Help with verizon diamond upgrade

bobv · #1 (**permalink**) 04-23-2010, 11:00 PM

I just got a assurion replacement Verizon diamond for my old htc touch. The diamond is so slow and a pain in the a$$. I need to put a new rom on this thing before I end up throwing this one too. Everywhere I see any info about unlocking or flashing, it seems that it says there is no unlocker for this device. Could someone tell me for sure if this is true. And also recommend a rom and tell me the steps needed to change to a new rom. Thanks in advance.

Sorry ... there is no unlocker for the Verizon Diamond. Been asked and answered many times.

Well this sucks. Thank you for the quick response. Greatly appreciated. I guess this is a pretty useless phone then

It's has no SD card slot, you took that. Why you just didn't go to a different store? Don't let them play you
like that!

It has a sd slot, but i can't go to another store because asurion sent it to me as a replacement for a htc touch that broke.

Call them & act like a unhappy customer. It's not easy with verizon people. Unless you are going to take it like that. I helped someone like that before verizon don't move easy with their small call centers.

I can't get the gps working. I can't unlock it. I can't flash it. I can't upgrade anything. I think it's time to test it's durability. What's the point of this phone.

Locky, can you do anything to your phone?

Thanks for the info on new phones. I had an alltel touch which, I believe, is the equivalent to the verizon vogue. But this is what they replaced with a diamond. What makes it unlockable? Is this a verizon security feature and do all there phones have this problem? I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars to find out I can't do anything with it.

i have the verizon diamond too. it's pointless doing anything to it. once u start messing around, it becomes harder to fix it.

im getting ready to lose mine into the ocean and call asurion. HOPEFULLY they'll give me the touch pro instead of another diamond.

When I talked to asurion about my phone 2 weeks ago, they said they had plenty of diamonds in stock. You might want to try and probe them to see if this is true. It would suck to have to pay $95 to replace the piece of junk with the same piece of junk when there was nothing wrong with the first one.
