any tips?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eer:
I don't know your phone, but if you check post 3 of this topic you can find the procedure to flash your device. Did you do this?

(Copied part of post 3)

T5353+

Method 1: microSD Upgrade

1. Ensure that your phone battery is above 50% before upgrading

2. Your microSD must be 2GB or less and formatted to FAT16

3. Copy flash.bin and loader.bin to the microSD

4. Turn off the phone

5. Turn on the phone by pressing end call and back buttons at the same time (last two keys). With these two keys held down, press the power button

6. A blue progress bar will indicate that the update is being installed. This takes about 5 minutes

my phone is T5355. without '+' or '++'

yes, im trying that method. but i dont have the flash.bin and loader.bin...

i use ROM from solonomi.com/rom/T5353/

its always stuck step 3 : file not found.

so i need the flash.bin and loader.bin? where i can get it? :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
I don't quite understand, as you seem to be trying to flash a ROM that is not made for your phone. The reason that you're getting this error is probably because your phone doesn't recognise the file format of the T5353++ dual os ROM. I thing maybe you should be grateful for this, as it most likely wouldn't work, and could indeed damage your phone.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eer:
True, I don't understand also.

If you have a T5355 don't install the T5353+ ROM in your phone or you can send it back to teh supplier.

Beste is:

1) Check the first post of this thread for the hardware and phone you have

2) Check the seconds post of this thread to download your firmware if not available on www.Solonomi.com

3) Check the third post of this thread for the correct procedure for you device

My guess is:

1) T5355 C02

2) WM6.1 or WM6.5 available for download

3) There are 3 methods defined. I have used method 1 on my 5388++ serveral times and it worked good

T5388 problem

Hi all.

I tried installing EzInput wich failed and makes my T5388 stand still on Welcome screen. I would like to reinstall the english rom, but don't know where to get it and how to install it.

It is a HTC Touch Diamond2 T5388 says the back of my phone.

I tried several bins like explained in this thread, but couldnt find the right for my phone (I hope) and the only thing that happens after startup and trying to install is

copying file from sd card failed, shutting down system

Does this sound familiar?

Please help :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] allhill:
yeah.. i know its different device :) im just trying...

my device now use WM 6.5 English with HTC sense, im really satisfied with it. but i trying to change into Android... maybe dual os bootable :)

any tips? android for t5355...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eer:
Check www.MobileUncle.com, it's creating a lot of firmware versions for these kind of phone, unfortunatly most of them only in Chinese. Can you read that? :D

Some engilish versions are also posted there. Best is to use Google Chrome explorer to read the Chinese pages.

I would not install the 5353 firmware if you don't want to throw it in the trash bin afterwards. ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eer:
First good identify which version you really have. It can still be about 10 different onces.

e.g. T5388I, T5388II, T5388III, T5388 A1, T5388 A1+, T5388+, T5388++, T5388+++

If you can tell us your screen resolution, uC and speed (not discplayed in the settings screen, but the real uC), RAM / FLASH, current firmware name, etc we can help you to identify your device.

Use the IDT tool to flash, it's very powerfull.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fulham:
Thanks for the link.

That link is confusing, because the link for "English ROM" download eventually leads to a file which is only 7.5 MB, where as initial link reads about 70 MB.

Can someone give me more specific link please?

If unsuccessful with that, I have also posted a query re latest Android rom for the same phone.

But I still prefer wm 6.1 rom (basic).

If I'm correct you have the TOPS A1 with the nice shaped buttons below the touch screen. Sometimes it's also called TOPS A1+ because you have the 256MB RAM version. You can download the software on http://www.solonomi.com/rom/A1/. There is one problem, if I'm correct there are two version of the TOPS A1 available with only the RAM 128MB and 256MB difference. I don't know if this ROM is for both for sure or if it is for one of the two.

If you need the flashing procedure you can use this: http://products.mobileuncle.com/thread-18044-1-1.html

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Did you try and download from the translated version? As I said this won't work, you'll get kicked back to the site's homepage, I suppose this is because google translate doesn't understand what it is you're trying to do. I'm currently downloading the file I think you want, but the connection from this server is very slow, so patience is required :rolleyes: I'll then put it on rapidshare for you...watch this space....

----------------------------------------------------------------------

On another note, I may have found a way of alleviating some of the memory shortage problems with the T5353++ ROM, I installed "Swapper" from the Android Market which does as it suggests and gives the OS a swapfile on th SDcard, so far no lockups and the phone is a bit snappier, i.e. not getting bogged down quite so much when trying to perform multiple tasks.

The only issue is that you have to disable it in order to connect to the pc via usb, as it appears to create a sharing violation, and the phone thinks that the SDcard is damaged. I think maybe that putting the swapfile on an ext2 partition maight fix this though, if I have no other issues with swapper, I'll try it and see.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To all that are experiencing Android envy, the answer is sadly that ROMs for these phones appear to be very model specific, but that with a bit of research via the living hell that is google translate, you may find what you're looking for. I bought the T5353++ because it came with a version of Android preinstalled, and though not very good, it at least hinted at the possibility of future upgrades to the OS (BTW, I notice that the cost of this model is dropping, and you can dow get one for around £100 on ebay). It should also be noted that the same model of phone may have more than one name, eg. mine is also known as "Diamond Twin Star", "Double Diamond King", as well as "Max 2G", though the latter comes in a different case (same internal hardware though), where as there is a phone called the T5353++ that has entirely different specs - confused, you will be.

So when choosing a ROM, it is essential to do some rudimentary checking through various web shops etc. that it does actually match your phone.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] scherpict:
Flashed it again, still the same problem(s):

- shutdown after 1 minute not use... Really shuts the phone down (before I could tap the end call button once and it was alive again)

- activesync connection doesnt work

- slow boot

I have the same phone (with original ROM on it) here. Can I create a rom using that phone? How can I do that?

- USB to PC connection settings can't be changed... I choose a different one (ActiveSync), but it doesnt save my choice
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
This page has what is calls a 'system patch' for the Tops A1, don't know what it patches, or how, but it might be worth checking out...

http://www.cnsoji.com/list.php?cid-73.html
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
The rom has to be specifically made for your type of phone, as I said before I'm not familliar with your device, so found this based on what you posted, use entirely at your own risk.

The reason they are so specific to the device is that they involve custom drivers written for the phone's hardware, it's not like loading a pc with windows xp, as this has the space to store many drivers for different types of hardware, and also there is a level of standardisation between the manufacturers of pc components, so a genric video card driver will be able to run almost any card, albeit not very well. It seems to me that phones are a cmpletely different animal, with very little in the way of standardisation. I hope this makes sence, and that the ROM works ok :).

Firmware T5388++ 19-04-2010 removed from the site

Hello Solonomi, Why did you remove the newest firmware version for the T5388++ from you site? It's the file: S650WM653_20100412_C0302001_english

My phone is working good with this firmware.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eer:
The website is down...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Well, not seen it before, but S650 / C03 indeed is T5388++

Also, the naming C03SPC00101 is very similar to C03.001.01, especially if you realize SPC ois often the meaning 'Service Pack' for Windows Mobile (don't know what the C stand for)

So it seems like the original ROM, and I would not try it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] scherpict:
still no luck

Yes and I still can't get my activesync working. Changing the setting in USB to PC won't work. Further on if the device is not being used or End Call button is pressed, the shutdown feature (which should be a standby modus) shuts the phone down and I have to take out the battery and startup the phone again.

T5353++ Dual OS ROM - Another one....

This is a new revision to the Android 2.1 ROM, again single system. I've been running it since yesterday, and I have to say it does seem quicker, and even more stable. I think it is handling memory better than the last, and the manufacturer says it draws less power when using Wi-fi.

http://rapidshare.com/files/412479235/T5353__ANDROID2.1August11.2010.rar

If yes, where do I find it?

I have posted similar question before too with no definite answer.

I also asked about the latest android for this device - no definite reply yet.

It looks like I don't have much options to choose from, right?

Also, before I flash the 'new' rom (wm6.1 if I get one), is there a way to extract and save the current wm6.5, just in case I needed to revert back (and I am talking about extraction and not back up as backup with spb or sprite wouldn't work in this situation)?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
I would not expect any android for these phones. Porting is not easy (completely different hardware, don't believe CPU information) and also there is no released Android phone with dual active sim anywhere yet, so the Android software with the correct RIL subroutines probably does not exist yet. (do not confuse Android UI with Android OS, or confuse announced with released)

DUAL OS chinese t5353

hi, does anyone know how to hard reset a t5353 Dual OS so that both Android and WM go back to factory settings?

i was able to do a reset on wm by going thru the settings and all but i'm having problems with android part of it.

HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ANDROID OS

i tried to calibrate the ANDROID screen and instead my finger, i used my stylus. It picked up my stylus during calibration but after that my screen stopped responding to any touch what so ever. i can press volume, windows, back buttons etc and they work just fine showing that the OS itself is working but it's not picking up anything on the screen. any help would be appreciated....

i have tried the two of the following available HARD REST combination - neither one worked :(

AND

thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Wierd, the only thing I can suggest is to reflash the ROM, as it sounds like the screen driver in android has become corrupted.

Oh, hang on, I remember getting a "cold boot" dialog when I was first playing around with the phone, that did a full hard reset. I think you have to press power and then quickly press/maybe press and hold either send or end call. One way gives you an update dialog, the other is cold boot. Cant get mine to do it now, probably as I'm running single system, so dont get the os choice screen.

This is beyond my knowledge I'm afraid, but I think not as you would probably have to replace the driver or it's config file with an original, after first finding out what it is called, then play with the permissions of the file system etc.

I think it is probably much easier to reflash the firmware, and then set up the phone again (once you've done this a few times, it becomes seccond nature :D). This way you also know that everything is set properly.
