Well, I was creating a custom ROM with the IPL and SPL files from the T-Mobile 2.26, The Faria / Shogun UWC ROM, the molski Splash screens and the Cingular 2.25 GSM to make a "complete" ROM to see if it would resolve my GSM issues. Computer completely locked up at 4%... After waiting 30 minutes with no progress I figured that it was bricked as the phone now only has the IPL and SPL info on the screen with no GSM or OS being reported. Forced device into bootloader and attempted to reflash but got communication errors with everything. Then for grins (I wasn't grinning!!!) I ran the 1.05 installer which didn't find the phone either ... but then it just went through anyway! The happy Button Beer Splash screen appeared and I had all the 1.x's! Successfully then upgraded back up to the 2.26 and all is well.
I think that someone was smiling down at me!!!
Just wanted to share as maybe this just might help someone.
*** For those that needed the ftp location to Button's 1.05 Basic Downgrade ROM ***
YOU BASTARD, Just Kidding I am happy for you.
Well, probably just tell everyone where you get the installer that solved the problem

Every time I've seen the IPL/SPL not change from the button 1.05 it's because someone didn't unlock the CID.
Is that fast enough?

Get in line! (and bring a lunch as it's a LONG line!)
LOL....yeah, I've got a pretty long line here myself. BTW, it is me or has the number of people trashing their phones started to get ridiculous? I mean, on one hand it sucks to be them for not knowing anything about what they're doing but on the other hand, it's just a matter of time before someone ruins their phone and looks into legal recourse because that seems to be all the rage these days.
Holy cr*p... he said hurry up...lol
sorry, i was just busting up, maybe it's a joke, but foreals, he said "hurry up"... who says that... especially when asking for help. Anyways, just wanted to show my appreciation for the rom, what you, faria, shogun, and all the beta testers are doing is amazing... Can't wait till the release...
ahhh man, i got to do it one more time...
"tell me wat to do guys ... and hurry up"...

I agree that there seem to be more and more people now that don't have the patience to wade through the numerous threads and posts here regarding the possible pitfalls regarding upgrading a ROM. Most often that "don't do this if you're not aware of the possible bricking, etc" message is on the very first page goes unread. Of course no one reads those.... I mean, who reads a EULA (End User License Agreement) ???
I'm actually having a great day when I don't respond to a post regarding a question I already answered on the same page... but we've all been there!
And I pity the fool that tries to sue me!
Ah, I'm just ranting as I live for the abuse....
I am glad I did...saved me a lot of potential problems... but anyway, molski's new rom really works great...
a big pat at the back of the great guys in this forum that gave us all the wonderful wizard roms... =)
Cool, I was just curious. I've worked for a couple of people who had way more money than brains and I could easily see them showing up, not wanting to be bothered with instructions, ruining their phone and immediately calling a lawyer to have the site shut down and all those behind it burned at the stake. But they could spell, so that had that going for them. Which is nice.
Personally, I liked a message somewhere on here from some clown who goes on a rant about how "windoze" sucks (and used all the rest of those trite old sayings that were kind of cute 15 years ago when someone still cared about OS/2), then talks about how he was too high to be bothered with paying attention to what he was doing, trashed his phone so someone help right f-ing now. That's class right there. Makes me wonder how some people find a door to get out of the house in the morning.

OS/2 ... and I see that you're also a "senior member"... my we're showing our age
Actually I kinda liked CP/M but I'm so freak'n old I forget how old I really am ...
(but at least my spelling hasn't suffered...yet!!!)
Ha! Well...yeah, on one hand I still have a copy of OS/2 around here somewhere. On the other hand it wasn't too many years ago when I finally quit my position as the vocalist of a hardcore punk band, so it's all relative.
I make a pretty good living at this development thing and yet when I went to Tmo and got an MDA, there was still a little sticker shock. When I brought it home and thought about updating the radio ROM because the original was terrible, I read about updating for several days before I actually tried it myself. Read about how to recover from a bad flash, read about all the potential problems and how to avoid them. Read and read and read some more and when I thought I had it all down pat, I read it all one more time, just to be sure. And even then, I was sweating bullets when I did the actual update. This wasn't my first PDA phone and I had flashing experience from previous phones, the latest being a blue angel. Now that Tmo has released their 2.26 rom which works very well (for me, anyway), I absolutely refuse to flash anything else anymore because why risk it? To look cool? I don't think so.
Given that, it just boggles my mind how someone could drop that kind of money on a phone, bring it home, slap it onto a usb port and with no experience and not bothering to really read anything, attempt to flash anything and expect (expect!) to be successful. There was that goof I mentioned above and, even better, was that guy who decided the rom image in the ftp folder named "TEST_ROM_DO_NOT_FLASH" (or something like that, I forget offhand) was a good choice who then got downright indignant when people made fun of him for being such an idiot. I just don't get it. I have a 15 year old who thinks more clearly than that....and he can flash his phone. And has. Many times. And that's why I lost patience after a while.
I have no patience (maybe that's why I'm not a real doctor)
I've been having major issues with my phone since I installed a TNT Series Rom.
My rom version is 11.0.0.1 WWE
Radio Version 2.25.11 (i just put this on to try to fix the issues)
I wouldnt mind going back to WM5 because WM6 seems to be soooooo slow, i'm aiming for stability because my phone's pretty near useless since it never rings when I get calls and It doesn't even notify me of voicemails.
I can't seem to find any current links for any firmwares to downgrade to either =/
Thanks in advance
You need Radio version 02.19.11. Anything else and you will get lost calls.

hm, damn, didn't know that, is there somewhere on the site that i can download that?
Have you noticed an option called "search" ?? On the top of this screen ??
yes... i have, thanks for that, i was wondering if anyone had a download link already in a thread they knew of, but thanks.....
Search on this forum is worthless. Try searching for "AT&T" with or without quotes in whole forum, get zero results.
I found this topic by Googling and I keep hitting deadends with jerks like you telling people to SEARCH instead of actually providing useful information. This topic is on the first page for what I'm looking for. I want the same thing - a stable, usable ROM for an HTC Wizard on Cingular (now AT&T). I've had nothing but headaches trying to upgrade this Wizard for a friend. It's been a nightmare with a flood of poorly designed and unsupported abandonware ROMS with bugs enough to make it darn near unusable, and biased tutorials that end me up with a T-Mobile Pocket PC instead of a Cingular PPC, with no information about how to make it appear to be a Cingular PPC again.
I've given up on WM6 on this Wizard and now I'm just looking for a working Windows Mobile 5 ROM again. Chances are, I'll have that figured out by tonight, but I'll still have this topic on watch so I can be notified when someone with half a functioning brain decides to reply. Damn this is frustrating.
(oh, and hi, first poast, olol)

unfortunately i have found THIS EXACT same results, except they were responses to other people's questions and i haven't flashed.. yet. i was preparing to, in about one cigarette's amount of time, until i found your post just now. very disappointing. i'm affraid of going to wm6 or 6.1 now.. for fear of the dropped calls some other guy in this post was complaining of, and the slowness you speak of. very unfortunate. i've spent 7 hours struggling with poor search capabilities to attempt to determine the best rom and any issues i might have. i was about to pull the trigger and you RUINED IT FOR ME. hahaha. so let me know how your event goes tryin to get back to wm5, in case i need to do the same

Here's a link to the original Cingular WM5 ROM. I asked a similar question a few days ago, and was graciously provided the link.
WRT fixing your problem, did you try downgrading to the Button ROM, and then reupgrading to WM5? Might make things easier for you.

I know this is quite an old post....but I thought I'd respond to his frustration, because I myself was in your same position around the time you posted this. I have a Cingular 8125 and when I bought it, it had the official T-Mobile ROM Windows Mobile 5. My first PDA. I came to xda by chance and read all the cool stuff. I became aware of what is called "Flashing." I must have read the tuturial a dozen times, and "flashed" it nearly 2 dozen times lol (or what I thought was flashing hahahaha) The only thing I noticed was a splash screen change. lmao. But after trial and error I finally flashed it! yea! hahaha. I then learned about the other stuff like ISPL or whatever hahaha and radio stuff. So to make my point... I never asked for any help! I just searched, and read, searched, and read, trial & error, trial & error. So instead of demanding answers, go ahead and read through the forums, I know you don't always get what you search for, but read some more! I can guarantee your question has been answered, and you might learn a few new things!
Good Luck!
Hi all great forum very most helpful I've ever seen.
Couple of question, I see there is no option to sim free the diamond without paying right?
i saw hard spl and upgrades and all that stuff? but im still not sure what it is.
what's the reason to upgrade/hard spl (and what is hardspl)?
and why for example flash the radio ? :O
Thanks in advance, i tried searching a lot my eyes got tired eventually and i couldn't find the exact answers.
Im really begging to get pissed off with all of this crap not working i have a CDMA HTC touch diamond from cellular south.I CANNOT FLASH ANYTHING, no hard spl, no custom roms, no stock roms NOTHING!!and there is no help to be found and dont give me the "use the search feature crap".it all stops at 0 percent.
Dude chill out...
I'm in the same boat as you, to my knowledge the cellsouth diamond is a DIAM400 model # which is the same as the VZW model # & currently there is no hardspl that works on our diamonds, but there is one in the works if you search hard enough you would see that. Carpet flaming isn't going to convince anyone to go out of their way to lend you a hand. I am being patient in the knowledge that someone has the talent to do this and I dont have the time to develop that talent so I am going to show those people respect and follow the rules of this board, which is the best resource you will ever find on HTC Dev. So chill man and if you want something done quicker donate some moolah or learn how to program for yourself and everyone else.
well....
It just really get on my nerves when i sit there looking for a answer and everyone is....blah i cant even say it im not trying to be mean just trying to give em a little nudge if you know what i mean....well at least i found somone who understands my situation.and thx for the info u provided....makes me feel better BTW what are u using...rom,phone, carrier, ect
I am in the exactsame boat the only thing is mine is a telus touch diamond
You all are probably trying to flash everything that has to do with GSM diamonds. head over to ppcgeeks.com. there you will find everything you need for your CDMA diamonds
Mad
I dunno, I think you have a reason to be mad. Take the guy above, Fresh. He just strolls in here and runs his mouth about ppc geeks having something. Off he'll go never to be seen again leaving every DIAM400 owner excited and confused. After we waste a day, maybe a week looking we finally realize that the person didn't even read the main post.
PPCGeeks has nothing, I am tired of people heading everyone on wild goose chases. There is a gross misunderstanding and assumption that this phone is just a CDMA Diamond, it is not, it is a DIAM400, yes it is a diamond that runs on CDMA networks, but when most people refer to a CDMA Diamond they are actually refering to the DIAM500(Sprint/Alltel Diamond), which is actually a totally different phone.
Quick question to foo392 does your diamond have a Micro SD Card slot or 4Gb of internal storage? Take out the battery and there is also the model number.
If you have an SD Card slot you have the DIAM400 and Cmonex is working hard on a hardSPL for it so that we can flash custom roms. With out that you cannot flash custom roms.
If you search look for Diamond 400 or DIAM400 or Verizon Diamond. These are your best bet to find anything remotely useful.

Hope this helps
make sure that you have .net framework 3.5 installed on your computer if you dont your install wont go past 0%
I'm jealous...
I'm kinda jealous you guys have an sd slot on your phones... As I'm running my energy 6.5 rom and have been playing with the cdma android build for my diam500 which is really coming along these days... You'll get your hard spl and then be flashing away soon enough. But seriously, I want expandable memory...
Hi you need to unlock it
Yea man, I bricked my diamond (500) the first time I tried flashing it. And I couldn't flash anything onto it at all. A few months later I tried flashing it again and it randomly worked, then I broke it
Anywho I just a new one from the insurance folks and I am having the same problem as you. It's unlocked and everything.
Go into the tri-color screen (Vol Down + Power +Reset) and make sure it says "security unlocked" on the top of the screen. If not you have to download the Diamond Unlocker which I have. But it follows the same flashing process so if that still doesn't do anything it has to be a connection issue. I can't flash crap right now and I'm anooooooyed as all hell!
LMK how it's going and I'll try my best to help you.
I totally forgot. when i seen cmonex that just hit me that u need to upgrade your spl. google search SPL .57 CMONEX and it should be in ppcgeeks forums. run that and then ur set. make sure you also have the framework. I used vista with the mobile device center also. Make sure it is unlocked too.
Look ive been around here for a long time and disregard the low post ive mastered the search button! My phone was stolen and now I have the stock T-mobile pro2 and its having serious problems. I cant get Hard-spl to work both ways and Oliopro seems too busy "really i can bet he is" to reply me with a solution. Ok heres the problem my wifi takes forever to connect and before it does it say the key is incorrect when its not! NOW even when it does connect it still does not work and i do not have a data plan! So im stuck with a manufactured brick with no solution. Anyone can help me with another kind of Hard-spl so i can flash rom and see it its just a software issue! I really cant wait another week sending this back to T-mo just for a small problem as this.
I've read a lot of posts regarding people having issues with Hard SPL and most of the time by making the small donation and getting whatever version that is "paid" seems to fix that problem.
Something to think about for sure if you've exhausted all other possibilities
Sounds true i just wanted to see if anyone had a fix to the wifi problem ive been having. Most guys on this forum are nice but seriously team iphone has won me over im just plaing around and doing reviews here and there so im not up to 1 paying for something i wont use for a while....and even if i do i always switch units. 2 letting something be called a donation and then say its a minimum! I hate to be rude but im old, thats pretty stupid! you charge! AND then ask what you throw on top! IM SORRY but things like that piss me off....my opinion....NCRG has gotten over $50 from me in the last year because i love his work.....charging is something we developers just dont do! and if you are the at least admit it! Thanks for the help^^^and advice but ill look around if nothing well then bad review on the way!
You say that you have been around for a long time, then you already know a few things.
- Post hardspl questions in the hardspl thread.
- Be detailled with your problems. How can you expect that we can help you with installing hardspl when all the info that we get is "it does not work"....
So please post your question in the hardspl thread and be detailled. Post the steps that you did and then we can help you
