I have the Diamond and really like it but it is so slow as we know. I've trawled round the site but am a total noob to this. I read about hardspl (i think) and flashing roms and advanced config....I just want to speed up the device and dont know where to start. I've turned off all the whistles and bells and the handset is on Orange with a 1.37 ROM. Tried installing the advanced config. but it told me I need a newer framework thingy and now the icon is stuck on the device and I just want to throw it at the wall. I know you guys are busy as hell and that a total noob just kinda gets in the way but could someone just tell me what I need, where I get it and where I put it on the damn phone If someone can I'll get the Mrs to make you tea
Sorry guys but I have tried but am not that techy minded
Hey dude, don't worry.
Check this site out - http://modmydiamond.info/
Read through the radio and rom installation guides carefully. It's very easy to follow and you will have upgraded in no time at all. As for which ROM, I use Swift bl v.6. It's very stable and quick and includes adv config in it anyway. But there are many so check out the rom section of this forum and see what people say, same goes for the radios. Installing a new rom will wipe the data on your Diamond, so it should get rid of that icon problem anyway mate.
I don't know why noobs get such a hard time, this site can be bewildering due to the vast info presented and some of us don't have the time to trawl through it all - espically as lots of it seems so advanced.
Anyway, good luck.
I'll try to make it simple as I can, because just over a month ago I was a noob in the same boat as you... So I know the learning curve is pretty steep, but once you start plodding up it, it does level out.
BUT before you go any further, read and understand all of this very useful check list here...
Also, it'll help to keep this list handy throughout the procedures.
So, keeping it simple, go for HardSPL 1.24 from here. Flash 1.24 by following the instructions in post #1 of that thread... follow these instructions to the letter mind, that is the key!
Once you have your HardSPL successfully flashed, go get ROM 1.93.405.1_WWE from here.
This file is self extracting, and automates the flashing process, so all you have to do is follow the instructions given as it leads you through, and if in doubt, just re-read the two sets of the instructions I've pointed out to you (everything you need is in there).
Do all that precisely as instructed, and you'll be all tooled up with the latest and quickest standard HTC ROM for a UK device... Like you, I was on a UK Orange .37 ROM, and I found a welcome increase in performance when I went to .93
Ps, don't be put off by the RUU utility when you get to the page where it looks as if it's trying to update your current main rom with your radio rom... just keep on going, it isn't touching the main rom provided it is flashing only a radio... you'll see what I mean when you get to that stage.
Pps, I'm going to say it again... make sure you backup any very important data you may have on your phone... and ultimately there are no absolute guarantees when flashing devices, and you will see it many times written on this site that you can only get flashy with your device if you're prepared to proceed on this basis.
Otherwise Enjoy
Edit; oops, didn't see you there simcarloc... that's what my post was meant to look like before I got too carried away.
Take a look ath the Diamond Rom forum there are very good guide and step by step guides
Thanks guys, I'm going to have a look at what you directed me to this morning. I run a forum for a car club and I know when people first join up it can be hugely daunting and a tad scary, even with the best intentions noobs can get freaked out somewhat....cue me
Thanks for putting this in "laymans" terms for me as I think that is what noobs need first off and we'll pick the rest of it up as we go along, its not laziness on our part, personally I just had head data overload and was losing the will to live I'll go look at the stuff you've posted and let you know how I get on.
Once again thanks for taking the time out to explain in a language I may just be able to get my head round Thanks guys.
One quick Q....runn diamond-sspl.bat? How and where is this?
Its not playing
Probably my fault but all I get is..
There is no application associated with "diamond-sspl" or whatever folder I try, it keeps telling me to run the app first, but I have no idea what I'm doing now. Also tells me the framework isn't present. No idea.
Guess I'll be sticking with a slow device Thanks anyway guys
Hey there LoudyMcLoud,
Like you I am somewhat of a noob too…
But since you have a problem I encountered before (framework issue) I might be able to help you out in this first stage.
My device kept giving the message that my Framework was not up to date when I wanted to install a program. I went to search for the latest framework version at MS, and found the latest (beta) release. I installed that, and then I got the message that my framework was a newer version then needed…. Ahhh help me god.
So I took the easy way out, a hard reset did the trick for me (press and hold volume down + centre button + the soft reset button located in the stylus opening)
Remember, this procedure too, will wipe all date from your device, it will restore itself to the way it was when you first bought it.
Maybe after this you can use the steps mentioned earlier in this thread.
Good luck with your Diamond.
Just install the latest .net framework from microsoft that is NOT the Beta version - can't remember the version number, but this worked for me.
Good job,... hope you will get the rest sorted

It's in the zip file you should have already downloaded here.
Extract all files in this zip file to their own folder, make an activesync connection with your diamond, then away you go. (For starters I recommend you choose HardSPL 1.24 when prompted.)
Latest .net is 3.5 available here.
hi, I've just bought my G1 so I'm a noob frankly speaking. During yesterday I had tried to root my G1 (not sure successful or not), and successfully applying HardSPL on my G1 already.
and now, I would like to flash to CyanogenMod 3.6.5 which based on android 1.5, while currently my G1 is still firmware 1.0 and the baseband is 1.22.12.29 with TC4-RC29 build.
So, my question is, what should I do next so I can flash to CyanogenMod 3.6.5? From what I've read around the forum, it seems I have to update my Baseband version to 2.22 something is it? But, i also read that I must update radio before applying SPL... so if I'm going to update radio, will it brick my G1 since I HardSPL before updating this radio.
another question is that, do I have to update my build? what is the use of build actually...
thank you for everyone in advance
You're going too fast and you've confused yourself.
There are plenty of good guides around. Slow down, use the search, and READ EVERYTHING TWICE. If you carry on trying to do this stuff before you understand it, you're going to end up with a shiny new brick.
good advice
thanks for your advice. but can you please hint me where to get the good guide for a noob like me?
the problem is that I can't seem to find a good guide for a noob like me in the first hand because almost every topic regarding to the rooting just stop half after installing HardSPL... that's why I'm getting confused whether to install Radio first or SPL first...
at least the one that I'm referring did not mention anything about updating Radio and just installing the HardSPL right away.
thanks.
Here's all the guides you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519523
thanks a lot!!! Hope I can fully understand all these stuff
I don't understand also what to do. At the end I just want to install xap files on my phone.
I make successful installing on HardSPL. And after reading may be 500 posts i still don't understand what is the next step to deploy xap files on my phone. I read that I need Application Deployment tool but it doesn't work. So i did this (below) exactly and after this error:
error - application launch failed. ensure that the device screen is unlocked and device is developer unlocked.
i think that i'm missing something. What else after HardSPL i need so I can deploy xap files? If there is not other thing then why is this error. I do exactly instructions for deployment :
1.From your computer go to the Start menu and navigate to “Windows Phone Developer Tools”.
2.From among the options look for “Application Deployment” and select it.
3.When asked to specify a target device for deployment, choose “Windows Phone 7 Device”.
4.Direct the tool to the file path of the XAP entity you want in your phone.
5.Plug in your phone to the PC via USB cable.
6.Let Zune sync with your device.
7.Without letting your phone go to sleep, press the Deploy button in the tool running on your PC.
I forgot to say that my phone is HTC Mozart 7 and I hope that i'm asking in the right place.

I don't think so.
After reading 5 hours i found the simple answer.
After instaling HSPL u can now instal Custom Rom which is fully unlock.
That's it.
Hello!
In my previous post i asked for the best ROM for the X1, ive already downloaded the image file for a ROM called "EnergyROM_KOVSKY_20090805_Standard".
Now i just want to know how to Apply it to the phone.
What do i need to change in the phone before installing the ROM?
Is it even possible to change ROM in a prototype?
I also have problems updating my ROM (when i tried it before)...RUU gives me error code 262.
AS you may notice, im really retarded when it comes to this, but hopefully i will learn sometime.
I will post some device info. Just so you know whats inside the phone.
Rom-Version: 1.02.936.3
Rom-Date: 08/29/08
Radioversion: 1.06.25.29
Protocall version: 52.43.25.24U
CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 7200A
Clock: 528 MHZ
RAM-Size: 256 MB
Flashmemorysize: 512 MB
Database: 32 Bit
StorageSize: 281.58 MB
Bluetooth-Version: 2.0/2.0+EDR
Firmware: R1AA017
And please: Dont redirect me to some multi thread that is named "How to flash your phone) Cause ive already tried it, but i dont understand **** there
If someone would be kind enough to give me a step by step walkthrough on how i do to upgrade just that ROM that ive downloaded. And what other programs i need to be able to fix my phone.
Thanks in advance!
deleted post
You need to check in the bootloader(tri-colored screen) what your spl is... In order to flash a custom rom it will need to say this SPL-0.72.01OliNex....if it does not say this then you need to hardspl the phone...if you follow the instructions it is easy. Once this is done then you will need this....copy the ROM you have downloaded into the CustomRUU folder and execute the file. If this does not work....you will need to format your memory card(Fat32) and follow these instructions, plus there is a video tutorial regarding all the procedures you need....the instructions are as basic as one can get.
Good luck.
Regards,
WC

You mean that no person with a general knowledge about flashing rom = busting warranty shouldnt be allowed using a phone?
How do you know anything about what i do with the phone, with what apps im using, and what im using it for?
Mind your own business and come back to the thread when you have something to contribrute.

There's a list of error messages here somewhere. Maybe you can find it here. I think the answer is here. It sais just try again after turning off and turning it back on again
btw, being rude to other users isn't going to help you get your questions answered any faster. Updating roms isn't that hard anymore, but you need to be carefull and know what you're doing. If you don't understand how flashing works and what you need to do for that, you can read the stickies in this rom section. I think it's explained very clearly and step by step lots of times.
edit: looking at all your posts, it seems you've asked the same about three times, and most things kan be found easily by google or the xda forum search. Maybe try a bit harder before asking here?
if you don't like criticism, just ignore my post; everybody has to learn to work with windows mobile, but the only way is to try a lot yourself, search, try some more, search again, then ask and try some of the answers given. Don't get agitated when not everyone is giving you the right answer in clear steps, most of the users are trying to explain as good as they can with the information provided.
the guides are pretty thorough...
if you read them its clear enough...
(assuming you want to use non official Sony roms - you need to flash your hardspl so you wont get errors... (think this is where you're stuck)...
download a hardspl and flash it via activesync)
Then
copy the rom into your sd card root directoy...
rename it to kovsimg.nbh
hit the reboot switch while holding down power and the down vol button to start the update process
this is the easiest way...
but as above, if you want shortcuts for everything and dont read the instuctions clear you MAY END UP BRICKING YOUR PHONE...

I'ts a difference in writing a post with no meaning and a post like you just did.
Example: You start a new thread, no matter what it's about. There are two guys responding.
One guy is giving you this as a answer: Lol, thats kinda noobish that you dont know how to use your phone.
The second guy answers just like you did, you gave me information and links on where and what to search for. But still points out that theres many "obvious" stuff that im asking for.
Big difference.
Back to topic. I've already figured out how to do all, i have all the files that i need.
The problem is that when i try and update the SPL to 1.00.X1 instead of thje other 1.02.Olinex (or what its called) I always get a connetion error 262.
Ive read the links that you gave me before, and it says that you need to either softreset, change usb port or reboot your computer. Guys in another thread gives the same instructions.
Still no success.
So since i've done my searching, done the exact procedure that you should do. And it's still not working. Is that still something just "obvious" to ask for?
And i apologize if i hasn't been clear enough in this thread that the phone im using is a proto. And i still haven't been confirmed by some other proto user that this method is acctually working.
I'm thankfull for all the (helpfull) responses i get. And im trying them all.
If something else comes up i will post it in this thread. No matter if its obvious or not.
Have a nice day everyone!
Looks like there's a connection error when your phone reboots to go into tri-color boot menu.
Google for USB Mass storage device, download the driver and install it and then try again.
Of course you have to find the right driver for your OS.

haha, damn, thats obvious, that i didnt think of that before. hehe, thank you!
Btw, if the phone gets into the tricolor menu, and the progressbar shows up (but still stuck at 0%) can it still be because the driver?
Thanks
if its stuck at 0% it means you're not flashing a compatible rom...
obviously you havent flashed the spl...
flash a OFFICIAL sony rom first... if you still have issues at least you know its either the 'prototype' hardware
or your PC...
which i'd suggest try flashing from another PC...

Oh, im sorry if i didnt expressed myself good enough.
When im using X1_HardSPL i get the 284 update error.
When in using the custom RUU i get the 262 error.
So i guess the X1_HardSPL application is to change SPL?
If i cant seem to change SPL i wont be able to change rom either. Correct?
Since i have the SPL that was shipped with the phone, can i still upgrade from R1A to R3A without changing SPL?
Have you disabled any of your firewall and anti virus programs when you try using the software?
I previously always had to disable my zonealarm firewall before I could uset he spl software....
Yes I've done.
yes if you have the stock SPL you can upgrade from R1a to R3a with the standard SE update utility.
which can be downloaded at the SE site under support.

The Phone is still a Proto.....
Therefor not accepted by SEUS
Try flashing the official Sony Ericsson ROMs first. No need to Hard-spl for those.
I cant install R3A :S
It says "No image found" bootloader.
And the card is FAT32, and the file is named Kovsimg.nbh
And yes, its placed in the root of the Card.

And if you try to flash via ActiveSync with CustomRUU? That worked most of the times with my X1. Oh wait, that got you the error 262.
In one of your other threads someone says (or you quoted) that one of the advantages of a proto was that there's no security check, which means it might not even be necessary to use HardSPL first.
I've had error 262 a few times; just try to flash again, maybe from another computer if that's possible. You can also try to flash another rom first.
Which roms have you tried flashing? Have you tried with a freshly formatted sd-card smaller than 2 gb (although I think that won't have any effect); you can also try renaming kovsimg.nbh with all small letters, all capitals or the way you just spelled it. It might be important.
offtopic: I get your point on the reactions you get when opening new threads. Everything is simple when you now where to look or if you've done it before, but it can be very hard to find the answer when there's so much info to choose from.
That said: a topic title of something like "having trouble flashig a custom rom to prototype" sounds a bit more serious then "need massive help" with a lot of exclamation marks. That might set people off on the wrong foot.
Hi guys,
I've been searching and searching, but a lot of the posts are dated June or July and I'm basically hoping to get the latest information.
I'll start with the details:
Rogers Branded HTC Dream
Recovery: CyanogenMod v1.2 + JF
Dream PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBoot: 1.33.2005 (DREA21000)
CPLD-4
Radio: 3.22.20.17
Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43
FW Version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 62.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17
Kernel Version: 2.6.27-9af60ed4
[email protected]
Build No.: 1.85.631.5 146733 CL#33863 release-keys
Rooted (I think/hope!)
My Questions:
1- What is the best OS out there right now? (I know this depends on the user, but there must be ones that are more popular than others and ones that should be avoided). I'm mainly looking for something that would address the following:
* a proper voice dial ... the one that came with the phone is half assed ... recognition is great, but it's not exactly hands-free!!
* multi-touch ... I hate the iPhone, but you gotta agree that's one kickass feature
* SMS time stamp issue ... after 2 weeks it still confuses the hell outa me for the first few seconds
* My inner geek would like a good linux/unix shell too ... don't ask why
2- I can't get anything later than CyanogenMod 1.2, it won't get past the boot splash ... re-flashing to the 1.2 works ... any ideas?
3- All the links to the 'latest radio' point to a 2.x version, but I have 3.x ... doesn't that mean I have a newer version?
4- I flashed Splash1 and Splash2 to 2 different PNG images, but on boot I get what seems to be the default splash screen, 3 androids on skateboards (It used to be the Rogers logo). What are the specs on the splash image? and where do each of these splash screens come up?
5- How do I know if my phone is actually rooted? I type 'adb root' and I get 'adb is already running as root' ... is that enough?
6- if I type 'adb shell' and then 'su' the command is not found ... are these *nix commands only available in custom roms?
If you're about to start flaming, please take it elsewhere. I'm frustrated, overwhelmed, and not exactly satisfied with my search results because many posts are old and in some cases conflicting. Forums are where (the more experienced) people help other people.
If I've missed out any details/questions, I'll update my post. I will also update the first post with the answers immediately after the questions, is possible in a different color (it's easier for new people to follow up and get answers).
Thanks a lot for your time (I'm sure you've had stupid n00bish questions too, before you became 1337 ).
Next time search more to post the thread in the good place
ANDROID is the BEST OS for ROGERS HTC DREAM. actually its the only one. an OS is sumthign like android,windows mobile,webOS,symbian,etc.

1- You can't run any OS other than android. We have different builds/ROMs, some based on the google source code, others are HTC builds.
Voice dial is an app issue, maybe there's one on the market
Some ROMs have multi-touch in the browser, HTC Hero builds also have it in the gallery app.
No idea about the time stamp issue :-S
There's several terminal emulators in the market.
3- I believe Rogers Dreams use a different radio image, don't flash anything without some confirmation that it's for the rogers dream.
4- Splash images (you're flashing via fastboot, right?) need to be converted to a raw format, not .png's
5- Grab a terminal emulator from the market, type 'su' and if it works the $ will turn to a #
Thanks Adrian.
@imfloflo: Next time, if you have nothing useful to say, don't say anything at all.
@brian: I meant what is the best ROM out there. I'm quite familiar with the definition of OS and am a software engineer, I thought it would be clear enough that I'm not trying to Install Windows XP on my device.
Thank you Adrian for actually ANSWERING questions.
I've looked at the source for the voice dial app and it doesn't seem to be too much work to fix it (in fact the code to just execute the action if only one match is found is already there, but commented out!!), but I haven't been able to flash my build onto the device ... I can't get past the boot splash.
About the radio, yes I've heard that too and that's why I've been so reluctant to flash anything out in the forums on the device ... they all seem to stress that you need the specific radio image.
So the splash images have to be raw, I can do that, what about bit depth? 8 bit per color? is that RGB or RGBA?
su says permission denied ... so I've probably missed some of steps in the rooting instructions
Thanks again for the answers

Damn, I guess you don't have root, not really sure what to suggest as I'm not familiar with the rogers rooting process. Just start again I guess?
Here's a how-to for the splash images. I've never done it, for the simple reason that if ever I brick my phone I can send it back to HTC and claim an OTA update bricked it. They're hardly going to believe me if my splash image says "I CAN HAZ ROOT, LOLZ" ;-)
I just realized I forgot something pretty important regarding rogers dream, I don't think you can flash ROMs at the moment. You can get root, and there are themes floating about, but I don't think anyone's managed to successfully flash a new ROM. Sorry if I got your hopes up back there.

Yeah, I'll give the rooting another shot.
I almost knew it may be impossible (or simply too much of a hassle to do), but I'll call them and ask how to install my own custom flashes on it ... it's open source after all ... They should either not carry an open source product or if they do, do it the 'open source' way
Cheers
you can flash ROM's very easily...im not a technical expert so i cant really help you that much...but check dream android development...it has all the android ROM's...you have to reroot and theres stickys that should help a lot with some of your questions atleast...

It's not the actual flashing ... I've read (as Adrian also confirmed above) that you can only root a Roger's Android for now.
I've already built the source and even flashed it to the device, but it just sat on the boot splash screen
Copolii, when you say, "call them", are you talking about Rogers? There's no way they're going to help you. Rooting voids the warranty. Currently there are a couple of threads floating about where people are trying to talk to Rogers and I believe get the source for for the Rogers branded Android OS, or something else which Rogers states is open source but has never actually released the code. They haven't succeeded yet due to Rogers claiming it's HTC's problem and what-not. If you phone them, they'll only tell you that you should have bought an Android Dev Phone 1 (ADP1).
It works
for those who care, I was able to put a few roms on the device and they all seemed to work. In fact as soon as I rebooted I had an incoming call
The ROM that I ended up keeping (at least for now) was Soulife's Rogers Remix v2.9.2 (Aug 5, 2009).
It has only been a few hours, but so far so good
Thanks to those who helped
I called rogers about getting access to their Android source (lol ... I wasn't gonna ask them for rooting help, that'd be too n00bish ... even for moi) ... they've been rather useless.
I noticed HTC had a support number too, they were a lot helpful and the guy even put my name down as a possible beta tester and said he'd get back to me on the Android source request. There's another thread here about it ... it has been going on since July I think and no progress.

Then maybe this just isnt for you, there are explicit tutorials in the dream general and this section...
There is a guide in the dev section called "want to run hero read this first" something tells me you should start there. Or you can root your phone and flash the hard spl and try the new hero rom that was made to fit into the confines of the hard spl. The best way for you to know what you are doing is to read then read again then read one more time, then when you are done with that if you still don't understand keep reading then if you still can't get it then it just might not be for you.
thanks you... i really want this in my phn. oh well see wut we got there
