Hi
I have just received by new SPV M700 (Trinity), and am thinking about updating the ROM to the latest Dopod release. Before I do this, I have a few questions that I am hoping someone will be able to answer.
1. What are the main benefits of updating the ROM?
2. Will it invalidate my warranty/Orange Care? and if so, how will they ever know?
3. What does teh Orange ROM have that the Dopod doesn't (other than settings, homescreen)?
4. Other than MMS/data settings is there anything else that I will need to transfer?
5. Is it possible to reinstall the original Orange ROM if I wanted?
6. Will I be able to install future official Orange ROMS when they are released?
7. Is there a guide to installing the ROM, and how easy is it to do?
Sorry if these questions have been answered before but I was struggling to find answers.
Thanks for your help.

The simplest way is to upgrade to the official SPV M700 Orange GPS one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294431
I think I already have the latest Orange ROM as only got my phone yesterday. My main reason for updating was to get Phonepad which I believe is included in the Dopod ROM.
Are you able to answer my other questions?
Thanks

I do not think so.
The ROM was available on the 17th for download. I do not think that it was already installed on the shop phone already.
Just check which version of ROM you have. The one in the download is:
1.23 (with GPS activated) instead of the actual 1.17 (without GPS)
You can find more details about the ROM here (in French):
http://www.ppccool.com/index.php?showtopic=5907&st=0#entry45953
Concerning the other questions, I prefer that another guy answer, as I did not test by my self yet.
I have ROM version 1.23.61.5, which is what was on the phone when I got it.

Maybe your fone is repacked...
Cause for that i know orange doesnt confirm anything about selling gps enable phone's....
How knows....
There was even a leaflet in the box telling me to download Orange satnav.... which wouldnt have been much use if GPS was disabled!

Why would you want to change your ROM? Apparently you already have the latest that is available...Your GPS works, so there is nothing to do.
I would really like phonepad, which I beleieve is included in the Dopod ROM (please correct me if I'm wrong)
I want phonepad too.
Got the same ROM as you.
I have been extensively reading the threads and cannot seem to find the answer. I apologize for my noviceness. I went to the HTC site and it gave me this ROM to update on my phone. I use the phone in the US:
1. Will this ROM change my US settings?
2. Has anyone up upgraded to this and is the performance better?
Thanks for your help.
surely this rom is better
all your data will be erased.
but when you make the download, you'l have to choose the country and operator and local settings will be fine. The roms are different between different countries
yup i upgraded to that specific rom. The language is still english. Everything on YOUR DEVICE (not internal storage) is gone. The speed of TF3D is much faster as HTC has removed many of the animations. The phone will also get better reception and become quadband thanks to the new radio.
Thank you, do you use T-Mobile Use.

Discuss about the HTC touch diamond P3490 released for India.
-Its a 2G version No Video calling/secondary camera and HSDPA
-Released with a new high capacity battery
-Still SIM locked to Airtel
-Comes with a lifetime GPS service from Satnav for an amount of INR.300
I tried a google search on xda-developers, however, couldnt find much of details about this phone. Could we make this a discussion area for Diamond users in India?
PS: MODS, am not sure about the location about this post. Please advice before closing/locking this thread.
I took this mobile from Bangalore and the sales person told me that it is not SIM locked. However, when the phone was switched on, AIRTEL logo came on, and found that it is SIM locked. I managed to get my Vodafone SIM to run on this cell.. But when i tried to use the Vodafone live!, it never connected.
I saw a post in this forum about installing a cab file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400939&highlight=vodafone
Tried installing it, but it didn't connect. a Google search provided me with some config settings. which worked absolutely fine for me.
Herez the config:
select "start" ---->>> select "settings" ------->> select "connection"----->>> select "connections"
Now Select "Add a new modem connection"
Connection name::"Give any name"
Moden:: select "Cellular line (gprs)"
Select "Next"
Access point name:: "portalnmms"
select "Next"
Username:: (blank)
Password:: (blank)
Domain:: (blank)
Select "Finish"
Now Select "Setup/Edit my proxy server" below that "Add a new modem connection"
Select the two check boxes
1.) This network connects to the internet
2.) This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet
Now you ll have proxy server box below that you will have "advanced"
Select "advanced"
Select "HTTP" --->> Server:: "10.10.1.100" port:: "9401" select "ok"
Select "Wap" ---->> Server:: "10.10.1.100" port:: "9201" select "ok"
Give ok to all options.
Now select "start" select "internet explorer" and try it for the connection...
When internet is connecting it ll show "Connecting to GPRS"
You ll be getting "locating" and "opening" and the webpage
.... and one more thing.... (am editing this after 3 days, after i experienced this issue)
You may connect your diamond to the PC via ActiveSync, try to download the QuickGPS data, it might say "Cant connect".
- All you need to do is to open Internet explorer, browse to htc website, close Internet explorer, and then try to update quickgps. It should work.

Did u find any ROM upgrades (Unofficial) for the indian version? I heard that upgrading with a generic English ROM would disable the radio.
ROM Update
1. follow the link for the latest official ROM Update
ROM version: 1.93.720.4
Radio version: 1.13.25.24
http://www.htc.com/in/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=535

Hi Guys,
Even I have the Indian version of Diamond. It was airtel locked with the airtel splash screen coming up everytime you boot. But changed the rom to NLMs rom of 6.5 and the airtel screen is gone.
-Comes with a lifetime GPS service from Satnav for an amount of INR.300

Hi Kailash, i think this is an offer which they started with the new release of touch diamond (newer one comes in cube shaped packaging, older one had that diamond package).
See the attached image, which i took from my box. Its says "For HTC JAINA customers", and Jaina seems to be a marketing team for who imports/distributes electronic gadgets in India.
nd, the spalsh screen is just a 480x640 gif image in the windows folder. A registry edit would take care of it.

Thnx for the info... is there any cooked ROMs available for Indian diamond version. Indian radio is different from the US/europe ones, coz most of them are 3G enabled, so i heard that if you use one of those customized roms, radio would stop working, meaning you wont be able to make GSM calls too..
did you try any 3rd part ROMs. please let me know.. thnx

That's a nice try . hopefully ur friend is not reading this post. BTW, it seems like if you change your default SPL and install HARDSPL, your fone wouldnt get bricked, even if its a bad flash (Please read about HARDSPL before you try it... cant stand to see diamonds getting bricked )

Try catching up someone in Jaina and ask them whether u can avail this offer, if u present the bill (they are into marketing.. so, u can try ur luck). u can get the phone numbers from their website. (am not trying to be funny, it might not work, but whatif ur time is good, and u get some nice offer!!!)
yeah, once your do a SIM unlock, then there is no need to change any settings manually for GSM network. but i had a tough time connecting to the EDGE (Vodafone Live!).
The manage settings shows "Cellular line(GPRS, 3G)", yeah. i think these menus are generic templates from windows mobile.
BTW, did u had that AIRTEL logo coming while u switched on the phone???

Folks,
Can you help me fix my HTC Touch Diamond? I bought this in June 2009, barely 2.5 months back, in Pune, India, and it has many problems already. To name a few, bluetooth hardware is not working, FM Radio is not working, QuickGPS not working (got SATNAV installed). I have tried calling up the HTC Care folks, but all in vain. Either the line is busy or no one answers the call. Even personally visiting the office did not help as the care center was closed most of the times last month (whether morning/day/evening).
I do not know how to flash or perform a ROM Upgrade. Just too confusing. I am in Pune, and if anyone wants to help, please reply here as well as on anil underscore gh at hot mail dot com. Will be really glad if you folks can help. For reference, here is the device information:
ROM version: 1.93.720.2 WWE
ROM date: 08/07/08
Radio version: 1.00.25.07
Protocol version: 52.29.25.12G
Help me keep my phone alive.
Thanks for all the help you provide.
Cheers,
-Anil
I'm a hero200 user in China. And I choose Google Input method.
Today, i have tried many ROMs, including flipz's, damange control's and other guys' new ROMs, and got the same disppointed results:
None of those ROM can support Chinese SMS very well
Whenever i send a Chinese SMS, the receiver will get a totally blank SMS. Not a word could show on screen. Bu i still get a sucessfully-sent notification from China Telecom, the only one CDMA-2000 provider in China.
My friends have the same problem. We are all confused. since in our opinion, 2.1 should support Chinese sms WELL.
Could someone advise the reason for blank SMS?
Looking forwards to your response !!! Many Thanks.
can anyone give me a hand?
waiting on line^^
I'm a hero200 user in China,too.
I have the same problem just like you.
I have tried these ROMs:fresh2.0d,DamageControlv2.05.
None of those ROM can support Chinese SMS very well
Base on 2.1 should support Chinese sms WELL,I think
So I have reason for believe something is a bug
Somebody here?
Should i returned to original 2.0 roms?
Feel so struggled
i'm not chinese, so i haven't tested this, but you could try flashing this zip over whatever rom youre running
Thanks
I will try it！！！
Darchstar, i failed ^^

i have got the same problem, but flipz's fresh 2.0a is working very well with UTF-8 or Chinese SMS.
What a pity if the coming official 2.1 rom from Sprint will not work just as damageless's rom.
Darchstar, u got the reason?
We heard that 2.1 should support Chinese.
Then why this situation happened? Could u tell me reasons?
here's Chinese input method-sogou
Could someone test it and find us the reason?
someone reminds me of the service provider^^
We noticed, Roms based on eris official ROM support Chinese SMS very well but those based on hero200 official ROM failed.
Does that mean Sprint did some changes and removed Chinese SMS supporing?
anyone can help us?
sigh………………
We are suffering from this bug now^^
Can anyone could help us to fix it?

hero of the Hong Kong and Taiwan version, so do not worry htc does not release the kernel without the support of the Chinese rom
I am now using their localization of 2.0c, Chinese SMS support good
Use google translation, do not know to understand it is not

Im using the same ROM. But it dosen't include the option" share the interet" when connecting to a computer. I do need it. So i am looking for updated ROMs.
Since everybody said Flipz 2.0d is so closed to Sprint Official ROM, I am so worried accordingly^^
about the flipz rom 2.0d
yeah, you should notice when first boot in flipz 2.0d ,there is no location seletcted in step one, it has selected English by default, but in flipz 2.0c it is different . There is the same situation in the DC V2.05.
You can compare the zip files between flipz 2.0c and flipz 2.0d(or DC V2.05 ),
I think the problem is caused by the file of framework-res.apk (\system\framework\framework-res.apk). Maybe.
This file in flipz 2.0d and DC V2.05 is different from it in flipz 2.0c which has no problem in Chinese SMS.
My English is poor! sorry.
Then should i just replace this file with the one from older ROMs.
Dose it work?
I have no idea yet, maybe it's not too simple by only changing this file.
Right so here is my issue... I recently flashed the Google Edition ROM for the htc one which i got from this site. Everything works fine, the only issue i have is upon booting the ROM for the first time, when i first used the keyboard (to enter my WiFi password on the set-up screen) i got the message Google keyboard has stopped working. The keyboard actually works fine though, my issue is that im stuck with the Google Hindi input method, there is no English input or English dictionary so it doesn't auto correct words for me either. Can anyone help me? I just want the stock android keyboard like the Google play edition should come with.

I read that the keyboard crashes if you are non US but how do i solve it? Is it because the Play Edition is US only and i need to change my phone to become a US model number or something along those lines?
