download the two zips from above
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1312211&postcount=9
follow the above instructions, one of the zips is a manual too

the above rom is great, if you want minimal apps and max speed try vanilla 2.01 or vanilla touch. tom codon cooks some great roms too. roms can be found here

you just gotta do searches, advanced searches and failing that, a lot of reading.
good luck
Hi guys!
I'm not easily puzzled by terms and stuff to do to tweak your hardware, but since I'm all new to WM, I am trying to make sense of how to go ahead with running a custom ROM. I have a TC with original UK ROM.
First, obviously I should make a dump of my currently installed ROM. I am just very unsure how I achieve that?
Second, I have figured out that I need to Hard-SPL to get rid of certificate-checking in de device to run ROMs.
Third, I need to flash a custom ROM ... at this point I can have my way with the device, and do what I want. Also, not clear how I do that, unfortunately
Offcourse, at some point I will want to return my device for maintenance, warranty or maybe even sell it ... at which point I need to un-do the HardSPL hack, and reflash with the original image ... How would I go about that?
I've searched the forum, and I couldn't find it unfortunately, maybe, since I am a newbie, I missed a term to search for, or maybe I completely misunderstood
Any hints are very welcome!

All of your questions had been answered a number of times already in this forum so there's only one thing you can do, Search and you will find the answers.
Hi. I'm actually searching for the same stuff and haven't found some all-in-one topic yet.
Don't mind "kutonglupa", i'm beginning to think he's a bot on this forum. Even though you say (i did it too) that you used the search function he can only come with one response: "use the search".
I'll keep searching too.
Try this for starters: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
You probably know this already
Hard-spl flash:
Download hard-spl
Plug the usb cable to your pda.
Run RomUpdateUtiliy on PC.
PDA will display tricolour.
You will be asked REPLUG you usb cable. DO IT!
After a few second Hard-spl will be upgraded!
Rom flash:
Download the rom
Step manually to bootloader (press and hold camera button and press reset)
You will get a tricolor screen.
Plug the usb cable to your pda
Start RomUpdateUtiliy.exe (or Rom.exe) on you Pc.
Pda screen will be grey, you will see the process indicator.
When it is 100%, update is finished.
Radio-rom flash
The same as rom flash above, just download and use the radio-rom.
Back to offical rom + radio:
The same as rom flash above, just download and use the offical rom!
Back to original spl:
At this time no working method as I know...

See! Now you know you'll find a more comprehensive explanation if you'll just search, init? You've learned the lesson and you've earned your respect. CONGRATS DUDE!
Thanks
Newbie thanks for opening this thread,
it give a very good overview what to really do for flashing the Rom without having to read through XX Pages.
Unfortunately I have still have not found a right link on how to backup my orginal O² German ROM.
What do I need for this just in case I do need to send in the Polaris?
Is the software specifc for the Polaris?
Look forward for a quick note.
Cheers
Rar9
Be careful with what you try from the Kaiser forum in terms of tweaks though, I've read people had problems using them on the Polaris. see the Polaris tips and tricks thread for details

Thanks dude. You're welcome!
I was reading now in the whole forum for about two whole afternoons, and I have to say that I still have the same questions as the threadstarter.
These questions answered once and for all, this thread would be worth pinning in my opinion, because complete newbies don't know where to find the necessary information in this really huge forum.
For the case someone wants to come up again with "use search", I will try to make clear, what problems of newbies (including me) are:
For example: I now already found three different lists of HTC-cab-files in the forum, one here in the polaris-section, one in the general section, a half one in the wiki... often without version-info, and so don't really know whats the actual one...
so far so confusing, I tried to search for the answers onto the exact same questions as the threadstarter posted. in the wiki, there is simply nothing on WM6, no tools, no real how-to, nothing a newbie can use.
Only thing I could understand from wiki, is that cooking an own ROM, needs to have a unix(-like) OS, and even there, I'm not sure if it is still actual for WM6.
Reading a bit around, I then was glad to at least find out that the devices are locked for non-certified ROMs, and that one needs to do that HardSPL.
Well that's as far as I could get until now, and I really don't know much more than before. Pretty unsatisfactory...
So could anyone make (or point to) a little overview of what one needs to know about dumping, flashing WM6-ROMs, and before flashing, what one needs to "cook" an own ROM.
Perhaps I was imagining this way to easy, but I thought about nLite/vLite-style applications for customizing ROMs?! Probably you'll all laugh at me, but I would very much appreciate taking me serious, because I want to learn how to do it. Simply don't want to lose time searching the forum for information, that don't help me advance...
thanks a lot
Eric
EDIT:
well I found this, which I can only recommend to all newbies: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
with this, questions of flashing are all answered,
but what tools one needs for dumping, flashing, editing ROMs and all of the remaining questions mentioned above remain open
hi guys,
I have just joined the forum and this is my first post..
I have bought the XDA Ignito or the HTC Touch Diamond.. and have been exploring the phone. Was wondering if I can get some help here, i know there are lots of posts there but some things are complicating to me!
Just to inform that I am a newbie with all this stuff.
I want to customise few things:
I'm on orange and therefore I dont want the O2 screen at the start, and although I like the blue and white theme (of the TouchFlo3D), I would like to see the original version (black) also..
In the Internet option, When I click on Launch Browser, nothing happens and I have to manually open Internet Explorer from the Start menu!
I thought it is possible to browse the web in landscape by tilting the phone, but when I tilt the device nothing happens. Is it because im using Internet Explorer?
What do I need to do to purely customise my new toy lol
Also I would like to know of any tweaks that I may be able to do to maybe make the phone more faster?
One more question, I would like to know how long on average does the battery last? Mine lasts just about a day!
Thank you lot in advance! Appreciate all the help I can get!
Cheers
dakz
The simple answer is to flash a new rom. This will make your phone a standard diamond and remove the O2 branding
Internet explorer does not work in landscape. Most diamond's have Opera installed as the default browser which does switch to landscape
The new Rom should make your phone faster - the custom roms are usually tweaked for speed
If it's new, you are probably playing with your new toy a lot, so 1 day battery is about right
You could also try diamond tweak or advanced config from this forum. Both allow you to tweak in a user friendly way
There are sticky threads about these at the start of this very diamond forum
hey hays
firstly thanks for the reply..
So where do I or can I download the new rom and is it easy to 'flash' it? But before that i would want to know how to backup the current one just incase therex problems later!
Regarding the browser, i will try find the opera browser n download and make it the default, hoping that will work!
Right once i get those things done i will search the tweaks..
cheers so far
dakz
I downloaded Opera, including the new beta version from their website and yet it does not tilt to landscape when i turn the phone
Can someone who is able to browse the web in landscape plz tell me which version of Opera you are using?
thanks
opera browser landscape version??
no one willing to put an input??? Need to know the opera version!
I suggest you to backup files using spb backup and then flash the rom you like. It's easy, there is a fine tutorial. Probably you will have opera with it.
cheers
thanks for that
spent most of today just researching it around the forums, catching up on all the terminology that had been confusing me lol
I will download n flash a new ROM soon.. but I would like to backup my current one, which is 1.93.206.3 WWE and Radio version 1.00.25.05.
Anyone know where I can download these original ones?
thanks once again.
dakz
I know nothing about backuping whole rom, but I suggest you not to worry about that, there are few O2 roms here I think, radio also is no problem
yeh i might forget about backing up the whole ROM and instead im just going to find 1.93.206.3 WWE ROM sumwhere lol and then i can start messing about!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430636
dont work!
thanks idrisito, i've checked that thread earlier today..
the link they provide in there dont exist any more
does it not! ill sort it out when i get home!
found it, i think!
well i did find "O2 XDA Ignito ROM 1.93.206.3 WWE November_2008.rar" from http://www.mediafire.com/?wz2amnzyk1w located in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430636&page=5.
Now im slightly confused, will this do as my backup or should I wait until you sort out the link u have given me earlier?
that link i posted (i.e. the first one on the XDA ignito thread) does work ! i just downloaded from it !
thats the latest one it should say december 7th!
the other one i upped whic youv got does not display the splash screen correctly
once you'v downloaded the december 7th one that should allow you to return to the stock ROM, after flashing other ROMs, if you want to ever return for warranty purposes!
wicked! thanx
Hey idrisito thanks bro!!
dont know what happened!! its strange lol it was not working before! honest!
well im downloading it right now.
I also managed to flash Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex 1.40 and updated my Radio to v1.03.25.18 from 1.00.25.05. How would i find out which radio is better lol are there any things i should look for?
Two days of hard reading on this forum ahh lol but glad its done successfully without any problems.. next stage is to find a good ROM and flash that! Might start with the HTC's original one and compare it to the O2's blue theme.
thanks n keep up the good work
update: I just tried to flash Diamond_WWE_1.93.707.157 ROM but for some reason was unsucessful! It ends up with the following message after 1%:
error [244] INVALID MODEL ID
What am i doing wrong?
dakz
you need to carrier unlock your phone (CID unlock) if you want to flash any ROM!
have you installed unsigned hard SPL? (i suggest unsigned)
it probably didnt work cos the rom your installing is for a different region!
go for one of UDKs or some of the othe widely used ROMs in the forum!
there is a way round flashing the rom you currently have but it involves deconstrucing>> changing the model ID>>reconstructing the ROM and then flashing!
its easy enough once you know how!
the best radio in my opinion is the one suggested in UDK R3 ROM thread
Hello
P.s. Is this the right thread i am posting i dont know....is this is a wrong thread and if i am not supposed to post here then i am sorry for my noobness.....
well, dought a diamond few days back....its a used piece that has no warrenty.....so i have been thinking of modding it with new rom and s/w.....well basically i am a noob in upgrading roms...but i have seen my friend do it a couple of times,felt its a no sweat process....and i wanna try my hand at it....
well basically i need a good rom....(i know i should have searched the forum for roms....but i need your valuable Wisdom in choosing the right rom cause if i choose a wrong one i might mess things up.....and no i am not Lazy)
well...i want a good rom....plz suggest me a few...i will now mention what i need in my phone....so plz..be patient
i need
Windows Mobile OS Rom(preferably The Latest 6.1 cause its the stable one around....i dont know about 6.5 is it any good..?)
can i have the cube application in the Diamond......it would look cool to use it...
Mobile Office,Pdf Reader,yahoo messenger,a nice all in one media player..(like vlc on pc platform....it plays everything i throw at it...i just love it..)
i would also like to have the Htc Touch Viva Blue Theme.....i dont Know what its called but i saw it on my friend phone and it was pleasent...
Hey, u know that your phone can brick, right?
You really should read a lot about flashing before doing it.
Start >here<
After that proceed here
If you read everything carefully and want to flash a new ROM be shure to
do it step by step as it's suggested.
And I guess you have read it quite often, but you have to find your own ROM.
Try some and then decide which to use. It's most satisfying^^
And yes, 6.1 is more stable than 6.5 for now so you should take a 6.1 ROM.
But have a look at these two ROMs. I have tryed them both besides many other and I used the A.Z.T.O.R. series for a long time -> very stable and really fast! Will use it again when X3 will be released I don't know if they fit all of your personal needs, but especially for some special theme or so on you should search the Thread you posted this request
A.Z.T.O.R.

Good luck!
PS.: Please use a topic that contains some more information next time
oh dang i could only get to the first sentence because i have cdma
Thanks for the reply marcel .....i know that i am risking it...but hey...better to die than live a coward all my life ....i want to go thru this...
and okay nxt time i will name the thread more appealingly....
I would recommend two options. You can use Cloudy 1.1 with and without Manila. I have tried both. The WITH Manila has the TF3D with it which is very nice. However, my preference is WITHOUT Manila and then add SPB Mobile Shell 3.0. This is more user friendly.
Both options are very fast and with lots of free ram (more than 50Mb)...
I am not sure if these work with CDMA - please check first.
By the way, I think there is so much great help on these sites (and PPC Geeks) that you will always find a way to get your phone looking and feeling the way you like.
Good luck!
Oops...!!!
Sorry i forgot to mention..the Diamond i right now have was flashed earlier...so right now its having a custom rom by diamond project team....well i am looking for a move basic rom.....which is almost or most likely official rom...
if you want a official rom you can visit HTC.com and download the latest official rom that have been released. whether or not you can use the custom spl without doing any harm i have no idea about since i do not know anything about roms and flashing i just know that HTC has official roms on their site
I think u can download ROMs from HTC if u own an original-HTC device, right?
I wasn't able to download their ROMs because I bought my Diamond from a German reseller
-> Same phone, nearly the same look but an unsupported IMEI (?)
And again I can propose an A.Z.T.O.R. ROM^^
Alpha Zero Tweaked Official Roms = A.Z.T.O.R.
And as your phone was flashed before you should have no probs flashing a new ROM^^ So try some and then choose
The Whole Story!!!
Actually The Diamond i Right now have was bought off the gray market..it was actually a orange network locked phone...so the phone is right now unlocked,gray market product....
Okie....i will take a look at AZTOR..
Ahem...
Well i decided to go with this hardspl....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402 but i cannot seem to understand which radio file to choose....and Roms are Relatively not a big problem...i will try AZTOR OR Duttys..plz gimme a latest stable Radio file...

I just got a TP2 and it has Manila 1.9 on it still. I'd like to upgrade to version 2.5 but don't want to mess anything up. Can I just install 2.5 or do I have to work my way up to it? Any help would be appreciated, as well as a link to the version or versions I have to use...
No, You need a rom with 2.5 cooked into it. Check out the rom thread over at PPC Geeks.

And why not the ROM thread here at xda?
Thanks for the replies. I'm pretty shady about flashing my ROM as I'm never done it before. I'm not computer illiterate, just haven't attempted anything like this on a phone yet. I have no problems with cabs or registry edits. My main goal is to get Max Manila on the phone. Would someone please give me step by step instructions with links? I just see too many version specific things and don't want to install the wrong thing and brick my phone. I have a US Cellular Touch Pro 2, ROM version 2.01.5733. I'd like to stay as close to the original as possible, just add Manila 2.5....
Any help is always appreciated...
[Edit] I do have Manila 2.1 on there now also.....
There isnt a way to "hot swap" sense because its built in to the Windows infrastructure because Sense has so much control over the phone. The only solution here is to flash a new rom. The steps are EXTREMELY simple.
the thread for such a thing is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
if retaining stock apps or anything is your main issue, then perhaps you can make good friends with one of the Chefs and they could throw something together for you

True, True. Nothing against the rom thread here. I have a CDMA TP2 and just like the one over at PPC. I loved it here when I had the Vogue.

That's how we all started. It's kinda like crack in a way. Once you start, you can't stop. Since you're already doing reg edits, you one step away from flashing roms. There are a lot of great cooks in these forums that are willing to help answer questions. These guys build some great roms that truly enhance the value and usability of your phone.
Heh PPCGeeks is also a good place ;p.
You could always just install the Sense 2.5 cab over your sense 1.9? I use the Sense 2.1 cab (sooooo much smoother) and my ROM has no manila in it from the start and it runs flawlessly.
Okay, I finally have the time to play with this. I think I have the files but just want to ask to make sure. When I was reading up on this before, I thought I read somewhere about unlocking you sim card or something like that, but couldn't find that now. I've downloaded RhodiumW HardSPL and Energy Ron 23121. Can someone just verify that's all I need? From what I found I just run the HardSPL while hooked up via ActioveSync, and it should go from there. Once done I open the rom file and run the Custom RUU file. Am I missing anything?
