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.?

Im in the process of acquiring the tilt and having it unlocked from one of those ebay and store site services ranging from $20-40 if a phone call from AT&T wont work.
Will it work on Tmobile USA? Any real tilt tmobile owners?
I know i will have to reconfigure the GPRS but does anyone have the settings? Any Tmobile tilt owner with a working internet/sms/phone feature?
have you not looked at any threads here before posting one?
to make it simple, call AT&T to unlock it or buy a code and i'm using a tilt on t-mobile with their t-zones plan. no, i'm not gonna post the settings. you gotta do your own work sometimes, but search for tzones proxy settings and you'll find it here or howardforums.com
thanks
All i really needed the most was a real tilt on tmobile owner who is using it without any problems. Thanks for the confirmation. ill search for the settings.
It isn't too hard to unlock to T-mobile and reconfigure Data settings... I think if you google it, you'll even find the data settings you need for T-mo on "unlocked" windows mobile devices.
I used some random ebay unlocker and the response was pretty fast also.

Im using a tilt that I purchased on ebay and had it unlocked also through ebay. Im really happy with it. I only have the basic t-zones plan and I can check email (pop3) and surf the web (opera mini). Internet explorer doesnt work, but Opera is all I really need.

if ur still using the 29.99 data plan, ur getting ripped off, cuz they recently changed the price of their 29.99 data plan to 19.99. same thing, just $10 cheaper, definately call in and change it.
btw, it works for me on the 5.99 tzones plan

Hi, can you help me to unlocked my htc 8925 tilt? Thaaaaannnnnnkkk you so much!
tilt unlocked
bought the service from ebay (from a canadian seller for $14). Received the code within 24 hours.
Definitely able to. I chose unlock my phone through Tupisdin and a donation to this site (thanks for all the help here).
I tried calling international AT&T etc etc. I didn't want to use my friends number and account info. It was just a little too much of a hassle.
So in three days I've had the SIM Unlock, the CID Unlock, and flashed the HTC shipped ROM. I like the phone much better now. =)
BTW, if you flash the HTC ROM, you won't have to manually configure your data settings for T-Mobile USA. It knows them, already.
Now... just need to find a good way to remove the "AT&T" logo on the faceplate.

you can get a new faceplate and use the "case tool" to swap faceplates.
i got the tool and faceplate on ebay for like 10 dollars total.

why would you pay to unlock the phone? There's posts here that explain how to do it yourself, you just gotta use that search option and sift through the posts. DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE!!! Coulda saved you a few bucks....
I got my Tilt, unlocked it myself, got it running to tmo now, working perfectly except that i keep gettin booted off BB Connect everytime I use a program that accesses data

It does take an awful lot of reading though, particularly if (like me) you miss a step and spend 2 hours using mtty to boot the phone trying to figure out what you did. But it is all there, it works, and makes a great phone super. On t-mobile, Duttys 6.1 at least auto-configured the network.
Free good, but it can be painful
I am going to try the sugar cube thing. I just noticed the ATT was painted on not etched.
Cool

HTC Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 - CID Unlock & Flash any ROM to your device (4 free) forum on here. now i just have to figure out how to get downloaded content from t mobile onto my tilt
Hello everyone, as you can see this is my first post on xda-developers.com. The Diamond will also be my very first WM device. I found a great deal on the Diamond ($450 US for the phone without a contract with the upgraded 1350 battery), however it's currently for a carrier outside of the U.S. I currently have Verizon wireless, and I was hoping to be able to use this phone on their network. This phone is the CDMA version by the way.
So my question is: Is it possible to unlock the phone and flash it with a different ROM in order to get it to work on the VZW network?
I apologize if this seems like a silly question or if the info is somewhere else, I looked around a bit but couldn't find the info to answer my question about this particular phone. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope to have an answer soon!
Sorry for the bump, but I need an answer to this quickly and my thread was pushed off the front page. Is it currently possible to take the CDMA version of the Touch Diamond and get it to work on the Verizon network?
It will be possible but I you will have to wait for the Verizon version to launch before you can port another carriers Diamond over to Verizon as you will need a Verizon ROM.
The Verizon one will be crappy though so you will still want a Sprint or other CDMA carrier's version.
You then unlock it and install a Verizon ROM on it and you should be set.
Thank you very much for the reply! So basically I could go ahead and purchase the phone and just use it for a PDA for a little while, and then sign it up with VZW when the VZW ROM gets released?
Ya well, like I told my friend who I'm going to do the same thing for, I would wait until the Verizon one is released just in case something weird happens and you can't port. Then you aren't out the money. Wait until someone else does it first.
Up to you if you wanna take the risk. $450 is a pretty good deal.
That's true, being out $450 doesn't sound like a very good idea to me... I suppose I'll wait until I find out for sure if this is even possible.
Nevermind

Hey everyone, I am a noob, I admit it, Well to this whole phone PDA thing. I have experience with flashing psp's etc, and now my way around electronics. But anyhow, I just bought a AT&T HTC 8925 Tilt TyTN II Kaiser off of Ebay. It suppose to have Windows Mobile 6.0 on it and unlocked. So I can use my tmobile sim card in it. Well what I was wondering is, can I upgrade it to 6.1 or maybe 6.5 and not hurt the fact that it is unlocked? Don't want to upgrade the firmware or whatever you call it, and it becomes locked on me! Also what is this radio thing I read about thru out the forums? Is it like what it sounds like? Radio = listen to FM /AM radio stations, or you laughing at me now and should update me on what it is, thanks

First thing you need to do is read the Kaiser wiki, all the answers to your questions are there without the need to start a new thread. Lecture over
Once unlocked always unlocked no matter if you upgrade the rom. The radio " they " talk about, is the firmware that operates the sound , camera and receiver in the phone. Different " radios " work better with different roms. The Kaiser has no radio per se,

Just out of curiosity, what was the cost for the tp2 through Telstra?
Can I just confirm that all of the custom ROMs on xda for the TP2 actually work with the Telstra version?
The Telstra ROM has a few nice apps like Jetcet Print (for mobile printing) and Jetcet Presenter (for editing Powerpoint slides). Telstra ROM also has some free goodies like WhereIs which let you download the maps with no data charge. And there are free BigPond news, Yellow Pages, Sensis, etc....

did you buy your phone from Telstra? is your phone SIM unlocked? If you bought it from Telstra then it is not an unlocked phone and you will have to pay to have it unlocked. you will still be able to HSPL and flash but your phone won't work. You can pay Telstra a fee and they will unlock it for you or you can go on this forum and find the unlocking thread, you still will have to pay them.

Does your phone have the 3G 850/2100 bands? How does the 850 band work on AT&T in the US? I'm so damn tired of waiting for AT&T to come out with the Touch Pro 2.
Also, where'd you get the phone?
I'm using Optus with my T-mobile TP2 in Hobart and its work really well.

Have you changed or edited the radio to work better on the AT&T network?
I'm having problems connecting when I'm in downtown Toronto (I'm from Canada, using the Telstra TP2 on Rogers) but I don't know if it's because of the phone, or my service provider and their 'known connectivity issues'...
I see that there is a version of the AT&T radio to change to, have you resorted to that to perhaps enhance or 'upgrade' your HSPA 850mhz radio?
Quick story:
I bought it off dell.com like 2 years ago. I saw there was an update for it, so I went on HTC's website and put in my S/N. It said it didn't recognize it. I tried returning it to dell, but it was after the 15 day return period. So, I got screwed...and out of frustration I just cut my losses, forgot to put it on ebay, and threw it in the closet.
What should I do? I'm thinking about just installing a custom rom on it and throwing it to a friend but there are too many....any recommendations on what my next step should be?
Oh yea, to note, this is the GSM version of the HTC Touch Diamond. I've seen roms for the CDMA version...but not the GSM
I have a same issue but I always use custom rom therefore I don't care about it.
Is it a branded diamond?
The HTC site doesn't allow you to update branded Diamonds. For example, it doesn't recognize the S/N for my O2 branded Diamond.
Just put in a custom rom, they're much better than the official ones albeit more prone to bugs. Try different roms to see which you like best. Don't forget the flash the HARD SPL first.

Hi guys
I head the same problem during a support.
It is surely due to the fact that the mobile is "branded".
