I am planning on purchasing a sprint diamond in a week. can I flash roms even though it is cmda,not hsdpa? i was not sure since it appears my hermes only has flashing for att usa and t-mobile gsm carriers.
no response
Just wanted to see if anyone had an answer on this one? I may end up holding off on the Sprint Diamond if I cant modify it? Just wanted to know if the Diamond needs to be a gsm rather than cmda to flash the roms here on this site.
Im also very interested im thinking that it will have to be separate roms but if some one could set me straight that would be good
well
it appears no one knows the answer to our question. my guess is you cannot flash roms unless they are cmda versons. I think I will ask the same question in the Hermes section since they respond when asked a question. looking forward to getting a diamond of tpro.

Sorry for the question. I just didnt want to buy the cmda version if i couldn't modify it. with this info, I think I would be better off waiting for gsm version in the states although it seems the touchpro is coming to att soon. it sucks that only sprint and verizon are carrying the diamond except for a 700.00dollar unlocked hsdpa version at best buy but no way I am paying that for a phone. anyway, thanks again for the assistance. Have a good day.
There are CDMA ROMs starting to show up now. I just released a relatively stable one a few days ago.
thanks

Check out Juicy's rom ..... 2.2 for Sprint on the way soon
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430486
Just bought a Sprint Diamond.
It came with 1.09.651.5 ROM and 1.00.00F radio.
Is this the latest out there? Can't seem to find anything newer.
Thanks.

sorry I dont have an answer to your question but I am buying the diamond next week from Sprint. how do you like it thus far? is the data network fast?
New Rom needed
Ok I have a sprint Diamond for a week now and I cannot stand the sprint Rom.
It is so slow, locks up, drives me nuts.
I love the phone and all it has to offer but I need it to run better, stronger, faster.
What ROM will work with a SPRINT CDMA Diamond?
Juicy CDMA rom appears to me, to be very stable. 2.2 is very nice, and he is planning a release of 2.4 any time now.

I love the phone so far. It's definitely the best one Sprint has had in a while.
The network is fast. Battery seems to last as expected.
Might have to get mine replaced though, one of the LED lights on the scroll wheel seems to be completely off- just a factory defect.
Much nicer than the touch.
Can't seem to figure out the latest radio version for it though.
apreciate it!

Thanks for the info. I think I might pull the trigger on this one. I with t-mobile now and just wanted to make sure the network was good. you hear alot of bad things about Sprint but they seem to claim to have the fastest 3g network. on mobile speed sites like dls, Sprint usually ranks number 1 ahead of verizon and att. thanks again.

I noticed most of these roms are being flashed to hermes that use use SIM cards. I was wondering if these roms are good to go for cdma devices. Specifically Schap's version
Thanks
do it at your own risk, the risk of bricking your phone.
If you do try, dont do a rom with a radio rom attached to it because the mogul has a different radio.
i wouldnt recommend it...
walshieau said:

Ditto.
Flashing even OS's designed for different devices is definitely a risky procedure
although, if it does work, than that opens up everyone with that phone to these Hermes ROMs....
but i wouldnt recommend being the one to try it...leave that to the person who just thinks itll work because their phone looks sortakinda like the Hermes haha
absolutely NOT.
The Mogul is based on an entirely different chip set... that phone is for CDMA networks, and while the specs are similar to the Hermes, it is a very different device.
You're going to have to use one from the Titan forum for the Mogul. Not here.
The user name pretty much covers it for me.

Here's something interesting that just happened to me today.
Brief story:
Last week I purchased a TyTn from a user here and when I got it, it had the screen alignment issue. Rather than fiddling with it, I just sold it as such.
So, I got a fairly good deal on a new 8525 from directly from AT&T. I just got it, powered it on and saw... WM6! Let me repeat, this was a direct purchase from AT&T. The version of WM6 on it is the same build found here, 17944.0.3.1. The radio on it is 1.48.00.00.
So, although the software on it is nothing new, I thought it would be something interesting to note that AT&T is shipping WM6 with their 8525s now... I guess.
I wonder when they're going to be posting the rom on the HTC website itself.
Very Interesting, call them and ask for support just to **** with them since I know ATT wont know what to do!
Now if they would just start shipping the kaisers we would be all set and has the two most powerfull phones on the market today!!
that is pretty interesting though since I think the AT-T rom out of the box had many bugs and issues. I know I spent a few hours getting the kinks out when I cooked up my custom AT-T rom. thanks for sharing though... as I say in my SA group

so have you flashed their bloat-ware ROM off of it yet?

Well TB this is interesting, no? Is one thing to purchase a used Hermes on Ebay that has jj or faria's stamp on it but this is official....
And @austinsync regarding the official ROM, the biggest complaint with me and mine is the radio... that dawg just don't hunt here in So FLA. Taking everyone back to the 1.40. The basic ROM, bypassing the ext ROM, wasn't bad... vg3g did a bad ass job on cleaning it up, major kudos. Am finding the majority of my peoples' complaints due to the 1.48 radio.
Thanks TB for that update!

Yeah, I was pretty surprised. And I've only made a couple calls on it so far, but I have to say it's not bad. The call quality with 1.48 seems good.
@GldRush98, I'm definitely going to "upgrade" this thing today. But, I'm pretty impressed by the speed and stability of the ROM so far. I'll probably do a ROM dump before I flash something else on it. Just in case someone wants it... for whatever reason.
I would like to see if the same exact one as the rom that's on this forum so let me know when you dump it please.

LMFAO!! I would pay to hear the phone conversation.
I just got mine last week but it had WM5.... of course it doesn't now!!!!!
I'm getting a brand-new AT&T 8525 (probably tomorrow) to replace my current Cingular 8525 with loose stylus (long story but the refurb they sent was crap so I complained nicely...)
I'll be interested to see what OS comes on it now but I am thinking of selling it new-in-box to help pay for the Kaiser...
I bought an AT&T branded 8525 on 7-23-07. It came with WM5. And, the AT&T store where i bought had just received it that morning.

I suppose mine could have been some kind of anomaly, but a welcome one. It was still shipped in the newer AT&T box that listed the OS on the front as WM5 with the "Coming in 2007, Windows Mobile 6 Upgrade" bullet at the bottom.
But I suppose all this doesn't matter a whole lot for me. I've already loaded up my own custom ROM and didn't really take advantage of this good fortune.

Hey Madcap. I was without a phone at the time, so I never got to checking it out. I'll flash it in just a little bit and see if I can find any differences.

I think your right, now my next question is do you think it will require a data plan, cause no other phone from wm has ever required one and I think the iphone requred one but then the fuze didnt also, T-mobile emplyes told me that the G1 actually NEEDS a data plan to work right because it has to be linked to your gmal account, if that was their exuse last time then we all no they will be lieing if they say that this time because we all know that wm DOES NOT requrire one, and also, a question I have had for a while is does the 2nd android phone that was released in some othere country need a data plan, and if the os is the same then maybe it really is just the android os

I've seen this working with my own eyes. Don't give up on T-Mobile yet, they're just getting started.
Well... title pretty much says it all. Is there any difference from the leaked 4.0.4 that's been around a while and a lot of ROM's are running off of and the new official one that just got put out?
I guess I am hoping there will be and that when the CDMA release comes around my phone will improve over the current leaked version.
That's the question... but I would like to add a statement in question form...
When is Verizon going to GET OFF OF THEIR ASS AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH THIS PHONE?
I am on the leaked 4.0.4 and while the phone/data connection is more reliable... it is STILL NOT "right" and I am tired of waiting. I can only imagine the hell the 4.0.2 people are feeling... if there are any left. Verizon has always been known for being slow to market with new gear because they test it SOOO much.... what the hell happened here Big Red?
Big Screen? ____Love it!
ICS ____Very cool!
4G ____SMOKING (WHEN it is working)
Sammy hardware & Finish ____Excellent

Yes for yakju devices.
Just bought a North American Galaxy S3 with LTE and the AT&T section has basically nothing in terms of ROMs. The International forum has many, many more. Why is that?
Is there something developers are waiting for so they can start making ROMs?
Also, wouldn't it be smarter to rename the AT&T Development forum to "AT&T and Rogers Development"? It was quite confusing for me when I was first looking for the forum.
One last question. If I were to flash the kyanROM or the Ultimatun ROM, would it display "4G" instead of "LTE"? The stock Rogers ROM displays LTE. I just upgraded from the HTC One XL and they had the same setup, always the same as the AT&T model but all the ROMs had the 4G symbol instead of LTE.
Thanks for reading, and thank you in advanced for your answers.

I do believe its because alot of the dev's are waiting on their phones to arrive. The phone just got released by mail,(not in stores yet). So I think as they start to get their phones we will see more roms popping up. I am rooted but I have yet to flash a rom. I am still running stock.. I am waiting for a bigger selection.
yea you are going to have to wait i would say about 1/8 of the people who want the phone have one. I got lucky when getting mine.
So basically the developers are waiting for their phones to arrive so they can start work on building custom ROMs?
That makes sense, thanks for the reply. Can't wait until I can unleash the potential of this beast.
yes, you gotta think the international version has been out for a min. now, and didnt have to deal with nearly as many shortages due to supply and demand kinda of deal. Here we have shortages all across just about every carrier. Some people got their phones, others are waiting until their pre orders come, some are waiting until they are sold in stores, I give it a few more weeks, maybe even a month and we will all get our fix of ROMS, im definitely excited on how they will get them to work across the major carriers here.
The default behavior for the icons on AT&T is as follows:
E = Edge
3G = 3G area, should be almost nowhere in the states anyway
4G = HSPA+, or 3.5G or whatever you want to call it.
4Glte = LTE network
Of course any custom ROM can change those, and you'll need to make sure you have the proper APN settings for your carrier.
Hope that helps,

I'm not a touchwiz fan either, but when I use a 3rd party launcher (e.g. Nova Prime, Apex, Go Launcher) it removes most of the annoying things imho.
I am working on a rom myself, though it is more difficult since none of the windows based tools function well at all for ICS 4.0.4 TW based stuff. I could install a VM of Linux but I don't have the time for that right now. I will get around to it.
Don't worry you guys will get tons of ROM's soon. Same thing happened with the I777 .GS2, started really slow then they blew up.

Most people just started receiving there phones and working on custom roms. If you itching to flash try working on your own rom i did and its very unstable but I'm getting there. It require more time then i thought. We should be good on roms in a few weeks.
