I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TOU YOUR PHONE HOWEVER I WILL DO AS MUCH AS I CAN TO HELP YOU FIX IT

GSM ONLY!!! NO CMDA USERS

Note: This TUT was written from my expeience with a DIAM100!!! I do not know if the files included in this TUT are compatible with Diamonds other than the 100

This TUT will cover complete flashing of everything on your Diamond, I wrote this cause it took me 2 hours to get my Diamond hacked so i could reap the benefits of the community:

1. Hard-SPL - Post 1 & 2

2. Rom - Post 3

3. Radio - Post 3

__________________________________________________________

Note: Doing this will Hard Reset your phone, any data not on your 4GB internal will be deleted!!! If you want to make a backup, I recomend you use SPB Backup Free Trial and save the EXE created to your 4GB

__________________________________________________________

What Is Hard-SPL?

Hard SPL in computer terms is the BIOS, it lets you recover your device if you incorectly flash your device. This bootloader was developed by OliNex and comes in to flavours Dev and Signed, i have attached the files at the bottom of this thread. It is essential if you want to put cooked material on your device. if you install this IT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY, how ever, you can still flash the Stock SPL back should your diamond need repairing.

How Do I Flash It?

If you want to restore the stock SPL, I recomend you make a note of which version you have, this is easy and simple

1. Reset your Diamond

2. Press and hold the Volume Down button on left side of your device, it shold display some numbers and some text, the number should be between 1.23 and 1.37

3. To get back to Winmo, simply press the reset button

With the OliNex SPL's, all you need to do is charge your Diamond to 50% or more, connect via activesync / Device manager on a 32 BIT WINDOWS SYSTEM (XP Only) !!!

Create a new folder with no spaces in it, E.G "C:\\Diamimg_OliNex" , unzip the files you have downloaded from the bottom of the page into this new folder

Then, with your Diamond connected, run "RomUpdateUtility.EXE" and follow the on screen intructions

IF YOU UNPLUG YOUR DIAMOND WHILE THIS APPLOCATION IS RUNNING, YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!!

The computer should be displaying a progress bar, it should jump from 0% to 100%

IT WON'T TAKE 10 MINS LIKE IT SAYS IT WILL

A message should appear sayying that your phone has been sucessfully updated

When you see this, Congrats, You have flashed Hard-SPL to your phone

To confirm this, simply repeat the steps you did to check your Stock SPL, It should say, 1.4* OliNex

Flashing back to stock SPL is in the next post

__________________________________________________________

To flash back to the Stock SPL, YOU MUST FIRST FLASH THE STOCK ROM AND RADIO, SPL MUST BE FLASHED LAST!!! You will also need the SPL pack which is included in the first post, when we flashed Hard SPL, I mentiod the number of your Stock SPL, if you still have it you can the Stock SPL. This useful because if your supplier is trying to fix it, and bumps into bootloader, it will say "1.40 OliNex", and he will say "This has voided your Warranty". If it says "1.37 HTC" he will say "I will repair it now". Anyway, to replace the Hard SPL, there are two ways. If you have the Un-Signed SPL, you have to use the file "Un Signed SPL Restorer", when you have chosen your Stock SPL, extract the SPL Restorer to a top level of a Local HDD, copy the SPL file into this folder with the other files. Then rename it "RUU_Signed.NBH" without the quotes. Run "RomUpdateUtility.EXE" and follow the on screen intructions

IT WON'T TAKE 10 MINS LIKE IT SAYS IT WILL

A message should appear sayying that your phone has been sucessfully updated

When you see this, Congrats, You have flashed Stock-SPL to your phone and deleted Hard-SPL Un Signed

If you have a signed OliNex SPL, the restoration process is slightly different

The proces is exactly the same except instead of using "Un Signed Hard SPL Restorer", you simply download "Stock Restorer For Signed"

Radio:

This bit is about flashing your radio, people flash their radio to get better reception in the area, if your diamond was sold to you as a TRI Band phone, you can upgrade it to QAUD Band for free :)

THIS DOES NOT UNLOCK YOUR RADIO FOR USE WITH OTHER SIM CARDS!!!

There are plenty of Radios floating around, one recomended around the forum is 1.00.25.05, this enables QUAD Band, use little power and gets great reception. You can check your radio when your phone is booting, it's the first line of red text. If you have radio version 1.00.25.05, or if you get good signal and good quality voice calls, you don't have to update it

DO NOT TRY AND FLASH A RADIO FROM ANOTHER PHONE!!!

How To Update:

First download a Radio from here

Then download RUU from the bottom of this page

Extract both to the same folder

Run RUU, Check the box and click next

After you have done the things listed in the picture, tick the checkbox and click next

Click Update

The RUU will tell you what version you are going from to what version you are going to

Click Next

DON'T UNPLUG YOUR DIAMOND OR DO ANYTHING ON YOU PC WHILE THE RADIO IS UPDATING

When PC reaches 100% DON'T UNPLUG YOUR DIAMOND, Click finish and wait for your Diamond to reset

Great work, this is really usefull for people having trouble getting their Diamond updated and flashed.

When I came here I really needed something like this, because all information was cluttered all around the forum. Now we have it at one place.

And you are even asking for the mods to clean this...

Go think before you post these kind of answers.

Badwolve1 I think it's a good idea to put this in the wiki,

If you don't know how it works I can do it for you with a link to this thread.

This is good work and should be rewarded, we should have these guides for every device!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nirak:

Mtty and windows 7 (x64)

Badwolve - Good to see your consolidated tutorial. Just wanted to share that mtty works directly with Windows 7 (x64) as well now. There are two possible methods for this (tried both and both work):

Eugenia's signed x64 drivers

Disabling/Ignoring driver signing using gpedit
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
Hmm, seems like your device hasn't been hard spl'd. Can you confirm that you've done so?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] djandreski:
My device is HardSPL-ed I've installed 1.30 OliNex, and on the three color screen there is a text that says "1.30 OliNex" so it is spl-ed

And when I try to Flash from PC the custom RUU and phone bar are stuck at 0% and after a wile i got 262 error on ruu. see the picture.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Badwolve1:
May i ask what rom you are using?

You will probably need Dev Hard SPL as not many Roms are signed by OliNex, i this problem persists ater install of Dev SPL, Try internal flash

Good Luck

this is great!! but im kinda confused with the part where you said

the top of your internal storage?...

do u mean the mobile device when it pops up in ur pc or removable disk?.....thnks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Badwolve1:
Hi Cmsquared

What i mean is to copy to the root of internal storage, this is simple

1. plug diamond into pc

2. click "Disk Drive" on phone

3. copy Diamimg.nbh to the internal storage

4. follow steps on main thread :P

i will change the thread accordingly

Good luck

If you want more Tuts, I would love to write one for the Rhodium, but on 1 condition, you get me one :D

For sim unlocks, you have to go and see Olipro, it's not free unless you contribute to the forum, i didn't research it as i have a Sim unlocked Diamond anyway.

I may also include how to change the bootscreen, i've been creating some ROM packs with my own custom bootloading screens :p

can't get it to work

Hi,

Ive got a question about putting a new rom on the phone. I managed to get the unsigned Hard-SPL on the phone. Bootloader now says SPL-1.40.OliNex.

But when i put a rom in the root of the internal storage and i do a soft reset nothing happens. What am i doing wrong?

Also i tried MTTY but i can't choose USB. Looked up some forums and they say you have to uncheck usb connection in the active sync software. All done it but still no USB option.

Pls help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] the_scotsman:
To flash from Internal ROM, make sure the file is called diamimg.nbh.

And you don't do a soft reset, you need to reset then hold volume down + back button, until the white screen appears with instructions.

Nice thread for the new guys Badwolve1!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Badwolve1:
For MTTY, you need to put phone in bootloader

For flashing, as the Scotsman said, Rename the file DIAMIMG.NBH, it's in the flashing post at the start

Goodluck

Badwolve1
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chrisd1a1:
the other option, (some would call me mad but i prefer to flash via the pc). place the rom file in a folder on your pc. unzip the attached custom RRU. and place in the same folder. run the prog and follow the instructions.

one new rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Badwolve1:
It's safer and faster to flash from internal storage, unless testing a new Rom, i put a stable IMG in storage then flash my latest from PC, if something go's wrong, i just flash back from storage :D

Hi .. I have T-Mobile with Google Android OS ...

And I'm from Syria ... and there isn't any network signal when I set my Syrian SIM card in my phone .. but I have another SIM card from UAE .. and when I set it there's a network signal .. and I can't connect with internet from the UAE SIM card becuase now I'm in Syria and only I can connect to internet with Syrian SIM cards .. then I can't make a google setup registration ...

what can I do now ... please help me ..

some one say : I can make my phone is international ( It can apply any SIM card ) ...

Please send your suggestion quickly ..

Best ..

Malaz Kseby .
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
If you phone takes SIM cards from providers other then T-mobile then it's already unlocked. The reason you can't connect to other networks is because you don't have the right APNs to do so. Get them from your provider and input them when the phone prompts you to do so.

Or, you can root and skip the sign-in process till you have wi-fi signal.

Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlozi007:
hi Ms.borodin1 ..

I don't know how can run WiFi on setup screen ..

And if the SIM is unlock then why it didn't apply my Sryria SIM card .. ??

and I set my right APN but there isn't a network signal then how I can

connect to GPRS ..!!!

HEEELP ME PLEASE
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitaljeff:
put in your UAE sim card, go to APN settings and write down the APN information. put in your syrian sim card and enter in the APN info you wrote down from the UAE sim card. if that doesnt work perhaps its the sim card gone bad.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlozi007:

thank you digitaljeff ..

the problem is in my syrian SIM card .. and here we have only two network signal provider ... and I tested another one and it's worked ... :)

Sometimes when i try to unlock my phone the screen wil remain black and the buttons will light up? Is this because of S2U2?

Its really annoying so if anyone can help id appreciate it

i have the same issue with the standard windows lockscreen, so i dont think it's S2U2.
[HD2 General] Savva06:
is there anyway round it? Its so annoying
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Could you tell us a bit more please? Are you using the phone in a case? Are the sensors at the top of the phone being blocked off when you are trying this operation?

WB
[HD2 General] Savva06:
No it isnt in a case, and ive checked that nothing is blocking any of the sensors, sometimes a few button presses and it will come back on and other times it wil take 10 to 15 minutes to work agian
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
If not the case then could be a recently installed software programme causing your problems.

Think back on your installation history. If necessary deinstall the items you suspect, soft reset, then reinstall one by one and see which item causes you the problem.

WB
[HD2 General] Savva06:
i did a hard reset not long ago, and it still played up right after, could it be any of the changes in the registry?

It doesn't matter which Recovery image you use, as long as it allows you to flash Update.zip in the menu.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bloodyking:
Hi guys.

I just upgraded my O2 HD2 to an official ROM by using this method WITHOUT goldcard:

http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/htc_h...d2_sspl_verfuegbar_flashen_ohne_goldcard.html

Its written in German, here is what you need to do:

Unrar your favorite ROM and rename (if it isnt allready) the .nbh file to "RUU_signed.nbh"

Unrar the attachment SSPL_RUU.zip and copy your RUU_signed.nbh in the same folder.

Now just flash as usual :) Make sure you watch your HD2 screen and allow any file to run.

It worked for me.

UPDATE: Didnt saw that this file is from bepe. Look here for the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=606713

Thanks and sorry bepe.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] meptik:
You can also just follow the guide for flashing with SSPL here, at this very forum. Will flash both signed and unsigned ROMs.

I wonder if that starbase 64 guy created his own SSPL, or is using bepe's without giving proper credit. If you're registered at that forum, perhaps you can compare the two?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bloodyking:
Wow :o

The two files are the same.. So that starbase guy used it without thanking I think. You can compare this by yourself, just download the attachment from below! Heck.. I am sorry I gave the wrong person credit.

Sorry that I didnt saw the other thread! I searched, but Ive found nothing. I think he should mention "without goldcard" or something in his thread title..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] meptik:
No worries! :)

Actually, I think bepe's thread doesn't mention you can also flash official ROMs with the SSPL explicitly either. That might be worth mentioning, especially since I believe the free goldcard offer ended on the 27th.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dingolino:
As far as I understand the flashing procedure with sspl, you can flash the OS only but not HSPL or Radio even if you are using a "official" HTC Rom - sspl is just ignoring radio and hspl part.

Depending what you would like to do this is ok or it is a limitation.

Best regards,
