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'm thinking of upgrading to a better rom for my CDMA diamond but I've never done it and the tutorial is for non CDMA phones. Can anyone tell me WHICH ROMS will work on CDMA if any, and what to expect? I also dont understrand fully how the upgrade will effect my carrier specific functions on the phone like Data, SMS/MMS and Calls. I use Cellular South as my carrier and I never see anything about them on the forums. Its usually sprint or alltell when discussing CDMA phones. Sorry for the noob questions but how else you gonna learn right? Now can anyone help?
what means cdma?
CDMA mena sit doesnt take a sim card like GSM phones. Its a different network. I'm sure its way more technical than that but thats the depth of my knowledge
check out ppcgeeks.com, the majority of the roms over there are cdma roms

Thnaks, That helps alot!
Anyone care to shed light on the carrier specific stuff?
The CDMA Diamond has not been very popular, so XDA-Developers did not create a dedicated subforum for it like we did for the CDMA Raphael.
I suggest following the advice given earlier; check out PPCGeeks.com.
Hey there....i was wondering if this phone will be unlockable to work on other CDMA networks such as telus or bell in canada? If it is unloackable...will the 3g work and once we do get 4g towers will it work then?
Im really interested in getting the phone but i dont wanna get it and not work.
the only way to get your cdma device to work on a different network is to get the carrier to add your esn/meid number to their dadabase and for you to have the correct prl. pm me if you have any questions.
ok thanx and if u hear of aynthing one being able to make it work in canada let me know if you can
Hey guys, new to the GS3. Well, will be getting one in a week lol. I'm going with the US Cellular version. I am a little confused on which ROMs/root methods I'll need to use. All I see are VZW, Sprint, T-Mobile, but no mention of a US Cellular version. Are all phones the same?
I think ur up there with cspire on that one. As in no section for you here. You can use the root method for the other US GS3s. The custom recoveries are all compatible between them. as far as roms go they are easy to port between the us s3's and you might want to check out rootzwiki I believe there's a section there for your version
Thanks for the quick reply
I was under the impression that this model had a 4G Lte capable radio n it and the new cricket operates on AT&T bands. However I think all im getting is HSPAP when i check the about section. Is there anything I need to do to hop over to 4G or is it possible that I was sold a different model.? Any help is appreciated thanks in advance.
