Hi all,
I have an XDA orbit which I have been using with my original o2 sim until recently! I was given another phone and the orbit was redundant!
I then decided to put my works vodafone sim card into the orbit, which worked fine!!
Company moved to orange this week, so I put my new Orange sim into the orbit, It worked fine for about a day and now doesn't! I cannot connect to the orange network, and when I go to phone setting to change the network etc I get a "Phone not ready, Try again in 15 seconds" message! - It doesn't matter how long I wait, I can't get access to it!
Can anybody help me please??
Thanks
Alex
Problem is sorted now!
Sim had come loose!
This can be locked up or deleted now!
Thanks

I have a t-mobile mda compact on contract, which i only got for the phone. I use my o2 sim card in it. Last Friday i lost my mda compact with my o2 sim card in it. I phoned up t-mobile and got the phone blocked then phoned o2 and got my sim blocked.
Then i went and got a new o2 sim card and used it in my c500. The next day i got a phone call from a friend of mine and he said that someone had phoned him saying that he had my mda compact!! lucky me!!
I then collected my mda and put my o2 sim card in it and it worked fine. I still carried on using my c500 as the stylus for my mda was not there with the phone.
Then last night while i was at work my c500 broke and wont stay on for any longer than 10secs. I thought lucky that i have my mda, but when i put my 02 sim card in the mda this morning my mda wont pick up a signal. I have also tried other sim cards in the mda but none work.
I phoned t-mobile and they assure me that my phone is unblocked. o2 say that i may need to get a new phone??
I'm a bit confused as to what could be wrong.
Is it possible that my phone is locked to t-mobile again??
Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated
just do a reset
if it wouldnt help make a hard reset (holding power button + reset button with stylus)
I've already done a hard reset but still the same. There is a exclamation mark next to the signal icon, any ideas what that means??
same to my O2
hello
well well i did a upgrade to my rom and ext rom now i got the same " ! " mark next to the network signal on my phone and same it would not pick up any signals
so is my phone also locked
can some one help me !!!!
MDA compact issue.
Just saw your post on the XDA forum re: no MDA signal after loss.
I work at T-Mobile (UK) head-office in Hatfield and while I’m not in Customer Services (or even a customer facing role!), my job as a Transmission Network Planning Engineer does give me access to all the systems that I could help you out.
While I don't actively post to these forums (yet) I have been keeping up with the PDA/Mobile scene since the beginning.
Worst case scenario, even if I can’t help I could confirm the status of your IMEI bar or SIM block, etc and pass you internally to the appropriate team.
My direct extension is 01707 313319, (switchboard - 01707315000) however I am finishing work at 5.30, so you are welcome to ring me tomorrow.
I know how frustrating it can be to get nowhere especially with an MDAc and cust-serv, so I’d be glad to help.
Kind regards,

hi
i dont know
but its working fine after the reset again i did
Hi, I used xda dev 1.6_138 to unlock my Orange M500. When I did it it asked for a service code and by using PRUN xdadev_1.6_138 -q -f it seemed to work ok. I tried an O2 sim and that worked and so did my Orange sim for a while.
Now neither the O2 or the Orange sim work, although they both work in other phones.
I got a Vodafone sim card just to try it and that works. I have updated the rom and radio but this hasn't helped.
Should I try xda dev tool again with the vodafone sim in??? I'm scared if I do it wont work on vodafone then, but I want the phone on Orange, I don't know why I bothered unlocking it in the first place, looks like curiosity killed the cat.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I bought a used mda compact locked to tmobile, without a sim, was supposed to be working though.
I unlocked it with the tool on here, tried several sims, all I could get it to do was text messages on Voda
if I tried phoning it would cut out after 3 rings, you couldn't hear the ringtones either.
Unless I switched to flightmode, then the first time I tried calling it would ring for 20 secs.
does yours do that?
sorry I can't be more help
these tools are all working fine
Hi guys, great forums, have learnt so much in past few days.
I have an m5000 but i'd like to use it on o2. So reflashed with aku3.2 beta8 and inserted o2 sim.
I now need the o2 settings if anyone would be kind enough to give them me, can't seem to get 3g on o2 either, where as my orange sim instantly displays "U" when it turns on.
That's the only major problem at the moment....
a simple google search will get you the settings
what i had to do to get my 3g working, was use a 3g sim card. I couldn't use my old O2 sim, so i had to activate the 3G one that came with my exec.
hope this was helpful
I have two XDA Mini S phones, which I believe are fully unlocked. I am able to use a Vodaphone sim in them and everything works perfect. When I put my works Orange sim in them the phone works i.e. I can make and receive calls but the Sim Manager does not work. Which means I cannot access the contacts on the sim card or use the options menu to configure the phone. When I try to access the options menu I get the message " the phone is not ready, please wait 15 seconds and try again"
Has anyone else had this problem and gotten over or around it. I have spoken to both o2 and Orange and they are both an absolute waste of time. I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.
Hi,
I am on orange too, also had the same trouble. I could make and receive calls, but could not access sim card to add contacts or send / receive texts. The XDA mini is a 2G phone, my orange sim is was a 3G. When I changed it for my wifes 2G orange sim, all worked perfectly, so we just swapped sims and phone numbers. Tried to get a 2G sim out of orange on my contratc, they were having none of it, said I would have to go PAYG. So I did the swap with the wife and extended the contract.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for your advice Mlkey.
Following your response I contacted Orange and changed my works contract 3G sim for a 2G sim on contract. This still does not work and as usual I am getting no real help from Orange.
Looks like the only solution will be to change my mobile / pda, that is, unless anyone else has any other possible fix.
Are PAYG sim's different than contract sim's ??, if they are does anyone know if I were to get a PAYG sim that worked in my XDA would I be able to get my company number transfered to that sim and convert the sim from PAYG on to my works contract account ???.
I would appreciate all the help / advice I can get, before this drives me mad !!!
XDa wizard and Orange sim only
Hi,
I'm having exactly the same problem! O2 to Orange sim only and completely no SMS. Orange support is argueably the worst. Interseting to here that it's version. ie G4/G4..Have read somwhere that VOip SMS maybe the solution? ...If i can find the thread again I'll post a link.
Cheers

Fixed this problem by using the t-mobile 2.26 rom as described in "Definitive Guide to unblocking and rom upgrading g3 wizards
I am having exactly the same problem. My phone is a G4 and I believe it to be fully unlocked from o2. According to orange my sim is a G2 sim because the 7th number of the sim card begins with a 2 and not a 3. I cant even try a different rom because I can't connect to my computer with active sync through usb or bluetooth this has been for about a year now.I usually transfer files through a card reader. Can anybody help me because the deal with orange is really good but the phone is useless without sms or mms and I really dont want to change the phone.
