Touch Diamond2 5358+ , T5358+ WM6.5 GPS, Gravity, ROM etc etc - General Questions and Answers

Hi everyone,
I have recently bought two (what i thought were) HTC Touch Diamond2. It turned out to be a generic chinese made 5358+ model phone, but it's still very cool and has all the cool features. One phone is now dead after a failed ROM update on it. I have extracted the RAW rom from the WORKING phone using PDOCREAD
237.38M (0xed60000) MSFlash
| 1.75M (0x1bf000) Part00
| 3.38M (0x360000) Part01
| 60.38M (0x3c60000) Part02
| 171.88M (0xabe0000) Part03
and now have the corresponding 4 RAW files to match above.
I want to write these back to the second phone, which i now have up and running using a Chinese version of a ROM for a T5353 running WM6.1, so I cant read anything, but i can get it connected via ActiveSync.
If i try and write the RAW files back using PDOCWRITE, i get a
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - The media is write protected.
error message, which Im assuming is because the phone is NOT CID unlocked.
so where to from HERE? How can i compile the RAW files into a compatible the BIN file (in this case called K3IMG.BIN)
OR
How can I supercid the phone to enable writing using 'pdocwrite'
Ive tried everything guys, really looking forward to you help.
Thanks!

Problem Solved
A lovely lassy who is an agent for the company that makes the cloned HTC Touch Diamond2 5358+ organised a rom file from the manufacturer for me - which was rather awesome!
So, if anyone is looking for en ENGLISH WM6.5 ROM for the 5358+ then please drop me an email, I'll shoot it through : [email protected]

Download link for English ROM file 5358+ WM6.5
Hey everyone,
I finally got around to uploading this to rapidshare:
so the address is
rapidshare. com / files /381413600 /5358__WM6.5_English_with_Zoom_Bar . zip
(remove the spaces)
Includes text file on how to flash (SD method)
Note: This is for the clone of the HTC Touch Diamond2 (5358+), includes GPS and G-Sensor capability.. if this isnt ur phone - download and install at ur own risk!

Hi. i did get the file and managed to install the bin file.
the phone boots with the new windows, but the screen collours are a bit funny.
they are so dark and i cannot see almost anything.
Do you have another image that i could try or a new bin file?

thanks, but i will still search for it. But if u found something for K3 processor, is better to send me a pm in the forum, or post it into the 3g touch subforum.

someone please?

Could someone tell me how to Hardspl the T5358+.
i am trying to follow the instructions from the forum on how to hardsppl the phone so i could install a new rom, but no luck.
any ideas?

This is a clone device, not a real one, there is no Hard SPL

Ok and how do install a ROM (not a bin) to the phone?

How many T5358+ is out there, I mean, here, on XDA?
Hey Bloogoo, all,
I'm trying to figure out if 5358+ compatible with 5353 and 5355 firmware.
And even if not - I would like to know what other firmware is out there for our phone. Looks like some CO2 ROMs with Android started to show-up!
I've got 5358+ couple months ago and generally happy with it. So far I did not had a single crash or lockup. Battery life is fantastic compare to any other smart phone I ever owned.
My firmware is strange, that it's 6.5, but has old Internet Explorer. IE has no finger scrolling but only scroll by side bar. Another strange thing: zoom bar only works in picture viewer. I can't find another single app that can recognize zoom bar. G-sensor is very slow, It takes about 4-5 seconds to flip the screen and no other software can see it either. Other than that it is rock solid and works great.
Originally I've ordered 5355, but received 5358+ instead. The guy who sold it insists it's the same phone. Reading bits around this forum it certainly looks like it. But somewhere I've seeing mentioning that difference is the display. My posts on main thread for "CO2" left unanswered, looks like most of "CO2" phones out there are 5353s and 5355s. Under battery compartment it looks different too. And mic is in different spot. (5358+ has it on dead center, just like original BD2).
Why don't we start with posting our ROM versions?
Mine T5358+:
ROM Version R2517.7 Eng
ROM date 1/15/2010
Radio 1.07.9235
Protocol DV3.0
CPU reported MSM7200A (actually HiSilicon)
Model No. NEXPERIA SY.SOL 5209
Cheers yall!

T5358+ CONFIRMED. It is T5355 ROM compatible.
I feel lucky last Sunday. I've tired to ask about T5358+ and start flashing with different firmware (yes, risking to brick it). Every single T5355 ROM I've tried works fine. Most T5353 works as well, but some got stuck on boot splash. None of ROMs has zoom bar working, but I don't care for it.
The one in post #5, just as binary_vortex have mentioned, works, but colors are screwed-up, probably inverted. Firmware reported as :C02.001.09 from 3/02/2010. Mine T5358+ has R2518.7 Eng from 1/15/2010. It rings the bell with some info I've read on Mobile Uncle (with Google Translate) that 5358+ come with two different screens.
There are some very nice Chinese ROMs out there with WM 6.5.x and fully functional Manila. I'm yet to find same kind with English.
I actually like 6.1 better than 6.5. It feels snappier. For example G-sensor flips the screen in a fraction of a second where on 6.5 it takes over 3-4 seconds. Don't know if 6.1 is easier on battery.
Android ROMs start popping-up for 5355, but I'm yet to figure out how to install them or find one that already packaged. If anybody know - please post here.
Above is the info I was looking for a while and I'm posting it in hopes that it can be useful to owners of T5358+ who does not know where their phone fits in CO2 lineup.
Cheers yall!

hi.
thanks for confirming my problem!
will you be able to tell us where to find the roms in bin format?
Actually, which one is the less problematic for the T5358+?

You may want to take this out of Q&A to avoid it being closed as the original Q has been answered, i would post a new thread in Upgrading and Unlocking

XDA newbie

Hi all, these PDA gadgets is all new to me so I thought I would start with something quite cheap (in case I am too thick and cannot follow)..
So I got this XDA but i can't really find any use with it.. Most webpages i come across saying that its in-compatible and also the pre-loaded MSN messenger saying that it won;t work with that version( then why on earth is that pre-installed?) also the webmessenger again is not working... nor the ICQ... So.. what exactly can i do with it??
bit fustrating really..
Sorry if my questions have been covered but doing a search and seems that everything is too techy like different ROM and things that I do not seemto understand too well..
Thanks in advance..
ms have a update of messenger which is required
to be installed because the version of messenger in the rom
is OLD
re webbrowser.
Use a new browser, ou multie or tweak2k to change broswer's 'id' so it's seen as internet explorer for compatibility.
V
hmmmm.. ok ... cheers for the info.. now the next question is.. How and what do i need to update??
which Rom can help me to browse?? Also i guess there is no way out about the messenger then.,...??
thank you
as i said ms have an update you have to run to get messenger working
if you get a newer rom it may not be necessary though
can you tell me if that update is downloadable and where??
or what is the version called?
thank you so much
it's always the last place you look

look under top download

n00b question

hey before anyone starts flaming me for no search i wanted to apologise beforehand. I did search, this is all foreign to me. I have an mda, interested in the windows mobile 6 platform but theres a few questions i had.
1 being is the processor fast enough to handle the os or is it gonna be even laggier than it is now?
and 2 is there any step by step how to guide from begining to end (with photos preferably), just taking your plain ole out of the box mda and putting windows mobile 6 on it. all this kitchen and cooking and frying, tornados and crossbow code talk doesnt make sense to me. thanks so much for reading, I dont mean to be a newbie about all this stuff, I just want someone who knows what theyre doing to tell me what its all about.
Welcome to the wonderful world of MDA flashing! Ok so you want to take your MDA and load WM6 on it. That is what we reffer to as "flashing, " so anytime you hear someone talk about flashing their device to "Core," "Pandora" or "Crossbow" they mean they are changing the operating system to that paticular "version" of WM6. They are all based off (more or less) the same WM6 ROM but just tweaked with some useful apps, and registry changes. Read about them in the XDA-Wiki page. As far as learning how to flash, there's a "sticky" (a post that remains on the first page) entitled "Howto flash a Wizard... a little tutorial!" Just follow that word for word and you should be fine. It's easy if you just follow the instructions and don't try to jump ahead. Good luck!
follow these directions.. and you should have no problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613. WM6 seems to be a big upgrade.. so i suggest it.. then take a look and see which new ROM you want.. there are many.. if you want just basics you want a Vanilla ROM, i reccomend ANTC's WM6 Professional 3.0.. or if you want fully loaded try Pandora (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310530) or Faria (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297762). give it a whirl.. and if you need help, don't hesitate to IM or PM me.

awesome thanks so much for your help guys. I have a g4 mda, and from what I know i dont have to CID unlock it. im just trying to figure all this out. I dont think its as easy as downloading the rom utility update and downloading the rom... theres a million different tutorials and I dont know which one is the most current or the best. keep the replys coming though i appreciate it.

The group does a pretty good job of updating the info as new stuff gets released. Like I said earlier, most of your basic questions will be answered in the XDA-WIKI
see my signature, that's how it should work, no need for CID unlocking
the only "issue" with an G4 is that you only can flash the OS itself.
regards
IRM
cooool, so i got it flashed after trying a million times, but i finally found a version that works, I keep getting errors here and there. last time i flashed it was giving me a checkautorun.exe error. I just flashed farias rom, and when I was doing it with shelltool my mda displayed a few errors which i just pushed ok. also after flashing, i get a dos app thats cmd.exe that i just close and right after i close that, shelltool says its done. it wont say its done UNLESS i close cmd.exe. also having big problems with the contacts. every time i push the contacts button, it never opens. any suggestions?
just got an error that said unexpected error occured in shell attempting to restart.
Are you unlocking your phone first? It might be easier for you to do if you find an unlocking utility for a g4.. or pay the 40 bucks to IMEI-check.com
nope no unlocking. no more silly errors, the only thing i cant do is open my contacts, (or sync them) it just says a device by that name already exists on this maching and i have to rename or be guest. im gonna reflash and see if it helps any. now does anyone know if when using shelltool i need to go back to the original tmo rom and do all that hooplah or can i just flash it like it is now?
I dont understand why you can't open your contacts... do this.. check 'settings' in start menu under 'system' and see if there is a application called 'softkeys' if there is then click on it and see if there is a \contacts.lnk path under the 'Contact'
i dont see contact.
nope, looked in windows folder where all the other .ink files are, and contacts.ink is not there.
it's actually not directly in the windows folder it's in 'windows\appbuttons'
Sorry, I was assuming you looked directly in the 'windows' folder..
ok found it. doing a soft reset now to see if it works...
keep me posted.
well its still doing the same thing... i push the contacts, the start button displays contacts for a second, theres an x in the corner then it just goes back to the normal screen.
hmn.. thats weird.. what happens when you go to 'contacts' from your start menu?
same. well see. I really like the wm6 os. Ive never flashed anything or messed with any phone, so this is all very new to me. I wish there was someone else that flashed a g4 without unlocking it first... grrr. heres something funny, sometimes when I restart it shows the GSM version other times its blank... I dont really care if I brick this phone, last week it was acting up and tmo is sending me a replacement. this was back before i was starting to mess with it, so i got a replacement on the way. lets hope its a g3
Mine does the same thing, sometimes it shows GSM sometimes it doesnt.. Thats pretty common. Yeah I paid to unlock mine, so I have no idea when it comes to a locked device.,

TLR Kaiser Hybrid 1.08.02.04, 6.1 VF ROM / VF Radio + HTC OEM + CF removed

As the title says, this is a WinMo 6.1 hybrid, with Vodafone ROM + Radio (both newest), OEM section from the HTC latest build and .net CF / SQL Mobile removed so that you can switch between either 2.0 or 3.5 installs at your leisure using the appropriate CAB (good for developers who are testing!)
This ROM is therefore 'in a HTC style' but with the good bits from the Vodafone ROM.
NO OTHER CHANGES!
Aside from .net changes, the contents of this ROM are completely stock.

Edit from Sleuth: you can't host ROMs on XDA Developers FTP site. M$ has sent us a notice of legal action for this. Plz use some other service then post a link here.
Edit by TLR: Look closely, it's not the XDA Developers FTP site.

Well done mate, could be great rom for the chefs to work with!

Sounds EXACTLY like what I was looking for

great work!
am using this rom now and i like it!
works fast, after tweaks and all - very very nice
tried the 3.03 one - nice and fast but couldn't handle the cannot soft reset issue
i soft reset quite often to keep memory and all clean and neat
so didn't like having to pull my stylus to do that all the time esp when i notice the stylus holder getting a little looser...
then tried the vodafone one
everything was ok - but seemed to be laggy on some programs (visible on graphics and video)
then i got onto this hybrid! and must say i am really quite happy.
used ppchanger to set to 50mb but just read a post by tom_codon that it doesn't actually change the pp and it has to be done by XIP so not sure if that madeany difference...
Working now.
Any screenshots plz? Thanx
it works great, but has a MoDaCo thing on splash screen xD.. that sucks.. well maybe a splash screen flash can fix it..
well.. in general it works fine, it looks like the HTC stock rom and it has better performance than the other 2 "official" versions.
Reccommended (Y)
(( If you know how to put the original "smart mobility" plain text splash, PM me thanx ))
Any feedbacks with this rom ? How is battery draining ?

anyone have the atnt splash screen only? thanks.
Hi
I like this ROM as well, been good so far.
One oddity which I'm not sure if was the case on the stock Vodafone ROM, is when I've imported text messages from a backup these are not sorted correctly in the threaded SMS. For example all the ones I've sent are at the end and all the ones received are at the beginning, so they are not sorted from a backup and so are not threaded correctly. When new texts arrive these are okay and show as expected. This could be a problem for those who like to keep a history of texts and need to restore from a backup.
Regards
Phil
Seems to be working great so far on my ATT Tilt. TMobile subscriber. BUT, I need to get the CF back on, so I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to do this. Also, do you do anything to the bluetooth stack that should impr0ve performance over OEM?

OK, new issue... the keyboard is not working exactly correctly with this ROM on my Tilt. The keys are remapped for the function combos (perhaps others, but have not noticed). I'll search for a solution, but if anyone can point me in the right direction...
use the tilt keyboard fix. u can find it in duttys place.

Got it! Worked great. Thanks. Now I'm readying for the .08 version of this ROM package.
Grateful for the efforts by all the posters here!

Suggestions and tutorials are welcome... after all I am still a Noob, I promise this ROM will not set your wing on fire. Credit goes to Ivanmmj for all his hard work into the kitchen! Also credit goes out to the artists who designed the pics I used for the boot, welcomehead, and wallpaper
I am still trying to figure out how to edit the default home screen with different things. Cause IE is lamzor is the favorites...but you can't edit the favorites....I guess I will have to turn into a forum troll.
Your guess is as good as mine, I manually put in that wall paper after flashing. But that would be another thing I would like to know as well hehe

Well you can flash this one to your ROM, you just have to do the Herald Keyboard Fix found on the forums somewhere here. That's the only difference between the phones.

Good lookin out on that info man. Now I know (and knowing is half the battle). I'll have a 23081 build up later on today hehe.
UPDATE: 23081 has it's ups and downs, I am still tryin to work out some bugs (SIP switching issue, and shortcut problem). Not sure if I should just go with EZinput or still work on fingerkb... the shortcuts is a whole different problem. Time is somewhat of an issue as well. Perhaps I should try beefing up 23071, I dunno at this point...
ANOTHER UPDATE: decided against throwing 23081 up coz it's not respecting my authority! but enjoy my latest creation
I really like this ROM but when it is installed I can not get online, if I use the Glass ROM or the original I get online no problem until I install this one I am probally not doing something right
From what I notice I guess some ROM's already have carrier settings plugged into them. I've got a thread over here that should help u get back online.

I'm guessing you're talking about the t-mo settings. Thanks for confirming it works... I always wanna post just good info... since I'm on AT&T it's kinda hard for me to confirm the t-mo post. If you like this one, you'll like my 23089 I should be uploading soon.
Congrats, Gonz.
One day I am going to compile my own ROM. I want to wait though and see if my ROM ideas get created by Microsoft first..
Good luck,

hey do i need to format to fat32 and flash to sd for this update??
The thing is designed to be used through the RUU, but if you want I don't see any issue with flashing through an SD card.
Make sure you're Hard_SPL, and as long as your card is a regular Micro SD and not SDHC... have at it.
I should really throw a new release out there

HTC Touch HD remove Telstra

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott
Hi, welcome to XDA! You would need to flash a chef's cooked rom (must have HardSpl 1st). Check out the Blackstone section of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
Also, read the Sticky's!
How do I determine which one of these posts is relevant to my HTC Touch HD...?
When I search for this there are a lot of listings.....can you point me to one that might be specific for my device and location
Apologies as I am new at this....
Thanks

Scott, just click the http link in my above post and then do your search
Thanks for that I can see those instructions and will attempt to follow them...
A further question should I attempt to first use the following ROM upgrade link from HTC to see if it resolves my problem. Rather then using the previous reset instructions...
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?
Thanks

Hi,
Before I work use the post above to re-install the ROM on my HTC Touch HD....could I confirm the following...
- will the re-install of this mean that I will not be able to take updates to the ROM from HTC in the future
- will this process work for me as an Australia mobile phone user ?
- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have
Thanks

- will the re-install of this mean that I will not be able to take updates to the ROM from HTC in the future
- will this process work for me as an Australia mobile phone user ?
- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have
Thanks
Scott

- You can make any update in the future, cooked ROM´s from XDA are much better than any "official" version
- It should work
- Yes
Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.
Sarah

waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?
Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.
Cheers
