and if it is GSM why cant I update my ROM?
When i run Rom Update Utility i always get error, and yeah, i have tried many ROM Update.. but it shows the same error... I am so confused...:[
please help people...
thank you..
in a nut shell if you have a sim card its gsm. gsm in the us is t-mobile and at%t. more ppl worldwide have gsm phones which is why there is usally more stuff for it.

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,

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

Hey guys,
I am a frequent XDA user in the RAPHAEL and KAISER forums, but my work requires that I use a Sprint Touch Diamond phone which is based on a CDMA network.
I did a search of the site and read the flashing tutorial, but none of it applied to CDMA.
My question is this: Can I follow the tutorial and HARDSPL a CDMA Diamond and then flash it to any rom in the forum? Or do I need a special CDMA form of HARDSPL, and a CDMA rom?
Any clarification on the matter is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Daniel
For CDMA device, you should probably go to ppcgeeks forum, there's a lot of Sprint users and a lot of CDMA roms. xda-dev is more GSM oriented.
Thanks for the advice, Ill check it out, but I feel that XDA always has more to offer.
Verizon Rhodium "newbie" quesiton please help (unlocking). I have unlocked the SIM
Sorry if my question is too stupid but here it is:
I own a verizon branded HTC touch pro 2. (Rhodium) I ask verizon for the sim unlock code and they provide me with one. Im now able to put in my at&t card and use it, it works..
My question is: does this mean my phone is fully unlocked?.
can I know install all this great roms I see around, worry free?
or is there something else that has to be done in order to install the cooked roms.
if can install the roms and you can provide me with first time steps as well it would be greatly appriciated.
I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure unlocking the SIM is separate from unlocking the phone (HardSPL and allowing unsigned firmware).
if this is correct could someone please explain or post a link as to what HardSPL is . and perhaps where there is a step by step guide on what I need to do in order to install roms
thanks a bunch.
I don't think there's a HardSPL for CDMA phones yet (don't hold me to that), but the ROM development sub-forum is where you want to go. Read the stickies there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490
HardSPL for CDMA (Verizon, Sprint) is not out yet.
You can not flash ROMs at this time. Well, you can try... and end up with a bricked phone, but that's totally your call.
thanks everyone.
Oke, first of all I'll appologize 'cause I can imagine this same question has been asked several times within the forums ...
However, I've been reading quite a lot about HardSPL flashing an flashing cooked roms, but still I have some questions.
1. If I flash the HardSPL, and something goes wrong during the process, can the phone still be recovered ?
2. Apparently a couple of different versions are available for the TP2. I live in Belgium, and I don't really know which one to use (CDMA, GSM, ...)
I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks in advance
Nick
Welcome aboard
To know if you have a TP2 GSM or CDMA is very easy:
If you have a SIM card most likely you have a GSM
If your TP2 does not need a SIM card most likely you have a CDMA

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
