If you still want to update your diamond, they have plenty of threads about it in Raphael or Blackstone sections which are the same builds with different startup.txt

=================================================================================================

you can grab the build of 04 jan 2010 in my 4shared folder: techunter.4shared.com

=================================================================================================

Now a little explanation on how I proceeded:

3ways of doing it:

I/ Compile it yourself

-> not enough time didn't even tried but you can try here

II/ Download latest image

The packs you can have from sites are generally a stable android release. All the zImage and modules on msm-htc-android sites are all development packs, so choose wisely. Last update doesn't mean best update!

Prerequisite: create a dir name (for example) eclair_fs.

You can also put a Light Rom to make it boot faster or THIS ONE from yozgatg

a)===================

get the build package here:

Quoting this post (again its the main post for the Raphael/Blackstone/DIamond):

extract all in eclair_fs/ on your hard drive

b)===================

(Optional if your package in a) already has the zImage) get the zImage here:

(autobuild files, thx for posting this!)

you should have something like zImage-modules-DATE_VER.tar

--go to eclair_fs/ and delete the modules-2.6.27-00330-f485082e.tar (name differ with version) and the "zImage" files.

--untar (with winrar or whatever) in your eclair_fs/ the

two

files.

--

rename

the zImage.00000000 (figures as the build date) in "

zImage

" (without quotes).

-- leave the modules-2.6.27-00710-g485083e.tar you have just extracted with the same name.

c)===================

go to eclair_fs/startup-configs and make sure you have a DIAM100.txt (or whatever DIAMx00 you have, retrieve DIAMx00.txt).

*if YES then delete eclair_fs/startup.txt and copy+rename the eclair_fs/startup-configs/DIAM100.txt to eclair_fs/startup.txt.

*if NO then google another package (the one from connect-utb should have one).

d)===================

optional: make your changes in startup.txt

e)===================

delete the data.img file if you have one (when you make changes in your zImage or system.sqsh you have to delete data.img).

f)===================

now your eclair_fs should look like this:

g)===================

upload at your formatted Internal storage on your diamond TO THE ROOT (without your subfolder eclair_fs)

h)===================

Some bugs are yet to be resolved so to make sure you won't have to reboot again, make sure under Windows Mobile you have:

-disabled the PinCode

-Enabled the GPRS Connection (it works for me without this step but sometime not)

-disabled the airplane mode (if you activated the GPRS you should't be in this mode ^^

-disable whatever special state you put your phone in.

i)===================

run /InternalStorage/Haret.exe

Format your internal storage once in fat32, you don't need to format it every time you change between build.

III/ Get custom build from Raphael or Blackstone etc...

there : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=601751

enjoy

FILE: 4shared.com (sry, the guy uploaded a new build fixing a bit the mic so I updated mine)

I uploaded different startup.txt (and Diam200.txt from jfran)

======================================================================================================================

Useful info from other users

-If you have a problem with the PINCode being always wrong:

Go into WinMo and disable it.

-If you need your APN Profil:

check on your operator's website in the android page like for HTC Magic. exemple for SFR you can get the settings from sfr.fr under "My account" webpage of via their forum.

-Microphone too low?

known issue, sry.

-My version is too unstable?

download the package from Connect UTB and copy it directly into your storage card. Its the latest stable. The one I posted here is the latest dev.

- OMG where my battery went??

YES battery is the most important issue for now ^^

-Something go badly wrong, like messed up volume button or whatever

HARD RESET :) (assuming you did saved your contacts what so ever. I highly recommend saving your contacts by Gmail Exchange server (m.google.com) or with MS MyPhone.
