Got a New Diamond. Where to start ?

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 !

if you don't want to brick your diamond

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.

Can WM6.1 upgrade to WM6.5?

Hello,
i have 1 question, Can WM6.1 upgrade to WM6.5?
Thank you.

yes, sure ..
this is what we all have done ..

Yeah, you just have to flash 6.5 ROM. There are very good guides for that, they are stickys, read them!

lol
i dont think so that you update windows 6.1 to 6.5 with out flashing
officially this happen , may be or may b not

its that sure?
i use X1 with WM6.1, can upgrade to WM6.5!
Can u teach me how to upgrade the ROM or Flash it?

may I suggest you to search for a "pure upgrade" on this thread and give it a try
Regarding the how to", it's all written in the sticky threads tutorials
Start by reading the ROMs LIBRARY to learn the basics

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/wm65-upgrade.mspx
it's possible.

It is only possible if it is provided by your phone manufacturer or by your mobile operator
So for X1, it is not officialy possible yet

Windows Mobile 6.5

Where can i get this update. I know im late but need it

Hi there and welcome to XDA i take it you have a TP2, you need to use Hard-SPL and read the sticky threads
Goodluck

Sigh
Bro come on... I hate rewarding laziness, but I'd feel bad not imparting any wisdom on you.
K. So since you didn't say what version of the TP2 you have, I'll tell you the basics. If you just want the stock (out of the box) upgrade to 6.5, which you probably do, go to htc.com There go to the search bar, and type in "__ touch pro 2" and fill in the "__" with your carrier. Click on your phone, then go to the downloads tab, and the update will be there. Just follow those instructions. But the moral of this story is to READ THE STICKY THREADS, and search a little before you post. It's more fun to find your own way, plus you get more out of it.

He doesn't need HardSPL if he has a phone where there's an official 6.5 upgrade available. Although HardSPL and a cooked ROM would be even better.

Welcome and congrats on the X1,
before answering I would like to inform you that this has been asked I don't know how many times. I have difficulties with big numbers.
A little search and taking advantage of the stickied threads in this forum would have and will provide all required answers. Except for the advice on upgrade.
To use customized roms you have to h-spl your phone (olinex thread, including how to), then you can flash either using ruu or sd method (see biovolt and badwolve reference threads for tutorials and additional information). If you have to go back to stock for e.g. warranty reasons find your country/provider stock rom in badwolve reference thread (pavelx1) and the stock slp in olinex h-spl thread.
Updating is up to you. I personally like 6.5 but many complain about lack of speed, as X1 was never meant for this wm release. Give some roms a try and decide for yourself.
Best
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to q&a

Thanks
Dear Draken,
Really thanks a lot for your nice reply, but as you know that I am new over here and at the same time I've just bought it just before 3 days and as you know that there's a lot of questions, so it's hard for me to check all the comments
Dear .. May you help me on these things:
1- would you to provide me a link for downloading the stock ROM for warranty reasons, and a link to increase sound of ringing tones to be working both in 6.1 and 6.5.
2- Regarding to the flashing of using ruu or sd methods which are better to save time and to save the device .. lol
3- Can you tell me what do I need when I want to upgrade to 6.5 (With Links).
I am really so sorry because of all these questions
Thanks Boss

Trying to help...
1. to revert for warranty reason,
Stock ROM, Stock SPL, Custom RUU
For tutorial and link, read this at point 4: http://ruslyfriend.blogspot.com/2010/09/concise-flashing-rom.html
2. I've read somewhere here, SD Method somewhat is safer to avoid your device from bricking. But RUU is more friendly for me.
3. Read the same tutorial above, I bookmarked the tutorial. It is real concise for beginners or XDA dummy like me.

Dear Mymailx,
I would like really to thanks you a lot too because you've provided me this link
If you don't mind I need two softwares:
1- To increase the volume.
2- Arabic language for the the whole X1, and what I mean for the phone it self, SMS, and for the keyboard.
Really thanks for everyone whom helped me in this nice site
Thanks.

You are welcome,
I can feel how you feel to be newbie here. I'd been newbie too. But never give up.
1. There's a patch called "AudioPara". All you need to do is download the files and move them to \Windows directory or you can install equalizer; HTC audiobooster, but it's not working on speaker.
2. You can have it if you choose proper ROM. Since you're trying to revert to the stock ROM, you can choose the proper stock ROM. Language is inside the SYS which is inside the ROM.

Thanks
Dear Mymailx,
Really, thanks again for your nice information
You know that I feel my self is a noobie .. lol because I've just bought it since just 5 days, and at the time some people told me that don't buy X2 because it's has some problems and there's no arabic language then I the sony ecrisson company stoped selling the X2 because of these things and no one is buying this Mobile, so I said to my self to buy X1, and then I saw this site which talking about how to install MW v6.5 then I started like to know how we can do this move .. lol .. This is my story
Anyway, do you have that link of "AudioPara" patch .. ?!! and I need to install the Arabic language now in WM v6.1, so if you know it just provide me the link, and really I will be grateful to you
By the way, did you installed WM v6.5 in X1, and if you know a good ROM give me the link
Thanks again to you mate

For increasing volume of speaker just install the attached cab
It will shout like hell

AudioPara has been solved by MrBlack'd
About arabic language. forgive me, I was wrong. I finally found that Arab is not supported in WinMo. I dunno know if it's right to believe. But the other way I found that there's a software name "Multilanguage Support Version 3.0" for Wm6.1 that can change your X1's language including Arab.
Unfortunately the download link is obsolete so you need a little search.
For Wm6.5.5 (newest version and build) you can try XPURE ROM by Russell Eclair for X2 interface and 862x and Energy ROM for HTC interface. Choos you like.

[Q] Qtek 9000 (Win mobile 5)

I have Qtek 9000, the world's first 3G Windows Mobile device!
520 MHz processor, WiFi and a full keyboard...etc.
I want to know if it's possible to install a newer OS and how?
Thank you

Look in this thread or in my signature

That's cool... however i couldn't find the instruction about how to install WM 6.5
I have German version of WM 5.0 and it sucks. Most of the new things are not supported anymore. Please give me a link for install instructions. Thanks you so much

Uh uh it must be that i was blind. It is there and i already have it downloaded. Thank you very much. I hope you will share the Windows Mobile 7 beta too

LOL WM 7 Suck I port it to Android

STOP! back it up a little, people!
you are talking about the qtek 9000, which is a UNIVERSAL, not a blueangel, do NOT try and flash blueangel roms to your device, you will brick it.
have a look at this section of the forum for further support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=247
also, android on the universal is quite different, because of the vga resolution and the completely different hardware, you will find ports in the upper mentioned section of the forum as well.

Oh i have this over read
Yes Qtek9000 is an Universal !!!!

Does it mean i should just forget about this and just use the version i have currently? Is it possible to be upgraded somehow? I would like to at least install the WM 5.0 but in English. I do not understand German at all.
Toooo bad if i can't do anything abut it. Shame for the good processor (it is good right?)

Man Chef_Tony have post link for your Device...

I know but i am just a n00b in this. Have no idea about anything. and i am afraid to not screw up something. Is it possible to flash the ROM i got or it's not? Thank you so much for the patience. It is much appreciated!

no it is not possible to flash a rom from THIS section of the forum, but in the link i gave you above, there are instruction and roms for your device. you are just in the wrong sub-forum. depending on your model of the universal, whether you have a G3 or G4 and whether you have 64mb ram or 128 you will find many different roms there (which type of device you have you can find out by checking the memory screen and the bootloader version)
