    Does anyone know if the rumor of enabling quadband support for the Diamond or Diamond pro is true? I need 1900 and 850 where I am at.

    I've been running DCD's 3.2.6 rom on my Mogul for months now with very few problems. In fact, my phone has been running so smoothly that I have decided to hold off on upgrading to the Touch Pro.


    PS PPCGeeks.com is another great rom community, even if they mainly focus on CDMA devices.

    I know I've mentioned the great work the guys over at xda have been doing a few times on this site so it's great to see you guys recognize them too. Kudos.

    @Selcouth14: Add 28 for the answer: Yeah, I figured that Giz would have known about (and been occasionally hyping) XDA off and on for several years by now.


    I think this is only like the second article I recall seeing that mentioned anything about xda...

    ppcgeeks and ppckitchen rule for cooking your own custom rom.


    WinMo 6.1 on a PPC6700 doesn't compare to the Touch Pro, obviously, but it's a hell of a lot better than what it'd be otherwise.

    I've been running Kavana's 6.1 ROM for my Dash, and it's been nearly flawless. Gave me the ability to read SDHC cards (original ROM couldn't), added more apps, and they even included a bit of overclocking, too.


    on a side note, when did T-Mobile ever carry the Diamond? How did I miss that?

    I've been getting roms from XDA for a while.


    Word of warning to those new to flashing roms: read up on instructions first to avoid bricking your phone or installing a radio you don't want. All the info is out there, if somewhat scattered.

    @ZetaCrossfire:

    I'm assuming it's the same for the other HTC winmo phones as my HTC Titan, but you have to install a bootloader program before you do this. If you have this bootloader program installed you can always put the phone into bootloader mode and install a different ROM. So it's relatively safe.

    @vkewalra: The boot loaded is not a program that you have to load, it is a built in system state, sorta like going into the BIOS on a PC...

    @bpapa9013: loaded=loader


    I've never directly used a Titan, but I have updated ROMs on MDA, WING, TILT, DIAMOND, and several cross carrier derivatives of those phones, and I have NEVER needed to install a boot loader. Just power down, hold the camera button and power up (while still holding the camera button) and you'll pop right into the three color boot loader.

    @Anonymoose: There are dozens of roms on XDA that are basically different stock ROMS with all of the carrier bloat-ware stripped out.


    Don't know if I have ever seen any CDMA ROMS on XDA tho...
