I just got a Diamond last week and have been using it on T-Mobile in the United States, and it's great and all but I don't think I ever got Data to work... But that's irrelevant now, because my family just suddenly switched my plan to ATT after being on T-Mobile for 10 years, so now I need to switch my Diamond to an ATT network. I put the SIM card in, and the Diamond asked me if I wanted to change settings and I said yes. I restarted the phone, but I still can't get a connection, I have no service. Please help -- what should I do to get this phone going for calling and texting, and then switching my old number over? I'm not concerned about Data just yet.
Try running the Connection Setup wizard again. Mine worked fine on ATT after it automatically configured it.
Yeah I tried running it again, still nothing. Next to the little signal indicator, all I've got is the exclamation point. Do I need to somehow delete old settings?
One thing I've done after flashing and after the setup has run is change the following: Settings/Personal/Phone/Band -- Set network type to GSM, and band to UMTS(850+1900)+GSM(850+1900). I'm not sure if it makes a difference though, and I don't really know what settings the Connection Setup changes. Maybe the band settings will work for you?
That was the first thing I tried. I just got off the phone with ATT for 2 or so hours, and their solution was to visit a local store. I'm going to try this tommorow. In the mean time I'm stuck using some LG free phone

How does your Diamond run UMTS 850/1900? I know they unlocked 850mhz GSM, I didn't know UMTS was unlocked as well...

No **** huh? Where did you get your Diamond? Does 3G work perfectly in the states?
t-mobile to ATT
I just went from t-mobile to att.
i just popped the att sim card in and it configured it to att automatically. I also updated the rom which allows you to get a GREAT signal with att. Before the update ROM my signal was spotty. Where i got 1 bar i get 4 now.
Good luck ...it should work. But!!! no 3G....however its fast enough for me for what i use it for. IM very happy with my Diamond.

That's just what the setting says ... the last part of it (GSM 850+1900) is what gets used.
DrSilvermorm, you might want to try flashing the 1.93 ROM with the .05 radio. It'll only take you 15 minutes, instead of hours for the store. I went from 1-2 bars to 4 bars in some areas with the radio update, and my connection is more stable than it was in 1.37.

Umm, no, a setting doesn't "just say" UMTS 850/1900... The Diamond has been advertised with the new 850mhz GSM band, but everywhere it says it only has 900/2100mhz UMTS band. For there to be a setting for 850/1900 contradicts everything we've seen about the Diamond.

It was discovered a couple weeks ago that the Diamond is actually quad band, and that the original ROMs had simply locked the 850 band (for reasons only known to HTC). The first hint of this was the release of the 1.93 Hong Kong ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410720
The setting for GSM 850+1900 does in fact work.
Well, it only said this in my settings, I wasn't actually getting UMTS or GSM, for that matter. I went to the ATT store today and they were very impressed to see my Diamond the employee ran to the back to show his manager. I told them about my dilemma and they said that in Cincinnati (where I live), ATT runs exclusively on the 850 band.
I figured, duh, all I need to do is flash my ROM like so many of us have done to enable 850. I shouldn't have expected it to work, depsite what it says in my phone's settings, because I have yet to flash my ROM at all.
However, I am totally new to Windows Mobile and flashing ROM presents an even bigger challenge to me. All this talk about hardSPLs and cooked ROMS and .NET frameworks has gotten me very confused. I couldn't even get Windows Mobile Device Manager to install properly last week when I was on T-Mobile and trying to install some emulators, so naturally, I'm very frustrated . I'm very tempted to just sell my Diamond and go get an iPhone 3G, but I think I still have not lost hope yet.
Is there a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for flashing my ROM to a 850-enabled version with vista that anyone could point me to? This would be very very much appreciated! I don't want my $700 investment to go to waste so soon.
Edit: After using the excellent "search" feature of these forums (sorry forum veterans) I have found I promising guide that I will employ shortly, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406968. I will let you know of the results when I am done. I think I am going to try to flash to the ROM that GeckoDev recommended, if I can find it. Thanks friends!

That's NOT my question! I'm 100% aware the ROM has unlocked 850mhz GSM, we've been over this a million times. But 850/1900mhz UMTS is for 3G, and I've never seen a Diamond working with 3G in the states. THAT's what I'm asking about, the GSM bands have never been a question.
Well Silverworm, good luck. If this is the site you found in that thread, this is the one I've checked out when learning how to flash ROMs.

Yup, that's the one, thank you. So far though I haven't been able to get past the Hard SPL step though. Every time I run the ROMUpdateUtility all I manage to do is soft-reset my phone and get ERROR: 260 CONNECTION on the utility. I can't get past 0% on the update utility, and it tells me I should check to see if it's plugged in. It is indeed plugged in, directly to my laptop, and not to my USB hub. It is even able to tell me what my current ROM is, so I don't see how it can question whether or not the Diamond is plugged in. What am I doing wrong?
I establish ActiveSync everytime I plug my Diamond into my laptop, but there was one note in the how-to guide that was peculiar to me: *Make sure the activesync icon is be green (finished synchronizing). On my windows vista business OS, I don't see an activesync icon in my system tray, even though I establish activesync everytime I plug in my Diamond. Is this part of the problem? If so, what should I do?
I've tried both Olipro's 1.20 and Des's CrashProof SPL. Both had the same problem. Also, I couldn't successfully enter the bootloader to check my SPL. The guide said to press the power, camera, and reset buttons at once, but there is no camera button to my knowledge. I searched on the forums and somewhere else I read that you just need to press volume down and reset, but for the few times I tried this this just soft-reset my Diamond...
As for your question about why it has 850 UMTS as an option as my settings, I have no idea, and I am sure it will not work because I can't even get the regular 850 band working. But this is what it says. If you really like, I can post a picture.
I tried searching in the forums, but I can't find anyone with my same problem. If this has already been resolved, a link would be very much appreciated.
I'm still having the same problem everytime I try to run ROMupdateutility -- all it does is reset my phone, then tells me error 260 -- that my phone is not connected, and that I should check the USB. Why does my phone keep resetting?
Again, I am using Windows Vista Business 32 bit, and the phone is plugged in directly through the laptop. Please please help, I really do not want to sell my phone, if I can help it.

I had a problem like this with vista. I went to start-> settings-> connections-> usb to pc (on the phone) and unchecked 'enable advanced network functionality'. Unplugged the usb cable and plugged it back in, worked like a charm.

I tried this, and it still just soft-resets. Thank you very much for the suggestion, though. Any other ideas?
Also still having trouble running the bootloader, how do I do this? Is it a crucial step, or only necessary for checking which SPL I have?

Ok, so here's the deal:
I have this nice HTC Himalaya (accu description label says PH10B).
I use it a lot, and I've used it in the past for calling and sms as well, no problems there. However, since I upgraded it to wm6 (or 6.1, doesn't matter), I get no network. Booting up it says nothing about no gsm, it tells me nicely what radio and protocol version I have, it just doesn't get any network. It does read the SIM, since I can read contacts and/or change/toggle the SIM password.
When I enable the Band tab on the Phone settings dialog (I use Schaps Advanced Config for this) it just says that it's 'Unable to change GSM/UMTS Band', and that I should try again later. This partially makes sense, 'cause I have no UMTS. However: when I 'visit' the Band-tab again, the GSM Band shows up empty (none of the available options is selected by default), so something sure seems to go wrong here. I'm currently using a different phone next to this device as my PDA, but I'd love it to work again...
Any thoughts?
Edit: Just so you know, I've used all radio ROMs I could find, just to eliminate that. I currently use a radio rom bundled with my own carriers latest official upgrade (I own a Dutch phone, my carrier ATM is KPN/Hi), but I'll be glad to try anything else if that'll make it work.
maybe stating what radio rom you have would help

Ofcourse, at the moment 1.16, but I'm flashing to 1.08 again, 'cause I read somewhere that one worked best with WM6. I'm flashing without my SIM in it, as that is the way to go as well. I don't expect it to work though, 'cause like I edited in my first post, it wouldn't work before, not from 1.08 through to 1.19...
Update: that radio ROM didn't bring any change indeed, so I guess no more network for my Himalaya... Luckily enough my Touch Dual is shipping this Saturday, so I'll be out of trouble by then. Sadly enough that does mean leaving my Hima behind, but not fulltime it's been with me from WM2003 through to 6.1, and maybe, just really maybe 7 will run on it too, and I wouldn't want to miss that
Hey. Today is not my day
My phone wont work with GSM anymore, it works well with 3G but when it tries to connect to a GSM network it just dies :/ i have no clue what it could be. It was working well yesterday, i have tried to do a hard reset but still wont work. any ideas? Thanks.
Sorry for bad english!
by the way, there is a strange sound in the speaker when it tries to connect to a GSM network.
and it doesnt die if i have it on charge.
has you have set the telefonsettings to gsm network or to automatic?
My phone also needs the manual setting to GSM.

On automatic it sets on 3G becurse i got 3G here, and if it losts the 3G connection and tries to connect to GSM it dies. ( thats how i found out about this problem on the way too school this morning. )
in my network i observe problems with connects to GSM: Sometime i lost the GSM connection/signal, where my Wizard has a safty connection.
It can be a standard Problem with the current Radio ROM
I think about change the radio ROM. pse look to Diamond ROM development to find a instruktion. the ".25.05" should be the best Radio Rom with a better energy performence and better Signals. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
BUT i have not change in this time, while i test my Battery performance after a reducing of background software/applications.

die completly = shut down/swith of the Diamond?
This i not have obervate.
If you follow the instructions, the Radio update is out of problems. If you will get the old radio version, so you can get it back with the original provider update of ROM.
for german Vodafone there is a download by vodafone.de under "technischer Support". i think the most providers has a update download. Look to your provider, if there be a ROM update.

before you look for a new Radio, make a reset or a hard reset. My be, that it "repair" your problem.
By my WIZARD i has update the Radio.
I think, that the radio ROMs for the Diamond are also standards (how by the WIZARD) without differences.

OK, i hope you get a better Signal after changing the Radio version.
so as i have read, is version 05 the optimal version with stable signal and lower battery consumption.
pse read self the linked threads to find your optimal Radio ROM.

Hi. I flashed duttys diamond rom today and everything was going fine.
Now all of a sudden the tilt can't connect to the 3g network anymore. I have radio 1.65.16.25 which is the one that comes with duttys diamond v1 rom.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am having similar problems but i havent flashed lately. I just figured ATT figured out a way to block 3g from my phone since when i disable it, it works fine.
Oh well I was thinking of just putting the same radio back on.
Do you guys think that will work?
If i want to put the same radio back on all i have to do is
1. download the radio
2. Connect tilt to computer with activesync
3. cid unlock by running kaiserunlocker and skip step 1 because I already have cmonex's hardspl 3.29 on my tilt.
4. run the kaiserruu which has the radio in the same folder.
Then I'm done right? Is that all I have to do?

I don't think you need to cid unlock if you already have hard spl, just skip step 3 and go to 4.
Also, on at&t here in central texas, I haven't had a 3g icon in about a week, I either get a H or E, but no more 3g. As long as you still get H, your alright

well i fixed the problem by putting the radio backon and i did do step 3 because well i didnt c urpost before i did it. anyways it seems to be working now.
i wasnt getting connected at all. no H or E and it saidt he browser wouldnt work or some sorta error message
Just lived through this
Although not nearly as complex as everyone else's answer, I recently noticed I was edge all the way. I went to the comm manager and noticed that 3G was off. I guess when it goes into plane mode (which it does too many times due to the close proximity of the PLANE MODE tab to the BLUETOOTH ON tab) it doesn't turn that back on when it comes out.
Turned on the 3G and now spend most of my time in H!
Good luck
Reposting this here as it seems to have hit a wall over on PPCGEEKS(link to original thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42102):
I'm wondering if I can use CDMA roms on this site with a Japanese phone? Hoping to flash a WWE version as my Japanese is less than perfect. I know that EM Mobile(sometimes e mobile) uses a 1700MHz band different than the one in the states, its WCDMA and HSDPA.
Asking because I see lots of Sprint/Telus specific ROMS, I'm not sure if thats just software or ESIM/etc related??
If it matters I don't need to switch providers, I just want to use this phone, on my current plan, with an English OS.
Cheers and thanks,

So far they think I may have a GSM phone? I know EMobile (my carrier) operates on a 1700MHz band, using WCDMA with HSDPA(I can get 7.2Mbps with my Diamond), and I assumed WCDMA is a CDMA type phone, it also has the curved lip separating the screen from the hardware buttons (see attachment). It's got a smooth back (non-faceted, looks like a black Sprint Diamond basically). HOWEVER, it has a front-facing camera, which I guess is different than the CDMA version? Finally it has 192MB of RAM so it's not one of those stripped down 3702's...
The installed software is:
ROM: 1.73.881.7 JPN
ROM Date: 09/22/08
Radio Version: 1.04.25.04
Protocol Version: 52.36.25.21H
Related, another guy on this forum using the same carrier as me has got a Kaiser working with English ROMS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=404499
It seems the Kaiser is GSM only, so I'm thinking WCDMA might indeed be a subset of GSM??
EDIT: Seems I do have a GSM model, based on this article: http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/08/20/htc-touch-diamond-unlocked-gsm-smartphone/ :
This powerhouse runs on a Qualcomm MSM7201A 528MHz processor and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system. It can connect to HSDPA and WCDMA networks and supports GSM, GPRS and EDGE technology.

so far all is running well, but i dont have the original GPRS/data settings in yet (could not read the jap. one) so I am now in research mode.
will let you know when I got data working, and any other issues
uggh
If you tell me how to find those on my phone, I can check them out before I flash. However im on the "EMB" network because I didn't sign up for the 315/yen a month SMS service (just using IMAP).
Well, I followed your lead. Flashing fixed my bluetooth keyboard not working with the blueinput drivers I bought, and since I bought this as a mobile word processor first and an internet device second, I am happy.
It would be nice to be able to connect to the network however...
Where do we put in our GPRS/etc settings?
I wrote down the following details before flashing:
Code:
MODEL: S21HT
Platform: PocketPC
IMEI: ###############(think this is an individual #, blocking it out)
GPRS: PAP
CSD line: Datarate 9600 bps(v.32), untransparent, SMS Service: GSM Priority

Still not able to connect... if you get yours working let me know
Got everything working. Had to change the phone settings to Auto-select network type(WCDMA/GMS) and auto select bands. HSDPA seems to be working too now.
As a last thing I would like to be able to type in Japanese with it using the standard IME, but for now I will be happy with what I have.
Cheers,
Alexander

Hi Alexander, I need some advise please.. I too have the emobile S21HT. I want to know after you did the flashing with english ROM, does the band selection includes other bands like 2100Mhz, etc.. not only 1700 Mhz? Because I know that emobile is using 1700Mhz only. Your answer will be much appreciated. Many thanks..
Jun
hey, Alexander
did you manage to send mms (email) from your emobile S21HT ?
I'm a novice in all this stuff, now trying to make Japanese ROM based on emobile device raw.

Ｈｉ Alexander
I also have a S21HT, wanted to know how you got the internet connection to work, mine doesn't work, is it the radio version, or is it the settings that I need to change.
What I did, was only changing the SPL to HSPL, and did a sim unlock, and now I can't get my internet connections to work.
Thanks
Jun:
I have full access to other bands after flashing with Dutty's. However to get internet working I had to change from 1700MHz and WCDMA to auto-select on both.
Zhura:
I can use outlook and have got it setup with 2 gmail addresses ausing imap and a school address with POP3. I chose not to register/sign-up for emobiles 315/yen a month mail service because i see no need using these their emobile address.. I am interested in how your thing goes, i'd like to get japanese input working in a WWE menu ROM.
Harry:
Once i set the bands to autoselect everything was fine. I did have to change the "comm manager" setting to "GSM mode" and after that everything worked. I didn't do a SIM unlock though, so maybe that has something to do with your problem.
Hey guys,
Those of you with the new diamond radio here in Japan. Any chance you can extract it for us? I am running on a Raphael here in Tokyo and would luv to try out this radio to see if it has any local performance improvements. I have tried all the other radios, none of which seem to work so great here in Japan.
Thanks,

I did a ROM dump following a guide, before I flashed. Not sure if that has the radio in it or not but I have the four Part01.raw/part02.raw/etc files if someone can extract the radio from them I can upload them somewhere...
Thanks musato.
I will try the dutty rom than, probably try the v2.9.
By the way did you manage to get a Japanese writter on your English rom??

I can give it a try. Not done one yet but I dont mind hacking around with it to get my hands on the radio. Can you put them on one of the standard file sharing sites that we all use? Or do you need an ftp? if so let me know and I will PM ya.
Thanks,
Will put em up on the wiki in about 7 hours when I get home.
I got a form of Japanese input working, using the Ookii stuff, but it only lets me input using handwriting recognition, and it almost never works with my bad handwriting. Also, although I can input text, in emails/on the web all I get are boxes and [email protected]#$ signs where there should be Japanese characters. I tried switching the encoding, but Japanese is not an option.
Still hoping to get the original wm6 japanese ime installed via a cab or something. Maybe it can be extracted from the rom files I'm uploading later?
Musato.
in ref to the input.
give this a shot

I did something similar to get it working on my TP. Also, I use the windows vista font for japanese its a little better you can copy it straight over.. called meiryo..
cheers
Thanks for the reply; will try that out later when I have time.
Upload is running now, in the Diamond section: HTC Diamond JPN EMOBILE ROM.rar only goin at 30K/s, should be done in an hour or so. I don't know what version it is cause I forgot to check before I dumped it and flashed dutties.
Cheers

Hey Musato,
I tried the V2.9 Dutty, it's working great, just I wasn't able to choose other bands. Choosing other bands meaning, I could not use another carriers sim card on this diamond.
Well the other thing is that the camera is not working well, can't take any pictures....
were you able to choose other bands, with other carriers? eg softbank using 2100mhz
Hi Musato,
Sorry, I might be going blind. Checked recent changes on wiki, searched the ftp sight under Diamond and uploads and dont see where the Japanese rom is. Could you let me know.
Thanks
I can't find the ROM too....
Will it be possible to post a link to it,
Thanks
I am about to buy a Rogers Diamond. Having owned 2 different Windows Mobile phones from them, I know they probably managed to limit the heck out of their Diamond so I was wondering if anyone that has a Rogers Diamond could tell me (us?) if they decided to limit software installation, GPS, internet etc etc.
If so, is there a fix?
If there's no english one I'll get the french one. Any flashing to standard english ROM possible right now?
Thanks in advance, can't wait!
-Nick
PS: Gecko is coming soon, hopefully before Christmas!
well i got mine today, few board members got it as welll before me.
I haven't played too much with the phone yet, but up to now they dont seem like they played too much with it...
if you want to know:
ROM Version: 1.93.631.8 WWE
Radio Version: 1.00.25.06
ram: 192mb
flash size: 256mb
you can flash to anything you want as long as you HARD-SPL your phone, causing it to SuperCID.
You don't really have to worry about backing up your rom because you can find it here, a board member already got it for us to play around with.

havent seen that version of the radio before?
No. Memory. Card.
What the heck? I had a 4GB one anyway, but it makes testing apps and transferring music so fast!
Rogers Diamond
I got my Rogers branded HTC Diamond yesterday and so far it'll let me install any apps I want. Internet works through wifi and 3G. I can't find a way to turn off 3G connection. GPS works but acquiring sat lock takes like 5mins compared to my old EU/Asia Diamond which locks to sat in 30sec.
ROGERS 3G
Just want to share this. But I'm pretty sure this has been tackled in the forums already.
Rogers branded HTC Diamond doesn't have the option to turn of 3G through band selection. I found this registry hack to enable band selection and now I can turn 3G off.
Rogers default registry - OFF
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:0
Registry tweak to enable band changes
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:1
Now you can go to >start>settings>phone>band tab and change band settings to your choice. I switched mine to just use GSM instead of auto which always connects on 3G.

same radio version here.
ROM Version: 1.93.631.8 WWE
ROM Date: 10/30/08
Radio Version: 1.00.25.06
Protocol version: 52.31.25.13H
DIAM110 64M
SPL-1.93.0000

I'm having issue with gps sat lock taking so long and I suspect this radio version is the culprit. I might unlock and flash the radio on my phone. I've been reading this forum religiously for past 6 days now trying to understand how to unlock and flash my phone. The more I read the more I get confused.
I have the same radio but am not having any problem acquiring satellite lock. By the way, this radio is already posted in the radio thread at the top of the Rom Development forum.. so I don't know why someone said it was not seen before.
I hope someone can find or make a backup for the first splash screen (Rogers red, VGA). We have backups for the OS, SPL, and radio so far.
Hi, why do you want to disable 3G? I thought it was a benefit?

I know. It's just that sometimes I would select something which needs internet connection (ex; quickgps) accidentally and it will try to connect through 3G. My friend got billed by Rogers a hefty $3000++ for internet connection which he never used because he thinks he accidentally run internet in his phone and unknowingly left it. I like the option of enabling 3G only when I need it. Plus I read from this forum that 3G connection is one of the battery killers of Diamond.

I'm using iGO8 and on my now sold EU/Asia Diamond it worked pretty well. Now with the Rogers branded HTC Diamond it takes like somewhere from 3-5 mins to lock to a sat. It sees the satellites but just wouldn't lock to them. My old diam got 1.00.25.05 radio in it and I'm thinking of flashing my phone with the same radio but keeping the Rogers ROM since there not that bad and as quick and stable as some cooked ROMs out there.

The Rogers one is 1.00.25.06.. wouldn't that be better, if not almost the same (version number)?
I'll go driving tonight to test mine

$3000?? But I thought they max out the data plan at $100 if you go over. I'm on my first month so I haven't seen my first bill yet, but apparently I have used up a lot of voice call minutes even though I hardly used the phone to call!!! I leave my data on all the time so that I can check email every half hour.

I don't know. He doesn't have any data plan with rogers just voice so I guess he is like pay as you go for 3G.
And just like me with my old iPAQ PDA phone I get billed for data usage every now and then for something I've never used. The most I got was 40 bucks. Didn't bother complaining since my time getting on hold by customer service is worth more than $40.
hat gps application is used in your diamond?

Hi, I am about to buy the rogers diamond. Since GPS is my must have function in a smart phone, could you tell me what gps application is used in your diamond?
Do you know if iguidance 3.0 works in rogers diamond?
Thanks
FYI
I am using Tomtom 7.91 on Diamond, it has about 2-3 seconds lag, very annoying
I'm using iGO8. So far great that is if it locks to a sat signal. Nothing wrong with iGo8 but I think it the radio version that came with Rogers branded diam.
hpod06: when you say 2-3 sec lag, do mean that your position on the gps is 2-3 sec late from actual. If so then same here. And same with my other iPAQ gps phone. So I think it's not the gps apps thats causing this delay but the gps chip used by phone. Well the lag doesn't really bother me since gps apps announces your next maneuver before hand. Just need to get use to it.

I'm using Radio 1.00.25.08 on Roger's in Toronto...been quite happy with it's performance.

HTC Touch Diamond P3700
Avoid rogers diamond!
I had to exchange rogers diamond to iphone even though I am always not a apple fan.
For whatever reason, the performance of rogers diamond is unacceptable. i.e. Multiple applications running concurrently would just hang the system. It's like a single thread system
I called the customer service, and the customer service manager didn't explicitly deny the problem when i pointed out, which imply this could be a common issue to the rogers diamond. As I have been reading all the diamond review, bad performance seems a always an issue. Some said, it's being significantly improved after upgrading to the new firmware, but at least this is not the case on rogers diamond. Regardless the underlying reason, i highly doubt rogers did a real integration test on diamond!!
