I just unlocked mines that had a 1.09 rom. what are you talking about?

Just because you can't seem to unlock it, doesn't mean that it is not possible.

Try giving more information like:
What version of windows?
32 or 64 bit?
When's the last time you ran Windows Update?
Did you try putting it in bootloader while connected to the computer and give it time to install any drivers?

Looks like the Diamond never gets unlocked because of the 262 error I mentioned earlier... so the question goes back to: how do I unlock my Sprint Touch Diamond? I've tried everything folks have said on this forum. Running it in bootloader doesn't work for me.

You have to disable advanced networking

This might sound silly, but make sure to connect in "ActiveSync" and not USB Drive mode.

Is there an official update to 1.09 Sprint ROM, anyone got a link?

EDIT: NVM, my unit shows 1.06 at boot, but under device info it's 1.09.651.5

You can try starting bootloader manually..

I'm not sure if you can unlock FROM bootloader though. So although they can put it in bootloader, and allow the drivers to install if neccessary, it may be required to go back to an activesync connection because of the SSPL, not sure though.

i believe your correct. in order to flash the hard spl, SSPL has to initiate the proses. this can be done via active sync or manually running SSPL on your device.
