I purchased my HTC Touch Diamond yesterday, and I'm already experiencing problems with it. I did a few tests, and here were the results:
Diamond = HTC Touch Diamond (Rogers)
Phone1 = Nokia E90 (Rogers)
Phone2 = Home phone (Rogers)
1: Diamond calls Phone1, and Phone1 receives call.
2: Phone1 calls Diamond, and call goes into "Unavailable" message. However; if you wait long enough on Phone1, Diamond will receive a missed call, with less than a second ring.
3. Diamond calls Phone1 again, Diamond doesn't hear ringer, but "Dialing" message is displayed.
4. Phone2 calls Diamond, and call goes into "Unavailable" message.
5. Diamond calls Phone2, Diamond doesn't hear ringer, but "Dialing" message is displayed.
The reception bar is full, and the phone has minutes. The calls made and received gets through when it feels like it. Sometimes they get through, sometimes they don't. Please help me out on this one.

try to upgrade your rom. the newer radio versions are way better that the shipped one.
Thank you for the reply.
I'm currently running on;
ROM Version: 1.37.720.2 wwe
ROM Date: 06/16/08
Radio Version: 1.00.25.03
Which update would be the best for my phone at the moment?
-Johnny
just out of curiosity which band are you on 3g or gsm - the newer roms start 1.93 have a look in the diamond roms forum for one which suits your needs, preferably one with a new radio, if you are experiencing signal problems.

Hi Ekksman,
I believe I'm running on Edge. It's the little "E" symbol that's already there. I have no idea how to switch to the others bands.

One quick question Karim099,
Out of the ROM series on that list, how do I know which HTC version my phone is? I have the P3490.
-Johnny
all official 1.93 roms are almost similar but each one has its own regional settings according to the CID (country ID)
you can flash only the WWE version because it matches your phone's CID ( unless you CID unlock your device using HardSpl)
i know there are multiple WWE roms. so i advise you to download the upgrade from the htc.com official website according to your device serial number.
regards,
Karim
The official website was my first stop when trying to upgrade my phone. Unfortunately, there are no ROM updates available for my serial number on the site.
Will the WWE versions be the only version that will work successfully? I haven't unlocked anything for my device.
-Johnny
P.S. Thank you for the replies!

Do I choose any WWE version? And which country is the RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2? Sorry for all the question, it's my second time ever flashing a phone. Need to be cautious.. I don't know which CID I'm running on.

its strange that you cant find an upgrade on the htc site.
is your phone locked to a specific carrier? doesnt it provide updates on its site?
ME is for middle east where i belong it wont work for your device.

The site takes me to a message saying "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device." I believe it's locked to only Rogers & Fido. There are no updates on the site at all..

u can wait for official updates...
i doubt that any of the official updates will match your CID
you could CID unlock and install one of them.
by the way the rom developement forum is full of coocked roms which improve performance and battery life. take a look at it.

I don't believe the WM6 ROM that I got contains a Radio ROM, so I'm still using my old Radio ROM 2.47.11, which I think it's the latest.
shogunmark posted this awhile back on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279380
i have 2.47.11 on WM6, and i have some problems, my device keeps rebooting when talking over 5 minutes... was ok in the WM5 3.2 version, but now im getting problems again....
I use T-Mobile 2.19.11 radio, works perfect (never change a winning team!).
oh, thats nice if its working... gonna grab that one then.... hope its on the ftp, and the RADIO ONLY update thanx for info !!!
love your .cab hacks , they work for WM6 also
just needed to get few more cabs and the OS is fast, and stable... nice work everyone

Would that be on the US network?
GSM when it boots is the radio rom right?
I seem to be experiencing some problems most notably the reception has gotten worse (in terms of # of bars) since upgrading from your molski ROM to the WM6 rom, as well as the prompts for roaming.
Does this rom work for Cingular in the US? I just loaded it as 2.25 was giving me weird issues on wm6, but since this is a euro spec radio not sure how it handles 850
hjkl;' why no delete?
Everyone is saying to use the tmobile 2.19.11 radio rom but all i can find is the UK version. Does this work in the US? If not, where can i find a US version? Search doesnt help much, and google gives me junk. I dont trust many other sites then here or tmobiles site, so any help would be appreciated.

all the same afaik (all of them are quadband, so no problem) - just go ahead with the UK one!
Heh... when searched failed me, I kept trying with google, and oddly enough, it found an instance of "2.19" and "radio" that the internal search did NOT find. sure enough, that thread had a post where someone (with an american flag symbol in his info) said he used that rom, so i tried it out. I called myself, and the call went thru, so I would say its safe for now. Thank you for your reply though, I was expecting a "search for it" reply if any.
I'm having a WiFi problem as outlined in this thread, but nobody seems to be able to offer any help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324952
I'm thinking of upgrading from the official T-Mobile UK 2.21.2.6 WWE ROM I have installed to another network provider ROM to see if that fixes the problem.
But will updating from my current ROM to, say, an O2 UK official ROM work the same way as a simple ROM update, or will it brick the phone?
Does it need to be CID unlocked? I've ran what I think was the latest LokiWiz to unlock the SIM, but did this SID unlock the phone as well? How do I tell?
How do I know whether my phone's an AKU2 or AKU3?
And what's the best (i.e., most reliable) official ROM? Would upgrading to WM6 help anything?
Sorry if I'm going over ground covered a lot elsewhere, but the sheer amount of FAQs on CID/SIM/AKU etc., is incredibly overwhelming and confusing.
Thanks in advance for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

You will need LokiWiz 02b to CID unlock your device (if it is a G3)

There is probably an easier method however if you run the program "Registry Wizard" it normally tells you on start up

ROMS are all preference really.. at the moment im using T-mobile 2.26 US which i have found to be the best ROM (with applications / themes obviously) as T-mobile UK Rom is over a year old and is crap.
i have upgraded to WM6 3 times? and all 3 times i had problems, i am currently waiting for most of the bugs to be sorted..

maybe you should try posting in the ROM section....
call clarity is usually to do with the Radio rather than the ROM. Do some research.
thanks for your advice, its my first PDA WM phone - which radio do you reccomend, ithink i'm using the radion which comes with the HK 1.93 ROM
Thanks

05 is very good for UK users. 07 is also good, great recption but lower battery life. 05 has good reception in comparison to 07 and longer battery life....
Still no joy
Guys i have tried many HK 1.93 rom, duttys 1.8, E Euro 1.93, Vodafone UK 1.93.
and still the call qulity is by far the worst from a mobile phone i have ever come across.
Everything else works great.
one thing Yahoo! mail .co.uk keeps loging me out, and asks for password and user name, i enter the correct detils still wont work - however it does work at times. this is with all roms listed above. any one have a answer to why this happens.
and just one last thing, is there a limit on how many times this device can be flashed as i think i may have flashed it about 10 times in 3days of owing it.
tank in advance guys
EDIT:
I seem to have fixed the call / audio qulity - by using SRSWOW HD, no its much better than before, people can hear and understand me now.
help!!

Hi!
This week I bought a Tilt secondhand. I'm sure that some work has been done to it. First I noticed that the previous owner has using a non AT&T SIM, I'm an AT&T subscriber, so at least it's sim unlocked. Then I noticed that when I turn it on there's no AT&T animation, there's a HTC animation. I also noticed that when I turn it on or soft reset it, after the "Smart Computing" comes up, there're some numbers in the lower right corner.
R: 1.65.17.56
G: 25.83.40.02H
D: 3.28.00.00
I registered here before I decided to buy the Tilt and I read many of the treads, so I know that many kinds of ROMs and programming exists for this device. So, what I want to know is how do I know what was done, installed, changed to this Tilt?
Thanks
Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like whoever last owned the device flashed an HTC ROM onto it.
Dave
Easy. Go to Start>Settings>System>Device Information You should be able to read the ROM version installed.
Yeah I guessed they changed the original rom, the rom installed is 3.28.405.0 WWE, DATE 05/02/08, radio 1.65.17.56 & protocol 25.83.40.02H. Still that doesn't tell me much.
I need to know which of all the ROM I read mentioned on the forums is the one installed, I need to know if there's a better alternative & I need to read a whole lot more to understand all my options here.
you just need to flash and find out for yourself don't ask "what is the best rom" its a matter of opinion and you can get banned for asking that.
here are some links to get you started with flashing

Simply compare it with the SHIPPED ROM List in the WIKI! I am sure they flashed the ORIGINAL SHIPPED HTC Rom ... ! BTW: If it is the original AT&T Tilt, then they have (for sure) performed a SIM UNLOCK and in addition a CID UNLOCK. From my point of view, I do not concider an item as NEW if someone did this to a device!

This is the kind of information I was looking for. I suppose that the higher the rom number, the more updated the rom is?
In general: it is a newer ROM if the number is higher. However, that does not necessary mean that the ROM is better. Newer ROMs contain for sure BUG FIXES for older ROMs but mostly contain a whole bunch of new bugs as well.
If you stick with an older ROM, it has the advantage that often users came up with a BUG FIX for well known issues or at least they can provide some kind of workaround.
OK so I checked the ROM Wiki and found my rom number (3.28.405.0 WWE). Would it be correct to say that the upgrade would be 3.34.721.2 WWE? Is the country code what defines what I can use?
PS:
I must be real slow because I get timeout & have to relogin before I can finish an answer to any post.

WWE is World Wide English so if you speak English it would probably not be a good idea to flash a rom in a foreign language like Australian or something.
Yes it is the newest rom , released in Oct

Hi guys I am looking for any compatible rom that is English. I have Diamond unit with Spanish ROM on it. I need English compatible ROM. I tried one from mediafire link above but installer gave me error saying invalid vendor id. I guess I can't just install any it needs to be specific carrier or vendor.
Here is info from about:
version: 1.93.476.3 ESN
Data 09/02/08
version 1.00.25.08
version 52.33a.25.17H
I really don't know anything about this unit I do not see any carrier markings on the box or start up screen , it looks like unbranded unit made for Spain may be. If possible provide direct link to rom I can use or may be some advice where I can look.
Thank you !

Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately I tried several roms that I thought are English and all of them showed me "INVALID VENDOR" error. is there anyway you can specify ROM I can use with my unit, if you not sure what I have to begin with I'd be more than happy to provide any info needed to identify unit I have.
Hard spl and you can install whatever rom u want....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211

CID lock (aka vendor lock): put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them.
HardSPL: This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing. See the official thread for more info.
