hi guys
i read many times the docs.
i think i should need to flash my diamond (awful movistar 7 spain theme).
first, the phone:
1.93.621.2
1.00.25.05
52.29.25.12W
MODEL ID: DIAM300 (I READ THAT MOST OF THE DOCS WERE FOR THE DIAM100 SO I HAVE DOUBTS HERE)
and the SPL is the 1.93.0000 ... so ...here are my doubts:
should I hardSPL to the 1.93 provided in the forum in order to get one of the ROMS available?
I m not sure... will I notice any difference, and MORE OVER: may I notice improvements or "deprovements"
Then, another one: for the diamond, I went to the HTC site and tried (I had to!) their last update, entering my phone serial number: no chance, as expected, it is not supported/available.
So I should try to flash the ROM.
But i m a bit scary, i haven t found any changelogs and no one speaks of the last ROM version (2.x).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415192 What is Dutty? is it a cooked ROM? is there a risk here?
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418320 for the VIC diamond based on the HTC official release (16/1/2009)
http://www.hnkweb.com/2009/01/26/optimizar-la-htc-diamond/ > they mention the DRK 3.4 but again, no changelogs, I have no idea...
I wish I could know if the theme is the original HTC black-based one and if the icons can be easily changed, also if the menu bar has sliding effects. (just examples).
So my questions, are, if you allow them:
- having SPL 1.93.0000 by default, should I flash it by a 1.93 by olinex?
(i read the 1.40 olinex was signed and secure, but I can t find it anymore- now i m not sure whether 1.40 is older than 1.93, as sometimes version numbers are not significant).
I know it is highly recommended to flash hardSPL before doing anything. "It is highly recommended to install hacked bootloader Hard-SPL before attempting any ROM upgrade." seen here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_Upgrades
- if 1.93 is by olinex, is it signed or unsigned? will i risk to decrease global performances of the Diamond if I install it?
as for the ROMS:
i haven t found the last ones.
I d like an "official one", (as opposed to a cooked one), really close to the 16/1/2009 release from HTC. ideally a shipped full ROM version.
I don t mind it is not in spanish. Actually, I do prefer in English or French.
Where can I get a list of updated (2.x) full shipped ROM versions based on the HTC update of 16/1/2009?

this is either not full shipped, either an unknown version for me...
i m a bit lost.
i read here http://www.hnkweb.com/2009/01/26/optimizar-la-htc-diamond/ A fecha actual os voy a recomendar una: la DRK 3.4. Es una ROM basada en la versión oficial 2.03.412.1, liberada el 16/01/2009. but did not find the DRK in the cookded versions list... and it needs an unsigned hardSPL. HELPPPPPP
another one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1051363&postcount=185 it says if the device is CIDLOCKED. my phone company (movistar) is not listed here... Is my phone CID locked? I think so. But in practice, what is the problem for me?
Many thanks for your patience and great job done here.
EDIT:
"DIAM300 Users: We need someone to test these ROMs, so any guinea pigs please test but first backup current ROM."
I used sprite backup to backup the ROM? was it the ROM? (I think so, but i have doubts) it was a pkb file if not wrong, now a sprite extract mobile .exe)
I also read this

Hi all ,
As you can guess another newbie :lol: , spent quite a while browsing through this forum and have found some interesting stuff .
I have just purchased the above on T-Mobile and i'm looking to mod away but i would like to start from a fresh non branded WM2003 SE .
This is what i have found on my phone
ROM Version 1.12.00 WWE
ROM Date 05/28/05
Radio Version 1.12.00
EXT ROM Version 1.12.152 WWE
Is this the latest ROM if not could anyone advise on the latest .
cheers
Mark
Same here
I have applied BigStorage, but this is the same ROM I am using from TMobile.
I haven't had any problems with it, seems quite stable. Unless you need something fixed I'd leave it.
If either of you has a backup copy of the original rom can you please make it available as the one on the FTP appears to be corrupt.
May I ask what is the best/newst ROM to use on a QTEK S200? Its hard to find out here what is new, newer or older...

Yes, that's what I'm wondering too, can someone please tell us what's the best english rom out for this phone?
I guess we all are on same boat, trying to find the best available ROM for prophet after WWE offcial ROM as its been quite a while for offcial ROM upgrade for this device.
Check the FTP
There are several cooked ROMS avail. There are several 2.3 versions, and the 3.2 Beta is also out. Do a search. As for which is the best, it depends entirely on you. What I do is READ & READ, until I get an overall sense which is the fastest, most stable etc. In the end, what many people say is best for them, may not be good for you.
But like you, I've been usin the Dopod official ROM since May, and feel it's time to inject new life into my device.
If anyone care to give a short review of the ROMs they've tried in this thread (or make a new one), it'll definitely help a lot of people...
If you love aku2.0 customized rom in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269313, I bet you like this AKU2.3 customized rom.

Software listed pictures check at http://www.pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=60019
It's AKU2.3 with extended rom as same as v.1.02, fast and stable.

You may choose 8mb or 12mb (less problem from users feed back).
16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe
I am using 4PDA/Frog's 2.3 ROM from the FTP site. Its fast and stable. The problem I had with the PDAMobiz rom was its full of stuff and made to device slow, also it reset sometimes on its own. Also the backlight would come on for no reason.
I have tryed all the ROM's from the FTP site and this is the best IMHO.

hello,
is it possible to update an G4 Device by copy the nk.nbf file from the above package to a "G4 Rom" and replace the existing nk.nbf?
For example in the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID Rom?

If you do not really know about it, don't try. Because it might be a possibility to break you prophet, if that nk.nbf has spl 2.xx.0000 inside.
Use itsme pdocwrite to upgrade to G4 by replacing ru.nb with your new os rom. (you have to use command "typho5.exe -x -v nk.nbf" at dos prompt to extract os-rom, check at ftp for typho5.exe tools)
Upgrade utility is in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277474 (look for upgrade for G4)
someone could make about the Roms a sticky thread here. Which is aswell updated

Best ROM for Prophet (M600?)
well I can't really answer that can I but I can report the following.
I started off with the Orange oem ROM. Quickly I decided I wanted to get rid of this as I'm not with Orange (and I'm an incessant tinkerer), so I went for the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.
My phone was unlocked using the IMEI-CHECK service (so not sure what they unlocked exactly but it seems happy for me to re-flash it).
I ran with this ROM for maybe 2 months- no real problems BUT I really missed the voice speed dial.
A couple of days back I went for the 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe
This seems to be stable so far, a "bit" more responsive maybe, but with the unexpected bonus of having voice speed dial again!!! Yes, this ROM has voice speed dial - hoorah.
So for any of you old Orange M600 users who upgraded but lost the voice speed dial this could be for you.
I've not spotted any major problems at all. The only odd thing was that the COMM Manager hard key was not bound. A 2 sec job to fix that.
Now I did do a soft reset before letting the hard reset process finish with the customisations. No idea what happens there in this case.
I <believe> my phone is G3?? The IPL is 0000 - is that correct?? I read and checked everything I could and it seems to have turned out OK.......
Is there any way that someone could do up a quick, idiot proof tute on how to update your rom on a G4 device?
Also, is this AKU2.3 rom 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe in russian or english? The website link which shows the AKU2.0 version is all in russian...
Thanks guys (from another n00b)
Hi guys, I am a new on ths forum and with te prophet. After using a hima for 3 years, I bought a prophet today. Since I was at wm2005 aku 3.5 with my hima, I cannot use my pim.vol any more with my current rom version, which is
Rom version 2.9.7.24 WWE
Rom date 2/9/2006
Radio 02.07.20
Protocol 413.1.03
Extrom 2.9.7.106
This is all new for me and I am hoping that someone could post me or PM me some advice on newer roms and how to upgrade. I also found a version with G3 or G4. What is the difference and what do I need to use.
This device works different, but it look very nice.
Can I re-use some of my old (hima) applications on this machine?
Thanks very much in advance. I hope to have as much pleasure on this forum as I had on the hima forum!
1. you can get some of the old apps working on wm5 devices, but not all of them.
2. check your device for G3-G4 issue here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=prophet_g3g4_how
3. good thing if you have time to read this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Prophet
it will answer most of your questions on how to upgrade your ROM. read it three or four times: i'm not kidding - you may ruin your device if you miss something.
If I can hijack this thread for a second... is there any way to backup whatever ROM we have on a CID locked device? cause it seems kinda pointless to have to CID unlock the device (which involves FLASHING a completely new rom, overwriting the old), to open the backup feature at which point is useless since we've lost the original rom.

why not? just download your original ROM from this site or official site of qtek, jamin or whatever your device is.
afaik you CID unlock the device to be able to flash different ROMs (for example, to flash jamin with qtek ROM) and to be able to return back to your original ROM.
I am noob in windows mobile I have just switched from nokia n73 to HTC S710. Some people think it was not a good idea but anyhow. 4 days back I tried to upgrade my cousins gene but after applying HSPL it was dead. I asked a lot of people in gene subform how recover, in the end a Rom chef told me if I had bought phone this year then there is no solution to it. So finally I had to take it to HTC service centre and they have asked me to check after 5 days.
Now I have bought Vox myself so learning from past experience I am asking you guys first. I have read wikki though.
1) Which is the fastest but most stable rom? (Which does not have bugs)
NEO ROM for Vox v0.9 [New XIP 20202]
Windows Mobile 6.1 v1.1
Or Hikey's Rom tell me the version.
or someother.
2) From my information given Which USPL should I use 1.16 or 1.34 or 1.35 and also can I use them or will they brick my phone?
My Device Info
Boot Loader
Vox
ONBL 1.34.0000 wifi
LG
Vox
SPL 1.34.0000
Vox IU
CPLD - 04
OS From about
Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4)
Radio Version 4.1.13.54_03_.10.90
RIL Version 2.002
Any help will be appreciated.

Tipu
First you should decide whether you want WinMo 6.0 or 6.1. As far as I heard the ROMs with the new XIPs are faster. I would say the Neo ROMs are the fastest 6.0 ROMs. For 6.1 there isn't such a huge difference But my experience is that the 96 dpi ROMs are pretty fast, but they are by far not bug free. Otherwise you have to decide what software you need. Gonzo's ROM has everything in it, my Lite ROM is pretty much the same, just without some apps.
In the Wiki is a list of hopefully most ROMs.
For USPL the 1.16 is definately working, as it did for over a year now. I don't know if the newer ones have any advantages or not. If you go to the wiki and follow the guides carefully you should not brick your phone. Link is in my signature.
My SPL is 1.34.000 as I have seen from my bootloader information. So can I use 1.16.
Is Neo Rom .9 bug free, have you tried it also I have read few threads people saying Hikey's WM6.1 roms are stable but does not have his thread here. From my information given is stock rom for my current os available somewhere.
It is on the XDA-dev ftp. There are a couple of shipped ROMs.

Well not all speak chinese I am on WM 6.1 v1.0 by LeFab47 alias fireburned with new xip 20202. So far it is the best for me. I hope he gives a version without thirdpart applications.
Hello.I bought a vodafone v1640 (1 hour ago.....so i am new ) italian.The gui who sod it said i can't put the wm6 on it but after all i read here it is possible.
It is written : rom version 1.30.106 ita,radio version 1.14.10, ext rom version 1.30.260 ita. I wish to put wm6 English version can you recommend me something and give me some instruction please?
Thanks in advance.
I also have a v1640, otherwise known as a Universal.
You certainly can load WM6 onto it, just not an official copy as that doesn't exist, but as there's no warranty to worry about so what.
Unforunantly many of those providing WM6 ROM's have moved onto newer toys..
At the moment your best bet is Tomal 8.2 (WM6.1) with a newer version being tested.
The most important thing is to read and learn before you do anything, but you've already got this far so you're halfway there.
Read the Wiki, make sure your 1640 is unlocked (supercid) and follow the instructions to upload the latest ROM. WM6 is so much better the WM5.
Happy tapping.
