Ok I have read.. and read and read about upgrading roms and hard spl etc

I have never done this before so am a total newbie

I read that I should get Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex SIGNED from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402
I saw that others were confused here but it seems that the file I needed was the 'top one' Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip
I downloaded that and ran the installation... during this installation it stated it was upgrading from 3.97 to 3.0 (or similar..)
Anyway on the multi colour screen it now says I have 3.0 olinex

I downloaded the radio Radio v1.00.25.05 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956

when I run it it stays on the screen with the loading bar and eventually fails (error 262 update error).. the phone always reboots correctly

.. I downloaded RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.0 0.25.05_Ship.exe
I tried to run this and again it all stopped at the status bar point at 0%
The phone recovered fine..

my multi colour screen now shows the following..

DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.30.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (Led) v11

PSOC-DIAM STAGE_PVT v0x30


I know that a lot of people have put a lot of effort into developing these roms and I am gratefull.. but i am confused.
My phone works but i would like it to work at its optimum. The sheer amount of threads and files is a bit overwhelming.

Can someone explain simply (and directly) what i need here. or link me to the files I would need to sort this out.

Like I said.. i have read these forums. ... it got me to this point.

I think you have to install an unsigned HARD SPL.
Olinex one is for SIGNED ROMS, so install HARD SPL 1.24

Right..
thanks for the replies
this is typical of what confuses me though..
One reply says to get HARD SPL 1.24 and the other HARD SPL 1.40

I cant see the 1.40 version on here (A link to it would be wonderful) .. and when I tried to use the 1.24 version the phone again does nothing.. the status bar stays at 0% and I get the error
Error 262 update error

The 1.24 file I used was from here

Hard-SPL 1.40 is what I used (as did a lot of other people). But the link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705. It is the Unsigned developer edition. After installing this, you should be able to flash any OS Rom or radio ROM you desire (for the diamond, that is). The thread for this file is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950.
