Im fairly new here too. I recently installed Artemis_Touch_Vanilla_4.02 on a vista pc with no problems. The whole thing is far more easyer than you might think. As long as you follow the guide exactly you should be cool. I'll help you step by step if you like. PM me.

depends on what you mean by "authentic". flashing a new rom will NOT SIM-unlock your device. you might however lose any warranty...not sure about this, i never cared =)
if you are flashing a new rom, you should use USPL by pof to temporarily cid-unlock your device. if you KNOW your device is not cid-locked, you dont have to do this, but doing it anyway will not do any harm. i recommend using USPL everytime you flash a rom to your device.
if you use meschle's ROM as suggested by leethedon1 (i second that) USPL will be included in the download. just follow the steps.

I am looking for a rom which will give me better response time than the current one. Also I am looking for a very good rom which is stable. One more question. After flashing the rom with a new one, if I don't like it, is there a way to go back to the original rom?

since i dont know your current ROM i cant say anything about "better", "faster" or "more stable". however, meschle's 4.02 vanilla (and also lite) is one of the fastest and most stable ROM i tried. and i tried quite a lot...

you can't go back. what you can do is flash any other ROM (including your original ROM, as long as you have it somewhere). dumping your current ROM is possible, search this forum. however, that's advanced stuff.

Question about Roms...........

From what I was taught in school, I thought that ROM files CAN NOT be replaced. So, how does this ROM thing work?
I would like to know as I am so confused, as I've installed TouchFlo3D a long time ago, but I don't think that's necessarily a ROM, because it's cab file and it runs through Xperia's ROM.
Any simple explanations would be nice, and essentials links would be too. The links are confusing for me to learn on my own.

Thread moved.
ROM's can be Flashed rather than Written To. The ROM is an area on the NAND chip in the device.
If you want to upgrade your ROM with the update from your carrier you can do by following their instructions.
If you want to flash one of the Cooked ROM's on here you need to replace the bootloader (SPL) with a patched one (called Hard SPL) that doesn't check if the ROM image is signed by HTC or not (amongst other things).
If you're wanting to so this I'd have a look on the wiki and read the sticky threads before you start.
Good luck,
Dave

Basically a ROM is read-only, that is to say you are not meant to put files on it and remove them again. However, you can FLASH the ROM, FULLY REPLACING IT WITH OTHER CONTENT. The ROM serves as a kind of installation disc afterwards, Windows Mobile is then installed on a secondary memory which is NOT ROM and it is run from this memory. The ROM is only used for Hardreset, where you kinda reinstall Windows Mobile.

I really like the costum Touch It Rom, but I am afraid of the bugs, so I'd like to know this:
1) If I flash my ROM, does it FLASH only my ROM, will it flash my Rom and also save my installations/settings? For example, if I want a clean ROM, do I need to format the phone first?
2) I really hate installing over 30 of my .cabs and .exes everytime I format the phone!
3) Does flashing my ROM to a new version require formatting the phone?
4) Is the ROM version the same as Firmware Version?
5) You said this:
If you want to upgrade your ROM with the update from your carrier you can do by following their instructions.
So How where do I go to update my OFFICIAL ROM?
I've gotten all of the softwares that I have ever wanted...thanks to you guys and thanks to the software I purchase
My next goal is to get the best capabilities out of my phone, (while learning this very new thing called rom flashing)

flashing
if you flash a new rom....(either custom or official)... you will have to install all of your cabs over again. flashing a rom will erase everything on the phone just like a hard reset.
if you want official firmware from an official source then go to sony ericsson's support website and download the software updated program. the other option is to go to the list of all available roms here on xda-dev site and just download the offical rom you want and flash it using the sd card method. if you choose to download and flash a custom rom you will need hard spl first.

Do you mean flashing it using the sd card method as in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
Which means backing up my ROM before installing the update?
Also is this the official link to the OFFICIAL R2 Rom?

Also, if I install the ROM officially, would I still reformat my phone?

the first link is to "how to flash custom roms"....if you just want to flash an official rom with the sd card method you do not need the steps for the hard spl. just follow Step 2 (flashing roms)
the second link you provided is for the sony update software.. you download that and install it to your pc. connect phone to pc with active sync. launch the program and follow instructions.

YES, when installing a new ROM, official or cooked, through SEUS, SD-card or RUU, your memory gets erased.

yeah I just decided to update my rom the official way, and it told me it will delete my data. So I just purchased sprite backup right now, and I'm in the process of backing up.
By the way, why does the version on SEUS say version 2.9 and the version on our site says R2A?????

Nothing realy.
This forum has shed loads of different terms and depending on the context depends on what people are on about.
ROM version and Firmware version are usually the same. I'd reckon it's whatever it says in the Device Information in Settings.
There's an OS / CE Build (or XIP/SYS) version which relates to the version of the operating system (Windows Mobile) on the phone.

Hi, I have elfin (HTC Touch) and I have Windows Mobile 6 professional and I want to upgrade it to 6.5 so can anyone type me a link so I can download the ROM directly because there is more than one ROM in the forum and I'm afraid to download a wrong one so please help me...thanks

First you read this guide completely.

I read it well and I knew big information about my elfin but really I don't know how to start please tell my what to do first I can tell you the info about my elfin

mind my sarcasm...but he meant to say...to upgrade your device without damaging it...you will need to follow some instructions....and if you read it well and if you are a sane guy...then you would atleast EDIT your POST and remove the god damn IMEI of your device....people dont give away their IMEI jus like that you know...its something only you should know...and jus so you know...i m not trying to piss you off cos you are as we call a newbie....so here is a breakdown of what you need to do
1. your device is an ELFIN...so we know
2. jus like you unlock your sim to use your phone...you need to unlock your device...(so that it becomes writable)
3. to do so...you would need to make use of a part of software called USPL and IPL...USPL does the part of keeping your device unlocked...and IPL needs to remain the same series....if you flashed a USPL of 3.XX then your IPL shud be 3.XX series
4. now do the reading on your own this time and discover all flavours of 6.5 ROMS available here....
btw i wonder why you havent tried the official 6.1 ROM from HTC

thanks so much, first i don't know even the difference between the 6.1 and the 6.5 but when i saw some topics about 6.5 and the people said that it works better with the HTC touch so I think in that, now i made a backup ROM from the one i have is that good step and i already downloaded 2 different ROMs from the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552371 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540)
but how can i make the device rewritable is there a application i can download? and what's your opinion to upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5?

Tht's a good thing to backup your Original ROM, should be helpful in case of errors, bricking or re-servicing. (though i forgot to do mine )

There's is no problem about being not rewritable or sort! Once you CID unlock and upgrade your IPL/SPL, you can upgrade or degrade your device to any ROM you like whenever u like!
About opinions, there are alot of people here and would obviously have their own different opinions and so you will have too! I'd ask you to try out ROMs yourself and use the suitable one you choose. If you'd like to have a stable ROM, i'd advice you to use the 6.1 ROMs and if you'd like to have newer latest builds, you can go for the 6.5 ROMs (which have been optimized to their best stable by respective cooks). In the end, its up to you which you choose as your BEST ROM!
PS: Do read if the ROM is suitable for your device, in this case- Elfin and few FAQs posted out by the ROM cook. Respect others work and last but not least Read & Search before asking Questions!!

Thank you very much I finally upgraded my elfin to windows mobile 6.5 and it's awesome but i still have one more thing i want to make it read and write Arabic language without convert the whole interface is there a patch? I already searched about that and i found a file but it's not an application and I don't know how to use it. before that in my old 6.0 i downloaded an application when i install it, it solves the whole situation then i tried it with the 6.5 but the start menu won't open after i installed it so i formatted the ROM.

hi, first of all, the backup you have done is probably not ready to be flashed, so whatever you do, dont flash that again or u will brick your phone.
arabic? take a look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
and finally, i think it will be better if u update ur ipl to 3.10 too.

what he means is....you may brick the device with the backup you just created. so if you wana restore your original...which is the one you have backed up now...you should and can only flash that by making use of USPL or HSPL...search the forum for USPL and HSPL...and you will be given guides...

Need Step-by-Step guide for removing Telstra ROM and installing the official HTC ROM

Hey everyone,
There are multiple discussions going on here, and it is confusing me a lot.
I just need a FULL step-by-step guide for removing the Telstra ROM and installing the latest official HTC ROM on my device since Telstra put a LOT of garbage on the phone, even at startup and launching the Opera browser.
So again, step-by-step is the best option and I am willing to donate $10 via PayPal to whoever can help me out.
Please reply quickly, I eagerly wait!

What Telstra Rom version are you running?

I'm running 1.49.841.1 (71528) WWE. It is the default out of the box Telstra ROM which I sort of hate (too much garbage and branding, even when loading up Opera it says Telstra).
I just need a step-by-step guide on removing it and installing the Official HTC ROM on it.
Waiting for more replies.

Read the stickies. They are most important.

Hi Steve,
actually the Step-by-step is pretty easy:
Step 1: Download and install HSPL. Your existing ROM version should allow you to do this with no fiddling at all. Just hook up the phone via USB, and run the HSPL executable.
Step 2: Select the ROM you want to use. I haven't tried any of the official ROMs, as I find the cooked ones to be more desirable. I only mention this is a step because depending on which ROM you want to use, you may need to flash the radio as well.
Step 3: If you are using a ROM requiring a new radio (which many of the newer ones do), and the ROM you are installing does not include a radio ROM (most cooked ROMs don't, but i believe many of the stock ones do), download and install the appropriate radio (please see notes below). Again, just connect the phone via USB, and run the radio installer.
Step 4: Download and install the ROM you want. With HSPL installed this is again as easy as connecting via USB and running the ROM installer. Don't worry too much about MTTY at this stage - you won't need it unless you reflash several times.
That's about it. I've reflashed mine dozens of times with no problems at all. As a footnote, some people on the forums have reported problems with flashed NextG phones not connecting to the internet properly after flashing. I have tried lots of cooked ROMs (and several radios too), and so far not one has affected my ability to connect to HSDPA. My experience has been that the 2.06 radios seem to work best, while the 2.07 and earlier 2.08 got really bad reception. 2.08.50.08_2 works beautifully with mine and gets very strong reception (with maybe a little more battery drain than 2.06). The only thing I have noticed is that the available bands displayed in 3G settings may not list the 850 band - this is cosmetic only and can be changed with a simple REG file, but really isn't necessary.
Please let me know if you need any help or advice - I'd be happy to help in any way that I can......

Hey,
Yes I have actually read most of the stickies, there is only one problem.
I can't really put all the pieces of the puzzle in a good order, step-by-step. I just need to know how to do it step-by-step because right now they are all over the place and it is a little confusing.
@cheesekeeper: that is a really nice post, would you be able to add in a little more detail on how to do it such as how to install HSPL, which version and where to download.
Also, where would I download the official HTC ROM, because when I try the official website, I can't enter in my S/N because it says it isn't compatible with my device.
Any ideas? Thx!!
Would anyone mind making a video tutorial on how to do this?

The tutorial on how to flash a new rom is a summation of all steps and is as step by step as you can get. You first need to see if you can get a copy of your original rom though, so you can return to this in the event of any problems and if you need to return your phone for a warranty claim.
Then as Cheeskeeper says you'll need to install hspl. Provided your current spl is 1.42.0000 then it is easy to do. Connect to usb and run the exe file.
Then you will need to flash your new radio. Most of the newer roms require either radio 2.07 or 2.08 - there is a radio thread also in the stickies. When you extract the file you will find a .nbh file which you will need to rename to RUU_Signed.nbh (if it isn't already), download the CustomRUU and put this into the same folder as the radio file above (only these 2 files). Run the CustomRUU and the radio will be flashed.
Then flash to your rom of choice. Again there will be a RUU file and a nbh file. You can just run the RUU file (again with just the RUU and nbh files in a folder) and the rom will be installed.
After flashing do a hard reset. When the phone boots up pull the battery out and while holding the vol up and down buttons in, switch the phone on and follow the instructions on screen. That's it, done.
If you want to keep to a stock rom though without changing your spl then you will need to use sspl.
You'll find all of the steps and tools in the link at the bottom of my signature. There is also a video of the process in the stickies.

I'd suggest starting by looking at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
This pretty much explains everything you need to get started, and has links to HSPL in the first post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
This one contains download links to most of the radio ROMs in the first post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577717
This has links to many of the stock ROMs. All of these are stickies in this group so they are pretty easy to find. If you want to try a cooked ROM instead (I'd suggest taking a look) you can find posts and links right throughout this forum - the most popular ROMs are always within the first 1-2 pages of posts......

Switch phone off, hold volume down button and switch on. It will boot into a three coloured screen and will show spl version.

Do a soft reset while holding down volume until u see the bootloader screen.
Report back to us with what it states....
Once complete, getting out of the bootloader screen requires another soft reset via the red button....

No, that's the right spl for using hspl. To get back to normal, either pull the battery or press the little red button under the battery cover, as stated by band27 above.

You'll find many stock roms here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577717
There is also a link to a Shared folder with many different versions. I believe the latest official is 1.66, but there are roms from T Mobile US going up to 2.10. For 1.66 you probably won't need to change your radio, but you will for the later roms. What radio version do you have?

Depending on the cooked rom downloaded. 2.07 and 2.08 releases extra RAM for your device to use and thus it's required if the cook decided to go that route.
I can send you a message privately about recommendations as to not offend cooks. My signature is one of the ROM's I use as another indicator to know what people are selecting.

Windows 6.5 or 7

Can anybody tell me how i can get WM 6.5 or 7 on my HTC Touch Diamond?
Where do i find it and how do i install it? I currentlly have WM 6.1
Thanks!!

Someone would tell you to use the search engine, but im also new on this board.
Windows Mobile 7 is not released until now. Windows Mobile 6.5 or 6.5.5 you will get on this board. Its important that you save your Files from the Phone before you flash it. Its also important to have .Net Framework 3.5 on your PC or you will get an error from RomUpdateUitility in Windows. I had this problem yesterday when i was flashing in WinXP and i tried a new installation. Get the installer from the Microsoft Hommepage: microsoft. com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6
IMPORTANT: You have to erase the space between microsoft and .com. You have to do is at ervery link i posted. Because its not allowed to post links for new members like me and so it works only this way.
Now you need HardSPL, a bootloader, from here: forum.xda-developers. com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705
I installed this version yesterday, its unsigned but it works.
Here you have a howto to flash HardSPL, Radio and Rom: modmydiamond. info/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=4&id=13&Itemid=26
Then you can flash your Radio to a new Version, get it from here: rapidshare. com/files/353046193/1.17.25.09-SR.rar.html - this is the newest Version i have found, but if you have Problems with it use 1.09. Users on board say thats the best one (but older): megaupload. com/?d=JRJVNC4U
And now what you really want, to flash a new Rom. Its works the same way like HardSPL and Radio flashing. You will get a lot of roms with WM 6.5.x on this board, but you have to look. The are all a little different. Here some examples:

If there are questions, reply in this thread and i will answer in time.
Hope i could help you and sorry for my bad english

The Diamond is not have the hardware to support 7. Plain and simple. There are countless of ROMS available on the board... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=430
But becareful as the roms don't work for both GSM and CDMA. Do some research.

These steps that you have to do:
1.Do hard spl 1.93 by olinex. (do MTTY also if you can)
2.I flash more than 5 wm6.5 ROM, This is the best http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678.
3.Do hard reset after flashing any ROM. Flashing ROM will DELETE all your data.
Wm 7 has not been released, But if you want wm7 theme, check this out http://www.mobilecustom.fr/forum/index.php/topic,4007.0.html. Good luck:
