I upgraded my device to 1.42 eng. but after finished, extended rom files are not installing, device is stopping . Then when i try to install them manuel not working can somene help me
I tested the 1.42 NL version and it worked pretty much ok. Try maybe to upgrade again. I have the Pda2k and I am back to the I-mate 1.40 firmware. I think something went wrong when you updated. Just do it again - it should work.
Posting from the PDA2K.
downgrade
why did you go back to 1.40 from 1.42?
obiesoft:
I didn't like the T-mobile ExtRom and I didn't know how to write to it at the moment.
Also, I thought that the phone app is a bit slow (and I hated the flat skin).
Meanwhile, I got the xdatools and I edited the extrom.
The I-Mate extrom has the autosetup, no config.txt needed. It works pretty well with the 1.13 radio.
Though, I have some problems with the BT and a Motorola HS805 headset. It's crackling all the time. But I think that there's no solution for this problem.
RELOAD, have you flashed again? Did you solve the problem?
1.42
I apologize for not replying earlier. I switched from WM5 to the 1.42 Rom and i like it so far. It is so much faster and responsive compared to WM5, keyboard works well and bluetooth is ok. I also get the Crackling noise, i use HBH 300. I have been seeing threads about an I mate Bluetooth fix but all the links to it are broken, so i guess that is what we need now. Until i test it, i will not know. I understand what you mean by the flat look, WM5 looks better but it is not as good as WM2003 for regular use, as for looks, just switch up themse.

I'm sorry for the delayed answer, but I'm not always on the forums...
I only heard about an I-mate patch, but if you mean this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14277, it's old (2004) and I've seen only a few people asking for the files.
I am now running the i-mate last rom with 1.13 radio and BT 3900. The extended rom contains a cab called BTsearchTime.sa.cab.
I'm not sure about it does, but I'm sure that it's already posted on the forums or on the ftp .
About WM5, I read many threads where people complaint about the speed. I decided not to try it, instead I set my HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Cachesize to 4096, and I installed all the programs in the storage card (1 GB).
The performance was really boosted, at the expense of 4 MB of memory, but I have plenty of it, because I don't have to share too much with the storage.
I also use SPBPocketPlus 3, but just for the Closing App, Safe Mode, and rotation shortcuts. Otherwise, SPB Plus makes the PDA unusable - it consumes many resources. Pocket Hack master provides me the overclok/underclok possibilities, so, if I use the BA only as a phone, I keep it at 199 MHz.

Hi all,
I just got my wing, I use the USPL method flashed serveral roms and in the process of finding the best rom that fit me. I wanted to try the Touch-IT, but this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358332
said that we need to have hard SPL before updating. I tried to read as many as I can, but I still don't understand when we HAVE to use hard SPL and when we just can USPL? what is the requirements or factors that determine them? Thanks in advance. In my understanding so far, USPL will not brick the phone while Hard SPL may brick the phone. Am I right? this is the reason I try to stick with USPL.
with USPL, you can't recover your phone if you do not have an RUU for it if you mess up a flash (actually you can, but its a bit complicated)
HardSPL is a more permanent (still removable) cid-unlock. If your device is HardSPL'd and you mess up a flash and your device does not have an RUU, you can always flash it again.
or something like that. Truth be told, sometimes its just nice to have choice, even if our HardSPL is technically stolen from olipro

Thank you for your explaination. What i am looking for is when do I know that i can do USPL and when I MUST do Hard SPL. Because when I download a rom, some says I MUST have Hard SPL to make it to work while some does not say anything, just the zip file with the .nbh inside. By the way, when you say having a RUU for the device, do you mean the official one we can download from t-mobile.com? Again thank for your help. I am still try to learn as much as I can.
Best regards
Obviously, you have a wing, so yes there is an RUU. And it IS the one from tmobile.com. I get mine from the xda-devs ftp, but it's the same thing.
I see no reason why HardSPL would be absolutely required, and because you have the RUU, i see no harm in trying to flash using USPL. Try it, tell us what happens.
And before you may or may not ask, Olipro says that canonyang took his HardSPL after saying it did not work, renamed it, and posted it as his own work. Evidently, canonyang was caught because it was date stamped. Evidently.

Excellent explaination. It much much clear for me now. I tried almost all the famous rom such as the Open Touch, the TouchIT, ... but I like ASarg's the most. I am tempted to tried the Just2Clean, but it said it need to be flash using the SD card, which I don't have one right now. Agian, thank you
There may be a different question going on here?

There is a different but allied question going on here? aSerg's ROM says that you cant flash his ROM unless you have an ipl.spl of at least 4. Perhaps it may be worthwhile explaining how you judge which boot loader one has, what it's relevance is, if ANY Wings have a lower boot loader and if so, how you upgrade the boot loader?
By the way, his hitherto extraordinarily successful thread has just petered out: Is everyone waiting for the new ROM (references to "family problems" etc) or is it being moved to the WM6 area with a new thread?
ALL wings (as in Tmobile branded) have IPLs and SPLs of more than 4.
to check, soft reset while holding down the camera key. After that it gets self explanatory.
Yes, not all Heralds are Wings but I wonder if they do all have the same hardware?

Thank you for clarifying that for everyone's benefit as there was some confusion on this: As I implied in my post, I suspected that all Wings had this but notice that if he is still around, aSerg is in Russia and I dont know if T-Mob operates there. So we cant know if all Heralds have this and nowhere is it explained that all Heralds have the same hardware.
While we are on this subject, do you know if there is any problem using VoIP with the Wing? None of the Wing ROMs seem to include it, aSerg had it in his original ROM but took it out even though there were no reported problems with it and there is reference around to T-Mob wanting to limit it's use to their own system. Why is everyone cooperating with them by not including it in ROMs? I wonder if this is anything to do with hardware issues with differences between versions of the Herald? No one seems to have posted cab files for it for the Wing, though interestingly cye3212 says at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400642&highlight=VoIP&page=85 that hers constantly invokes and wont turn off!! (her problem must be something to do with the WHENEVER AVAILABLE setting?)
the herald and the wing (really just the HTC atlas, which is really a herald with the round keys in the front) have exactly the same hardware, keyboard excepted (region dependant)
now. VoIP. I've never used voip, but i would guess that it was taken out because it was a) against the TOS of a majority of carriers or b) not too good because we can only manage EDGE data.
and by the way, i forgot to mention. ROM development for the Herald seems to have stalled. Why? Itje has a polaris, ttran has a wife (itje does too, i think), ivan has school, papamopps has a job.
somebody needs to be our savior and pop-out a wm6.1 smartphone rom for the herald.

My internship will be ended next week. I am planning to start to cook my own rom (since I don't have a wife ...yet or a polaris ..., but I love my wing). I looked over Ivan's cooking class, but it doesn't seem to be completed yet. Do you guys know any good cooking tutorials or references? Thanks
Most development seems to be for the Wizard

The best place to start looking is by mozying over to the Wizard forums where there are cooking classes and sample kitchens etc etc etc. A lot of these devices are very similar and a lot of what applies to one will apply to the others. That is why I cant understand what is meant by putting out differing .cab files for different processors and letting users try to figure out what OMAP is an ARM etc.. But I digress!
BTW i cant see how installing VoIP can conceivably be a violation of any TOS or why anyone who has unlocked their device should care about this. For that matter, I have a few spare devices around and wanted to use them as SIPs without SIM cards in them. Not sure where TOSs come into that equation? But when cooks take them out of their ROMs, no one seems to complain and I have often asked questions about use of VoIP with various HTC phones and no one (not even Schap) ever seems to know the answer. Besides, the main cab file for them seems to be a Microsoft file!
I own the Vodafone version of the HTC Diamond:
Rom 1.37.161.2 WWE
Radio 1.00.25.03
The devise was working very well until I installed Diamond Tweaks and changed the Theme to HTC Black. The devise become very slow and completely unusable and it totally messed my custom city weather, which I can no longer manually select a new city due to "File write protection couldn't removed" error, even after reinstallation.
I have reset the theme to default and removed bloody Diamond tweaks but the devise still feels below par and Weather database still won't load.
I was was considering a hard reset but have a few questions:
Will the reset remove all my apps? (Advanced config, Gsen, Vodafone Satnav etc.)
Will it remove the Vodafone connection ssetting? (Is there a way I can back these up first?)
On another subject, I have been reading about the updated Official Rom's/Radio's and Hard SPL and to be fair don't understand any of it lol.
I would like to put the newest (best working) Rom/Radio on, especially if this meant it would debrand the phone but I would want to retain the Vodafone connection settings and I rather do like the Vodafone Satnav software and I fear this would disappear, is there some where i can download it separately? And is there a tutorial with exact instructions on how to update the Rom and Radio and back up setting?
Sorry for all the questions and I know some one will say search forum but I have read over 73 pages of forum data and didn't find what I want. Thanks in advance.
Welcome
But come on, not finding most of the things in 73 pages? If it removes your programms is stated in the MANUAL. You know that thing that everybody finds scary for some reason. And in the 73 pages you didn't find a link to modmydiamond or something like that? The vodafone setting i dont know. I have a unbranded one
As expected, some helpful advice, have seen Modmydiamond link no help for me and as for reading the manual, there isn't one, have Getting started guie, which does say see chapter 13 of user manual for Hard rest procedures and what it will actually do. But no hard copy or files on installation disc.
how much did you paid for it(if it's not a secret),because i plan to buy htc touch diamond.
is it slow?
how long baterry can handle?
Confusion !
First of all, Hello !

To avoid any misunderstanding (you must be precise) : I think you are talking about Diamond TF3D Config wich is not the same as Diamond Tweak, another app.
Also, you should post it in the appropriate thread...
Thanks to correct that.
Got it free on Vodafone Upgrade, they did want to charge me £140 for it but have a friend who works at Voda and they told me to cancel my contract and wait till they phone me back and surely enough some guy phoned and offered it free to me.
@MonteCristoffOn apologies for putting in wrong place and yes your correct it is the Diamond TF3D Config that messed everything, oh and hello
you are really lucky htc for free!!!
and what about batterry and perfomanse??
Battery is not too good, doesn't last at all, goes to about half battery at the end of the day, would probably last longer if i stopped playing with it . Performance is quite good, once you put Advanced Config on it, which works really well.
Here's a hint:
Just make sure you delete EVERY manila theme file on your \windows directory.
Leaving any of them behind can make your device go bonkers. Happened to me too...
Perhaps your restore on the TF3D config didnt work well...
the problem is i dont understand what is manila theme
Manila is TouchFlo 3D. Please stay on topic.
Have completed re-set the phone now and it's working sweet again I hear that Vodafone are working on updated ROM themselves, which may be out later this year, so will apply there's when it's complete.
After actually having the Original Black Manila for a bit, I decided don't like it and the Voda version is clearer. So will stick that for the time being .
OT anyone know what the time interval is for the Weather updating when automatic update is set and if the value can be changed via reg hack or app?
vodafone knows how to make the HTC Diamond very slow
I went from 1.37 "Vodafone rom" to 1.93 NL without all the Vodafone stuff and now its really fast! I only had to reinstall Tomtom 7 as it was preinstalled on the Vodafone rom.
No problems left except for the battery. I just ordered a spare original battery (35€), problems solved.
(btw i bought it for 95€, 2year Vodafone, 18€ a month.)
Ive tried many different roms and many different radios and still havent found one that works great. most of the problems i have is with the keyboard for some reason on certain radios my keyboard will lag and different keys will not work all the time. and the weird thing is that if i change the radio it changes what keys work and dont work. i recently tried the newest rom and radio released on the htc website and that didnt help. another question can i download the rom for the htc tytn 2 from the website and flash it on a att tilt? thanks again for the help

Sometimes you need to change language when flashing certain roms diffrent from stock, if not match youre HK will be remaped to whatever the flashed ROM tells it todo . Example:
I am Norwegian so I have to change Curlang to 414 (414 Hex, 1044 Dec). I do this by searching up Curlang in my register (should be in: HKLM/Hardware/Devicemap/Keybd), then I Soft Reset. DONE! My Keyboard is now supporting ÆØÅ and all the oter keys and so on, just as I am used to on Norwegian Shipped/Stok Roms.
There are floating alot of curlang cabs for the diffrent phones in here, dig in or perhaps someone will post it for you.
its not just the mapping its just the keyboard wont type a letter unless i press it like 3 or 4 times. and im pretty sure its the radio and not the keyboard because if i change the radio different keys are effected. i no it sounds weird but im sure its not the keyboard or the mappings

I would deffently reflash to stock ROM asap! If its not rom/radio related I would suspect you got some fluid under HK? By the way you say diffrent (like in random?) keys ad affected makes me suspect its HW related if its really not as simple as radio. The remap should be the same on same country ROM`s for you, and the mapping is done in the register. If its radio related, you whole device should act strange and dodgy IMO.

Kinda relevant information, you shoulda sticked in there first place my friend Tmobile I have no experience on radio to share. Think you need to dig into radio treads as its probobly then as youreself concluded radio related. Just try combine diffrent roms -> radio until you find a good match then take notes of the given radio. I would also search more for other Tmobile comments on radio issues from the memebers.
Dont know how updated this is but belive you can take it for a spin: [4 December] The Ultimate Radio Thread
i have searched and it seems like noone has shared their tmobile radio experiences. ive been fooling with this phone all night and i may have a conclusion. i used jockeyw's unlock method and i believe my hardspl isnt upgraded to the 3.29 or 3.56 like the new roms require. i have tried to upgrade and still wont change my bootloader info. on my tricolored screen the 2nd line says "SPL-1.0.OliPof" which i am assuming is SPL1.0 not SPL 3.29. this is very frustrating because i cant change it no matter what hardspl i do. i even tried this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061 and it still didnt help. i think this is all the info i can come up with i hope someone can help
Some SPL Wiki reading called for

So if you're using a Windows Mobile 6.0 compatible SPL (version 1.xx) with a WM 6.1 ROM that can give a host of problems, including freezing. I used this SPL Questions part of the wiki to change from the OliPof 1.0 SPL to a HTC 1.93 SPL the other day and using JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe it worked fine so there's something you're not doing right. If you describe what happened after you tapped Kermit, (including any RUU error messages) it may help us diagnose whats going on. I suggest you re-read that part of the wiki as well as this is getting a bit spoon-feeding-ish (which xda-dev is not about).
I have Hard SPL 3.56 and use KAIS_Radio_1.70.18.02 with PDA_Corner Ultimate X Beta II (ROM). My average download speed via tethering is now about 27 KB/s. It used to be only about 20 to 22 KB/s. Also make sure that you install the Tilt keyboard fix cab that is on the WIKI page if you are using a Kaiser ROM on an AT&T Tilt.
I've got a Sprint Touch Diamond with WM6.1 that's a year old. Can I download WM6.5 and have it work on my phone? Is there a possibility that it will damage my phone? I'm afraid that if I install WM6.5 and update the ROM (of whatever else needs to be done) that I'll mess my phone up...
Sorry to ask, but I've never updated the ROM or anything like that, so this is all new to me. I've added in a few small programs from here and gotten some good wallpaper photos.

yes and No my friend. you won't screw-up your phone as long as you follow the tutorials for unlocking & flashing. WM6.5 by itself can't do any harm to your phone.
but you can damage your phone if you flash a ROM( 6.1-6.5) from other device. specially with the diamond people may get confused because there are two different models (gsm/cdma). ie if yoy flash a gsm rom into a cdma phone for sure you'll brick it. both are diamonds but there are totally different hardware.
this forum is for diamond-cdma models also call Victor so you can unlock/flash a 6.5 rom into your phone without any problem if your phone is a diamond-cdma phone (without sim).
read this great tutorial:

Another thing, it might seem difficult at first, but it will become easy as time goes on. I have Windows Mobile 6.5 on my HTC Touch Diamond, and I'm on Sprint, so I just want to let you know yes, it's possible. =]
My phone is BELL HTC TOUCH DIAMOND (CDMA). My only question is: can I go back?
Yes, just unlock your phone.
You can go back to the Stock ROM if needed.
