Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

yeah, HardSPL for CDMA Diamond is ready, just need to package it up into a userfriendly package. will do that in the evening.
edit: scroll down, it is done :D

though, I must mention, rebasing the SSPL was a real hard task, the GSM diamond was easier in some ways (and in others, not - anyway, you can get GSM version at xda-devs)...

there will be two HSPL's.

1. 0.43.MFG for the hackers, because otherwise, it is too old, apparently has screen issues in WM, which is easily fixed by a power off / on (suspend / resume) cycle. but it has mw, it has rtask, has lnbh, etc. etc. :D

2. 0.57 for other people, this has no screen issues.

(the SSPL is based on 0.43.)

thanks to tobeychris for testing. :D and it was fun to work with no2chem!

so stay tuned... & here are some photos until then...


***************************

UPDATE: HardSPL is released... now!

thanks to tobeychris and ghettofreeryder for testing!



Instructions:

first, if you have GSM diamond (NOT CDMA, NOT SPRINT/VERIZON/TELUS), this will brick your device.
to download a compatible hardspl package for gsm diamond you can go to forum.xda-developers.com.
but if you have CDMA diamond (SPRINT/TELUS), then you have to use this hardspl, not the one at xda-developers!!!

ok, now the instructions themselves.

0) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder.
2) it is recommended you download only the DiamondC_HSPL057.zip unless you want to tinker with MFG SPL.
3) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!
4) run DiamondC_HSPL057.exe (or maybe 043, if you want to experiment with MFG SPL),
5) follow steps in the RUU, and check on the device for prompts after PC shows loading bar.
6) it should go to tricolour screen now and say SSPL0.43.CMONEX.
7) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
8 ) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.57.CMONEX (or 0.43.CMONEX MFG).

NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
to enter bootloader mode to see version: with the device turned on, press and hold the volume down button along with the power button, then press the reset button with the stylus tip, then release the volume down and power buttons when bootloader tricolour screen appears.



NOTE 2: anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy SSPLManual.exe from the SSPLManual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is in SSPL, run RUU manually. i.e. you run the RUU on the PC, if it isn't obvious.


NOTE 3: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. no limitations on flashing ROMs or radio packages. also, this has overwrite protection, if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package will soon be posted.


NOTE 4: do not use this RUU to flash anything else! this is only intended for flashing the HardSPL.

enjoy!

Re: Diamond_C SSPL and HardSPL package coming soon!
 

This is awesome!

Many thanks for your efforts folks!

I'm definitely posting this link over at XDA for the other confused CDMA Diamond owners!
:)

Can't Wait!

Re: Diamond_C SSPL and HardSPL package coming soon!
 

Only thing I would really ask is support for Vista64, other than that this is awesome news!

Re: Diamond_C SSPL and HardSPL package coming soon!
 

Nice, looking forward to the possibilities ;)

-CC


P.S. any way to have the "security unlocked" banner removed, so it won't call attention to it? thanks

Re: Diamond_C SSPL and HardSPL package coming soon!
 

as far as i'm aware, all telus devices come with this by default, so there isn't any reason to.

Re: Diamond_C SSPL and HardSPL package coming soon!
 

yeah. thats always there

Re: Diamond_C SSPL and HardSPL package coming soon!
 

you guys are amazing keep up the groundbreaking work!

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Thanks cmonex and no2chem.

I have but 1 favor to ask of anyone. Could you send me a OS.NB that will work in a kitchen. I hav ebeen trying to patch the raphael OS.NB with the part01 and 02 raw files, with no luck. Thanks

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

sorry for my ignorance but what will be the advantage of flashing my device with this package ? ...

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Well correct me if I'm wrong, but applying this HardSPL will allow you to flash your device with any ROM or Radio version. (made for the CDMA Diamond of course) Being unsigned, you don't have to worry about installing 'signed' ROMs.

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

CMONEX HardSPL 0.57 is now working on my Telus Diamond!


yay!

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Yes, we are trying to get a rom cooked up now, having some issues, stay tuned

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

If only there was this for the S640 as well. im sick if telus's flaky software

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

probably solvable... ;) is there an S640 forum somewhere?



by the way, here is a diamond_C rom I made from a dumped rom
I hear there is no official rom yet, so until then this can be a good base.

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

And here it is on the ppcgeeks ftp

ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Diamond/Stock ...elus_Stock.rar

kitchen coming soon

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

just to be clear,.. what is this?

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

i likes.

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Yeah! but what this ROM include exactly?

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

It's the Stock Telus ROM, but compiled from the dumps off our phones.

As Ghetto said, we're working on releasing a nice kitchen with all the user friendly options.

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Can you explain how to do this in more detail i cant seem to do it

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Attach phone via usb cable.
Let Activesync connect.
Run the .exe.
Follow directions on screen.

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Nope nothing of any use at least.

ive searched.

the S640 is like the red headed step child of telus. im still waiting for my Rev a and GPS WM 6.1 update for this device that i was promised when i purchased it.....

still waiting.. *taps foot*

If i have to send this S640 back again they are giving me a new device of my choice. I was thinking of the Diamond. is it work the hype?
I know how to render this S640 useless in about 15 seconds so i basically can get the diamond any time.

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Um yeah, the Diamond is totally better than the s640. Depends what you need i guess, but on paper, it kicks its ***

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Diamond looks like it has some serious "Known Issues" tho, but it cant be worse then this S640 which i call weekly and complain about to get the point across that i want that update i was promised.

i have 4 Handset all on an active plan with telus they kiss my arse so ill see about test driving the diamond.

the nice thing is every time they give me a new device they let me keep the old one i have a pile of PDA's i have went through used, and hated.

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Am i dreaming, Somebuddy pinch me!!

cmonex, No2chem you are the man.

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

I am not able to put the HSPL 0.57 on my device.

1- My device are synched with the PC
2- I am extracting the .zip in a brand new folder.
3- When i tried to open the application (.exe)... i've got this message : "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)"

It's the same thing with te HSLP 043

](*,)

Anyone can help me ? Where I have to launch the application ? In the folder on my PC, in a folder on the device ?

I'm with Windows XP on my PC... Do I have to dnload a version of windows mobile ON MY PC ?...

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

My only guess is, you don't have .NET (whatever version this program was designed for, ie 1.1, 2.0, 3.5 etc)

Good luck with that.

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

I don't have ".NET" ?

What is ".NET" ? :scratch:

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
.NET framework for PC

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
.NET framework for PPC

Not sure which one you need, but it couldn't hurt to upgrade both.

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

cmonex is a very nice lady.

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

get 3.5 here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en


then it will work fine

(the phone already has its own version of .NET, just your PC is missing it)

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Hey guys, new to the forum and to windows mobile devices. Just updated the phone but I am trying to confirm that it did install but where is the reset button on the diamond that you are supposed to do with the stylus?

Thanks

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Open the back, it's in the bottom corner.

Re: Diamond_C CDMA SSPL and HardSPL package is here now!
 

Thanks to abovelegit et cmonex !

The HSLP work on my device now!

Now I just waiting for the new ROM :headbang::mrgreen: !!
