I have the HTC p3600 which has been confirmed by HTC as being sim free.
however I cannot get any sim card other than T-mobile to work. the display shows sim card missing, I have been trying my orange SPV m600 sim card. also tried O2 and Vodafone.
Any thoughts please??
Rom ver = 3.00.751.10
ROM date =06/29/07
Radio ver = 1.41.00.11
protocol V = 32.74.7020.18H

Hi guys n' gals
I have XDA 2, using the following:
ROM Version: 1.60.00WWE
Rom Date: 12/03/03
Radio Version: 1.10.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.60.50
I have installed the XDAUnlock2 program and after I run it I get a successful message, then whin I insert my other Sim (UK: 3 network) I get a message saying invalid or no sim installed. Anyone got any idea's?
Many thanks
Matt
you wont be able to use a 3 sim, this is a UTMS provider
people report that older 3sim cards works but newer ones dont
utms phones use gsm networks when the coverish of utms is absent
Have you tried a sim card from any other network in your xda2 just to make sure the phone unlocked correctly?
I was under the impression that 3 network uses different types of SIM cards depending on when you bought your sim.
From what I can tell it seems to be luck of the draw whether your SIM works or not. (newer USIMs being less compatible)
Does the SIM work in any other GSM phones?
Personally I wouldn't bother persuing this - as I seems, from reading other posts on this forum, that you'd probably be limited to just calls. It seems that SMS and GPRS don't always work.
I ask because my Exec was unlocked in the UK for O2 and Orange, then I updated the ROM and sold it to someone in Australia (Melbourne), who says they get an 'Invalid SIM Card' error.
Anyone who's Exec *was* unlocked, and who has installed the update, please report
Just tried an Orange sim in my Exec, I have done the ROM upgrade and the Orange sim works fine, so I can confirm that the new ROM does NOT lock the Exec
Regards
The XDA Exec is a bit finiky about SIM's
I have had problems with an older SIM card from T-Mobile USA (16k version), taken from a Motorola V300 gives Invalid SIM Message,
Yet a newer sim from T--Mobile USA from a Sidekick2, (32k Version SIM), works fine in the XDA Exec
So I think you need to tell your buyer that he needs to get a newer sim from his Cellco, Most Cell Companies will supply an updated sim for modern phones if the old sim is not supported, it will not mean any changes in number etc!
Hope that helps

I wanted to try out moving from Orange to three so borrowed a sim card from someone who just recieved a new one for a sim only deal. The Sim though is not recognised.
The phone is a 3G using TNT diamond
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 11.0.4.0
WM 6.1
Any ideas if it can work as it I have seen forum entries where it just works...
Has anyone got their wizard working on three's network? If so what version/ROM are you running?
Cheers, L
Ok I am a complete newb to smartphones and need some help on a couple of things.
A friend kindly donated his HTC Touch and it is/was locked or the Orange network. After following some of the info on here I have managed to flash to rom to use onyx 4.6 ultimate and I thought I also unlocked it so it can work on any network.
When I insert my three sim card the phone shows as missing or invalid SIM, so...does anyone know if this phone works with three sims cards?
Below is the device info, just incase someone can tell if I have not done somthing to unlock the sim.
Touch version : Elf
Device ID : ELF010000
CID : ORANG001
IPL : 2.11.1002
SPL : 2.28.cmonex
ROM Version : 3.14.706.02
ExtROM Version : Cooked by dsixda
Operator Version: Onyx Ultimate 4.6
AKU Version : 1.6.4
Page Pool : 4 MB
RAM Size : 64 MB
ROM Size : 128 MB
Model No. : ELF0305
Part Number : 99HDM024-00
SIM Unlock Code : 33705973
Many thanks
mmm, that sounds like an unusual problem.
You managed to unlock and yet it did not work.
Does other sim cards work?
Can you try out with your friends sim's?
I believe he CID unlocked it. Will need to SIM unlock it also
I have managed to test with an O2 sim and it unlocked with no problems. It looks like 3 sim cards are designed differently as it still shows as missing or invalid sim.
Looks like my daughter may get this phone instead of me lol
Thanks for the replies.
Only 3G phones work on Three's network, so the Elf will never work on it.
hduty is right there
as the ELF or ELFIN is a 2G phone 3 sims will never work in it i'm afraid,
as the sims are configured only to work in 3G phones,
just thought i might add this as i get a lot of customers at my work (customer services for a major UK mobile network) asking me the same question...
Ohmy, Three's network is quite 2G unfriendly.
