Hi guys n' gals
I have XDA 2, using the following:
ROM Version: 1.60.00WWE
Rom Date: 12/03/03
Radio Version: 1.10.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.60.50
I have installed the XDAUnlock2 program and after I run it I get a successful message, then whin I insert my other Sim (UK: 3 network) I get a message saying invalid or no sim installed. Anyone got any idea's?
Many thanks
Matt
you wont be able to use a 3 sim, this is a UTMS provider
people report that older 3sim cards works but newer ones dont
utms phones use gsm networks when the coverish of utms is absent
Have you tried a sim card from any other network in your xda2 just to make sure the phone unlocked correctly?
I was under the impression that 3 network uses different types of SIM cards depending on when you bought your sim.
From what I can tell it seems to be luck of the draw whether your SIM works or not. (newer USIMs being less compatible)
Does the SIM work in any other GSM phones?
Personally I wouldn't bother persuing this - as I seems, from reading other posts on this forum, that you'd probably be limited to just calls. It seems that SMS and GPRS don't always work.

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
:wink: N
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
HIIII! I'm from Portugal and i have bought a SIM MAX ( http://www.sim-max.com/ ), i´ve programed 2 of the 12 numbers that the card supports. In my Alcatel mobile phone it works, but in my Qtek 9090 only works with the 1th number, i can't change between numbers or networks....
Can any one program the Radio version to make it possible, in my alcatel, in STK menu e see the SIM options and i can change between the 12 numbers, but in my Qtek 9090 i can´t see the STK options...

we work 900 band and this is booked in the phone when i search in manual mode he make for me empty box to chose a network how i can add a config for my network any help
thanks all

I seem to remember being able to access different GSM bands in the bootloader. Perhaps trying that will work? Details about the various GSM bands available and how to get into the Wallaby's bootloader are elsewhere in this forum. Also, depending on the version you have; PW10A or PW10B, different GSM bands are supported so you may be in a situation where you're unable to use your Wallaby in your country because of a hardware limitation, to which there is no solution. AFAIK, one supports 900/1800 (PW10A) and the other supports 900/1900 (PW10B)
Regards,
Neil.
thank you for replay
i tried all
what i am thinking if we can add config for the network or what do you think
i change form pw10b1 to pw10a1 and again to pw10b1 do you think as
in most of phone there is a file of tune like pmm in nokia without this file the phone will not got a signal
thanks
moga
if you have an american model it should work with 900/1900
and if you have a non american model it should work with 900/1800
so it should work with 900 no matter what
it's all in the radio stack but
a radiostack CANT! change it it's hardwired in the gsm module
but a gsm module can get confused and stop working if a radio stack for US is put on a non US device and the other way around
look into which device it is you have and put the right radio stack on it if it will let you
have u find radio version works fine with egypt ? please help
i am working on radio 3.23 but signal is weak and when iam in low coverage signal lost and its does come back until i turn off and on network again
I wanted to try out moving from Orange to three so borrowed a sim card from someone who just recieved a new one for a sim only deal. The Sim though is not recognised.
The phone is a 3G using TNT diamond
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 11.0.4.0
WM 6.1
Any ideas if it can work as it I have seen forum entries where it just works...
Has anyone got their wizard working on three's network? If so what version/ROM are you running?
Cheers, L
Ok I am a complete newb to smartphones and need some help on a couple of things.
A friend kindly donated his HTC Touch and it is/was locked or the Orange network. After following some of the info on here I have managed to flash to rom to use onyx 4.6 ultimate and I thought I also unlocked it so it can work on any network.
When I insert my three sim card the phone shows as missing or invalid SIM, so...does anyone know if this phone works with three sims cards?
Below is the device info, just incase someone can tell if I have not done somthing to unlock the sim.
Touch version : Elf
Device ID : ELF010000
CID : ORANG001
IPL : 2.11.1002
SPL : 2.28.cmonex
ROM Version : 3.14.706.02
ExtROM Version : Cooked by dsixda
Operator Version: Onyx Ultimate 4.6
AKU Version : 1.6.4
Page Pool : 4 MB
RAM Size : 64 MB
ROM Size : 128 MB
Model No. : ELF0305
Part Number : 99HDM024-00
SIM Unlock Code : 33705973
Many thanks
mmm, that sounds like an unusual problem.
You managed to unlock and yet it did not work.
Does other sim cards work?
Can you try out with your friends sim's?
I believe he CID unlocked it. Will need to SIM unlock it also
I have managed to test with an O2 sim and it unlocked with no problems. It looks like 3 sim cards are designed differently as it still shows as missing or invalid sim.
Looks like my daughter may get this phone instead of me lol
Thanks for the replies.
Only 3G phones work on Three's network, so the Elf will never work on it.
hduty is right there
as the ELF or ELFIN is a 2G phone 3 sims will never work in it i'm afraid,
as the sims are configured only to work in 3G phones,
just thought i might add this as i get a lot of customers at my work (customer services for a major UK mobile network) asking me the same question...
Ohmy, Three's network is quite 2G unfriendly.
