If ya need anything I'm here, but on that miui rom it looks sweet, if they can get it all worked out from chinese to english, and bugs worked out it will be sick, now pack on topic.

Edit... If you can flash A rom you can flash a pri update or wimax update,or prl,nv. But remember never do an ota update, so don't ever go into settings and look for updates, nvr apply them, some will tell you its fine to do htc updates, but I suggest you to just get all your updates from an XDA developer

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatblaster:
I think I know which thread you're talking about. If I remember correctly the sprint rep busted them by booting into fastboot and noticing that S-OFF was enabled when it should've been S-ON. The owner of the phone was like wtf because they thought they unrooted but they missed one very crucial step. I don't know if their phone ever got tagged by sprints e-ticket system but I sure hope not cause that's the equivalent off getting blacklisted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierceye:
I just wanted to say thanks for this thread! This is exactly the information that I have been lurking and searching for here. I'm a noob as far as rooting goes. I have NOT tried to root my phone for exactly the reasons listed. I started searching the internet the day I got my phone and it did not take long to discover XDA. Since then I have been coming to this site almost daily to read for an hour or more. In the first few hours I realized that rooting was not something to horse around with. So thank you for giving me a coordinated starting place for my research!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruben1221:
No prob. Thanks to all the devs, testers, modifiers, and everyone else who had time to work on these phones and develope something awesome we all can use or benefit from. Rooting does give u freedom and access to a whole new level. I have been rooting my phone for years now and lovin it. So thank you devs amd everyone else who made this possible.

Alot of Good info from some really nice and smart people here. Specially the HW assigned to all Noobs. It's helped me alot, and Now I even have a Custom ROM Fresh's 3.3.0.1 is awesome, easy and Just Freaking Cool, and even a custom Theme. Read and read some more. Ask the nice people as well.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bgcngm:
Hello everyone.

I know that there is already a big thread to discuss about Diamond2 clones, but I've decided to create my own thread, only focused on T5388++, to make it clean and organized as I like.

In this thread you'll find all my cooked ROMs. You should be able to get it from my T5388++ 4shared folder! You can bookmark this link. :D The password to access the folder is XDA-Developers.

Feel free to post your comments. I hope you like it! ;)

EDIT: Don't you forget to donate for all my work. I've made some improvements over the official ROMs and you all know it. A lot of downloads of my ROMs have been made, but only a few people have donated. Remember that I do this in my spare time and a little contribution is highly appreciated.

Just for your information, in less than 2 months, there were more than 100 downloads of V1 ROM.

Finally i uploaded this ROM ... and I'm pleased at first sight.

This man just have done great work. It's fast and clean and with good bonuses! Ultra FAST

I hope that i'll be able to donate few $$ soon.

I have question to the cooker : How can i boost to maximum screen sensitivity ?

The only 1 problem is described below by another good user:

And don't remember to fully charge before you begin
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Eer:
Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot bgcngm for all your hard work already so fast. I will try your new ROM next week. Good that you removed the boot firmware so all of us have less chance that the phone will becomes a brick :D

I would like to see the extendir version if I don't ask too much the Manila2D package for DUAL SIM :)

Have fun with cooking.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bgcngm:
Thank you Eer.

I will work on the Extendir ROM maybe this weekend.

Right now I only wanted to release a normal one so that everyone can install without a problem. I had it running in my T5388++ for 3 days and haven't experienced a single SoD. I'm now starting to believe that the SoD's reported by some users are due to hardware problems... Additionally Wifi, GPS, GSensor, Bluetooth, Phone1/2 are fully working.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BIG666:
That's NOT true! I had SOD on my T5388++ every day until i have flashed ROM from previous thread!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bgcngm:
Well, if you are so sure about that, then you should have no SoD with my V1 ROM either. As I said, I have been running it for 4 days without experiencing any SoD.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] castellonero:
First of all, thanks for your work. I think that SOD is a mixture of both, software and hardware, surely these are not all made mobile with the same components, causing problems of instability depending on models depending on hardware. I do not think the solution comes from a magical software, surely that one will be good for another will not.

These are all assumptions clear jejejeje.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BIG666:
I had just installed this ROM.

Common impression: it's VERY fast.

PS:

Today's item "Wireless" is still "squashed" :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bgcngm:
I guess that it will always be squashed. To be honest I haven't tried to fix it because I don't use the old Today anymore. As far as I understand, the plugin doesn't "work" properly with this WM build.

Just for curiosity, why do you enable the old Today screen? Don't you like Titanium?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BIG666:
I don't like new WM6.5-Style "Today" (IMHO it suxx). I'd prefer to use more "ascetic" WM6.1-Style, with several items(plugins) on it: Date/Time, Wireless, SPB Weather, SPB Pocket Plus or Resco Today Plugin
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ThoSi:
I flashed it using the SD method, successfully :).

(Maybe IDT is better, but all of my machines use Win7 x64... which is not working with IDT. Flashing from Virtual XP under Win7 x64 was not option last time, so I was brave.)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bgcngm:
ThoSi, can you tell me how were you able to flash the ROM via SD? When I tried it, I got a message telling that the file size was not correct. My microSD card is formatted as FAT32, but the size (4GB) may be the problem.

I'm also running Win7 x64 in my laptop, so I have to use XP Mode in order to flash via IDT. It fails a lot of times, that's why I choose to remove unneeded parts from the ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BIG666:
I have Win7x64. I'm using VMware with WinXP to run IDT without any problems.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ThoSi:
Kingston micro-SDHC, 4 GB ,FAT32

Phone Off, Turn on with Volume Down button + Power button, then choose yes to upgrade. The ROM was renamed to K3img.bin in the root of SD card.

(I never had error with XP Mode (although sometimes hard to attach USB device to VirtualXP), just i had to lend one of my 2GB RAM, so I have low memory now - not running VXP)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
I believe it has nothing to do with this build, it will look 'squashed' on all VGA and WVGA devices? At least, I had the same sort of issues on my Touch HD when using plugin's that did were not specifically programmed to also support VGA.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
great job!

Maybe also integrate AAreset? I find Windows Mobile behaves a lot better with a daily scheduled reset (I have it at 06h30). I think it may be a good habit for all WM devices. Dump the exe's in /windows and a link in the system menu.

But why remove MS keyboard? Could you not just make it non-default?

PS: did you not also had MMS integrated before?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pits:
I had a bit of improvement with touch screen sensitivity with following adjustments:

I've found this in another thread but dll is the same so.. i think there is kind of

improvement - test and reply

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]

Here i added two lines:

"TouchSensitivity"=dword:8 ; Touch screen sensitivity, max sens. = 1,

min sens. = 63 - of course 1

"PressureFilter"=dword:0 ; 0 - disable Pressure Treshold Filter, 1 -

enable Pressure Treshold Filter - of course 0

I didn't tested other values as long as i sensed improvement, you could.

I also checked this:

HKLM\system\GWE\touch\filter and change the value to 0. Wait 25sec and restart.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kn6000:
Hi!

I have de v3 version installed on my T5388++. I would like to update only the radio. Could you tell me please, how to flash only the radio? And where can I find the last radio update?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
Ah, ok. I thought that Solonomi had the latest "official roms"... My mistake.

Another place to find a german (and other roms) is here.

http://www.htc-topaz.co.cc/files/index.php?dir=ChineseClone_Files/&sort=date&order=asc

Maybe that's the rom you are searching for...

(I cannot confirm it now because I have no IDT currently available)

I didn't do it before because my phone had the latest radio when delivered.

When I'm right the radio is part of a german T5388i rom (look at the XDA-Wiki under "Dual SIM T5388++ ROM versions & links" - always a good choice).

There's also a working download link.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
---deleted---
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
I have this ROM. You are correct about the size - the BIN file is 110,604KB whereas other roms were all around 100,000. If needed, I can upload the rom somewhere.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] MicAlter:
Seems that this is the same rom from the htc-topaz side mentioned above...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ianuskask:
signal bar full power, but not being reachable.

First of all, thanks guys:) I have downloaded German ROM and it worked.

For those experiencing "No signal, but signal bar shows otherwise, you are not reachable" problem.

I have 1 SIM card - network operator is in Slovakia, the other 2. SIM card - network operator is in Austria. For both SIMs roaming is activated.

Afer few days of testing and playing with wireless manager settings of the network, I observed following:

The phone is working without a problem (I am always reachable) when you select the same operator for roaming as you have one for the other card in that country. An example: In Austria SIM1 is A1 operator, so for slovak SIM 2 I choose A1 operatorfor roaming, while staying in Austria. If the other for example Orange or T-mobile is used, I am not reachable even if signal bar shows otherwise.

For sure this does not solve when you would like to use 2 diff. operators within one country.

Do you have the same experience?

Chinese ROMs

Hi all,

I have registered myself at different chinese forums: mobileuncle.com, www.592znj, etc. and using google page translator :)

Can you advise me which chinese forum is the best in terms of availability of the newest ROMs, etc?

I downloaded different versions of S650 ROMs, which are obviously in chinese.

Is there any way how to localize them into english? If yes, could you tell me which tools should be used?

The other thing I am wondering about is version description of the ROMs. For example: "2010.6.23 the latest dual sim dual standby S650 23622 ROM"

What does the number after S650 and before ROM mean? In this case "23622" ?

For One of the newest ROM it was stayted that 2 different ring tones can be set up for SIM. Would it help, bgcnmg to provide you with this one in case you would like to implement this feature (bug) in future V4 ROM?

Best regards Ivan

Hi bgcngm

I just ordered the same HD2 as you have. I was doubting for a while, because I am still hoping there will be a 3G soon, with MTK already having shipped chipsets last year. Anyway, should have it in 10 days or so.

Apart from your blog, is there already a XDA thread on this phone?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bgcngm:
No, I haven't created any thread on XDA, but only in ETEN Users: http://www.eten-users.eu/index.php?showtopic=21207. That is due to the fact that I had an ACER DX900 (the first Windows Mobile smartphone) in the past and many users from that forum know me and want an alternative to that phone. Do you think it would be better to create a dedicated thread here on XDA?

P.S.: Have you provided the voucher code to Etowalk?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
You mean the first *dual sim* windows mobile smartphone...

Anyway: not needed for me. That eten thread seems well informed with several active users already having the model. Its alive, so lets keep it alive and not fragment.

Maybe the only thing to do is to add it the model to the Wiki for reference, so others can find the thread.

Edit: I kickstarted the wiki for generic MTK6516 phones. Please add to it what you know.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] kn6000:
Hi! guys!

I'd like to know if is there anybody trying to "cook" a new rom to solve the "call failed" and the hidden storage card problem for the T5388++ .
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BIG666:
Hey! Everyone who experienced SOD in the official firmware, and who had not experienced - what capacity is your SD-card? There are suspicions that it is connected ..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
I'm using a 4Gb Kingston card and have never experienced this problem in approx 12 months of ownership.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bgcngm:
Same here. Never had a SoD with my Kingston 4GB microSD card.

However, when I changed to an OEM 2GB card, I had some SoD's... so it may really be connected to the size and type of the card.

Problem updating rom

Hi

I have updated rom in t5388+ and with bgcngm´s Rom and it doesn´t start properly because appears htc screen and it restarts again everytime.

With solonomi´s Rom until calibrate it´s ok, but i can´t calibrate the screen, because it asks me again everytime to calibrate and it doesn´t calibrate and it doesn´t go on, and i can´t use the phone, because it stops in that point.

If anyone has any solution i´ll thank, because i have the phone off.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] mr nick:
Is this a typing error or have you really got a T5388+ (single plus)? Note that this thread is for the T5388++ (double plus) so you could well be flashing your phone with an incorrect rom.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] javiertxepas:
Sorry, but really my phone is t5388++, with Qualcomm 600MHz and 480x800 WVGA.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
It's been a while, but if I remember correct, you cannot immediately flash with bgcngm's latest ROM. you first have to install the latest official English ROM, than bgcngm's first released ROM, and then bgcngm's latest ROM.

Or something like that. Don't ask me to provide exact details, just read this entire thread. (I also would have to do so) It was mentioned somewhere.

Also, when you flash, ensure you have 2 SIM and a SD card in the phone. If those are not in the phone on firstboot, it does not configure them properly.

Mind: If you have a screen calibration error on the official ROM's, you may also have a screen calibration error on bgcngm's ROM's.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] llbasha:
First, I would like to thank bgcngm for his great work. I very much understand and appreciate the efforts and time it takes to cook such ROM. Confirmation number: 5BG45723CN745933W

Second, word for everyone do not expect perfect rom, it does not and will never exist! Official or un-official.

I had my phone for over a year and never had ANY serious problem like those mentioned here however, I had to struggle for while to find MMS to work and setup automatically. Setup wizards did not work, may be because I often use 2 different SIM (from 2 different countries and 2 different operators).

My current rom is C03.020.01 ENG dated 2010-04-19 and radio 4-16-2010 20:16:30 and protocol BASE_W09.20.P4

The SD card I got with phone came with, what I thought, is a backup rom. The FLASH.bin is dated 11 Jan 2010 and size 74.1MB with LOADER.BIN dated 5 Jan 2010 and size 768KB. IDT did not recognize it as correct rom/flash file.

Are all of you have the same information for this phone?!

Most important is the rom on the net mentioned here is the same as the one above on my device???? This is because I found 2 files: one 107.7MB (I believe is same as my device) and the other is 102.3MB !!!

I downloaded V3 and installed it but I regret to say I could not stand this annoying SD card problems and fear of losing data for ever at a critical time. I hope bgcngm would be able to come up to newer version soon.

Thanks

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bgcngm:
From those specs, I would say you have a T5388i, so my ROM won't work on your phone.

Did you gave up as well? Do you have any update?

Thanks

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bgcngm:
Yes, this should be probably dead to almost everyone.

I don't have the phone anymore. Right now I own a G11i Pro (Android 2.3 Dual SIM). If there's anyone interested you can have a look at my blog.

Hi.

I've try to test you ROM and it's works fine and very fast.

The new g-sensor software is great.

Many thanks.

I miss only TouchFLO 3D :D ;)

But I have a problem with all ROMs for this mobile phone.

The sound volume is to low with my Bluetooth Headsets (Sony and Plantronics). I couldn't belive that the low volume is a problem with the hardware and I hope you have fix it but also your ROM had the same problem.

I changed a lot of registry settings but all of this have no effect on the bluetooth sound volume.

The first was:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Volume\AcodecWaveRecvSpkHsVol to Dec: 218958089

(Louder on phone - however a usefull setting. Your volume setting is very low)

And the follwoing for Bluetooth (msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms880945.aspx)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\SpkVolume to 16

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\MicVolume to 16

But the volume is still to low. :-(

In my car bluetooth hands free enviroment it was ok.

If you solve this problem, you are my personal hero. :D

Thank you for you great work.

Cheers

On original C03.001.001 and C03.020.001 this item looks normally.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BIG666:
By the way, i have revealed another bug. From time to time, when device wakes up, the Storage Card behaves it self like it was ejected and then inserted again.

UPD: Searching through the Internet i've found this problem common for many device manufacturers (even for brand names like Eten) and relates to power management of SD card.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Alx72em:
Hello bgcngm. Yesterday flashed your ROM. I liked your work.

I noticed a slight inaccuracy:

1. In Contacts, "call from SIM..." duplicated;

2. In Calendar, the wrong color font for weekdays.

You can make a ROM without any programs? Not all users need built-in programs. Users install their favorite programs. Built-in programs can be laid out by individual *.cab files with the description. Thanks again!
