I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here and say it's NOT unlocked anymore.

So, I took a shot and ran the unlocker, and I get a com error. The Update utility puts the phone into bootloader, but wont go p***** 0%. It keeps timing out and going through the recovery steps....

any suggestions thus far?

Yes, I do have .net framework installed too...

This happened to me after I flashed newest Sprint Rom. Run CMonex's relocker from RUU while phone is on (not bootloader mode). It will run its own SSPL and relock the phone.

If you check the bootloader screen it should said SPL 0.57 without the Cmonex label after it. You are now locked.

SmknJoe your device is (re)locked, like bparvin said, no cmonex = locked
and like tobey said 'security unlocked' means nothing

[Nastradamus]

you dont have the stock verizon rom posted

[tobeychris]

It's not the same device.

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

I upgraded to the sprint maintenance Rom, my spl says its .64 should I try and run the relocker to get the spl to say .57 before i try to unlock it? I just want to be sure I'm not going to brick my phone before i try anything.

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

4. New Sprint Stock ROM, OS extraction of the above shipped ROM (only OS, no Radio, SPL or Splash Screens).

I have also deleted the old versions as they were not actually stock, but compiled ROMs by us (some of the more experienced), and did not, in fact, have completely stock components.

These file should be ready in the morning, if they're not, please don't complain, they'll be ready when they're in the first post.

Do we have to unlock just to install the sprint OS, and not the radio. I have the new 1.11 sprint radio from the new htc rom. But the os stinks with bugs. so I need the new radio, but the old os.

[tobeychris]

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
