Will North American Diamond Work With Custom ROM'S...? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

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.

Which ROM have you flashed?

I just got my U.S. 3G Diamond also.Please let me know which ROM work's the best,also which Radio is best,THANKS

I bought a north american version of the Touch Diamond....I have updated it at least 20 times,tried out different roms....and still kicking.....all you gotta do is follow the steps.
-I used Olipro´s unlock tool and NO problem whatsoever.
If you have any questions just shoot me a PM.
See ya.

I currenly use PDAMOBIZ rom, in my personal opinion is the best of all the roms (I tried almost everyone of them)

So everything is fine...

Will inevitably try others and I advise you to do the same. As it says it the ROM flashing sticky there is no BEST ROM... it's all a personal choice...

Dunno which old versions you guys use...
mine is: 1.27.407.1 - original htc rom running on a german T-Mo MDA mail..(S620 without wifi)
oh yeah and radio : 4.1.13.44_02.94.90

No we are only talking about the T-Mobile Rom wm6...
Of course different Roms means different Version number, They have correspondants but obviously Rom:1.22.531.6 is brand new for T-Mobile Dash WM6 ...
While the new ROM is nice, the key thing here are the individual revision numbers:
CE OS?
Radio?
RIL?
How much available storage? Etc...
Oh okay, did not get that in the first place ^^
Pardon me guys...
So what is the difference in the new rom? I am not running the Tmobile version, using original Htc version 1.27.405.1 but always looking for better.

Well I have it but I don't even know....I'm hoping someone knows better than me.
Makes me wonder if they finally fixed that annoying MyFaves bug that prevented you from changing the icons... unfortunately, T-Mo's download center is only showing 1.22.531.4 for downloading.
i got my dash about a month ago and its got original rom that came from t mobile installed.. its a stock tmobile wm6 rom version 1.22.531.6 the radio version is 4.1.13.34_02.79.90 not sure wat all this means but if it helps u guys ill post the info needed off of my fone ..now i never any problems doing the things i wanted to do with the fone nor i have experienced any difficulties installing progs and changing registry info after i have app unlocked it, and my fone has never frozen .. not sure of differences between roms and such but im just posting this info up so that hopefully maybe it'll help some of u.. just offering my services to you all
My radio version is 4.1.13.44_02.94.90 and rom 1.27.412.1
That rom version suffer the reboot loop???? im getting mad putting and removing sd every time i reset

same here!
Read the Kaiser Wiki or the dutch ROM dump thread here in diamond forum for dumping instructions.
I could also extract my original (german) htc rom - but i do not know how. if someone can put me in the right direction, i will do this.
No one uploads his ROM
OK let's start with some hints
first read this:
push me
post #18 shows you the way, but read from the beginning to understand the dump procedure.
The tool don't work ?
read this (point 6)
Come on guys, lasst es uns wagen..
i could give it a try - but is it worth trying since i only have the rom version 1.37.00.00? i think there's a newer rom out there, isn't there?

So it seems that YOU have to dump your rom However I did read that a higher number (1.37.407.2 > 1.37.00.00) does not inevitable imply a newer rom. Does someone know something about that?
Anyway I ask myself how it could be that the phone is out just a few days in germany and there are almost so much different rom versions?
Btw: Do you have an original HTC device or a branded one?

Also anyone with an indian diamond do not flash any roms available on forums yet

they still think they can get away by ignoring the major indian market [email protected]!

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 ?

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?

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?

Thanx for the info.. So I have your modded panosha' ROM as the only option left? For the moment I dont see any big difference with it to the original stock rom apart from a little more Storage memory. Only thing I dislike is the SMS and MMS accounts being together

Good news for 2G Diamond owners PLEASE READ IMPORTANT

With the new radio 1.00.25.05
it removes the region lock that prevented us from flashing various 3g roms
so no more need to convert for me

Hey boinger !!!
This is the Happiest news , I have heard !!! after i have bought daimond
@boinger66

Could you also verify that your CID/security level has not been changed?

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.

Original, up-to-date Diamond Rom

Heey people,
could someone please tell me where to get the latest official rom from HTC?
Cus i have a branded version of the Diamond, so i cant download it from their site.
I hope one of you knows where to get that latest version without having to use the serialnumber of my phone, because that serial number doesn't work.
Thanks in advance!
