Need Help!

Guys I am new on this forum and it's great
But i need some help, i have bought my Touch Diamond in Switzerland where i live, but when i login HTC e-club i still see that the newest rom is the one i had when i bought the phone, and that's 1.35.408.4 ITA.
Is there any way i can update my phone to the lastest ROM, and if yes wich one is it, and how do i have to update my phone?
Thank you very much guys

If the downloadable rom at the HTC website is the same as the one in your phone, what makes you think there's a newer official rom? There's a lot of rom's being cooked here, but those are not official. And perhaps in Hong Kong there's a newer version, and if that one works fine I'm sure they will make a Swiss or Italian rom of it. Unless you can read Chinese on your Diamond

ok i know that im a noob, but could you please tell me how to check the version on the e-club site of the rom? i dont know how to check it thx

We all have to start some day
I'm not aware yet of how to check it, the only way I've figured out is by the filename it's downloading. It gives you several numbers eg. RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.37.401.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship.exe . 1.37.401.3 = ROM, 1.00.25.03 = Radio.. 52.26a.25.09 = Protocol. Then you can still decide to cancel or continue downloading.

Can not get update from HTC support? anyone have this prob?

Hi guys. Just upgraded from an original Touch to a Diamond. Before I start setting it up, I went to HTC's site to get the latest updates.
I love cusotmizing my device with themes, pic etc, but I am not into flashing cooked roms (yet).
HTC has 2 rom upgrades on their site. One from like July last year and one from Jan of this year.
When I enter my S/N it says my device does not support this rom???
I have a Diamond P3700
The current rom is Rom Base 1.93.422.4 Dated July 18th 2008
Radio 1.09.25.23
Am, I missing something? Was the January 09 update not for some Diamonds?
I know when you flash its like a hard reset, so I want to have the latest official rom on my device before I start putting in all my info.
Anyone have this issue???
thanks!

Mike,
if you got your device from a mobile operator or have a "branded" phone (T-Mobile, Vodafone, Verizon, Orange, whatever), you'll probably have no access to updates from the HTC website. Operators make some changes to the ROM (themes, settings, applications) so they reserve the right to select which updates they make available to their customers. (Booooo.)
In that case, the only thing you can do is ask your operator (visit their website) if there are any updates available.
You'll have unrestricted access to HTC's updates only if you have a "free" device.

FYI : Bell is currently working on a ROM version with HTC guys. It should be out somewhere during this year. (I hope so, because the ROM Bell gives is really retarded)

I have a unbranded unlocked phone and have the same problem. Support replied that the 2.03 ROM is not yet available for Eastern Europe phones (my case by the looks of it). No info on release date for us though.

There is a new Touch Diamond ROM posting in HTC website here:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=483&news_id=68
You may input your serial number to see whether this new ROM suitable for your device or not.

Same here
I've tried to download the new ROM but get a out of service message. Someone must have this ROM and can give access to it?
Thanks

upgrading ROM
my experience with upgarding via HTC website.
i have a HTC Artemis + HTC Touch Diamond, both came with English WM OS.
Bought both in mainland China though they both imported, Artemis via Taiwan, and Touch Diamond via HK.
when i tried to obtain latest ROM via HTC HK website last week of Feb 2009, basically i could only download the RUU 2.03 CHT_CHS ROM. i was not allowed to download the English language version of the ROM. Here's HTC explanation.
The two phones were shipped via the original HTC agents in both countries with HTC CHT (Traditional Chinese) ROM's. Even though i bought both phones in mainland China with English ROM's. (Obviously the store or a supplier on the mainland had flashed the English HK ROM's).
Basically HTC's view is that flashing the ROM's with any other ROM outside what it shipped with OEM voids the warranty (if one is not careful, one can also brick the phone too!) LOL
Interestingly this means that my new phones were void of warranty initially anyway the day i bought them, since i bought them from the dealer with English version ROM (official HK English ROM), though both phones were meant to be CHT ROM's. If i sent either phone back to their respective HTC service depts. artemis to Taiwan or Touch Diamond to HK, i would have been out of luck claiming warranty!
(anyway i got my hands on the official HK/Taiwan English ROM's and flashed my phones myself... HTC have been a fat lot of use over any technical support issues i have contacted them about in the past).
Note that not all ROM's are the same, service providers and manufacturers can decide what is and what isn't included in their respective ROM, which consequently locks the phone to that ROM and any future updates. Even though one may think they are buying an unlocked phone, with no restrictions etc. how certain can you be of how it was shipped ex-factory, or the route that the phone took before arriving in store?
OP, it sounds to me as though you have a phone that had been altered somehow before you bought it, and is not supported for the upgrade ROM you want. The same situation that applies in my case.
One way to check is try downloading all the different ROM's there are on all the different HTC region/country websites using your serial number... sooner or later you will find the right ROM even you may not want it, but at least you will know the status of how your phone was setup ex factory... because if the ROM was changed somewhere between ex-factory and the store without HTC's okay then your phone is void of warranty (unless you flash it back to OEM).

sinned69 is right, you can't just go to any HTC site and download a ROM, your serial number matches a certain region and you must go to that HTC region site, from there you will be able to download the ROM. Where (which country) did you buy the phone, or do you know where it came from? If you know this information, then just go to that HTC region site.

By the end of January, I called HTC hotline. They said they'll upload East EU version next week. It's March and I can't download anything. How do you think, isn't it time to remind HTC has to release a East EU rom?

No luck-
I tried downloading the newest HTC update from Feb 09-- still says your device is not supported.
I downloaded the file using a provided serial in another thread for the WWE version.
Can I use this file to flash my rom????
My diamond is an UNBRANDED and UNLOCKED version.
It's a 1.93.422.4 WWE currently...
Any idea if this will work ok for me?????

HTC Diamond in South Africa
Although I am a member of the HTC europe club, I do not have access to the 2.03 Jan release ROM at this stage.
The reason for this is that the SA agents have still not had the ROM approved by our Network Operators, so the HTC Club site continues to post the old Rom.
Once the approval is given, HTC will post the new ROM for us to upgrade.
HTC uses the serial numbers to control who gets what ROM upgrades.
Our phones are HTC branded and not network locked. It is illegal for networks to lock phones in SA.

New rom for HTC diamond

I know that i may sound like a noob to you guys
But i just got my first ppc (the HTC diamond touch) with a dutch (i am) rom installed.
now i've tried to get the new rom from HTC but they say my ppc is not compatible.
What i like to know is, if i get a new rom and flash it do i need a new WM 6.1
or is that in the rom or does it install ( like a backup on the phone)
If it is the last option, where can i get a "clean WM6.1"
If this question has been asked before then i'm sorry i probably didn't see it
Sincerely yours
Harry

Try this S/N on HTC :

Why would you look like a noob to us? Just because you've just got your first PPC? Everybody has to start somewhere.
First question I've got is, do you own a real Touch Diamond or do you own the T-Mobile MDA Compact IV? If you own a Diamond touch you've should be able to flash the latest Dutch rom without problems. If you own a MDA Compact IV you've need to flash a hard-SPL into the phone otherwise you can't flash original Touch Diamond roms.
You can use this S/N for downloading the original Touch Diamond rom from the HTC homepage.
To upgrade to Hard-SPL you can follow this tutorial. Only do this when you know what your doing and if you understand the risks.

Another one here also. So how about a SN for a Sprint US Version?
I did search and all i found were the Two Dutch SN's for the EUR Version on HTC's Site.
Thanks,
Bryan

Searching for Czech rom

Hi all,
i don't know if i posts this one in the right topic, but i really need to flash my Diamond to the Czech language...
At the moment the Diamond is running the official Dutch rom, but since i got myself the HD2, my collegue wants to take over my old Diamond. The problem is that he is a Czech...
So, i see 2 possibilities...
1) Someone knows a location of a Czech ROM for the Diamond or,
2) Someone can provide me a serial number of a Diamond wich has an official Czech ROM so i can download the most recent release from the HTC site.
Please, could someone help me out with this one?
In either case, the phone is allready HSPL'ed so flashing a new ROM is not a problem.
Grz, Erwin

Czechs and their localization obsession ...
Try Erzika, many Czechs like it.

Downgrade from WM 6.5 to old WM 6.1 (original)???

Hello!
I have a huge problem. I've had some problems with the battery on my HTC TP2 and in service they changed it. The problem is that they made an update to the software to what they call it is the last version: WM 6.5 with HTC Sense. I didn't ask for this and since it was a hardware problem I don't know what happend.
I asked them if they can downgrade to WM 6.1 like it was in the original phone and they said they couldn't do that.
I was wondering if I can get any help here?! Is there a way to find the original WM 6.1 from HTC? They don't have a version for HTC TP2 on their site ... So, how could I solve this problem?
I hate WM 6.5 with Sense because it moves really SLOW! Yes, it has many interesting things but there are a lot of badly made things . This is why I want to erase it from my phone.
Regards,
Laurentiu

Yes the 6.1 stock roms are there too
cheers

Thank you!
And that is the original ROM??? From HTC? Released especially for this phone???

Well not all off them on that page!
But the ones that start with "RUU_Rhodium_HTC_" are the official ones released for the rhodium (HTC Touch Pro 2) by HTC.
You just need to pick your language or the world wide english(WWE) variant.
In my case i am from the netherlands and would have to choose: RUU_Rhodium_HTC_NLD_1.19.404.1_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe
Cheers
ps. in my signature is one of the best wm 6.1 roms i have ever stumbled upon. If you are not persistant in keeping your phone "official" HTC, i can really recommend that one. Loads of RAM very stable. Beats the stock rom in every way. But you would have to flash your htc touch pro 2 with a non official rom. (check it out at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618063)

Bear in mind that if your phone doesn't have HardSPL, you won't be able to flash most of the official ROMs (there are loads of them), you'll only be able to flash official ROMs designed for your specific model/branding of phone. e.g. I have a Vodafone UK-branded TP2, so without HardSPL, I can only flash Vodafone UK official ROMs, I can't even flash a generic HTC official ROM.
With HardSPL you can flash any ROM you like for your phone (GSM Rhodium), official or "cooked" (custom).

Since i have the "luxury" of an unbranded rhodium, i never had to think about that, but your absolutely right! Sure hope TS has an unbranded model so the choices are not too limited

hi there:
I have the HTC TP2 for Tmobile and I want to go back to wm6.1. there are two versions:
RUU_Rhodium_TMOUS_1.04.531.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.43.25.13_Signed_Test.exe
and
RUU_Rhodium_TMOUS_1.12.531.2_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.17_Signed_Test.exe
which one should I pick?
TIA
