4) HARD SPL

Download and Instructions HERE

5) Rom Flashing Instructions

5.1) Flashing device using Active Sync / Windows Mobile Device center (For the first time)

1. Install Hard-SPL to your device by following the instructions here.
   • This needs to be done to flash a ROM to your device which is not created from your provider (or HTC if you own a device with HTC branding).
   • If you get a white screen when running HardSPL, please read this thread.
2. Search this forum for the ROM, you like to flash. Then download and, if needed, extract it.
3. Check, if your Radio-ROM matches the new ROM. If you don't find any information in the ROM's thread don't mind. You can update your Radio ROM later if you gain any problems.
4. Make sure, your devices battery status is NOT LESS than 50%.
5. Connect your device to your computer and wait until activesync/Windows Mobile Device Center recognizes it
6. Last chance to synchronize and/or backup files. All files and databases will be deleted after performing the next step!
7. Optional If you want to save your text messages and/or eMails, use a tool like DotFred's PIM Backup.
8. Execute the .exe file you downloaded with the ROM. (If the ROM you downloaded only comes with an nbh file, download the CustomRUU for the Topaz HERE .
9. Follow the instructions and DO NOT disconnect your device until flashing is finished.
10. Disconnect your device from your computer.
11. You need to delete the old activesync/Windows Mobile Device Center partnership, because it thinks, your device is not the same as before... and it is right ^^. Deleting an old partnership is only possible, if the device is not connected.
12. Optional If you want to change the name of your device, do that now by clicking Start > Settings > System > About > Device ID. Enter the new name of your device and click on Ok.
13. Connect your device to your computer, create a new partnership and synchronize. Then configure your device to your needs and if needed install additional software.

5.2) Flashing device using Active Sync (After the first time)
1. Download your preferred Rom from the Topaz Rom Development forum.

• You may need to un zip / rar the file if the chef compressed it.2. Make sure, your devices battery status is NOT LESS than 50%.

3. Synchronize and/or backup needed files / PIM data / Contacts. All files and databases will be deleted after flashing the rom.

• You may use PIM backup. SPB backup is NOT recommended.
• DotFred’s PIM Backup back-ups your contacts, email, calendars, tasks, text messages and more. Download DotFred's PIM Backup here.

4. Make sure, your devices battery status is NOT LESS than 50%.
5. REMOVE SIM and MicroSD CARDS!

• Removing the SIM is optional, but removing the micro SD is a must.
• If you want to be safe, however, remove the SIM.

6. Turn phone back on and wait until it syncs with your PC.
7. Run the CustomRUU.exe or other EXE file from the ROM’s Folder.

• If there isn’t one included, download it HERE or in the attachments section of this post.
  

8. Follow the onscreen instructions and DO NOT disconnect your device until flashing is finished.
9. Disconnect your device from your computer.
10. Wait for the device to complete the customization procedure.
11. You may now turn off your device and replace SIM and microSD cards.
12. Turn phone back on and set up as required

5.3) Flashing device using Storage Card (Only if you have Hard-SPL)
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32

• You don't have to delete all files but it is safer if you do

2. Download your preferred Rom from the Topaz Rom Development forum

• You may need to Un- zip / rar the file if the chef compressed it.

3. Make sure, your devices battery status is NOT LESS than 50%.
4. Go to the ROM's Folder and rename the .nbh file to TOPAIMG.nbh

• This may have already been done for you.

5. Copy the TOPAIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
6. Insert MicroSD Card into the phone
7. Enter the bootloader. Instructions:

• Power down the phone.
• While holding down the VOLUME DOWN button, Power the phone back on.
• Continue holding the VOLUME DOWN button until the TRI-Colored screen shows up. At that time, release the button

7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update

• Press the power button to flash the ROM to the device.

8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

Thanks to mskip for the instructions (From the Rhodium thread).

6. Unbricking

6.1) Gold Card

1] Requirements:
- A working WM Device (Used to obtain the microSD card's ID)
- The shipped stock ROM your phone came with (Shipped Roms for HTC Touch Diamond 2)
- Qmat (Latest version of Qmat)

2] Format your SD card into FAT32:
- Go into Command Prompt and type:
format <volume> /FS:FAT32 /A:4096

3] Run Qmat to create a gold card:

Now you have a SuperCID which allows you to flash any shipped ROM
4] Go into the bootloader with inserted goldcard and run the .exe from the Shipped rom
