[URGENT] X1 can't find T-mobile signal - XPERIA X1 General

I have used my x1 for four months in America with T-mobile. The phone had no problem until yesterday. However, yesterday, the phone began to lose signal and automatically rebooted several times. Then, finally, from the afternoon, the phone totally lost the signal, and kept looking the signal.
I took out my sim card and plugged into another cell phone and it worked. So, I thought it was the problem of the rom. (I was using Touch-IT 4.5) I downloaded the new version of the rom, Touch-IT 5.6, then flashed it. However, it did not solve the problem. So, I flashed with the original SE rom. However, the phone didn't work either.
I contacted T-mobile, and there was not problem on the signal on my region. I thought it might the problem of data plan since I do not use data plan. So I used Advanced config and killed every option for data plan. However, it still does not work. I tried to do settings manually. changing band, carrier, and every possible options, but it does not work.
Interestingly, the phone worked two times today for a short amount of the time. However, after the reset, it is gone. Other than phone function, I do not see any problem.
Even now the phone keeps searching the signal. What can I do? I read another article that is similar to my case, and they say even after changing the sim card, it does not work.
Anyone has the same issue? What can I do? My phone is dead for two days, and it messes up so many things. Please somebody help me.

Have you tried redoing the connection setup?

try clicking on signal antenna then enter settings click on network and manual select your network, will take a few mins to find networks if it connects manualy just select auto again and hopefully it will fix it., worked with mine.

Thank you guys
Thank you guys. Yes, I have tried both of them, but it still does not work.
In Connection setup, I chose United States and T-mobile, and the screen to choose between T-mobile and At&t. I select T-mobile, and click Register. Then, it goes to the searching mode again, and nothing happens.
I assume that somehow, the phone finds networks, since it does show the options to choose (T-mobile, At&t). But something is not right, and it messes the set up. I do not know why.

Phone not working?

Okay, so basically my Jam died due to lack of charging... I finally get it back to running and on a full charge, but for whatever reason, my phone isn't working. When I click to see what the reason is, it says "No Service", when meanwhile my parents (whom I'm on a family plan with) have excellent service, so obviously it's the phone. When I try to look for a list of networks, nothing comes up. I'm running out of ideas here.
Anyone know what the problem is or have any potential remedies? I really need my phone back.
What I understand is that you have not been using your unit/phone for some time. Most probably your SIM has been disabled. Have you tried your SIM in another phone?
Yes, I tried my SIM card in another phone, and everything is working fine. I then tried someone else's SIM card in my HTC Magician, and it works fine for about a half hour, and then it loses service just like it's been doing with my own SIM card.
I've tried numerous hard resets, to no avail. When I go into the Phone Network settings, it finds no availible networks, and if I do it manually, it doesn't find anything either. In the "Phone Services" tab, whenever I choose the "Get Settings" button, it says "Unable to read setting from the network. Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again." Um, what?
I have no idea what is wrong with my phone. Hopefully someone here knows my situation and can help.
Hello, I have the same problem, I have tried other SIM but the message is always “not service”. Someone has some idea on like resolving the problem?
Hello,
You might have a problem with the Radio stack. (ROM part) When you perform a soft reset, the rom versiona nd some numbers are listed at the bottom in the splash screen. Are they proper? If not, try a ROM upgrade or re-flashing to fix the radio.

Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network

I'm curious to know if anyone with a non t-mobile g1 experienced the same.
My phone was working fine this morning until it stop being able to register on the network with the above error. The only thing I did with it this morning was to put on a screen protector. I doubt it's related
A reboot in recovery mode and a wipe fixed the network registration issue so I guess some data were corrupted.
Hi.
I have the same problem now. Have tried to hardreset but still No service..
Can you help me??

Just get a new sim card
I have the same problem now - but it is extremely frustrating and I have tried, since I first wrote what is below to downgrade - but cupcake will not let me.
I have an unlocked - but also unrooted G1. I use it in Europe and in the US. While in Europe I got the message to upgrade and without thinking I did. Then while in Europe I could no longer use the phone as a phone. The update went fine and I had ‘cupcake’ but any SIM I put in (T-mobile, BASE etc) there was no signal and when I went to do it manually I got the message “your SIM does not allow a connection to this network”
So I did a hard reset, but then I could not get pas the start screen since I had no data connection (but I did seem to have phone connection again.
In a layover in Atlanta I tried again - I was able to log in and set up and all was great and good. I should note that I have an old data plan and use an alternative APN to access data. This worked fine in Atlanata where there is 3g connection.
Back home no win Florida… no phone service - same as in Brussels. same message. Worth noting - there is no T-mobile 3G service where I live.
After thinking about this for a while I am wondering if somehow I did not get the correct or full radio update…
if this is true - do you have any idea how to remedy the situation or how I would know if this is the problem?
I appreciate any help.
I have the same problem, any news about this?
I had this issue randomly about a week ago. Reboots didn't work, and I really didn't want to go through a wipe/re-flash. I called T-Mobile, they had me reboot [after I told them I had already done it] --- they ended up deleting me from the network and reboot my phone again, which apparently re-registered me on their network.
This is on T-Mobile US (SW Ohio to be specific)
Does anyone has any news about that? I was told that this might be a radio issue, so I tried to downgrade my celphone to version 62.33.20.0H_1.22.12.29, (using fw 1.0 too), it worked for some time then suddenly it gave me the same error that my sim card it's does not allow to this network, so I forced, again, to my network and the same message appear, I tried this sim in another celphone and worked, I tried another sim on my G1 and it didn't worked, this celphone was working when I lived in the US, but here in Brazil it's not working just like there.. my guess is that the Radio in other countries has any bug, does anyone here was able to fix that? any further advice?
thanks.
weird, i have this issue tonight on one of my unlocked g1's that would normally be working on ATT.
I'll update this post if/when I find a cure.

I've been having the same issue of and on for a couple of months now with a G1 on Dutch T-mobile with dutch T-mobile SIM card, which is odd. Running CM mods so maybe the fact that i'm runnig non stock fw causes this?
I get this problem from time to time. Almost never around town where coverage is good, but when I'm on the road in a lot of places where coverage from any provider is poor this happens, especially if it keeps having to switch back and forth between roaming and not roaming. I even get this on T-Mobile and they are my provider. Usually a reboot fixes it, but not always. I've never had it last more than an hour though.
Try reflashing the radio on your phone. Sometimes this helps solve odd connection issues.

according to my tries, this isn't related at all. i'd like to check in on this thread and see a known fix instead of maybes.
Had the same problem
I had this problem about a month ago, apparently simcards can go bad after a while; I had the same simcard for 5 years and it became unreadable. I went to a t-mobile dealer, bought a new simcard for $20, and I was finally able to get my connection back. It's a bit of an expensive route, but at least I didn't have to replace the entire phone.

my att sim is 4+ years old, but works fine in all but one phone in question, with the above error. also, I have a brand new tmo sim that throws the same error, only on that one phone- which leads me to believe its not a sim CARD problem at all.
all my phones are unlocked, in case of weird problems with any gsm carrier.
Looking at your sig, is this one of the phones with gnav? Because some of the earlier techniques of installing gnav have resulted in a "no service" signal. If it is one of the phones with gnav, try pushing the old build.prop files back into the phone.

gave it a shot, used the normal build.trout... and same results. surely someone at tmobile is familiar with this problem ?
Same issue.
I am running cyanogenMod-4.2.12.2 with radio v. 2.22.19.26I on a t-mobile mytouch. I will lose service and the phone will not automatically reconnect to the network. When I manually select my network (wind mobile) it sometimes connects fine and sometimes I get a "your sim card does not allow a
connection to this network" error and must reset. I found this thread code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2845 where dozens of people running all different hardware (G1-hero) and all different software (stock cupcake, cyanogen, etc) all experiencing same problem. It seems this problem is happening regardless of the network (T-mobile, vodafone, orange & wind mobile). The problem seems to be happening through all different variables. Changing sims does not seem to fix it. Anyone have any ideas, this is very frustrating.
I've seen this issue as well, with the new Canadian provider Wind Mobile.
The issue seems to coincide with new towers being added onto the network. There are minor service disruptions that result in the network being temporarily screwed up. Going into and out of airplane mode seems to fix it every time.
Also note: These minor service disruptions do NOT ONLY affect my phone, but others (different brands) as well.
They've gotten better at adding towers without blowing up the whole network. It started out happening a few times every day. In the last week it happened only once.
Funny observation: When this happens, the DATA SERVICE recovers automatically, even though the signal gauge remains in X-no service mode. This part is probably android and/or dream related.
It is related with network
I've started to have the same issue tonight. I've rebooted several times and changed the SIM card with another from another operator but nothing helped.
Then i remembered that since I bring this phone from Belgium to Turkey, the regulations in Turkey requires the phone to be registered with its IMEI number to the telecomunications supreme board.
Altough i had initiated the registration process months ago, i thought that there may have been a problem with the registration, so i checked the boards web page.
It turned out that my IMEI is not registered and this most probably is the reason for the not allowed connection.
Tomorrow i will try to reach the board officials and i hope it solves the issue.
do you know what happened? i having the same issue right now and cant seem to find a way to solve it..

my location doesnt update, weather, google maps, bing, etc

searched the forums with little info about my situation, other than that it seems to be happening to a handful of others.
havnt changed any settings or added apps or anything to my phone for several weeks if not months. i am using the cell evo v1 rom. 2.11.50.20 radio. i dont have a proxy server running.
for the last 2-3 days my location has only updated itself once. google maps cant find me, as well as bing. manual update does nothing. soft reset does nothing. wifi connect does nothing. i can get on the internet, sms, mms, etc etc.
i read on tmonews.com that tmobile was turning on HSPA+ in my region in the last couple days, along with 18 or so cities around the US, can this have something to do with my problem?
not sure what else to do...cant find any info.
thanks
I'm having this problem now as well. Been working on it for a couple days. T-Mo has had HSPDA+ here in St. Louis since before I got my HD2, so I don't think it's due to them adding it to your region.
Strange things I've noticed so far:
It works if Wifi is on, but not connected to a network.
It works if you are connected through EDGE, but not 3G or H.
The AGPS server IP address in the registry is a private network address: 10.something. If someone with a stock TMOUS rom can look in /HKLM/HTC/SUPD AGPS/ for the Server IP key and post the contents, I'd like to know if it's the same.
These issues are the same as everyone with different devices has been having for a while now, but the older phones with the issue seem to work in some areas without the wifi and edge workarounds, and not others. Mine so far works nowhere without the workarounds.
Try going into the manila slider and on the weather tab press menu > Enable my location
^ that isn't even an option for me on the manila slider anymore for some reason. I disabled the gsm and ran on edge and it was able to locate. as soon as turned gsm back on it wouldn't do it again.
bump, anyone?
Smartass answer in 3...2...1...
Maybe you should move to Denver. Colorado is beautiful this time of year.
Kidding aside, how about trying a hard reset?
from what i've seen on threads somewhat related to this, hard reset is a 50/50 shot. if i'm going do a hard reset where i would have to redo all of my settings and such, i'm just going to wait until the new version of the cell evo rom comes out. which is supposed to be soon.
i really dont understand what would cause this to suddenly happen. especially since it still works on edge. i tried wifi once and it didnt work, but i think i had my network connection still on. but regardless, this is pretty rediculous.
If you've traveled anywhere, your radio may be 'stuck' on a distant tower. This has happened on a couple of our phones and the tmo folks had to do a push/release/unstick type of signal to the phone. May be worth a try.
^ok, i called tmo tech support. mentioned about the possibility of sending me a reset signal, she said that was a possible scenario, but she was pretty confident that it was because my sim card is an older model sim card. claims that the sim card in my phone wasnt designed for 3g services, and any sort of change in the network (like them adding HSPA+ like i mentioned above) could interfere with the connections. she said the fact that i could do this on edge and not 3g is a dead giveaway that the sim card is the problem.
she said they are in the process of trying to get people to go to the corporate stores and switch to the latest sims. apparently this is happening to a lot of people, but the sim should be the fix.
i guess i'll shoot up there later on after work, or tomorrow, and i will give you guys a follow up on this.

Actually that does make perfect sense, and I suspect you'll find it clears up your problem. In fact, for anybody else that finds this thread, I suggest you try that step before other alternatives like hard-reset or ROM flashing.
yep, new sim card did it guys. i would recommend anybody having any connection issues to see if your sim cards are up to date.
edit: it was working before. now its only updating on edge again. not sure what to think or do. going to wait and see what happens when the new rom I use comes out.
any other ideas on this guys? new sim card only worked for a few hours. back to only updating 'my location' on EDGE and WIFI. pretty damn annoying. thinking about calling tmo support again to see if they'd send me a 'reset signal', but with having the new sim card you'd think that it wouldnt be a factor anymore, because i'd imagine it's already been reset.
the only other thing i could think of, and thats what tmo would probably tell me to do, is a hard reset. i'm sure they wouldnt be too happy with having a flashed rom on there either (not that i would tell them anyways).
if nobody has any other ideas but a hard reset, i'm going to wait for a couple days until the new release of the cell evo rom.
thanks
Yea. That weird problem hit my second HD2. I bought one 2 weeks ago and after your post paid more attention and of course noticed my location being Denver....
I deleted all preset locations and added custom one. It updated only once, right after location was activated....
However, wife's phone HD2 which was purchased on 3-24-2010 or original release date does not have that issue, ROM was updated to 2.13 a month ago or so...
Here you go...
Two of the same phones (supposedly), with the same stock ROM, with the SIM cards acquired about 5 years ago. One shows weather update without problem, second (newer one) has that dreaded nag....
I had a similar issue where the weather would only update once then freeze and never update again. All other 15 location updated but not my location. This was normal for stock and 2 roms, then I used energy rom and it now works. huh? Go figure.
Strange...I'm in St. Louis, as well...MO, that is...and it is working fine for me.
Try downloading the HTC connection wizard. This has fixed connection issues I've had before. I know Tmo has 3 networks to choose from MMS, Data, and Internet. I beleive you want data and may be your phone is selecting Internet.

ya that didnt work. either. still does it on edge though. the cell evo rom update will hopefully be here soon, if that doesnt fix it, the i'm not sure what to do.
I also have the problem of weather for my current location not updating (and the location not updating either). I have had the phone for almost a month and it updated regularly, although I noticed an occasional lapse for an hour or two. Following the suggestion by misticninja, I switched the band to Edge and I was able to update the location and weather. When I switched back to auto (3G), the update failed. It occurred to me that when I am in my basement office at home, I get Edge, not 3G. That may be why I got updates there. But I am sure it has updated in the past at my work location where I have very good 3G. Is this an HTC problem or a T-Mobile problem?

I'm having this problem ever since Tmo announced HSPA+ (4G speeds), but my sim is only 2mo. old! Is that an old sim?
You need to have your location enabled. Go to settings tab the location and then click on enable my location.

HELP! Unable to connect to any mobile network - DHD

Hi Guys,
Wondering if anyone could help? I think I may have turned my DHD into an expensive mp3 player! I don’t seem able to connect to any mobile network Apart from that the DHD functions perfectly (working wifi/gps) - it has been working fine in the past
I can’t make/receive any calls / text message. When I try to connect to a mobile network I receive the following error:
- If I choose the network manually myself (o2 for me) I get "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
- If I try going for the automatic option I get "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later."
- I'm also getting the notification every 10 minutes to "Set current time" - I don't know if this is related but I assume so since both issues started at the same time!
The problem occurred when I decide to give RCMix a go through ROM Manager. It appeared to flash fine and was running smooth and quick until I noticed a few hours later I had no mobile connection I'd done this a few times before with RC 7 and CoreDroid and hadn’t experienced an issue before.
First thing I tried was to recover to my previous setup before the flash (using ROM Manager) - the phone restored however the mobile network still remained unresponsive! ...this was the same for all my previous backups. I tried clearing cache and dalvik-cache. I even tried reformatting the phone at one point.
I know it's a fault with the phone and not the sim, I'm just not sure what. I've tried my sim card in another DHD and it worked fine. I have also tried different o2 sim, an orange, vodaphone and T-mobile sim card in my phone – all of which give the same problem.
I’ve tried resorting the phone with a few different RUU’s, and even a German one just because it was o2 branded and I’m on contract with them:
- RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
- RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed

- RUU_Ace_O2_DE_1.32.207.1_Radio_12.28a.60.140e_26.03.02.08_M_release_153755_signed
I then re-rooted the phone with the use of Visionary+.
I’ve tried turning the radio off then back on, both by switching airplane mode and by using the hidden option *#*#4636#*#* and I’ve also tried re-flashing the radio and even a different more up-to-date radio:
- Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M (original)
- Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M
I’ve checked out the APN and it appears to be correct for o2.
I’ve done simpler things like restarting / powering off, removing the battery, re-seating the sim, re-seating the sdcard and booting without the sdcard!
All in all I’m running low on idea’s Could anyone please help or throw some idea’s at me, it would be very much appreciated!
Thank you.

Did you try on your phone pad to type *#06# in order to check your IMEI?Do it and check on your phone's box that they are the same

Double check your SIM card slot to see if its clear of any debris. Other than that, there is a definite fault. Was your handset originally branded?
Sounds like a blacklisted imei.

HTC HD2 with error connecting to the network problem
I have the same problem! I bought a phone from ebay "new" and I have not been able to connect to my network AT&T. The phone has android gingerbread 2.3.2 Nand, and I have tried everything in the book to see if I can connect to the network but to no avail. I have been going on forums for the last three days, and if anything, I just want to know what is wrong with the phone. My sim works on other phones fine. There is enough signal in the area (ive always had signal where I live), and tried resetting, taking the battery off, flashing different roms, even went back to Winmo and nothing has worked yet. My IMEI on the phone was different from the one the box, but was the same on the phone as on the inside IMEI.
WHat the heck is going on? Please ideas or help!

Thanks for the quick replies...

Tried clearing the slot, there is no visible signs of blockage... also I bought the handset second hand - I've never seen any branding however when I bought it the previous owner did tell me it was previously locked to vodaphone and he had rooted it so that he could use other sims cards. Which is why I orginally tried a vodaphone sim card too.
Thanks for your suggestions so far guys
Just a quick update, I've been grasping at straws and I've also tried a few more bits below, none of which have worked... I think I may have to leave this one to rest. Just wanted to let others know who may be experiencing the same issues

Replacing the mtd0.img as mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
It sounds like a fault. If it was network barred you would still receive a signal, for emergency calls. Can you return the handset to HTC for a warranty repair?

I still get a message on the lock screen saying Emergency Calls only - although admittedly I haven't tried calling the emergency services to check if it gets through.
Not being the original in-store purchaser I don't even know the age of the phone but I'm guessing probably over the 12 month warranty period, sod's law - I'll give them a ring and see what they say

My DHD was from the first batch and is still covered by warranty. How did you check to see if the IMEI was blocked?
I had a similar problem to this one. My mobile data connection gave out after my DHD's temp reached about 38 degrees while playing with it in the sun. A little while later I lost coverage completely, same as you. I tried everything, flashing ruus and re-rooting, re-s-offing, everything. Ten different ROMs, radios, kernels etc.
Eventually I gave up, figuring I had confirmed it was a hardware issue, and popped my sim in my old nokia so I had a usable phone and to get on with my life after wasting so many hours. I left the DHD with the battery removed, and ended up not coming home for a couple of days.
When I got home and decided to start playing around with the DHD again to see if I could get it working properly, I noticed the issues were gone.. I've tried to reproduce this problem out of curiosity, leaving the led light on high for a while, making the phone hot. Nothing. Since then I've flashed everything imaginable, and I've switched back and forth between two radios all week. No problems.
Strange, I'm guessing I have some form of hardware damage, but everything is running smoothly now at 1,5 GHz - no unstability of any kind.
I have done that actually! I took the battery off, and put the phone back in the box just to get on with my life. I left it sitting for a day and a half I guess, and I came back BUT unfortunately, unlike you, the problem is still there. The phone tries to look for signal, but it can't connect to the network. It does find the network and identifies it by name, but does NOT connect to it.
Sounds like a hardware fault Bob - Give it back to Rob!
or try and get HTC to fix if still in warranty?
Thanks! I thought so, too!
Hey did you solve problem?
I have had that emergency calls for 2 day,s i am waiting only. Please help.
If you find that your GPRS data connection connects but you have no GSM signal do the following
*#*#4636#*#* choose radio off and then radio on, be sure to be in a location with a STRONG GSM Signal and your phone should connect. I have had the same issue with my Desire HD and have been surviving with this workaround as nobody else seemed to know
Stiill same :S Selected networkd unavailable error
Try changing sim, or it sounds like blacklisted IMEI.
But my sim works on other phones and other sim cards work on my Huawei?
I was reading through this hoping desperately that somebody had found a solution. I had switched to Cyanogenmod recently but had GPS issues, so I tried flashing a new radio and RIL. Now I can't make any calls/texts, etc. as described here.
Tried several other radios/RILs, tried nandroid restore, tried flashing whole new ROM (LeeDroid). Still the same issue. Tried the *# codes listed here, no luck.
Please let me know if anybody has solved this one. I really don't need a paperweight right now...

Help getting XT1575 working again while in Japan. Please!

I'm in Japan for a couple of weeks for work and signed up for the Japan pack that Sprint offers. I spent almost an entire week working with Sprint support ( ) trying to get data roaming working properly on the phone without much luck (voice and text worked great), but yesterday I lost all connectivity but wifi. Figuring I must have changed something I shouldn't have, I saved everything I could and did a hard reset on the phone.
It still won't connect to any networks. I've re-downloaded PRL and device configs over wifi in the settings but it doesn't even attempt to connect to any wireless networks, or see any for that matter.
I have 2 guesses here but I'd like some kind of confirmation here before I take any action.
1: Maybe my radio firmware is corrupted somehow? I'm not exactly sure how to check it but it just doesn't seem to be doing much of anything. In the SIM status page it says searching for network, but I have no way to know if that's really the case.
2: Since the phone has a Sprint SIM, does it has to be on an actual Sprint network to initialize the networks? (Not Softbank's network here in Japan?) I spent over an hour on Google Voice with them last night trying to get an answer/help but got absolutely nowhere.
The phone is currently all stock but I have no problem unlocking and installing recoveries/software/roms if need be. Any ideas what I can do here or am I just stuck without communication until I get home next week?
Usually the best route is to get a local prepaid sim while traveling but honestly I have no idea what sprint offers for roaming in Japan. Check your plan and see if there is an add on needed.
I'm not alone!
Also THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE!
It worked fine for me last time I came to Japan, about a year ago. This time, I only have voice and text, no data. Right now I'm backing everything up to do a factory reset.
Did you ever find a solution to this?
I'm not sure if you've already done your factory reset, but if you're on Sprint, don't do a reset. The phone can't reactivate itself off of Sprint towers. You have to be in the US when you do the reset. I was stuck with WiFi only for most of my time there because I reset mine.
I never found a solution other than dropping Sprint when I got back to the states. Switched to Verizon and never looked back, though I'm not sure what I'm going to do for my next trip with their ridiculous international rates.
I actually got it working last night.
Factory reset and restore over wifi
Update device config over wifi -> handles activation
Update PRL over wifi 3 times
Now it works
Oh, I'm glad it worked. Is yours on Sprint?
Yes, but I may have spoken too soon. It worked for a few hours and now isn't getting back on data. I think it may be SIM related, since I saw a weird SIM error pop up and rebooted my phone, which led to the data working the first time
They must have redone their activation system since I had my issue in July. At that time there was no way for the phone to reactivate without being on Sprint's system.
As far as the data, that's the same thing I had happen and they were never able to solve the problem. It would work for a little while then stop for no reason. If you find a solution I'd love to hear it though.
I'm wondering if I can flash a different radio or something
