Then you should be able to flash to custom rom.

It always says unlocked, regardless if you have applied the hardspl or not. If you see cmonex on the bootloader screen, it's unlocked.

I've also tried to relock and then unlock but during the relock process I get the same error

I'm now downloading the HTC Touch Diamond™ (Sprint) Maintenance Release – Version 2.00.651.7 | 04.03.2009 on the HTC site I hope that's the Rom you're referring to cause I don't see anything else on their site.

UPDATE:

When I do a power + vol down + reset button the screen now says

Security Unlocked
DIAM500
SPL-0.64.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) vB
PSOC-DIAM Stage_evt v20

The original screen I posted was what shows when I try to do an unlock or upgrade a rom.

still no luck after trying all the suggestions.

When you flashed your carrier's rom does it boot and function normally?
If so, start over with the unlocking procedure.

Ok here's what I've done over and over.

First I attempt to unlock then but I get an error, it gives me the above error. and remained in the 3 color screen, all I had to do was sof reset then phone back to normal.

So tried to relock and also error and stuck at tri color screen soft reset again and back to normal.

saw that my tri color screen says security unlock so I tried to flash with a kitchen rom that I was previously using, now I get pass the tri color screen but the progress bar stuck @ 0% then I get an error on the PC. Again soft reset and the phone is back to operating normal.

I also perform a hard reset prior to each flashing, locking and unlocking with the same result.

So I flashed with the stock sprint rom everything went through and the phone took the flashing then tried again from step 1 as described above with no luck either.

So I downloaded the rom from the HTC site which appears to be the exact same rom as the one in the unlocking/relocking thread "sprint shipped" rom but I did the reflash anyways and tried again with no luck.

So to summarize, when I try to unlock or relock the screen get stuck @ the tri color screen then error. When I try to flash with a kitchened rom I get stuck @ 0%

If the unlocker is still not working, try a different cable or PC. Even if it worked 2 weeks ago, that doesn't seem something in that combination is not causing problems now.
