New UNLOCKABLE Sprint ROM?

[frubdoo]

CONFIRMED! Sprint Diamond ROM 1.09 does not allow unlocking using current techniques. It boots the phone from it's PC connection. I was not even able to downgrade to sprint's stock ROM.

I tried it on another computer, and I had success with another diamond.

read the unlocker thread. there are instructions on there for users who have difficulty unlocking.

I have a Sprint Touch Diamond and tried to unlock it using the "Diamond Unlocker". It fails every time with ERROR 262: UPDATE ERROR. I've run the unlock *both* in the WM 6.1 UI and in bootloader mode (hold down power + Volume down buttons as it boots).

Despite ROM updates failing, the bootloader tells me my phone is "Security Unlocked".

Yet, I can't install any of the ROMs out there! E.g., I want to use Juicy 2.1 Sprint but it fails with that same 262 error in either the WM UI or bootloader.

Can someone tell me how to get another ROM on my Sprint Touch Diamond???

BTW: I should mention I just checked to see if my Diamond is _really_ unlocked and it's not because the SPL-0.57.0000 is showing up in bootloader.

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.

this does not seem right.

August 4th 08 is still before they released the diamond to sprint. the rom was developed before the unlocker was out.

I've found that my diamond required a different driver for connection in bootloader mode, so unplug your diamond from puter, put it in bootloader mode then plug it in and see if windows loads a new driver.
