Difference between HTC Diamond and Orange HTC Diamond? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Is there any hardware difference in these two models? I have Diam100 I beleive which is original HTC phone.
Would it be possible to get orange HTC and unlock it and then use it as a normal Diamond from HTC with some customs rom and Hardspl in Europe?

AFAIK the difference is Orange logo at back and branded software. Nothing more.
And I have a HTC-branded EU Diamond and it is DIAM100.

Would it be possible to get orange HTC and unlock it and then use it as a normal Diamond from HTC with some customs rom and Hardspl in Europe?

Yes! you can do this with all diamonds and you can install every rom you'd like on every diamond phone because chiefs cook roms with DIAM*** wildcard

Vodafone HTC Diamond

I returned my orange HTC diamond as the coverage was rubbish back to the store and my vodafone HTC diamond arrived. I can confirm it comes with a case. And it does not look to bad. How long should I charge it for?
what ROMs?
what rom version are on the vodafone version, I have a orange one and the batterys crap and I am having problems getting HTC and orange to get a new rom

I am just charging it right now, but once done I will post the rom version.
I got a VF one, first thing I did was flash to the HTC OEM version, the VF one is slow as hell, what would be useful though is to get the SAT app back, although not desperate for it as I have TT7 now which is excellent. VF really know how to screw a ROM up, they did the same to the TYTN one.
I actually lashed my orange one with the euro rom and found it pants, this voda rom is not so bad, except for the colour. PLus side it is unlocked. Right my rom and radio are as follows:
ROM 1.37.161.2WWE
ROM DATE 06/26/08
RADIO 1.00.25.03
PRROTOCOL 52.26A.25.09U
Orange Diamond
I got mine from Orange yesterday. i too have noticed the poor 35 coverage - the device is most of the times in G mode.
although it's Orange branded , i got it through Phones4U. So at least it doesn't have the Orange usual crap colorings and themes. (it looks exactly as the usual HTC stuff).
because i'm horribly new to this diamond stuff, i still don't know whether the rom is original HTC or Orange version. Could anyone confirm if his Orange rom version is different from the one in my signature? thanks.
at least i'm still in the 7-day cooling off period and can return.
The orange rom is the generic rom, I got mine from phones 4u also. Orange were not able to tango the rom in a rush to get ot out. Though the store demo ones I saw are tangoes.

Also if you upgrade you radio to .05 version you will see an improvement. I spent money unlocking mine to return it oh well. As I travel a lot and in my office there was no reception.

interesting. thanks.
i've also spent money on unlocking. i donated $55 to xda yesterday b4 3pm, it's now past 10 a.m. & have not received the unlock code yet
Is the vodafone HTC diamond really UNlocked? that could decide it on whether i upgrade with Orange or go to Vodafone? Also, has anyone compared Orange Diamond to Voda Diamond in terms of responsiveness etc...?
Thanks
anyone has the vodafone uk rom?
I have flashed my diamond before dumped it.
Nice to have it as backup.
Thank you.
Vodafone UK Rom
I have a brand new Vodafone HTC Diamond. I do not like the white-red looks, I'd rather have the black one.
But wouldn't flashing the rom invalidate my 2 year warranty?
I have found the dump.arj (Vodaphone rom dump), though not sure how to put it back to my phone if I need to... Instructions provided in that thread were confusing, but they become more clear once I have managed to download the kitchen (currently unavailable )
And then - which new rom is the best for UK (has most bug fixes and best performance)?
Sorry for my ignorance but this is the first try to flash any roms... I would be really grateful for some hints/advice

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?

HD2 HTC version and HD2 T-mobile version touch-screen differences???

I have HTC HD2 form T-mobile USA. The touch screen is not working. To change it I have some questions.
I know that there is 2 versions of touch screens: T-mobile version and HTC version. I guess I should use T-mobile version of touch screen but can't find one. So I want to know can I make a combination with HTC version of touch-screen?
thanx in advance

The t-mobile versions are all over ebay. You will also want to get the lcd/digitizer combination as they are difficult to seperate and glue back together.
