Just a quick poll... wanting to know how to take the direction of future roms
wow, 130ish views and only 10 votes... there has to be more than 10 people that have tried the new roms...
Love to try it.
Would try it but I don't want to reinstall all my appz and contacts for the new rom. Very time consuming and my build is pretty stable, have no complains for it. Unless anyone can tell me a easiler way to upgrade and have all my setting and stuff back be great.
Heard spiritbackup has the upgrade function but I don't like to use spirit backup always run into problems and it's slow. Spb backup seem so much faster and user friendly, but it doesn't have upgrade function I believe so ..?
Molski 30 MB WWE ROM
I installed this ROM yesterday, until now it works very well. I was using the KTAMAS AKU 3.2 ROM for 3 weeks, no really problem, once I did nor receive a call, and I had mybe 3 softreset.
using 2.26 tmobile rom with 20mb free after paging pool reduced. no problem so far. even restored backup seeing is similar 2.26 rom jus reduced paging pool. and now updated radio rom to 2.45. same speed as before. not fast but not slow either.
Although it's my own Rom, I don't see any difference with my previous 2.26.10.2 Rom, only difference is that I have more free RAM space!
Regards,
Molski
p.s. And I don't know how it comes that some people have trouble installing it, that it hangs at 98%, 99% or 100%. It is exact the same Rom as my other ones, only 2 numbers are edited in a .nb file with a hex-editor, nothing more, nothing less.

i have issues with my own roms doing that sometimes also... even without editing anything, just normal roms hang at different spots... its weird, it could be the pc thats hanging or waiting for the device to catch up... something
Howdy, i have looked at all the guides, done loads of research into upgrading my Ignito.
I have tried to use the Olinex 1.40 and also the signed version....
But when i load it all up, go through the correct steps etc.. My phone screen looks like its just had some dodgy virus and looks like its about to die and then slowly turns off...
It then does a full reboot and its like i have a brand new phone again...
I am at a loss as to why it does this..
Anyone have any tips or tricks as to how to get around this problem ?
Any help at all will be very very welcome
Cheers
Sam
when you do the hard spl, you will only get a black screen and then it will reboot, just as you describe.
Hold the volume down key and then soft reset, if you see OLI anywhere, then it worked.
The problem is when i try the upgrade the screen seems to die aftera bout 10secs and then it says its fully done.
So there isnt enough time for the Hard SPL to be upgraded....
Anyone ?? Please....

Maybe you could give more detailed information, what exactly are you doing, what does the PC end of the process say etc.
Can you take any screenshots, what SPL do you have now - the guide suggests that 1.93 could be better for you than 1.4?
Kim
It says complete after about 10seconds and then the phone reboots fully.
The current one i believe is 1.93.....
I have tried both of the Olinex versions to no avail at all.....

I guess no one is helping because you're not giving us enough information, procedure, XP or Vista, have you tried Hard-SPL 1.93, screenshots or better description of the problem.
Screen goes funny and then reboots just isn't enough
Kim
Well i have tried both of the Olinex versions both the 1.4 and the 1.93.
I am using windows vista and the mobile device center, its fully connected as i do a sync etc before hand.
I then load the Romloader that does the usual tick this, tick that etc.
Once that has happened i click the upgrade button, it then confirms i am going from the current SPL do the one i have chosen.
I click ok and then it goes to the progress section where it says it could take upto 10min, the screen on the phone then looks like it has got a virus and starts to look like its dying.
Meanwhile after about 10 seconds it tells me that upgrade is done, this is while the phone reboots and starts like its a brand new phone again with no changes that i can see...
In all honesty i can't see what i am doing wrong
Scrath what i just put, as i was typing that i was trying the upgrade via my mates XP laptop and it now says in the bootloader 1.93 Olinex...
I am going to guess this is upgraded... lol

Great, glad it's sorted, I was gonna say I don't have much experience with Vista (an' I don't want to )
I'm sure that I've read that there can be issues with the Vista device center(sic), A quick search of XDA-Dev will help.
If you want to eliminate the PC <-> Ignito pitfalls maybe try Suillers method of upgrading direct from the device Internal Storage.

Wouldn't open up a thread for this question but any custom ROM (RECENT EDITIONS) I've tried (NRGZ's, Sergio's, Ark's, Athine's and some others) for several days now have the "dead aka black" screen issue. Tried to find an answer in the original ROM-threads but haven't got any substancial responses. It seems like only few people have these issues. This would make me think the problem is my hardware (German Generic TP2) but the older ROMs of same chefs then run normal and without the dead screen issues.
Please any ideas, solution suggestions or experience share?
Thanks! Ibster
Edit: confirmed solution method described in post# 10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5934002&postcount=10 . Thank you agent 47 big time for the tool you provided!

Is this the same as the "Sleep of Death" (SOD)? In which the phone won't wake from sleep/suspend state and has to be soft-reset?
If not, what's the symptom exactly?

It's because chiefs have updated their XIP. Ask them to cook a rom for you with the old XIP from stock HTC WM6.5 Sense 2.1 rom.
Ach, that's just my theory based on my experience. I might be wrong, so keep that in mind.
I have a similar issue, but not exactly the sleep of death
A lot of times when I unlock the phone, Sense would not show up, only the taskbar and occasionally the bottom bar
Everything is responsive, the taskbar notification works, hardware buttons works, but not the sense part in the middle
This usually happens when I'm having an SMS conversation
I run this setup most of the time:
WM 6.5.x
Sense 2.5
HD mini lockscreen with Smartlock 2.0F or Lockdevice 1.6
Same here on the SMS black screen

I just started having this problem with the newest Leo Cell Pro, I have not had it with any NRG or Deep Shinig ROMS though but I do like The cell pro details and the others are not without there faults. I like your screenshots and I can hardly wait for that new white theme to come out. I think it will make my phone so much better outdoors and enhance the Windroid look I am workin on.

Yes....interesting that I've never had this issue on Energy's...my guess is he doesn't cook in the latest HTC SMS client which can be unstable at times
Are you talking about Elcondor's GTX theme? Yes that is a very awesome theme
I couldn't wait until 201x version comes out so I made my own Not as good as GTX but I'm half satisfied now

like i mentioned in the the post#1 I had these problems with almost all recent (last two weeks) custom ROM releases, ROMs of different chefs. Because others or the majority of people don't have any problems with that I thought the reason must be hardware issues. yesterday I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191 opened by agent_47 where he provides a modified tool:
agent_47 said:
when u flash a rom, you are copying files onto the internal memory (like duh!) but if u repeatadly flash different roms, sometimes files from older version stays behind as when u flash a rom, you just copy and sometimes overwrite files without deleting the older ones. hence at times these older files may create bugs\instability. hardrest donot always fix it.so we use MTTY

Well I used it and have flashed to Sergio's Leo Cell Evo 6 and I can confirm that I haven't had any "sleep of death" issues, well still haven't and hope I won't have this "SOD" issue anymore. And when I tried this same ROM before I wasn't even able to make a proper configuration and set up the phone because the phone always froze or as soon the screen went off I wasn't able to activate it back without soft reset.
So maybe this is a solution and could help others who also are having this issue of "sleep of death".
Please if you try the tool from the mentioned agent_47's thread, let know us here because it will be very useful for the rest of the users to finally figure out "the dark side" of their phone and fix it.
Cheers, Ibster
Solution
I had this just recently. Funny side was that I installed an official new ROM from HTC which I just updated. Somehow the phone just didn't want to turn on and show the screen. So just like you guys said, hard-reset did the thing but just when the screen went off, same thing happened.
So what I did was wipe/clean or any other name. Practically did the installation of the rom again. Now, the device works normally and without any problems.
Maybe this happens because some old files of older ROMS sayed on the device itself and started making problems. Anyways, check this thread too, maybe it will explain something more: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191
Or, final explanation. Our Rhodiums have soul inside their little chips and they just simply fu.k with us They tell us they're too tired of so many ROM changes.
I have also had this problem with my two latest official swedish roms (manilla 2.1 and 2.5) cant remember if I had it when I used 6.1. Now I use a cooked rom and still have the issue several times a week. The only thing I had done with my Rhodium before using cooked Rom was flashing hard spl for future use. If its not an inbuilt hardware/software problem from the beginning the only thing I can point at in my case is hard spl?

back with my kaiser you always had to flash back to stock before going to a new ROM no matter what, for just this very reason...
could flashing back to stock be a 'best practice' that we as users should start doing to help with this issue?
I - have had some xperience with the issue in a few ROMS. Im a loyal flasher of Agent 47s masterpieces. And a month or so ago he had like 2 or 3 builds that had this issue. From what I remember he said that he thought it had to do with some sys evrybody was using to cook roms. and after her came out with this diagnosis and "fixed"(i dont know the technical part of what was fixed) this problem it has never happened since. But a good thing I would say to try is in Agents thread about 4 or so pages from the last page(maybe more or less) but close to the last page he posted a .zip file for this mitty fix. and you essentially flash this zip just like a rom then reflash which ever rom you had or a new one and ta da. Ive also heard of people reflashing a stock rom with results from doing so but from what Agent said is flashing a stock rom then back technicaly "shouldnt" do anything and to definately use mitty. But one of the other frequent valkyrie users that I chat with all the time Mcbrian who posted here on the first page has used the stock rom and did have whatever issue he had cured dont remember what that was tho.
UPDATE- Oh I guess that Agent has a thread for Tool29 so you dont have to search through his thread to find it.
I can confirm agent 47 method is working for me. I no longer have the sleep of death. But its only been half a day. I will report back in a few days.

Great! I'm glad to hear your confirmation. I now on my side haven't had a sleep of death for three days on the ROM (Cell Leo V6) that previously, before I used the agent_47's tool, couldn't even start normally at all or had extremely many "sleeps of death". But I also noticed overall improvements even though the speed slows down but there are barely any freezes and stability is much better.

I did tried agent 47 method at least three times this weekend. I did exactly what agent 47 instructed, flash Energy ROM 23547 with MaxManila = failed to initiated. Flash Tool29 again, reflash Energy ROM 23545 from MicroSD = Failed. Flash Athine OS XTreme = Worked, install MaxManila 3.0 on top of Athine OS Xtreme = Corrupted the manila display. Reflash stock ROM. Flash Deep Shining X.23544 = Worked. Flash Deep Shining X.23547 = Failed.
Look like I can get my phone to work but can't move on from now on! Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I'm not very clear about what you mean by failed. Do you mean you can't flash some of the ROMs or you get screens of death with them?
What I did was this: I took out the SD card. Ran the tool29 modified by agent_47 (see post 10 of this thread). After the tool finished cleaning all internal memory the phone went back on but got stuck in loading. I took the battery out of phone for few seconds and then put it back in. Then I connected the USB cable to the phone and started it in the bootloader mode by quickly pressing and releasing the switch button and then hitting the volume down. On the tricolor screen then it shows USB. Then I just flashed my ROM of choice normally with USB without need to flash from SD. I've done this several time with several ROMs without problems.

Thanks for quick response. Yes. I did exactly what you spelled out in the message. i.e: Remove the memory card, Run Tool29, remove the battery, got into the bootloader mode, then flashed with USB connection. The phone went to the initial setup, I clicked the T-Mobile connection ....etc... then it restart - then stopped at "Launching HTC Sense...." This is = failed for me. i.e: Failed to clean the internal memory!
By the way, if the internal memory is cleaned, shouldn't the Start->Setting->Device Information->Software Information: Incoming Call & Outgoing Call reset to 0?
Thanks

Your steps should be
1. Shutdown tp2..
2. Remove memory card( I also removed sim card).
3. Turn on tp2, connect through the computer through active sync.
4. Run task 29. Let it load flash, whatever it is doing until it actually reboots.
5. At this point, everything should be cleaned, you don't have a rom or radio anymore, so its blank, so you "pull battery out."
6. Put memory card/sim card back in. Flash radio through boot whatever menu. Soft reset it yourself. Pull battery out again.
7. Flash rom this time, and soft reset it again. Now rom should start setting up.
This shouldn't be rocket science.
Hi to all of my xda friends
I have found a usefull experience that wanna share it with you
It was a while that my battery drains after one day of normal usage so I have been test several ROMs with several hard reset with no success so I had looking for a good procedure to solve this issue then I faced with task29 so I thinked that it isnt bad to test it
After doing task29 with my own procedure that its easier and takes very little time
I faced with very strange result . my battery worked 5 days with same ROM that I used before with same usage so I think it is usefull very usefull to share this with you
So be it
1- Download task29 from below that have small size and ruu_signed.nbh is replaced with orginal blackstone splash screen so u don’t need to flash any radio and this nbh file doesn’t belong to any hd2 devices and its for blackstone so be sure about this .
2- Extract task29.zip to any folder that u want
3- Go to bootloader of ur device with holding volume down and power button at same time when ur device is turned off
4- Before doing this be sure that u did HSPL on ur device otherwise u will face with id error
5- Attach ur usb cable to ur devise and when u see the usb at bottom of ur device run task29.exe and follow procedures
6- Be pacient and after 10 second ur device will reboot and will remain on splash screen that show u did this procedure right
7- Take out battery and plug it again and go to bootloader again for flash any ROM that u want
8- Enjoy ur magic blackstone with magic battery usage
really?but task29 seem to flash the rom!!
Can someone confirm this?
Now I flashing my Blackstone.
Wi`l see
I`l tell you wat happening...
Sorry for my bad English.
i used task29 before my flash this week, made no discernible difference to the battery performance - lasts 2 days as always - calls, txts, bit of wifi, odd photo
regards
Mat
I`m flashed and haven`t problem.
I use Energy.BLACKSTONE.23554.Sense2.5_with_Cookie_HomeTab.Apr.01.
Today and tomorrow I will see the battery live
I DON'T UNDERSTAND 'Be pacient' IS WHATCAN YOU SAY MORE.THANK YOU
DONT DO THIS **** GUYS!
After flashing this task29 my device does want boot up. When i power on it just shows "smart mobility" text forever and i cant go to bootloader or even HR!
upd. sorry for a panic. i've plugged out battery for a minute or so and now i can go to bootloader. damn, i've almost **** in my pants.

this is the meaning of task 29
it deletes everything of youre device that is rom dependent
take the battery out and put it back in
now press volume down and keep it pressed
while keeping the volume down pressed press the powerbutton like you want to turn on the device(still keep volume down pressed)
after a few seconds bootloader will be opened and you can flash the rom you want
ps when you see bootloader you can stop pressing volume down
wow, is task29 that useful? Had any one else done Task29 and got the same result of saving battery life please confirm.
wel i didnt see a improvement of batterie life but definetly seen improvment of speed on my phone
dunno why he opend this thread though as there already is a thread about task 29 and its being nicely watched by jigners and a few others
I faced with very strange result . my battery worked 5 days with same ROM that I used before with same usage so I think it is usefull very usefull to share this with you

Sorry but what have you been smoking when you wrote this? 5 days?? Can you please tell me which rom your using, and did you actually touch the phone for 5 days ? Normal usage? Few calls, some internet and stuff?
an earlier thread has been started with video tutorial and methods used
also a thorough guide is presented and plenty of people has benefited
but one thing is it does not claim what is difficult or almost impossible to achieved
with the Blackstone (5 days of battery life?)
please be real

Agreed. As this post has duplicate a previous post which is more informative with video etc, this thread is now redundant.
Thread Closed.
Everybody knows: the battery in the diamond is little bit to small for the device. sometimes i lost the power faster then i can use the device. yesterday i have filled the battery up to 100% at 10pm. in the morning at 5 am i had only 73% battery. i dont have used the device other night. i think this is not normal. i use HomeScreen++ UI, there i can measure the battery consumption. when the device is in standby, i have seen vor very short time a value for 20ma, but when the device is powered on i see values from 150 - 212ma.
What with your device? can we say, that this is normal or is this a error? whats the normal power consumption in stand by and at running time (no applications in foreground)? Can anyone give some normal value's?
dude that's very weird... are you using a standard ROM? which radio version are you using? how is the cell reception in your area or near your home? do you use GSM or 3G? there are many factors that can accelerate battery consumption...
try another ROM & make sure you have the latest RADIO I have a DAIM100 & use the 1.17.25.09 & after two years of owning it I still use the same battery & get a whole day at least, I also don't really play on my phone during the day but I sync & use GPS when travelling & also have my email on it & make & receive a fair amount of calls & txts so it depends on your particular situation...
i Have now changed my ROM to a earlir version. It uses now a COM5 Build. Before that i use a Com3 Build. As the Radio ROM is use every time the same as you (but with rilphone from 1.09). The Battery consumption is returned to normal. it uses now near 3% in 10 hours, without using the device (over night).
i dont know whats the problem with the newer ROM. The first days with the COM3 Build, the battery consumption was normal. i fear that the problem is comming with some service or program i have installes later, but i dont know what for software. BatLog couldnt help me at this point.
i'm also having the same problem, i need to charge my phone twice a day and when its fully charged from midnight it gets to about 70% by 10am how do i make it last longer and how do i update the ROM or whatever it is that you guys are talking about?
I suggest you to buy a new battery.
I had a 1800mAh from China on eBay at 10€ and i solved the problem.
Before buying it, i just had two batteries, but i had to carry in my poket another battery :\
I think BP E270 is a resolution.
It increase battery juice a little bit (1350mah) and keep your diamond in a sexy shape.
I'm using Don Salari rom (WM 6.5, TF3d 2.1) and have a fully 2 days without charging. Not so good but pretty pleased anyway.

There can be different reasons for abnormal battery consumption. actual i lost around 3-5% in 10 hours, without using the device. if i use it often its more, if i use wifi, hdspa or bluetooth or do i make a game, hear music or such thing, it consumes more. thats in my opinion a normal state for the diamond device.
the most important thing is the radion rom. the radio rom responsibly for the radio things in the device: Phone, hdspa, bluetooth, wifi, gps (not the fm radio). the problem is: not every radio is good for every device. on some devices the version 1.09 is good, on some other the latest 1.17.x
than there is the ROM for the device. you can see it as the operating system. at the moment im using am COM5 build (Windows Mobile 6.5.5, Version 7.00). I have had problem with 7.30, this is a COM3 build. On the Main Site of the ROM you can find intructions to flash this ROM to your device, because its not a official one.

erm... my phone is not used at all for 10 hours whilst i am sleeping and i switch my wi-fi and bluetooth off also. sometimes i even put the phone into airplane mode to see if it makes a difference but not much.
about the radio and roms, im still a bit unsure as to how that works i have a htc touch diamond which is wm 6.1 not 6.5... would it be possible to upgrade it to a 6.5 by flashing the rom?
sorry for the million questions lol im just confused as to how it all works

then there is something wrong with your device. if take phone to airplane mode, it uses around 1% in 10h!!! When you have the original rom on your device. i think you have some software installed that consumes such a amount of battery or your batters is broken.

Sure, you can upgrade, but its not a official way and you loose your guarantee. you do this al on your risk. a good German guide you can find here: http://www.pocketpc.ch/td-rom-upgrade/42092-htc-touch-diamond-rom-upgrade-anleitung.html or of English here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211. Most important: You should make a complete backup of all your data. there are a lot of apps, that can do this. i recommend SPB Backup. After this: Install the latest official ROM from HTC, make a Hardreset and install directly after this the unofficial ROM of your choice. after flashing, make Hardreset again, before you continue. Remember to flash first the official ROM, than Hardreset, then unofficial ROM, then Hardreset for every ROM you test. you can find many ROM's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=430 or here http://www.htc-developers.de/viewforum.php?f=85

i got stuck and confused half way through reading what to do wish i could get someone to do this for me
For the first time, it seems to be very complicated, but it is not. Trust me.
first: Backup you whole device or only the needed data.
in the first step you need to install HardSPL. I use 1.93 from Olinex. Do a softreset after this. After the softreset i have installed the HTC Stock ROM. the easyest way is it, to put the image in the root of your internal storage. name the file DIAMIMG.nbh. Now boot in to USB Mode with holding Volume Down and Right Softkey Button pressed (the <- Key), with this pressed, to a reset with your stylus. it apears a 3 colored screen, followed by a gray screen with instructions in blue letters. follow the instructions. DO NOT destroy the internal storage, there are your backup and the image file!
With the Stock Rom installed, make a HardReset (same as Boot to USB mode, but now hold VolumeDown and the middle round button). After this put your custom ROM to the internal memory, otherwrite the Stock ROM. Boot to USB Mode and follow the instructions. When your done, make again a HardReset. The Hardresets are very important, after this last hardreset you have the device with a custom ROM.

thanks once again, let me start with just backing up my data to begin with... i am on the thread for hardspl 1.93 from olinex which i am currently reading through with a confused face lol
also when i press and hold the volume down button and softkey button (<-) it does not do anything (soft reset) instead i have had to download a softreset app in the past just to do a soft reset... (im using a touch diamond) ?
you must press both buttons, dont release them, do a reset (press the red dot with you stylus in the stylus slot). dont release the both buttons, hold dem pressed until the colored screen appears.

To flash rom via Internal card
1. Hold Volume down and Back buttons .
2. Press the reset button.
3. Keep holding Volume down and Back buttons then release reset button.
To reset to boot-loader mode ( for upgrade Hard-SPL or flash ROM via computer )
1. Hold Volume down button.
2. Press the reset button.
3. Keep holding Volume down then release reset button, you will see tri-color screen - that is called boot-loader mode.
For Battery consumption issue - maybe your battery is too old - you should change to another one.
I'm using Galilio battery with 1400mAh - which has same size with original battery and I can use my phone 2 days ( with sense 2.5 ) or 3 days ( with sense 2.1 ) without charging.
do you have a link to the battery?
