Sorry to ask.. but wich tools do you use to translate and edit the rom's??

Any chance of 6.5 to 5353??

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] nismox:
So does the T5355 C02 wm6.1 english rom also work on the t5353? and are you sure that the t5353 isn't running a Qualcom cpu?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] OCedHrt:
Why don't we release Chinese version when it is so simple? *hint hint*
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] decayed.cell:
Yep 100% it even says so on the chinese forums. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure Qualcomm are fabless i.e. they don't make their own chips. Instead, they sell their designs and license them to manufacturers. Do you think the clone companies have these licenses? Also, the T5353 and T5355 are slightly different there is a ROM for all in one so I would have to have a look at that ROM and see how they did it
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] decayed.cell:
I use Notepad++ to open up the files, got the english xip.bin from the working 6.1 ROM and ran the cooker they gave out on the mobileuncle.com
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] nismox:
So it's right to assume that it doesn't work on the T5353? Does anyone have an english rom for the T5353? I'm still stuck with a Chinese rom..... Can someone please upload the "universal" WM6.5 on somewhere else then megaupload? It says that the service isn't available in a service area :(

Thanks!

T5388/T5355+ clone

Hi,

First post for me. I've been lurking and finally have stumped up enough courage to ask and tell a few things. I'm hoping that decayed.cell can read this as it may be useful

Here goes......

I bought a clone of a HTC Touch Diamond 2. If you were to search on ebay you could find the exact one by entering this....

3.2" WQVGA 806MHz CPU WI-FI Skype WM6.5 GPS Phone T5388

The phone itself has the specs in the screen shots below.

Here is the funny thing. The SD card (2gb) came with many chinese/english (either/and/or) folders on it as though the phone had been a chinese version of what I now understand is the htc interface and other stuff. There was a big file in the root of the card called.....

S880_0407德国_第二版_FLASH.bin (100,144,583 bytes)

You can see pictures of that below as well

I believe this is what you use to turn it into a HTC chinese style version of the phone. When the phone arrived it had been reset to just plain old english titanium.

It said it had an FM Radio but after installing the FM Radio software somewhere else on this forum, it said it could not find it. I'm wondering if it really is there, just not seen by the software. The GPS does work with BeeLineGPS (albeit a bit slow to get a fix).

Is any of this stuff useful to build a "rom" for it (mine and others who have one) in english?

I must admit I am no expert with WM 6.5 but this place has helped enormously. It was just when I saw that there was a "kitchen" for the 5355+ and someone was "cooking" for that, that I thought such stuff would be useful to cook one for the 5388. Since it is gravity aware, I was wondering if it could be "Manilaed" so to speak.

I'd be grateful for any answers on all this.

You need to cook from a working WM6.5, since I never saw any in flash.dio you need to do it yourself...

I do not have enough time to do it but how I'll do it should be something like this:

1- take a WM6.5 bin rom compatible with IDT (findable in this thread)

2- See my post #153 for splitting the bin (splitek3bin.exe is in T5355 C02 Kitchen.7z)

3- with osnbtool extract:

osnbtool -d a.bin numeropartionxip xip.bin
osnbtool -d a.bin numeropartionoem oem.bin
osnbtool -d a.bin numeropartionsys sys.bin

4- dump XIP

dumprom xip.bin -5 -d XIP

5- dump IMGFS

IMGFSTODUMP sys.bin
PKGTOOL.exe dump

6-replace OEM ROM\XIP and SYS with those you dump in my kitchen.

(...) translate if you want

7-cook

8- test

If it works share with the community

5358+ bricked..?

My phone is T5358+

Phone comes with wm6.5 but freezes after each restart. Not responding, so I've flashed it to wm6.1, works fine, but only in few colors, maybe display error?

Then I've downloaded C01_T5355_english_20100120.bin file from "topaz htchack com/ftp" site, used method 3 (microSD flashing) and after restart phone freezes for very long time so I've removed battery...now the phone is dead. Even when charging is active (usb or charger) LED is not flashing. Have tried all reset combinations, phone is not responding.

I've got also question:

Is posible, that win6.1 shows less memory, than phone supposed to have?

My phone datasheet says 512ROM/288RAM but win6.1 shows 192/128, is that ok?

Can anyone help with this? Thanks a lot ;)

5358+, is it CO2?

Not long ago I've ordered 5355 Black Diamond from E-bay. Received 5358+. Guy insists that 5358+ is improved model of 5355. (it is 5358 not 5388!)

I see very few references to 5358+. Somewhere on Chinese websites I read that 5358+ is the same as 5355 except different display panel, but I can't find definite confirmation of that. (Funny thing, Google Translate replaces "flash" with "brush". It took me a while to make sense out of it. :))

On first page of this thread there is no mentioning of 5358+.

I'm kind of reluctant to just start flashing it with different firmware, I don't want to brick it.

The questions are:

Where exactly 5358+ fits in clone lineup (first post?) and what firmware it compatible with?

Is there a difference in flashing with SD card and with PC? Is boot loader and EMEI affected somehow by flashing? I know there is different options to flash through PC, but none of them lists boot loader, radio(cell, not FM) and EMEI. I read somewhere that somebody lost his EMEI after flashing, it become all zeros.

Is it safe to try to flash with different firmware?

Greatly appreciate your help!

Cheers!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
These clones have often 'faked' the Windows hardware information to appear a real clone. Typical shown in (included) ROM is CPU MSM7200 RAM 288MB ROM 512MB Because that is what the real HTC models have. But in reality, the clones only have 128, 192 or 256 RAM and or ROM, and a Hisilicon K3 CPU on 460 MHz

I suspect that when you installed 6.1 ROM, you also installed the real Windows info page, rather than a cooked one, so the 192/128 is probably your real value. It probably also now displays a different CPU doesn't it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] najki_cz:
About ROM/RAM -that's what i thought.

I cant check it (phone is dead) but I think there was K3 written as you says.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Pity my chineese is so bad (=non-existant). This site: http://sjw475.qupan.com/?folder=1595371

seems to have some nice rom dumps, but I can't figure out how to download them. Also, they may be chineese language dumps.

PS: did you try and reflash the 6.1 version you had working?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
if you run this trough Google Translate, it makes it in to a GERMAN version of the phone. Considering your name (Uwe) that may be nice, though it does not put Manilla in there.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
For addition into the lineup:

T5388++ (alias S650, C03)

This is a Dual SIM GSM Quad band phone.

It may report 600Mhz MSM7200 with 288MB 512MB and 256K color 800x480

but in reality is a HiSilicon K3 533Mhz with 256MB 256MB and 65K color 800x480.

Also it is supposed to have a GPS, G, and FM chip.

And 3.2M back and .3M front camera (some sellers report 5M and 1.2M, but those are 'interpolated' values)

It needs a *different* IDT to load then mentioned in this thread, most information I got here:

http://www.mobileuncle.com/viewthread.php?tid=17479&highlight=s650

and confirmed here

http://nohuaer.blog.163.com/blog/static/1427970820102245022462/

I got the IDT and a few roms downloaded from above links. Of course, the phone is still in the post, so I cannot actually play with it. And if it comes with a reasonably well working English 6.5 (as promised) I probably will not even attempt.

Also, I found that if I try to disassemble those ROMS with both kitchens provided in this thread, they fail. It seems the .bin formats are not using the same structure as the C02 roms, and neither NBinfo, splitK3 and osnbtool can understand the bin.

----

If I do get the phone, is there anyone able to assist me in trying in a ROM dump?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] uwedie:
Well spotted! The assumption was it was the chinese one. I was just looking at the readmes in the folders. Never thought to translate the actual chinese in the filename. It helps a little for me but not as much as my name might imply. My german is horrific since a long long while. At least its alot better than my chinese. :)

I am going to have a go at what was described to me above by eltorio. I noticed that someone has uploaded an english wm6.5 dump for the 5388+ (he confirms there is no fm radio) and there is always the german file that was on the card in case of catastrophe.

Do you have a T5388+ btw? It would be interesting to know if you have any tips before I enter into the dark night that is rom cooking.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
No, I just today ordered a T5388++, but I carefully read all I could find on 'chinese clone phones' for several days before doing so. Because while $250 is cheap for a good windows mobile, it is still $250.

For example, I found out that the T5388++ is a 'C03' phone, rather than the C02 you have, so you should be extra careful not to mix with the wrong firmwares. It also uses a different IDT. And I have the correct IDT and at least one proper firmware for the 5388++.

But still, it is a chinese clone, ordered without seeing over the web, so while I hope not, I guess it can turn out to be a dissapointment.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] motiam4:
would u plz give download link for IDT application..I couldn't find it anywhere..!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Sonic999:
I've just received my t5353+.

So far the only problem I've found is that it can't send sms (the sms will stay for a while in the "outbox" and then the phone will shut off, and a message says that it couldn't be sent... then the phone turns back on again and gets reception bars). I already checked google and tried what was suggested (soft reset, mess with connection and phone settings, disable 3g with a modified connection manager - this phone doesn't come with 3g but i tried it too-, check the number that shows in the message center). The message center setting is ok, so I guess I'll have to hard reset. It can receive sms, receive calls, make calls. It can't send mms (I don't give a sh*t, never used that), and don't know if it can receive...

The problem is I don't seem to find the way to hard reset this thing. You've said to press and hold at the same time the "call", "end call" and "power" buttons. I do this while in the Today Screen, and all I get is the normal "shut down message" you get when you press and hold the power button... then the device shuts down.. and nothing else happens.

Same thing if I press the three buttons to turn it on... it justs starts loading, and will stay in the "Diamond2" screen that shows some numbers, until I stop pressing the buttons.

These are the letters and numbers displayed on the "diamond 2" screen you get right after turning on the device:

R 3.43.25.19

G 61.20t.25.10u

D 1.39.47382

Another funny thing I found is that there's a "FM Radio" button in the programs section... when you press it, it tells you that you have to plug in the earphones... but, where?? I don't see any holes, just a very small one on the bottom, that seems to be the phone's mic. EDIT: Ok, now I paid a look at the earphone's jack, and it's the same as the one in the usb cable... the radio works alright, pity it can't save stations...

Anyone who owns a t5353+ please give me a hand. Thanks in advance.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cranico:
Sonic999, i had the same problem, AND wifi wasn't working too.

So i tried to flash with the rom listed here on the 1st post.

BAD IDEA! Now i have no sms, no wifi, no G-SENSOR, no start button, no X button...

I don't know how to fix the sms problem, but rom update isn't a option AT ALL.

BTW, does anyone have a rom to T5353+ with WinMo 6.1?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Sonic999:
Ok, that's good to know, cranico. Thanks.

My phone came with a CD, and this cd has games, apps and as far as I can see, two ROMS. One's 6.1 and the other's 6.5. Since the names are in chinese, I can only see two "squares" before the "6.1" and "6.5" in the name of the files, so I presume they are chinese and maybe (MAYBE) also in english.

Here they are, try 'em at your own risk:

(uploading files to sendspace.com - tomorrow I'll edit the post)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
It seems more likely you first power off the phone, and then press those buttons, the power one last. So it is powered on with the other ones held.

As to the file names, copy and past the names, including the square boxes, into google translate. Even though your PC does not support Chineese, your browser may still pass the information.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Sonic999:
You mean that while the phone is off I have to press and hold the "end call" and "call" buttons, and then press the "power on" button?

About the squares, you were right, I pasted the squares in google translate's box, and they turned to chinese writings... they mean "King diamond"... it said nothing about the language, unfortunately.

Edit: The following are CHINESE Roms, only language is chinese. Be warned. And some functions are missing (g-sensor, camera, etc.):

This is the rom for 6.1 (CHINESE):

http://www.sendspace.com/file/769j0c

This is the rom for 6.5 (CHINESE):

http://www.sendspace.com/file/b91osh

These roms came in a CD inside the phone's packaging.

EDIT: Ok, the hard reset worked, it was like you said. First power off the phone, then while it's off, press and hold both "call" and "end call" buttons, then press and hold the "power on" button. I kept the buttons pressed for a long time, until the orange "Windows" screen appeared. Then the backlight was turned off and though I had bricked my phone, but no, after a while the "align screen" page showed up. And now my phone's back to factory... let's see now if I can send sms.

EDIT2: Nope, sms won't send... any ideas? It's a 32k sim, but it worked alright with my old phone, an ETEN G500... I have another sim but haven't been able to try it yet cause it doesn't have credit heheh.

Where can I download czech language to T5388+? Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] crustie:
5388+
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Sonic999:
Nope, Crustie. I don't have those options cause mine comes with only one sim slot.

In my phone's options I just have Phone, Security, Services, Network. In services I can "get settings" for Call Barring, Caller ID, Call Forwarding, Call Waiting, Voice Mail and Text Messages, Fixed Dialing. If I get the settings for voice mail and text messages, it just brings up a message "reading settings from the network" (which I think it's not true, it may just check the sim card), and it shows me the service center number, which is ok, and the voice mail number, which is also ok.

I have reception problems too... the antenna in these things must be quite ****ty, cause I went to a small village (away from the big cities) where we have cellular signal, and tried the same two chips (from different companies) on my Eten G500, and it would get reception in a blink. But I tried them with this t5353+ and nothing... then on the way back I was testing the t5353+ and it would get signal only when approaching big cities... and lose it when leaving those cities.

I'll have to try changing the rom... unfortunately that's my only remaining thing to try (other than sending the phone to a technician so he can check out what's up with the phone's antenna or smth).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Wait, I thought the 5388+ had only one SIM and it is the 5388++ that had two sims? I specifically ordered a 5388++ for that reason. In fact, I am quite sure.

While I do see some sellers advertise the latter too as 5388+, there is a a distinct difference between the single SIM Marvel 624Mhz (claimed 1GHz) 192MB RAM 5388+ on one hand, and the double SIM HiSilicon 533 MHz (claimed 600Mhz) 256MB RAM 5388++

In fact, specifically fastcardtech (where I ordered mine too) is one of the shops that clearly advertises them distinct, and also that advertised the actual RAM/ROM sizes, even below the faked screenshot pages.

fastcardtech T5388+

fastcardtech T5388++

I think with all the different Chinese lookalikes we should make sure we do not add to the confusion. Please check if yours is indeed a ++ and if so, make sure you refer to it as such. Edit your post above even. Otherwise people may damage their phones with incorrect firmware.

For example (if I am correct) you should definitely not flash any firmware for 5388+, because you'll end up with a brick. Reading Chinese websites (Google translate) I learned that the 5388+ is a 'C02' phone (whatever that means) flashed with one type of flashtool, and the 5388++ is a 'C03' phone, requiring a different flash tool and binary format.

PS: I'll get my 5388++ soon (I hope) but I love to get a copy of that firmware you'll get from fastcardtech.

PPS: There is also the MTK TOPS-A1, different manufacturer, but also a Dual SIM Diamond clone, with different chipset (MTK) and WQVGA in stead of WVGA. Both MTK TOPS-A1 and Sunno T5388++ claim to be the first dual sim WM6.5 smartphone. Compare physical differences here

EDIT: That ROM you mention does call it a ++, so should be good, but I think you should assume that if such a Chinese website does not mention a language, then it is Chinese. BTW: You mention an incorrect file length. You do have the correct version of IDT, where you can/have to select the Dual SIM rom type?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
I read the website again, including the IDT instruction pictures, and suddenly it came to me: That page is not about a Windows Mobile ROM upgrade, it is to about a RADIO chip upgrade.

That explains why they tell you to click only the 'modem' section in the IDT program. I also found a translation of the file name, rather than the thread name, and it goes: "S650 Jane 6530_HTC_20100322_C0300101_ production version of 5.01_ baseband package _IDT111."

While Jane and 6530 are unknown terms to me, S650 is the Sunno name for the market name of T5388++

Good news is: if it is a radio, the chances are it solves your problem, and also the language does not matter.

Bad news is: all of this is maybe not entirely guesswork, but far from certainty. If you want to try it, your phone, your risk.

You must get the latest IDT, and then make sure you select only the modem for upload, as in the picture on the website. And then pray to whatever god has your fancy.

EDIT: The file in your link to is about 90Meg big, and (also reading chineese text) has both RADIO and ROM (modem+AP), so if you have it, you should only flash the modem. The file S650_Medom_20100326.bin in the screenshot is about 2.31Meg, and has only the radio. However, I only find descriptions *about* that file, I can't file the file itself anywhere.

EDIT2: I managed to download that Chinese ROM with the March 22 RADIO/MODEM included. Some help from this side gave me this download link. Not sure if it will stay up, as it seems to be in a cache folder.

To repeat: this is a Chinese rom. You probably want to flash the modem only, unless you speak Chinese natively. Also, it is for the T5388++ dual sim phone.

Lots to answer here so will try to work through

Hi Sonic999,

its not that I have a low signal its the fact that I have NO signal when the phone has been off (like battery out off) and turned back on more often

then not I will have no signal on either sim so between factory restores and hard resets and just turning it off and on it will eventually pick up

signal and work OK so at the momment I dont turn it off...have fastcard tech working on the problem hence the new roms

now to which phone I have brought this one

(sorry for the $$ cannot put up links as new user)

h$$p://$$$.fastcardtech.com/goods.php?id=4320

it states that its a dual sim phone not to be confused with the dual O/S phone

underneath the battery it states that its a Touch Diamond2 T5388+

the same as the web site and has 2 sim slots as pictured on website

it has a p/n 99HHH005-650 and hense one thinks that the 650 is a S650 like the roms they are sending me.....??in saying that when i look up

the p/n on the battery its not a genuine , searching that p/n for battery is different why am i not suprised

EDIT just noticed the name of the phone inside wm6.5 >setup >about is called a flys650ppc not sure if this helps

it does apear to be a 5388++ phone from spending the last 2 hours translating sites......

the rom they sent me can be got here

Here is down link :h$$p://download2.gbaopan.com/53f3ca2e5b994730b704c515908a3c43.gbp?supplierID=4083469

the file name is "T5388 DUAL SIM S650_WVGA_¼òÓ¢-20100312.rar"

T card module steps are as follows:

UNZIP FILE GET 2 FILE , Use one NO FILE tf card best is under 2g format is FAT

Step 1 Copy both file to tf card root directory. And insert card in phone.

Step 2 Remove the phone back cover, you will find that there is a button in the side of stylus,, it is the hard reset button.

Step 3 after power on phone , holding the volume up and down key, then press the side of the reset button. System will auto flash phone:

Step 4 Follow the phone show you info choices.

After end of flash system restart phone again.

Hi cybermaus I am unable to download from that link something is wrong in chinese... |-)

but found this link by chance not sure what it contains so downloading now

Aha, I see. So you turn off the phone and then when you start it again it won't pick up signal. Well, mine when you turn it on it gets signal in a matter of seconds (if I'm in a big city with good broadcasting antennas - apparently)... I also sent an email to Pandawill yesterday, but they haven't replied yet.
