Anyone here have the Diamond on Rogers?

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.
Thanks.

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.?

i recently unlocked my htc tilt from at&t and i wanted to know if the internet and gps and all that good stuff still works. i unlocked it by calling up to at&t and i put my sim card and everything in there but the internet doesnt work, im guess maybe its because i had a sidekick lx. please get back to me and keep me updated...

Or maybe because when you unlocked your phone from AT$T and put in your T-mobile sim, you can't access AT$T servers anymore ? AT$T has a lot of great services, but servicing T-Mobile users is not one of them.

T-Mobile G1 Unlock

Heya all, well i just menage to finally buy a new g1 off ebay been trying for awhile now but finally got one for the right price but the thing is.. being new its locked to t-mobile now from what i have found there are only two way's of unlocking both are via unlock codes and from what I've read i can get it free from t-mobile but i also believe you have to of been a t-mobile customer for 2 months plus or something any you guys know if this is true?
The other option is to get one of these websites that give you unlock codes has anyone used these could you if possible tell me what sites are genuine and safe to use?
Another thing is there any other way's of unlocking the phone?? that i have missed? i haven't actually got it yet but its being posted as we speak..
Hope this is the right place to post this and cheers for you input ;D

T-mobile will give it free if your a longstanding customer. If you want to buy it, buy it from ebay. There is another thread in this section (actually more like 20, one of which has a link)

Yea they wont give you the code unless you have been a customer for 90 days or more. The site I used was http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com it took about 10 hours for the code to arrive, they have detailed instructions on how to register an ATT APN so you can do the initial google setup too. I think they offer codes in 2 hours now, but either way its a good site and I think its just over 20 bucks, like 22 or 23. I looked on ebay but it didn't have a good feel to it, for me anyway.
edit: One great thing about using it on att is that they wont know its a smartphone because its not in there system so you can use the $15/month dumb phone unlimited data plan and it works great, I have been using it for about 3 months now, only downside is att and tmobile use different 3G bands so it is impossible to get 3G with att.

Only use unlock sites who people here say they have used. Don't be fooled by some of them which are *very* cheap (as in, a quater or the cost of most), these will normally tell you *how* to unlock your phone (call t-mobile or buy a code, but they dont give you the code).
I bought my code of eBay, that way you can look at there feed back and you know that the testimonies on their flashy website aren't fake.

Cool cheers guys thought that'd be the case phone still hasn't arrived yet so until then...

Some unlocks can be done for free using a custom ROM flash. The operating system is only setup to bar off any non-TMobile sims, so do a flash, and bang, that SIM restriction should be gone.

I have never heard of any rom unlocking the phone, the carrier lock is much deeper in the phone, hence why you dont lose your unlock status when you switch rom's. I did a ton of searching before I unlocked my G1 and never saw anything like what you speak of, I had already rooted and flashed 3 or 4 different roms when my phone was still locked and it never made a difference, so could you please provide a link to this type of rom? And just so you know, in your sig you list phone OS's but what you are talking about is rom's as the only OS for the G1 is Android.

I don't think that's right either. I've heard quite a few people say that after rooting and flashing a non-tmo ROM their SIM was still locked...

He might be confused with something else because of all the smartphones I have had I've never heard a rom to unlock your sim/carrier. I wish there was though but if you think about it you would never be able to change your rom because you would lose the unlock status.

[Q] UNLOCK AT&T Samsung Captivate (SGH-i897)

Hi folks
New on this android thing - noob question:
Has anybody a prove link getting an unlock code for AT&T Captivate (SGH-i897)?
Want to use this phone in Europe with vodafone...
Thanks in Advance for you help

No solution available?
Is it true that there is no solution available till now?

No, there is no solution available at the moment. A couple of people have been able to persuade ATT to give them codes after many days of phone calls and support chat. A few have had some varying success with turbo sims that supposedly fool the phone into thinking the sim is an ATT sim, but that's it.

based on what I have read online. ATT often will unlock your phone when you are in the contract for like 6 months or a year.
I called them with my tilt 2 about a year into my contract. Tell them that I am traveling oversea and want to use the phone internationally. They gave me the code without much hassle.
Not sure if this is partially due to the fact I have been with ATT for years.
Online search also shows that ATT will often unlock almost all smartphoen for you except iPhone, so keep try them and if the CSR does not help, ask for supervisor.

The official requirements are:
1. at least 90 days into a contract
2. Have a post paid account with contract
3. Paid all bills on time.

Captivate has proven to be an exception to this. There is already a long thread about Sim Unlock. The bottom line is AT&T won't give you a unlock code for Captivate until 10 months later.

Hi jentech
have read the whole thread "SIM unlock" till yet and have not a good feeling when my captivate will arrive to contact AT&T for the unlock code.
I never has been a AT&T customer cause living outside the US and won´t be to become one so hope they could understand my problem...
Do you have an email contact for their support-center?

If you're not an AT&T customer, they typically won't help you with unlock at all. Good luck.

Not sure why there is another unlock thread, but At&T told me they would. Unlock in 90 days. I have no reason to doubt them.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

with the awesome tool from nbs11 i unlocked my captivate today on my MAC and it worked without failure with vodafone here in germany
Bye bye AT&T

unlock Captivate with froyo
today i unlocked my captivate with an app called Galaxy S Unlock get it in the market very easy to do also on youtube i am running froyo 2.2, version I897ucji6 and i am rooted (need to be rooted)

Finally got the captivate to unlock and accept the tmobile sim today. Everything seems to be working fine so far. No data on the plan but using wifi til I add data. One thing I'm really curious about is.... Now that the phone is unlocked and working, If I flash a custom rom (say cognition for example) will I lose the "unlock" ?
*edit* forgot to say how I did it... I just simply flashed back to stock 2.1, master cleared,rooted, installed busybox and galaxy unlock app, used the #2 method with the unlock app and it worked. PATIENCE IS KEY! ===> It takes a good 2-4 minutes for the tmobile signal to kick in so it may seem as if the unlock failed but it just takes alot longer than the at&t signal to kick in.

Unlock HTC HD7 on O2 PAYG

Hi Guys,
as some of you are aware if you purchase a 02 HTC HD7 (hd3) phone you can not request an unlock code before the 12 months of your PAYG term..... after 12months you would be able to request a unlock code.....
Now, as like me I cant wait to get my hands on this device, hence I'm ordering my phone from them on Monday 25th and unlocking the device on Tuesday !
I've used this site to unlock HTC phones ONLY and they always have worked, my latest one was my HTC HD2 from O2.
So, if you want to unlock your HTC HD7 (3) from O2... click on the link below and get your unlock code, please note at a cost of course !!!
ENJOY people !
http://tinyurl.com/34hpfgg

Thanks for this. Are you affiliated to them? Just seems strange to use a trackable URL shortener for a standard URL.
I have seen confirmed reports that http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/ works to unclock the HD7. Any confirmation these guys definitely work?

+1 for htcimeiunlock.com. Worked fine for my UK O2 HD7

There are a lot of websites that can get your phone unlocked.
Those two methods are some of the best ones though.

Hi, no im not affiliated to them, but I do use them and they work everytime. I got my phone today and unlocked it today using them.....lol.... I love it !!!
The phone is worth getting.....bye bye 6.5 !!! I have to admit though, there is stuff missing and will take time to adjust, however the user experience is amazing !

yes, i just unlocked my hd7 from O2 uk yesterday through ' htc imei unlock'

I hope you guys are right cos' i'm going to by a HD7 from O2 and rely on your websites to unlock it. If not, i'll be a saaad panda.

Many thanks for this topic. My T-Mobile contract is running out by end of November and not sure if they will have HD7. Even if they will I can't wait until then
I'm going to get it from O2 and unlock it. WAW !!
Is O2 one branded though?

How much is unlocking service from this website? Can't find the price there!
Thanks

@ curvyjomanjy: It cost me just over £16 to unlock from htcimeiunlock.
Paid by Paypal and received my unlock code within 10 minutes, excellent service.
The only branding is an O2 splash screen and an O2 theme ( which you can change ) other than that nothing.
Also O2 lock the search engine to yahoo, no google I'm afraid

O2 lock the search engine to Yahoo, or did you mean Bing?

The fact there is no option to change it from Yahoo, is disgusting. I'm actually surprised Microsoft allowed that under what is otherwise quite strict "Requirements" for using the OS.

if i get this phone, and unlock it, will o2 be able to tell? can they block the phone or anything silly like that? and if so what can i do?
and what would happen if there was a fault within 12 months, would o2 take back / exchange?

To be fair, O2 have been good with unlocking this phone through their own unlock scheme, unlike the Dell Streak exclusivity deal.
I've heard a lot of people requesting the code from O2 and getting it, but as I couldn't be done with waiting around, I got it down from a well known site on here RE the HD7 unlock for £16 or thereabouts.
By law, O2 can't stop you from unlocking, they can merely be a pain and not do it for you for free....so they're pretty good.
As for returns etc, they've been good with me in the past. You obviously have a few days to return it for a straight refund as well, which O2 honor where as some others try to fight this!
Overall, this is the one side of things O2 are normally very good for from my experience. Every other thing, they're a nightmare!

If I unlock it, how do I go about changing the network settings etc, does the phone automatically pick up the new connection settings ?

The HD7 is VERY good for this. When you enter the new sim, it gives you a list of drop-downs for the carriers....
ie.
Network settings
Please selet..
O2 Post Pay
O2 PAYG
Orange Post Pay
Orange PAYG
and automatically enters the APN details.

Well if there is a fault then you would need to deal with HTC and not O2 as HTC will be the ones to fix it. So unlocking it shouldn't matter.

i just bought new O2 HD7, and unlocked it using HTCimeiUnlock.com this guys are incredible in support, very professional, and charge you USD 25, but trust me they are every penny worth.
my phone is permenantly unlocked now, and works like charm.
thanks.

just used htcimeiunlock as well and worked perfect
great stuff

When I got my 3GS from O2 all i told them was that i needed it unlocked to use it when i go home on holidays and they did it for free
