As I am reading through the posts in this website I realize that I am not as technical as I would like. I am trying to simply make my Mogul more responsive and functional. I would like to be able to use the GPS with Google Maps, once this feature is available, and obviously I would like everything to look cool.
I currently have the following installed:
ROM Version 2.17.651.0
Radio Version 1.47.01
SPB Mobile Shell
SPB Phone Suite
Opera Mobile
Can anyone offer assistance on what I should do/add next?
the first thing id do is upgrade your radio and get on one of DCD's roms. instant GPS. winmo 6.1 also makes your phone much faster. umm ditch SPB, it slows everything down like crazy and pick up HTC home and HTC home customizer. make sure you have the newest opera, not the beta, its much better. thats what i got for you so far, if i think of anything else ill let you know
In general I understand what you are saying, but I am not sure I understand how. Where would one go to upgrade the radio and get a dcd rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362563
follow the directions here (follow them in order and you'll be ok)
you can get the latest DCD rom here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367574
(just a note to you. these roms that people are making take a lot of hard work and time, and all of the GPS roms are based of a leaked test rom(it's not official from sprint or whom ever your carrier is) so there are bugs and they are working hard to fix the issues. most likely if you have a problem it's been had before so search through the threads for the answer)
ok so let me make sure I understand...
I do these things in this order?:
1. Hard SPL Unlocker
2. Radio 3.27
3. DCD ROM 2.2.6
Is this correct?
Also, will I be able to load other software on top of this ROM?
Also, what is the difference in a ROM and a Kitchen?

switch the radio and the rom placement
(this supposedly helps keep your information intact so you don't have to call your provider and get the Akey)
1. Hard SPL Unlocker
2. DCD ROM 2.2.6
3. Radio 3.27
you will be able to put programs on top of this rom
a kitchen lets you customize the rom before you flash it to your phone

Problems upgrading should be posted under the Titan Upgrading forum. You will get a much quicker response, also you will see this has been a common issue that is resolved in several posts. Use forum search.

Thanks for the info. I found What I neede............but made another problem for my self
Hi Folks!
First I would like to say that you are doing a lot of great work which will make the life with our little electronic friends alot easier! I saw these Windows Mobile 6.1 images from Pepe and I just must have it. But since I'm completly new to PPC's, I have a few questions about it.
1. Is there a list of features of the different "Editions" for the Bepe images?
2. How do I flash the ROM to my phone? Is there some kind of HowTo?
3. I have an O2 XDA Orbit 2 which is an Polaris 200. Is that the right platform? I just don't want to mess anything up on it.
4. What will happen to my TomTom Navigator software? Can I reinstall it using the package included DVD?
Thanks for your patience and for answering my questions!

I think you mean Bepe and not Pepe?
1) Premium = Full; Opera = No TomTom; Standard = No TomTom, No Opera Browser; Basic = Light
2) First of all you have to install HardSPL and then you can flash the Rom (just download the rom, the tool for flashing is built in).
3) Yes, it´s right. I did the same.
4) Grab the Premium-Version, there´s TomTom included. This might be work without reinstalling from the TomTom-DVD. I prefer IGO8.
Further information can be found here.
Good luck.
You have all you need here

Thanks alot! So at last I need to know is if the Bepe ROM's contain any radio stuff or which one I should take.
radio is included. at least i didn't had to install any additional stuff...

No, Radio is NOT included, but the one already on your phone will not be affected by flashing this ROM or any other ROM not containing Radio. The CustomRUU will always update only what is included in the ROM and leave the rest as it is.
If I'm wrong, correct me.
Radio rom is not included
FM Radio is
Guys I got it! This Newbie HowTo is really great!
First I tried the Polaris unlocker. It has three steps, but only the first, flashing the Hard SPL worked for me for unknown reason. I thought Hard SPL is on the device, it runs up fine, three coloured screen says Hard SPL so I was going for the Bepe 0.67 Premium ROM. This worked really fine. After that, I did a hard reset as recommended and made my settings. Then I tried to flash the radio. Well... This made me kinda nervous, I thought I f*cked something up and bricked it. It showed me an error 262 at 99% and then some kind of recovery stuff started. I was a bit too nervous so I choose next where I shouldn't. But removing the battery, and flashing the new radio again while seeing the three coloured screen worked fine for me. WiFi and 3G phone calls work fine, the rest should be also ok I think. Well, thanks for this great ROM's folks! Now I'm happy that I bought my HTC instead of this piece of brick called iPhone.
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.
udK Syrius
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...

Hi All
I have just flashed my HD2 for the first time useing
Leo 1.48 ROMs
New radio, SYS of 21869 (as far as I can tell, pretty much identical to the TEST 1.48 ROMs...)
WWE
ELL (Greek)
PTG
I am sure all went well with no problems, however I have noticed I am missing my HTC Contactes on the Home Scrren Tabs. I went to start & found HTC Messages / HTC Calendar / People / Music / Footprints / Peep. I am sure before the flash I had HTC Contacts?????
I have also tried to tidy the Start page up by creating folders and moving programs through Explorer which seems to work ok, However I created a Folder called HTC Programs and moved all the above into this folder all went ok. I rebooted the Device and when I head back into Start Menu the above programs have returned & also they are also located in the HTC Programs folder that I created. I have tried Cut & Paste with no luck.
I am sure its something I have done wrong, however any help would be great.
Thanks

Your fist problem.... Have you tried a Hard Reset After Flashing the ROM... And please confirm that whether it's a TEST Rom ??? If so you can leave it alone...
Second problem.... I also have this problem... so dont worry mate, it's seemed like that is the default option of the ROM....
Hi Thanks for the quick replay
I must admit I did not do a Hard Reset after flashing the Rom. Do you think its worth doing now & may sort this problem out with the HTC Contacts.
Also not sure if this is a Test Rom..... Whats the difference with the Test Roms to the one I may have installed

Ok.... It's better for you Hard Reset after each flash.... even twice ... If the problem still there you have to concern about download progress .. It's possible when you download and there are some thing make your file become "bad".... so you have a bad flash... You should re flash it or re- download.
Yes, there are much different between Test Rom and Official ROM... You better use the Official ROM... because it's the most stable for daily use. And if that was a Test Rom...so it's not full functional mate... If you are in Europe .. I recommend you flash back the Shipped ROM from WWE or EU... and wait for some days cause a new WWE ROM is coming soon though... so take your time... and cheers
TIP: When you flash a new ROM ... let take a look around all the function whether it works or there is still a bug, do not setting up everything cause it wastes your time... For safety, you should use the Official ROM from HTC... because it's reliable for your daily activities.
By the way... you should use Microsoft My Phone to back up your data. I know there are some applications can back up well but there will be the error to your device if the Core Function like (HTC SENSE) in latest ROM is the newer version compare to the previous. There will be somethings not compatible together... So let make your decision mate.... Happy Flashing
Wow thanks for the update and quick responce....Just one more question if you dont mind.
Where would I find the Official Rom from HTC as I have been to the Website and you can not download due to Serial Number or something like that. I am located in England if thats any help.
You have been off great help

Ok... here is the rapidshare link for the HTC Official ROM 1.48.405.2 click here
And I also include the latest radio 2.07 as I Know it is a very good radio for HD2 atm ...After flash the ROM... quickly take out your battery and do a Hard Reset, then try to flash the RADIO ... it's also like the way you flash the ROM mate... then hard reset again and boot up the device Then take a look over the functions in the ROM... but it's shipped ROM.. so dont worry
Tip: you should remove your storage card while upgrading the ROM...
Thanks very much for all your help. At present Rapidshare is not allowing me to Download as no free slots. Ah well will keep on trying maybe it will let me in soon.

Oh no..... it's weird.... mine work fine... everything work in order as the previous shipped ROMs... I think you should hard reset the phone... take out the SD card... and see how it works again...If this cant sorted it out maybe you need to reflash or re-download the ROM though....and hard reset 2 or 3 times after flash... Just hard reset and take out the battery and hard reset again.. just make sure everything "clean" after flashing new ROM...
Ok... I give you the official link on the htc home page , so you can download the real Official ROM just go there and insert the Serial here HT9AZNW00968 then download the WWE ROM....
