It started about 6 days ago, it will recognize it for about 2 days, then back to saying its not in the device. I have had this device sin ce last year, never having any problems. I upgraded the rom to mobile 6, and no problems, all of a sudden, with no real reason, it did this. When I did upgrade to M^, I had no problems, its been a while since then. So, what can be causing this>?
please try to upgrade radio module to 1.15. good luck.
SD card not recognised on XDA EXEC
I had exactly the same problem & I emailed O2 XDA support.
They recommended syncing your machine to back up any relevant files.
Then do a hard reset Hold down two soft keys together and press the hole with the stylus. then select zero key. To hard reset.
This wipes your machine back to the O2 standard.
I then accepted the defaults.
I then inserted my card and magically it is working.
Now i am having to reload my software that I have lost ...
But I have not had any trouble with this XDA EXEC. nearly a year now ...
Does anyone know if it worth upgrading the rom from 1.3.107 (4/11/06) with the Blackberry version, even though I will not be connected to an Exchange server ...
Or is it a case of if it isnt broke dont fix it ...?
Llew
I did that before, and no sim. Then I re installed WM6 ROM, and it worked for one day, and boom. I had the WM6 rom installed prior, and no problems for months. NOw, is like its broken....lol. I need this damn phone working, is like an addiction not having it, I'm using my p910 and its not the saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame. HEEEEEEEEEELP!!!
I Hope this helps
I hope this helps
I've had a similar problme befor, ther are two things you could try.
1. try to elevate the pins that connect to the actual SIM card. Some times this pins/connectors get bent downward and do not make contact with the SIM Card. You should bend them SLIGHTLY more upward so that there is a frim point of contact. You could do this using a this coin or a credit card or something. Pleae don't bend it too much because you'll definately break the pins and that wont be good.
2. You could put your device into flight mode and take it off of flight mode. This forces the device to look for a SIM Card. When I had this poroblem I had to to do it after every soft reset It was annoying but it was worth it. Then I upgraded to WM6 and never had the problem again..
I hope this helps you, I know how it feels to have this happen, It's not a good feeling.

O2 XDA Exec not able to find SIM
Hi,
I bought O2 xda exec two weeks back,its having problem in detecting SIM,
and this problem is not very consistant, sometimes it works fine
I tried following things
1. I adjusted the SIM connectors
2. I changed the SIM in order to make sure that the problem is not with SIM
3. I upgraded ROM as well as installed WM6, it starts working when I upgrade ROM but stops after some time.
4. I tried switching flight-mode on and off, again it works for some time and stops again.
5. I even tried putting some paper behind the SIM to tighten it, sometime this technique works sometimes not.
So till this point I am not clear that this problem is mechanical(SIM socket)problem or software problem.

I think you need to return your phone for a brand new replacement while you are still close to your purchased date. It would also be nice if they can actually see the problem first hand, so they can't complain.
I have the similar problem with o2 xda exec this is saying Invalid or missing Sim , have tried changing sim dont work. Can you tell me in detail about where to get upgraded softwares and how to upgrade

I have a qtek 9000 and an xda exec. Both have the same rom updates (latest o2). The qtek works as it should, but the o2 does not. I have re-flashed the rom twice. No software is installed, nor is bluetooth running. The phone works and connects to 3g etc. If I close the clamshell, about 1 hour later the phone is asleep and will not wake up. A reset must be done in order to turn it on. I have hard reset many times and cannot fix this problem No calls or messages have been received by the phone. The green phone light remains flashing in its deep sleep mode, but it is not possible to call the phone. It does not ring or wake up. Has anyone had this problem? I have searched this forum and read many posts concerning sms causing sleep problems etc., but can find nothing relating specifically to my problem. Thanks for any help.
sounds like it could be faulty.
never woken it up via a phone call, so I don't know about that, as I don't use it as a phone yet, waiting until the contract for the W800i ends at the end of this month before I start informing people of my new number. But I wake mine up via the power button. If that fails for you, then I would suggest speaking to the company you got it from, as it would suggest a fault.
same problem here

imate jasjar with qtek 9000 rom
verry annoying
Kaze, this problem is usually caused by having anything running on the Today screen or resident in memory that is installed on the Today screen. For instance, a application loader on the today screen with links to programs on the SD card can cause this type of freeze, as it tries to get the icons from the SD card but cant - crashing(?) WM5. Just keep anything related to the today screen or bootup etc on the phone's memory itself and your crashes should go away.
dont think so
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=223711#223711
That other thread you are posting in is back from October/November last year. Just taking out the SD card wont help, you need to disable the programs trying to access the SD card. Although your problem might be different - maybe somethings faulty with your SIM card then? Try a different SIM card and see if it still happens.
As I said in my initial post, there was nothing installed on the unit. There was no sd card, and it was in total factory default condition. The unit was returned as it was faulty. The new unit works as it should, with the same sim card etc.

I've had a new Qtek 9000 for about 3 weeks and it has had exactly this problem from day 1.
Looking at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32688 I thought it might be a SIM problem but it isn't. Done a load of tests and the final one - hard reset - no SIM - no SD card and the problem still occurs. It's on it's way back for repair / replacement.
Same problem here? Does anyone have the solution yet?
I'm sorry no - mine had to be sent back for reapir.
It's fine now.
First one I got had this problem from day one fresh from the box with nothing installed. I simply took it back to the shop and had them replace it as faulty. Second one has never shown this behaviour.
Dodgy batch/ component.
My advice is don't wait for a fix, it's a hardware fault, return it under warranty.
I have a 8125 and It crashed on me. Now whenever I try to boot it up nothing happens, no power on at all. But if i take the sim card out it boots up just fine.
I took the sim card out of the 8125 and tested it in my RAZR and it worked.
Any Ideas?
Thanks a ton guys.

It might be that you still have an old %V SIM card? Not sure if that would effect the WIZ but some phones just don't work with 5V SIM cards - only with the newer 3Volt SIMs. You could ask Cingular for a replacement. I guess every store could help you with that!
Also: try (if possible) another SIM card from a friend or from where ever and see if it works.
How exactly did it "crash"? What did you do after the crash? Have you tried a hard reset? Are you running a custom ROM?
Well I bought the phone online and it worked GREAT for about 3 days, then I was at work and it kept turning off by itself. I would restart it and it would sometimes boot up fully (about 1 in 3 tries). I watched it and when it would shut off by itself the screen would fade to white then power off. I did a hard reset and that didnt do anything.
I also tried going into boot mode and installing the rom on the HTC website. That failed to help either.
I then tried to install the "Love" ROM i believe its called, but my phone crashes while trying to install that.
Any Ideas?
Thanks again for the quick replies!
Did the phone come with a carrier ROM, or did it come with a custom ROM? Do you have a warranty? Have you contacted the seller?
It may be easier to get a refund and/or new phone, since it may have been a bad unit from the get-go.
The phone came with the cingular ROM, Im not sure if its still under warranty since i bought it from a guy on the net. Im guessing its not. Any idea how much HTC will charge if I send it into their "Out of Warranty" repair shop?
thanks!
This is happening to me too. I have HTC wizard (cingular 8125) with the current rom from the HTC site. I was using the phone in landscape mode, then shut the screen, and the phone just turned off when it closed. Then I went to turn it back on and it just faded to white after the cingular screen. Last program i installed was either BTaudio, or GPRSStallWorkaround.cab (i know, should've just edited reg). Any thoughts?
PS haven't tried taking out sim yet... will try
edit: tried w/o sim, same thing no luck
Hi
Ok so my phone was working fine on a custom ROM when suddenly yesterday an exclamation appeared next to the phone signal and stopped from receiving/making calls and texts. I thought it had just crashed but after soft and hard resets and changing to a few others sims I just can't get my phone signal back.
Really strange as everything was working fine. I now have trouble flashing custom ROMs and am struggling to run a stock ROM because I'm on a mac.
It's driving me crazy as my phone is now useless.
Any ideas guys?
thanks
Quick update
I've managed to get the Leo Lite ROM running and everything is good except that damn exclamation mark next to the phone to phone, which means I can't get the phone working.
Anyone know know why this is???
Have you tried the sim in a different phone?
could just be a simple issue
And I know it a simple thing............but have you got flight mode on?

Thanks for the reply John.
Yeah currently having to use the sim in an ancient motorola and it works fine, tested with calls and texts. Also tried turning on and off flight mode but still that bloody exclamation mark stays.
That sounds like its been blocked. Theres a network there it just isn't letting it connect. Did you buy it second hand? or off ebay?

Hey Sam
Do you know what, I did buy it second hand, from a reputable store in town.
However this raises more questions than answers;
1. Why would it be blocked after several weeks of normal use.
2. Doesn't some sort of message need to be displayed stating the handset has been blocked.
Does anyone know if this is what happens when a HTC HD2 is blocked? i.e. the exclamation being shown all the time.
I presume a handset is blocked for security measures like theft. I will take it back to the shop tomorrow, they will have all the details of the person who sold it to them.
However is there no way this can happen from flashing custom ROMs? Even though that doesn't really make sense cause I had a ROM that was working fine and this happened when I was out and about.
It could be a bad rom, but it certainly wouldn't be in every rom.
I think id try going back to the stock rom, radio and spl (i.e an sd card flash, do you now if it has a provider locked rom?) and see if it is still there. If it still won't work, then it's definately either hardware or network.
The reason it could have taken weeks is, , seller trades in phone for cash, waits a little while, thinks 'i know'..., reports the phone lost/stolen to claim on insurance, insurance won't pay out without the imei being blocked.

Well I've tried flashing at least 6 custom ROMs, all show the exclamation mark.
The phone was sold to me as being unlocked to all networks, however I never tried with anything other than a o2 sim.
Now going back to the original ROM has its own problems. First off i'm quite new at this so sorry for sounding silly. How on earth do i go about finding out what the original stock rom, radio and spl is?
When I have these I can't easily go back as I don't have a pc, using a mac. I would have to use the sd card way but I can't find an official signed .nbh file.
I have a brand new T-Mo US HD2 with similar issue (out of the box). It's like the radio will not initialize. Did hard resets, tried to force it finding a carrier, etc, and it just will not turn on the radio.
I did find out that there is a likely issue with my SIM slot. If I attempt to remove my SIM card (which works fine in other phones) it is almost unremoveable and feels jammed in. However, once removed, I get connectivity via wifi and touch response is great.
If I insert a SIM card, it takes a LOT of pressure to reinsert it (yes, inserting it in the correct orientation), and the phone cannot connect turn on the phone's radio. Also, I get random phone.exe and credential.exe error message (plus the phone becomes very slow.
Don't know if you have any of these other symptoms, but the lack of connectivity sounds similar.
Supposed to get a replacement HD2 today, and we'll see.
I had the same problem too. I got unlocked code from tmoile and everything working fine for a month. It was working great after upgrade the latest rom 3.14 from tmobile download site (i got the message from them to upgrade), until i went out off country last month then the phone could not turn the phone's radio on. It kept at airplane mode. I been try to flash back and forth all the tmobile .50 stock rom and still having the problem.
Does any one know the issue to fix it? TIA
Looks like a hardware fault. You need to open case and check bottom two brass hinges are in working order and correctly hinged to make contact with antenna which is on the rear case at the bottom.
Follow the guide of opening s HD2 on YouTube there is a factory guide to dismantling the HD2.

Thanks for reply xlr8me. I just check the two brass hinges at the right side of usb connector. It looks fine to me. The other thing i didn't mention on the above post I was flash the dft_leo_nand android after tried all the stock rom from tmobile and the android said "no sim card", i also checked and cleaned the sim slot. Do you think any thing else to cause that problem?
One more thing without the sim or sd card the about phone show up all info of phone: imei, serial..... But with sim card in it just blank when i read the about phone hardware info. Thanks again
Did you try simcard from another carrier?

Yes I did tried the sim from the carrier of the asia country i was traveling to last month, that why i call tmobile to get the unlock code before i go. When i was there and inserted their carrier's sim and it won't work, even when i get back to U.S. I been tried either tmobile or at&t sim too. The phone radio won't turn on. The rest is working ok except those above error messages "A problem has occurred with device.exe" and "Credential.exe".
Do you think i can reflash with WWE rom .50 radio instead of tmobile's official rom?
Thanks
htcphonelover,
You will have to reset the phone back to default rom from htc website. You may also need to reformat sd card but the radio should still work regardless of whether the sd card is in or out.
My only concluding thoughts are that if the above fails to work then try a different sim card and still no good then probably something with the motherboard on HD2.
Good luck and update us with any new info..
Hello guys, I am having a problem with my unbranded x10i bought in UK (I am currently using it here in the philippines with a local sim card) . After I did an OTA two days ago, it just keeps on restarting/booting! I have tried the "repair" option twice in the PC Companion software but still no luck.
What's strange though is that when I tried switching the phone on WITHOUT a sim card in, it booted up with no problem (and I checked the build number, it says R2BA020 which probably means the OTA update was a success). I put the sim card back in and the problem came back, it kept on restarting.
What seems to be wrong? Any suggestions on fixing it? I would really appreciate your help guys. Thanks!
Update: I successfully rooted my phone hoping that rooting would solve my issue, but unfortunately it still keeps on rebooting/restarting whenever i put ANY sim card in.
Have you tried using another SIM-card?
yes. I have used different sim cards...
Try flashing back the original firmware.. and make sure the sim card is inside the x10 while doing it. Worth a try..
I have the same problem too and I have just updated my phone to R2BA024 and the firmware version is still 1.6. I have hard-reset so many times and reinstall some many times. The problem still there. I have contact Sony Ericsson customer service and bought my phone to fix. Got it back, problem hasnt been solved. I have waited for 3 weeks for a reply from them and end-up they said they do not have any new phone or spare-parts to fix my phone. Until then, I have contacted them almost 10 times and still no one has the right answer and just keep asking me to wait. They dun even have an exact date when the parts will arrive. I am very piss off now and I dunno what I should do next.
Its the same problem here with me too. Bought the phone from a friend about 3 days ago. was going all good when it just started to keep booting itself. While the sim is inside, it'll restart just as it finishes booting. Without the sim, its fine. I have tried other sim cards too, and format/reset my phone many times but it just isnt working for me anymore. HELPPPP!!!

Is it 32K sim or 64K???
hi techguru, can u tel me wot the diff is between the 32k and 64k sim ? many thanks
ISSUE SOLVED here.
BTW : my sim is 64k.
anyways, i found out that the problem was because of the faulty battery. what i guess is that the voltage couldnt get to the requirements of the phone, and everytime the sim radio (whatever its called) switched on, the phone just turned off.
I reinstalled/repaired my phone many times, GOT the exclamation mark of death one time also, but the phone just didnt turn on.
Later i noticed that the phone would just turn on itself when i attach the phone to the charger, otherwise it wouldnt turn ON. So what i did was just change the battery, and walla, the phone is ALIVE again.
Sim is working, phone is working.
BUT i see some signal losses from time to time, otherwise the phone is good enuff.
FOR me , the change of battery did the trick, I hope it works for u guyz aswell.
Cheers ...

hmmm. sounds interesting. I might try changing my battery. btw, i have tried using both 64 and 32K sim cards but the phone keeps restarting with any of the sim cards in. without both the sim cards, the phone works fine. how much does an x10 battery cost?
here, i get the cheap chinese battery. it isnt expensive, but its working great. almost better than my previous battery.
cost me around 2.5$.
but.. i am still getting lots of SIGNAL DROPS. i dont know why it is happeneing. I tried swapping the battery with the original battery of another X10, but no change. Signal loss is not a battery issue then.
Any idea what it could be ??
Signal loss?
Maybe a weak signal, or radio related?
or maybe its because i updates it to R026 is causing the signal loss issue ??
@techguru
I am also using airtel, but with a 64kb sim.
In my case it does not start.
It start if with no battery or with a 128kb sim of TIM.
I tried to recharge the firmware but nothing seemed to change.
I know that someone solved the problem swithcing off the phone in airplane mode, but this is not the case for me.
I also noticed that in some cases the led is green and is slowly blinking.
I am ready to change the battery if this helps, but I am not sure. Even if I put it under charge it does not switch on and the battery seems not to charge
As I bought the phone only since one day I wonder if they will change it.
Hello everybody!
I have a serious problems with my Streak. Few days ago, i installed an update from DSC v1.1 to the DSC v1.7. Two or three days everything was fine but then started a hell.
First problem, which appeared, was that it reboots itself. Anytime, for no reasons. Doesnt matter if I was working on the Streak or device was on the table. Then next day came the second problem, which is much more worse. When I was calling somebody from my Streak, the person on the other end was not able to hear, because everything was "lagy". Phone call was discontinuous.
I tried to reinstall that ROM (DSC v1.7), to perform a factory reset or go back to the previous version of DSC ROM.
Then new problems appeared - nothing is running now on the Streak, and most applications or processes is ended on the startup. And phone calls are still discontinous.
There is only one hope, is it possible to get back all the stuff from factory? I mean completely - ROM, kernel etc.
Thanks for every idea and help.
(I am sorry for my english).
Read this topic, you will know what to do after that.

Thanks for helping. This can solve problems with rebooting, but do you thing thats the reason for problems with GSM - Cell phone network?
Try it, and then you tell us if it's that the problem or not. Because i suspect the sd card, but maybe there is a problem with the streak.
is flashing another ROM doesn't solved the problem?

Flashing another ROM doesn't solving this problem on my device. I will try to replace the internal SD card tonight and I will post news about it.
Rebootinf - fixed, phone calls problem not.
Hello everybody.
Yesterday, I tried to change the internal SD card in my Streak to solve problems with booting and with the discontinuous phone calls. And here is the result:
Problem with rebooting was solved, but not with the phone calls. I found only one solution to fix the problem with phone calls. I took screen from this Streak and I put it into another one with broken screen (which I had, because it was cheaper to buy a used Streak than new screen). So I made from two devices, with a different problem, one device which is working fine.
I think that there was some problem with Main Board.
