Friends who have bought an Official Diamond from HTC outlets, please let me know which ROM version is being sold, as worry is the UK stock was supposedly witheld for a ROM update.. Are we getting updated ROM or not??
Also mention the RAM and ROM reads from Indian versions..
look at the diamond rom section here. There are 1.34 and 1.35 rom updates posted. The latest rom anyone has seems to be 1.37 - i expect it will be posted soon.
Thanks someone1234, but i raised the question because the Indian Version is going to be different - Non 3G version, hence the ROM versions may be different...
Hey does it mean no one's as yet bought a diamond in India???
Is official sale in India started or not???
safe to say that...
ppl that claim they have bought have yet to respond and claim from where and source...
so probably no one has it yet
Diamond In India ! Yipee !
I got the diamond yesterday in India for 35k that is about 900USD. It is not official, does not come with a warranty. Seems like a HK version piece to me. The ROM version is 1.35 WWE, Date 05/28/08 - Since I got it I have run advanced config on it and tweaked it by increasing cache size. It is noticably faster now.

from where? and what city are you in ?
The Indian Diamond is supposed to launch on the 27th of June afaik.
Its different from the EU versions, uses the MSM7206A processor with no 3G radio
HTC India
the processor on my instrument is Qualcomm 7201A and I have upgraded to ROM version 1.37 WWE. This device also has 3G, I am guessing the official indian version might not. I am located in Delhi and bought it from a dealer here.
Thats not the offical version then.
id rather have the one with 3g than without
I bought my 3G Diamond here in Delhi for 35 Grand its HK version i think and paying 25000/- for non 3g one ...i think 35000 is a good deal.
same here soulpilot, good to have 3G should be getting launched in India in the next9-12 months anyway
Guys, any other difference (other than 3G) between the processors MSM7201A (Worldwide) & MSM7206A (Indian) ??
Not as far as I know. Only difference in the Radio implementation.
One major negative in buying the 3G in India is most HTC service centers will refuse to even touch your phone if theres any problem with it due to the incompatible processors. Some might oblige but most wont. Taken my singapore HTC to the service center the other day for a panel switch and was talking to the service guys about it. He said most of the service centers wont touch any of the 3G diamonds.
i hope the cooked roms work equally well for the indian version as well.

I didnt know the 3g touch diamond is available in India.
Can someone (I see amit221 and soulpilot bot it in Delhi) let me know where they bought it from in the Delhi region?
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
Be easy on me. This is all semi-Greek to me.
I bought a TyTN II from Expansys a year ago. Generally speaking, it's been a good phone...mostly.
Had to send it in to HTC get some warranty work done. While it was in the shop, I went to my local AT&T store and bought a new Tilt to use while my TyTN II was in the shop. While travelling the hinterlands of North Dakota and Minnesota, I noticed a significant difference between the Tilt's ability to grab a signal in these remote areas, and the abilities of my TyTN II to do the same.
Upon inquiry with HTC as to this noticed difference, they said it could be a radio issue. That my Expansys supplied, (European, I think) TyTN II would not necessarily have the optimum radio set for the US market. Now that I have my TyTN II back, I want to upgrade the radio and/or ROM.
So, how do I do this? I understand conceptually what they're saying, but to go beyond this, I'm kind of at a loss. If you can help me, please take me step by step. Where do I download? What version? How do I download, etc.
I have the following:
WM 6.1 Professional
CE OS 5.2.19212 (Build 19212.1.0.3)
ROM Version: 3.28.405.0 WWE
ROM Date: 05/02/08
Radio Version 1.65.17.56
Protocol Version: 25.83.40.02H
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Oh yeah, if it makes a difference, I live and travel mostly in MN, ND, SD, and Iowa, but national travel is fairly often. No International travel.

Hi
any help would be appreciated I have a UK Kaiser (TYTN II) that I am selling and a potential buyer wants to know if it will work in the USA can anyone answer this or tell me if there is a ROM or something that would be needed.
Thanks
Kat
You should be OK with the stock ROM; I've been using a UK Kaiser on the AT&T 3G network for over a year, running the factory WM 6.0 ROM.
If his network uses GSM/UMTS standards then yes.
Thanks for the help guys

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and to Windows Mobile. I'm planning to get a new Diamond 2 in The Netherlands. Searching I've found that I can get the MDA Compact V version from T-Mobile NL or go for the HTC Diamond 2 version on T for Telecom. My biggest concern is that I want to have the device in ENGLISH, does anyone from The Netherlands know which versions are sold here and which language they ship with?
Is it possible to change the language afterwards in case it comes in dutch? I've seen some threads talking about the need of flashing the ROM for this. I'm a really new to all this so I don't know if that is possible using official HTC ROMS or is something else...
I don't know if I make much sense, sorry again if I talk non-sense.
Thanks!
In almost every shop you can choose between the NLD (Dutch) version and the UK (WWE) version. Just ask at the shop.
Thanks, I'll try that. I had assumed that being in The Netherlands all shops will be selling only the Dutch version.
Sorry, but you can't chose between langages in the shops in The Hague, especialy at Bel Company. They don't care if you want an english version and they become very arogant about that. Best thing is to buy one in dutch if they don't want to provide one in english and ask nicely CMONEX to help you to change the language in english.
Thanks for the info iulnitu. I'll check on Saturday and see if I can get it in English. It's a bit strange that this happened to you at Bel Company. In their website they are announcing both version NL and UK, you can check here:
http://www.belcompany.nl/NL/Ik_Wil/een_nieuw_toestel.htm
Anyway, I'll guess I'll find out personally this Saturday. Anyone with a similar experience?
pdashop.nl sells devices in NL en ENG. Other sites do too.
T-Mobile will probably only sell the Dutch device. If you want to get a WWE version you'll have to look at a HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Not MDA Compact V).
