Hello everyone. I recently bought a htc diamond off of craigslist and I brought it into my cellphone provider to have it activated but they could not program my phone number into it. I called the guy who sold me the phone and he said that it had be unlocked and has an updated software. How do I program my phone number into the phone so that I can receive calls?

This is so strange, I have never heard of anything like this.
Do you mean it is locked to some network? What happens when you put your sim card inside the phone? Does it ask you for an unlock code, or does it work normally?
Answer these questions and maybe someone might be able to help you.
Mine is a CDMA version. I know the it was unlocked and flashed, but there must have been an error because when I tried to change the msid to my number it would say it was updated then it would shut off and not turn back on. I flashed it back to the original bell rom, but now I need the mastercode to get into it. Unless I can re flash it with a different rom to change it that way. before I flashed it I could click on an icon that said phone codes and edit my msid that way, but now that i have factory settings I cant edit anything.
I am a metro dealer and I had a customer come in with a evo that was rooted and hacked to work on meto. I belive that who ever hacked it had changed MEID to one that was already existing on metro. The phone was maser reset to factory of the root and the MEID on the phone was reverted to the one that actually comes on the phone. Customer had bought it this way from some random. I told them in order for it to activate under metro I would have to flash it with our software to get the correct MEID into metros System. So I did a Metroflash (houdini) on it and prgramed phone for their number and phone wont even make a call no matter what I do. I have tried reprogramming it numerous times had metro Refresh device still noting I either can error message "to make a collect call ......" or you "must dial the are code when calling this number" I have even gone as far as doing a Fresh software install Via RUU method and reflashing.. Any help or ideas would be appreciaed .. Thank You in advance .

Are you trying to bring it back to the Sprint network?
no sir i want to stay with metro
What would happen? If I setup a separate ROM slot in TWRP and flash the Verizon software onto my Sprint G2, would it boot? Reason being is I am trying some flashing procedures and want to try running the Verizon ROM, change my MSL to 000000 in DFS, and have it OTA activate onto PagePlus. I've had it work with other phones and wonder if it would work with this one.
No, it would not boot and you may end up with an expensive paper weight. I would not recommend doing that. Yes, with the Boost Mobile Moto G you can flash the Verizon ROM on it and it will boot and fully activate on PagePlus.
You can still change the MSL to 000000 on the Sprint ROM and it will activate on PagePlus with talk and text working. No data, not even 1x. You can then easily program the phone to get 1x data using CDMA workshop or DFS. Getting 3G of course is another story...
Currently have sprint, I want to switch to straight talk, currently I have the OK3 ver. What step do I need to unlock/root or what ever to get this to work? Straight talk says it will work with their network.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
First u have to pay to unlock unless sprint does it but phone needs to be in good standing with them then u can do the rest
No other way around it?
Nope
