Alright folks, Touch Diamond 2 SIM Unlocker (also for AT&T Pure) sorted:
1) contributing forum members & Elite Team donators... Request a free unlock with your IMEI & email. - if you have an account that has a) existed for a good few months and b) you actually contribute to the site (technical wizardy, or general helpfulness - CONSISTENT AND REGULAR POSTING), then just drop me a message and it's yours, if you don't meet both a) and b) then don't bother - having an account that you rarely posted from is NOT in the least bit interesting.
2) everyone else (new accounts/unregistered/sod all posts, this means you): [size=+2]Get SIM unlocked Here[/size]
for those who don't know:
Security Unlock lets you flash radios from other devices... technically speaking you can flash any radio, the Diamond, Raphael, Blackstone and Kovsky radios are NOT compatible, they will kill your device and cause biblical plagues - Rhodium will work fine though.
CID unlock is largely redundant, however, it's quite useful if you like to keep your device on a stock SPL as it means you can flash any official ROM regardless of which brand it's intended for without changing SPL.

Hi,
Does this mean that if I unlocked using the CID unlocker tool, I would be able to flash from a T-Mobile ROM to the stock HTC one?
I am having problems validating hardspl due to internet connection problems so this may be an alternate solution.
Sorry if this is a silly question.

the unlocker comes with Hard-SPL bundled into it, but it'll only Hard-SPL a device that's paid for.

Correct, the unlock will remain. The Radio this program flashes is a temporary one for unlocking purposes only, so you change radio at the end of it .

They're different. This is low level stuff we're hacking here... . Using the wrong SPL with either: 1. not work, or 2. brick the device (go find the guy who put a TP 1 CDMA SPL on his GSM TP2).
Dave
Oh.. Ok. Right answer!
btw. Flashing CDMA SPL in GSM thing surely will brick, what a stupid action!

Dont flash it with this rom. You will be stuck with SPL 1.09.
This rom is recommended by softbank for installation because of some changes made in their network after APRIL 1st 2007.
So right now people here are looking into this matter...i will most likely install
it in a matter of weeks.

Do you know where I can find it out?
If so, would you please tell me.
Thank you and Happy new year!
W.E.
Stupid question
Just a question about this ROM and superCID.
I have unlocked and superCIDed my device.
Does that mean the device stays superCIDed, and I can install this ROM, and if I don't like it, revert to another? (in my case the French Qtek one).
What advantages does this ROM hold over the DoCoMo one?
Thanks in advance.

I've tried many times flashing this rom but when I get to the bootloader screen which shows:
HERM200
IPL-1.03
HERM200
SPL-1.40.Olipro
The ROM program in PC stop for a long time and then shows the error msg:
Cannot connect to your PDA Phone, check your USB connection... Then when I soft reset the phone, the previous ROM still works.
But the USB connection is OK and I've flashed many other roms successfully.
Could anyone help me because I badly need to flash the original X01HT ROM.
P/S: My phone is CID, not Super CID. I use the SSPL to have the ability of flashing rom into it.
Extract the NBH from this rom and use CustomRUU, force SSPL if you want to overwrite the bootloader too, otherwise flash it directly with HardSPL.
Thank you for your advice. I have flashed many roms into my X01HT and now just want to make it original so that I can claim warranty at Softbank. Do you think it's OK?
By the way I don't know how to extract the NBH file from this ROM. The ROM is only a EXE file. Could you please tell me more detail.
Thank you
@LongmanVN: use winrar to extract the contents from the exe.
Thank you, it works now!
extract the NBH?
And then??? If I duoble click NBH my pc does not recognize it as a program.
I unzipped everything in a folder and now???
What is the next step?
Someone can help?
Hiya
Got my Athena 3 weeks now and it gives 2 problems only (for now)
1/. It is locked to Tmobile but worse--I dont have a tmobile contract, and want to avoid getting one.
2/. The ROM version loaded on it is an old one (see below).
Net result---cant use with my orange or O2 sims and missing some good stuff not in the older rom. Do we need a super Cid for Athena to unlock it?
I think whoever brings the unlock and new rom to us will be knighted!!
Arise Sir Athena. Bring the rom and unlock to us.

The Dopod WWE rom is available in some places already I think what is left is the cid unlock. WRT SIM unlock, if you paid full price for the device, Teja has already shown the way. Search this Athena section, and not difficult to find.

After that, you do this:
Ok..this is what I did, I installed this version of WM6 (for you notice; doing this is on your own risk.)
Then I upgraded my Radio to 1.41.00.10 (if you wanna know what that is, go Wiki)
Here you can find some great programs.

True Thq..I'd forget to note that
Well before posting I have been reading the Wiki and looking on this site. Just wanna make sure that I have it correct.
Im planning to use a Cingular 8525 on TMobile.
So first I would have to use the v3a unlocker.
Then it would be wise to make sure I have the latest and greatest radio flash for reception.
Then I can pretty much throw any ROM from any provider or source on the device that I want.
If I am missing something please let me know, Im still reading and learning.
Thanks.
Welcome aboard Vasichko. Yeah, that's about the gist of it.
I'd recommend the 1.48 radio. But the quality can depend on your geographic location, so you may need to try a few different radio builds to see what works best for you.
But, all in all, you have the basics down. Just follow all the instructions with each step you take, and you'll do great.

Im in Dallas, TX, usually dont have any issues with reception with TMobile.
Now if I do the HardSPL, should I do that first before attempting to unlock the SIM and CID?
Or, will the HardSPL unlock the SIM and CID for me?

Essentially, yes, it is a modifiied bootloader. There are several versions (I have 3 myself that I keep on DVD). Like was said earlier, use the MR VANX guide.
I had the 8525 and switched to both the Softbank x01HT version and the Nokia N95.
Any benefit of having the Softbank over the 8525 aside from the camera on the front?

so what your saying is that hard SPL does not exist for the athena, and that I would need to do it manually (no thanks) I guess I will take my chances with t-mobile !
if i remember correctly the unlock will load a sspl before the hardspl. find at what point its loaded and at that point flash a nbh with the stock nbh and u'll be able to send the device in for warrenty.

please please elaborate, do you mean the same olipro unlocker that I used to unlock it, so if I understand you your saying I should halt the unlock process at some point, and then switch the nbh for a standard one (ie the original tmobile wm 5 ) which will flash on the SPL for me, this method (if im right is similar to the hard spl method)

i made the same expirience like hellejoep, i twice returned my (unlocked) ameo and the service seems not to care about it, i think there first job is to 'delete' everything and reset to factory settings before the try to fix any isue's. but anyhow it was good to know how to downgrade or at least let the bootscreen appear as the original one.
