When you come on here and say a friend had a friend who had a friend who found this phone, thats not being subtle at all. If this is a stolen phone (which is what it sounds like), you have come to the wrong place to get information. There are ways by which you can go past the user defined password, but I know how much I would hate to have my phone lost/stolen. For this reason, I do not think you can find what you are looking for on here. To all other members, I hope you understand my point of view and its not me being a jerk or anything like that. Sorry.

HTC touch ELFIN HELP

Hi everyone.
This is my first time in xda and i am here posting because i have a problem with my htc elfin.
I bought the phone from e-bay. The seller told me it was unlocked but in fact it wasnt. It was on Orange and i had to unlock it using a program i bought on ebay (latter i saw it for free online ). The program was designed for htc elf but i was told it would work. Well, in fact it did, but i have a problem... The phone easilly loses network and even when it was network it wont make or receive calls... Texting works ok... I really dont know what to do... Can anyone help me??
Best regards

Hi,
Well, I hate to break the news to you, but it does kind of sound like the phone may be broken... two things you could try anyways:
a) Perform a hard-reset: Switch off your phone, keep both phone buttons pressed (green&red) and switch it on. The out-of-box state will be restored and all your data will be erased (!). So backup your contacts before doing this.
If this does not work, then it is highly likely that your phone has some sort of hardware-issue. But you may still want to try
b) Upgrade the firmware of your phone (including the radio part!). Just look around in this forum, there's basically everything you need. Always pay close attention to the how-to-guides & make sure you proceed exactly as decribed there.
Good luck,
murosama

Hi
I tryed what you said. Hard reset made nothing but updating rom did... I his working better but not perfect... Maybe some antena problem dont you think?

IMEI problems

Ok so before flaming about "man its illegal" or such, just listen my story.
I bought a HTC magic like 6 months ago from someone who bring the phone with him from england. As long as i live in Turkey, i asked him about "i wont buy it if it is not registered else it ll be shutted down in no time" He told me that i am right, thats why he registered the phone, and we checked the official IMEI registration check site "http://imei.tk.gov.tr/sorgu/imeisorgu.php" and it was written "registered IMEI".
Well after 5 months even a bit more, the system decided to drop the registration (seriously i dont understand why they do such thing), and now when i check it, it says "unregistered device".
I called the imei registration office, they told me that they found some documents are missing and had to sended again to them (which is quite lie probably) thats why they unregistered my imei. Well, if the documents are missing why the **** on earth they registered the phone once? Something is really fishy here. I really dont know what are they trying to do but there is only 1 thing coming to my mind that its just to cut off the second hand phones and make the people buy new phones to make the dealers win more money. This is a really sick idea with a very ****ty way to force it to the end user.
Now, i have no chance to find the seller to make him resend the papers to them for registering my phone ONCE again.
So, i decide to change my IMEI, and i wanna use the IMEI of the old nokia 6600 which is registered ofcourse.
So now please tell me is this wrong what i wanna do now? I bought a registered phone, one day they decided to unregister it by themselves, and now i got a blocked phone.
Thanks to Turkey's retarded laws and orders, all i wanna do is to use my nokia's imei on my sapphire 32b. This is not thief or such i think.
Now anyone can help about it? i digged a lot about imei change, i found imei change for many other models, but not for my phone. And as long as i see, changing imei means stolen phone in your countries, thats why no one wanna talk about it.
Well guys, in this earth there are some other possibilities about that imei stuff, mine is one of the exemple. Please stop thinking about "imei change = thief" idea if the subject is Turkey.
Thanks a lot.

Htc hd2 pin lock!

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a line rental htc hd2 and I put the pin lock 5 days ago and it was working perfectly for 2 days then the third day onwards, its kept on saying "incorrect password", I called both t-mobile and htc. they dont seems like they care about the customers, all they saying is " DO HARD RESET" If i do that I will lose all my contacts, applications (well everything!!!!).
I always had pin locked on my nokia phones for years and they never gave me a headache. I am f**kin tired of this irresponsible companies (I asked them, if its gonna happen in the future, if i do hard reset and the answer they gave me is "possibly".
If someone find a solution for this problem, please do help me.
I cant access my bluetooth and I cant sync with my pc).
Thanks,
Jay

anyone found solution?

Noooooooooooooo

im in a trip at miami
i took a cab to this club at night and my phone slipped out of my pocket in the cab, before i realized anything the cab drove off and then my phone was missing, i called it and a girl picked up and said she had it, so i took another cab to go meet her wherever she said she was but she wasnt there, i kept calling hte phone all night and it was ringing till about 3am when i stopped trying in order to get some sleep. i woke up now and im calling and its going straight to voicemail. that means she turned the phone off or took the sim out. the phone was at around 80% battery when i lost it with wifi and everything off so it would ahve lasted the whole night
so my phone is gone!! im wondering what i can do? im with rogers in canada, is there an insurance or lost phone insurance policy that i can bring up? or is there a way they can lock that phone's usage abilities through the VIN number?

Phone rogers and get tell them its stolen. They will ban the ime so it can't be used with any sim.
Use wavesecure in the future. It can lock, track and wipe your phone remotely. Sorry about your bad luck!

If you want it that bad you can go to the police and they can find it next time when someone turns it on.Or the service provider can lock it somehow and make it useless.

Highly doubt that they have the time or resources for that unfortunately.

well i have a friend that bought a Iphone from unknown sources and next day the police was at his door asking about the phone.But this is in Hungary and a 400$ dollar phone theft is worth loocking into.I think there is someone who deals whit this kind of theft.But who knows.

Thats what i did when my last phone was stolen from me, go to the police, they will make all your country carriers search for its imei in their network and they are able to locate it too.
I got my phone after 3 months thought. :-(
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...

Sorry to hear about your phone dude how unfortunate. Like instigator008, you should call Rogers and tell them about your phone. Did you have your IMEI no. written down somewhere? cuz if you do I'm sure Rogers can lock the phone from anywhere within Canada. They might be able to track your phone too with the IMEI no. but I suggest next time you use a security app that tracks down your phone and locks it down as well. There's a couple of good ones but I'm not sure which. This reminds me I should do it myself too lol. Good luck buddy, and hope you get your phone back soon.

i lost my older 5800xm in a cab too, but im my case the cab driver called the contacts thqt r obvious to me "mom" "dad" and dropped it off himself, i gave him $50 and the phone itself

I am afraid Rogers will not block the IMEI, they do not do that at all unless it was stolen from one of thier locations. Silly I know. There is a lost/stolen program in place just call and see what they can do for you.. also if bough on a credit card there maybe something that can help you. Home insurance may also help.
