[Q] WIN upgrade for t5353 diamond 2 - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to find upgrade rom from 6.1 to6.5 but they all say not available for this phone.
It is a t5353 sn. HT95TLXXXXXX
Is there an upgrade for this phone?
MOD EDIT: Not a good idea to post your device's serial number!!

reported it to mods, so that it is moved to the right section, more help will be provided in the right section

Thread moved to Topaz Q&A.
There are plenty of 6.5 ROMs here in the forum. Just follow the instructions for installing Hard-SPL & flash away!
If you're looking for an official update, those would be found on the HTC website (if available).
EDIT: There are several 6.5 ROM updates on the HTC website. The ones one last year include Manila 2.1, while this year's updates include Sense 2.5 (depending on your region).
EDIT 2: Here's the latest (official) WM 6.5 ROM for your device: http://www.htc.com/th/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=915
EDIT 3: If you're interested, here's the older (original) 6.5 upgrade for your device: http://www.htc.com/th/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=741

Thanks for that.
Also could you tell me what unscrupulious use could be made from the serial no. I posted (not thinking) So I could be on the lookout?

To be honest, I'm not really sure - but I do know the serial number is specific to your device, and somewhere (likely in your Carrier's system) is connected to your personal information. So, while it's not likely that someone will use this information against you, I wanted to make sure you knew that it was possible, and remove it from your post just in case.

Well i just want to tell that, serial number for GSM devices cant be traced to any Personal info, but they still they to remove it so that hacker may not clone the serial numbers

Installed the latest that you sugested and it works except I am having a problem driving it. the only 6.5 user manual I have been able to find is a 6.5 telstra one which is different in some things.If I could speak russion I might be able to find it at the same site that I got the rom.

Going from Branded ATT WM5 to Unbranded WM6

Hey guys, I was looking for some sort of tutorial for something.
I was trying to find something that explains how to go from the a Branded AT&T Treo 750 with AT&T Windows Mobile 5 (version 1.13) to the Unbranded Windows Mobile 6.
Does anyone know how to do this or know somewhere which explains it?
It's my brothers phone, I have an AT&T Tilt, so I'm not too experienced with the Palm stuff.
He said that when he tried to run the exe file for an unbranded update it gave him some sort of error.
Anyway, how do I go about switching from Branded to Unbranded WM6?
And what features does which update have? Like which one is the best?
I appreciate any help guys.
Thanks.
Try searching a little before asking. There are thousands of posts to look through, the answer is probably already there..............
Why do you want an unbranded version? I recommend using the official ATT version and then customize the CapPackage.PXP to desired taste. At the end of the day the WM6 is WM6 is WM6 (per se).
And yes, you will need to do some digging - you'll learn much more about your device and how it works (the point of this forum). You'll note in your search that a lot of trial and error and collaboration goes into figuring things out. Once you have done your research, have attempted the upgrade and run into trouble or have a specific question (as opposed to a request for upgrade 101), we're here to help
Cheers!

I'm well aware of that, but the purpose of my post was to see if someone could point me in the right direction.
I've found multiple install files to download but haven't found instructions nor if they're the right install files.
Please keep in mind I've been looking for this for a few weeks now.
Anyway, anyone know anything about this?
Edit: Heh, I just posted right after you without seeing your post.
Anyway, my brother said he wanted the unbranded version for the tethering option or something. He said that the ATT version wasn't tethering properly.
I have the official ATT version with no problems via usb or bluetooth. Give it a shot and if it doesn't work go for the generic version (see sticky in this forum).
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361518
I answered this, it's the third post. This method will work with any Treo 750 (Cingular, AT&T, etc.). Since then I have upgraded to 2.27 and it is working fine.

Kaiser new user - Merged 3 Questions...

hi all just a quick post i have just signed up on the HTC site when i type in my S/N number it is saying that there is no such S/N ihave tried to ring orange but they dont know what iam trying to do i just want to know if there is going to be a free upgrade to the phone to windows mobile 6.1 if not is there any other way of getting the update
any help would be great thanks in advance
Official versions of WM6.1 have not shipped yet. If you want an unofficial version, start with the stickies and the wiki found in my sig, to learn how to flash ROMs found in the development section.
If you have any additional questions, you should try to post in an existing thread.
Have fun!
FWIW, my ROMs are not 6.1
Make sure you don't use any of the ROM's with the name Alex in it. They don't have 3D video drivers. HEHE
Just kidding, none of them do.
Kaiser new user - How do I put a ROM on my phone?
hi again sorry to be a pest what do i need to put a new rom on my phone or is it just download and install ?
Hi,
To start with click on the Gettings Started link in my Sig and read, all the information is there in verbose form.
But in short:
First you need to install HardSPL, this allows your phone to be flashed with a new ROM without it been bricked.
Once that is installed you can select and Flash your new ROM.
If the ROM you flash does not include a Radio then you may need to install a compatable radio. Click on the radios link in my sig and install a version to match your Windows Mobile Version.
If you have any problems with this post your problem in the relevant thread (all the threads are in the Getting Started Link in my sig).
Happy flashing.
Thanks
Dave

Just as a matter of interest, why do you think you need a new Rom on your phone? Or, how do you even know that new Roms are available?
You've obviously read far enough to realise that the new Roms are both available and better, so why not read a bit more and answer your question yourself...
Step one: Read
Step two: ???
Step three: PROFIT!!

First time Flasher, question about the stock ROM with Xperia...

Hey Guys,
First off, my immense gratitude for all your hard work! So much information and development, really make me appreciate the massive cost that went into the Xperia !
Before posting this thread, I did my research, read and saw as much as I could, before I posted any questions about Flashing. Thankfully, I have most of the answers, but have a few left. I am sorry if the answers to these questions already exist here, I tried to find them, but couldn't quite find the exact answer, so I apologize in advance for offending or upsetting anyone, I mean great respect to all of you . So, here are my questions:
1. Is it fair to assume that ROMs and Firmwire, could be used as synonyms? They are both essential system files, placed on the ROM portion of the device. I am asking this question, because I want to make sure I have all the pieces of information, in case, something goes wrong during Flashing my custom ROM. I want to have ALL the stock components that came with my Xperia, therefore, I need to understand if Firmware is different from stock ROMs, here. If so, what is the difference and where can I get the proper firmware?
2. Here is all the information I could download from my phone:
Software Id: 1213-6450
Software Version: R1AA017
Customization Version: R15A
Customization Variant: GENERIC_UK
Version:
ROM version: 1.02.931.3
ROM date: 08/29/08
Radio version: 1.06.25.29
Protocol version: 52.43.25.24U
Based on this info, can you guys help me locate this EXACT ROM, if someone has it on XDA? I would really appreciate it! I tried going through the stock ROM threads, but I cannot find the EXACT match. I also wanted a second pair of eyes, more experienced eyes to let me know what information is referring to what and if I have had EVERYTHING needed, before I flash to a custom ROM. If the exact version of the ROM from my phone is not available here, then I guess I'd have to back up my ROM, using the instructions from here. Can anyone confirm this? Also, please don't be surprised by how old this version must be, LOL, I got one of the earliest models and I never touched it .
3. In choosing a custom ROM, I have decided to go with the popular choice, that is Itje's Touch-IT v4.5 Landscape. If I understand this correctly, the Manila (TF3D) on this is ported from the BRAND NEW HTC devices, the Diamond 2 and Pro 2, which use Manila 2, as I understand it? If this is correct, then is it also safe to assume that Themes from Blackstone or something, will NOT run on this Manila 2? I also assume that TF3D Config would also be ineffective on this?
4. What application do you guys recommend for the most comprehensive back up of the Xperia, that is, Emails, Text Messages, Pictures, and so on, and once backed up, can they be restored to another Xperia or any other WM 6.1 Device, including the text messages?
I really want to thank everyone in advance for reading my questions and post, and would again like to apologize if I have offended anyone. It really was not my intention, and please understand there's a myriad of information here, LOL, so just cause most of you our Gurus, us mere Mortals may not always know where to dig it from . Thank you again for your patience, I look forward to your responses.
Regards,
ProFragger.
1) Yes. There's several kinds of Read Only Memory in your device that you can modify. 1st is the SPL, second is the Radio and third is the OS. "Images" for the latter two are referred to as ROMs.
2) Back it up if you want to be sure.
3) Most of your assumptions are correct. I cannot comment on wheter tf3dconfig will work or not.
4) PPCPimBackup (comes with Itje's ROM too)
Thank you very much Angelusz, for your response and help. I have learned, just from those few lines .
I guess I will go ahead and start backing up my stock ROM. If anyone can help me identify, if the ROM already exists online, based on the info I provided in my post earlier, then I would appreciate that too.
Thank you again guys.

[ROM UPDATE]HTC Touch Pro2 1.19 EU

HTC Touch Pro2 ROM Upgrade (EU)
An updated ROM is now available for HTC Touch Pro2 users to download. As always, HTC is committed to providing customers with the best possible mobile experience.
Improved Functions and Fixes:
* The Financial Providers Icon (Yahoo!) was placed in the Stock Tab in TouchFLO to clearly indicate where the data originated.
* The phone now shows the actual amount of RAM (288MB) instead of the amount used in previous models (256MB).
Download
Thank you for the information.
Actually allowing me to download it.
Probably won't flash it for a while.
Everything I normally use, works just fine.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If you are having problems downloading it, get it here.

Downoaded it. Loaded it onto my TP2. Wished I hadn't. Performance is now dreadful!
Phone sticks in the call screen, and I've lost my licenced version of CoPilot.
I have all the ROMs except the Portuguese one (which I dont have a valid S/N for) at http://xda.caspersworld.co.uk
EDIT: Now have the Portuguese ROM as well

Thank you for the heads up. I was just about to download it when I read your comment.
My Rhoduim works great with the stock rom it came with. (1.19.401.0) So like the guy said in another thread here in the Rhoduim section "If it ain't broke it don't need to be fixed".
Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to some custom roms.

I've downloaded it. Runs smooth, no problems. I updated my copilot last week with the one in the htc site. It wouldn't allow me to use my licence on it. Contacted copilot, they replied straight away with
Please proceed with the following instructions to allow you to activate successfully on the Touch Diamond 2 / Touch Pro 2.
1) Hard reset your device (as HTC stop CoPilot from being removed from the device once installed)
2) Download the latest installer from http://support-downloads.alk.com/copilot7-cabs/Touch-Diamond-Pro-2-Non-RPS-CAB.zip
3) Delete \Storage Card\CoPilot\Save
4) Unzip the above ZIP and it should contain a copilot.wm6ppc.cab
5) Download the map from our portal www.copilotlive.com/htc
6) Unzip the file and copy the folder CoPilot into your Storage Card
7) Install this on your device (navigate and tap it using File Explorer)
8) Once installed, Launch CoPilot
9) You will now be asked for a product key code
10) Select Manual Activation
11) Go to http://activate.alk.com and enter
Your Product Key Code
Your License number (found on your device manual activation screen)
Your Email Address
12) When provided from the Activation Website with an Activation Code, tap NEXT on your device and enter this into your device
13) CoPilot should now activate successfully
I tried it using automatic activation and it worked.
After updating to this new rom, copilot remained in my program directory and was still activated. Not sure how they managed to do that.
Hope that helps
what has changed? My rom has version 1.14.161.5 on it. It works like a dream after lots of tweaks and fiddles have been applied but I always want the the latest stuff. Does anyone know what has changed between mine and the new one?
I'm using a T-Mobile USA Touch Pro 2 and noticed that I'm running ROM 1.20.531.4 (51986) WWE with Radio 3.45.25.14.. If you guys need a rom dump of that, let me know, I'll see what I can do for ya'll
3g was gone
i am writing from Turkey and my carrier's name is turkcell... i installed that rom last night..it is bad for me, my carrier's 3g support was gone..the 3g icon doesnt appear anymore..what can i do ?
do you have 3G support with that radio?.

Yes, because it's an official TP2 for TMobile.
thanks for your response. I had some hope to be a radio based issue rather than the common hardware issue we've seen with all the generic devices. disregard my PMs though.
thanks again.
Q: can this be ported onto the US TP2?
CAN SOMEONE DUMP THE FILE HERE instead of going via HTC site
this cannot be port to youre device becouse there is NO hardspl.
you need that.. then you can flash roms other then youre languide (custom roms)
Hi all, newbie here.
I've got a UK vodafone Pro2 with ROM 1.14.161.5 (50207) WWE.
Tried updating the ROM but says my serial is not valid for this ROM!!!
I am also unable to update with the GPS hotfix as its not compatible ??
Is this due to the fact that its using Vodafones own ROM and therefore we arent allowed to reflash the ROM ?
I have emailed HTC but while waiting a reply was wondering if anyone here would help out.
Thanks!

did you get reply from HTC? I have the same issue with WWE version, and it's not branded.
Yeah i did, its due to the fact that its a custom Vodafone ROM. Therefore updating is not possible via HTC, they advised me to contact vodafone themselves to see if they have released any updates themselves.
couldn't find anything useful at all on the vodafone website.
Looks like I'm stuck... for now.
Apparently its not possible to to re-flash the ROM yet? something to do with HardSPL.. I don't know, complete noob at this so far.
Hope you have better luck.
Should I load the ROM??
I dont care what memory it says it has - I dont care where the finance quotes come from (these are the 2 stated improvements) - surely this is not the only reason to upgrade a ROM???

Which ROM to use?

Hi all,
I've just purchased a Rhodium that is a Vodafone UK unlocked device. On booting it is still Vodafone branded however it was simlocked thus I can use it with other carriers.
Given the above, which stock 6.5 ROM shall I use, the Vodafone UK one (which I can download if I provide my serial number) or the standard Touch Pro 2 ROM (for which I'll need a good serial number to input)?
Thanks in advance for your help.
** Bump **
Any feedback please???
why limit yourself to stock ROMs?
there are some great cooked ROMs here - and the wiki will tell you what steps to follow to flash one onto your TP2.
This thread will be closed without a doubt. Just start reading the Rhodium section. Check out ROM releases and user experiences. There simply isn't a best ROM out there!
I just always use the one at the top of the forums. A flash a day keeps the doctor away!
