I am new to this. I am a Bell customer in Ontario and I don't want to brick my Diamond and want to unlock it. I need to know if it's CDMA or GSM is that correct? Can anyone help?
I think the diamond by bell is cdma because It's the model with the round corners, and that's CDMA.
Bell is CDMA for sure.

Hey guys. Just wondering some things here, and can't get an answer anywhere. These same questions are posted all over the web, so please lend a helping hand.
So, there is already one CDMA Version of the Diamond released to Telus, and soon to be Verizon and Sprint. Now heres the question. If I were to buy a CDMA Diamond off the web, one that is used on Telus, can it be used for Alltel, Sprint, or Verizon?
If so, would it be possible to make a ROM to go along with these carriers? I see that there is already a Diamond Kitchen available, so what would have to be done to get one of these phones to work on these carriers? Or is it already possible?
Thanks for any help guys.
I think the rom would not help because it is hardware. Not too sure though.
u can unlock it but alot of good that will do since its cmda you have to give sprint/verizon your esn and they will have to allow your phone for use on their network and as far as i know they dont allow unlocked phones even if its the same model as one they carry since the esns have to be sprint esns. if im wrong someone feel free to correct me.
verizon said they will open their network so when that happens yes you can.
the rest no.
and telus has NOT released the diamond as of yet.
telus is launching this little cdma beauty aug 14th. my question is this:WILL THE CURRENT ROMS AVAILABLE WORK ON THIS DEVICE
sprint will let you activate any phone, they just have to load your esn into there system
You can't use a WCDMA Diamond on CDMA networks because of its hardware.
The CDMA version has got a different hardware for make it work on CDMA networks...
I think that actual ROMs for WCDMA Diamond will work on CDMA version... the software part that controls radio hardware is the Radio ROM.
I have a T-mobile Touch Pro2 that I want to use on Verizon. I have read about unlocking GSM on the Verizon Touch Pro2. Is it possible to unlock CDMA on the GSM Touch Pro2 from T-mobile? I have a donor phone I can use the MEID from. I don't care if the GSM radios get disabled. Could I use QPST to write the MEID and enable the CDMA radios and then flash with a Verizon cooked ROM?
Thanks!
No, it's not possible, sorry. There are some hardware differences (possibly the antenna ?).
The CDMA phones are designed to work on the GSM wavebands (via roaming) as well as the CDMA bands. But the GSM phones are designed to work only on the GSM bands.
If you flash a CDMA phone to your GSM phone, then you will permanently brick it.
thanks for your reply. i'll put the phone on ebay.

Hey all, purchased a sealed One V from a guy on a PC forum. He said it's CDMA.
Now I thought Virgin US was GSM, and Virgin EU was CDMA?
Is he probably right? If so, which would be better in the US?
I was thinking most of you on here have the GSM model ROMS, etc. So hopefully mine is still root-friendly..
Virgin USA is cdma. And as far as I know Europe doesn't have any cdma networks.
