I have HTC Touch Diamond P3700 & its CD that came with the set.
I want the original ROM (windows) along with all its software preinstalled like touch flo.
I am unable to find the shipped ROM in CD. Does HTC doesn't provide the original ROM in CD?
Please tell me from where i can get original ROM, which can take the set to its original position.

Is this a htc labeled diamond or a branded (o2, T-Mobile ...)?
If this is a htc go to www.htc.com, select your country, support, choose your product, choose the category, download the latest rom.
Otherwise go to the website of the provider (o2, T-Mobile ...)
Many thanks for your reply and support.
I have downloaded the ROM from the HTC website. It asked for my device serial # and gave only one option of ROM, so i downloaded the same.
Before flashing, i just want to confirm that whether this ROM would have the preinstalled programs like touch flo, windows live & messanger, acrobat reader etc?
It will very helpful for me if you can confirm me the above also.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this apps are included. Could you please post which rom exactly you are going to flash?
I actually don't have the stock rom on my diamond, but I think acrobat reader and TouchFlo 1 should be in this rom. By Windows live and messenger I am not shure.
The detail of ROM that i have downloaded from HTC website is as follows:
ROM Version: 2.03.421.2 WWE
ROM Date: 27/02/2009
RADIO Version: 1.09.25.23
PROTOCOL Version: 52.51.25.26 H
or File name is: RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-AFK_2.03.421.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship
Moreover, please note why i am saying such programs as "Preinstalled" program coz when i go to remove programs, i don't find the name of these programs or these programs can not be uninstalled.
Such programs are acrobat readers, office, java, windows live & messenger, camera, opera browser, rss hub, youtube, zip, streaming media & some others.
Thanks in advance for your kind time and support in this context.
I look forward to receive the reply from you very soon.
Many thanks in advance.

Sorry, I don't know which programs exactly are included in this rom.
But if these programs (you want to) are part of this rom, you will be not able to uninstall it - so fare I know.
I know TouchFlo (V1) is part of this rom. Just try it and you will see ...
These apps are in the shipped ROMs and you cant uninstall them,
if you don't want them you can use cooked ROMs which are customizable.

After seeing more than a few requests on the board, I figured it was high time to cook up a clean ROM for everyone to use. The purpose in creating it was two-fold. One, I wanted to have a core ROM that wasn't littered with carrier customizations and two I wanted to create a solid base for others to play with.
Cooking up your own ROM can be scary the first time you do it, it's a lot safer to simply mess with tweaking the Extended ROM and leaving the OS and bootloader alone. The Mr. Clean ROM only loads four items (Disable Cert, MMS Folder Creation, MIDlet Java Session Fix and Total Commander) so it's great to use as a base to build on or simply to flash over completely.
As for the ROM itself, I used the core OS from the latest T-Mobile beta ROM (AKU 2.3) and the Radio ROM from the latest Cingular beta ROM (2.25). As many have already noticed, though the two carrier releases share the same version number for their respective Radio ROMs, they are not idential files. The Cingular Radio ROM appears to much better at keeping a signal.
--------------------------
Exact version numbers are as follows:
IPL: 2.24
SPL: 2.24
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.24.10.1
Within the OS, Device Information reports:
ROM version: 2.24.10.1 WWE
ROM date: 4/17/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
ExtROM version: 2.24a Mr. Clean
And the OS build is reported as:
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
--------------------------
I've been testing it out for a few hours now and the build seems to be solid. Boot time is very quick and it appears to acquire a network signal almost immediately.
A2DP is supported natively in the ROM.
Any questions, please post here in the thread. Otherwise I hope this helps all the non-Cingular/T-Mobile users as well as the budding ROM chefs out there!
The ROM is currently on the FTP at:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/MrClean_RUU_WIZARD_224a_AKU23_WWE.zip
Note: 2.24a was uploaded on 6/17/2006 and contains the Java Session fix. Please DISREGARD v2.24 and don't bother using it. If an FTP admin is reading this, please feel free to DELETE MrClean_RUU_WIZARD_224_AKU23_WWE.zip from the safe area. This file supersedes it.
Edit: 4/7/06 v2.24 deleted from safe area (eDsuB)

aalright now after i install this rom where can i get the proper t-mobile settings? ive looked around and ive seen it once but now i cant find it
ahhh. man. i just upgraded to the tmobile 2.24 last nite becaue i couldnt wait anymore, and now you have this. lol. i would rather a core rom though so i still mite get this
i just install this rom and installed all the cabs of the t-mobile ext rom and well theres one thing the comm manager isnt the same.
it has the same settings int he settings menu like the usb to pc thing just the comm manager is different is there any way to change the comm manager to the new layout.
This is great, thanks.
So what exactly do you do for the MMS folder creation? When I have updated in the past and not run the extended ROM stuff, I didn't have an MMS account. So I had to make a registry change to enable MMS account creation, then create it in the messaging application. Is that basically what you do?
ikkoku - Glad you like it. I'll try to keep it going as new ROM releases ship out. To answer your question about the splash, it's a custom screen.
jacob-mda - Check out the thread listing the functions of the T-Mobile 2.24 Extended ROM. I've listed out the known components in there. If you just want the GPRS/WAP and MMS settings you should be good to go if you grab the following CABs from the T-Mobile ExtROM and install them:
MP_Customization_TMOUSA_Wizard(AKU2.x)_060510.CAB
P_Generic_Conn_Settings.CAB
gizm0luvsu - I'm not sure what you mean when you say the Comm Manager isn't the same. If you're talking about the difference between the old 1.x ROMs and the new, you'll note that the Comm Manager now has seven items in it instead of four. It's going to look a bit different just because of the new functions.

Here, this will only install the T-Mobile GPRS/MMS/IE/OTA settings. (this was made by xelencin on a previous ROM)

Basically. When trying to figure out how to do it, I was pointed to one of the default carrier CABs that does just that -- creates the MMS folder and adds the Java link. So I just used that CAB to do the work.
what i mean is that i know its supposed to look different. when i was using 2.21 it had 5-6 things in it now when i upgraded to this mrclean one it only has the original 4.
but it has the usb-> pc sync and stuff that the new one has
Prophet
does such a rom also excist for the htc prophet??
in my case the orange spv m600 with latest dopod rom.
or is this rom already good to go for prophet users???
could al the people who reply to this post mention on what device the installed it on.
so everybody knows whats going on here.
I know this is the forum for the wizard but allot of programs and upgrade for the wizard are usable on the prophet.
can you tell me if this is possible or not?
thanx

The Comm Manager in the MrClean ROM has seven options in it. Just like the other AKU 2.3 ROMs. If you've only got four options in the Comm Manager you don't have the ROM properly flashed.
I would double check to make sure that the version numbers match what I have posted above. Also, make sure your device is CID-unlocked before trying to flash this ROM.
i actually reflashed my rom and now it does have the 7 thx for the info

I would NOT try to flash this ROM to anything but a Wizard device. I honestly wouldn't know if similar ROMs exist for other devices. Since I only have a Wizard, I can only test things on a Wizard so anything I build is going to be solely for the Wizard (at least until I get my grubby hands on more toys).

Some maybe HTC but most of them are stock updated ROMs especially the R2A
Due to a few requests and because some Chefs may be struggling to port the XIP from the Iolite I've decided to release my SuperROM Kitchen.
This kitchen will build a Jade ROM with CE 5.2.20765 (Build 20765.1.4.4) OS and kernel.
All the Jade applications have been updated to the newer Iolite versions and Iolite's Footprints is included.
The XIP and SYS from the Iolite have been fully ported.
A few drivers remain from the European 1.40.405.3 ROM, the rest are updated.
Sample footprints, pictures, music and movies have been removed.
Opera and Google Maps have been removed and are included as CABS.
TIP: If you remove Footprints you can disable the Footprints Widget by setting enable to 0 in the Tabs section of the HTCHomeSettings.xml file.
Many thanks to udK for the original Jade Kitchen and to the following for their tools which without none of this would be possible.
bepe for his BuildOS & XIPPort
Dark Simpson for his HTC ROM Tool
misar for G'Reloc & M'Reloc
Olipro for his Hard-SPL
tupisdin for the shipped ROM

hello,thank you for your Package,but i have a question, what are X0-X9 ?
thanks again~
I also don't know about the following files,could you explain the functions for me pls :
PACKAGE_Iolite_CLL
PACKAGE_Iolite_zlibce_m
UpdateBlock
ShadowPkg
many thanks!
so if I copy some cabs in the folder CABS and then run buildrom.bat the applications (that cabs file) will be compiled/included in the rom?

No, the CAB folder just contains the two cabs removed from the build.
It's a bad idea to have cabs included in the ROM, i.e. Google Maps and Opera. When the device does it's first boot it installs these cabs but it can't delete the cab files as they're burnt into the ROM so you are wasting about 5MB of memory. The idea is to copy these to your Jade and install them after the first boot, the cabs can then be delete from the Jade.

CLL has to do with Client Location, when you use the Footprints app it will try to determine your position using a few different methods, GPS, WiFi, CellID (it aks your permission the first time you use it). If it can determine your position it uses it as the default caption for the footprint.
zlibce seems to be a compression/decompression library that is probably used by another application.
UpdateBlock, ShadowPkg, X0 to X9. I don't know, they were in the original Iolite ROM so they're in the kitchen. You can probably delete them and your ROM will work fine although you'll save very little space.
I only took out Google Maps and Opera as it's pointless and a waste of space having CAB files burnt into the ROM when they can be installed after you've flashed your ROM.
thank you for your answer~
but i got new one:
is there any solution to stop Activesync popping up automatically??
fake server setting seems not work for me ~

so do I have to copy my part01 and 02 in the kitchen? or it's enough to "build.bat" and the rom is ready? If that so, what's the point of "kitchen"? and what is exactly these "footprints" ?

No, you don't copy anything from your ROM into the kitchen, the idea is that you take things out if you want a 'lite' version.
If you want to know what Footprints is then I suggest you build a ROM in my kitchen, install it and have a play around... or have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YITWCZxvHz0, not the same phone but you'll see a footprints demo about 1 minute into the movie.
yeap, really great. so this rom is exactly as it comes (in other words is kitchen for jade with iolite (footprints) features) and we will modify it as we want, or let it as it is. and footprints will use automatically the gps, to take the coordonates?
Footprints
Does anybody have a problem with footprints?
It wont start up on my jade
If i want to make a new picture nothing happens.

It's not just 'Kitchen for Jade' plus Footprints, everything is updated including newer OS and kernel.
Footprints will automatically use the GPS, it will also use AGPS if you agree to it the first time you use footprints (and yes you can switch off the AGPS later if you don't want it). You can't switch of the GPS as otherwise Footprints would just be a camera!

Hi Guys
Ive done a search but cant find anything specific so im starting a a new thread.
I have a Touch HD which I got through Orange UK.
Rom version sis: 1.19.61.1 WWE
At the moment im told that I cant receive any updates directly from the HTC site and orange dont really seem to care about offering a good after service.
So my option is to flash my phone with a new ROM, however which version to go for is my biggest question and I really dont have any idea. I understand the flash proceure. WIll any ROM allow updates from HTC site?
Thanks

hi
i also have a uk branded orange touch hd
i flashed it with the latest official rom from htc (the one that needs a serial number to download and the orange serials dont work)
just use a serial provided in the offical rom upgrade thread to download the rom from htc and use uspl 2.5 to flash it
i used uspl 2.5 to upgrade the rom
all info can be found using the search fuction on this forum
i also made a dump of the phone before i flashed it, just need someone to rebuild the .raw files to a flashable rom
hope this helps
math
Nice one Math, that helps a lot! Will give this a go over the weekend.
Craig
Ok, where do we start? Which ROM you choose is really a bit like asking what car should I choose to buy. The choice is entirely yours based on what you want and what you like.
I think the first question to ask yourself is what do you want? What Windows Mobile OS do you want? WM6.1, WM 6.1 with Touch flow, WM 6.1 with the latest version of Touch flow or WM 6.5 Beta. I'm sure there are more but lets keep it simple.
WM 6.1 or 6.5? HTC Touch Flow or not? What is your native language as you have nothing set in your profile etc?
May I suggest you have a look through the first few posts of each of the ROM threads for this month and see what takes your fancy. If you ask ten people you will get ten possibly different answers.
Look at peoples signatures and see what most people use as most display what current ROM they are using. Maybe try a few, but I suggest use the safest route and follow the instructions to the letter.
Its always a matter of personal opinion but I like Duttys current WM6.1 with TF3D XT3. It's the latest and well tested with fewer bugs than the stock ROM from HTC (IMHO) and is based on the latest technology from the next gen HTC phones.
Do your research and enjoy!

Did manage to keep the back up on original rom in cause of warranty reason. I have try quite a lot of cook rom the only problem I had was mainly with battery life wasn’t good and will not last for a day or so. Since with this rom, HD|ROM||WWE|| ** EnergyROM HD Series 21042 - Final Topaz Manila ** || Build 40909 || man!! The software and battery life is incredible. Yes I would recommend to you

where did u get this rom from? link?
couple of newbie questions. I also have orange phone ...
If I upgrade to the latest HTC rom will I loose all my programs installed in the phones memory?
Will I loose my programs/they stop working (e.g. Tomtom) that have been reigstered with the phone (in add/remove programs) on my memory card?
Can I restore everything from a backup (sprite) ?
Is there any way of goign back to the older ROM if I need to send my phone back for warranty reasons?
Thanks
James

yes you will lose all programs, have to be installed again
if you take backup from your current ROM you can restore it later

Thanks for info. Just to clarify a couple of things..
Will my sprite backup restore all programs and settings to the new rom version?
How can I backup my existing ROM? I'm guessing the official ROM is a HSPL?
Thanks

USPL and HSPL these are different method of putting new ROM to your phone.
you will find more information in here:

Thanks again. I never thought it would be so complicated. I thougth someone would have created a GUI for this stuff, its amazing what they have GUI's for these days and this is still command line.
Still unsure as to wether I can restore my sprite back up after going to 1.56 rom though. With the amount I have installed its probably not worth the effort for now.
I recently upgraded from WM6 to anryl WM6.5. I no longer have mobile word, excel or pdf on my phone. please hw do I reinstall this sofrwares or where can I get it from, bcos I really make use of them.
I still have the original CD that came with the phone.
recent phone upgrade is hardspl 3.56.xxxxx and radio 1.70.xxxxxx.
pls help..............

post this in anryl ROM thread.. or else look out for some other which has those stuff in it....
You can easily google this site. Someone would have posted the Cabs ..
Or if your ROM has the Device Update, you can use it too to download.
Garmin had one in his collection! Or use search link in my sign to find the cab. There is a lot of them floating here in this forum!
