Need Bell HTC Touch Diamond Radio Rom - CDMA

kmacsouris · #1 (**permalink**) 07-25-2009, 06:26 PM

I have a new Bell HTC Diamond that I was having issues with straight out of the box. One of the things I attempted to resolve is the fact that the dang thing gets so hot when messaging or using email. Now I am talking one email an hour or 6 sms in an hour. So in perusing the threads here, I ended up flashing to the current radio rom for Telus. Now only the phone works for dialing and can't connect for anything else.

Does anyone have the Bell HTC Touch Diamond Radio rom or know where I can get one so I can flash the entire phone including the radio back to stock Bell?

The rom version I have from Bell is 1.13.666.7

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks so much! This will restore my radio rom back to bell?

I will be trying it once my battery is fully charged!

As far as I know, the stock radio for Bell is not available. You can get the rom, but not the radio. Personally, I would take the phone back to the store. I have a Bell Diamond too, so I think it might be a hardware problem. The Telus radio version number looks close to the Bell radio, so hopefully the tech guy won't notice the difference.

Well the rom suggested by boggsie restored my phone. However the radio is still with Telus. In my province we don't have a Bell store. Its Bell Aliant and in order for them to do anything with my phone I have to send it off for two weeks. No guarantees. Is there anything else I can try?

Is it hot all the time or only when emailing/texting? Are you using the Touchflo interface or the default Bell one? The only thing I can think of that might eat battery is if the GPS is on, or it's doing something funky in the background. Anything in Task Manager?

Or maybe it's a bad battery? Mine lasts about 3 days low usage if I turn it off overnight.

I don't see a post from PhreakMix, so it might be valuable to include the resolution as a final entry.

Phreakmix provided assistance on another thread so I did not include that information here. I was simply expressing my thanks as he has been following this post as well.

There is no Bell radio rom to go back to. I flashed to telus and that is the one I am stuck with until HTC decides to do another update for the Bell Diamond.

What I did was flashed back to bell stock rom and then put a custom rom, MightyMike, on my phone and it is very nice

So to wrap everything up faroreefer, you are like me, stuck until HTC updates again for Bell. I don't know how often they provide updates so I will wait for the next one.

Hope this helps.
