Hello all,

I looked at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910

If I want to perform Hard Rest (In order to return to clean default ROM 1.37) and then upgrade to ROM 1.93 (WWE_1.93).

Do I only have to download "RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1.exe" from rapidshare, backup, charge device, connect cable and active "RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1.exe"?

Or do I have to do something else before (i.e. install hard spl...)?
because it is not "signed" rom from HTC site?

Thanks,

You need to use a Hard SPL if you do not have a original HTC Diamond and want to flash a new ROM.

if you have a HTC Diamond (not CID locked, either by region or carrier) then you can flash official ROMs from HTC.

If it is locked, then you need to flash a Hard SPL, either a developers edition (which means you can flash any ROM) or a signed SPL, which means the ROMs you flash must be signed by the Diamond Team here to say it is ok.

Personally i have the Developer edition SPL, so i can Flash any ROM.

Cheers,

Where did you buy ur phone from?

For example i bought mine from Expansys, just as a handset, so it is not Carrier locked. so therefore i can flash offical HTC ROMs.

But to flash a 'custom' ROM, or a T-Mobile ROM for example, i'd have to flash Hard SPL (which i have :) )

yeh thats a Hard SPL that doesnt require the ROM to be signed, so you can flash any ROM from this site, and any HTC Official ROMs.

Let me know if u need help with anything else :)
