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

M3100 Incoming call problems

I have just recently bought a M3100 (second hand) and am having some problems receiving incoming calls.
Things I have done:
1. The phone was locked to Orange, so I ran the superb tools on this site to SIM & CID unlock the phone, inserted my T-Mobile SIM and all seemed OK.
The phone working for about a day on incoming and out going calls fine, I then started to add various software I have used in the past (magic button, pocket infomant, ewallet, sprite backup etc). I then discovered I could not get any incoming calls, but could make outgoing calls OK.
2. I then decided to update the ROM to the latest Orange ROM from the orange website (not knowing if the previous owner of the phone had modified something). This came up with an error and hence used Extract NBH, Customer RUU as per previos posts on this site which all seemed to work OK.
Just for information when I orginally tried to upgrade the ROM, the boot screen said SPL 1.4 olipro ?
3. Even with this new ROM (phone sill unlocked), the incoming calls don't seem to work very often.
I am a newbie to all this, so is this problem due to the radio software, or have I just got a faulty phone ?
Thanks.

You have read the mrvanx guide I take it, if not click it on my signature. Have you installed the latest hard SPl v7? and what radio version are you using, because each time you upgrade the rom the radio does not change and you need to upgrade this seperately. I need more info.

Site should be back on soon, best to wait. The radio version you have is not the newest but should be ok. Try a hard reset while you are waiting to see if this helps.

MDA II - No Service

Hi, i recently got this MDA II from a friend and finally succeeded in updating it to WM5 and ROM Version 1.72xxxxx T-Mobile (can't remember all the Numbers).
It work's perfectly for everything i wanted it for (Navi, etc.), except for phone calls. After entering the PIN it just says: Searching or No Service.
I tried a SIM from T-Mobile Austria (from where the MDA comes), and also one from Hutchinson Austria (3) - Same Prob. I also tried to unlock it with the unlock tool located on this frorum. I got no error but it told me that the phone already seems to be unlocked.
It's not a big deal for me because i never intended to use it as a phone replacement, but somehow it's bothering me a bit.
I don't know if the ROM upgrade from 1.6xxx to 1.72xxx is the Problem. To tell the true i don't even know from where I got this newer ROM. The only thing i know it was not from T-Mobile Austria.
I already found a Version from T-Mobile Austria (RUU16008GER_TMobile), but this Version is very old and I don't know if it's worth the risk of downgrading.
Can someone please give me an advice on what to do?
Thanks in advance

first of all then 1.66 and 1.72 are not wm5 roms at all they are just the last offical roms for these devices and they are wm2003 roms
second then they are roms not radiostacks (radiostacks are the software for the gsm module)
http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=132&func=select&id=26
list of various radeostacks
personaly i use 1.19

Thank you, as you can see i'm a total newbee to this topic.
Is there somwhere a detailed manual for upgrading the radiostacks?

HimaUpgradeUt.exe
upgrade
rom if nk.nbf is present in the dir
and
radiostack if Radio_.nbf is present in the dir
so if you want to upgrade the radiostack along with the rom
one just make sure both of the files are present in the dir
if one wish to upgrade 1 of the 2 simply remove the other nbf file
same deal with extended rom

Thank you
Ok, i tried the 1.19 Radio Stack together with the Hima_-_Helmi_AKU3.5_ROM_SP2 ROM.
The update progress proceeded fine but i still have the same problem.
edit: Wow after 5 Minutes i've got a connection with A1 (right now i'm trying a Hutschinson SIM witch connects via GPRS automatically to A1)

Ok, i tried Roms Stack 1.19, 1.17 and 1.08.
On some certain locations i get a signal, but in general the signal is very poor.
I'm not shure but maybe the couse of the problem is the phones hardware itself, and not the software?

maybe
dont know about where you live but here i dont have too many issues
but the htc phones i had have in general had a poor signal then nokia and the likes
and poor conversation quality
you could try giving other sim cards a go as some older sims have had issues with htc phones in the past

I just wanted to inform everyone that you where right (again ).
Today i tried a newer Prepaid SIM from A1.
Now i get a full Signal from everywere in my house.

1. No, you cant use the phone without a radio rom
2. Yes, you can flash the radio 1.15

ty ! that means that my phone isnt stuck but just a lack of the radio-rom.!

Just one comment: did you try to make a soft reset? RadioROM does not show when you first put battery in. You need to turn it on and then, after 5-10s make a soft-reset - radio rom should show up.

Also, if your device is locked to another operator, it will seen as if the BA could not access network, but in fact in the SIM lock problem.
At least, that's what happened to me.

HTC Trinity Problem (Serious)

Hello, i have a problem with my HTC Trinity, since a few days, i can't connect to my network (Orange), but i can connect to other networks with an other sim (because my trinity is unlocked).
I have found that my IMEI was altered, i think i can put the imei number here because is not a really IMEI: 359426000000007, but on the back of my Trinity, only the 7 last numbers are differents. How i can restore the good IMEI ? And why the IMEI was altered like this ?
I did some research on how change this number but i can't found anything about this version of HTC. Please help me i can't use the telephone fonction in my principal network.
Sorry for my funny english but i consider this forum like the best in the domain.
I hope the trinity is already of actuality. Thank You.

help
I did a lot of research but i don't found anything, I think it's possible with Mtty, but i don't know how to use it. Please, can you explain me the way to do this (if some one know how we do it), i can't use the Gsm part of my trinity
I don't want to change my operator, thank you.

I have found a solution: my nokia 3210
If you have a solution please send me a message.
Thank You for "all" =)

Your emei is not self-altered
What did you do on the device ? ( flashing, installing,... )
Which is the radio version ?

Thank you for your response, i have actually a DOPOD official WM6.
I have tested to downgrade to a WM6 FAMAN and after a DOPOD official WM6 and WM5, but the IMEI don't change (only the last number change). I was return after to the WM6 dopod.
Before, I was tested many other ROM, and the problem is i don't know when exactly the changement was gone because i was'nt in my country for 2 month, i have used an other operator and the ROM i was tested was upgraded during these two months was : Faman & Schap's (french rom) and the FInixNOver, i had no problem before come back in france...
(I had tested also to upgrade the ROM Radio, but nothing too.)
I have read that we have to upgrade to a backup, but i have no backup, i have tested to using a tty program but i'm not good in this domain.
Thank you very much is somebody know a solution... (and sorry for english ^^)

imei problem
Hi,
The first 8 digits in the EMEI number are make and software version.
The other digits are problably overwritten by a software change. (unlock, flash, upgrade, etc)
Try EMEI CHANGER in Google

I already did this kind of search, but nothing for trinity.

what is your radio firmware version now?

I'm now in a 1.30 Olipro radio rom, i had before this recent upgrade the 1.50.08.11

Hi,
You can try http://gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/index.php/t-341121.html
but returning to your previous radio might do the trick.

Don't work with trinity... changing of radio don't change anything.

I think the only option is get back to HTC in your country than doing too many resettings which make things worst.... I got mine "hang", after too many setting and reflashing..... ;(
Gd Luck.

this solution is too easy, i'm not this kind of person. Thanks anyway, i will test an other solution.
