CDMA Diamond - What Can I do?

So I'm a total WINMO noobie. I've never used a PocketPC, in fact i've owned two phones, the most advanced of the two being a simple MOTORAZR.
I've purchased a CDMA Sprint Diamond, done nothing on it.
I'm not sure what posted on this forum applies to GSM only, so what can I do on the CDMA version?
Can anyone mention some registry tweaks, what programs WON'T work, etc.
I'm very technologically inclined, so don't dumb it down for me
Thanks,
intx

TMOTouch Pro 2 Radio 3.45.25.14 on Touch HD

I have searched both google and this forum and have not found any relevant information so I am hoping someone might know the answer to this. I have the Touch HD in NYC working on Tmobile with no 3G service. It appears that Tmobile now has the Touch Pro 2 with 3G service. I called Tmobile and they confirmed that it has the 1700/2100 bands. I then called HTC and was told that the radio can/may unlock the needed bands to run on Tmobiles high speed service. So....has anyone tried this? The radio version for the Tmobile Touc Pro 2 is 3.45.25.14 but I cant find it available anywhere to give it a try. Maybe it's lucky I didnt find it as I dont really know the effect it would have on my phone.
So....any thoughts?

OK. I now found a tmobile test version shipped with radio 3.44.25.17
I figured since noone seems to want to take the time to answer I would
just see what I can figure out.
Using NBHextract I was able to get to, from what I can assess is the radio file,
02_GSM.nb
I then found another program that supposedly should help to create a new nbh file with just the radio. I followed the instructions including a text file with the following inside:
Blackstone
00000000
3.44.25.14
USA
300,02_GSM.nb (I do not know if 300 is correct for the HD)
It did create an NBH file, when I tried to run it all I got was an error code "0058002"
I have no idea what the error code means and I do not know what else I can do to try and make this work.
Anyone have any suggestions as to where I might have gone wrong?
Is it just that you cannot use the radios interchangeably between the 2 devices??

You should read that first :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521206 (sticky on this forum)
Where you find that :
Security Unlock lets you flash radios from other devices... technically speaking you can flash any radio, but some will brick it (such as Topaz) - however, Diamond, Raphael and Kovsky should all be fine. It can also be an insurance policy against evil radios - people who had the Kaiser radio from hell will know what I mean.

as CaiCai says you will need security unlock your HD.
this will cost you £10 gbp read the thread, as you have minimal posts.
Please also be aware this isn't a helpdesk, if you ask a question there's no guarantee it's going to be answered with your 1st 1 1/2 hour of asking
I'd suggest trying some patience, some people actually do have a life away from this forum, I know it doesn't appear that way sometimes, but we do try to escape the cords that bind us..
Personally I cant see how unless they included the hardware to enable the extra frequencies it could possibly work how you want. But I can hex edit the radio after you've done security unlock.
If you read this very forum there is a thread on radios, in fact there's two.

CaiCai: thanks for your straight forward answer and info. I will look into the things you suggested.
Fards:
If I am reading into your post incorrectly, forgive me, but I just sense as if your response has a tinge of attitude. You are absolutely right, i am impatient. However I was not disrespectful about it. I just explained my experience with the methods i tried in attempting to apply the new radio.
That being said, the two radio threads from what ive read, dont address this kind of question. I will reread them to be sure. In regards to your statement about the phone not having the physical capability to work on those bands, there are some people that have postulated that it may be more of a low level programming issue. Also as I said I spoke to someone at HTC and he said it is possible for a radio to allow a phone to work on additional frequencies.
Thanks for your suggestions also. I will look into unlocking the phone as you suggested. I was under the impression I had already done that, but as you see, I am still relatively new to this. Ive been around for over a yr and half, just not many posts. Also, how would hex editing the radio file help in the inatallation of it? I havent heard any references made to that before.
Thanke again fpr taking the time to respond.

As stated previously by others you need to security unlock your device first. Info on this is available here. Radio's from other devices which are known to work on the HD with this security unlock can be found here. Once your device is security unlocked it will state 'Security unlocked' along the top of bootloader screen.
The radio you mention 3.44.25.17, I don't believe has been tried on the HD before, it may work with this security unlock, but it may not. Some radio's from other devices can still brick your device even when you use security unlock, so do this at your own risk.
As fards stated, try and be patient and don't go trying things unless you are 100% certain. Read up on everything first. Myself and others will always try to help when online. If unsure of anything, you can always PM me.

Rick, thanks for the info. I know people ask the same questions over and over and it can get annoying. There is just such a wealth of information on here that sometimes it definitely is possible to get lost in it all. I really appreciate all the help i get, especially when it is packed in such a friendly tone.
The radio you mention 3.44.25.17

Ideally, I am looking for radio 3.45.25.17
I havent found it as of yet found it. That 3.44
was from a test rom for the TMO touch pro 2.
I have the raw files from the TMO TP2 but from
what ive read, you cant make a radio installer from
a rom dumped from a phone. You need the ruu-signed.nbh file.
Thanks a lot.

theres a good chance that the radio will still need hex editing, if you read the threads about radio unlocking it's mentioned in both of them.
It's not hard to do at all, it just needs one section changing
me attitude.. noo never ..

Thanks guys for directing me to the right locations. I think the problem was I was searching with my terms being too specific. Looking for exactly that radio on the HD. Anyway, I will be bringing up the same issue here for anyone that would like to follow how it plays out.
MODS:
I guess you can delete this if you would like.

Rhodium radios are not compatible with the HD, they will kill it.

wat a shame. Very disappointing. Well, maybe they will come out with another winmo 3G phone soone to help me out. Thanks everyone for your responses.

If Olipro states Rhodium radios are not compatible with the HD, and they will kill it. Then I would believe him. Unfortunate though

Moto X XT1055 GSM

A couple days ago I set out on a mission to use my GSM sim card with my phone.
I found this guide *I'm a new user so I can't post the link XD, it's called "How to: Unlock GSM for Moto X 1st and 2nd gen US Cellular"*
I followed it exactly and I was able to make calls and texts....However no data. Which annoyed me. So, me being me, I decided to keep going until it stopped working :crying: I tried flashing it, flashing just the modem, I even looked into NV values, bands and whatnot myself. Being a programmer and having worked with hardware many many times in the past, it wasn't too difficult to understand. However, try as I might, I cannot get it to work again. It detects the SIM card, I see the number, and it even says I have voicemails.....However I have no signal. I'm completely puzzled. As far as I can tell from typing *#*#4636#*#* it is using GSM. and I tried many different ones. Any help is greatly appreciated. As of now, I also tried flashing a different kernel and then just decided to flash CM13 thinking maybe there was a lock in the kernel.....No luck.
EDIT: I don't think it necessarily makes a difference....But it might. I took an OTA update after flashing my phone originally. Then I followed the guide and it worked. Now when I flash my phone I can flash everything except gpt.bin since it blocks me from downgrading that. And I have tried updating to the same update again....it makes no difference.

Hi there,
I will move your thread in the correct forum dedicated to Moto X Q&A for more relevant answers.
Good luck

Thanks. I was able to do research and was able to figure out why it wasn't working. I'm considering writing a thread with instructions on how to unlock the XT1055 for use with GSM bands since there doesn't seem to be much about it. I was originally trying to make it work with AT&T. but they discontinued GSM 850. My phone is supposed to be capable of WCDMA 1900 and so is AT&T, however, when I try this my phone enables and disables its radio repeatedly.....So, I'm not exactly sure what's going on with it.

I was told by a friend, that some of XT1055 are remarked 1056, 1060, and 1049. They can have GSM after a bit modding. But there are also TRUE XT1055, that can't have GSM at all, it's blocked completely.
There was described a dependance by serial number, but I forgot where I saw it, and can't find, sorry )

If you can share a guide to unlock 1055, pls, would be great to see. I have one non-GSM-achievable 1055 with "bad" serial number.

make sense, pdadb state that xt1055 is a pure cdma-lte phone

Yep. I think we won't hear more information from OP. True xt1055 (not labeled in utags as "xt1055") physically can't have GSM

The xt1055 is capable of gsm. If you look at what bands are supported it does support a few gsm bands. I'm not sure about the remarked thing. But several sources say it is capable. And I did get it to work. AT&T just happened to discontinue the band I used for their network right after I got it to work. Purely bad luck. The xt1055 has limited gsm bands. Didn't stop me from trying unsupported bands still xD didn't work of course. Interestingly the xt1055 is also supposed to capable of wcdma. But I couldn't get that to work at all

Yeah, I found some successful cases. But not every one gets GSM on 1055, even after following sophisticated guides, and looks like due to remarked thing. I'm still pessimistic.
Bumped up a small trick here, maybe it will help.

Ls991 IMEI FIX

Hello this is my first post, I need advice regarding IMEI fix for my unlocked Ls991,
I've received it as a gift for Christmas and I really like this device, it's not blacklisted or stolen, but the problem is that I live in Syria where the regime and carrier networks will block the phone from connecting to network unless I play an unreasonably high fee just to allow my net phone to work on Syrian network which is very unfair.
I've paid the fee for my old phone and I'm not wiiling to pay it again every time I get a new phone, I wish If I could just change IMEI of my new phone and put my old phone's IMEI instead so they can't find out that I got a new device.
As an Android enthusiast I've read many articles, but I'm still not very sure I can make this change cause I'm afraid I may brick my new phone, a comprehensive guide from the trusted xda devs will help me make this jump.
I think the only possible way to do it is to flash efs partition - correct me if I'm wrong -
Xposed framework will only mask IMEI and the carrier will still find the hard-coded one.
And what about unlock status, I think it's encoded in efs as well,
Thnx everybody for your contribution
Have a great day

so of coarse this is a touchy subject what firmware are u on is it zv6 through zva if so root it use xposed and there a module called imei changer can spoof the imei to whatever u want i use it and most online services that can do imei detection register my spoofed imei most of the time i did it with my g4 on net 10 not always a sure fire but is a possibility.
if u do get it changed to the other device change the other device to this one or destroy it
so there is no confusion in the future.
i did my g3 and forgot to change it back one time and caused a headache
other than u need the msl code from sprint and use cdma workshop to change it accordingly
the unlock on sprint lgs usually is in the carrier folder

also Welcome to xda devs hope you find as much useful info here as ever needed.
u ended up in the worst forums u could development and stuff are complet;y dead on the ls991
i almost appear to be the last g4 survivor on zv6 rooted.
if there is anything i can help with feel free to ask
the only dumb ?s are the ones not asked

asking AGAIN someone please answer

Ok so I have derived that my phone is what I believe to be the Hanna variant through searching on Google . But I am unclear as to what to use for root and recovery here. Because all Hanna version list as cricket metro PCs or TMobile variants and I have boost Mobile variant XT1924-8. I can figure out the rest if someone will just ask my stupid question for me.

im on james models, a tmobile variant and a metro variant (same 1921-) but i flash same roms to both (both are gsm though.)
that being said; I have flashed cdma variant (vzw/sprint/BOOST) and i had no signal even after doing a network reset.
so I do not THINK the cdma vs gsm roms can cross flash. I may be wrong, just stating what I've experienced when I tried it.

CDMA and gsm are completely different networks. It's like trying to connect Xfinity cable through a dish Network satellite dish.
For future reference.
How vol down and power until you land in the bootloader and there you'll find your variant if you're unsure..

thanks for reviving a 3month old dead thread to ACTHACTULLY it up... You are an honor and a gentleman, thank you for explaining the difference between the two technologies in clear in concise terms.... (Oh wait you really didn't add any new information or explain anything, all you did is revive a 3month almost 4 thread to reiterate the obviously inferred information that the radios are different, hence the reasons the cross flash does not work. BUT OBVIOUSLY someone as cultural, artistic and intelligent as yourself would have caught that already right? RIGHT...
He obviously knew his variant was 1924, so thanks for mansplaining how to get into bootloader... As if any one asked..
For future reference, 1924 is Hannah based and 1921 are James.... Make sure variant is right for your antenna and sim.

First of all, the dude said he thinks he has his varient from trying to figure it out on Google.
The bootloader literally tells you exactly which device you have.
No need for Google lol
And the reason I answered an old thread (and made it clear that I see it's old) is because there are a million unanswered questions on here!
Seriously..... ?
