Hello, I've been trying to SIM unlock my new HTC Touch Diamond, but I've been having some issues. MOD EDIT and I've used it on my phone. I've managed to sim unlock my phone with it, therefore I am now able to use my old SIM card. However, since those ROM upgrades it made I've been having a lot of issues with the phone. I found stuff randomly crashing in it (such as manila.exe), my battery is consuming really fast, and even ActiveSync has some trouble sync-ing sometimes.
I've been thinking to restore my phone to its initial state, but I didn't know how to do that. I made a backup with some software the phone came with (Sprite Backup), but I can't restore that backup now. I am assuming that I have this issues because it had some very old versions of radio or such.
Here's what I see when I start my device with volume_down+reset:
Security Unlocked (as a title)
DIAM 100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x32
Also, here's what it shows me on Device information:
ROM version: 1.93.479.3 WWE
ROM date: 07/25/08
Radio version: 1.20.Olinex
Protocol version: ...
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do now to make my phone work better. I've been thinking at upgrading the radio by following the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211. Will that help me? Also, if I update the radio, will my phone still be unlocked? Because the first time I had to run a DiamUnlock.exe in my phone and disable the sim unlock very quickly.
If my phone has a SIM lock again, can I run the same DiamUnlock.exe again to sim unlock it?
Moreover, I've downloaded "[ROM][WWE][23.07.08]Hong Kong Official ROM - 1.93.831.1 52.29.25.12H_1.00.25.05" from your forums, and I would also like to upgrade to it. Will that leave my HardSPL there? Also, will that keep my phone SIM unlocked?
This phone is locked in the Vodafone RO network.
I apologize if I posted this thread in the wrong category, but this seemed like the most appropriate one. Also, I apologize if I didn't make a lot of sense, but I'm a newbie. I welcome additional questions if you have any.
Best Regards,
Steven
