I don't know what version RUU that is? The one that works for US TMO MDA Vario is this one. RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe. I would look for one that ends with UK.exe
I'm no expert on these RUU upgrades, but would think the only reason I would concern myself, was what language it was in,chinese, german, etc. Unless you can also speak those languages. In know guys who have loaded different language versions cause they speak those languages. I would have tried the UK version on my US MDA. I know people who flash back and forth like a plain trip. Yes it's a little risky, but for the most part, even the german one would work on my MDA, although I would be lost. The Wizard AKA MDA Vario Tmobile, what ever, is same device same electronics. I tried many variations of this RUU before loading of course, when weeding out the right one, and for the most part, I eliminated the ones very easily that looked gibberish, and got excited when I read english.
Thats my two cents.. But keep reading on this forum, maybe someone will agree with me.. Two heads are better than one. 8)
Good luck

Any fellow canucks with the rogers branded HTC Diamond?
Mine's on order and I can't wait to start modifying and tweaking the ROM... Any pointers on what to do first would be great. I will share my experiences later on so others with rogers diamonds will know what to do...
Thanks,
hey mr_yellow
i'm interested to see how the rogers branded diamond performs.
i have diam100 model from asia with .05 radio, which works quite well on the 850mhz band.
I'm hoping for some miracle for a radio with 3G support. Maybe u can shed some light on that when it's in your hands?
What do you mean exactly by on order? I have not seen it on the website and none of the reps seem to know anything obout it. Anyways, I was tired of waiting I took the plunge and got the HD.
The HTC Diamond is actually in the system now... Official Launch is Dec 3rd (tomorrow). but I got a rep that knew about it and I'm having it shipped to me.
too bad you went with the HD. you're going to miss the 3.5G. 7.2mbit HSDPA connection!
Yea I just called,
They said they do have the HTC Diamond and when I asked about pricing, he said he couldn't tell me much, all I saw there, 3yrs/649$

Well I am a relative noob, but from what I understand from nunerous sources including Rogers tech reps the data connection is no where near the "maximum" speed. I also thought I understood that Rogers only has 3g and not 3.5g or is that the same thing? Anyways, I won't miss out because I don't have any data now. I won't pay the monthly charges for something I hardly ever use. I do use WIFI from time to time since I live in downtosn Toronto and there are quite a few hotspots around.
yep
Just got mine tonight.
Still tweaking. haven't reflashed or unlocked it yet.
So far, so great. Faster than my Tytn was, but still subjective.
Will update you as things go.

Nice man!
How is it? Did they add anything to it or?
Is it written rogers anywhere on it? (just asking haha )
I'm debatting like you may have seen on my other thread if i should buy it factory unlocked or branded from rogers...
How much did you get it for btw?
all good
its good so far, still loading things to get it functional like my old tytn.
Rogers mostly left it alone. Some bloatware, but just links to vision stuff.
I thinks its CID /SIM locked, so I gotta unlock before I flash anything.
no rogers logos on the device, just on the box.
really nice phone so far, gotta learn to live with the 4gb, had a 16gb in my tytn....
I'm Tier4, so my CSR quoted me 299 with a 3yr re-sign...
Rogers Name Display
!!! to all whom have a new rogers diamond !!!
i need your help getting name display to work on my unlocked euro/asia version diamond.
a thread exists already trying to solve this, see here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347882
as you can see there are a lot of wm users using a variety of devices on rogers having this issue.
please upload your rilgsm.dll file in windows folder or any .dll beginning with "ril", here.
now i'm gonna need help getting this working so if you are exprienced with wm plz help. i have had my diamond since May, and have been waiting since for this rom to be avaliable.
if you can dump the whole rom and post it that will be more helpful, as i can post the link in the general dev and hacking, and it will be pounced on by those user also.
i am so tired of seeing "unknown caller" every time someone calls lol
I think it will help the community a lot if we can figure out how to grab a copy of the official Rogers ROM (so that we can reflash back to stock if something goes wrong).
After that, we can focus on things like App/CID/SIM unlocking...
Name display at Rogers/Fido
I agree with Blazeitup123
I also fed up with unknown caller
I pay for the Name Display and I dont have it.
nanastas: Could you upload the rilgsm.dll
Thanks
Anyone unlocked their Rogers HTC Diamond yet. I'm thinking of doing it, sim unlocking and maybe flashing a better ROM.
Anyone tried already please post results.

hey how did you manage to get the phone for such an amazing price without data plan. can you please pm me. thanks.
Just got mine today. Nice change from the Hermes.
The only problem is that they sent me the french version. Not a big deal since there is no keyboard and I will be flashing a new english ROM anyway.
I got mine on the first day it was launched. So far it is really a good little phone (I am coming off using a 2G iPhone)
The tweaks I found here had made the phone even better!
why need CID unlocked, and SIM Unlocked.?

Hey everyone, I am a noob, I admit it, Well to this whole phone PDA thing. I have experience with flashing psp's etc, and now my way around electronics. But anyhow, I just bought a AT&T HTC 8925 Tilt TyTN II Kaiser off of Ebay. It suppose to have Windows Mobile 6.0 on it and unlocked. So I can use my tmobile sim card in it. Well what I was wondering is, can I upgrade it to 6.1 or maybe 6.5 and not hurt the fact that it is unlocked? Don't want to upgrade the firmware or whatever you call it, and it becomes locked on me! Also what is this radio thing I read about thru out the forums? Is it like what it sounds like? Radio = listen to FM /AM radio stations, or you laughing at me now and should update me on what it is, thanks

First thing you need to do is read the Kaiser wiki, all the answers to your questions are there without the need to start a new thread. Lecture over
Once unlocked always unlocked no matter if you upgrade the rom. The radio " they " talk about, is the firmware that operates the sound , camera and receiver in the phone. Different " radios " work better with different roms. The Kaiser has no radio per se,
Welcome to XDA, you will enjoy it . A great place to learn just remember to follow the posting rules
I recently bought an Orange branded HTC Touch Diamond, But its been unlocked previous to my purchase and i am using my Vodaphone PAYG SIM in it, Unfortunatly its missing TouchFLO3D. So im interested in doing a ROM upgrade, which im led to understand will get TouchFLO3D back on the device, as well as some other nice improvements.
I understand i can get the updated ROM from Orange, along with install instructions. What im interested to know is, if by installing this ROM will my phone once again be SIM locked to Orange?
I appreciate this may have been discussed already, but since this forum has thousands of threads i couldnt seem to get anything conclusive from searching to directly answer my question.
Any help is apperciated.
Thank You.
All,
Sorry for the potentially really dumb question. I have never flashed a ROM before and plan to do so if someone knows the answer to the following question.
I have the T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro 2 device. I gave the device to a friend using AT&T. The TP2 was unlocked by T-Mobile. Since unlocking, the 3G network is unavailable for the AT&T sim. I have done a lot of research and learned that I cannot get 3G on the T-Mobile device using the stock ROM.
My question is, if I were to flash the TP2 with an AT&T Tilt2 rom, would I be able to access AT&T's 3G network?
Thanks so much in advance for any replies.
-Jeff
I was thinking about trying to the shipped AT&T ROM on my TP2 located on HTC.com
A T-Mobile branded TP2 will not be able to use AT&T 3G. The only TP2 model that will is the Tilt 2.
I hope that helps.
It does. thank you for the reply.
Answered.
