I have a question on this thread:http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=64880 the guy asks

Any custom roms available for this yet? I am thinking that someone will have to figure out how to unlock it first, but come on, it's an HTC, shouldn't be hard right?

If there are no other verizon touch diamond threads here, then we can use this as a stomping ground if you like.

Thanks for any input!

and points him this direction yet the very first post on this thread says:

And verizon is not listed... so now I ask... anyone tried unlocking the verizon diamond? or is there a different unlocker out there? I know unlockers are carrier specific so that's why I ask. I have no experience with Diamonds since I have a Sprint Touch Pro with Mighty and I'm just doing research for my friend...

Thanks for everything

Nope, that's ok. Running the Unlocker will work fine.

You have to unlock to flash anything that is not a _ship.exe file.

I have a question I have not found an answer for. If I unlock my Telus CDMA HTC Touch Diamond will it still continue to work with Telus? Will anything need to be re-programmed in to make a phone call after unlock??? Has anyone had any problems with this??? Please help as I am anxious to have GPS turned on (Pisses me off Telus disables this)

Thanks

Yes. it will work with Telus. You are just unlocking the device to be able to flash new custom roms and radios if you so choose. you should check and see which custom roms are compatible with telus, meaning if the chef indicates the rom is generic, your good or if they list the carriers the rom is compatible with. good luck!

What error message are you seeing. error 262 or what number? Actually on page 4 of this thread, post 35 there is a complete list of errors and what they mean which should help with figuring out the problem. Hope this helps.
