Hi all,
Just bought myself a HTC Diamond on Orange yesterday, and have been browsing the forum to see what I can do in terms of customisation and other features of the phone.
The problem I'm having is that, after registering for HTC-UK's E-Club, I'm unable to find the Diamond on the Support page
[ http://www.htc.com/uk/Support.aspx ]
If I go to the HTC Europe Support page, the phone is there, but it says the ROM upgrade is not available for my phone after I enter my serial number.
The phone I have is not modified in anyway - by which I mean that Orange have seemingly kept the original HTC stuff on it...anyone have any idea as to how I can upgrade please?
Thanks.
Actually it worked in my friends HTC which we both bought from same place but when he entered his serial number in the eurpoe's htc site his S/N was recognised as dutch phone and he was able to download the copy of the ROM .
I think its just wait and watch game for UK rom to release
I dont know if u hae any idea about if i install this dutch rom and i have a problem am i unable to get my normal orange rom by doing hard reset ???
you can't upgarde a operator ROM whit the official HTC ROM.
For system updates you have to ask your operator, in that case Orange.

Hi all,
Hate to say this but I accidently also bricked my phone (I had PDAVIET working and then saw an update so forgot to put it back to WM5 first and then to WM6 again, now stuck in boot screen )
The reason I post this thread is I got a small question which will be one of my last resorts to fix it.
As I can only access the bootloader I hope this will work, so here is my question. If I pay 28 euro to IMEI-CHECK.UK to get an CID unlock, am I able to install any ROM (e.g. WWE English or WWE German etc..) and also will it unlock while I only can access the bootloader or does it require a functional OS ?
Many thanks...going to continue and slap myself in the face a couple of times..
HTC PLEASE RELEASE THE FREAKIN WM6 Dutch....argh

you dont have to go back to WM5 each time u want to update ur ROM. Mainly you should have installed hard SPL before any install.
you can search wiki for unbricking, i am sure i saw one.
Well I found a lot of stuff for the Hermes, which reminds that I should have bought a Hermes when I had the chance and i'm now stuck with this piece of sh*t.
I even tried other roms for other devices , my only chance would be CID unlock and install a WWE or wait for a million years for HTC to come out with WM6.
Thanks for the reply though.
Cheers

Sure, you don't have to, but I strongly recommend this. I bricked my Herald a couple of times while flashing from PDAViets WM6. My luck, I have a RUU to unbrick.
This one is for the newbees:
If you don't have a working WM5 RUU to unbrick your Herald, you should _NOT_ mess with this stuff.
Would it be by any chance a dutch one? The RUU Rom.

NO, definately NOT. I searched my ass off for the Dutch HTC ROM.. But there simply is none. The only chance for unbricking is contacts inside telecom Repair Centre or sending your device to HTC. Or of course the (way too long taking) WM6 update from HTC..
If the WM6 update from HTC arrives how will we be able to use it. My phone allways complains about the 'vender id' when I use a WWE ROM. Why would it accept a HTC ROM?
Is there still hope?
hello i have a question about the WM5 RUU. can ik make it whit my one p4350 dutch???
if it can, how can i do that??

Well obviously the WWE RUU isn't for your phone. If you have a dutch phone you need a Dutch RUU, if you have a German phone then you need a German RUU and so on.
When HTC releases the WM6 RUU they should release one for each language.
Sended HTC an email 4 days ago, men what a **** company that is...I still haven't got a response. Is it me or is this a really bad company in supplying support....never had these problems when I had other devices (Mio A701).
Anyone got any news from them ?
Yesterday they said that the update will be in August.
I hope...

Dear Customer,
You only can install the ROM with the original language of the device.
When you are registered at www.europe.htc.com in eClub, the site doesn't allow you to install a different ROM.
It doesn't matter if you are on the english site, your IMEI and SN number are recognised and will install a Dutch ROM if there is one available.
HTC doesn't have any ROM update for this device available yet.
If you require to re-flash your device than you need to send it in for repair.
Go to www.eurotwice.be
=> select language
=> Private user
=> Place your order
=> Select brand (HTC will be added)
=> Select Model
Type in customer information and IMEI.
Search which drop point to use and print out service paper.
Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html
Best regards,
Marc Vernaeve

Just download and install HardSPL then the ROM of your choice.

Firstly...I'm with 3 in Australia
Ok, bought a TYTN II off ebay some months ago now from a Hong Kong dealer (that'll learn me) and it seems to not work with the 3G network here in Australia. The phone is always EDGE roaming and whenever it switches to 3G I can't send or receive SMS messages.
I've done some reading around and found that maybe I need to flash the ROM of the phone to an Australian one so that the phone will work properly. I found a thread on Whirlpool and someone there posted a link to this ROM for another user:
www.mediafire.com/?0jt1cwyx61g
Is that the ROM I want? If so, how do I go about flashing my phone with this ROM to make it work?
Can anyone help me??
You're more than likely having issues with the radio that came with the phone. Go to the ROM development forum, read how to unlock, install HardSPL, etc.. and then choose either one of the ROMs that come with a new radio available: NATF, Hyperdragon, Dutty's, etc... or look at one of the threads that show how to install a new radio. I'm not going to make any ROM recommendations, because it's really a matter of personal taste and how the ROM feels to you. For me personally, I've settled on T.i.R vk8 WWE build 19971. And I have radio version 1.58.25.17.
Hey dude,
congrats on the kick-ass new phone.
To help you with your prob, you'll have to signup and login to HTC E-Club for Australia, then download and flash the latest 3 ROM. Its the only way to ensure you have the correct inbuilt three network settings, there was a cab floating around a while back but it didn't include planet3 connectivity - only mobile internet.
look for this one :
HTC TyTN II WM6.1 ROM code for Hutchison ‘3’ Network customers
ROM version: 3.29.861.0
ROM date: 05/15/08
Radio version: 1.65.16.25
Protocol version: 25.83.40.02H
Date: 2008-06-02 Category: ROM Upgrade
I found the ROM development page and the list of radios that relate to the specific ROM's match the ones I already have (note: I already flashed my phone using the one in the link I provided in my first post).
I went and registered for HTC E-Club and went to download the WM6.1 ROM u mentioned Sanchez and when I entered the Serial Number it says the ROM is unsuitable for my phone. Is this because it is NOT an Australian phone?
Would this ROM actually work on my phone and would I be able to get a copy of it from somewhere else?
yeah, its not the actual ROM so much as the stuff Three bundle within that you need.
I'm aka Dr.Nerdlinger on whirlpool, a guy I recommended this to didn't have any problems, seemed to make his US Tilt into an Aussie Three TyTnII.. Havent tried it myself as Im already three branded.

I have flashed this ROM anytime I've had problems with others and it has always worked.
One question though, did Juvs Network Wizard not find 3 for you or it failed in some other way?
Congrats on your purchase and hope get as much out of it as I have

Damn! Sorry...
The ROM I posted the link to doesn't ask me for a "serial" when I've flashed it..
I assume you have run the Connection Setup wizard (Settings > Connections > Connection Setup?
Have you tried to manually enter 3's settings?
Perhaps flash the latest Hyperdragon III http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121
It has a suitable radio for Australia and I flashed this recently on a TyTn II purchased in Malaysia and all worked fine (as did the ROM I referred to earlier)
Ok but to flash to that (being a cooked ROM) dont I have to do something before I can flash to that? Is it HardSPL I have to install or something like that?
Yes... Unlock and flash a hard spl...
It is quite easy
Excellent directions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
I am in no way an expert with these devices but I have had no problem that hasn't been quickly resolved.
perhaps unlocking the phone may resolve your problem with flashing the 3 shipped ROM.... (again, no expert here)
Ok seems this is not gonna work. I've done some reading and apparently the board it to blame for my phone not working properly. Since it was an eBay job (but from a company) I can still get warranty but I have to send overseas to HK.
What do people think, I can buy a new TytnII for $659 and when the old one comes back from warranty I can sell it. Would the new one (if I bought from Australian store) work on 3G?
Unless it's faulty hardware, it shouldn't need a return. Don't spend your cash just yet
Try this new official 3.34.721.2 WWE HTC rom, with 1.70 radio.
Download it, plug your activesync cable in, run the exe file you downloaded - after 20 mins or so, you should have the latest ROM, with built in Aus Three Network detection (assuming you have a legal 3 sim-card)
(ps. it may seem like its stalled while flashing, but just give it time)
Report back if successful
Downloaded and installed last night - doesnt seem to have made any difference
sigh...

After Flashing a ROM you should always hard reset the device as well. After all this is done, what versions of the following are showing as being installed: ROM, Radio, SPL (can find the last one in the tri colour boot screen - read the wiki if you need to know how to get to the boot screen)? If all of this is showing correctly and you're still having problems then it's probably something like the sim (just any old sim won't do and it needs to be compatible with the phone). You could try another if you have a spare. When you switched it on, after a minute or so did you get a message popping up asking if you wanted to automatically configure the phone for your networks settings?
Hi
Basically i just tried to download the latest ROM from HTC support and it wouldn't let me, kept saying "not suitable for your handset" after i put in my serial number. Basically e-mailed the support and they say that because my handset is orange branded, that I cannot download it from them. I have recently found another way to download the ROM, but in the email it said that orange may have made har or software changes to the phone. Will this mean that the ROM will not work? Have not yet tried for fear of bricking my phone!!!
Thanks
will most likely Brick it.
its the SPL that controls what ROMs you can flash.
That sucks.... my phone hasnt been updated yet, and is still pretty slow!
Cheers for the reply!
you can always flash a Hard SPL (i believe 1.37 is the preferred one).
you can flash back to the original ROM and SPL for warrenty reasons... i'd suggest making a note of the existing SPL version (can be found in Bootloader - Soft reset and Vol Down button).
Just checked, my SPL is 1.37.0000, does that mean I can update?
Orange have their own version of the latest 1.93 rom
It has MINIMAL changes - mainly the auto set up of Orange data etc
It's really fast and stable
Give that a try
You can dowload an up to date ROM from the Orange (UK) website - I downloaded it a few weeks ago. It is version 1.93.405.1. It works much better and quicker and has no Orange specific branding. Why not go for that one as then your warranty will not be affected
Hi, could you link that ROM, please?
Can't find it on the website.
Many thanks.
Here it is, enjoy it before Orange push out 1.97:

Orange are still on 1.93...
Would anyone know if the latest version is still 1.93.405.1? Or if there is another recommended version? I tried "cookie" and the few he has released which were nice but had some minor issues.
right now my htc diamond orange is unlocked means i can use any sim in the phone,so if i upgrade diamond orange rom to 1.93.405.1 version as u described here so it will lock the phone or i can use any sim?plss tellll
Hi,
I have a Tytn II that my friend gave me but it is in Norwegian and I was wondering if there is any way to change this back into English. I have looked online and on the HTC support site but there is a ROM upgrade but when I enter the S/N it says that it is a software that wont work with this phone.
It is an unlocked HTC Tytn II and I'm stumped where to go from here. If anyone can provide some information how I can change this I would be very grateful.
Many Thanks....
Follow all >>this<< to flash HardSPL to your device and unlock it fully, then you can flash any rom regardless of manufacturer/language etc, onto your Kaiser. Plenty of roms on these forums so have a search for one you want to use.
