Hi All,

Having an error when flashing my Telstra Australia (A8183, WCDMA 850) branded HTC Desire.

I was attempting to flash a stock ROM (To remove all the Telstra software)

Following the giffgaff (hxxp://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Other-Off-Topic/Debranding-Unlocking-an-HTC-Desire/td-p/23317) guide I was able to successfully create a gold card (Using the 2GB Micro SD that the phone came with),

However I couldn't flash the device because i got a Error 140: Bootloader Version Error

In the step before it said I was going From Version 1.16.841.1 To Version 1.15.405.3

I tried two ROMS:

RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe

and

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe

Any idea what the error means or how I can get around it?

Thanks in advance :D

Avatar Leo series, Iteration X

Speed, stability and usability... Aim for the highest user experience possible!

Sense 2.5 has been in the works now for more than 7-8 months now, and its the only Sense branch still in development.

Since the memory management of Sense 2.5 is better suited for the COM3/4/5 builds, I will use the -currently- best option available (COM4) to be the base.

Enterprise V 21680 (Leo Sense) - Download HERE

Enterprise IV 21914 (Leo Sense 2.5.2018)

Leo dialer version (only conference call, but much faster) - Download HERE

Rhodium dialer version (video + conference call, slower) - Download HERE

Enterprise III 23138 (Sense 2.5.2019) - Download HERE

Personal recommendations:

Use radio 4.49.25.91 - this works best with 2.53 base ROMs

Use Lumos for excellent backlight management. Get it HERE

Use Total Commander CE for file management and registry edits. Get it HERE

I would like to thank the original authors for the following components used in Avatar:

Great to see a new 2.5 ROM using the latest WM builds, I'll certainly be trying this out.

Question though, will you also be offering a completely clean version of your ROM? i.e. without any graphical mods like taskbars, themes etc.. I prefer as close to stock as possible so I can mod myself.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
I use the stock 6.5.3 HTC theme, the only graphical mod is DarkNinja's taskbar.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] middlep1:
What's your ETA for the download to be available?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
15 minutes :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
First Iteration released

1st post updated with the download link, enjoy!

Consider this a very late RC build, as this is my first 2.5 ROM! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Scabes24:
wow that was quick! downloading now :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
LOL

And I just downloaded the latest HTC Huashan ROM, so expect a few updates in the next couple of days...

I also see a new HTC Messaging client, so lets see if that brings anything new... :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] YNWA:
sreenshots?

any screenshots?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] keanyiap:
+1...try your avatar series before and the speed is great...will try your latest Avatar L-I Pro and hopefully you will release a clean rom without graphical mod like Aman...btw, thanks your hard work...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Screenshot added to 1st post.

You can see the only difference vs stock is the taskbar in the picture.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] middlep1:
My SonicWALL antivirus server is flagging the ROM download file up as having a Trojan Crypt.S_3

Could you please scan the zip archive with an up to date antivirus app to check, I've never had this before with a ROM download from XDA
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Scabes24:
Updates are always nice :) hopefully the messaging client is fast..

Good job on this version though, very clean! (and the storage/RAM didn't drop much at all)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Scabes24:
Some people were pickin up trojans from energyROMs too I think.

Pretty sure its fine
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
I'm using Mcafee Enterprise with latest updates and it does not show anything...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] middlep1:
The AV server is an enterprise solution I have no control over so I'll have to wait until I get home to download and test it.

Just had a look at the screenshot too, like the clean look, very stock, but I hate the taskbar, probably cos I'm a designer, I'm actually working on my own taskbar mod, but time is tight at the moment to finish it off.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] yiap:
just found a problem, when rotate in landscape mode in picture tab and music tab, the taskbar and bottom bar did not disappear like it should...did only me got this bug??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
No, its a bug... :D

I'll fix it for the next release.

In the meantime, go to HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila

And change "EnableFullscreen" from 1 to 0 to disable the rotation.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
Fantastic job you have done with L-V Pro! Keep on ...

Minor comments:

1) the time font size in lock screen is huge. How can I reduce it or even change it (registry, cab)?

2) Opera 10 icon in start menu could be of better quality than this

3) Rhodium dialer is removed from L-V while it was present in L-IV (nothing mentioned in 2nd post)

4) I wish Stocks tab could be inserted in some magic way

Thanks again (it has been long time before I was impressed with a ROM)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
I can correct all of this, except the Opera icon, that is the default... :D

Actually, the 2018 Core does not support a Stocks tab... So to have it back, I would need to use the 2016 Manila...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
About Sense builds

@all: I am in a battle:

You see, Manila builds above 2016 are geared towards an East Asian market (funny icons, funny pictures, no Stocks), so with Manila 2017 and 2018 I am struggling to get it working just right.

So I am taking a new direction from today, with these in focus

1. Close to stock as possible

2. Fastest possible

3. Business oriented

So with these in mind, the following will happen:

1. I will remain on the COM2 builds

2. Manila 2016 for now (for the core) - to have stocks and normal icons back

3. Upgrade everything else from the newest (ie 2018) build - HTC Messaging, contact editing, etc...

4. Rhodium dialer with video and conference calls

5. For Call History and Home Tab agenda, use Cookie Home Tab 1.6.1, which is very fast with the right tweaks!

HERE is a test build...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Xenomoff:
So you will stop with your Omega roms? That's to bad :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
For now, until the COM3/4 builds become more stable. I do not like replacing essential system files from older builds just to have the newer builds working...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
Here are 3 more comments:

1) when I try to send an SMS a "Network Selection" window pops up with options

C No operator

G No operator

I tried these registry entres:

bu to no avail cause after a sof reset the Dword values returned back to 0

2) My Bluetooth headset after pairing wth my device appears as disconnected although it is fully functional

3) In bluetoorh settings there is no profiles tab (where you could see A2DP and SAP present). Is it normal?

Both 1) and 2) problems are not related with you cooking as they are present in other ROMs also (I tested TESS Prime V and does not face them)

One general comment also on

These are very wise choices!

But I like so much L-V, that I wish I could stay with it, provided that the issues that it faces were addressed (especially Rhodium dialer + SMS "Network Selection"...I could forget about Stocks tab)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
Oops...it seems the SMS issue calls for a major update according to nhathoa:

http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7592146&postcount=2953

If this is correct, and since SMS function is vital, I think that a new ROM is coming very shortly
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Chongie:
Hi,

I have another small bug I would like to report for L-V...

In albums the left soft button does nothing..

It used to give me the option the switch to different folder that contained photos..

other a good rom.. do not miss the stock at all..

Thanks.

Chong
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
I will update in the afternoon! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
:D:D:D I think your wife will either destroy your Topaz or kill you one day for cooking all the time :D:D

Thanx anyway!!

So you will release these:

Or just fixes to L-V?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] johnny.g:
very sweet ROM - especially the improved Sense graphics.. i have a problem with touchpal - it sinks to the bottom of the screen & hides the menu bar.. the stock keyboard is fine .. any ideas ? i've tried re-installing it. cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
But I just flashed Nhathoa's ROM with Manila 2.5.20182814 and it features a Stock tab, so it is possible ;)

It also has no problem with SMS. Maybe you should contact him...if he is willing to share his knowledge

If you also add the Rhodhium dialer then...tadaaaaa all problems solved!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Kinto:
For me it will be awesome if you will use the normal SMS Client (not the HTC one: much more slower) and Opera 9.7 (for the working zoom bar).

However it is up to you :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] hengmy:
any idea why i cant sent sms using the latest Avatar L-V Pro?

i can receive sms but when i send it ask me to choose operator :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] steven789:
Just flashed to L-V. Very nice ROM and look good. But have to report that besides the SMS problem, the Facebook album also doesn't work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
As I said earlier, I am reverting back to Manila 2.5.2016, to maintain stability. I guess it is possible to have Stocks tab, but with system hacking, and I do not want to do that - for stability.

I am building the ultimate 2016 Manila with 2018 side components now - fixed SMS sending, FB album, Rhodium dialer - the works! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
I will release those - as a fix to L-V. It will be my new Avatar B-line (Business).

I will scratch the CHT idea, because of speed issues (still waaay better than CHT 1.8.5, but still slow for my taste...)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] steven789:
SMS problem solved!

Just simple registry edit will solve the SMS network problem:

1. Make sure Messaging client is not running. Use task manager to end it.

2. Use a registry editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\Messaging

Find "SupportDualMode" and change the dword value to 0.

3. Then, choose your network in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\Messaging\Network"

"SMSPreferredNetwork"=dword:00000002

"MMSPreferredNetwork"=dword:00000002

0= ASK FOR PREFERRED NETWORK

1=CDMA

2=GSM

4. Softreset and it's done. ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Thanks for the info!

Actually, I find it better to use the client from the Huashan ROM, which by nature is built to support only 1 SIM... And its the same 2018 build, so that will be included in the new ROM! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] hengmy:
Cant wait for the coming rom which fixed all the bugs :D

Btw, does anyone know how to reduce the vibration while typing?

Avatar series rom seem like vibrate very hard, any registry tweak can fix this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Avatar B-I released

@all: 1st and 2nd post updated with new download! Enjoy! :D

I hope every little bug has been fixed now... ;-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] hengmy:
Thank bro :)

downlaoding now :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] otn5168:
I need Sim Tool Kit (for Bank Service)

Does anybody know where I can get the STK software ?

Thanks ...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] steven789:
Well, most of the bugs are fixed but the FB online album is still not working.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
I flashed B-I and almost all "critical" issues were addressed. Kristof is indeed a very dedicated chef. Thanx!

Minor issues that remain are those regarding Bluetooth (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7773986&postcount=186) and that is:

1) BT headset is in fact connected but going to All settings-Bluetooth it shows as disconnected

2) In the same window only 3 tabs are present (Devices, Mode, COM Ports) while other tabs (such as Profile) is missing (maybe this is normal but I report it anyway). So there is no way to know if SAP Profile is included

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

I also have a request for a registry hack:

How can I disable the option "Enable faster data synchronization"?

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

Here is also a file that I "stole" from the previous L-V ROM that I think many people will find useful to add in their Quick Link buttons:

View attachment CallHistory.rar

It gives instant access to Call History a feature so much missed by me after upgrading to Sense 2.5 from 2.1

Thanx again for a great ROM Kristof!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
BT issues: I could not get more tabs to show in the Sense 2.5 ROMs, even though I searched very hard... I'll try to add more tabs to the bluetooth settings... :)

As for the registry hack, I have no idea, but it should be there somewhere... :D

And thanks! From now on, I will take my time to release only good ROMs, and not to hurry things (unless of course something great comes in...)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Scabes24:
Nice work! :D

Why the Sense downgrade?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
There are two brands of the new Sense 2018.

- the Huashan Sense 2.6.2018 - but this is unusable since the coding of picture files is different

- the Oboe Sense 2.5.2018 - usable, but cartoon-like icons and the whole Sense is built to support 2 SIM cards, which makes it unusable unless there is some serious modifying to be done...

So the Core and the Manila tabs are from the latest Leo line, and everything else (Scrolling driver, Messaging, etc. are from Huashan/Oboe ROM)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Chongie:
Hi,

Great ROM.

Fast and Stable...

There is one thing I have noticed...

After receiving a SMS while the phone is locked.The lock screen is not giving a SMS slide button to unlock the phone and see the SMS...

Hopefully a small (register) fix..???

Chongie
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Hmmm... I'll look into this...

Though it seems that MS has started to cut back on COM2 releases... And COM3 releases are picking up...

Seems it might be time to move on then... Any thoughts, anybody? :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Chongie:
hhmm...

I do not really ask for much.

But the COM3 build that is stable, fast and has a low memory profile has my reference... ;-)...

Really we all here trust your judgement...

Will be waiting here for the latest Avatar release.

Chong
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
I am now toying with a 23132 / Sense 2016 combo... It seems that COM3 is the way to go speed-wise, so I will go the distance... :D

I will not mix 2018/2016 Manila, as it gives unexpected bugs (ie. no alarm sound)...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] darkforum:
Hi kristofpetho, I'm using the B-1 now and I only found out that the mylocation screen is still bugged (no letters, I can only see 2 empty buttons and 1 empty checkbox).

Beside that did you have time to make the games cab?

Also when setting the alarm I still cannot see the ringtones and alarms you gave me that I copied in the Windows directory. How can I fix it? Installing the diamond files via cab worked..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Only wav files can be alarms. Did you check that?

Can you post a screenshot of the Mylocation bug? I do not know what you mean, sorry... :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
The END

@all: My Topaz is screwed, and is beyond its service guarantee... So I gues this is it, as I would not like to release anything not tested...

I am sorry, but it was FUN while it lasted... :(

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Chongie:
Really!!!!!!???????

That is a shame...

What happened? Is it really beyond repair?

really gonna miss the avatar series..

Thanks for the fun.

Any idea what your next fun is going to be?

chongie
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
Another good chef we are going to miss besides ljankok: now kristofpetho. And it seems Aman has also stopped (device problems and no update since June 30th...)

It is really a curse for Topaz owners...:(

Thanks Kristof, I really appreciate all your hard work and prompt responses in resolving all issues
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Well, whenever I have a card in the microSD slot, the device does not work... So basically, this makes in unusable for me... :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Thanks guys... I appreciate all this...

As for what's next, I am using my Nokia E5 now (full qwerty), and the HD2 is "too old", so I'll wait for HTC's next incarnation - hopefully there will be a Touch Diamond 3... :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] steven789:
:(Bad news for us all. Anyway, thanks for all the Avatar series of ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] hengmy:
Sad to hear this news :(

Anyone can guide me on how to reduce the typing vibration?

Really wish to use this room but the typing vibration was too high :(:(:(:mad::mad::mad:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Well, its only my SD slot that doesn't work... I could still test this, so without an SD slot, its quite unusable for me... :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
im also waiting for new incarnation, as my topaz is in repair centre which is gonna cost me about 160-170 USD and that means i dont plan to keep it for long once it is back from service centre. i really hope HTC release a 'good' WM 7 based device before the end of this year. btw, im using my 5 years old Nokia 6681 these days :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] EgorLev:
to bad you are leaving! will we see FINAL 24xxx build with sense 2.1?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Yeah, I am hoping HTC will get their act together... I do not want a big screen and I do not want Android...

I want a sleek WM7 smartphone, which is fast... As I said, a Touch Diamond 3 will suffice... :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
I couldn't agree more on Diamond 3...

3 small changes would be enough:

1GHz processor + better battery + LED flashlight...but if I had to choose one out of the three, I'd choose the 1GHz processor...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Scabes24:
Yeah the 1ghz Processor would be nice :) ..or dual core.

@kristofpetho:

Sad to see you go bud, but nice work on the final piece :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Scabes24:
Have you seen these two articles about upcoming devices?

HTC Vanguard

HTC Ace - AKA Desire HD

Sorry for the off topic.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
not interested in android based devices.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
+1 on this one... :D

WM gives the most felxibility, not to mention perfect Exchange sync and Outlook sync..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Scabes24:
Agreed

I misread your post and thought you said you wanted an android device.

Have you seen/heard about the Schubert? Looks nice! (if it comes out with WP7 that is..)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Judging from the size and the structure, it might as well be the Touch Diamond 3... :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Scabes24:
I know right? I feel like the Diamond 3 should be ALL black though :) but yeah the design and size do look like a Diamond 3.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tuniel:
off topic, but i'm in the same situation... i'd like to test the avatar B series, but without a touchscreen is quite impossible... back to nokia as well!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
+1

It seems though that HTC is very much supporting Android. I also have to wait for a new WM device (HTC Spark???) since my screen has dead pixels (?) and fixing it costs a fortune

EDIT:

Or maybe:

http://wmpoweruser.com/htc-obsession-to-be-the-htc-diamond3/
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
yes i've heard about it and im really curious to get more authentic details about this device.

got a call from HTC service centre that they have replaced the motherboard and the new one has 3 months' warranty. so i just have to go and collect it from there, pay the repair charges and then i want to use it for these 3 months before selling, if i find a good WP 7 device by then.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
And if no good WP7 devices are out? What then?

If HTC is keen on keeping the Diamond family on a 2-year period, then by winter we should have some details on the Diamond 3... :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] !Aman!:
then i'll stick with Topaz or start searching for a Nokia :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] darkforum:
The B-II is great but did you have time to make the cab for the games? Or do you know where I can get them?

Thank you!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] jono_l:
Sorry to hear about your Topaz kristofpetho. Thanks for leaving us with a great ROM nonetheless. Using Avatar B-II Pro and with a few minor tweaks it's damned near perfect - this will be the last ROM I'll be flashing for a while.

For me, I found a glitch with the incoming call position leaving a gap between the taskbar and the screen. I was able to fix this by sourcing the (correct version of) phcanhtc.dll with the incoming call position fix applied (thanks to a package from PdaXpert). In case anybody else is having this problem, I have uploaded the phcanhtc.dll that should fix it - so far it doesn't seem to have broken anything else.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kristofpetho:
Thanks for the fix! :) Also, I seem to have managed to fix my Topaz... So... I am back!!! I will, from now on concentrate on: official COM3 branch with official Sense 2.5 (which is now 2018, which surfaced 2 days ago)...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] neveceral:
so welcome back! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] harisg:
:):):) great news

SO no more COM2 releases, right?
