My mda pro is locked, can I still use it as pocket pc ??
whenever I start it without sim it only display T-mobile startup logo & dont go forward?
Tell me if its normal ? how can I use it as pda ??
thanks in advance for help.
Locked phones are in 99% of the cases stolen phones.
We don't do stolen phones here..
The behaviour you describe is NOT normal with the Qtek ROM.
Nor with the O2 ROM, I think.
You could perhaps reflash to a different ROM?

Thanks for your reply, sorry offence not meant but plz keep your stupid comments with yourself.
just now I hard-reset & yes it solved the problem...
However just to clear things, I bought this phone very cheap from uk locked to T-mobile with the hope that its unlocker tool will be available soon
It is definately not normal. From whom did you buy this phone from? You probably want to go back to the store and have it checked. Have you tried a hard/cold reset?
You said that it will not run without a sim, so have it ever run with a sim (t-mobile or not)? If it did run before, I rest my case. If not, the phone definately not behaving.

I feel that my comment was rightfully made.
This forum does not like stolen goods, and we do make others aware.
As for the term "Locked", I have seen this used on both "Subscriber Locked" and "Barred/Banned" phones.
You have a "Locked" phone that you wish to use without a SIM card.
I then assumed that you had a stolen device.
How ever, I still gave a good answer to your question:

Yes, I am aware of this. How ever, I do believe that T-Mobile unlocks the phones for a fee?

Anyhow anybody can please answer my question. I have tried soft-reset but still it keep displaying startup logo screen.

As I said; I have given you my best answer; try a different ROM.
My Qtek ROM has no problems letting me boot without a SIM card.
I allso believe that the O2 ROM will let you do this.
With this knowledge in hand, I suspect that the T-Mobile ROM could have some software restriction that disables the use of the device without a SIM card.
The way to solve the problem would then be to flash the device with a different ROM.
You could alternatively try to reflash with a newer T-Mobile ROM.
[Edit]Perhaps this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38590?[/Edit]
So, the next time..
Please think twice before you refer to an answer as "stupid comment"?[/url]
If I start my O2 Exec without a SIM in it, I get a password entry box for the phone similar to the default one for my password-protected SIM, and there's a message saying that only emergency calls can be made ... blah blah..., but I can cancel this password screen and get to the Today screen and use the machine as normal. I think I press the Windows key on the keyboard to bring up the Start menu, from where I can choose the Today screen.
If your machine is locked by T-mobile in a way that means you can't get past a block screen then I'd say this is T-mobile protecting their investment if you don't have a valid SIM card.
Assuming you've tried a hard-reset already without success, you've got two options, I think:
- buy a PAYG SIM from T-mobile just to fool the machine
- flash the ROM to that of another provider (such as O2 UK) who doesn't impose a similar lock
Without knowing more about the T-mobile lock you're seeing it's hard to say more. I know that my O2 phone isn't locked permanently though.
Hope this helps.

Thank you!
2 things :
- 1 : if tou want to unlock our MDA PRo call T-Mobile, pay £15, wait few days and you will have the code.
- 2 : normally there is no problem to use your Mda Pro as a PPC even if it is simlocked to T-Mobile. Just switch Off the telephone application. Try to put any simcard in, it does not matter anyway. If you're stuck with the boot screen your problem may be linked to a rom problem. Nothing to do with the simlock.
My MDA Pro SIM locked T-Mobile Germany works fine without any SIM card inserted.
Or to simplify get a t-mobile paygo sim from the uk.

Hi Everyone
Got a Wizard (badged as an O2 XDA MINI-S) about 4 weeks ago but having nothing but problems with the phone functionality.
The problem:
The phone will loose connection to the O2 network. I could be in the middle of a phone conversation for 3 mins or so and it will act like it has lost reception. I look at the screen - it shows the call still connected and the signal strength shows full. Then the screen will say disconnected and the signal strength will drop to nothing yet the GPRS indicator will still be there. I either have to reset the phone or switch the phone to flight mode and back out of flight mode! This problem occurs if i make calls or recieve them.
I bought the phone on the standard ROM from O2 then upgraded it to the ROM version 2.21.4.101 which gave me the push functionality AUTD. I didn't use the phone long enough to tell if this problem occured after the ROM update.
Thanks to Faria and Machinagod's postings on here i was able to CID unlock the wizard to try a different ROM to see if that cured the problem. So i put the IMATE K-JAM ROM version 2.16.9.1 on yesterday, didn't add anything else on it, still the same problem!!
Any ideas anyone? i'm pulling my hair out now!! :evil:
First i would try cleaning the sim contacts, both on the sim and device. Sometimes faulty contacts lead to this problem. (poss faulty sim - have you another sim you can try?)
Next i would contact o2 to check there is no fault at their end e.g. faulty transmitter, computer systems.
If none of these solve the problem then its prob a faulty radio on your device and i would exchange for a new one.

Do you have a SD card inserted ?
If so remove it for the day and see if the problems persist.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
The SIM card works fine in other phones (i've not had this one for long!) so i hope thats not the problem but i'll give it a shot. I'll try getting rid of all the contacts etc on the sim and phone and see what that does.
SD card - yes i have one inserted now but the problem was still happening when i didn't have one in there.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help so far

heheh i think he means the actual contacts on the SIM! you know the metal bit of the SIM that makes contacts with the pins inside the phone!
not your phone book contacts!
HAHAHA LOL Stupid me!!!

right - that didn't work anyone else have any ideas what could be causing this?

I am having the exactly same problem.
I am going to request a new SIM card from O2 as I think it is due to the SIM. Will let you know my result.

Exchange your phone - maybe a faulty radio in your phone. You could try a new sim but as you said you've tried it in other phones and they are ok.
Darklondon - thanks very much i'd appreciate the feedback!
Meschle - i've got to say i think i agree the phone has a problem! i just hope that if darklondon manages to resolve his issue with a sim card mine will work with the same resolve.
I also have this problem. Im on the T-Mobile network in the netherlands. When it cuts off you can see that there is no more radio contact (there is a cross on top). It then resets the radio and gets back. Within 10 seconds of the cut off i can be called and call back????
it's been a month since my last reply and I havenot yet change my SIM yet :shock:
however, i think i found the problem, at least, i think so.
the constantly cut off issue, for me, it's due to the overclocking. initially i overclocked my CPU to 264, which brought the instability to kill the "phone" program constantly. if you have any task manager try to kill a "phone" program, and you will see the signal bar goes off completely.
so, i changed my overclocking to 242. problem solved, no more cut off now.
wow really?! but i'm not overclocking .... mayube i should! i don't see the phone program in task manager?
I can see the "phone" program or say thread with SmallMenuPlus and vBar. And sometimes I can see more than one.
hm, I don't see a "phone" process with Memaid, but I'll try the reducing of overclocking too, since I have the same problem. 240 is the nearest option to 242 though in my omapclock...
Lars
I've found that this problem occurs using many of the AKU2 ROMS out there along with an application that requests a GPRS connection on a very frequent basis (GoodLink for me, MSFP, Agile Messenger for others).
The problem is that the application requests a GPRS connection, and for some reason the device decides to drop the call in order to connect.
For myself, this started happening after upgrading from a 2.17 summiter ROM, and continues regardless of what ROM post 2.17 I use. I've also tried flashing many different Radio ROMS, all to no effect.
I've been back to 1.8, and that's solved the problem. I'm now using a 2.17 ROM that I flashed today to see if the problem persists there.
This isn't an overclocking problem - as I never overclock.
I have a AKU2 ROM installed, though I never use GPRS (way too expensive here). So that can't really be it I guess...
Hi i have a SPV M3100 which has been working perfectly until yesterday it started saying "No Service" with my Orange Sim Card. I have tried the following things:
1) Tried my Orange Sim Card in a friends SPV M3100 and it finds a signal. - So Its Not the Sim Card.
2) I have tried Re-flashing the original HTC 3.54.255.3 no change.
3) Even tried an o2 and 3 Sim card in it...still "No Service"
I think the antennas working fine...because if i go to Settings>Phone>Network and select "Manual" and click on "Find Network" it detects and gives me a list of:
Orange
O2-UK
Vodafone
T-Mobile UK
I select Orange and still nothing. And On My SPV M3100 it is reading the Sim Card fine...it shows up my phone number and my contacts etc..
What could it be?
Closed
This thread can now be closed or deleted. Screwed the phone up trying to get it fixed. It comes on and everything but no the Computer sees it as "Unknown Device" and the wi-fi wont work at all now.
So delete or close this thread please i have had enough.
Relax dude, do a hard reset and see if that helps.
Can you tell us what radio version you are using?
I have tried hard-reseting quite a few times now. No Luck
Radio version is 1.48.00.10
Update to a different ROM, and also flash a new radio to the device (1.47.30.10).
Well ive tried flashing Schaps Roms to it...without success. Ill try flashing a different radio rom and be back with the results

Does the device show "NO GSM" on the red text at boot up?
No it doesnt...just says the MSB with the numbers and the rest of the information radio version,rom version etc.
Hmm, hardware problem I suspect.
You could try changing the band to GSM only?
start>settings>phone>band.
If that doesnt work its a hardware problem i think.
That does not want to work either....

Went In To my Local Orange Shop today and the guy checked my imei number to the ones on the system...Its Been Blacklisted!...Apparently someones reported it stolen....where do i go from here?
Well According to the seller i bought it off he hasnt reported it missing or stolen....I tried going to orange with my purchasing details etc and they just said "nothing we can do now".
what do i do now, go to the police? or what?
Dude, unfortunatly..........sounds like the seller is spinning you some lies, if HE/SHE stole it are they likely to admit it?
It seems very unlikely they police blacklisted the imei by accident...if you go to the police and suggest its not stolen you most likely will either be prosecuted for handling stolen goods (probably wont but they CAN do you for that even if you are an innocent party just buying from a stranger) or they will confescate the device since it it probably nicked?
Id put this down to bad luck, sorry man.
That makes me feel alot better...
All i know is that I didnt pay £165 to have it blacklist on me! There must be something.
I bought an XDA EXEC on Ebay as 'spare or repair' which had a damaged screen which I replaced with my M5000 screen.
I unlocked it with Buzz's unlocker which worked fine. I tried my Vodafone sim which had no service so I then tried an O2 sim which had the same problem no service.
I have tried countless Radio ROMs and still the same.
I am now using Tomal's - v8.2: WM6.1 Pro
Rom version D.08.20 TML WWE
Radio version 1.09
Protocol version 42.42.P8
I have also rolled back to the original O2 XDA EXEC ROM but have the same issue with no service.
Could this be an antenna issue? or is it just dead?
Any help would be great. Thanks.
When I soft reset my uni next to my daughters baby monitor I can hear the uni searching for a signal through the baby monitor and then I get the no service again. Not sure if this would help any of you identify my problem?
Could be antenna. Blacklisted, perhaps?
do you have active service on the sims that you are putting in?

I phoned O2 last week to see if it was blocked? But the bloke I spoke to wasn't interested and basically told me my uni is dead without checking to see if it was blocked, I might attempt to ring again later?
How could I find out if the antenna is not working?
Is there a link on this site that has a picture of the inside of uni so I know what I am looking for if I was to change the antenna?
Thanks for your reply.

When you open your Uni, the antenna is a large white plastic part attached to the mainboard by 3 screws and housing your camera lens and flash.
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/ind...1306605&imageID=29054213#a=1306605&i=29054213
On the pic you can see the Uni on the left with large white antenna visible. Make sure it connects to the mainboard underneath, there should be metallic prongs that should be touching the contacts on the board. When re-assembling, make sure the copper foil is attached the way it was, don't forget the flash connector position, if you reverse it, the flash will not work.

There is a website (I don't remember the URL now) where you can feed your IMEI number and it says if the phone was blacklisted. Google for it.
Edit: The website now does it for a fee (£1.99) but I've found this link that could be useful for IMEI check: http://forum.whatmobile.net/showthread.php?t=38259

I used a site a week ago that checks your IMEI for free which came back with UNBLOCKED but as a read somewhere on this site that someone tried the same site which said theres was UNBLOCKED when it was actually blocked.
So I'm not to sure about that site anymore???
I have replaced the antenna which made no change? But did find that my old uni dident work due to screw on antenna snapped off which is a bit annoying!!
Still need to phone O2 but its Sunday so that will be tomorrow now!
Ok I have phoned O2 for them to tell me the uni is blacklisted as far back as two years ago and can never be used again so its as good as dead? unless theres away of replacing a part inside with my old M5000 which will bring it back to life???
If this can be sorted then I will be a happy man again!!!
For your Uni to work, it needs a new mainboard. It is unclear from your previous post whether your M5000 works now, but if it doesn't, I say replacing the mainboard will not do a single bit of difference.

Thats a shame! My M5000 wouldn't switch back on after a ROM install failed which I took battery out thinking Sim was still in uni which it wasn't and never switched back on afterwards and PC would not recognise device.
Please help me fix my beloved HD2 I have replaced my HD2 with one I purchased off ebay a few weeks ago, as the hardware on my old one failed. Anyway, it turns out that the one I purchased off ebay is a TMOUS HD2. Anyhow, the phone works perfectly in every operation, except the most vital feature, cellular connection!
On the original Windows Mobile 6.5 rom, I just get an exclamation mark where the signal should be. When I search manually on network selection I can only see Orange that comes up. This is no use to me as I am on GiffGaff (ran on the O2 network).
On android, under the status screen I can see that there is signal being recieved, but most of the other boxes say things like provider unknown etc. The signal says something like 103db, -3asu (these are only the figures I remember), so I can see that some signal is working.
On windows phone it says No Service on the phone icon. I have tried the APN tool and it still does not work
What could this be? I have reflashed some different radios and it still does not work. The simcard worked perfectly with my previous european HD2. I have now spent about 8 hours tonight trying to get it working ;(
Many thanks

run htc connection setup obtained from the htc marketplace part of the windows phone marketplace. those numbers you see under android is the signal strength numbers. did you not know you were buying a tmous phone from ebay and not the european version? the phone should still work as the hd2 is a quad band phone.
anyway, the connection setup app is what you need. make sure your cellular connection is on in settings.

hey man, cheers for the reply! I thought that it was a european phone, the pictures showed a generic HD2 with white buttons, so they must have just used a stock picture, I was quite happy that it was a tmous one, because of the extra ROM. Anyhow, in windows phone 7 I did actually run the HTC connection setup, and configure it to giffgaff, but I still cannot call people as it says there is no service :/ I have reinstalled android and the signal strength is -95dBm and 0asu, is that a bad signal?

try locking the radio to 2G GSM in settings & see if you can get on the GiffGaff network.
Try some other sims to help eliminate a network issue.

I have enabled 2G in the android preferences on the typhoon rom, I have also inserted a different simcard (BT) and the same issue occurs
Could it be a radio issue? I have my suspicions that this is a refurb phone, could the antennas not be touching the chassis properly?

Sounds odd, try a WM6.5 rom such as NRG & one of the top radios such as linked in my sig & see if you get it working then move on to ROM of your choice or pin it down to hardware issue ...
I have a TMOUS HD2 & have used it fine on Orange, Vodafone in the UK. If issue persists on WM6.5 I would suspect hardware issue !

Hey, cheers for trying to help!
I installed the stock WM6.5 rom and suddenly I got 5 texts and there were 4 bars of signal. A minute later all signal was gone and no matter how hard I tried I could not get any
This was after I opened up the phone and made some fixes.
It turns out the phone is a refurb unit that the seller was trying to sell as brand new! I was first alerted to this when I saw the original sticker seal was replaced with a Chinese one, and the grill near the earpiece had dirt in it. Most of the antenna prongs on the mainboard were bent down, so I bent them back up. All of the screws that were meant to be securing the main board down were also missing. This is a word of warning to those buying off ebay. The company I bought this off were a very large Chinese company, but it would appear that they refurbish phones, make them look new and try to sell them as new, and most of them work. The link to the seller is below:
http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/cellphoneforever
Do not buy from them!
Thanks for everyones help with this, I have given up trying to fix this piece of ****, anyone have any ideas what I can do with two broken HD2's? Any buyers?
