tool go away. The phone was stuck, but a soft reset resolved that.

I started again, but selected manual mode this time. It asked me if I wanted to update my old ROM with a new one. I answered 'yes'. Eventually got the same error message as before and the same 4-way screen with 2-way data (see below). It is stuck (actually pending abort awaiting user input) in PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.27.4.3. On the phone is the following:

Red Area: TOPA210 MFG 32M

SPL-5-.01.C-SSPL

MicroP Topaz (LED) v11

TURBO HW/TURBO SW

Green Area: TP MFG DATA

516,550 201,886

201,208 813,209

833,887 Callibrated

Blue Area: <blank>

White Area: <blank>

Any ideas will be appreciated. I did search this thread and a couple of others that popped up from forum search, but have found nothing directly pertaining to this particular error on this particular tool.

I wonder if the process has gotten far enough that it can be finished using the SD card method? (Not something I'd want to try without the OK from someone who knows what they're talking about.)

HTC PURE from China

I am new in this HTC world. I am form Brazil and I bought a HTC Pure (T5588) from china... But I saw some people here having problems with installing HARDSPL 1.83 on HTC PURE from ATIT. Will I have problems like this with my HTC Pure from China? I am scared because I want to flash my rom, but I dont know if this process will brick my mobile phone in case of something get wrong. I'd be glad if anyone answer my question.

My phone will arrive tomorow.....:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bruce Inman:
First, you will have to make sure you phone is not a clone.

If its a T5353, you will have to look at the clone thread for flashing instructions.

If its not, you won't risk bricking your phone, worse case scenario is it just won't work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] thiagooo2006:
thank you bruce for answering my question... my phone is coming, but when I bought it, the seller said me that it is from htc line. I am looking for information in google, but when I typed this model (HTC T5588), i saw that it probably may be a clone of HTC PURE (AT&T PURE). well, do you know if there is any htc pure from china??? if it is a clone, can I flash htc roms on my clone??? Thanks again...

Hello guys

Im from Indonesia, and Im new on ppc and HTC, I bought second topaz fr someone, right now I want to upgrade room with energy room and im spending my night with searching in this XDA forum (so tired…). I found spec of my topaz:

os version 5.2.21907(21907.5.0.93) --> WM 6.5 right? It just 6.5 or 6.5.xxx plz tell me..

manila version 2.5.20161332.0 --> sense 2.5 ver 2016? And what is 21907(windows ver?)

rom version 26 jun 2010 wwe --> wwe means asia english right? Or wrong?

rom date 11/20/09

radio version 4.49.25.91 --> radio (I think its up to date, and stable wrong?)

In tri coloured screen i found

TOPA100 32M --> (dont know)

SPL-2.51.01.Olinex --> hardSPL olinex up todate

MicroP–Topaz (LED) v10 --> (dont know)

TURBO HW/ TURBO SW --> (dont know)

TP MFG DATA

504,546 174,878 --> (dont know)

179,214 831,212 --> (dont know)

830,880 Calibrated --> (dont know)

My new sdcard 8GB

I had downloaded energy room (Energy.TOPAZ.21911.Sense2.5)not 23673 and i found 2 file (TOPAIMG.nbh and Topaz_SoftwareUpgrade.exe), based on your article and forum if i want to upgrading, the steps :

1. i see SPL 2.51. olinex so i dont have to hardSPL again right? Or i should?

2. PC sync

3. copy TOPAIMG.nbh to root folder.... method 1

4. if go with method 2, i got confused with statement :

“Once you have downloaded your chosen ROM, make sure you have the following files: TOPAIMG.nbh and TopazRUUWrapper.exe”. should i download TopazRUUWrapper.exe or i just execute Topaz_SoftwareUpgrade.exe, if yes then method 2 can execute..

5. hard reset...

Another question,

1. if want to UG radio, is it like installing a program after instal windows? Or before?

2. is WM included in cooks rom, or is it just a fine tuning, what if a file in WM is corrupt or missing? Where to find OS WM? In windows 7/vista is a clean install if something bad happen

3. where to find official rom/ stock rom, is it deleted after flashing? (Coz right now i use windows default coz sense not loading when booting --> not shown today screen

I found in start --> setting --> today --> items

Thats some questions i want to ask to all of you, forgive me if my english not good and to many questions to ask, coz im very very very new at this, and im so tired searching, plz tell me step by step if there is something wrong, i will appreciate it.. ty
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bruce Inman:
@alons09

First I applaud you for doing your research and for good English.

To be brief;

Your device is on the latest WWE (World Wide English) 6.5.3 21907 (Start menu button at top left) with the latest Sense 2.5.2016XXXX. 23XXX ROMs have the bottom left start menu button.

You have the latest HSPL version and I'm guessing you're on a cooked ROM although I do not know which one (who cooked it).

The easiest way to flash is from your desktop.

So, with the Energy ROM files you downloaded, just make sure they are in the same folder and with your device sync'd, run the .exe. Then follow the onscreen instructions. (The Topaz_RUU_Wrapper.exe is probably the same file as the Topaz_SoftwareUpgrade.exe that you got with Energy's ROM. I don't use his ROMs so I don't know how he packages them.)

For Radio upgrades, it is the same as a ROM, although you don't need to hard reset afterwards and it will not wipe your data. Just go to the Topaz Radio ROM thread and search comments for users in your region. I am not certain if you are CID unlocked, meaning you can flash radios from other devices, so I would stick with the Topaz Radios. You may find better results with the 4.49.25.17 Radio, but it varies by region.

WM is the base for ALL Topaz ROMs, HTC Sense is an add-on. If your Sense is not booting, doing a hard reset should bring it back. You probably have another program or tweak interferring with it.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] alons09:
Thank you Bruce, its a great explanation from you, i just hardreset device and yeah its working,back to normal again, and thanks to this thread creator for giving a great step by step information, keep up the good work bro...

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Frosticle:
Hi,

I do find this guide to be well written and seems to be easy to understand.

But i am having a problem, could not find a spesific thread that had a solution for this.

I am trying to flash the energy rom and following happends:

When trying to copy the Img file to my Fat32 formatted SD card then turn off - Hold lower volume and boot the bootloader it just says "loading...." It never goes any further.

Then tried to flash it directly from my windows 7, same thing happends. It shuts down and enters bootloader with "loading..." then it disconnects since it cant communicate while loading is there.

At one point i managed to get a progressbar but it never passed 0%

Have tried to run the HardSPL program but it just says that its allerady done.

Any ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Bruce Inman:
You cannot flash a ROM until you've installed HSPL..

Have a look at the link to my guides in my signature for HSPL instructions, different methods of flashing, etc.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] arrow-sulu:

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding downgrading from winmo 6.5 back to 6.1.

I'm about to buy an HTC Touch Diamond2 which has winmo 6.5, and I'd like to revert it back to the original 6.1 rom it came with.

Is this possible, and if so can anyone explain to me how?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Erik
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tlsty:
hi Erik,

actually pretty easy stuff. Which language do you use? If it is WWE (world wide english) it is very easy:

1. get the last WM61 ROM available for your phone (if you don't have it and do not know where to find it, I will give you some hints :cool:)

2. use PIM backup (same as above) to backup everything necessary + move relevant stuff from phone to card storage (possibly some private ringtones, document files, PICTURES, etc.)

3. charge the phone (people say at least to 60%, I say to max, as one never knows how old is the battery - because even if the charging light is on during the flashing, the phone might not be charging the battery)

4. connect phone to PC (this is really well step-by-step described in the text doc of the flashing file - exe with all the necessary stuff inside)

5. run the program - flash the phone (DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE FROM PC AND MAKE SURE THAT THE PROCESS WILL NOT BE INTERRUPTED, AS YOU MIGHT BRICK YOUR DEVICE)

6. hard reset i necessary (chefs recommend to do so, Stock ROMs do not necessary require it i guess)

7. after several steps/restarts (automatic by the phone) it will become flashed :)

i do not have much time right now, but if you will feel not confident about this - let me know. I did not apply HSPL to my phone yet - but I flashed my device with all the new stock ROMs as they became available. It feels pretty awkward when you do it for the first time - just like sex :D

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] La_Globule:
Hello,

Excuse me if it's a stupid question but...

I'd like to install a new ROM on my Orange branded Topaz.

I've understood that I need first to flash the HSPL using Olinex (long !) thread.

This operation involves sending my IMEI to Olinex site to check the number of "licences" used.

And this is the problem : I don't want my IMEI being sent and stored somewhere on the Internet even if they say that it won't be used for any reason.

So my question is : is there a workaround to flash HSPL WITHOUT Olinex' mechanic ?

Thanks for your answers.

Hi Guys

I'm new to Topaz section, i tried HD mini for a week but i really needed a wvga screen..

Now i downloaded HSPL but when i tried to install it, it gave me that "commercial" error. The thing is, besides de HD mini, i've never flashed any HTC device with this laptop. I've been an advanced WM user with samsung devices @ modaco and now i wanted to taste an HTC but it's getting kinda hard eheh.

Can someone enlighten me?

Cheers

[G1 Android Development] BitPlacebo:
Cyanogenmod version 4.2.3 then 4.2.4 were running great on my G1 for a couple of weeks. Recently, I noticed the Cyanogenmod Updater saying the 4.2.5 stable was available. I went ahead downloaded it, did a Nandroid backup and then flashed it. However, on reboot, the Android splash screen kept freezing then trying the reboot. I could not get past this screen. I tried reflashing a couple of times with the same frozen results.

I did a factory reset. I can fully reboot, but now it appears I have regressed back to Kernel version 2.6.29. I also, don't think I have root anymore since I tried to sudo on terminal and it told me I don't have permission. What happened?

When I go to recovery mode, (pwr + home) I get a triangle with an exclamation point. I get the "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" I only have four options: reboot system, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition.

I'm guessing that Apps to SD is not working because I might have some vanilla recovery image taking over that is not Cyanogenmod so it does not see the cache on the SDCard partition that I have.

I also noticed that I can get the "Fastboot" screen if I do the Pwr + Camera btn. I've seen posts that I should be able to get everything back that way, using but I haven't found a step-by-step on how to use if for noobs.

Can anyone suggest how I can get back everything? I still have all my data including backup files and apps on the sdcard.

Thank you.
