You could just flash a stock HTC rom or flash one of the custom ROMs here. Either way, you will have a branded-free phone. Just check the threads and find a ROM that you like. Since you almost certainly have a GSM phone, don't flash a CDMA (Sprint) ROM as that will most likely brick your phone.

If you ask the XDA wiki these same questions, you will find your answers in details.

2 simple steps:
1: hardspl
2: flash a rom from the forum
...
3: rt*m

being difficult is all part of the jounery here:)

when you are going to flash you will lose all data on the internal memory you will find some free backup software on this site to use.

I have Vista and windows mobile center works well for me.

good luck

Use PPC PimBackup for SMS's, contacts etc.
For programs, think about using sashimi.

You can TRY Sprite Backup, but I wouldn't recommend it as a primary solution.

Last but not least, use the search feature.

Help yourself, and you will be helped. Don't expect us to spoon feed you.

Not necessarily true. A diamond is much easier to unlock (yellowsn0w isn't a true unlock anyways).

Please take time to read the Diamond wiki pages and search the forum, you're not the first noob on this site, and if everyone of them created thier own thread, what state would the forum be in :)

There are forum guidelines (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=221545)for a reason.

Thanks
