Default Need help flashing Bootloader/Radio/ROM

I've recently gotten a Touch Diamond from Verizon and I'm looking to flash it. I have experience from flashing and cooking for my original Touch, but I've found this Diamond to be much more stubborn/fickle.

I'm interested in flashing a new Bootloader, Radio, and ROM on to the phone because the default install is disappointing (resource usage). I've all over this site, google, and modmydiamond.info and haven't been able to resolve my issue, so I'm looking for additional help by posting.

When trying to load a bootloader (Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex SIGNED, and the Jockyw2001 Hard-SPLs), my phone will prompt me, saying something is trying to run on my phone, I tell it to allow it, and the spinning color wheel comes up then freezes after a short amount of time. The installer on my computer will eventually time out. I restart the phone and it's good to go. I guess I'd like to start there, I think if I can get a Hard-SPL loaded I should be able to do the rest without much issue. Current bootloader information reads:

Security Unlocked

DIAM400
SPL-0.58.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v81
PSOC-Diam STAGE_EVT_v20

Serial





Any help is appreciated, thank you.

I've done some more digging and trying and, I've obviously come across this thread in this forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544872. When trying to lock or unlock my phone using the links provided in that thread I get "Invalid Model ID".

Edit: Just realize it's not intended to work on Verizon phones... Any help is appreciated.

Did you try the HARD RESET and after the HARD RESET not letting phone load, instead pressing POWER/DOWN to go into bootloader?

Uhm... Is it Sprint? or Verizon?

If it's Sprint, let it reboot and install .NET CF 3.5 before launching Diamond Unlocker.exe

If it's Verizon, try using the SSPL-manual.exe <-- it's posted everywhere.


Good luck!

Default That doesn't work

sspl manual just gets you to the point where you realize that the hardspl doesn't work on verizon diamonds... wrong model #. us VZ users could really use a new cellphone company that doesn't cut the specs of a great phone down to that of a Motorola VU204... stupid big red...
