[help] trying to Upgrade ROM 1.40.709.0 on Diamond2 - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I'm a newbie.
Just wanted to see if I can upgrademy ROM to WM6.5?
I have search a lot and dont' seem to be able to find a thread that I understand.
Been also looking at threads on how to fix my CallerID problem. The HTC support download doesn't support my ROM version.
If someone can help me it'll be great!!

Please READ HERE, that's where all the answers are, and keep in mind that only ROMS made for TOPAZ/Diamond2 can be flashed
Or the saffest way is to go HTCSUPPORT, insert your Serial Number and get the Official ROM to your device, read your Manual also

You might be posting this in the wrong section of your brain The guys n gals on the board are generally a happy and helpful bunch, but we always prefer for you to make an effort, even the most feable attempt at failure, before asking questions asked a septendecillion times before.
Have a look at the index page, and you can probably match your device to a picture of your phone. Read the rules on the board (posted in the General thread). And please read everything you can on the wiki, or even google for it.
Basically, the radio rom is the bit that does the radio bit of your phone - communicating with the phone (which is basically a "radio"). You shouldn't need to upgrade the radio part of the phone if you're having no problems.
Upgrading the OS part of the phone will give you new software etc. But the radio is normally fine unless you specifically know that there's a better version around.
But read first, ask questions later.

Well, apparently there is no way to tell if your phone is CID unlocked just by looking at it. you can check out the thread about unlocking your device that-s in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and do it. it doesn't hurt, and then you can be sure you have an unlocked device.
then you can flash any wizard ROM you like (provided you do have a Wizard, of course )
enjoy!
Yea just follow the guide. its pretty easy.
ok one last thing....my IPL and SPL are both currently 1.05....so do i need to downgrade first or can i just flash a new ROM straight away ?
anyone ???

Help Flashing Blackstone With 6.5

Hi Guys,
I have been having a problem when i have been flashing my blackstone with miri's Rom. Whenever i try and boot up the OS the colours are all distorted and weird, and the phone function does not work on the handset. I really want 6.5 on my phone and I was wondering if you could tell me how to fix these issues.
Many Thanks
sjbanks
I'd read the tutorials about flashing, since you're not the first person having these problems. Good luck.
Please read the Dummies Guide first, before posting. Every day someone opens a thread just to ask the same question. You need to update your SPL to get all colors. See HERE

Nobody can really advise on which rom to use as just as many roms as there are there will be as many opinions as to which one is best. You will have to try a few and make up your own mind. This thread will soon be closed as it is against the forum rules as these threads that ask for opinions become useless as everyone has their own opinion. Just scrolling down the list this is the first German rom I saw - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=569279. You can read the thread yourself and see if it appears to be a good stable one or not based on what users are saying.
All tools and steps to flash to the new rom can be found here.

Haha good one
Yeah.. sorry zomi. But if you searching for a good 6.5 ROM that fits your needs, you really need to do some searching for yourself.
Try some ROMS first, then you'll know wich one is the best for you.
(tip: try search mode in this forum)
good luck
Official Update
Is there no official Update from HTC with 6.5?

Not for the Blackstone and there wont be one.
Thank you!
You helped me a lot.
Bye
If you type 'german' into "search" you'll find this has been asked before.
As for which is best, this is an opinionated query which is generally frowned upon in XDA as it creates endless long threads with no solution as everyone will have a different opinion.
For the above reasons and also fact that ClydeB1 helped you out with one thread, I am closing this thread

It often is the latest stable software in the ROMs. And another thing.. It's better if you try some roms out. Its not so popular around here to ask about a god rom. It's a matter of taste and so on. Not so nice to other chefs if i, or any one else recommend a specific rom.
Check the thread about how to flash HSPL and just go nuts flashing and testing. Good luck!
Admin, please close.
Before anyone creates a new thread, the basic requirements for common decency would be to read the wiki, forum rules and use the 'search' function.
Now I understand that you are new, but your question(s) have been asked many times before.
FYI, a dummies guide thread exists for flashing. Also to ask an opinionated query is frowned upon in XDA as it creates endless long threads due to everyone having a different opinion. Best advice would be to read first few posts in each rom thread as this generally lists whats in each rom as well as providing a few screenshots of said rom. Then try a few roms to make your own conclusion on whats best for you

well, welcome to xda
you are unfortunately not the first to ask that question and I fear you won't be the last either...
check one of the older threads on the subject, don't neglect to read the last post for educational reasons
analyze your needs, check rom threads first posts for descriptions/content/aim, compare both, try some roms and thus find >your< best rom on your own, only way there is
cheers
