Hi guys,
Im totally new to the android scene.. Just got the phone like literally 30mins ago. I am coming from the sony xperia.. gonna put that aside for a bit while i play with the g1 I got the phone used so, aparently i can already jump into the menu and what not.. Now maybe some of you guys who have already been through the process can tell me something.. Do i need to obtain a unlocking code from one of those sites out there. ( I'm att user. do not have tmobile) Or.... can i simply flash to one of the rom out here and get bypass that?
Simunlock is not related to the build of Android you have installed. You will need to buy a code or ask a friend with T-Mo to obtain one for you.
cool that was quick. thanks. going to get the code from http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com/
gotta start doing research on what this sucker can do. hehe
how do you know what build he has? American versions of the G1 can be unlocked for free.

As long as you have t-mobile
Or have proof of purchase... or just call and complain that you will contact the FCC
First I'd like to mention that I am grateful for all the developers on XDA working on these phones. I'm no programmer but I know plenty who are in all fields so I can appreciate what you are all doing.
I just wanted to create this thread to see how close we are to getting our hands on the HardSPL for Rhodium and any updates on development.
I've had my Touch Pro 2 for about a week and half now and already bored with it. The phone itself is great, but Windows Mobile 6.1 seriously sucks.
I really want to start using Windows Mobile 6.5, which brings me to why I created this post.
If anyone can shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.

Olipro and cmonex are still searching for mobile devices with hynix memory to test some stuff.
In short, don't expect anything soon and have patience
what
how do we know if it has that memory so others can help look.
just asked permission to Olipro if it was ok if I wrote a tutorial regarding this...
Uhm...I'll open a new thread with step-by-step instructions on how to help them out
Hope it will help them. Gimme about an hour to write a detailed tutorial.
*EDIT* Tutorial is up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4035499#post4035499
hmm this thread will be good for the usual "hardspl waititing posts".. when release comes, we (olinex) will just create the real hspl thread, so mods will not have to clean up for release (like for topaz they had to).
as to why this flash type checking is so important: on topaz the hynix ones really just got lucky by not getting their mfg partition corrupt. (no one got it corrupt but as i said that was luck) i want to avoid any such problems on rhodium.

Does this mean there is a feasible solution for Samsung based units ?
I am surprised that it makes a difference based on the fact HTC wont have made a separate spl for hynix based units. and rom upgrades will contain the same info...
can hard spl for samsungs be realeased with a link to the tutorial on how to ensure you have samsung?
darides tutorial suggests most people seem to have samsung anyway.
infact has ther been a hynix unit seen in the wild?
Cheers

Perhaps Olinex can make a version for samsung that checks on the sspl that the memory is samsung or not. to avoid bricks or other problems.
I have not seen or know anyone with hynix memory on their tp2 after checking about 5 different units from my friends and family they are all samsung. My vodafone one is samsung too.
it's great news for me
is it a problem if everybody have the samsung chipset ?
just letting you know no updates yet - was busy in real life
what is real life ?

Please can we have an ETA for the release of the HardSPL.
Hi Guys,
I can't put into words how much I respect and revere the information posted on your web-site and I apologise for asking the million dollar question. But I need to know.
Can we please have an ETA / timeline for the release of the HardSPL for our HTC Rhodium.
I hate my Vodafone UK branded HTC Touch Pro 2. It is red and so am I with anger. Joking aside I love HTC standard ROM's. The last one I put on my HTC Touch Pro was amazing.
Please, keep up the work....
Kind regards...

If you want to flash the HTC Shipped ROM, look out for the Goldcard methods. I'm not going into detail here because it's off topic and well documented else where. If all else fails cmonex normally helps via PM.

I can totally understand people begging for this. I nervously waiting for it to, but not to install custom ROMs. I'm waiting for it to get blackberry connect running. To achieve that I need to manipulate the device ID in the ROM itself, to fool RIM, let them think it's running on a proper device. But to flash this manipulated ROM I need HSPL (or does someone know a way to manipulate the device ID (HTC-Rhodium) in another way?).
However, asking and begging does not help or make stuff easier or getting it done faster. We all need to be brave and patient and wait a bit and let olipro and cmonex get this stuff done.
Cheers

Sorry to go a bit OT here but I am interested in your info about Blackberry Connect. I have just come to the TP2 from a Storm and one thing that is lagging behind with the TP2 IMO is the push email, would the 'updated' ROM you are proposing allow me to use the pushmail service from BB ?
Thanks,
Neil

Have you tried to change your AKU?
If NO you can change this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/Versions/Aku
and put this:
.1.4.3
Im really begging to get pissed off with all of this crap not working i have a CDMA HTC touch diamond from cellular south.I CANNOT FLASH ANYTHING, no hard spl, no custom roms, no stock roms NOTHING!!and there is no help to be found and dont give me the "use the search feature crap".it all stops at 0 percent.
Dude chill out...
I'm in the same boat as you, to my knowledge the cellsouth diamond is a DIAM400 model # which is the same as the VZW model # & currently there is no hardspl that works on our diamonds, but there is one in the works if you search hard enough you would see that. Carpet flaming isn't going to convince anyone to go out of their way to lend you a hand. I am being patient in the knowledge that someone has the talent to do this and I dont have the time to develop that talent so I am going to show those people respect and follow the rules of this board, which is the best resource you will ever find on HTC Dev. So chill man and if you want something done quicker donate some moolah or learn how to program for yourself and everyone else.
well....
It just really get on my nerves when i sit there looking for a answer and everyone is....blah i cant even say it im not trying to be mean just trying to give em a little nudge if you know what i mean....well at least i found somone who understands my situation.and thx for the info u provided....makes me feel better BTW what are u using...rom,phone, carrier, ect
I am in the exactsame boat the only thing is mine is a telus touch diamond
You all are probably trying to flash everything that has to do with GSM diamonds. head over to ppcgeeks.com. there you will find everything you need for your CDMA diamonds
Mad
I dunno, I think you have a reason to be mad. Take the guy above, Fresh. He just strolls in here and runs his mouth about ppc geeks having something. Off he'll go never to be seen again leaving every DIAM400 owner excited and confused. After we waste a day, maybe a week looking we finally realize that the person didn't even read the main post.
PPCGeeks has nothing, I am tired of people heading everyone on wild goose chases. There is a gross misunderstanding and assumption that this phone is just a CDMA Diamond, it is not, it is a DIAM400, yes it is a diamond that runs on CDMA networks, but when most people refer to a CDMA Diamond they are actually refering to the DIAM500(Sprint/Alltel Diamond), which is actually a totally different phone.
Quick question to foo392 does your diamond have a Micro SD Card slot or 4Gb of internal storage? Take out the battery and there is also the model number.
If you have an SD Card slot you have the DIAM400 and Cmonex is working hard on a hardSPL for it so that we can flash custom roms. With out that you cannot flash custom roms.
If you search look for Diamond 400 or DIAM400 or Verizon Diamond. These are your best bet to find anything remotely useful.

Hope this helps
make sure that you have .net framework 3.5 installed on your computer if you dont your install wont go past 0%
I'm jealous...
I'm kinda jealous you guys have an sd slot on your phones... As I'm running my energy 6.5 rom and have been playing with the cdma android build for my diam500 which is really coming along these days... You'll get your hard spl and then be flashing away soon enough. But seriously, I want expandable memory...
Hi you need to unlock it
Yea man, I bricked my diamond (500) the first time I tried flashing it. And I couldn't flash anything onto it at all. A few months later I tried flashing it again and it randomly worked, then I broke it
Anywho I just a new one from the insurance folks and I am having the same problem as you. It's unlocked and everything.
Go into the tri-color screen (Vol Down + Power +Reset) and make sure it says "security unlocked" on the top of the screen. If not you have to download the Diamond Unlocker which I have. But it follows the same flashing process so if that still doesn't do anything it has to be a connection issue. I can't flash crap right now and I'm anooooooyed as all hell!
LMK how it's going and I'll try my best to help you.
I totally forgot. when i seen cmonex that just hit me that u need to upgrade your spl. google search SPL .57 CMONEX and it should be in ppcgeeks forums. run that and then ur set. make sure you also have the framework. I used vista with the mobile device center also. Make sure it is unlocked too.
I'm in the process of Developing the HSPL for the Imagio. The last one I did for myself was back on the PPC6700 so its been a while. I've never seen anything like this. I purchased the Imagio a few weeks ago and love it, when I read that it was exclusive to Verizon and a HSPL would be hard to come by I decided to start developing again. Cmonex will most definitely finish before me however I've decided to press on because I like a good challenge. I was using the raw dumps from this thread but decided to use my own phone just to make sure nothing is lost in transit. I'll keep you guys posted on my progress. If anyone has any advice on these processors or any other information, please feel free to post please.
cool cool!!
Nice, looking forward to it.
I believe Cmonex has been to busy to start working on it, so you may finish first
Much appreciated regardless of who finishes first.
Who finishes first has my donation!!! You should jump on this and try to get it done first! Good luck! I donated for the Touch Pro2, ** great job cmonex! ** Now this one (Imagio) is one bad a$$ phone, I even like it more than my TP2, it's just a beauty! Also, a SIM unlocker and Radio (if it's not unlocked already, not sure) would also be awesome! I can't get Verizon to give me my unlock code, I don't have service with them, I whodinied the phone...

WHY WAIT so long - you need to ENJOY the BUGS that are
built into the CURRENT Version
LOL! Well actually, I have both a TP2 (Sprint) and the Imagio (Verizon) and I have encountered numerous lockups on the TP2 and none on the Imagio!!!!! +1 for Imagio
Good news.

Yeah, I want this HSPL so bad too, I said I'd donate to whoever gets it done first!!! I already paid to get it SIM unlocked, now I want to CID unlock it. So we need the HSPL before we can continue. (Need to learn how to walk before we can run with this bad boy!)
just voicing my desire for this as well. Imagio modding!!
walkeryan isn't working on it any longer
Then he needs to delete the thread or close it and not waste our time!
He just wanted a response and he got one, he never had any plans to work on it on the first place, ***hole.
So is anyone working on one?

Dude! You need to hush! It is not an easy thing to create HSPL! Esp from the scratch, he already said, he will try, but cmonex might beat him. So give some respect, and be patient!
I've been lurking and searching around for a while and it doesn't seem like there is a Hard SPL unlock for the World phone yet or am I just missing somthing.
Thanks for any help.

ok, Thanks for the reply, you see the actual problem is that all the SPL unlockers I can find all say that they do not work with the CDMA phones. I have unlocked my wizard a few years ago and my TyntII as well and know the process just can't seem to find the software yet. I've only had the Phone for less than 24hrs and am pretty fond of it and don't wish to brick it, so if anyone might point me to a specific page where they talk about unlocking my CDMA/World phone, I would appreciate it.
Thanks again,
