Hey, I want to update my phone with the 6.5 ROM, to try it out and all that good stuff. I have this version of the Touch Diamon.
http://www.telusmobility.com/on/pcs/handset_htc_p3100.shtml
I am wondering what file I need to do this. And are there any steps to installing it, or can I just go ahead and install?
Thanks.
you have a cdma diamond. ppcgeeks.com is going to be the best bet as most information there is for cdma and xda is mostly gsm.
BEWARE

i don't know about your network. you have to find out which network are u using. if it is cdma or gsm.
if it is gsm , then u can flash from this forum but if it is from a cdma company,
better you take a look in ppcgeeks.com

yep both websites have it. just type hard spl, flash, as keywords and you'll get tons of tutorials
what ever you do make sure the hard-spl you use is for cdma!
So is my EVDO CDMA or GSM?

EDVO is CDMA
Try Calkulin's ROMs. He cooks mostly for CDMA.

i doubt it Removes / changes the CID or the Security Level without the radio being patched.
@walshieau
fair enough, It also not supposed to "unlock" 850MHz bands for so called "tri-band" Diamonds missing 850MHz antenna all the way
If this radio removes regional protection, then it worth to investigate. We need more info.

So basically Diamond in India which is 2G rite .., can be flashed with all ROMS now ..
I haven't got the device yet so unsure .. , Indian phones lack 3g Hardware is that correct ?
yes and supposedly not but no way to test without 3g =p
Hmm so have you tried flashing any ROMS based on 3g radio ?
yes...........
What is the 3G Rom you are using ?

I bought the North American Version of the Diamond (lil bit thicker and with NA 3G Bands) and I'm wondering if these offerings will work with it without bricking it...
I had a previous bad experience flashing an Elf ROM onto my Elfin, which bricked it. I need to be sure this time. I searched the forum and google but could not come up with an answer...
Thanks for your help...
Btw I mean the North American GSM version of the Diamond. Not the Victor (CDMA:Sprint, Telus and Bell)
I flashed mine with no problem at all, just make sure you HARD-SPL your diamond first.

Which ROM have you flashed?
I just got my U.S. 3G Diamond also.Please let me know which ROM work's the best,also which Radio is best,THANKS
I bought a north american version of the Touch Diamond....I have updated it at least 20 times,tried out different roms....and still kicking.....all you gotta do is follow the steps.
-I used Olipro´s unlock tool and NO problem whatsoever.
If you have any questions just shoot me a PM.
See ya.
I currenly use PDAMOBIZ rom, in my personal opinion is the best of all the roms (I tried almost everyone of them)

Will inevitably try others and I advise you to do the same. As it says it the ROM flashing sticky there is no BEST ROM... it's all a personal choice...

Hey.. i am coming from US sprint CDMA version of the diamond... many of these roms look great, but i am curious as to if they will work with the CDMA version.. Has anyone tried it yet or is there a guide on how to do this? Thanks
I guess the rom itself should work.
What doesn't work is flashing the radio or SPL.
That will brick your device for sure.
Cya,
Viper BJK
thanks viper.. so i am just curious.. has any CDMA users tried this yet?? thanks guys for the help..
the GSM roms will not work.
you will be in the same boat as users before you. stuck in boot loader.
use a rom thats made for CDMA devices, they are two different devices compleetly.
ok thanks juggalo.. i thought they didn't work, but after searching I found some hints that they should.. just never any confirmation on it actually being done.. well thanks for clearing this up..
users have tried to use GSM roms. it just messes there device up.
Mhmm ok Good to know.
I'm already having a look at CDMA radio and that one is completely different.
As for OS I thought it's just WM standard. But it seems it isn't.
Thanks for info, Juggalo_X

in therory yes it is the same os. but the drivers for the radio and the SIM and such are different. causes it to not boot.
so are there any CDMA Radio's/ROMs out there?
most don't say whether they are GSM or CDMA...
This is the only ROM that i have seen so far on xda that is make for CDMA Diamond for both the Telus and Sprint version.

Ok, I have a verizon vercion so I take it its cdma. So I imagine I can only use cdma roms even do I actually use gsm, right?
Also I am thinking of flashing 6.5 shipped rom from htc thats in wiki. Can I?
one last question.
When u see people who post cdma roms for sprint...does that mean I cant use it?
thanks

A cdma rom will not load on a gsm device, it will hang at the boot screen or give you a great looking brick. same goes for a gsm rom on a cdma device
