Have just got a new contrcat with three and have sold the phone i have got with them.
I am getting a diamond from ebay, but wanted to know what network i should get it from. Is there any benifits of getting a orange diqamond over a tmobile.
What are the diferences?
I dont really want the o2 with the flast back and i would rather not have any branding on the phone.
Aditionally i will need to unlock it, are any easier to unlock than the others?
I found some info on how to set up the internet setting for the other htc devices for three UK and someone said it worked on theor diamond. Hopefully this should work. But if anyone has a diamond on three uk and has any advice on setting up. PLease let me know

I know this has been answered in several treads, but I can not make it to work.
I am trying to configure flat rate internet setting on my htc phone, but it seems i can not get password to populate.
I have an original HTC unlocked phone. Can somebody please provide step by step instructions with required files on how to perform the required steps to start using flat rate plan from softbank.
Thanks.

Google search for it on XDA. The threads there made it work for my Kaiser, but since I was on Softbank rental sim (which doesn't offer flat-rate data), the password populated and worked, but I still get billed by 128byte chunks.
I actually am on Softbank with an unlocked kaiser (just have a SIM contract). There were some instructions (in japanese) to get the open.softbank.ne.jp to work. I was testing it out cautiously for the first month and it seems to work fine. However, from yesterday I can't even make phone calls or get a data connection. When i try to make a call it tells me to call customer service, when i try to make a data connection, it tells me the answering modem has been disconnected.
I plan on calling Softbank tonight to see what's up. If it's just a technical glitch, i'll post what i did to make everything work. If they locked me for using open.softbank.ne.jp...oh well...i guess i'll try docomo!
I followed the instructions for setting up the open softbank connection, am using an HTC branded kaiser from Hong Kong so no lock, and as of 15 mins ago my data still working sweet.
Just download the prepared softbank package from the other thread, there is a readme, pretty straight forward but I can say it is working.
Another possibility is from tomorrow emobile will have kaisers here on data plans for half the cost of softbank. I would love to get an emobile sim and setup a connecdtion with them. But you know how it is here. The moment I asked the know nothing guy standing next to the phones about getting just a sim contract things get oh so complicated... sigh...

Will the Kaiser work on emobile since they're using W-CDMA 1700MHz? If it does, without a new radio firmware, then there's hope of using the Kaiser on T-Mobile USA's 3G AWS W-CDMA 1700.
I tried installing the emobile Sim card in my unlocked kaiser (friend had a demo emonster) and it doesn't work (probably due to the 1700Mhz). I'm a newbie, so can you tell me if the the radio can be set through a firmware upgrade or is it a hardware issue?
eMonster ROM needed
Hi i have the emonster. But i am having some trouble with the ROM. Anyone know where to get the factory ROM for emobile emonster S11HT KAIS140 SPL-3.06.0000 CPLD-8 RUUNBH?
TyTN II on Softbank
Could anyone help me reset the setting to enable this phone to work properly on Softbank. I am not sure what priceplan I'm on so whatever settings you can give would be great...
I have tried talking with Japanese staff but my Japanese is not good and their English is even worse.
It is so difficult to get a straight answer. I know this phone works here as I did nave it working a couple of years ago, but due to some changes in Softbank, it doesn't seem to work now..... Could someone please help me with a set of settings.
I am using Windows mobile 6
Thank you very much in advance...

You can try a rom upgrade or use a CID Unlocker Here Or you can change your imei through registry but i aint sure how to
its already sim unlocked but i dont know if its secuirty unlocked
i emailed olipro a while a go but he didnt respond. either he or tupisdin originally unlocked it for me i cant remember as i had a dimaond previously aswell which i sold for a touch pro, then missed so bad i bought another one
would i be allowed to change imei i thought this was illegal?
il give anything a try right now. if i security unlock again and sim unlock again will this do anything? or maybe if i flash the radio or rom again maybe???? its already hardspl
man thi sis so frustrating im angry!!
o2 just called me and said "technically" they unlocked everything there end but still it wont show signal, i tried 3 different sim cards now too
something did change - it now shows the G symbol by the signal but still no signal - there is just an "!" there
anyone?
id really appreciate some help here guys
This may seem stupid and it probably is but have you tried flashing a hard reset or maybe even flashing a new radio? I don't know if it will work but I'd certainly give it a try if I was you... You never know and you've got nothing to lose...
Hi patterns,
The only way to unbar the device is by the original provider (O2).
The provider simply places a national IMEI block so that your device can't be used anymore in the UK.
The only thing to prevent the device from being barred is by change the IMEI (which is illegal), but the info to do that isn't public (and illegal).
O2 is still the only way to unbar..
hi equinoxe,
thanks - this is what o2 are trying to do, but there is some problem because i moved provider to vodafone and then didnt keep the number, so there is something stuck in transit permanently. o2 have tried 3 times now to do this and keep telling me the same thing, i dont know what to do anymore........
i called and asked if i could change imei, the guy said it would work but he cant assist - obviously as you mention this is not legal. But in saying that is it still illegal if i do it for genuine reason?
man this is so frustrating, i finally out of pure good luck find my phone and it seems useless now!
guys o2 managed to unbar the phone but now it only works on t-mobile and o2????? it wont work on orange or vodafone, any idea why?
Hi i have a brand new unlocked phone but when i insert my simcard phone is booting type the sim pincode, starts up and it says no service.
Ive tried 3 different network providers (prepaid)
Sometimes when im outside i get a signal but its very poor then when im going into a building the signal gets lost and again no service.
Im realy stuck with it cant find answers, tried everything factory reset everytime with a new simcard. I have the latest update. Phone is US version.
Thanks in advance...
Had the same problem with my wifes phone, it worked for about a month then the radio would bounce between 1 bar at boot then fade to nothing, Ive flashed 3 different radios version to it still no go. Ended up sending it in for a replacement only to find out that HTC had a small batch of bad radios in a few phones. Tmobile just swapped it no questions asked.
Should I try to flash with other radio versions and how can i do it? I live in Belgium and got the G1 from Ebay so i dont think i can return the phone. The Seller says that the phone was 100% ok... So nothing I can do about it...
My advice is to check whether the phone has been blacklisted. It's what happened to mine - bought on ebay, was working fine for a week, then just got no service. Phoned up T-Mobile and they told me that it'd been reported stolen, so I then spent a couple of days fighting with the ebay seller, but it's working fine again now.
How can i check that on T-Mobile site? Im not familiar with T-mobile....
Thanks
As far as I know you can't do it online, so just phone them. Shouldn't take too long, just make sure you have your IMEI number ready (which is underneath the battery or can be found by typing *#06# into the dialer).
Edit: Or, the IMEI number can be found in Settings -> About phone -> Status
Called T-Mobile nothing they can do about it... I said if i give you the IMEI... Answer nothing we can do about it... 13min cal from Belgium to US hmmm how much will that cost
Now I really dont have a clue what to do...
Someone else any ideas?

I'm not sure how all this works, but if you're in Belgium, shouldn't you be calling TMobile Europe or something? Can a U.S. blacklisted phone not be able to get service with other providers?
Did not help calling T-mobile... Any suggestions??
I have a TMobile (UK) Diamond which is about to come out of the contract.
My wife who has about a year of her 18month contract with 'Three UK'.
She has a rubbish phone and would like to take use my Diamond on Three.
I know I'll have to get it unlocked first...
What I'm not sure about is will it 'just work' on Three without any problems... IE will her messaging settings and internet access settings be set up automatically when I insert her SIM card, or am I going to have more hurdles to jump to get it working?
i'd be grateful for any advice on this.
Hello everyone.
I'm beat. I was up to silly o'clock this morning trying to get this thing working.
I purchased to unlocker from this site as I have no posts. I've tried many different roms and radios but I still get no service when I plonk in my o2 sim card.
I have a touch HD that was registered to the orange network that I bought off a friend of mine. I wanted it to work with o2 so I downloaded the unlocker program (paid for) and did all the updating and unlocking that entails.
I then tried a few different roms (even tried win 6.5 but my battrey was getting drained at a silly rate)
The problem I have is that whichever radio I get it's not working with my O2 sim card. I have the little G symbol but it keeps asking for data connection setting and the phone is showing no service. I have even tried radios from other phones with no luck. I'm on the offical htc 1,56,401,0 (43972) WEE rom at the moment and the 1.12.25.16 radio and I'm also getting the greenscreen at the load up but a quick on off fixes that.
I searched the forums but still no joy.
What do I have to do?
Please, you are my only hope.
Thanks in advance.
Do you have the right SPL? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217)
I used to be Orange, had it unlocked, and am now on o2 with no problems. I use 1.17 radio but I don't think that's the issue
Tried it just now.
Thanks for the advice.
Tried the HSPL Wrapper on that thread, updated the radio to 1.17 but it's still showing no service. Any other ideas?
Thanks again.
did you try put another sim card inside the phone?
I just have O2 cards atm. Still now joy though.
I am a failure.
I've just done a cracking stew in the slow cooker. First time making dumplins. I can rebuild and format a PC in less that two hours but this thing has got me beaten. I suppose I could use it for an e-book reader.
I've now got SPL-1.56.Olnex on there with the blackstonehenge Rom.
and 1.17.25.09 radio but it still won't connect.
If anyone has any better ideas I will make them some stew and dumplins. Geographical location allowing, and if the gf lets me have friends round.
Thanks anyways.

i think the OP said that they have bought this already
i used to be on orange, now on O2.
how old is the O2 simcard? i think this is the most likely cause
Yes, I already purchased the unlocker. I also tried a newer sim card that was a Christmas present. I'll nip out today and get a 99p sim card from another network. Any suggestions which would be best?
Works with vodaphone
Yes, it registers and works with a vodaphone simcard. It also works with t-mobile but I can't send or recive calls on that (mightbe a sim thing with a need to top up or something) But a new o2 PAYG sim card and my old one still bringing up no service.
Anyone got any suggestions about any manual settings I can do?
Cheers,
henshu

Your operator does have any rom for Touch HD on their site? If it does, try it and see if it works.
Also read this page, seems to be an O2 rom for Blackstone devices http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Versions .
This page may be usefull too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444170

Hi henshu. Have you tried checking your band settings. Make sure they all are set to Auto. Tap on phone then options then band.
