Ok so after extensive search on this wonderful site ive found more then enough helpful hints/tricks and not to mention cab files and programs that are just incredible for my Wing...attached is a screen shot...ok so the only issue i have is of course speed, i have been endlessly searching for a stable rom without any bugs and a sharp look (like the touchit lg menu one) and on top of that i have read to 'how tos' on flashing a new rom and still have no clue how to do it....its obvious the original tmobile rom is the slowest and lags...is there anyone who can recommend a rom and help with the step by step preocess??? what is the first step and when i do flash to the new rom will i lose everything i currently have on the device now...? i know newbie questions, sorry...thanks for the help in advance
I reccommend you use one of ITJE's Touch IT roms. The latest touch it Rom is 4.4, but it isn't 100% compatible with the Wing, so I'd reccommend you try the Touch IT 2.3
touchIt roms don't always flash right for people. Use opentouch or pdaviet rom.
So I just got my new Diamond (Hong Kong traditional chinese version), version below:
ROM: 1.37.832.4 CHT
Date: 06/23/08
Radio: 1.00.25.03
Protocol: 52.26a.25.09H
I wanted to get the most out of the little phone. What tweaks and fixes I need to do to get to everyone elses "standard" ? Such as updating, changing the language to english, some kind of ways to backup my old ROM, speed fix on the menus and navigation, tweaks on longer battery life Also tell me if there is more needed.
Can anyone tell me where to get those stuff (Or if those things exists) ? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you very much !
update to WWE rom and flash the radio, use the roll up stickies as tutorials at the top of the pages, read, search and you will find.
no one here will want to find it for you. open your eyes and take a look around. its all here.
end of topic.

Hey, I am new to this and I don't have the slight understanding of how these things work. That is why I'm asking for help. I wouldn't want to install the wrong things and kill my diamond (It happened before with my PSP =/).
But thank you for answering. Is updating the rom and radio all I need ?

Ouch, harssshhh.
To the original postah... Search for "Diamond Tweaks", should be a sticky in this forum. Those should help a lot for the performance of your Diamond. You CAN flash a new ROM and radio (make sure to Hard SPL first, search on how to do that!) but it's not necessary and taking a risk... Not a very big one, but devices have been turned to paperweights from flashing messups many times. To keep it basic use those Diamond Tweaks, start your device off right with Schaps Advanced Configuration tool (www.touchxperience.com) and TF3D Config, maybe Diamond Tweak (a program called that, searchsearchsearch) as well. To get a registry editor you can also go to touchxperience.com, you'll need that for most of the tweaks. Now go, go, go!
Thanks for the answers.
I have decided to flash the Rom cause I wanted to get the best out of the phone.
I come across this guide on flashing: http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26
And this for list of Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910
The problem I have now is that I don't know which Rom is the best to flash into. And whats the difference between Offical and Cooker rom (Which is better)?
Again, thanks for answering. I appreciate it.
each person have different prefrenses and use their pda's for different things
which is why there are more then one rom called superrom which everybody use
so it is kinda hard to answer the question which one is best for you
trying various is most likely the best path

Yeah there is alot of them. =/
I'll try them out.
But can you tell me if the cooker ones are better than the offical ones ?
And is this the official English Rom: RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2 ?
Thx !

...better? They are newer; look: Just like in Windows XP Microsoft also generates new builds of windows mobile. Also HTC does this with his own applications. The cookers always takes the newest builtds and gave us the great roms!
ok?
Just look at it like this, cooked roms are customized by people on here that want better performance, the official roms are what HTC puts out to try and make it work for everyone. If you find a cooked rom that works for your needs, it's likely to be better because it doesn't include all of the stuff that doesn't interest you. Better yet, you could cook your own rom if you really want to, look for a tutorial on it. Not incredibly difficult, just takes some time to learn. (This is my perception of it, I've never cooked a rom myself but it doesn't seem so impossible)
Thank you guys, I chose the SwiftBL for the Rom since it have just what I need and much more.
But I have another question about the Radio Rom. I have the Radio version 1.00.25.03 and I wanted to ask do I need to update/change it ? If it's not necessary, can I skip this step and just update my Rom and not the Radio ?
Thx !

read!?! nobody told me i was suppose to read before trying to flash my phone for the first time?!! jk
yeah, just look around at the different tutorial on here, and it should help you to better understand it. I just got my diamond last week, and i can't believe how much i can change on this phone compared to my old S60 v3 phone...
I wouldn't change the radio unless you have issues with reception... But that's me, I'm very conservative compared to most on here when it comes to flashing/changing major aspects of the phone.
I have completed the flashing the Rom and Radio on my Diamond and thank god it didn't brick.
Everything is done now so thank you guys very much for everything.

Someone may shortly tell you off for not reading it before posting - but hey, life's too short.
Good luck.

Go and read the wiki on how to flash new roms, wm6.5 is still in development so dont expect a completely stable rom without having to install some fixes for certain things but if you dont mind a few bugs here and there i would give it a look i really like it.
My sentiments exactly brandall
thanks for quick response i well take your advice after all it is my first wm phone i am pretty good with nokia and samsung software i don't want to break my phone thanks again
If you're going to flash a cooked ROM, this page is a good one to have handy. Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

You can find all the information about flashing in the Dummies Guide. So you should take some time to read carefully this thread. If you have any problem and can´t find the answer for it, then post the problem directly in this thread!
There is always someone who can help you. There is also a lot of information about the Blackstone in the Wiki.
This should contain all the information you need!
You cannot update only your Touch Flo 3D (Manila). If you want so, you have to flash a complete new rom!
SoftReset is like turning off device and on again. All your files and information are still in the device after SoftReset.
HardReset is like formatting the device. All you data, files etc. will be deleted. This should be done after every Flash and when device doesn´t work well.
BTW: This thread will be closed soon, because threads like this are opened every day.
As above, solution found, thread closed
Okay so i joined xda and started looking at some cool application and being new to this whole thing i was amazed you could get windows 6.5 so i started to see some tuts and i came across ROM's. i did know about these therefore i read up a little and understood SPL's are what the system runs on and ROM is OS based, if i'm right? But i do not understand the need of a new SPL before getting 6.5 ROM? i would be grateful if anyone could explain this to i'm very confused and also i have not modded my htc hd in any way
My current Rom version is 1.14.405.3.wwe
Radio version 1.09.25.14
Now if anyone can explain what i need to do to get windows 6.5 and all this ROM and SPL stuff please. i'm scared if i mess around with them, i might end up bricking my beloved htc hd.
thanks a lot in advance
read and post your questions here: HD Dummies Flashing Guide. you'll get answers much faster. have fun and welcome to xda!
thanks so much, i'll post over there now
