Hi I've done every possible guide to unlock my hermes ive got a virgin payg sim im running manila v16 rom and radio 1.56. There is signal on the bar and the hermes recognises the net work but when i try to make a call it ends straight away.
any links to a better guide or a simple solution
help please cheers shane
oh and ive done sim cid unlock
If you bought it 2nd hand theres a chance it was stolen, or there have been unpaid bills, cotract has been broken and IMEI has been blocked. You won't be able to call...
Otherwise, check your radio version, its in your settings. If its not there then it means you need to reflash your STOCK Radio ROM. This might fix it or might not, though as you've said you have signal its more likely that the phone IMEI has been blocked.
Please help me, my Dopod 838 Pro has No GSM!

I have a Qtek 9100 that worked great as a Vodaphone product and then great with a Virgin SIM. With my new Orange SIM I can make and receive calls but keep getting the error message ""The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again" when I try and access the Phone settings. I also notice that I cannot send or receive text messages.
Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
You might wanna either flash the device with the ORANGE ROM or at least install the ORANGE EXTENDED ROM. Seams like the Orange network requires special settings ...
Did you ever get this working? I have exactly the same issue and not working so far!
Just to update
tried official 02 roms in Windows Mobile 5
-- I can use GPRS / Phone.
However I can't go into Settings as says Phone is not ready,wait 15 seoncds and try again. However if I remove orange sim and put in Virgin one then it is fine.
I have updated to newer radio 2.40.11 and such but still does not work.
Does anyone have any ideas? Orange wants me to buy a M3100 as that will be compatible!
My problem fixed
Folks
I followed the following instructions and it sorted me completely - this proved a great posting for me but obviously I can't be sure you have exactly the same problem or same type of Qtek 9100:

Hi thanks for the reply.
I have a 02 Mini S G3 model so I'm not sure if I can flash a G4 radio rom over it?
I have tried the O2 Radio 2.07, T-mobile 2.19 and 2.40 radio for G3 so far without any solution.
Just got back from work, looked through the post and spent some time researching to make sure Wizard_love was safe (better safe than sorry!) and flashed it. It worked AOK so a big thank you jt142.
ok, this is what happened. please bear with me since It's my first time to unlock my AT&T 8525 using the micro sd card. I used the method on this website on how to unlock the 8525. when I successfully unlock it at first 10 minutes it did work after I input the simcard then after 1hr the signal bar lost and say " ! " next to the signal sign, and I did the soft, hard reset and still came out the same thing and now my AT&T not letting my simcard work Please any help and advise that I can do to reverse this problem. I don't know if I did wrong on the procedure on how to unlock the AT&T 8525 using the micro sd card. Please help I paid this for $250 and will just be no use for it if I can call or text. Everything else are useful except I cannot call or receive call from someone after I unlock it. thank you
Please any one can help me please, my AT&T 8525 is not accepting calls or out going calls at all. after I did the unlocking process. please...please...please any one can give me a original ROM for AT&T so I can patch it back and can you please let me know how to to this patching. thank you aLL

I read about some of the issue here and people haven't found a solution yet. Any senior member can help me please this is what happened after I did the unlocking please help...
Thank you for your reply
i don't know how to fix that problem, but you should try to unlock it again. http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
try this site. download the file and do what it says. I unlocked my phone through this and it worked great for me.
Hey guys, please excuse my noobness, I have read thoroughly but I am still confused!
I have an O2 Orbit (ie Artemis) and I am going to the USA soon.
I've become a bit confused as to what I need to do to my Artemis to get it working with a prepay sim in the states.
I've seen the posts about cid unlocking, but I'm not sure if that's the same as a sim unlock, and I don't want to brick my phone!
I'm not too bothered about cooked roms etc, I have updated to WM6 and I'm reasonably happy with it, I just want to be able to use my phone in the USA.
Would someone be kind enough to take the time to explain what I need to do?
Thanks
I forgot to add, I tried this tutorial to perform a sim unlock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400445
but unfortunately the 'artemis sim unlock' download link is broken
I think it should already work in the US. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that only phones bought in the US from a provider are SIM-locked. CID unlocking is only used to help you flash your phone to a different ROM, which, as you already mentioned, you are not interested in doing.
I see, so CID unlocking is nothing to do with what I want, I simply need a SIM unlock, assuming my phone is SIM locked.
SIM locking is normal practice for UK service providers, so I assume it is locked.
Is there any way I can tell if my phone is SIM locked, or do I have to test it by putting a SIM card from a different provider in it?
Hi

You could always put your phone into bootloader and flash a radio
How can i do that
how can i know wich radio do i need
You flash a radio the same way you would flash a rom. First of all you need USPL or HSPL on your device. I recommend you read these threads for guidance:
Dummies guide for flashing using USPL or HSPL
1.14.25.24 & Rilphone.dll radio thread
Blackstone Radio Flashing (wiki)
Available Blackstone Radios
I would start with radio 1.14.25.24 as this is latest blackstone radio
It doesnt work yet
please i need you to recommend me a rom to use
can i use the officil one from htc website?
and what else i can try to make my phone work again1

You have a vast choice of roms to use, either stock roms direct from HTC site or from the wiki here or cooked roms from this forum
Would be impossible for me to recommend one as everyone is different and your tastes may well be different from mine. Also you have different windows versions, i.e. wm6.1 & wm6.5. All I can say is try a few and make your own conclusions. At present I am currently using Throys WM6.5 R9 rom
I changed the rom and the radio still dont get signal
NO SERVICE!

You may find that the phone is stolen and phone networks have blocked the IMEI Number this maybe why you donot have any reception
Try asking your Network phone company if this phone is blocked
I Already call and no its not blocked by imei

Hello everyone!
i have one t-mobile branded firmware htc hd2 which i bought it from and uk based ebay seller..its unlock..and i can recieve and make calls..
but im not able to use internet on the phone bcos it has settings for t-mobile network..
and i also tried to upgrade it through htc website but whenever im trying it says these updates are not for this serial number...
kindly help me in debranding my phone so that i can use this in australia with full functions..thanks a lot in advance..
trust me that would be a great help from you.
If this is a UK T-Mob HD, then its a contract phone and seems strange that it is up for sale so soon. Unless it has been stolen - I don't think we should help with stolen phones, unless you're willing to gvie me the IMEI number so I can check here with T-Mob.

Hi ABBABY,
i don´t understand your problem. Use either SPSL or HPSL (guarantee issues) and try the image you like.

Im not exactly sure if you want help making your internet work with your sim, or if you want help taking the tmobile rom off and putting a stock or custom one on..
If you just want help with internet settings then download the attached file and install on your phone. Then run the connection setup program in the start menu, connections screen and it should set up your internet and mms settings for the network you select (if its available).
If you want to put a custom rom on your device then follow my flashing a leo rom for noobs link in my signature to install HardSPL and then you can flash any of the roms in the rom development section to take off the tmobile branding and give you whatever you want.

What network are you trying to use it with?
I'm not too sure if you can change the connection settings easy on the T-Mobile ROM, I'd recommend flashing with the HTC unbranded ROM and then you can just select your service provider and it all works sweet.

I work for T-mobile and the only way you can change these settings is indeed to change to HTC unbranded ROM or any other ROM of your choice.

You must have flashed one of the TMobile Test Roms during your travels, which has that splash screen on it. Custom Roms dont include a splash screen so it wont be overwritten when flashing other roms afterwards.
Download the attachment and unzip to a folder on your pc. Sync using your usb cable and run the included customruu.exe file to flash back the original htc splash screen.
