Hi All,

Sorry, there is so much information on this site, i'm lost.

Can someone please provide links to what I need to download and install to upgrade a stock standard telstra diamond touch so I can get it working correctly with Optus?

Thanks.

OK, i've upgraded the bootloader to the hard spl, and the radio version is already at 1.00.25.06 (do you think its worth downgrading to 1.00.25.05??)

Now, what's the most popular rom for the diamond? What do people suggest?

Thanks.

I'm using Dutty's ROM at the mement. But I will be using this one:

when its bugs get sorted out since its based on the Diamond 2 thingo or whatever so it'll have some new features.

I'm the same as you. Bought the Telstra Diamond and chucked in my Optus SIM. Pretty much just have to any ROM and you won't have to see the Telstra branding everywhere.

That ROM you linked looks rather spic. What issues are stopping you from flashing that ROM now?

To be honest I didn't find out about that ROM until just before I found your post, Mainly time has been stopping me and the hassle, and I read that there are some little bugs that it has when skimming through the thread but there was nothing that was bad enough to make me not upgrade. Just don't want to Flash to the ROM and then have a new revision come out two days later which is better.

Think I'll upgrade to this ROM right not though :)

Thanks for your post.

I decided to use the rom that you linked to, and found found it a 1000% improvement from the Tesltra one.

Only issue I have found so far is trouble connecting to wifi networks. Will have a bit more of a play soon.

Apart from that, it's good.

I 'downgraded' to the 1.00.25.05 radio and seemed to get alot better battery life from it.

Regarding ROMs, I agree almost anything is better than the stock Telstra one :)
