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

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

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.

Hi
Before I start posting for real I just want to double check that this is the correct section for my device. I bought it as a HTC TyTN II on the Orange network in the UK. I'm really confused by all the names these can be called by so if someone can confirm I'm in the right place that would be great...someone said I have a Hermes but the picture doesn't look quite right! Would it be a good idea to include as many of the various names on the forum index as poss?
Thanks
A TyTN II is a kaiser one, not a hermes. Hermes is the first TyTN

Look at the pictures
Great thanks for that - I tried a search on the general site for 'model list' but didn't find that page,
Thanks again - now all is clearer...
The Kaiser comes under a plethora of different names:
HTC TyTn II
T-Mobile MDA Vario III
AT&T Tilt (Pretty much the same without the front camera)
Vodafone v1615
O2 XDA Stellar (There are rumours that this has an FM radio built in but the O2 UK stores and website deny this)
Greetings guys for a while I've been searching for a Radio Update for my Diamond to enable 3G, but to no avail the best Im getting is Edge. And then I found out by reading some threads that I may have a European Version of the HTC Diamond but on the other hand Ive seen this website
http://www.welectronics.com/gsm/hTC/HTC-TOUCH-DIAMOND-US-3G.HTML
Which states that the HTC Diamond P3700 is a US 3G phone which I currently own ??? can someone educate me on this like which HTC diamond model number is which and best suited for what country thank you...
I have got an MDA compact IV which should be almsot identical to the Touch Diamond, it was on T-mobile but now seems to me Unlocked and de-branded. anyway my question is can i update its ROM with a Diamond ROM? and if not what do i need to do to use Diamond ROMs?

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?
dear Forum
I am living in Switzerland, and i got from a US friend his "old" TP2 because he bought the new i-phone...
now i am here in Europe and can't use it because it only accepts T-Mobile SIM cards (which we don't have in Switzerland).
Moreover i am travelling quite often because of my profession and i'm usually buying local SIM's....
Does anyone know if there is a ROM which unlocks this device?
would be great if this also contains TomTom or CoPilot navigation as i own those licences arelady frommy previous device.
As I know there are two versions of TP2:
- the "normal" HTC
- the T-mobile version which got brownish color and lacks a front cam....
my question is specifically about the brownish T-mobile version.
thanks for your help

There is no ROM that will unlock your phone for you. You have to either call T-Mobile and get them to unlock the phone for you or ask your friend to call T-Mobile for the unlock code, OR you can pay to have it unlocked by providing the IMEI number to someone who knows how to unlock it. Also, ROMs generally do not come cooked with TomTom or CoPilot, so you'd have to install those separately. I'm sure if you looked around you could find the cab files to install them.
that's interesting... my old diamond came with simlock from a local carrier... after flashing it with an open ROM, the simlock was gone...
that's why I am asking if there is simlock-free ROM for this specific type of TP2...
for the "normal" one i saw plenty ROM's but because of the differences i am sceptic if they would work.
thx for ur hints
You don't need a ROM, you need to SIM-unlock your device. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555339
