could anyone give me the link to get this?
As you are asking in the Himalaya section, I assume your question is in relation to there being an official WM6 rom for this device.
The answer is no. There is not even an official WM5 rom for the Himalaya.
My understanding is that WM2003 and 2003SE were the last official roms.
Microsoft makes its money by combining with manufactures to sell a device complete with an OS. That way, when people want a new OS, the only official route is generally to purchase a new device, thereby keeping both Microsoft and manufacturers happy.
Microsoft, I believe, allows updating within a certain ROM (as of WM5), but not an upgrade to a certain ROM.
thank u for ur quick reply there.. now i understand

Yes I believe you are correct about it only being officially released in Chinese, though I vaguely remember something about it being on an official site in Ireland, or possibly on the XDAII fan site (but taken from the official site). If I get a chance I will investigate.
Edit1: Here is the link to the one mentioned above by Rudegar.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=230279
And here is the other links I was mentioning (about the Rom for Irish users and users in the UK) however it was only an update to 2003, not the 2003SE Rom. Having said that, it is probably the last official update (though may not work the same on all roms if it was only made for those two areas). Also note that this is software, v1.72.181, and there was a v1.72.187, though I am out of my league discussing it (I know nothing about it, nor where to find it officially).
http://www.o2blackberry.net/xda2_soft.html
Edit2: FURTHER note, the extra software mentioned on the software page on the above link includes a program built to run on WM2003SE as it states, which to me suggests that they made an official rom for 2003SE or at least they were aware other people made one and were more than happy for it to exist.
Cheers

Not sure to be honest, perhaps someone else can help.
The rom I use is Sin.Merged.v2.0 and the TofClock rom on my other hima.
O2 Germany today released a "new" ROM version for their diamond:
Version 1.37.207.3
I guess there's nothing new or fancy in there since even newer stock ROMs have been seen before - but I'll give it a shot and keep you updated about the versions of the specific components once I updated my Diamond...

Great - DO NOT INSTALL THIS ROM! Custom weather cities don't work properly anymore... They ship an even older version of Manila...
I guess it's time to get into installing cooked ROMs now... But at least there's now an official image that I can use for warranty reasons.
No new Radio or SPL as well.
While I must revoke my statement about the custom cities (they do work, my mistake) this ROM still is not worth the upgrade...
I just called O2 and they told me there are almost no changes done in this rom and recommended me not to upgrade.
I want to install the latest official HTC ROM on my trinity, but the download is no longer available for me on the HTC e-club site.
I'm keen to keep to an official ROM and, even though I know that 6.x is cool - I want to stick to what's official and legal.
Does anyone know where I can download the latest official rom?
no-one got any idea?
Here's my HTC WM5 version, as far as i can recall it is the genuine HTC one with GPS enabled.
ADrive
Just to confirm that HTC released a very leagal and offical Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM & it is still available for download from the HTC web site.
Look for "D810 / HTC P3600i WM6 GPS Enabled ROM code" for your area/network, relelased october 2007 (version 3.00.707.XX where xx = localised release per phone network).
I've just logged into the Australia HTC web site & can see these roms & the links do work.
Unfortunately without the serial number of an AU issued Trinity i can't get to the downloads. My UK issued one "doesn't exist". And to make it even more annoying the new ROMs are not on the european site.
Has anyone been able to download the 3.57.502.2 WWE firmware update from HTC? I have attempted to download over the past 24 hours however the file linked to the download page is the 1.62 ROM. I ask this for a specific reason. I need a ROM that has been through the Windows Logo Certification to compare some test results against.
i don't see no such thing on htc usa support website. only old 1.62.502 version

wrong version
If you follow the prompts, then look at the file name, you will see it is not the new version.

HTC Customer Support is aware of the link being for the old or existing ROM and they claim to be working on fixing the link. It may be that problems have surfaced with the new ROM and these are being fixed before we can download it. No estimate was given of how soon the problem will be resolved.
Looks like Monday at the earliest. Sounds about right. Can you imagine releasing a major update on the weekend when the support staff is at a minimum?
i dont know what you guys mean i am downloading the update right now. its working perfectly.
my bad wrong rom its the old rom i apologize
Double check...if it says 1.62, that is the old update. Check the size of the file, should be close to 90 meg.
Being discussed in another thread in ROM Development.
its a wrong ROM
its a wrong ROM, HTC is giving only the old ROM 1.62.502.0 in the above link. I am trying from 3 days, It says around 88 Mbs and delivers 70.9 Mbs

This ROM has been available since February 2008.
Hi guys. Just upgraded from an original Touch to a Diamond. Before I start setting it up, I went to HTC's site to get the latest updates.
I love cusotmizing my device with themes, pic etc, but I am not into flashing cooked roms (yet).
HTC has 2 rom upgrades on their site. One from like July last year and one from Jan of this year.
When I enter my S/N it says my device does not support this rom???
I have a Diamond P3700
The current rom is Rom Base 1.93.422.4 Dated July 18th 2008
Radio 1.09.25.23
Am, I missing something? Was the January 09 update not for some Diamonds?
I know when you flash its like a hard reset, so I want to have the latest official rom on my device before I start putting in all my info.
Anyone have this issue???
thanks!
Mike,
if you got your device from a mobile operator or have a "branded" phone (T-Mobile, Vodafone, Verizon, Orange, whatever), you'll probably have no access to updates from the HTC website. Operators make some changes to the ROM (themes, settings, applications) so they reserve the right to select which updates they make available to their customers. (Booooo.)
In that case, the only thing you can do is ask your operator (visit their website) if there are any updates available.
You'll have unrestricted access to HTC's updates only if you have a "free" device.
N.
FYI : Bell is currently working on a ROM version with HTC guys. It should be out somewhere during this year. (I hope so, because the ROM Bell gives is really retarded)
I have a unbranded unlocked phone and have the same problem. Support replied that the 2.03 ROM is not yet available for Eastern Europe phones (my case by the looks of it). No info on release date for us though.
There is a new Touch Diamond ROM posting in HTC website here:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=483&news_id=68
You may input your serial number to see whether this new ROM suitable for your device or not.
Same here
I've tried to download the new ROM but get a out of service message. Someone must have this ROM and can give access to it?
Thanks
upgrading ROM
my experience with upgarding via HTC website.
i have a HTC Artemis + HTC Touch Diamond, both came with English WM OS.
Bought both in mainland China though they both imported, Artemis via Taiwan, and Touch Diamond via HK.
when i tried to obtain latest ROM via HTC HK website last week of Feb 2009, basically i could only download the RUU 2.03 CHT_CHS ROM. i was not allowed to download the English language version of the ROM. Here's HTC explanation.
The two phones were shipped via the original HTC agents in both countries with HTC CHT (Traditional Chinese) ROM's. Even though i bought both phones in mainland China with English ROM's. (Obviously the store or a supplier on the mainland had flashed the English HK ROM's).
Basically HTC's view is that flashing the ROM's with any other ROM outside what it shipped with OEM voids the warranty (if one is not careful, one can also brick the phone too!) LOL
Interestingly this means that my new phones were void of warranty initially anyway the day i bought them, since i bought them from the dealer with English version ROM (official HK English ROM), though both phones were meant to be CHT ROM's. If i sent either phone back to their respective HTC service depts. artemis to Taiwan or Touch Diamond to HK, i would have been out of luck claiming warranty!
(anyway i got my hands on the official HK/Taiwan English ROM's and flashed my phones myself... HTC have been a fat lot of use over any technical support issues i have contacted them about in the past).
Note that not all ROM's are the same, service providers and manufacturers can decide what is and what isn't included in their respective ROM, which consequently locks the phone to that ROM and any future updates. Even though one may think they are buying an unlocked phone, with no restrictions etc. how certain can you be of how it was shipped ex-factory, or the route that the phone took before arriving in store?
OP, it sounds to me as though you have a phone that had been altered somehow before you bought it, and is not supported for the upgrade ROM you want. The same situation that applies in my case.
One way to check is try downloading all the different ROM's there are on all the different HTC region/country websites using your serial number... sooner or later you will find the right ROM even you may not want it, but at least you will know the status of how your phone was setup ex factory... because if the ROM was changed somewhere between ex-factory and the store without HTC's okay then your phone is void of warranty (unless you flash it back to OEM).
sinned69 is right, you can't just go to any HTC site and download a ROM, your serial number matches a certain region and you must go to that HTC region site, from there you will be able to download the ROM. Where (which country) did you buy the phone, or do you know where it came from? If you know this information, then just go to that HTC region site.

By the end of January, I called HTC hotline. They said they'll upload East EU version next week. It's March and I can't download anything. How do you think, isn't it time to remind HTC has to release a East EU rom?
No luck-
I tried downloading the newest HTC update from Feb 09-- still says your device is not supported.
I downloaded the file using a provided serial in another thread for the WWE version.
Can I use this file to flash my rom????
My diamond is an UNBRANDED and UNLOCKED version.
It's a 1.93.422.4 WWE currently...
Any idea if this will work ok for me?????

Although I am a member of the HTC europe club, I do not have access to the 2.03 Jan release ROM at this stage.
The reason for this is that the SA agents have still not had the ROM approved by our Network Operators, so the HTC Club site continues to post the old Rom.
Once the approval is given, HTC will post the new ROM for us to upgrade.
HTC uses the serial numbers to control who gets what ROM upgrades.
Our phones are HTC branded and not network locked. It is illegal for networks to lock phones in SA.
