Can't install ROM

I have got HD: ROM: 1.56.401.0 (43972) WWE -official
radio 1.13.25.24
and it is wm 6.1 pro build 20769.1.4.5
And i can't install unofficial ROM! For example dutty's wm 6.5 leo rom. And another forom this forum too. :/
What i am doing bad? On touch pro is everything going ok. but on HD i can't install it, because it show me error when HD is in bootloader and saying "Loading..." Thats all :/

have u used uspl or installed hspl 1.56
this needs to unlock ur hd to flash cooked roms

No i don't install anything :/
I will try to find this things what you write

you must visit this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217
will greatly help u. its quite easy and simple. once u get past this everything will look like a breeze and u will enjoy trying new roms

also must check this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3638336#post3638336

So hard for me
Ok so as i read it is better to install HSPL
Is some easier way how to do it?
Because here is a lot of files and things... So which one i have to install? And how

it isnt hard at all. check this guide to make things easier as now u r sure that u want to hspl ur hd
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3930436&postcount=2
may i suggest u one really easy way to do all this. u can fully unlock ur phone with software from olipro. it will install hspl and will also security unlock ur phone and it will also sim unlock ur phone. all by one software. though it costs Euro 14.go to this website for details http://blackstone.htc-unlocks.com/
i would highly recommend this software. its money well spent.
i forgot to tell u that using hspl on ur phone voids the warranty

... but i need warranty :/
so what about uspl ? is it different?

The difference between USPL and HSPL:
* HSPL is an user-modified SPL that you have to flash to your phone. It overwrites the existing SPL on your device with a "hacked" one so to say. It allows you to bypass the HTC certificate check and flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone. You only have to flash it once and then you can flash roms anytime.
* USPL is a temporary solution. It takes advantage of an exploit in the existing SPL and then loads a modified one to memory, effectively allowing the same thing as HSPL. However, since this is only memory-resident you have to do it each time you want to flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone, because this exploited state is lost upon reboot. With USPL you must still have the right version of the HTC SPL that is compatible with the rom you want to use.

yes i read this somewhere, but what about warranty?

yes i read this somewhere, but what about warranty?
// or when i do HSPL can i get my original HSPL oe wah ever to take my warranty back?
////now i read that it is possible

if u see this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217
just scroll down a little and u can see How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

Yes yes Now i install this olinex... i will try to install new ROM
// It is loading
//it fall down on computer but on mobile it is still going :/

do read this post. it will surely help u

[Q]please help me guys

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.
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721

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
ROM Version:2.20.707.1B WWE
ROM Date:10/02/07
Radio Version:03.07.90
Protocol Version:4.1.13.51
EXT ROM Version:2.20.707.101
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

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?

Upgrade to 6.5 Final Build 21234.

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.

thanks crapula512 but what you mean with the backup not ready to be flashed? is there any other step ?

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...
btw...you really like writing in bold letters eh...kinda makes us feel we are blind...

Wm6.5 step-by-step procedure needed to a newbie!

Greetings & Salutations,
I want to update my current WM6.1 professional to WM6.5!
I am very eager to work in WM6.5 environment.
After reading a tonnes of thread around at XDA I am even more confused.
And being a NEWBIE have added the ice on the cake.
Any Master out there who can help me out?
Please I want a procedure to updated my WM!

step 1:
search topics about USPL. u need to do that first to prepare your phone for custom 6.5 roms
step 2:
pick a 6.5 rom of your choice and flash your Artemis
be sure to follow exact steps as described in the topics if else your phone will be "bricked"

hi,
In my opinion 6.1 is more suitable for processor 201Mhz. But you can try shady 313 ROM.

One question...
How to choice the best ROM when you are new in this?
the first question is valid, it's needed a step by step for dummies, reading the whole forum is way complicated for normal people.

I understand your confusion. We all had to go through the first phase of reading up. None of us instantly knew what to do and which ROM was the best. Just try and find out, that's all I can give you.

...
click the link in my signature for
UPLOADS FOR P3300
there is an upload here for uspl 1.1.cmon (its labled wrong i know but cba to change it)
download it..
there i have supplied a dummies guide inside..
1 thing though..
i have wrote to do a soft reset IGNORE that..
(dont reset.. just be patient and it will work)
there is some cabs worth downloading there too.. i suggest you do..
Rn

...
as for recomended roms..
in my experience..
babbelut rom is the BEST 6.5 rom
andrew82 is the BEST 6.1 rom
Rn

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:
forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=517300
i dont have use this but i try to flash it today
forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=635028
is see it now for the first time.
forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=648771
Finally you will get all this Roms here by searching the board:
forum.xda-developers. com/forumdisplay.php?f=430&order=desc
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:
