Warrning: After flashing a radio it will preform a RTN, this is a hard reset that the radio initiates. BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA BEFORE FLASHING A RADIO ROM. I take no responsibility for lost or corrupted data.

Remember: I am not responsible for bricked devices. Your phone, your risk, your problem if something goes wrong.

Thanks to No2Chem for lending me a hand in the early days!

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I'm using the juicy Rom . But still experience battery issues . Is there a new fix for that or settings to reserve the rapid drainage. I initially thought iot could be the radio. Sorry a bit off topic

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

:scratch: way off topic. no one can prove that the sprint radio is the battery issue. because no telus user has tried both or vice versa.

i my self will not flash this radio until i can get my hands on the telus radio so i can go back if needed.

this radio WILL work on a telus device. remember though you might have to flash PRL via EPST as well after the fact. I contacted a telus user who corrupted his/her radio and asked them if they have no returned the phone to give this a shot it will be betterthen a brick diamond.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I just want to remind people if flashing ur radio goes downhill, you brick your phone. Just an FYI

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

yup, thats why i stated in OP, its your phone, your risk and your problem.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

how does it brick a phone as opposed to flashing a ROM? I don't need details but can't you just revert?

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

say for some reason what so ever the flash proses fails part way. the diamond will not boot.

and yes there are advanced ways for recovering from a corrupt radio.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

ooooohhhh radio's to play with, who wants to brick their diamond first :D

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I want the Telus Radio. Can i have that cake Please

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

It's much more difficult to fix a radio than it is a ROM flash. There's also the chance you've just screwed it up to much as well. Not from that radio most likely, but still.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

i know thats why i called it advanced ways lol

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

so i im on the sprint rom you hosers.... ill let you know if its any better

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

You got balls.

Btw, do you care to share how you extracted this radio, or did you somehow get ahold of a full sprint ship rom?

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I believe No2chem supplied the Sprint ship rom.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I was asking a duel question. I had used the 60614 PRL as tweaked the EVRC settings .

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

well ive been on the sprint radio for a few days now, i can confidently say what it is and isnt.

it is:
better for signal
better for EVDO speeds/connection
worse on battery with a 15-25mah larger draw on idol then the telus radio.

the battery drain isnt as bad as i thought it would be. im still getting 1.5-2 days on the device with light usage. but it does have a slightly larger draw then the telus radio like i said.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

forgot to mention. sprints stalk tower polling interval is set to 1. telus is set to 2. at least it is when i flash this radio.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

What about when the data connection is active? Mine jumps up to 500-550mah when data is active. Im at 75mah when idol.
P.S. Im on Sprint

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

i havnt had time to do an in depth on the data side of current draw. however on the telus rom i got the same draw your reporting on EV connection.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

im getting 57 ma on idle. I have newer drivers though too. Ill send to juicy

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

holdin out on us eh bro, how you like the radio?


i think Juicy may have the drivers as im on 2.6 rom to test and i am getting lower idol now :) same as you dude.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

if I flash to the Sprint radio how can I flash back to the telus radio where can I get it?

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

you cannot right now. we dont have a telus radio

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

I ONLY get 57mah if I have the light sensor turned off, and the backlight set to the lowest setting.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

sprint or telus?

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Sprint.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

what do you idol at?

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Will this stock rom relock the phone?

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

No this is just a radio rom, no SPL or OS.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

no, you have to run the relocker to lock your phone, but when you flash the stock rom it will act the same as stock except you have the ability to flash custom roms.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

So Juggalo you are on the Sprint Radio and now you have to wait to get the Telus radio to go back, but the question is will you go back?! is the signal and evdo better on the Sprint radio?

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

i think i will go back, it does seem to be a bit worse on battery if u use evdo allot.

so i may bounce back and forth do some more testing... see what is the best over all.

but right now im on sprint rom and it seems to be usable. dont drop calls like telus radio

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

Hummm I am tempted to flash lol

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

UPDATE: i did some DATA tests last night, and its sad to say but the sprint radio SUCKS BIG DONKEY BALLS!

i set up a ping test that ping'd open dns servers continuously. after 30 min of pinging mere bytes of data to the dns the device was so hot it could have basically melted AND it drained my battery from 80% to 30%. that's OUTRAGEOUS! the telus radio would never have done this. Its sad to say but you sprint guys are not crazy :D the radio does suck the big ol' kawk. so i hope sprint releases a better radio for you guys. and i hope i can find a telus radio for u guys to try and for me to flash back to.

long story short, cliff's notes sprint radio sucks a$$ on EVDO.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

hey juggalo u never got back 2 me but does flashing a radio via rtask make any diffrence as opposed to flashing a rom via RUU?

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

no i never flashed it via rtask to much work

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

sad to hear, can't wait for a radio update...

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

im working on getting a telus radio for you guys too, bear with me its proving to be difficult.

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

ok so i flashed it to try it out myself, yes the battery drain is bad but the signal and data speed is much MUCH better! i can now stream my audio files because they wont stop to buffer!

So Signal and Data speed is better with the Sprint Radio but the battery drain is bad!

But i will keep this radio till telus puts out an update!
Witch i think they are with the HTC Pro that is why it has been put on hold!

Re: Official CDMA Diamond Radio Rom Thread
 

lol yah your findings match mine.
