These simple instructions will also work for Alltel, Cellular South, Bell, MTS, and Telus CDMA Touch Diamond Devices.

How To Do It:
1. Make sure you have either ActiveSync (XP) or MWMDC (Vista) installed on your computer.
(How to Download and Install ActiveSync | How to Download and Install MWMDC)
2. Make sure you have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed on your machine.
(Download .NET Framework 3.5 | You can check if you already have the .NET Framework 3.5 by going to My Computer > Uninstall or change a program. Then look for “Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5″ in the programs list.)
3. Plug in your Touch Diamond and verify that it is connected via ActiveSync. If an ActiveSync graphic dialogue box pops-up, simply ignore it.
4. Download the Diamond Unlocker application.
5. Unzip Diamond_Unlocker.Rar (How Do I Unzip a folder?)
6. After unzipping the folder, find Diamond_Unlocker.exe and run this file by double-clicking it. (Make sure your device is plugged in to the computer and you have an ActiveSync connection with it.)
7. Follow the instructions that the Unlocker application provides from this point on.
8. Your screen will change color.
9. The device will restart.
10. Your device is unlocked!
Verify the device is unlocked:
You can verify that your device has been successfully unlocked by following these 5 steps:
1. Turn the device off
2. Hold down the Power Button & Volume-Down button at the same time.
3. If you have unlocked the device successfully it will say “SECURITY UNLOCKED”.
4. Congrats!
5. To get off of this screen, soft-reset your device by inserting the stylus tip into the reset hole under the hard cover of your diamond.
For Used Devices:
1. Hard Reset your diamond before performing the unlock operation. (How Do I Hard Reset My Sprint Diamond?)
2. See steps 1-10 above.

hi, i have a palm treo pro 850 cdma sprint locked… how can i unlock it to use it in india reliance network?
Vishal,
I’m actually not sure. I just did a little research and haven’t seen anyone that has released an unlocker for the CDMA Treo Pro 850. Maybe someone else here knows.

I just bought a used Touch Diamond from a guy. Can someone please explain to me what “unlocking” a phone does? Any information is appreciated. Thanks
Hey Summer,
Unlocking the phone allows you to put customized ROM’s (basically customized operating systems) on your Diamond.
The customized ROM’s are usually a TON faster than the stock Sprint ROM, and they usually make the battery last longer because they person that “cooked” it had efficiency in mind.
You can check if your phone is already unlocked by doing the following: 13. Entering the Bootloader (Power+VolumeDown and hold down Reset) – taken from this post on ppcgeeks.com: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062&highlight=check+diamond+unlocked
Hope that helped at all.
You can find custom ROM’s to flash to, as well as more in-depth information about the whole process here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=67
