i could be totally wrong here but maybe its your sim card at fault, maybe it isnt data activated. i tried my xda with my old - working - t-mobile payg card and altho' the xda worked i could neither make nor receive calls. i think it has something to do with the services offered by providers.

Did think that m80, will they "data activated" if i call Orange??
Thanks
Does the sim work in another phone, has the sim ever worked in the xda, have you tried a different sim in the xda, I dont know where you got the phone but it may be that it is blocked to all networks, did you ever see the xda working before the upgrade to developers rom 1.2
Yes the sim works in another phone.
No the sim has never worked in the XDA.
No i didnt see the XDA working b4 i upgraded.
Thanks m80, any ideas??

there's only one way to find out
A little update
I have contacted Orange and they have enable GPRS is there anything else they need to enable, as it is still not working!!!!!!
I have upgraded the Radio Stack to 4.21.00 still no joy!
Any ideas, it searches for a netwrok then says No Signal
Thanks again in advance

sim/xda problems
sometimes the switch on process can take a while. have you tried the card in another phone? do you have a non-payg sim card that you could test in the phone?
do you know someone with a card?
have you unlocked the phone?
i really don't know what to suggest but if you've tried every combination of cards and activation then its either the software or the phone.
mug someone with an xda and use there sim card.

Orange with No Signal
I have a Orange contract sim and it does'nt have a signal either but it worked until i updated the the radio stack to 4.21 but a downgrade is not possible, i have tried t-mobile and still the same problem. if anyone knows how to downgrade it to radio stack 4.01 which is 1 that i know that works. Lets hope XDA-Developers and suss out how to copy the GSM In the Wallaby Bootloader. if anyone can solve this problem you should be king.....
use the band switching tool lol
its most probally on 900mhz (voda,3,bt) instead of 1800 (orange, virgin, 121)
1900 is the american signal also if you have upgraded your phone to pc2003 then you cant get it to work on orange then lol coz it only allows you to do 900 or 1900 :roll:
Thanks alot for all of your help guys
I have tried an O2 payas u go Sim and it works, very strange!!
But Yes it is defo unlocked!!
Will keep trying the Orange Sim and find out why it wont work!!
What are the setting for GPRS for O2?? Please
Thanks again all

Hello,
I bought my O2 XDA in Germany and wanted to unlock the SIM for using my D2 Vodafone card. At first my Radio Stack was 4.08 so the XDA Manipulator didn't work..... I updatet the Radio Stack version to 4.16 but still it doesn't work. In XDA Manipulator I did everything except changing the IMEI...
I don't know what I could do...
Can somebody help me??
THANKS A LOT
Adler
The Manipulator-Software do also work with Radio Version 4.08.
Did you get any Error-Messages?
Regards
Stefan
It said the Radio was turned off and I should turn it on and try it again, although I unlocked the SIM and inserted the D2 Vodafone one....
Did I do anything wrong???
Thanks

Hi great forum !!!
But and theres always a but im having trouble with my xda.
It was locked to o2 so as you guys recomended i updated the rom to the latest version as well as the radio update (all from the UK o2 web site)
Ran you unlocking program as mentioned and all was as promised its now unlocked.
I put my Uk T mobile sim into it and it cant pick up the network.
Only networks avalible are o2 and vodafone.
Friend put his vodafone sim in and it works fine!!!
I have looked on the forum and theres a mention about the network speed but when i go to programs and cant find the aplication to change this.
Could the problem be that i have the latest o2 radio stack?
I have looked everywhere for a t mobile on but to no avail.
Any help is much loved.
Mark
Confirming you can't even make a phone call with your SIM card?
Yeah sorry did i miss the point lol
The only two uk networks avalible to choose from are o2 and vodafone.
No T mobile No Orange No otheres at all.
When i put my sim card in (t mobile) theres no signal and cant make a call.
Could it be the radio stack?
Theres nothing on my phone to change the frequance.!
rom version 3.17.03 eng
radio version 4.21.00 From o2.
Cheerz
Both O2 and Vodafone are on the 900 mhz band, try looking at the gsm band chosen under bootloader, you need 900/1800.
And is there a easy way to change this?
Many thanks
Mark
Go the boot loader screen (Power button + soft reset) ... wait till "GSM OK" appears and then press the calendar button to get the menu.
Good luck
Thats it
Your a genius
Thanks soooo much.
Mark
Anyone can help me?
Because i'm very depresed now. I've upgrade my radio stack to version 4.21, then my Xda won't works with my satelindo Indonesia GSM Card.
Someone can help me? I'm very happy if there any want to email me the steps how to downgrade the radio stack. i will appreciate it.
sorry for my bad english.
What frequency does your provider use? I have 4.21 it works fine on 900/1800. I know of no method for downgrading radio stack.
My country using 900/1800 frequent.
Some GSM operator could work on my Xda. But the Satelindo GSM Card couldn't!
Really? There isn''t any way to downgrade the radio stack?
O my goodd....!!!!!
Should i change my mobile number?????
i would do a seach in the forum maybe somebody have a way of doing it
Should i change my mobile number

what ever would that help ? that is unless you changed phone company to a working one at the same time
Niki, so you are saying the satelindo sim has never worked with the xda? If that is correct you havent lost anything, and risking a radio downgrade will not help anyway even if it could be done. If you want to use your xda then you will need a sim that works on 900/1800, do you know the frequency that Satelindo uses?
Satelindo GSM is the operator in my country which use 900/1800 freq.
But when i using Telkomsel GSM, it's work's! Why? They are using same freq! (900/1800)?
If you take a look in www.myxda.com, there are one announcement that Satelindo GSM 64 Kb doesn't compatible with the new ROM. But i'm using 32 Kb GSM Card and it's still happening!
looks more like an issue with odd sim cards then a radiostack issue
Hello community!
I just got my used MDA from ebay which had a Sim Lock!
I unlocked it using Lokiwiz3a and the card is accepted!
When I turn on the phone it just keeps searching for network service and won't find any even after hours!
I've tried it with a T-Mobile SIM of my brothers and it worked but my Bluetello SIM doesn't!
I don't have any other SIM card or Phone to try if it is a problem with the SIM, so I ask you, if you know this problem or if somebody ever had this kind of Problem?
My Device:
ROM Version: 2.26.10.2 WWE
Radio: 02.25.11
I think it is a G3, because it shows on startup
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
Bluetello SIM ? What's that?
Whose your service with? Try your sim card on your brothers phone and see if it works.

Its a SIMcard from the callcompany i got me in Germany!
It's less expensive than signing up for a plan here, since I am only here for a year!
It already worked on my RAZR(which I bricked )

T-Mobile Phone!!! SIM LOCK!!!! I don't know a way to remove a simlock on a samsung x495!
Update:
I have tried it in my brothers phone(unlocked it ) it also doesn't find service, so I guess my Provider deactivated my card!
I actually called them yesterday to reactivate, but I think that didn't happen yet!
Hi all,
I've unlocked my phone successfully using an unlocker from unlockitnow.com (I know yall can start hating now for me paying but I tried POFs version a hundred times and it wouldnt work...)
I'm using the Softbank X01HT in USA, the Japanese SIM card I use connects to T-Mobile GSM network. Now that I've run the unlocker, I put in Softbank SIM it still connects fine. Great. But when I use a T-Mobile SIM, it never connects and when you try to access the settings for the phone it says Phone not ready try back in 15 seconds (which never ever works).
I am using the Black-Shadow-IV ROM from jasjamming over at win4mobile,
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.04 (which the unlocker put on there it appears, was using 1.40.Olipro)
Radio Version 1.14, the sticky one
I don't see how it connects to a T-Mobile GSM network with a Softbank SIM and not with a T-Mobile SIM but thats whats going on here. Is it fake-unlocked??
Any help here is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
desperate
pof, anyone, i need help.
How can I unlock this post Dec Softbank X01HT step by step. There are over 20 posts to this and its not easy to follow. Plus the pof unlocker claims to work with Radio 1.14 and it hasn't been doing the trick.
thanks in advance,
Nick
