Hi all,
Just bought myself a HTC Diamond on Orange yesterday, and have been browsing the forum to see what I can do in terms of customisation and other features of the phone.
The problem I'm having is that, after registering for HTC-UK's E-Club, I'm unable to find the Diamond on the Support page
[ http://www.htc.com/uk/Support.aspx ]
If I go to the HTC Europe Support page, the phone is there, but it says the ROM upgrade is not available for my phone after I enter my serial number.
The phone I have is not modified in anyway - by which I mean that Orange have seemingly kept the original HTC stuff on it...anyone have any idea as to how I can upgrade please?
Thanks.
Actually it worked in my friends HTC which we both bought from same place but when he entered his serial number in the eurpoe's htc site his S/N was recognised as dutch phone and he was able to download the copy of the ROM .
I think its just wait and watch game for UK rom to release
I dont know if u hae any idea about if i install this dutch rom and i have a problem am i unable to get my normal orange rom by doing hard reset ???
you can't upgarde a operator ROM whit the official HTC ROM.
For system updates you have to ask your operator, in that case Orange.

Guys, go and read here, it contains all answers.http://www.modmydiamond.info/
Firstly...I'm with 3 in Australia
Ok, bought a TYTN II off ebay some months ago now from a Hong Kong dealer (that'll learn me) and it seems to not work with the 3G network here in Australia. The phone is always EDGE roaming and whenever it switches to 3G I can't send or receive SMS messages.
I've done some reading around and found that maybe I need to flash the ROM of the phone to an Australian one so that the phone will work properly. I found a thread on Whirlpool and someone there posted a link to this ROM for another user:
www.mediafire.com/?0jt1cwyx61g
Is that the ROM I want? If so, how do I go about flashing my phone with this ROM to make it work?
Can anyone help me??
You're more than likely having issues with the radio that came with the phone. Go to the ROM development forum, read how to unlock, install HardSPL, etc.. and then choose either one of the ROMs that come with a new radio available: NATF, Hyperdragon, Dutty's, etc... or look at one of the threads that show how to install a new radio. I'm not going to make any ROM recommendations, because it's really a matter of personal taste and how the ROM feels to you. For me personally, I've settled on T.i.R vk8 WWE build 19971. And I have radio version 1.58.25.17.
Hey dude,
congrats on the kick-ass new phone.
To help you with your prob, you'll have to signup and login to HTC E-Club for Australia, then download and flash the latest 3 ROM. Its the only way to ensure you have the correct inbuilt three network settings, there was a cab floating around a while back but it didn't include planet3 connectivity - only mobile internet.
look for this one :
HTC TyTN II WM6.1 ROM code for Hutchison ‘3’ Network customers
ROM version: 3.29.861.0
ROM date: 05/15/08
Radio version: 1.65.16.25
Protocol version: 25.83.40.02H
Date: 2008-06-02 Category: ROM Upgrade
I found the ROM development page and the list of radios that relate to the specific ROM's match the ones I already have (note: I already flashed my phone using the one in the link I provided in my first post).
I went and registered for HTC E-Club and went to download the WM6.1 ROM u mentioned Sanchez and when I entered the Serial Number it says the ROM is unsuitable for my phone. Is this because it is NOT an Australian phone?
Would this ROM actually work on my phone and would I be able to get a copy of it from somewhere else?
yeah, its not the actual ROM so much as the stuff Three bundle within that you need.
I'm aka Dr.Nerdlinger on whirlpool, a guy I recommended this to didn't have any problems, seemed to make his US Tilt into an Aussie Three TyTnII.. Havent tried it myself as Im already three branded.

I have flashed this ROM anytime I've had problems with others and it has always worked.
One question though, did Juvs Network Wizard not find 3 for you or it failed in some other way?
Congrats on your purchase and hope get as much out of it as I have

Damn! Sorry...
The ROM I posted the link to doesn't ask me for a "serial" when I've flashed it..
I assume you have run the Connection Setup wizard (Settings > Connections > Connection Setup?
Have you tried to manually enter 3's settings?
Perhaps flash the latest Hyperdragon III http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121
It has a suitable radio for Australia and I flashed this recently on a TyTn II purchased in Malaysia and all worked fine (as did the ROM I referred to earlier)
Ok but to flash to that (being a cooked ROM) dont I have to do something before I can flash to that? Is it HardSPL I have to install or something like that?
Yes... Unlock and flash a hard spl...
It is quite easy
Excellent directions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
I am in no way an expert with these devices but I have had no problem that hasn't been quickly resolved.
perhaps unlocking the phone may resolve your problem with flashing the 3 shipped ROM.... (again, no expert here)
Ok seems this is not gonna work. I've done some reading and apparently the board it to blame for my phone not working properly. Since it was an eBay job (but from a company) I can still get warranty but I have to send overseas to HK.
What do people think, I can buy a new TytnII for $659 and when the old one comes back from warranty I can sell it. Would the new one (if I bought from Australian store) work on 3G?
Unless it's faulty hardware, it shouldn't need a return. Don't spend your cash just yet
Try this new official 3.34.721.2 WWE HTC rom, with 1.70 radio.
Download it, plug your activesync cable in, run the exe file you downloaded - after 20 mins or so, you should have the latest ROM, with built in Aus Three Network detection (assuming you have a legal 3 sim-card)
(ps. it may seem like its stalled while flashing, but just give it time)
Report back if successful
Downloaded and installed last night - doesnt seem to have made any difference
sigh...

After Flashing a ROM you should always hard reset the device as well. After all this is done, what versions of the following are showing as being installed: ROM, Radio, SPL (can find the last one in the tri colour boot screen - read the wiki if you need to know how to get to the boot screen)? If all of this is showing correctly and you're still having problems then it's probably something like the sim (just any old sim won't do and it needs to be compatible with the phone). You could try another if you have a spare. When you switched it on, after a minute or so did you get a message popping up asking if you wanted to automatically configure the phone for your networks settings?
Hi
Basically i just tried to download the latest ROM from HTC support and it wouldn't let me, kept saying "not suitable for your handset" after i put in my serial number. Basically e-mailed the support and they say that because my handset is orange branded, that I cannot download it from them. I have recently found another way to download the ROM, but in the email it said that orange may have made har or software changes to the phone. Will this mean that the ROM will not work? Have not yet tried for fear of bricking my phone!!!
Thanks
will most likely Brick it.
its the SPL that controls what ROMs you can flash.
That sucks.... my phone hasnt been updated yet, and is still pretty slow!
Cheers for the reply!
you can always flash a Hard SPL (i believe 1.37 is the preferred one).
you can flash back to the original ROM and SPL for warrenty reasons... i'd suggest making a note of the existing SPL version (can be found in Bootloader - Soft reset and Vol Down button).
Just checked, my SPL is 1.37.0000, does that mean I can update?
Orange have their own version of the latest 1.93 rom
It has MINIMAL changes - mainly the auto set up of Orange data etc
It's really fast and stable
Give that a try
You can dowload an up to date ROM from the Orange (UK) website - I downloaded it a few weeks ago. It is version 1.93.405.1. It works much better and quicker and has no Orange specific branding. Why not go for that one as then your warranty will not be affected
Hi, could you link that ROM, please?
Can't find it on the website.
Many thanks.
Here it is, enjoy it before Orange push out 1.97:

Orange are still on 1.93...
Would anyone know if the latest version is still 1.93.405.1? Or if there is another recommended version? I tried "cookie" and the few he has released which were nice but had some minor issues.
right now my htc diamond orange is unlocked means i can use any sim in the phone,so if i upgrade diamond orange rom to 1.93.405.1 version as u described here so it will lock the phone or i can use any sim?plss tellll
Hey guys,
I really to remove some of my phone carrier's branding from underneath the word "start" and also in the main navigation menu.
Which is the easiest way to go about doing this?
Andrew
Hi,
simply flash a ROM of your choice and you'll get rid of all brandings.
Regards,
Zuzler
thankyou.
I updated the rom using "Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex".
But no go it's still the same...

That's the HardSPL that you updated, it allows you to flash any ROM. Now you need to actually flash the ROM. You can go for a cooked one or just the HTC WWE ship version, neither will have carrier branding.

Ok guys, I tried downloading HTC's latest rom - (released 27th Feb 2009, on this site.. found here) - and when it prompts me to enter my serial number I do so, and get this message..
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device".
Eeek. Am I living in the wrong location or what?
EDIT: I see that my phone is branded incorrectly for this. Damn..
Ok, so I tried installing the WM6 rom on my device without knowing it was in fact a Harrier and not a Blue Angel. I now realize I was very stupid in doing this. Now when it boots I get the stripes on the screen and "No GSM, D 5.60.00 WWE" written in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Does any one have an original Harrier rom they could upload so I can flash it back to the original WM2003?
If no one has that, is there a way to copy the rom from another, identical device?
xplode has a great firmware archive, where you can find about any original shipped rom, for the harrier, you find it here: http://firmware.atspace.com/Harrier.html
Thanks Chef_Tony. Thats got it working again perfectly.
i have the same problem it now says no gsm ....
what software do i need to make it work again ?
thx

Hit the link that Chef Andy listed, find your carrier in that list and download the latest one available
what i meant is which 1 do i download from the link chef andy left do i just use the upgrade tool or radio if so how do i find out which version i need ?
thanks
andy

Again, find your carrier (I'm assuming that the phone was running the official ROM that it shipped with for your carrier) in that list and download the latest one available. No one can tell you which one to download as no one else but you knows who your carrier is.
The radio version doesn't matter in this situation as the OS is coded to deal with a CDMA radio stack, and most, if not all, official ROM flashers will flash the radio stack with the OS. You are going to have to flash it back to whatever OS and build (usually WM2003 for the Harrier) is provided in the archive. If there are multiple versions of the ROM/radio available, generally the newer ones are the better ones.
You shouldn't need anything special for this as you will be flashing the official ROM for the phone. Download, run the executable and follow the on screen instructions.
ok ive downloaded all from these links and it tells me each flash ..
the rom image is not designed for your device . error code is wrong country code !!
i tried simunlock and now have no gsm showing in boot .
it was on uk orange network the phone is spv m2000
thx
well, your device is a blueangel, this thread is about the harrier. it deals with people trying to recover their CDMA devices after a bad flash, you have a GSM device, a completely different phone, and also, the source of your problem is not the same. thank god, the flash did not work, or your phone would be bricked for good.
you need to do a completely different procedure:
1. you go to xplode's BLUEANGEL firmware archive at http://firmware.atspace.com/Blueangel.html and download any rom in your language / from your country. then you put your device into bootloader mode and flash the device using maupgradeut_noid, found here: http://rapidshare.com/files/322928773/Chef_Tony_RUU.zip
2. then, when you have wm2003 back, please post back for further steps to go.
thank you i will do as you said and report back thx mate , ps are you realy a chef because i am lol i have been a chef around 26 years.
ok downloaded the orange uk but its file is corrupt so executable failed ...
looks like im not going to win ..
tried other orange uk files further down the list but still says country error code.
yes, the country id error is the reason, why you need to extract the 40mb exe file, put maupgrade in there, from the link i provided earlier, another thing to avoid the country id error, is to put the device into bootloader mode before starting the upgrade process, so, before you put the blueangel into the cradle, you press record+power+reset, until the display shows "Serial" and "V2.0x" where x is a number from 5 to 7, then you connect the device and start maupgradeut_noid.exe, which has to be in the same folder as the nk.nbf and all the other needed files. using the maupgrade instead of the BAupgrade and using the bootloader mode avoids nearly all the errors, like country id, device id and so on.
EDIT: btw. i am not a chef, i am a system administrator, the avatar and username are just my regular online name, named after the most ridiculous chef on american tv ^^

Tony is right, your phone would have been bricked.
For future reference, when you post, make sure to list your carrier and the exact model of phone. Anyone in these forums needs this info to attempt to offer the correct information to help.
In my posts, as Tony mentioned, this thread was dealing with Harriers, the CDMA version of the Blue Angel. When you jumped in, I thought that you were talking about a Harrier as well.
Keep in mind that each phone has it's specific ROM designed for that single model of phone alone, they are not interchangeable.
hi
