Official HTC rom for diamond - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi, I'm pretty new to this flashing business so go easy on me! I know there are a lot of roms out there but I'm finding it tricky to pick out some of the good ones. In the meantime I would just like to put the updated stock HTC rom on there as I've got the ghastly tmobile one on my MDA Compact IV.
Now, to my understanding I need hardspl for cooked roms, but for official roms i wont need. If this is the case, how is it done? Could anyone shed some light on this??
Thanks

You might still need an unsigned hardspl as the original HTC rom won't be for your region or operator.
Best thing is to try an flash a ROM to your phone. If you get an error message then you know you'll need to change your hardspl.

i tried the official htc rom without hardspl and it didnt work. Ive upgraded to signed hardspl now, do u think it should work?

Stuck At 28%

I know there are others experiencing the 28% death wall while trying to flash WM6, but there doent seem to be any specific solutions to this.
I have a Dopod D810 and has already installed 1.30 olipro. Just trying to flash to the official WM6 ANZ Rom. No luck.
Any suggestions guys?
Should just be a very straight forward procedure. Flashing a Dopod with an official Rom.
should be, but it's not... mine is Dopod asia, and stuck at 28% when flashing. Not too sure, but really seemed to me that it was something related to hard-spl. After the 28% error, i reflashed an unofficial rom and tried the official again.
eventually it worked for me.
i guess you don't technically need to manually enter hard-spl first before flashing official ROM.. if anything went wrong i guess you could send it back to them..
safest is to use a modified RUU so it just flashes ROM without IPL + SPL.. i thiiiiiink problem is something to do with SPL
which unofficial rom did u reflash it to? I've been going back and forth with AX3L_OS v3.0.0.2 and the official ANZ dopod rom.
tried about 5 times now. still trying. each time it fails at 28% it's another 10 minutes to flash backto the unofficial rom.
maybe if i try to trce ur steps exactly it might work.
i was flashing to some pdaviet ROM, but i don't think that would make any difference from ax3l's...
have you tried flashing the official ROM with a modified RUU, or you really want the whole package...
If you're just trying to keep everything official i guess you could try to flash the official rom without manually entering bootloader and take your chances. Being that its an official ROM i guess it's safer, or at least covered in warranty..
One question, why don't you try to flash to official WM5 ROM, then to official WM6.. since technically it's supposed to work that way
seriously, i'm not sure why you'd want the official one though.. it's nothing special
Yeah I've tried flashing back to the official WM5 and then WM6, same story.
Tho I havent tried flashing the official WM6 through modified RUU, mainly coz i dont know how to.
Also, In the AX3L version of WM6, there doesnt seem to be a phonepad input method. only keyboard and block recongniser and one other one. Is that coz it's a modified rom, or does WM6 not have the phone pad input. if that's the case i can forget about flashing to WM6 all together.
can't remember if official wm6 has phonepad, but you can just install a cab for it, so it's not a big deal.
look on my site for a link to modified RUU official ROM... instructions are here
i had a lot of problems being stuck at 28%
what eventually i got it to flash to the aus rom was i used SPL 1.20 then it seemed to flash fine.
for some reason my phone doesnt like any other version of SPL besides the one on the latest aus rom either, i flashed to a cooked rom and couldnt flash back until i had put spl 1.20 back in then flashed back to the aus rom.
I have the same problem with 28% stucking
I try to reflash but I still have the same
do you have hard-spl? if so, which version? If you do, flash back a cooked ROM..
if not, you need to try to flash official ROM..
if neither is working, use splxploit. I think all links you need are in this thread already
I have a same problem.
I was upgraded from WM5 to Hong Kong Official WM6 chinese ROM, then I want to change to Official English ROM, I did the Hard-SPL 1.3 and get the SuperCID, but when upgrading the WM6 English officeial ROM, this was stuck at 28%.
Now I was able to flash back to WM5 rom, but I world like to Upgrade to WM6 official ROM, anyone help?
I had this problem when upgrading to the Australian WM6 official HTC Release. The way around it is to run the Trinity Service Provider & CID unlock program from the link below. Dont know why but to use either release, Dopod or HTC WM6 you must run this tool first.

Hope this helps
you don't *have* to CID unlock your device to use these upgrades..
again, sometimes it gets stuck, sometimes it seems to work.. you can just keep trying.. mine magically worked after a while. the most sure method is to use a modified RUU, of which there's a few on the forums and a few threads regarding these issues..

HI, Thank for your reply, how can I do the modified RUU?
Hi all,
I have success to flash the WM6 official ROM.
this is my experience:
To flash the Radio ROM first, I has flash the 1.50.08.11 Radio ROM.
Then to download the Dutty NBH Tool to take off the Radio DOM of WM6 official ROM.
Then to flash the modify ROM.
Now, my phone is running WM6.

Learn something new everyday. Never knew that simply modifying the RUU would itself allow the updates. Just tried it, and yes it works also.

Reverting back to HTC ROM and SPL for warranty return?

At the point I am I need the help of experienced Users from the community.
I flashed a original HTC Wings (S730) with WM 6.1 ROM. It runs perfectly until I got a hardware problem (radio) . This is the reason I have to send it back to the official service.
Therefore I tried to go back to an official ROM from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WINGS_WM61_Alcaline
At first I flashed the earlier backuped Bootloder via sspl-0.91-wings.exe. This seems to be okay. But as I tried to flash an official ROM from the site mentioned above, during the flashing process I've got the note 'ERROR 294 Invalid vendor ID'. What was wrong? Did I forget any step?
Please, is there anyone who can describe the correct way back to 'warranty' for a newbie?
Thanx a lot.
have you tried all the ROM's? there is one prerelease and two release ROM's.. try both of the release roms, they might be for different production models/locations.
I tried both official released ROM's (signed as 'Ship'), not the prerelease version.
and if you first flash the shiped rom (with hardspl) and when done flash the back-up of the spl
With reference to an earlier statement of bigflavour in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383617&page=17
I flashed back the original SPL at first.
Too bad It seems to be that I have a new problem now. Few minutes ago I have tried to reinstall hardSPL on the device via the well known sspl-0.91-wings.exe running on the Wings. But as I started the sspl, the device shows on the display that 'Access denied....is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate'.
Thereupon I thought I had to 'application_unlock' the device. After running the SDA_App...Unlock on my PC the display message shows succesful unlocking process. B U T, the sspl doesn't run as before.
Now, I'm totally confused. What has happened??
It's flavor, and unfortunately, I have no idea how to help you.
Probably tried the European english's spelling hehe.
Also This does seem like an odd problem, have you tried for kicks doing the factory reset to see if it will reset some of the registry and maybe fix your issues? I dont know anything about the spl's since I have no need to upgrade to 6.1, I wouldnt imagine it causing any more damage but again I dont know what all was done. I havnt followed those threads for a long time.
Thanx a lot. Apparently, the hint to make a hard reset hits the mark. Now I flashed back the HardSPL. So I'm back at the starting line . Does anyone knows if the official ROM from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._WM61_Alcaline is the latest one and can I use it for the warranty return?
Or should I look for an original German HTC ROM?
I was a little bit to fast. I will need a German ROM definitely, because the ROM from the Wiki doesn't include a the german language option.
Is there anyone who can help me with a original HTC S730 ROM for the german market?
Thank you in advance.
Hallo HSN,
if you give me a introduction how I backup my ROM, you can have my one. I own a German HTC S730. But I am confused when I read all threads about flashing etc....
One page introduction how to back up and you can have my one.
But I think that the Repair center here in Germany, doesn't care about the Rom you have installed.

where i can find the T-mobile ROM and Radio for Diamond

I have searched a lot of places, please help. Where I can get the latest T-mobile ROM and Radio for Diamond? Thanks a lot.
I think you will struggle. I looked for quite some time before flashing my MDA with Swiftblades ROM (in case I needed to send it back for repair). In the end I gave up and just went for it!

The thing with this link is you have no idea what SPL you need to use do you? I havent flashed mine yet from t-mobile stock but Im aware you need to use HardSPL to flash a cooked ROM right? In which case what does this .exe do and what HardSPL does it need.
Like the poster - I like the security of being able to role back....not so keen on a one way ticket even if everyone seems to tell me its the way to go to bring the diamond to life..
Yes, I am looking for the latest ROM and Radio for MDA Compact IV, I don't know if the ROM upstaires of UK is the right one for T-Mobile MDA Compact IV.Please help. If the theme color is pink? Thanks a lot.
do not flash to the rom in the link provided as this is a very old version of the ROM which is extremely slow, instead wait for someone to dump the new ROM (or just keep the old one as a failsafe for warranty like i have) and go to a cooked rom instead ^^

That link has all the same versions as what T-Mobile are currently shipping...it might be very old...but its what Ive got at the moment...just dont know how to use that .exe and what SPL etc.....
Does anyone know how to dump the rom currently in your phone out to something that you can reprogram it with later if needed?
[Q] MDA compact IV (German T-Mobile)
i have the same Problem.
The German T-Mobile-Version has changed/invertet HW-Buttons!
The original
So, if i find a ROM and Patch my MDA4, will it work? Or do i need a very special version beacuse of the invertet HW-Buttons (Keys?)?
Where may i fond a "how to" to find the way to find the right ROM i can use?
tnx
I have just got a replacement from t mobile yesterday. It is the same version in this page. No new version has been released yet. I use hardspl 1.24 from jocky and then use duttys v2 rom. Works ok. When I had to return mine i used the above link and then used SPL 1.37 which it ships with. You can find stock spls by doing a search.

Why did you get a replacement - was it to try and get one with a newer ROM? Ive got a week left in which to return mine if I want to - which I dont. I really like the phone but its a bit slow and klunky with 1.37.x.x
Nice to know youhave managed to use that .exe though...so you whacked SPL 1.37 on it which you found somewhere on here and then executed the .exe and bosh....back to old ROM/Radio?

yea. Thats about right. First you have to flash the stock rom and radio in the link. Then last of all get the stock spl and flash it. Then it will be like the stock t-mobile you will get from the shop
the phone was faulty. thats why it was replaced. It came with the same old rom though.
anyone know now what to do with a t-mobile MDA IV ?
I am still not able to decide if i will buy a t-mobile (can get it for 300 euro, no contract) or buy a original.
I've given in and bought one, and, hopefully it will be here by Thursday, it works out at £285 over 12 months but only 150/150 mins/txts (I've only gone over that twice in the last 2 years)
I've had my mdac3 for 18 months and it has been returned/replaced 5 times, every time it has had a 'non tmobile' rom on it and they haven't batted an eyelid, so why is everyone suddenly worried about flashing back to an original rom? Surely if your phone knacks up badly enough that it has to be returned then you would struggle to put the old rom back anyway?

Diamond just arrived

Bought one from Ebay for a good rpice though the photo should an unbrabded box. Turns up and it's an orange one.
Now I;m not fussed if was a Fisher price branded one though the ROM does worry me as the HTC website won;t let download the official ROM.
What are my options. I love the phone and would keep it (asked for a kick back anyway due to false advertising) though if I can;t upgrade the ROM I would be pee'd. It's got a cooked ROM by Olinex???
ROM Version 1.37.405.1.WWE
ROM Date 06/12/08
Radio Version 1.20.OliNex
What should I do??
Cheers
Looks like the one you got it from (sim-)unlocked it.
There should be HardSPL on your phone, so its no problem to flash an unbranded rom.
Had alook and can't find hardspl..phones woerks fine with my Vodafone sim and the data connection is all set up.
Just the fact that I wanted the official ROM on it and not sure if this is possible?
Been a while since i bothered with ROMs etc
searched the whole phone and HardSPL is not there???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
hope this helps
did the SPL check and it does indeed have SPL1.40.
Does that mean I can flash the official HTC rom? straight over what I have?
Thanks....

There is no STOCK rogers rom for the Diamond. Flash the one noted above, it is a COPY of the stock rom, extracted from a stock Rogers Diamond. It does not contain the SPL for Boot splash, other than that it IS a stock ROM.
