Vodafone ROM an a "normal" Diamond? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello,
i have a normal HTC Diamond from amazon.
Yesterday i saw a new image from Vodafone for the htc diamond.
My question is, can i run the vodafone image on my non-vodafone-htc diamond?

I've got often problems with the current image. My Diamond looses frequently my gsm connection, hangs up and other problems with gps.
I think, that a new image, like the vodafone ones, fixing my problems.
Does the image works on my diamond?

yes it should but you could settle with just flashing the radiostack which is what control the gsm part the normal rom part is just wm os ting all reception differences is pure radiostack not rom

How to fix Radio (3G) not working (voice calls, data)

My original HTC (Radio 1.27.12.11) never was able to recieve or create voice calls via 3G nor do any data transfer. Only GSM mode was working, but then for what reason I was going for the Kaiser ?.
Thanks to Pof's work on the HardSPL tool and Dark Simpsons "htc rom tool" and all others contributed to this tools, using the posted french ROM with Radio 1.27.12.17 and the rest from the original HTC rom I compiled a new ROM image.
With this Radio rom I just confirmed that 3G is now working using voice and data. All former 3G problems are gone.
Steps:
- Downloaded original HTC rom and French rom
- Using "NBHextract.exe" to extract the rom components.
- Using the "00_unkonwn.nb" from the french and the rest from the original HTC rom and compile using "htc rom tool" a new rom.
- Now using HARD SPL to install new boot loader and then just transfer the new rom using the original HTC upgrade package with the new rom instead the original one.
Regards
can you post your rom ?

rom location
Just replace the rom in the HTC_WWE rom-installer with this one. Worked for me without any problems with Kaiser got from UK, but no warrenty
http://rapidshare.com/files/61052345/RUU_signed_WWE_1.56.405.5_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.17.zip
Update: After 24h using 1.27.12.17, problems just partly vanished
Looks like it was a bit too optimistic. Here are the results of 24h usage:
-3G voice and data are sometimes working. With the 1.27.12.11 it never worked with 1.27.12.17 it work for some calls / times and then 3G still looks like logged into the 3G-Network, but phone is unreachable. The phone needs to be switched off/on again to get it working. Then one call / data connection / incoming call is possible. After that darkness again. At least one 3G action is possible in comparion to earlier radio rom, but it is still far away from perfect.
It is an improvement but HTC has still to do a better job with the radio rom. Hope we will get an update soon behind 1.27.12.17

thanks, I'll give it a try in a few days.... as to warrenty - HTC appears not to honor warrenties, HTC US said "not our problem", HTC UK has not answered in over a week....
If yo can live with french try the french rom
... now I run for 24h with the french rom, no customization.
It is better then the HTC with the replaced Radio, posted above. I can call 3G, do data connections and receive incoming calls. It seems after 24h pretty stable. Therefore it looks like changing the radio is not enough and that as the french rom using a slightly newer OS then HTC original, there are some changes too included.
- Problem: Roaming between GSM and 3G, somtimes the phone needs 5 or more minutes to login into the network again after areas with no coverage. Completly different to the Nokia N95, which can handle such issues with no problem @ all
- About HTC service. I called them too and they tried to direct my to a service partner I should pay for getting my problems solved, that is very different to what I understand about warrenty too.
I would be really thankful for anyone who could produce a Radio-only flash available using the French .17 Firmware.
The stock .11 radio ROM is completely, I mean really completely useless for me. Any time I try to write a SMS, make a phone call or data connection my Kaiser immediately loses the connection to the network and I have wait for the phone to reconnect itself. I also cannot receive any incoming calls.
I remember that the first radio ROMs for the Hermes were terrible but this is even worse. Too bad because I'm really enjoying the rest of my Kaiser so far.
It is not only the french radio rom .17 ..
I have done lots of test and added above a rom HTC with french .17 radio stack. But there is more then then just the radio. It is better with the mixed rom, but still not good to use it as a reliable phone.
Best what you can do is using the french rom and you get a 50% chance that 3G works incoming and outgoing.
I'm rather new to creating my own cooked ROMs so I'm right to think if I want to upgrade my Kaiser to the .17 Radio ROM, the only thing I need to do is create a .nbh file from "02_Unknown.nb" and flash the resulting nbh file using CustomRUU and my Kaiser will not be completed formated?
I'm asking this because my Kaiser is now perfectly configurated and personalized and I don't want restart install all my programs, I just want to try the new Radio ROM because the current version is completely useless.
Thanks for any info
well disregard my previous post, I just successfully flashed my Kaiser with the new Radio ROM and hopefully I will actually be able to call someone with my PDA phone.
Hi all, first I have to say that I'm in Dublin Ireland using vodafone and have my kaiser for about 3 weeks now and the most odd thing about that would be that it has been working fine 3G and 3.5G when within good coverage. All of a sudden last sunday it just stopped working with 3G I believe that network provider just changed something with its settings but I can't be sure. I would love to see a radio update soon but since I don't believe in miracles I've been trying some temporary workaround just to be able to call and text. It seems that it enough to go to settings -> phone -> network and set the BAND TO GSM. This way it doesn't use 3G but at least I can use the phone. Hope it could help anyone there.
Thanks for the info, I'll try that eventhough the .17 Radio Update did improve network connection somewhat but it's still subpar.
FYI, I was last Saturday in Dublin, eventhough only for an hour, and of course I tried my Kaiser but the 3G data connection completely refused to work. This was when I still had my .11 Radio ROM installed.
So far I have tried my Kaiser in London, Malpensa, Madrid and Berlin so the issue seems to be rather ROM related than provider related.
you're right, it has nothing to do with the provider I was wrong. I took my card from Era Poland with roaming and turned on my Kaiser. On O2 I had two bars on HSDPA and that beautiful H letter on the top of the screen but not possible to make a call, send sms or whatever. Switching to gsm always works. I upgraded to .17 and it looks exactly the same as it was I see no difference at all. The only thing that bothers me at the moment is that for me it's been working fine for some time. I've been using 3g in Dublin and Warsaw as well and for some reason it just stopped I just hope it's not any hardware issue.
Is this rom posted on #1 a radio only or the whole thing?
I have the same problem over here. I have the Tytn2 for one month now. I had vacation and i took the plane at Amsterdam (Schiphol) to Tenerife.
When i arrived in Tenerife i get a 3G icon and cannot make calls and cannot internet. I had manually switch to GSM band. Now back in Holland with auto-settings i have the same problem again. With 3G i can do nothing (call/internet). Anyone any idea?
I have a vodafona abbo, my simcard in the old tytn1 with same settings works well at 3G. Soon i call with htc!
Same problem here with HTC Tytn II in Holland on T-mobile,
switched 3G to GSM and luckely I can use the phone now,
but I really hope there will be a fix soon!
Thanks!
Same on AT&T
I'm having the same problem with my tilt. I had the 3G before the flash but have not had it since.
same her in nyc ...tried both radios....3g doesnt work....help....please
A hard reset does NOT fix the 3G call/internet problem
When i switch the telephoneband from auto to GSM the phone get's connected at G and i can call. But i want videocall.
Please someone ? Defect or waiting for rom ?
I too am experiencing this problem. It happened overnight one night -- 3G will not connect -- neither voice or data, but GSM (edge) works fine.
I'm on ATT, HardSPL with Schaps 4.22 rom. It was working fine in this configuration, then suddenly stopped. Tried Hard reset (no help), and tried upgrading the radio to .17 (also no help). Next step is to try and revert to original ROM/Radio/Bootloader (per "how to restore to factory for rma thread") to see if that helps.
If anyone comes up with a solution, I'd be grateful.

Going insane - No 3g - Duttys Touch Dual Rom.

Hey all.
HTC TYTN II on Tmobile (UK).
ROM - 19209 Dutty's WM6.1 (Dutty's DualTouch Edition Rom).
I've got my phone configured perfectly. Absolutely perfectly, I've tried a million roms and am happy with the one I've got installed.
I couldn't make calls.
At all.
I went into the com manager and turned off 3G. The phone works great.
Now of course the problem is, I would like 3G, but any time I turn it on, no one can call me and I can't call anyone - Not that good for a phone.
All I want for Christmas is my 3g to work -
I searched the forum and found some people used:
removeHiddenProxy4CWS_0522.cab
To fix this. I installed it. Soft Reset. Nothing. Then Renabled. Soft Reset. Nothing.
Please help!
im no expert, but i would try a different radio!

I honestly don't think I could try anymore!
But if someone on this forum is running WM 6.1 and is on T-Mobile (UK) with everything working, and would like to tell me what radio they have I'd give it a go!
yeah you may have installed a radio not compatible with WM6.1 or another countrys radio. Where you from?

England. But I swear I've tried UK only radios?!
Thats odd, Im a UK T-Mobile user and I've installed Dutty's Dual ROM, the raido that's packaged works fine with 3G.
You don't know the radio number do you?
I use 1.64.08.21

Check this out, HTC today released an updated ROM for HTC S730!
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=47&cat=2&dl_id=407
This ROM only seems to fix one bug
"
Improved 3G network performance
Sometimes the network signal strength may show good reception but its not possible to call out or receive any phone calls.
"
Where is the official WM 6.1 upgrade?
Would be better if they had upgraded it to WM6.1, but at least they are showing some kind of support....
seems they have fixed a non existing problem. (if you would ask me)
How about memory problem? Video driver absense?

Hi
There isn't coming any 6.1 update for this phone. On the swedish site www.mobil.se there was a couple of weeks ago a chat with Christer Högström from HTC.
I asked him when the 6.1 update was to be released and the answer in swedish was:
"Det var planerat att uppgrader S730 till Wm6.1 men med den minnes kapasitet som finns på produkten blev det lite svårt att ge kunden en bra upplevelse. Där emot kommer vi med en Standard uppdatering till S730 om ca 2 veckor som förbättrar radio stabiliteten."
Quick translation: It was planed to upgrade s730 to WM 6.1 but with the memory capacity on the product it became hard to give the user a decent user experience. But we will come with a standard update that will improve radio stability.
Heres is the chat: http://www.mobil.se/ArticlePages/200810/28/20081028094638_MOB813/20081028094638_MOB813.dbp.asp
Sorry guys!
Only radioversion changed?
Same experience with RAM here. Seems to me they only changed the radioversion and left the ROM unchanged.. Or am I wrong to expect the ROM version being changed when updated?
Seems like the battery-life however is a little extended as far as I can tell from a single day of light/medium usage.
"It was planed to upgrade s730 to WM 6.1 but with the memory capacity on the product it became hard to give the user a decent user experience. But we will come with a standard update that will improve radio stability."
@gnuda: thanks dude. A question obviusly comes out now: "why the memory capacity of S730 is so lacking?" and ofcourse, "why the same memory capacity for S710 is not so lacking?"
hi all how can i get update rom on x02ht i used the rom from wiki but i always get error 207 i tried using xp same thing error 207 update error file currupted

bad news - but thank you for answer. its crazy - my old MTeoR had less RAM and all programms worked perfektly
so, the only changed in this update is radio huh?
for me, at least, the settings screens have changed slightly. seems also to fix the problem it describes with the 3G
No update available on dutch HTC-site
Hi all,
There is still no sign of any Rom-update on the dutch HTC-site...
Maybe they are prepairing it, because the tabs on the site are changed recently..but besides that they only offer some fancy ringtones up till now.
My wings (S730) suffers from the described 3G-problem, is it save to use the UK-version and am i able to change the language/settings to dutch after updating?
My radioversion shows 1.58.17.02 now..
can anyone extract the radio so we could _at_least_ take the benefit of this crappy upgrade?

You can download the upgrade from the worldwide-website (or Europe) and when you've upgraded your device change the language back to Nederlands. Your radioversion will then be 1.60.43.19. It works for me (Dutch too).
Btw I recieved an email from HTC yesterday in which someone from HTC Europe mentioned that a 6.1 ROM upgrade should be available for downloading on the HTC-website that should solve the issue with my pda
Assuming one's talking about the RAM memory-leakage-issue that I emailed them about some time earlier this year, it's a bit of a strange email.
Probably they prefer to the radioversion upgrade which isn't solving the memory-leakage at all.
I'm still wondering what issue this upgrade should address.. afaik anyone in this room has ever suffered issue this update pretend to solve.
at least for me it gives much longer batterylife on 3g networks..
I don't know if that is what it was suppose to fix though :=)
Actually it did solve a lot of things for me. The main problem was that i could not receive/make calls whatsoever. I know due to Vodafone sms that i receive that i missed a call, but phone didnt register, and i couldnt make calls sometimes as well. As far i know it fixed the issue, also the battery life i would too think its better, but still needs to be checked further. Now if somebody could integrate new rom to WM 6.1 it would be awesome.

Thanks Nightcrow,
I've tried to download the update, no luck so far because "service unavailable temporarly due to maintenance" on both the Europe and the UK-site
Up to now i've missed a lot of calls due to very low signals on 3G, when i switch back to normal GSM-mode i always have full signal but of course my data connection is limited to GPRS then..
Edit: I just succeeded in downloading and upgrading..the whole weekend i was trying to, but it was a stupid mistake of me (i've included the extra D in my serialnumber, and it was not recognised..)

AT&T New 6.1 Rom Radio Problem

Hello everyone...
I bought a used Tilt and unlocked it and flashed it with the newest stock rom.. Now the camera displays a black screen and the audio for programs seems to onyl work sometimes... I ahve another Tilt and know what it shoudl sound like.. I flashed it with the newer AT&T Tilt Rom I got directly from the link from AT&T's website to the HTC download...
The flash worked great besides that... GPS works great, it makes and receives calls fine.. just those 2 problems... I will be selling this 2nd one so I want it to have the newest stock rom... Plus this newer version comes with HTC Home already incorperated...
After doing some reading (yes, I did before I am asking) I figured out it is most likely jsut a problem with the radio... I was wondering if you guys can point me to the correct radio to use with that rom.. I am not too concerned at the moment with which radio will work best with which carrier, etc.. I just really care that it fully functions at this point, so I am not being too picky... Thank you in advance for you advice!
did you search for this problem. Sounds like an issue that is mentioned weekly.

Will WM6.5 work on my phone?

I've got a Sprint Touch Diamond with WM6.1 that's a year old. Can I download WM6.5 and have it work on my phone? Is there a possibility that it will damage my phone? I'm afraid that if I install WM6.5 and update the ROM (of whatever else needs to be done) that I'll mess my phone up...
Sorry to ask, but I've never updated the ROM or anything like that, so this is all new to me. I've added in a few small programs from here and gotten some good wallpaper photos.

yes and No my friend. you won't screw-up your phone as long as you follow the tutorials for unlocking & flashing. WM6.5 by itself can't do any harm to your phone.
but you can damage your phone if you flash a ROM( 6.1-6.5) from other device. specially with the diamond people may get confused because there are two different models (gsm/cdma). ie if yoy flash a gsm rom into a cdma phone for sure you'll brick it. both are diamonds but there are totally different hardware.
this forum is for diamond-cdma models also call Victor so you can unlock/flash a 6.5 rom into your phone without any problem if your phone is a diamond-cdma phone (without sim).
read this great tutorial:

Another thing, it might seem difficult at first, but it will become easy as time goes on. I have Windows Mobile 6.5 on my HTC Touch Diamond, and I'm on Sprint, so I just want to let you know yes, it's possible. =]
My phone is BELL HTC TOUCH DIAMOND (CDMA). My only question is: can I go back?
Yes, just unlock your phone.
You can go back to the Stock ROM if needed.
