Help, i have just got an XDA (first one) and downloaded the new rom and installed it in the hope that i coild use my orange sim. But all i keep getting are "the wireless radio is turned off. turn on the wireless radio and try again. Only emergency numbers can be made without a pin". the sim card is a pay as u go and is working fine in my nokia. I have tried another orange sim and it comes up with the same thing and i have set a pin up. ANY help would be gratefully received.

Tap & Hold the radio icon on the menu bar and turn the radio on,
(if that fails you might have to turn it on from the boot loader by holding the power button while doing a soft reset, after you're in boot loader mode the press Calender button)
then use the phone keypad to inter the PIN code then tap enter.
If that works then goto to Tools, Options, and uncheck Require PIN when phone used.
BTW did you have to inter a password to use your Nokia?

It looks to me like the sim isnt being inserted correctly, make sure that the rubber cover over the sim insertion socket is firmly in place and that you are putting the sim in the correct way.

I have managed to get the same error, you must make sure when inserting sim, that the sim is pushed in far enough to engage the clip, then your phone will work.

I have pushed the sim in all the way so the clip engages and you can only put it in one way for the clip to engage.
I have also gone in to the boot loader and pressed the calendar button and a list of things show such as UTILITIES, GSM ON, debug/call, turn on, turn off, reset, 900, 1900, 900/1800, recal and normal.
i have also put an o2 sim in and it all works A1. also if i tap the radio icon on the menu bar it turns the phone on but still says "the wireless radio is turned off. turn on the wireless radio and try again. Only emergency numbers can be made without a pin". Some more help will be much apreciated. Thanks

Sounds good, all we need to do is to make sure you're running the right radio stack!
So tell us where you're located and what radio stack version is currently running on your device. Going to Start, Settings, System, Device Information.

I am in the uk and details are,
ROM version - 3.17.03 ENG
ROM date - 05/15/03
Radio version - 4.01
Protocol version - 324e2
Hope this helps. Thanks

How did you unlock the xda? Did you use the developers rom, serial cable or xdaunlock.exe?

I used the developers rom. Thanks

Please help!!! 8125 does not function as phone

Hi I own a Cingular 8125 (Wizard), yesterday I did a soft reset because the phone was too slow (it wasn't turned off for about 4 weeks without restarting). When it launched it ask for my phone pasword, then for my sim PIN and took them without problems but it launched without connecting to my provider signal. Everything on the phone is working fine (WiFi-Bluetooth-PC Sync, etc...) but it keeps searching for signal.
I tried 3 different sim cards and the result was the same, then I test my sim on a friends phone and it worked fine.
The only thing I did to the phone a few weeks ago was try to use a dual sim ghost that didn't worked (it show the dual sim menu and worked fine with line 1 but when I tried to switch to line 2 it happenned just the same that is happenning now with just my sim inside, it kept looking for signal)
I did a complete reset and nothing.. happened the same, then I upgrade it's ROM to the one cingular has on it's website (http://www.america.htc.com/support/8125/software-downloads.html) it was the same one installed but it did the upgrade process anyway and NOTHING!!!
Does anyone have an idea of what could be happenning and what can I do to fix it?? I don't want to have a PDA phone just as a PDA and not phone. THanks.

Dual Sim problem

Ok, I have been browsing this forum for a solution to my problem and none seem too specific, at least for my BA wm6.
Here is the problem: I just received a dual sim adapter (the one that needs cutting) -both sims work fine. I can't get them to switch from one sim to the other from my phone. power on/off and flight mode won't do it either. I tried phone alarm, dual sim switcher, and wivit. They don't work for my phone. I also have a wm2003 se BA and tried it on there and I was only to get the dual sim to switch once. So now the dual sim is stuck on SIM2. So it doesn't matter which phone I use I can only use the sim that is on the SIM 2 slot! Blah!!
What I need: A program, or anything to switch my SIMs for my BA wm6. I don't want to keep taking out my sim and open the sim adapter and switch the two sims all the time.
Edit: after fooling around with my 2003se BA I managed to get the Dual Sim Manager to work again, and I noticed that despite switching SIMS, phone information alway display the default SIM. Does this mean that it is not switching? Does this mean that it does switch but the phone does not display it? If latter is the case then I am in big trouble! One SIM has unlimited internet and texting and other one is just a basic plan. Please help! I don't want a surprise bill!
Edit: Sorry, I needed an answer so I'm feverishly testing this crap out. And the answer is yes the sim changes but the phone does not display so. The trick I used is texting my account info and voila! Two different accounts! So, now over to my wm6 BA and check that out

I'm really surprised, that people are so patient to fight with such an uneffective and clumsy device as dual SIM adapter: you have to cut/destroy those SIM cards, then you have to pray that i works with your phone...
I really think, that if you really need to use 2 SIMcards, why not buying a 2nd phone, or just a special phone with 2 radios and for 2 SIMs.
And please don't tell me it's "for comfort" - dualSIM is antiComfort...

There are other solutions that you don't need to cut the sim, one that I have seen is the addapter is placed in the sim slot and the simm are part of the battery pack.
Bottom line is that that one sucks as well.
I feel there is a valid need in my line of work were I would need at least 3 laptops to support the Builds of my customers however VMWare gets me by fine.
As for the phone, I need 2, carry 2 and hate it.
So I would be a buyer if there was anything around worth having. (which as I still have a BA seems not the case).

Dual Sim Problem
Hi pharmeceutikle,
I wonder how this device works for BA at all!
I tried an adapter like yours of a friend of mine and it just doesn't work with my BA.After inserted, I don't see any new menu for it and when I restart the BA, it shows invalid sim message at startup. I have installed a WM6.1 ROM downloaded at this site [20749 (Build 20749.1.4.0 PV DVH) - v13] and my radio version is 1.12 (by the way, it was 1.15 but 1.12 is the only one that worked fine for my device). The same adapter, once installed on a Motorola phone of my friend works pretty fine! so, it's not a problem with the adapter, I guess...
Did you change anything on registry? could you please tell me how did you proceed since cutting the sims until you got it to work, please?
Many thanks!

This dual sim adapter only works if you have a working STK ROMs. I believe I used Helmi's original wm6 as one of them and then I went to others but I can't quite remember which. I posted an experiment with the all the ROMS I used awhile ago so just do a search under my name. Anyways, I couldn't get it to switch sims normally so I had to reset the damn thing all the time. I would go to the STK menu and choose either sim 1 or 2 and then quit out and then reset my phone for it to make the change which really is a pain. As soon as my second sim ran out I just tossed the infernal thing and stuck one sim per phone! Sorry couldn't be much more of a help.

Thanks
Thanks anyway I'll keep searching for a while.

qtek s100 no service
Hi guys,
I need your help repairing my S100.
I was trying to sell it to a friend who would buy it if it worked with the sim card found in his Vodafone HSDPA/3G modem.Then he inserted the card, found network, then after a few minutes it performed a soft reset.
Then it said(where the rom version is)"bad radio".
Then I performed hard reset, when it said "No radio", then booted up.
Then after a few minutes, it got frozen.
Then I did a soft reset and got a red message"bad radio" and it won't boot.
It only boots up after hard reset, then it can be used as a PDA for a few minutes.Then freezes, then it will not boot again until the next hard reset.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Trouble unlocking phone from Orange

I am trying to unlock my Touch HD from Orange.
I've used www.htccode.com and I now have an unlock code for my phone. I have put a friends vodaphone sim card into my phone but it doesn't prompt me to enter the code. I've even tried a hard reset but still nothing.
Could it be the ROM I'm using (BlackStoneHenge HyPer)?
Tony
p.s. Just tried with an O2 sim too - same result.

Here's a thought: I notice that the phone always goes to airplane mode when I put a sim card in. I wonder if Orange - in their infinite wisdom - have deactivated my old phone when I activated my new one. Does that sound right?
I'll put my new Orange sim into it and see what happens...
edit: Tested with my new Orange sim and the phone works fine.

In case anyone has a similar problem - I've found the cause. It was the ROM (BlackStoneHenge HyPer) that was the cause. I flashed a different ROM to the phone and the unlocking prompts then appears as expected.
