Yes of-course you can
Take a look at the sticky threads in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=430 they contain everything you need to know.
Your hardest decision will be what ROM to choose (there are so many).
Perhaps someone can recommend one - I'm personally using duttys 3.6b.
Good luck, Steve.
Already flashed
OK, when i switch on the phone it says Touch Diamond even thoguh it should be an MDA compact IV from T-Mobile, does this mean it already has the HardSPL? and tha it has already been flashed with a different rom?

Well, I'm going to guess that it's because the phone you have is CDMA based, not GSM (you have a Harrier, not quite a blue angel).
More than likely, the hooks into the OS from the radio stack are very different between GSM and CDMA, and since it appears that the only ROM's anyone was able to get a hold of for WM5 were for the GSM version of the phone, no one was able to build anything for the Harrier.
IIRC, the main reason there is even a WM5 for the Blue Angel is that someone got a hold of a ROM dump from a development Blue Angel running WM5.
Your MDA II (Himalaya) is GSM. Most of the rest of the world uses GSM, so those ROM's are the most common.
That's my theory.
You can upgrade your device with WM5 only if you have rom specific created for it, but as far as i know there is no such rom outside microsoft labs
hi all
I am a bit confused ( dont take much these days) is the HTC TYTN II the Kaiser, as they look very similar and when i google it thats what i find..
also as anyone got one recently from t-mobile as i am due a upgrade and how much did they pay for it.
Cheers for the help
Neel
Yes the Kaiser was renamed the TyTN II. Not sure about your second question.
HTC Kaiser / HTC TyTn II / T-Mobile Vario III = all the same thing
(except the Vario looks cheap and nasty)
T-Mobile is a worldwide company and people from across that world read this forum. Which T-mobile are you talking about?
I'm referring to the UK variant.

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you, but at the OP.
i am in the UK
As far as I know Kaiser is/was the name given by HTC during the development of the device. It is now sold as the HTC Tytn II. TMobile UK are selling/will be selling this as the MDAvario III. Vodaphone UK will also carry this device as V165 or something similar.All of these devices are manufactured by HTC. Most providers will have their own customised ROM installed. Currently we are unable to CID unlock these devices and so we are stuck with default provider ROMs. Eventually I am sure Pof or some other genius on here will work out how to CID unlock them and then the fun begins with our own customised ROMs.
Yep they are all Kaisers = generic name for all of them
TyTn II is the one sold under the HTC name and then as said above you have all the other variants as well.

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting a T-mobile wing, but i am signed up for at&t. Whoops... Just wondering, is this possible? Will the same features be if i unlock it? Thanks. - DhaMajor
wing and wingS is two different device, if you have a wing, refer to the specific subforum
(t mo wing is a touchscreen ppc, instead the wings is a smartphone, with wm standard and without touchscreen)
Hi,
I'm about to buy this device and i know it is a Diamond clone but i read in a lot of sites that it has only 128Mb of RAM and the Diamond has 192Mb!
Anyone with a MDA can please URGENTLY confirm this information?
got my mda compact iv the day tmobile released it, i can definatly say mine has 192mb of ram, i heard the same thing when tmobile launched it, that they where supplying a cheaper 128mb version, in the end it worked out people where getting them confused with a gray import version you could buy from hongkong which only had 128mb, dont know if tmobile have switched since but doubt it,
to answer your question anyway, my compact iv has 192mb,
.ps. flash it soon as you get it the tmobile radio and rom are ****,
oh thank you thank you!
I'm getting one from ebay and it is a original T-Mobile so i think it is not a fake...
Goddamn misinformation... And to confuse even more the hardware keys are inverted too!
So you can confirm that i can flash any of these Diamond ROMs out there?
Thanks mate!
Yes,
The only difference between the two is the outer casing and the key layout.
You can flash any ROM to the MDA Compact IV (currently running Shaks 4.20).

Hi
I bought a MDA / diamond touch 2 off ebay locked to t mobile, i had it unlocked today but found out 3g wont work because tmobile have specific locked network settings! I'm nervous to flash the rom because its a MDA and no roms are listed for it, anyone know what if any roms and radio I should use to get t mobile out and o2 in?
Thanks
you'd probably better post this question in the right forum, you have a 'Topaz' (that's what the Diamond2 in here is called);
You posted in Diamond1 forum which is a different device....yours is alot newer
