CDMA Compatible?

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

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.

What is the latest HardSPL and ROM in this forum? Thanks

I just bought a touch diamond (US 3G version), and would like to try some customized ROM released here.
One simple question, what is the latest or best HardSPL we can find now? I know there are a lot of threads about hardspl in the forum. But just too many. After 2 hours of reading, I still do not know which one is the newest one and the best one? Could you guys point me the direction and give me the link of that particular thread? Thanks a million.
Also, about the ROM, I am looking for a ROM with original HTC looking (basically black today screen and black touchflo 3D, though blue is probably fine with me), but faster, with all the tweaks applied. And if possible with latest OS builds. Any suggestions?
I did search and reading a lot. Just confused with so many different HardSPLs and ROMs. Hope someone more familiar with this forum can help me out. Thanks!

SPL's & ROM's...
Unfortunately, like so many things, ROM's are based on personal opinion, so there is no 'best' or 'worst', just one's you like and one's you don't.
Try here for your SPL - both GSM and CDMA versions covered. You must do this first or you'll end up bricking your device.
Next, just try the ROM's until you find one you like. The one I'm currently using is pretty much standard (as you would like), but with all the latest versions of applications / software and the latest drivers, etc. I think you'll like it! Try here.
Don't ask me how to tell if you have CDMA or GSM device because I've no idea how to tell the difference !
Have fun

AFAIK there is a sticky thread about HardSPL !
AFAIK in forum rulez the question whats the last / best rom are disallowed !
just read some threads please !
In the HardSPL thread the first and second post Oli explains everything Who should use what HARDSPL ... so dont think thats complicated.
Please UTFSE and flash some so you will know what u like best !!

Thanks a lot. I just flashed the HardSPL and the ROM you linked in your post. They works very well. Thanks!
One more question, I am working in a high building, and my desk is in the 3rd floor. I am getting very poor cell phone (GSM, T-mobile USA) here. I am wondering if anyone can suggest a better radio ROM for T-mobile USA? I really want a better signal reception. Thanks in advance!

Help With WM6.5

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.

Alright, I am abit confused. I do that before after, during installing what 6.5 version?

please help...dont flame

i just got T-mobile..... and got the touch pro 2... since tmobile is gsm, which roms can i flash ..........and which rom is considered greater( ya know...all the bells and whistles)
ive already unlocked it... dont know if i have to change the radio rom yet... but i am unsure which roms are for cdma and which are for gsm.
can someone help please..
and...
is there anything else i should do before flashing the new rom.

There is no easy answer, each rom is different and meets the needs of different users, look at the descriptions, usually in the first post, and see which rom looks like it will fit your needs. Sorry not clearer, but that is the best I can do

hey skipper... its not really the rom im concerned with... im more concerned on is there any difference on flashing these roms with a gsm phone or cdma phone..

Your question has already been answered, there are threads here that are for noobs with flashing. READ THOSE THREADS.
Do not be lazy, your answers are out there.

Yes there is a difference in roms for cdma and gsm. Look under the thread for your device, then choose which kind you have (gsm or cdma), and look at the different roms

The 9.1 Timor Rom is pretty good if you don't have the need for Live Mail. It's been removed in that rom.

Trying to find CDMA Desire cook
