For some reason the downloads I got were corrupt. I flashed the ROM I wanted once I figured out what was going on.

Screen shows
Security Unlocked
DIAM500
SPL-).57.CMONEX
MicroP-Diam (LED) vB
PSOC-Diam STAGE_EVT v20
Serial

Any ideas why it does not continue?

TIA!!!

something pretty basic, are you sure you have your nbh file called DIAMIMG.NBH on the root internal storage?

I really like how the Juicy 8 looked with the white flip clock but didnt know if the 8 would work on my sprint diamond

I currently am running Mighty Rom 4.6 and its nice but there are some things i dont like, the sprint white flip clock doesnt exactly work (highlight wont go away and wont retract)

Help please

I would go with calkulin These seem to be the best without being overloaded and run smoothly with little errors or anything. the best tf3d port with nothing going wrong is in the calkulin roms.

are you trying to flash to a diamond rom instead of a pro rom? you are posting in the diamond upgrade section which leads me to believe you might be downloading the wrong rom for your phone. Try http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=68

(i see you are on sprint so i linked you to cdma)

There are several different ROMs that use Windows Mobile 6.5. Once you have unlocked your phone and reviewed the instructions for flashing, check out some of the ROM threads under CDMA TP Upgrades. ROMs that currently have 6.5 include MightyROM, Juicy's ROM, Indagroove's ROM, and several others. My personal favourite is SSK which is available in 6.1, 6.5, and 6.5.1.

Note that all the above links direct you to the Touch Pro section of the forum, not the Touch Diamond section where your previous message (and this one) was posted.

yay!! i successfully did my first hard reset/flash by myself with this tut.

I bought my friends new touch pro because he had it less then a month before he switched to the htc hero.

He had psyki rom on the phone, which i liked but when i called sprint to swap the phone to my account, it wouldnt work and the only thing everyone agreed on is that I would have to switch back to stock rom and THEN swap the phone, then i can go back to pyski if i want.

anyways, thankyou!!

I have a Nex-Tech HTC Touch Diamond. i am currently running the Mighty Rom 6. i would like to know which stock ROM will work for my phone, JUST IN CASE i need it in the future.

i did the Rom dump and saved it, in case i needed it in the future. if there isn't a stock rom for this company, is it possible for me to send the my ROM Dump to someone or easily make one myself?

Hi Guys!

I just bought a Touch Diamond and haven't activated with Sprint yet. I have a Centro for now.

Before I go ahead and activate the phone to my account could you guys point out the steps to do this right as I would like to unlock the phone for future ROM upgrades but I'm not sure if I do this before or after activating the Diamond on my Sprint account.

I just wanted to make sure I go by the book on this process.


Thanks a lot!

do not modify, unlock or anything to your phone before you activate it. Activate it first, insure it (if you're going to) then unlock it and flash a good rom
