HTC Diamond guess bricked

Hello everyone, hope you can help me

Today, I was trying to flash (for the first time unfortunately) HTC Touch Diamond. After spending countless hours roaming The Webs forums, I found out that there are two possible versions of the phone (CDMA and GSM), and since I had no success with the GSM i decided to try CDMA from your site. So i downloaded it, installed, executed. Got WRONG ID (or something like that) error, and now my phone is bricked (i can't power it up, all sorts of resets do nothing) Is there any way to roll back the changes or is it lost?

first is your phone unlocked? do you even know if your cdma or gsm? if no to either i think you need more reading.

Hold the volume down and the power button that should bring up the tri color screen then download the correct flash to the phone.

Vodaphone is GSM. Can you get into bootloader? (Back key, D-Pad center, voldown, and power hold for 5 seconds until a rainbow comes up) If you can then you should be good. Just flash your GSM ROM from XDA.

intxcotton, you are bricked. There are two ways to brick your phone. 1) Flash with wrong unlocker for your phone (ie using CDMA for GSM device or vice versa) and 2) flash a wrong radio to your device.
