Help, i have just got an XDA (first one) and downloaded the new rom and installed it in the hope that i coild use my orange sim. But all i keep getting are "the wireless radio is turned off. turn on the wireless radio and try again. Only emergency numbers can be made without a pin". the sim card is a pay as u go and is working fine in my nokia. I have tried another orange sim and it comes up with the same thing and i have set a pin up. ANY help would be gratefully received.

Tap & Hold the radio icon on the menu bar and turn the radio on,
(if that fails you might have to turn it on from the boot loader by holding the power button while doing a soft reset, after you're in boot loader mode the press Calender button)
then use the phone keypad to inter the PIN code then tap enter.
If that works then goto to Tools, Options, and uncheck Require PIN when phone used.
BTW did you have to inter a password to use your Nokia?

It looks to me like the sim isnt being inserted correctly, make sure that the rubber cover over the sim insertion socket is firmly in place and that you are putting the sim in the correct way.
I have managed to get the same error, you must make sure when inserting sim, that the sim is pushed in far enough to engage the clip, then your phone will work.
I have pushed the sim in all the way so the clip engages and you can only put it in one way for the clip to engage.
I have also gone in to the boot loader and pressed the calendar button and a list of things show such as UTILITIES, GSM ON, debug/call, turn on, turn off, reset, 900, 1900, 900/1800, recal and normal.
i have also put an o2 sim in and it all works A1. also if i tap the radio icon on the menu bar it turns the phone on but still says "the wireless radio is turned off. turn on the wireless radio and try again. Only emergency numbers can be made without a pin". Some more help will be much apreciated. Thanks

Sounds good, all we need to do is to make sure you're running the right radio stack!
So tell us where you're located and what radio stack version is currently running on your device. Going to Start, Settings, System, Device Information.

I am in the uk and details are,
ROM version - 3.17.03 ENG
ROM date - 05/15/03
Radio version - 4.01

Hope this helps. Thanks

How did you unlock the xda? Did you use the developers rom, serial cable or xdaunlock.exe?
I used the developers rom. Thanks

O.K. I am new to this and have read many threads, and I still need help!!! I have a Wallaby ROM version A.30.09, Radio Version A.33.02. I bought this off of E-Bay and it is supposed to be Unlocked. Of course the original SIM card was from AT&T. I am trying to use my Rogers AT&T card and I keep on getting the message "Please input unlock code SID:"
I first used the XDAunlock program on my first Rogers Sim card and after many attempts using it, I was able to get the SIM card to work and I could make calls and receive them. The second day that it was working, I had to do a soft reset and then it asked for the unlock code again. Anyway I supposedly cooked that SIM card and Rogers supplied me with another. Now I cannot use the phone again.
I have downloaded the XDA special edition ROM, but I cannot get this program to work, it will run and when my Wallaby is Sync'd using the cradle, the program keeps telling me that the power is not supplied to it.
I recently bought a serial cable for this thing and I have run the XDA manipulator program and it says that it does not have a SID lock.
I have tried to find just the Special Edition ROM to add onto my SD card, but I cannot find just that program.
Any advice would be grateful !!!
If the phone was unlocked to rogers when you used it previously then it will still be unlocked. Is it definitely now asking for sid code and not the sim security code for your rogers sim?
It is definitely asking for a SID unlock code. Everytime I try to turn flightmode off it asks me for the code.
did you make sure that ur xda is fully charged 100%? that might be why it says its low on power
Power seems to be another one of my problems...I check the status of the battery while it is plugged into the cradle and it says:
Battery power remaining: Unknown
When I take it off the cradle and do a soft reset, then it tells me that the power is 100%.
The battery light never comes on though. And if it does then the phone works. I wonder if this is a battery problem !!!
Found that my battery was not the problem, it was the charger going from the wall to the cradle. It was charging the battery, but not enough. the one that was supplied for my Siemens SX56 docking station was a Nokia charger only putting out 3.5v. I found another charger I had laying around that put out 4.5v. As soon as I hooked it up, my battery light instantly came on. So I ran the XDA special edition software, and it worked great. I can now use my phone.
AWESOME PROGRAM !!!!!
I LOVE IT!!!
When I dial, it reads "dialling" for 3 seconds, then"call ended"
I just bought a used MDA compact locked to Tmobile (without a SIM)
So I upgraded the ROM etc from Tmobile site, and used the unlock tool form this site
I tried an O2 and Vodafone SIM, but no joy
Should I try removing the SIM, use the unlock tool, then hard reset again?
Or is it something simpler?
Could the phone be blocked?
Where do I look for more info?
there is only ever one bar on the signal strength indicator
I have selected vodafone GB/O2 in the network page
my first post, I checked the other posts, hope I haven't missed anything too obvious
hm...try to upgrade radio?
THE RADIO IS 1.12
should/can I still upgrade it?
I just got a text from vodafone, so something must be working
I just tried the unlock tool again, I got a "successfully unlocked" message
however when I tried to use the phone, it said"phone can not be used without a radio" so
I looked in the manual, nothing about a radio
it says R 1.12.00
G 1337.42
D I.13.00 WWE
after reset
how would I install a radio?
I installed 1.13 radio but the phone still won't work.
I can send/receive texts on Vodafone, but on O2 sim it says"cannot register on network"
Also, cannot hear dial tone etc, though sound works well on mediaplayer
Like I said before, it rings for 3 seconds, then says "call ended"
UNLESS I switch to flight mode, then back, in which case it will dial out for 20 seconds(but only once)
Can anyone confirm whether I have a genuine fault or not?
thanx
Hello,
I upgraded without no problems my Polaris to WM6.1, from the HTC site.
Aparently everything works fine, except one thing: when i turn on the Polaris, it does not ask anymore for my SIM PIN. I have a SIM PIN set, but when it boots it apears just for a milisecond the screen where i have to put my PIN, an after that it just boots in Today menu, without connecting me to my vodafone network, or asking me for the SIM PIN. But when i press the green phone buton asks me for SIM PIN, and the connects me to my network.
In WM6.0 when i was turning on the phone it always asked me for SIM PIN in booting.
Can anyone tell me if there is a solution for this......or if this is normal to happend?
Thank you very much.
Hi ,
after upgrading I had a lot of small problems , but not yours.My solution was to install this rom :

...And everything went to normal again or better .
Best regards /
Was given a SPV M700 with WM6 (Rom version 2.0.8.1), GPS and WiFi working great but not the phone - cannot get a connection and I have tried different working Sim cards! Do I reflash with a new WM6 rom (which is recommended?) or just with a Radio Rom (current version 1.46.00.11) . Oh, I have checked the IMEI and that is not blocked. I don't mind having a go at reflashing as I also have a workiing HTC P3600. Never done this work so any help appreciated.
M700 not working
I have flashed the "phone" with a new radio rom but still getting the message that it cannot register to any of my selected networks. Next step, I guess, is to try a completely new rom. Any one got any ideas why the "phone" is not registering? **Update** Have tried two different 6.1 roms this morning and still can't get the phone to register with any networks????
Replying to myself, I know.. Latest situation is that latest Radio rom and decent WM 6.1 rom installed. I have inserted a Virgin Sim Card from another working phone and it shows a UMTS T-Mobile UK connection and even the 3G icon. However, when I try to dial out, it immediatly drops the line and if I try calling the phone I get the message that "calls are not currebtly being connected to ths number". ****Any clues****
is the virgin sim new have you used it before ie is it active?
and the phone is not set to flight mode silly i know but my girl put my phone in flight mode and it took me a few hours trying to find out why i was not able to make a call but i only had the phone a few days and did nt knw it had a flight mode.
if its not some thing like that then not sure what else to look at sorry cant be more help
Did the phone ever work? You mention that you got it, did it work for that person?
what provider did he use?
Is it locked?
did you try to cid unlock it?
Hey guys...i've just installed onyx 4.7 WM6.1 on my HTC Touch, and it never selects the network when it starts, i have to turn off the phone the cellular radio and turn it on again everytime the phone starts to select the network so any one got answer to this problem please?!
Mmm, this problem is quite unheard off.
Anyway, I have a quick solution for you, go to:
Start -> Settings -> Go to the Personal Tab -> Phone -> Go to Network Tab -> and under Network Selection you might want to set that to manual and select the operator of the network.
Do remember, when you go and roam (Travel Overseas) Make sure you set that back to automatic, so you can connect to other countries networks.
i have made it on manual already and i didnt work either...look i have removed the sim while installing the rom..mayb i should try and install it again with the sim in the mob?!!
mmm, have you tried other operator's sim?
If they can work, means your sim fault.
Vice Versa, if the new sim card dont work, thats most likely your phone's fault?
Have you tried hard-resetting?
well...about that i found what's wrong and i installed 2 different roms and the same problem exists!!
the problem is when the fone starts it doesnt ask me for the pin while it requires the pin 2 start....soo when i enter the pin in the phone setting it runs normaly
so what i've currently done is making it not 2 ask 4 the pin code
but i still dont like that option but i dont know what 2 do?
in the same way when i put my sim in my old fone..it runs normaly and asks me 4 the pin before it starts?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
mayb this's a radio problem?!!!!!!!!! i tried to install the new one 3.39 but i'm still facing the same problem?!!
What pin can that be?
Is it your sim card pin?
Check with your operator if there is a 'PIN Code' locked on your sim card.
yes..the sim card pin!

Yup, call your operator for details.
Your operator is the person who charges you for your monthly bill!
They will guide you through it, just tell them that you lost your PIN code for your sim card.
I'm going to try to downgrade the radio version...but i want 2 be sure if that is ok, and wont destroy anything in my phone
Yup, no problem, its okay to do that.
Whats the problem now
