Like the title says, can a rom maker cook a Touch HD rom with the radio from a USA Touch Diamond? I would like to see if this can help enable the 850/1900 umts bands. I can pick umts 850/1900 under, settings-phone-band but just puts me back on edge. Thanks in advance. Donations should be expected to the rom maker.
Both devices use Qualcomm MSM7201A radio.
This is the radio found in the USA touch diamond..
1.00.25.08 And can be found here.

I second that...I tried to flash just another blackstone radio today and it would not allow me.

Can i ask something. It might sound stupid but what exactly do you mean by security unlocked?

I already used a Diamond as well as Touch Pro. People always try to get/flash v1.00.25.05 of Diamond but frankly speaking, the current HD radio 1.09.25.14 is the best in term of reception.

And there you caused more confusion
CID unlock and security unlock is NOT the same.
- CID unlock - makes your CID a supercid, so that you can flash any stock ROM (even without HSPL), e.g. your current CID is probably HTC__001, after CID unlock it permanently becomes 11111111
- SIM unlock - removes SIM or network operator lock
- security unlock - enables additional SPL and radio BL features (e.g. to allow flashing of improperly signed or patched radio ROMs)
Security lock can be overriden in SPL using HSPL or USPL, but permanent unlock and radio security unlock is not possible for Blackstone as of now.
Ok thanks stepw...
Is anyone working on doing this?
are there any hidden menus on the hd?

I'm having a WiFi problem as outlined in this thread, but nobody seems to be able to offer any help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324952
I'm thinking of upgrading from the official T-Mobile UK 2.21.2.6 WWE ROM I have installed to another network provider ROM to see if that fixes the problem.
But will updating from my current ROM to, say, an O2 UK official ROM work the same way as a simple ROM update, or will it brick the phone?
Does it need to be CID unlocked? I've ran what I think was the latest LokiWiz to unlock the SIM, but did this SID unlock the phone as well? How do I tell?
How do I know whether my phone's an AKU2 or AKU3?
And what's the best (i.e., most reliable) official ROM? Would upgrading to WM6 help anything?
Sorry if I'm going over ground covered a lot elsewhere, but the sheer amount of FAQs on CID/SIM/AKU etc., is incredibly overwhelming and confusing.
Thanks in advance for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

ROMS are all preference really.. at the moment im using T-mobile 2.26 US which i have found to be the best ROM (with applications / themes obviously) as T-mobile UK Rom is over a year old and is crap.

keep us posted
I purchased my HTC Touch Diamond yesterday, and I'm already experiencing problems with it. I did a few tests, and here were the results:
Diamond = HTC Touch Diamond (Rogers)
Phone1 = Nokia E90 (Rogers)
Phone2 = Home phone (Rogers)
1: Diamond calls Phone1, and Phone1 receives call.
2: Phone1 calls Diamond, and call goes into "Unavailable" message. However; if you wait long enough on Phone1, Diamond will receive a missed call, with less than a second ring.
3. Diamond calls Phone1 again, Diamond doesn't hear ringer, but "Dialing" message is displayed.
4. Phone2 calls Diamond, and call goes into "Unavailable" message.
5. Diamond calls Phone2, Diamond doesn't hear ringer, but "Dialing" message is displayed.
The reception bar is full, and the phone has minutes. The calls made and received gets through when it feels like it. Sometimes they get through, sometimes they don't. Please help me out on this one.

try to upgrade your rom. the newer radio versions are way better that the shipped one.
Thank you for the reply.
I'm currently running on;
ROM Version: 1.37.720.2 wwe

Radio Version: 1.00.25.03
Which update would be the best for my phone at the moment?

just out of curiosity which band are you on 3g or gsm - the newer roms start 1.93 have a look in the diamond roms forum for one which suits your needs, preferably one with a new radio, if you are experiencing signal problems.

One quick question Karim099,
Out of the ROM series on that list, how do I know which HTC version my phone is? I have the P3490.
-Johnny
all official 1.93 roms are almost similar but each one has its own regional settings according to the CID (country ID)
you can flash only the WWE version because it matches your phone's CID ( unless you CID unlock your device using HardSpl)
i know there are multiple WWE roms. so i advise you to download the upgrade from the htc.com official website according to your device serial number.
regards,
Karim
The official website was my first stop when trying to upgrade my phone. Unfortunately, there are no ROM updates available for my serial number on the site.
Will the WWE versions be the only version that will work successfully? I haven't unlocked anything for my device.

I have an unlocked HD that I purchased from Hong Kong (Plemix) which appears to be the European version (there's a small label on the phone box that says Dystrybutor Brightpoint Poland SP. Z o.o). Are any other radios out there from any device compatible with this phone? Or will any other radio not made for the blackstone specifically brick the phone? Like everybody else I'm using radio 1.09.25.14. My hope is that one day very soon there will be a radio that will simply make 3G work in the US with AT&T. The phone box specs does state HSPA/WCDMA 900/2100MHZ Quad Band 850/900/1800/1900 MHZ. Thanks.

At the moment you can only upgrade Blackstone radio to another official version signed by HTC. Changing radio ROM on Diamond and Raphael is possible, however there's no radio available that makes 3G work. General conclusion is that it takes more than flashing a radio to make this happen.
Actually there is just one radio version for the blackstone, isn't it? So there isn't much to share at all .

Yes, I have. I am currently using radio from build 19949. I can definitely say it has better reception in my area. I tried them out before posting them up. However refer to the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455353&page=3 posts: 33-41 for more info.

I have already flashed few differents radios from Raphael and Touch HD, they working without any problem. You only need to make NBH file with NBHUtil and make sure in XML of this program there is 0x300 for Xperia radio (orginally Olipro/Cmonex adds 0x301 but it's wrong). If in xml is 0x301 device shoudn't be bricked (if its hardspl) but it will not change the radio.

Thank you for this post - I can see it's significant, but as a lesser mortal I cannot grasp the full meaning, so:

2) we need to edit the XML of the radio nbh file to 0x300 ? Or some other XML file, or ... WHAT, please ?
Could someone start a radio thread. And make these rádio's for Xperia???

Thank you very much! You answered my question about why after flashing different radio's the version in device info never changed. Now after the xml was corrected, I bricked my device two times soon after flashing the prototype Radio and ATT Fuze one. It tells me that American Rom, supporting the 850 UMTS in ATT Fuze did not like the guts of the x1i. So it very much could be the lack of hardware for it? If only we could try the prototype radio for the same evaluation purposes. How come we cannot flash the prototype rom back on x1i?

Thank you, fards!
Could anybody help on this, please. We would all like to test the prototype radio. It could be a software switch that enables 850 UMTS if there is hardware for it. In prototype Rom there were all UMTS bands listed. After flashing the Att Fuze radio onto my x1i I had to go through the "unbricking" process. It did not like the american radio for some reason.
If anyone knows how to edit and flash the prototype Radio portion on x1i, please give us a hint. The device ID does not match when attempting to flash with radio b19949.
Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you.
The murk seems to deepen.
I still have a simpleton question above unanswered, but now we seem to have people who do know the answer to that question bricking their device, with evidence pointing to a hardware difference.
Perhaps when we have a genuine X1a radio file to compare with an X1i radio file, we may advance.
For sure, Qualcomm's greed is now stuffing up half the globe.

I'd leave it for a bit if you don't know, as it could get messy. When it's sorted then start playing
However from what I understand (can't help myself I like to play)
the xml referred to is the nbhutil.xml in most of the kitchens (including the kovsky)
Sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, but it looks like it allows you to "resign" the radio much the same way as hex editing it does. I linked to the discussion thread on that one earlier.

Guys it isn't a problem to modify 0x300, but to change the device ID to be able to flash the prototype at least. Some folks flashed with the similar band Radio's from Diamond or Raphael successfully.
I was not able to flash any American (with 850 UMTS support) Radio yet, nor the prototype radio. We need an expertise on further guidance.

Thank you for the reply. I can easily hexedit a file, but I needed to know which file of course.
I have an X1a on order - supposed to be delivered in maybe 2 weeks. I'm in Aus in an area serviced by the 850Mhz frequency, so I'll be able to give a definitive. When the thing does arrive and everything works out of the box, I'll do a "pcoread" and upload the raw ROM files here.
SE have stated to me in an email that there is no X1a, X1i etc, only an X1. At this point, I'll suspend disbelief. Also the UK retailer I am purchasing from (who has in the past proved reliable and honest) is doing the "funky chicken" about actual supply date, although they say they have stock. I made it very clear to them that if the 850Mhz is crippled, the thing goes straight back for an instant refund ... so we'll see.
HERE´S MY 2 CENTS - HOPE THIS HELPS YOU GUYS:
I have a "european" X1i
I am using my euro-SEX1i on my 850MHz provider: TELEMOVIL-TIGO
I am connecting to 850MHz GSM/EDGE
It "has" the UMTS 850MHz band "listed" in the phone settings menu, but when I manually select it the phone can't connect
I can use 850MHz GSM but not 850MHz UMTS
My ROM version: 1.02.931
My RADIO version: 1.06.25.29
My CPU: Qualcomm 7200A
My Model identity: X1i
My software: "Generic UK"
PS: my provider DOES offer GSM and UMTS over 850MHz, so I am sure it is the phone and not the provider
Found this on the Raphael section: http://rapidshare.com/files/163298875/Raphael_Radio_1.09.25.14.zip
Anyway to convert it to Xperia??
Ok guys, just flashed my Radio. At first I did edit the hex value to 0x300, like described here. I flashed using the default ruu update tool and I got an error, which bricked my device. So I moved to the SD-Card method and flashed directly from it. Same problem - update goes up to 100% and then quits with an error. The device is unusable.
However, when changing just the Raphael value in the nbh file - from RAPH***** to KOVS***** the update worked perfectly fine. I flashed back to the default radio version and now to the newest Touch Pro radio. The new version is not shown in the device information panel, but I can say for sure that it worked. When reception is lost its back in 1 second - before that it took 5-10 seconds. I will report back after using the device outside ...

No radio cab will "unlock" the UMTS 850Mhz frequency in the X1i, in my view.
I've posted on this in the 850Mhz thread - the X1i and X1a have differing hardware (likely the radio crystals cured to specific but differing frequencies) and HTC as assembler have separate production runs, as they did for the Touch HD ... my source for this is a very disgruntled retailer.
It's one on-going result of the Qualcomm patent theft US Court decision, of course.
Improved phone reception however is a big plus though, so I will try it, but the post should have listed the radio version number for the Touch Pro cab he installed. Not doing this just adds to the confusion unecessarily.
Anyway, HTC Touch Pro (Raphael) is UMTS 900/2100 only. UMTS 850MHz is not lised (source: HTC.com and pdadb.net).
Regarding UMTS 850, I guess the HTC Touch Diamond 110's radio (North american version) should be "the one" to try.
Curiously enough, Touch Pro and Diamond 110 have the same Qualcomm MSM7201A chip... but different bands ??
If somebody can provide that radio (from the north american diamond OR even better,FROM THE X1A) then I am willing to try it on my Xperia.
This is the only way to find out if the "european" X1i Xperia is UMTS 850 capable or not.

No, you're wrong, I have World Wide Edition (WWE) with GSM and accpets any SIM card.
He is not wrong. There is one GSM version and another CDMA/GSM version. So better look that guide, both versions support GSM, but only one CDMA, that one is CDMA version and you need CDMA ROMs for it. You rly don't want to put wrong ROM on it...

yeah thats why they call it the worldwide edition or world phone, if he flash a wrong rom he can brick it
So it's better to wait for the W6.5 ROM for worldwide edition, but they're too late.
But GSM phones usually have the "WWE" tag, I think some of you guys are confusing things with the CDMA "Worldphone" (Rhod-W).
The sure way to tell is to see what model number it is, e.g. RHOD100, RHOD210, RHOD500 etc. This is printed near the serial number, under the battery (or on the bootloader screen if you go into bootloader mode).
I don't know where you're looking on the HTC website, but there's a GSM ROM here, that might be the one you found anyway.

Agreed, but I think you might be confusing things by mentioning "worldwide edition" (back in post 5 of this thread), because the GSM English phones are normally "WWE". I think you mean "worldphone" in this instance, as you've said above.
