sorry for your trouble. here is a long long very long shot: if there is a removable flash rom memory in the diamond, you would take that chip out and replace it with another flash memory from a working diamond, boot into bootloader, now put back the bad flash rom and flash a gsm bootloader into that chip.

i used to do this with motherboard when i flashed the wrong rom into the motherboard, which result in no video/post. i would buy another same motherboard and use the good bios rom on that one to boot up, once i boot up into dos, i would switch out the rom and re-flash with the right bios.

the first day that got my diamond, i went to xda and flashed several of the gsm rom over there and even used a gsm to unlock, for some lucky reasons, i never got the flash to work and soon learn that i was not suppose to do that.

its clear over here at ppcgeeks that there's a seperate section for gsm and cdma upgrade. over xda, its harder to tell if which rom is for cdma or gsm since there are no seperation between the two in the forum.
