i doubt it Removes / changes the CID or the Security Level without the radio being patched.

@walshieau
fair enough, It also not supposed to "unlock" 850MHz bands for so called "tri-band" Diamonds missing 850MHz antenna all the way
If this radio removes regional protection, then it worth to investigate. We need more info.

It sounds like a solution for some others with russian Diamonds and unable to switch to WWE firmware (?) Interesting..

cool...so this means we have to upgrade the radio first rite? and then flash any ROM to the device n it will work i suppose
any news on the CID unlock for the 2G diamond?

you have to flash hardspl too

So basically Diamond in India which is 2G rite .., can be flashed with all ROMS now ..
I haven't got the device yet so unsure .. , Indian phones lack 3g Hardware is that correct ?

yes and supposedly not but no way to test without 3g =p

Hmm so have you tried flashing any ROMS based on 3g radio ?

yes...........

What is the 3G Rom you are using ?

so guys ... can u tell me with this solution can v able to unlock the sim lock of touch diamond??please put some light on this matter...

No .. there's a separate thread for SIM UNLOCK discussions here

That's why i mentioned that Me_p's ROM is new one.. That's the same one 1.37.720.2 WWE.. Boinger66.. Dont think this is old ROM as quoted by Outkasted..
I bought mine one for 26,700, from distributor directly.. Eagerly waiting to see it on 8th when i get it in hand (my relative coming back with it from Kerala)
tho am in India i got the 3g model
I really dont understand why they would release a 2g version just for the Indian market
when 3g is gonna come out in airtel and vodafone in mid sep.another wierd marketing strategy
anyone from chennai know where they service HTC phones ?
Question
Hi Guys,
if anyone is aware may be from past experiences, How will we be getting official ROM updates? will it be through Airtel or will be via HTC eCLub?
Thanks

Why is it not advised for flashing? Due to SIM locks? Someone mentioned non edge radio, what if i flash the rom without the radio? possible?

Please read the WIKI!! To make sure that you are flashing the correct ROM to the right DEVICE!!

If you had truly read the wiki then you would understand that the imate brought out the 1.54.30.10 radio with the latest ROM upgrade here
Release thread was here. Now do a careful upgrade and report what's it like in Pakistan
allow me to help because it seems like you've gotten lost in translation and this is getting out of hand.
if you flashed your Black Satin rom then you obliviously know what you're doing to some degree. in regards to your radio rom question: flashing a radio rom does not effect the OS rom you have (black satin). the only thing flashing the radio rom does effect is your phones cellular radio, i.e., your carrier signal strength, data connection speed. since im in Philadelphia i cant really help you decide on which radio will work best in your area. i can only point you here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
these are the known radio roms available for the Hermes. at best, i can say start with 1.47.XX and see what works best for your area. good luck to you.
Thunda i also read that page. .. . no wheres it written which rom is for which part of the world ?
Shd i download the last (latest ) one ,, , ?

Hmm ... I am in New Zealand, and I am testing the latest radio rom, and it is working well, what works well for one country may not work for others, I would stick to the one the manufacturer's made for you. It is good for you to flash a shipped rom for your device first then any other rom you wish to keep after that. FYI I have an imate jasjam and I am running the latest radio, but doesn't mean that you should too.

If there isn't a Radio produced by a carrier in Pakistan then you are going to have to try a few Radios to see which one is best for you. Please use a MicroSD card to update your Radio as we don't want your next thread title to be "Please help, I bricked my phone".

try 1.54 or 1.48 radio. 1.54 is the orginal shipped radio for 8525 wm6 from at&t/cingular. i remember using that one in India, and it worked just fine for me.

As mentioned by some of the great members like Wam7, Zocster, and thunda_chunky, read as much as you can before flashing a new radio ROM. So much of what goes on here is trial and error. All you can do is try to eliminate the error. I am running the same radio as Zocster, 1.56.70.11, and it holds the highest signal strength of any previous radio I've had. That doesn't mean it will for you depending on your carrier and location.
mikehippe, Agreed, I'm trying out 1.56.70.11 on my jasjam and though others say its awesome, I'm not too impressed by it here in Oz... Oh well, back to 1.54.30.10.....
Cheers...

Will North American Diamond Work With Custom ROM'S...?

I bought the North American Version of the Diamond (lil bit thicker and with NA 3G Bands) and I'm wondering if these offerings will work with it without bricking it...
I had a previous bad experience flashing an Elf ROM onto my Elfin, which bricked it. I need to be sure this time. I searched the forum and google but could not come up with an answer...
Thanks for your help...
Btw I mean the North American GSM version of the Diamond. Not the Victor (CDMA:Sprint, Telus and Bell)
I flashed mine with no problem at all, just make sure you HARD-SPL your diamond first.

it is incorrect .. i am having one and have been flashing almost all the ROms out here , ... It is only that the 3g network key ( registery ) is locked and it does not work ...
I have been flashing Roms from major players here and there is absolutely no issues .. see my signature for the latest ROM .
3g and video call options doesnt work ( as it is not network supported and d as there is no secondary camera )
3g is just an optional just like wifi , if the network supports only it works ... i have been receiving phone calls even with the 3g button on on my com manager .
Only challange is the battery .. you will have to buy the 1400mh bigger battery and back panel for a decent battery backup ... its around 2 k out here .... i say go ahead buddy ... its all good out here with our diamond .
cheers mate Ameet .. long time .....

It just depends what you want.
Do you want a light rom or a full rom? I think you should choose a 2.03 rom for example the Aztor X2 WWE. If you don't like it you can always choose an other rom.

can i get my original spl, Radio etc by using Stock Rom Upgrade, which is available at HTC India ???
If you cant figure out what is best for you just by reading the loads of help and stickied threads, maybe you should not be doing this to your phone.
IMHO, you should install the dev hardspl as the other one will severely limit what you can do. I noticed your in India, is your device a 3g diamond? If not, you will need to do more reading.

Traditionally, you can get back to the original SPL but it's very crucial that you find this out for sure as it's ultimately your responsibility if anything happens. I read for days before crossing the line.
