[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Basically,the only clean restore would be the same ROM to the same ROM, minus PIM data.

Let's say you're running Dutty HG15 23569 and he releases HG 16 23569 with fixes, whether registry, programs whatever, you would end up restoring over the changes.

With Manila, even if you back up your own ROM and restore, its not a good idea to restore your PIM data back to Manila as its been known to cause it to crash. However PIM backup works well for this.

I'm not saying it 'won't' work, but it 'can' cause issues.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scabes24:
I see.. Thanks!

So when restoring a backup from HG r15 to r16 like u said, besides PIMbackup, would any of these options be safe to restore

-databases

-registry

-system files

-device

-force rom upgrade (im not even exactly sure what this action does, just an option in SPB)

-Also Settings exporter from the same CHT ver.

Thanks for the help!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaDeanesta:
Use pim backup!!!

you better off using PIM backup and you wont screw it up...Use mortscript to create a script to install the files you need on first boot...(XDA-UC is written in Mortscript.). Just make .reg files, .cabs and what ever else you need , edit XDA-UC to your needs and you are ready to go!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Force upgrade is for different ROM builds. I wouldn't use it.

I use a combination depending on what I am restoring.

For same ROM restoring, I use SPB Backup with PIM disabled, and Google sync (gmail as exchange server) for contacts, e-mail and calendar.

For different ROMs, I only restore Gmail, my exported registries such as my sound settings, owner info, and various other tweaks I apply and databases.

Naturally any program specific settings would be fine.

As far as registries and system files, you could be restoring something that's incompatible or an older version.

Sashimi and User Config are 2 alternatives for auto installing your stuff.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scabes24:
Yeah I use XDA_UC with very few configs cuz I'm never sure if certain stuff will restore correctly. I seem to have trouble with settings exporter.

How do I restore specific program configs (bsbtweaks, advanced config, Tabs) without using the UC exporter or a full restore? Can I do it with SPB?

Because I like UC but just for CABs and PIMrestore (sometimes CHTedits)..

Sorry for all the Q's, I've been flashin a lot lately and always end up doin manual config labor and soft reseting a million times. But thanks a lot for the help! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scabes24:
I should note that the reason I don't use the Exporter is because I used it a bit before and when I would import the settings the bottom row of quicklinks would be all mangled and everything seemed glitchy. does this mean I was doing something wrong? I'm not sure but I think I remember NRGZ28 mentioning something in the changelog about an update/fix for UC so maybe I just need to try again.

How can I tell which Hard SPL / Factory SPL I have?

Hi All,

I have been reading the forums for a couple of weeks and I really want to flash my AT&T Pure with a new TOPAZ ROM. However, I got a second hand PURE and I don't know if they have done any modifications yet.

How can I tell which version or if they did change the stock SPL? Also, if there was a fail during the upgrade of the SPL would it still show the version and the phone still be functional?

This is what the bootloader screen says:

TOPAZ210 32M

SPL-1.83.0000

MicroP-Topaz (LED) v11

Turbo HW/Turbo SW

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scabes24:
It should say

SPL-2.51.OliNex or 1.83.OliNex

And it depends on the error you encountered. Did you try the upgrade already?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snailspeeder:
Thanks for looking into this. Well, I tried once to do upgrade (before checking what SPL version I had) and I got everything, but then the screen just showed 0%. I waited for a little bit, but then I just soft reset because it wasn't progressing. It shouldn't take that long, right? From the thread on the Olinex post, it seems like it should be over in a minute or so.

So does this mean I still have the stock spl?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scabes24:
Possibly, I just upgraded the latest version right when I got the device. I did have a bit of trouble with my upgrade though. Did you follow the steps exactly?

I ended up having to install a cab file (enablerapinew). Then it worked fine.

You can always try removing the battery/SD/SIM for a min or 2, put em back in, establish connection, then follow the steps.

Otherwise you should read the troubleshooting and Q&A.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scabes24:
SPL-1.83.0000 is the stock SPL I'm pretty sure by the way
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snailspeeder:
I tried again following their "automatic flash" but then I got the error of the server being down or something. I will try again. I have flashed ROMs on other phones, but this one is giving me a bit of a problem. I also tried the Manual version, but it didn't put the phone in the bootloader mode, it kinda just stood there.

So you followed the directions like they posted? Any other hints or tips? I installed the enablerapinew too.

EDIT:

I figured it out, I am such an idiot:rolleyes:. Thanks for your help. After installing the enable I did a soft reset. That was what I did not do. Thanks. Any recommendation on a stable ROM? I am looking at Nhathoa's
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scabes24:

Can't get sms dialog to automatically rotate to landscape mode

Hmm, I'm still not sure if this is the right thread to ask a general, non-rom-development topaz question... It says so in the first post, but the thread is located in the rom development section - strange...

Anyway, I'll try: I'm using the latest cookie sense 2.5 energy rom for my diamond2, but the problem existed on all previous (energy) rom versions - whatever I try to add to the touch tools' rotation manager (or g-config), I can't get the sms writing dialog (htc "threaded" or "normal" version) to automatically rotate to landscape mode when I turn my phone. Nothing happens... I have a default hard button assigned for doing that and that works flawlessly. Other apps added to g-config rotate automatically...

I'm desperate, anyone willing to help? Is there some setting I have to enable or some registry tweak to apply or something? I searched the forum but users don't seem to have any problems with that, so I must be doing something wrong...

Thanks!

Possible info about new original ROM update?

Hi,

Probably this is not the first time this question appears, but someone of the "underworld" of cooked roms know if HTC is preparing a original ROM update for Diamond 2, possible based on WM 6.5.3 or 6.5.5 to improve is "quality".

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
I have nothing configured in Rotation manager and my SMS rotates. Not sure why yours isn't but you can set one of your hardware keys to rotate your screen, like on double click or long press.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dn0maid:
Not sure if I'm in the right tread here ... Just reflashed to stock rom and tried relocker. Seemed fine first time. Checked if it was stock SPL, that was ok too. After rebooting again, I'm stuck on the HTC boot screen. Hard reset doesn't seem to work. Now what?

I guess I need to flash again, but I can't flash from Windows because it needs activesync. So I want to flash from microSD, but I can't find an original htc rom image.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Sorry, I was rushed and didn't read that part.

Check in your registry under HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor, make sure you have the string Value "MessageClient" listed in both ModuleName and WhitreList. If not, try adding it; Name = MessageClient, Value = MESSAGING_CLIENT
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
You stated that you flashed back to stock ROM, that is the original ROM image. Assuming its an .exe, right click and extract the .nbh file from it, then follow the SD card procedures, but you should unlock it again first.

hey i saw that on the htc support website for the pure they have a offical rom to download... http://www.htc.com/ca/support/pure-att/downloads/

it is an exe so it must contain the image and the flasher....

i have to questions maybe someone can help clarify...

1. does it have at&t bloatware...?

2. does your phone need to be hspl to flash this rom?

(i dont think you should have to cause why would htc expect you to hspl your device for this rom?)

can anyone help me

i dont really want to hspl or flash custom roms...

side note do the hotfixes on the same site actually work???

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Typically you find your stock ROM with your serial number through HTC support.

I would see if it points to this ROM if you do the query.

This should work without HSPL and should tell you if its not compatible.

The hot fixes work on the stock ROM

To switch from Italian ROM to another language ROM you need to flash HardSPL first. You can find it here in the forum.

With HardSPL you can not only flash any official ROM but as well all the customized ROMs here from the forum.

Adjust phone band selection dialog on European TD2 with Telstra ROM

I flashed my European Touch Diamond 2 with the Telstra WM6.5 ROM and it works perfect so far (incl. HSDPA) on Vodafone Germany which is 2.100 MHz.

The only thing is that I would like to change the Band selection dialog so that it has the correct bands for my European TD2.

The European TD2 has 900/2.100 MHz 3G and the Teltra TD2 has 850/2.100 MHz 3G.

Atm the band selection dialog on my TD2 with Telstra ROM has the following band options:

Auto

GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)

GSM(1900)+UMTS(850)

GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850+2100)

GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850)

It's set to "Auto" and as the bands are hard burned into the phone I guess it should still work at 900 and 2100 3G with it being set to "Auto"

But I wonder if it's possible to change that dialog so that it has the actual 3G band supported by my phone (900 and 2100)?

thx

I connect from remote to my company through Cisco VPN. There is a client on my notebook and I use secure ID.

Can VPN on the EVO allow me to connect with the evo and use it solely to access my company's intranet....or does this just allow vpn connection through tethering though my notebook/evo combo???? or both?

here is what you need:

1) full root

2) busybox installed with symlinks

3) kernel version 2.6.29-a2443432

4) tun.ko from thread 698099

mostly I used the instructions from hxxp://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/wiki/Motorola_Droid_Support.

If you don't want to deal with installing busybox, I know for sure the fresh rom has it already setup.

copy tun.ko into /system/lib/modules

run the command insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

I occasionally have issues disconnecting and/or losing connection to the internet after disconnecting - just enable/disable airplane mode has always fixed it.

there is also a log file in /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc_frontend/files/vpnc that may help troubleshooting connection issues.

edit: you need a farily new version of vpnc from the google code page - I think the one in the market won't work on evo.
