So I just got my new Diamond (Hong Kong traditional chinese version), version below:
ROM: 1.37.832.4 CHT
Date: 06/23/08
Radio: 1.00.25.03
Protocol: 52.26a.25.09H
I wanted to get the most out of the little phone. What tweaks and fixes I need to do to get to everyone elses "standard" ? Such as updating, changing the language to english, some kind of ways to backup my old ROM, speed fix on the menus and navigation, tweaks on longer battery life Also tell me if there is more needed.
Can anyone tell me where to get those stuff (Or if those things exists) ? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you very much !
update to WWE rom and flash the radio, use the roll up stickies as tutorials at the top of the pages, read, search and you will find.
no one here will want to find it for you. open your eyes and take a look around. its all here.

Hey, I am new to this and I don't have the slight understanding of how these things work. That is why I'm asking for help. I wouldn't want to install the wrong things and kill my diamond (It happened before with my PSP =/).
But thank you for answering. Is updating the rom and radio all I need ?

Ouch, harssshhh.
To the original postah... Search for "Diamond Tweaks", should be a sticky in this forum. Those should help a lot for the performance of your Diamond. You CAN flash a new ROM and radio (make sure to Hard SPL first, search on how to do that!) but it's not necessary and taking a risk... Not a very big one, but devices have been turned to paperweights from flashing messups many times. To keep it basic use those Diamond Tweaks, start your device off right with Schaps Advanced Configuration tool (www.touchxperience.com) and TF3D Config, maybe Diamond Tweak (a program called that, searchsearchsearch) as well. To get a registry editor you can also go to touchxperience.com, you'll need that for most of the tweaks. Now go, go, go!
Thanks for the answers.
I have decided to flash the Rom cause I wanted to get the best out of the phone.
I come across this guide on flashing: http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26
And this for list of Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910
The problem I have now is that I don't know which Rom is the best to flash into. And whats the difference between Offical and Cooker rom (Which is better)?
Again, thanks for answering. I appreciate it.
each person have different prefrenses and use their pda's for different things
which is why there are more then one rom called superrom which everybody use
so it is kinda hard to answer the question which one is best for you
trying various is most likely the best path

Yeah there is alot of them. =/
I'll try them out.
But can you tell me if the cooker ones are better than the offical ones ?
And is this the official English Rom: RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2 ?
Thx !

...better? They are newer; look: Just like in Windows XP Microsoft also generates new builds of windows mobile. Also HTC does this with his own applications. The cookers always takes the newest builtds and gave us the great roms!
ok?
Just look at it like this, cooked roms are customized by people on here that want better performance, the official roms are what HTC puts out to try and make it work for everyone. If you find a cooked rom that works for your needs, it's likely to be better because it doesn't include all of the stuff that doesn't interest you. Better yet, you could cook your own rom if you really want to, look for a tutorial on it. Not incredibly difficult, just takes some time to learn. (This is my perception of it, I've never cooked a rom myself but it doesn't seem so impossible)
Thank you guys, I chose the SwiftBL for the Rom since it have just what I need and much more.
But I have another question about the Radio Rom. I have the Radio version 1.00.25.03 and I wanted to ask do I need to update/change it ? If it's not necessary, can I skip this step and just update my Rom and not the Radio ?
Thx !

read!?! nobody told me i was suppose to read before trying to flash my phone for the first time?!! jk
yeah, just look around at the different tutorial on here, and it should help you to better understand it. I just got my diamond last week, and i can't believe how much i can change on this phone compared to my old S60 v3 phone...
I wouldn't change the radio unless you have issues with reception... But that's me, I'm very conservative compared to most on here when it comes to flashing/changing major aspects of the phone.
I have completed the flashing the Rom and Radio on my Diamond and thank god it didn't brick.
Everything is done now so thank you guys very much for everything.

I do care about Performance and Have a clean ROM...Please Post your feedback on Tested ROMs Specially Cooked ROMs(Molski..etc).
I'd like to know an answer to that question as well.
I'm running: ROM: 2.21.2.8 GER
ExtROM: 2.21.2.110
I'm decided to cook the rom but I don't not with which rom to replace it. So yes my Question is again what is the best rom and a link would be much appreciated.
Which fruit (cooked or straight off the tree)is best ?
Not to be a smart @$$, but really it all depends on exactly what you want out of the device and are going to be doing with the device.
Well I'll be doing anything I can do with it. That means use it as a gps device, be connected to wlan for the most of the time, edit documents use the calendar and so forth. I think the only thing I won't be needing is the camera.
I'd like a ROM that is really costumazible. So I could cvhange anything I won't and that the ROM is fairly quick hopefully quick enoughto run skype on it....

What Rom you choose is a personal issue, there is no thing like "the best rom", one preffers Mr. Clean Rom, others like the T-Mobile Roms and others like Roms that made by Faria, Risidoro or me...
You just have to install a few Roms, test them out and keep the one that suits the most for you...
Molski
Check this "risidoro" 2 26 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276700
Do I need to cook this rom to use it on my device or is it ok if I just run the setup? As it look's like the G4 rom doesn't include the IPL and SPL files.
I think this thred really should be 2 threads
until someting is sorted we have 2 different machines
G3 and G4
OR let this thread stay ande and we could start a " What is the best G4 locked Phone Rom?"

Hello baby and thanks to all,
this post is for the most experts I think.
I have done a bad upgrade/downgrade to my blue angel vodafone v1620 so,
before I have got an PH20B2 and now I have only a PH20B.
This is terrible!
I can't do anything now, no upgrade, no downgrade and, my radio doesen't work because the radio rom I can't install on it.
So I have only a win mob 2003 WWE without radio.
I have read all from this forum and wiki and I have tried a lot of file but I can't solve this problem without your precios SoS.
Someone could help me?
Sorry for my english.
Heard you AsAp!
GoodBye Bb
upgrade the radio with noid app
i have a similar problem, before upgrading i had a ph20a2 and now have ph20a1... flashing with noid doesn't change it back... any suggestions?
thanks xplode,
but if you mean mauppage/bauppage noid.exe
I've tried without success
thanks
i mean MAUpgradeUT_NOID.exe, and leave radio rom only in that folder, and the radio rom should be for your device only, this mess happens when you upgrade to a rom version which is not for your device
yes
I try now, can u tell me where I can found the radio rom for my device only?
thanks
Read The Damn Wiki Already!

OK i know you are new.. and maybe, just maybe a bit nervous because you have a device you cant use..
READ THE DAMN WIKI ALREADY!
There are so many ways to upgrade a rom, or extract it,
Let me give you a little hint.. Use that really bright shiny search button up there.. (ok so its not bright and shiny, but it is there!)
Press the down arrow, choose advanced search,
then type in MaUpgradeUt_noID,
then make sure that the forum is BlueAngel (on the right!)
then hit search...
That will bring all the posts with the words MaUpgradeUt_noID in the BlueAngle section of the forum.
There will be on that explains how to extract the radio for a released update..
and how to install it using MaUpgradeUt_noID instead of the other installers.
Multiple posting is stoopid.. This is the 3rd post i have seen from you regarding your device that you could have solved using your own head, and searching for the answer istead of sitting on your backside waiting for someone to post the link to solve all your problems.
I know this sounds harsh, and scarcastic, and a tad evil... EVERYTHING I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT A HTC DEVICE, I HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS SITE,
and reading the wiki, and google, and all kinds of other services...
there is no shame in asking for help.. just exhaust all other options first!
And Spam posting is really really lame!
vodafone v1620
contact me for problem on vodafone v1620
I have a lot of experience on this device now

didn't solve the problem, after flashing only with radio oryginal setup still say wrong device
Okay I wanted to Apologize to everyone, It took some time to get my device flashed to WM6 and it’s know where I wanted. The only difference I did is not allowing the extrom to customize with HR.
No need to put any guide out if you read the forums you will get wm6 working.
Thanks.
Window Mobile6(thx 2 Vlodeck & Nocturne)
Rom version: 10.2.0.8 WWE
Rom date: 2/03/07
Radio version:02.19.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09
Your charmer is just the same as with mine.
I think it is just setup problem why you can not connect to GPRS.
I have flashed a TouchFlo version WM6 to my charmer (WWE version), it works well.
that you cannot flash wm6 does not mean others can't, so please stop shouting "wm6 does not work".
many people are using it - and many people are satisfied with it - imho this is proving that WM6 works. most of this people ha CIDs locked devices - and they have no problems. I don't khow why you have yor problems, but you have just few possibilities:
1) you are lazy to read forums and finding solutions, or
2) you do not understand what are you reading about or
3) you are using some really old radio and this may be the negative effect, or
4) your charmer is somehow damaged machine, bad memmory blocks or stuff like that
Remember, that charmer is just one, there are no variants, no different generations. All your problems are pointing to something, that must be completely different from others. Focus on radio at first...you have the old one (the same I have - mine works fine)
Another thing that may affect the gameplay is your computer - try to flash from another one. There are no more possibilities.

Unlock your phone and you will never brick it. If you are rather buying new machine than finding solutions, get rid of WM devices, buy Nokia and leave us alone.

mentioned 1000 times in this forum...I cannot believe that somebody can still ask this...
The purpose of my thread was not to attack anyone. I think the information and effort here is very good and all the people like yourself and others developers are doing an outstanding job!
When you try and try and fail, I know it’s frustrating and some of us continue to try. I know I’m not done trying; I still want to be able to have my Charmer to operate under WM6.
I want to make it clear to everyone; I did take my time to read all the forums.
(PLEAES READ FORUMS PPL)
I’m not saying don’t try upgrading, (PLEASE DO TRY!) and don’t give up, take a break to clear your head and find other means to your goal.
All I’m giving is a caution. I flashed my device with out taking my time to go thru the step’s and it crashed. Lucky the T-mobile Company replaced it because my contract is not up!!!!
And lasting thing before I go, I’m not attacking anyone this is General for all!!! I thought forums were for discussions purpose and to help each other find solutions. So when I put information out here, it’s to see if anyone had same issues and maybe give me a some idea to resolve.

Touchflo version sounds good. Where, where, where!!!!!
People, please do not get so excited about that touchFLO. Firstly, it doesnt work as it should. You have to press softkey to launch it first. Secondly its slow and inconvenient.
And thirdly, happy to hear that Ulymanchild finally got the wm6 issue sorted out

Sorry, these two days I did not come to here.
Here is the URL of TouchFlo version of WM6 (Charmer), but it is in Chinese. (Fantastic B4, with Touch FLO for 818+).
You should register first.
http://www.it1861.net/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=5480&page=1&fromuid=2244#pid36089
PS1: This rom is not created by me! I just quote it~
PS2: If you can not download it or do not want to register, just tell me a place I can upload it.
PS3: My charmer: 3.08.0001/3.08.0001
Thanks.

Yes, I agree with you strongly. I don not think using TouchFLO is a good way to operate my charmer. I flashed it and tried it, but I will not use it again but show it to others.
Vlodeck, I wanted to thank you for those kinds words also, I wanted to put out that it was allot easier for me to bootload essential v.002 by extracting the nk.nbf and placed it on 000.4. I think the trick was nb2nbf_wizard.
Oh and I was able to cid unlock with Lokiwiz03 after I flashed to wm6 YOU GUY’s ARE THE BEST!
I'm sure this was posted many times before - I'm ready to wipe my wing.. i know i know, RTFM - I'm an engineer ... I'm looking for a shortcut to the most appropriate ROM for my wing needs.. Please advise, many friggen posts to choose from... Need standard apps, exchange email a must - also need office apps.. any suggestions ? So sick of running outta mem!!!! any suggestions are appreciated.... can I keep outlook with any custom Roms?
"so give me, just a little light" band/song????...
-Oldie
my guess is: any rom will do, just pick one of the newer fully loaded ones, they come packed with office standard (or better) apps and with all roms exchange mail should work. i believe the latest is open touch 6.5 biggy (i use aserg 12, but it is for herald, so you'd need a keyboard fix)
Yes to all your questions. Roms support full functionality of the phone.
I reccommend either ASERG Rom or ITJE Roms.

That bring another question, what is ITJE's newest (most updated) rom? I found a thread that has all his old rom and it said not support anymore.
just use the one with the highest build number; they are generally the newest.
in this case, this is the one (i think)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407646
ITJE bought himself a Kaiser .. so he's been a little busy in that forum .. as well as having a "real life" ...
Aserg disappeared too ... but his v12 rom is fast, stable and bull**** free... and I've been using it for over a very long time now.

If you your unsure about flashing a new rom I found when I first got my wing that changing the page pool size and getting battery status helped a lot. Its very easy to do and you still have the standard Tmo rom. If you want to flash a rom I would go with ttran's OT 5 original. Its basically the stock rom but made a lot better. Hope this helps.
Hi, I just now got my fist HTC Diamond 2(topaz). It is my first windows mobile phone and I was really excited about upgrading to 6.5, but it is not coming out any soon . However I am little confused how to do that. So can you tell which rom should I use for my HTC topaz. Please step by step... thx... Would prefer most stable Rom,
Is there also dictionary somewhere.. I don't know what all these words me... cooked...radio.. and so on..
(I googled but roms come out very fast.... and couldn't find any good tutorials..)

....first install HardSLP!
....second:
Radio Rom: resposible for gsm signal, wifi...
...third:
Cooked Roms:
Our Chiefs are always cooking roms with the newest applications and share them to us.
In the benchmark you can see which rom is the fastest. But I woud suggest you just try them out!
Are you 100 % sure that as a newbie you really need to flash new rom first? Why not to get to know your device a bit before making any changes?
