Problem connecting to O2 after unlocking XDA

Hello all
My colleague posted this message a couple of weeks ago, but didn't provide full info and as such the replies did not work. :roll:
So here it is. I would be grateful for any advice.
I unlocked my xda I, using a software I downloded from here, which was previously working on O2 UK. After that, it doesn't work with any O2 Sim. It works with all other UK sims (Vodafone, T-Mobile, Orange). But not O2. The O2 sims are ok as they work on other handsets and specifically my unlocked XDA II and other handsets ( I have tried 2 different O2 sims).
But no joy. I even tried to change the GSM frequency on the XDA through boot loader (even though I didn't have to), but no joy. I have gone through the auto config several times. but no joy. I even re-installed the latest O2 firmware and radio update (from the O2 web site), but still no joy.
I am running out of ideas. Does anyone have any idea? Should I try and downgrade the firmware and radio stack and try again? Can I do it from the original CD?
I would be grateful for any ideas.
Cheers
Nima

Can you tell us the nature of the error with an O2 sim, what is shown at the signal level meter, what happens when you attempt a call etc. Please leave the radio stack alone, your phone is working on 900 and 1800 bands so that is not the problem. Was the sim that you have at the moment working on this phone on O2 before the upgrade.?

Hello Thank you for your reply.
When you turn the phone on, it asks you for the SIM pin and the device works fine in every other way. But you get no signal. If you try to make a phone call, you get the phone dialer screen and you can dial the number but, obviously, it disconnects more or less immediately. If (from the phone dialer screen) you try and go to options it freezes and doesn't show you the options screen and then you can only exit the phone dialer. Also, I put the GSM frequenct back to what it was. I haven't changed anything in the bootloader mode anyway. I had problems with the original O2 sim after the upgrade (funny enough, it worked for a day or two), but now i don't have that sim as the contract finished. By the way, both of the O2 sims I am trying now are contracts and NOT pre-paid.
Well here it is. I hope this helps to let you figure something out. I would be grateful for any ideas. What about formware downgrade? what do you think? could it help ? is it even possible?
Thanks a lot.

It presents as a blocked phone, if you look closely at the signal meter after a soft reset you may see the signal come up but then drop back to nothing. It may be coincidence that it stopped working with O2 2 days after the upgrade. I have seen this happen with phones that either have been subject to insurance claim or where a contract was not fully paid up for the 12 months, however it usually means it will be blocked on all networks. It does not look like a rom downgrade will work, also as said before, if it works on Vodafone it should logically work with all other 900 mhz bands.

Issues with magician after unlocking

Hi, just got an MDA compact that was sim-locked to T-Mobile
After reading thru this forum i unlocked it on http://www.imei-check.co.uk
Only now i can use EVERY other UK SIM card inside it apart from virgin mobile. Every time i stick a virgin SIM inside it, i get the message "call ended" when i try to dial any number from the MDA and the message "calls are currently not being connected to this number" when i dial the MDA from another phone
Now i know it's not an issue with the SIM card because the virgin SIM works fine in my XDA 2 and in any other phone, so i'm guessing it's an issue with the MDA itself.
Has anyone else had problems like this with the MDA compact and if so, how did you resolve them?
Also this unit won't let me flash it with a new OS, every time i extract the original ROM, NTRW.exe gives me the message "OriginalROM.nb1 cannot be read - the file exists". Any help on this would be greatly appreciated too
OS ROM: 1.01.00 WWE
Radio ROM: 1.00.10
D (no idea what this is): 1337.36

okay, starting to think the MDA i found has been reported lost or stolen.
I'm guessing the reason that i keep getting the message "call ended" is due to the fact that virgin mobile piggybacks the T-Mobile network and so virgin was blocked off as well since T-Mobile blocked the IMEI. (I don't want to try to risk putting in a T-Mobile SIM in the phone so i'm not sure)
I can't return the phone to it's owner either since the MDA was wiped clean when i got it (owner musta forgot to charge it).
Ah well it still makes a good PDA
Well that's solved the problem of the "call ended" message. Anyone else who has that message after buying a phone off the net, you probably bought one that was nicked and resold.

It will be blocked on all networks unfortunately, only good as a phone outside UK so at least you can use it on holiday abroad.

network problem (Qtek s100)

Hi,
I bought a Qtek S100 from a friend a few days ago.
The problem is I can't recieve a network.
When i start the phone, I have to enter my pin code and I can see my contacts and everything works as normal. But when the phone searches for a network, after 5 seconds an exclamation mark appears next to the network-recieve-icon.
It says "no service".
So now I can't make a call of send a text message.
I tried soft and hard reset, trying all the settings, another sim card, but that all doesn't help.
What can I do about this?
Is my phone simlocked?
Please help
Jonas.

try to change a radio rom

how do you do that?
never heard of that

Are you using the same provider as your friend? Does your sim work ok with other phones? I guess that it's sim-locked. Try borrowing a sim from another friend whose provider is the same from whom you bought the unit.

Locked or not - Wizard on Orange

I have just got an o2 mini s (HTC Wizard) from work. When trying to use my Orange sim card in it the phone will boot and I can make/receive normal calls.
When trying to send SMS or change the Phone settings I get the message: "Phone is not ready please wait 15 seconds" continually.
Does this indicate that the phone is locked to o2 or not and needs an unlock code - or anyone have any other ideas?
I have tried googling/searching for similar issues on Orange with the Wizard but there doesn't appear to be a clear answer.
Thanks.

No this does not indicate anything. I had this problem before.
Try this::
Go to comm manager and turn on flight mode and then turn it right back off. Wait untill your phone re-acquires a signal and then try sending a text again.

That does not seem to clear it.

Hmmm. That worked for me. Try using lokiwiz ver.02b to sim unlock the device and then look for network wizard to configure the network settings to your new carrier.

M700 Phone not working

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?
