Could somebody please provide me with the original Telstra Rom from AUS for the Touch Diamond or tell me a serial number for a Telstra Diamond, as I bought mine from eBay and it isn't Telstra original
I guess no one might provide you a serial number! But you can do a little search on google or on xda and I'm sure you'll find it
Personally, I don't own a Telstra Diamond! Sorry
why would you want a telstra ROM? much better to just get one of the custom ROMs from this forum - you'll find they're faster and more feature packed (and work fine with the telstra network).
however if you really want it, you can get it HERE

Hi
I am planning on purchasing a XDA III , MDA III , Qtek 9090 (which ever you may prefer to call it) from a Chinese lady. Problem is the language for this device is in Chinese. Does anyone know if it is possible to change the language of this device to English? I would obviously like to know this before I buy it from her.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
I reckon, it is the same with all HTC PDAs: the language depends on the installed ROM, which can be changed by flashing. Advantage: being in this forum you'll also be able to get the newest version of the net for free (except time you spent).
Hey i just worked on mine. WORKS! I bought mine brand new from O2 which is a chinese version CHT. I flashed it to WWE Make sure you TRY to put your SIM card in before (if you are there with her) to make sure there's no SIM LOCK. If there is , you'll have to find a HELL way to unlock it. I think the IMEI will always and forever be uNlocked if your phone was sold originally UNLOCKED such as most chinese versions.
Thanks and hope it works!
Excellent. thanks to the both of you. Just had to clear that up.
Hello guys i just purchased from ebay a p6500 from orange UK. Does anybody know if it is locked in orange network and if so how will i unlock it? (i havent received it yet propably tommorow) also why there is not any p6500 section in our forum since the device is already out in the market? sorry for my bad english.
Anybody???? Help!!!
Nobody knows something?
Dont know whether yours will be locked or not but probably is.
As for the seperate discussion forum there have been a number of requests but I guess as this is targetted more at vertical markets than consumers the guys aren't too bothered.
I agree with you my friend but i think xda developers site since the begining is supporting all htc devices in the market and its quite strange why the p6500 hasnt a thread in this site. I bought this phone even thought i have a touch cruise and i want it for every day usage and not for my work. I hope a thread will be made soon and i will be very happy to help by dumping my rom to the missing polaris and kaiser drivers project.
Well sim unlock maby imposiblle.........cid unlock anybody know how to get rid of the orange brand and put the original htc rom? Im willing to donate to anybody that helps me!!!€
I've also got a sim-locked orange UK P6500 that I would like to use on other networks. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Where to begin? I purchased what I thought was a real HTC Touch(GSM), only to have received what I think maybe a Chinese clone or Chinese version of said phone. The phone itself is tagged HTC even in the battery compartment. The phone doesn't say DOPOD (Taiwanese subsidiary) anywhere on it but I have my suspicions. Aside from the roms and badges, is there any difference ,hardware wise? I know the Chinese versions can't utilize a 3G network. Is this issue Hardware or Firmware? If it's a DOPOD, will it take a U.S rom once I unlock the CID? Can I save the old ROM (just in case)? Are you tired of me asking questions yet? With the info bellow can it be determined if I was scammed?
ROM 1.11.706.1b CHS
model ELF0100
model# HTC P3450
p/n 99HDM030-00
I picked a bad week to stop drinking tequila.
I had enough of this, I,m going to drown my sorrows. I'll check back in the morning.
Appears to be a regular Elf model Touch?
It appears to be, but looks can be deceiving. Also there are tell-tale signs,( spelling and grammatical errors in the UI, missing features, etc.).What I really need to know is if it is, are there any physical hardware differences between a US model and an Asian Knock-off? I went to the US HTC website to check for updates and I found a rom update. After inputting my ser. number for the download, it replied that it was not a legitimate serial number. IF it is a Chinese version can I convert it to a US model? will I have 3G accessibility? Inquiring minds want to know.
Unfortunately, that I cannot answer--although if it is a knock-off, and therefore of no use--might as well try, right?
Well, yeah, I can try, but I can also end up bricking my phone if they're not the same. Can't I?
Hey folks,
I just made an ebay purchase for an A8183.
I recieved it today and the box barcode and labeling match the imei and model number, but under the status setting it says A8181. The back says next g and telstra plus the box matched the sellers description.
The seller is allowing me to return it. So everyone planning to scoop one up, make sure the seller sends you a picture of the status page under settings, and it says a8183.
peace
My Desire is A8181 as well. What's the difference?
Frequency for hsdpa/umts. a8183 is for att in the usa.
it's possible that the seller flashed an A8181 ROM. if you haven't done so already, did you test to confirm you could/could not use at&t 3G? what is the model number under the battery? A8181 or A8183? i mention this because if i used a UK ROM cook's European ROM on my Telstra Touch HD, it would show a UK ROM number. it didn't matter tho, i could still connect to at&t 3G. oh yeah, my HTC Telstra HTC Desire also says A8181, but i can connect to at&t 3G without a problem. the seller flashed a UK ROM on the device.
I got a feeling your right, because everything matches under the battery. It says a8183, but the status page under settings shows a8181.
The build number as I investigate show test keys in their tag.
What radio are you using? Its the baseband I believe.
Any suggestions?
Yeah I am using the nextG branded and I got it from the telstra shop, so it is legit, but I just checked mine and it says 8181, though mine has been rooted, did its have any of the telstra cooked in crap or not? if not then I would say it was actually legit.

Presumably you are using this on AT&T in the US. If so, if you can get a 3G connection, it's an A8183 and you are good to go.

Definitely AT&T, the lack of 3g is what tipped me off. But there was no telstra software apps, just branding and packaging.
Also the baseband was not the same as the Telstra specs, and the rom version was not found anywhere within xda or google. I think the kernel version ended with the word test keys. 1.21 and
But I got my refund and reordered an unopened today from A GA company.
Is it possible that the radio or rom was to blame for the lack of 3g. I think it can from my should I say lack of experience porting android over windows.
Caint wait... I have been having withdrawal syptoms since I did the return. Suddenly my free backflip is awkward and dull.
peace,
Hello,
a friend of mine (US citizen), is offering to buy me a refurbished Desire in US. Problem is that it is labeled "Smarphone - For US CELLULAR service only." It has Android 2.1, that's all I know about.
Is it possible to install a German ROM on it and is it than also working with German provider Telekom?
Are there different Desire versions on the market? All I know for now is Desire and Desire HD, but both are Multi Language.
Any help is really appreciated! Thanks!
