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,
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.

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!

[Q] How do I eliminate sprint and HTC sense?

All,
I am new to this Forum and posted this previously in the wrong section
I am interested in eliminating HTC sense and some of the Sprint bloatware from my HTC EVO 4G. Can someone please explain how to do this? Do I need to ROOT my phone, install a new ROM or BOTH? If a new ROM is required, which ROM would you recommend?
Also, in case I run into any issues, I would like to be able to restore the stock HTC EVO software (OS). Is that possible? From my understanding, this would be possible. Is that correct?
Any assistance you can offer is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Zach

here is some info on rooting your phone. read, absorb and see if it is something you want to attempt. (its not difficult, you just need to follow directions accurately)
you may also want to do some searching of the forums for the rest of the info you seek. the folks here are helpful, but can be a bit on the hard side if you arent doing anything to help yourself.
Ah yes, the many joys of Forums. The more you read the more you get confused by everyones differing opinion.
What is the most comprehensive instructions available on this site for rooting an HTC EVo and installing a cyanogenmod ROM on it? Also, does the current cyanogenmod ROM support 4G?
Cyanogens rom does not support 4g yet. What you need to do is read as much of the stuff on here as you can for about a week or two. Especially if you have not rooted a phone before. Good luck.

My CDMA Question
Can you use any CDMA rom or just one made to the specific phone?

Rooted on 2.1-update1 and need help!!!

Recently got a HTC Wildfire (alltel) off somebody for nothing and I am looking for a way to fix it up a bit! I have rooted it. The current firmware is 2.1-update1 and I can not figure out how to do do more with it! I am trying to get it to 2.2 and eventually 2.3...even further if I can! 3.0? 4.0? Anything and Everything somebody could tell me to help out would be AMAZING! I am not a Noob but when it comes to this device I am! I currently own a Galaxy Note myself and this is a lil side project but I really need help!!!! Thank You soo much for anybody that helps!!!
AFAIK that's the HTC Bee and is totally different from the Wildfire. So Wildfire stuff will not work, and, looking around on these forums, I don't think there are any custom ROMs for that device.

Did you find any solution to this? I think we both have the same problem. Let me know if you find any solution. Thanks!

z4Root can root your device, try it - it's a universal solution for FroYo and Eclair.

My Wildfire is from Cox and it is a "Bee". Will it also work for the Bee? Thank you so much!
From my original post, I said I already rooted the device. My problem is, I would like to put a custom ROM in the device. I'd like to be on at least 2.2 or 2.3 with the device. Its almost useless the way it is. Anybody that knows any way to do that on this device?? (ya my phone is a Note, but would still like this one nice too...well nice as I could get it)
Sent from my Rooted Samsung Galaxy Note Running ICS 4.0.4
Hello! I found the firmware on the phone to Android 2.2 HTC Wildfire A315c (HTC Bee) that the description is identical to the HTC Wildfire 6225 / ADR6225 (HTC Bee) but the flash does not work because it did not fit the phone ID. Can anything be done about it?
Sorry for translate.google.com
