I want to flash my MDA Compact IV with the latest HTC Touch Diamond ROM (1.93)
I have the unsigned hard SPL installed, and have extracted the RUU file from the official HTC ROM updater but when I try and flash the phone reboots and I just get a black screen. The progress indicator on the PC stays at 0%.
Although I've flashed most of my phones it was always done by the excellent instructions and this a little different.
Thanks
Well I managed to get past that problem but now the flash gives an error message of 'Invalid Model ID'
Is it possible to get the HTC ROM onto the MDA Compact IV?
Thanks in advanced.
Always seemed to me that carrier-branded devices were just the original devices with some external changes (HTC Victor) and of course the theme on the ROM.
Have you tried flashing with one of the custom roms (which I can highly recommend, as it really speeds up the device)? Maybe the carrier only allows ROM updates by them.. so have you checked if T-Mobile provides any ROM updates?
I did mine no problem . flashed unsigned hard spl then swiftys ROM . absolutely no prblem . Even when things looked not right i,e restart phone active synv naffing off i left it and it took about 5 mins for the rom.
Well after trying two or three custom roms ive settled with the Elite v3.0. Its immensely fast and doesnt cone with any added stuff that i dont want or need.
Im now one happy diamond owner.
Now if only messenger was better on t-mobile web n walk.
Thanks guys
Hi
See you took the plunge and went for a custom rom instead of that dreaded t mob stock. Welcome to the new diamond experience
i need multitouch for my phone and how to
instuctions to change boot screen logo
i have a htc dream (rogers canada)
also has anyone heard about a gold card
(sd card formatted to bring phones out of brick)
help would be great
and i already rooted my phone
a fun 5 minutes
Gold card doesn't work for the G1, its already been tried. =/ Also, multitouch is cooked into the custom ROMs, its hard to add by itself (I think, I'm not a developer).
Don't know about the boot screen logo tho, I'm sure there's already a thread about that somewhere...
Yup like h.nocturna said multitouch is built into the kernel by ROM coooks and there are no custom ROMs for rogers g1s yet. To change the boot image look in the dream themes&wallpapers section. Should be a link inside one of the stickies.
boot image isent in that section

Hopefully mods will sticky it here
I flashed it back onto my phone and now it just sits at the HTC screen? is that normal???
since you rarely see the bootscreen id say just go with the default sprint/ hero one.
there should be a few bootscreens in the modaco hero forums http://android.modaco.com/category/409/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/
Hey Everyone,
I just got a Rogers HTC Dream from Canada to use on AT&T's network here in the states. So far it seems to be working smoothly, I just had to unlock the phone and setup the APN for AT&T. My phone is the 32B version and I'm wondering which Radio I should be using.
Is there anything I should pay attention to when I decide to change the rom to something 2.x?
Yes! But it depends on which radio you've installed. If you install the 2.22.19.26I radio you can install any standard Dream ROM. However, if you keep the original 3.22.20.17 radio (or the updated 3.22.26.17 one), you will need a kernel special adapted for the 3.x radio.
Look inside any Dream ROM you download and you'll find a file called "boot.img" - this is the kernel. You can find a really good thread dedicated to the differences between the two radios and why they require separate kernels here.
It's a little more difficult to get ROMs to work with the 3.x radio, but in my experience it's worth it. I can subjectively say that my signal has been much better ever since I returned to the original radio. Be careful about switching between them, however, since I hear it's not too difficult to brick your phone that way.
I am having really poor reception so I am willing to try out the 3.x radio. Thanks for the advice.
Hey guys,
I've searched everywhere but there's no definitive guide to revert to stock from WP7. Pretty much, I tried out WP7 on my dad's HD2, but he didn't like it. So I need to revert it, but there's so much stuff to know that it all gets pretty intimidating.
Anyways,
HTC HD2 w/ Windows Phone 7 (Using aMAGLDR V1.12 - Build: Jan 12 2001, 21:09:22 - by Cotulla 2011 [this ONLY, no other mods present])
Trying to convert back to Windows Phone 6.5
Using Windows XP
Have d/led Windows Active Sync but it won't connect to the PC even when the USB is plugged in. (I'm guessing this is the reason why I can't revert to stock, it won't even connect to the PC)
I've also d/led the latest stock RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_2_Ship from the forums.
It looks like I have all the resources but my PC won't even recognize the phone being connected to the computer. Must I do anything else besides attempting to flash the stock ROM?
Thanks A LOOOOTTTTT in advance!
I have the Exact same question anybody help please?
It might be you don't have the drivers installed that are needed, your antivirus could be preventing a connection, I had a similar problem where it seemed that it didn't recognize my phone uninstalled sync when into my bootloader it didn't seem to recognize my phone tasked 29 and it went through without a problem
::BUMP::
PLEASE someone help me out, this is getting soo frustrating, I switched to my laptop running Vista and it still won't recognize it.
I d/led Windows Mobile Device Center and it STILL won't work.
Please anyone.
Enter the bootloader screen then plug phone in and wait for it to say USB at the bottom then flash the stock rom from t-mobile

Do what he says in post above mine.
Or flash using SD-Card method!
Also read the MAGDLR thread dummy, there you also see how to revert back

Will SW upgrade lock my unlocked HD2 to T-Mobile??
Hi
My HD2 from Tmobile is unlocked & am using it in India.
It has SOFTWARE: OS :5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87), Manila version:2.5.20121412.1
ROM Version :2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
I am planning to upgrade the ROM to 3.14.531.1.
I read at forum that Post upgrade, my HD2 will default to factory settings. Does it mean that my phone will again be locked to T-mobile?
Pl confirm asap as I don't want a locked phone
Thanks...
no it will never be re locked again, no matter what you do.
Ahh but which one????

Ok dude this makes a lot of sense, but which one should I download? Are those version numbers or radio IDs? I don't want to brick my HD2.
Thanks for any help you may give.
those are rom version numbers. go for either 2.10.0 (not .1) or 2.13, or either of the 3.14
dude u have 2 download zune center if u got the wp7 rom thats how u sync the phone
Yes there is a way go to htcpedia.com register with them make your ocunt..and download htc hd2 stuck rom..then put your phone and bootlouder mode..and put the stuck rom you just download..makesure your phone is conecte it at least 50 % of batery no sim car no sd car.
