HTC Diamond, cant flash...

[Ydutry4]

Hey guys,

first off im a newbie & i have trawled thru countless threads etc. I just bought a Telstra branded Diamond which id like to update to the optus rom (im with them). From wat i undastand, a hardspl is needed before attempting to flash a rom. Ive tried olinex signed, developer edition etc successfully. These are meant to enable u to flash any rom, but wen i try to add the optus or other official rom i get the invalid id error...

Wat am i doing wrong??? Thanks in advanced.

Search here for the diamond unlocker utility if you haven't yet. I have a cdma Diamond from sprint but this site is mostly gsm so I'm sure you want to get the right unlocker, not sure what would happen or if the unlockers are different for gsm and cdma but they probably are. Hope I helped.:)

It came unlocked from factory, it accepted my optus sim & has functionality. Is that wat u meant?

cid unlock is carrier id unlock basically you want to have your diamond cid unlocked before you flash various carrier roms on it. If it came sim unlocked than cid is probably locked to htc thus constricting you to official htc rom updates only.

cid unlock your diamond and than proceed with flashing other roms.

After more experimenting it worked! Found hardspl unsigned, flashed the olinex 1.93 version followed by flashing optus rom HA-ZAAAAAAAH ;)

Do you have a link to the optus rom that you used? Was it this one (generic AU)?
