Was given a SPV M700 with WM6 (Rom version 2.0.8.1), GPS and WiFi working great but not the phone - cannot get a connection and I have tried different working Sim cards! Do I reflash with a new WM6 rom (which is recommended?) or just with a Radio Rom (current version 1.46.00.11) . Oh, I have checked the IMEI and that is not blocked. I don't mind having a go at reflashing as I also have a workiing HTC P3600. Never done this work so any help appreciated.
M700 not working
I have flashed the "phone" with a new radio rom but still getting the message that it cannot register to any of my selected networks. Next step, I guess, is to try a completely new rom. Any one got any ideas why the "phone" is not registering? **Update** Have tried two different 6.1 roms this morning and still can't get the phone to register with any networks????
Replying to myself, I know.. Latest situation is that latest Radio rom and decent WM 6.1 rom installed. I have inserted a Virgin Sim Card from another working phone and it shows a UMTS T-Mobile UK connection and even the 3G icon. However, when I try to dial out, it immediatly drops the line and if I try calling the phone I get the message that "calls are not currebtly being connected to ths number". ****Any clues****
is the virgin sim new have you used it before ie is it active?
and the phone is not set to flight mode silly i know but my girl put my phone in flight mode and it took me a few hours trying to find out why i was not able to make a call but i only had the phone a few days and did nt knw it had a flight mode.
if its not some thing like that then not sure what else to look at sorry cant be more help
Did the phone ever work? You mention that you got it, did it work for that person?
what provider did he use?
Is it locked?
did you try to cid unlock it?
Ok, this is a weird one.
Info: My HTC 8125 G4 is Sim Unlocked, and I'm running WM 6.5 iPhone Killer. I've had 3-4 different platforms from WM 5.1 to 6.0, to 6.5 loaded, including Android. The platform doesn't seem to be the issue.
I recently got a prepaid phone from ATsT (<- Joke) and want to use the sim in the Wzrd. It comes back sim unknown, and the sim manager won't read it. Even tried my wife's expired cingular sim, and it seems to read it fine.
It jumps onto the cingular tower, gets a signal, then drops, every maybe 5 seconds. it won't take incoming, or outgoing calls.
Should I clone the IEMI from the pre-paid phone, or what should I do to get the sim to work in it? I'm clueless on this.
No takes?
No takes? Nobody knows?
EDIT: Could it be the Radio ROM? I had 2.19.something UK, which I "downgraded to", then I flashed it back up to 2.25.11. Still no luck.
Should I try a different Radio ROM?
I would appreciate the smallest advice.
Ok so since nobody wishes to answer in direct rom forums, I'm going to ask my question here. I was very successful with Android as that's easy. Installing WP7 was also a breeze and the whole unlock thing cool. Problem is no matter what WP7 rom I try I always have an "Invalid Sim" error emergency call only. I am in canada with my provider being WIND mobile. Am I correct in saying that windmobile sims just dont work with windows mobile? or is anyone else having the same issue or is there a fix for this. All i am asking for is a simple "proper" response without the flaming. I've searched. I'm not new to xda but i am new to wp7. thank you
WOW Ok..
Can you borrow a different carriers SIM (from friends / family / colleagues) to test with, see if that works? That would help to understand if it is your SIM or the install of WP7. TBH it does sound like it is the SIM that is at issue.
edit: I just checked and the HTC connection setup app (from the market) does list both Canada and WIND, try it
Hey first of all thanks for a response. I'm also thinking it's not the sim (i'll try my wife's rogers sim card when she gets in from work.) because it works perfect with winmo 6.5 and Android without issue. I tried 3 WP7 roms and none worked with the sim..which boggles me
OK so after using my wife's rogers sim card it worked perfectly so it IS the wind mobile card that is not compatible with wp7. I guess i need to find a way to make it compatible if there is one.
I've gotten sim errors on my real hd7. To fix it, I have pulled the battery and reseated the sim. You might try to get a new sim from your carrier, just tell them your old one is acting up.
Tried that a few times and figure it may just be my SIM period although it's strange that it works without error with the android roms. But yeah imma go into Wind and grab a replacement and see how that goes

Did a new SIM help you, or did you do anything else?
After I have entered my PIN my sim is working fine, but after some time it says Invalid SIM.
/Regards Lars
I think it's an issue with the Roms. I think there are a lot of people getting the invalid sim error. I use the BlackSideSeven rom and I've seen several posts about it in the thread. There are also several other threads started about possible fixes and stuff.
Here's a link.
The easiest way to resolve is to turn on airplane mode and then switch it off. It doesn't stop it from happening, but at least you don't need to reboot.
Error in Android as well
I am having the same problem with MDJ Froyo 2.2. When I reboot into winmo 6.5 great signal all fine. I did notice that the simm card did move in the slot possibly bad connection. Now that I reseated the Simm all is fine. I also just read about antenna issue with the HD2 going to open and fix it to see if that helps.
hello friends, ask you about a strange problem.
i've bought a hd2 t mobile from USA ebayer, unlocked and with WINDOWS PHONE 7. I put my Italian SIM (vodafone italy) and notice that i can't use it. call seller and he wrote me unlock code. don't remember if after this i have tried to call, or if have seen the signal strenght, but i have changed to android. the seller used magldr 1.10, but i experienced that with this version the system had restart and restant such as looping mode. so i've found magldr 1.13, and this one permits to android to start.
Now everything runs well, except i can't call. the phone runs, because i can do emergency calls, and with another SIM, 3G italy, an UMTS provider, in some places i can use it normally. but is very poor signal, the most is absent. when i put inside Vodafone SIM i have no signal at all. Close to this i have italian LEgend HTC with Another Vodafone SIM and Full signal. if i ask to find network, even with vodafone, he finds only 3G.
If this problem come from bad unlocking, s there something to do to solve it? i though to try to unlock it againm but now it doesn't ask me for code. so what to do? lock it and unlock again? is possible?
another problem: with phone there is a 16 gb Sd card. i see only 200 mb, before i thought was damaged, but trying to reinstall wP7, i have read on a site that is WP7 that format 200 mb for working. now, how can i do to take back the entire 16 gb of space?

If I were you I'd flash back to the Stock TMOUS ROM and make sure the phone is mechanically sound before doing any more software installs. If the phone doesn't work from a stock ROM, then the device is defective. You have too many variables that could be causing the problems. Get back to stock and then add one thing at a time to your device.
EDIT: An unlock code should work regardless of what you do with the phone, so I don't think that is the issue.
Ok first off what radio version do you have on the HD2 as this might be your reception problem. Certain radio versions work better in certain areas but the latest version 2.15.50.14 seems to work well for everyone. TO flash a different radio version to your HD2 go to "[RADIO] The HTC HD2 Master Radio Thread" and download the radio version you want to use, you may want to try several different ones until you find one that works for you. If you have the international HD2 with 512MB ram you can flash any radio version. If you have the TMOUS HD2 you can only flash radio versions2.06.50.xx and up, do not flash a 2.04.50.xx, 2.05.50.xx, or any x.xx.51.xx tradio version to a TMOUS as it will brick the phone. If you have all whit external buttons at the bottom of the HD2 you have a international model, if you have a green send button and a red end button it is a TMOUS. Put your HD2 into the multicolor bootloader screen by holding the volume down button down while powering on, connect your HD2 via USB and wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader to change to USB then flash the radio.
To get your full 16GB back on your memory card you will have to reformat it cause WP7 puts a funky format on the SD card as it uses the SD card as the internal memory. The easiest way to do this is to get a SD card adapter and put your SD card in it then stick it in a digital camera and format it with the camera then format it with your computer using fat 32, this will give you your full 16GBs back.
thank you both for help. i have already tried to go back to original rom and windows 6.5 for Tmous. no way. but it can call, emergency call runs and with a 3G SIM i can call. the seller said he unlocked hd2 in USA before sending me, i had to unlock it again wit my sim. so there is something strange. seems it has a low signal power, and refuse GSM signal. tomorrw i will take it in a lab for testing of signal. then i will wite here again.

Are you saying you could not flash it back to stock, or that after the flash it appears to be still locked?
i flashed back, removed Hspl, putting a rom on SD and renaming leoimg.***.
then i have installed an original win 6.5 rom.
the same i've done today again, only with a rom for win 6,5.
notice: in win 6,5 the IMEI was longer, finished with a 01 more than other view from android doing *#06#- may be is not important.
the only way to see a carrier working is to put 3G sim and the correct APN.

Ok someone correct me if I am wrong please as I am going on what I consider to be basic knowledge of both subjects here. But the APN settings are basically just for your data/internet connection to work properly with the carrier you have as you have to access their servers to go online.The radio is what is in control of voice communication along with the phone hardware. The hardware also has control over the data connection to but it is more to the extent if you can use 2G, 3G, or 4G. So in summary if you are having voice problems change your radio version, if you are having data connection trouble check your APN settings.
hardware
thank yo for your help.
i have took back the phone from LAB.
no way, there is a hardware damage, due, may be, to transport from USA to Italy. the involved side is in reception, the chip is damaged due to accidental shock, and has a very low activity. only where the signal is full, the damaged filter let it work, but it's always a strange way to do it, totally full signal and no signal in a few seconds. T.Mobile is not supported by european HTC, so i must send back the phone in USA
Hello I am experiencing a BIG problem . I Successfully flashed a Nand rom to my phone last year it worked great but after some shortcomings I could no longer afford my pay as you go plan. My phone service had been cut off for about 7 months until yesterday, since it was off so long I had to get a new Tmobile(us) account/SIM card. My phone booted up in android as normal with full 3G service bars but when I went to make a call it said "This Carrier will not allow phone calls to this number" shocked I went back to Tmobile to make sure my account was active and it was. My text also do not work and I cannot sign into my gmail account either. Ive searched the web and it does not seem that anyone has a solution to this problem PLEASE help me !!
Did you try reflashing it?
There are a few things that could be going on here:
1. tmobile has you on the wrong data plan which has happened to me in the past. The had me on a blackberry plan which messed up a lot but you should still be able to make calls.
2. You have a balance left over on that phone and tmobile has locked that phone
3. you need a new sim card. tmobile will gladly change out your sim for a new one for free
4: something is going on with Android on your phone.
I would talk to Tmobile again and ask for a new sim or go in the store and see if the sim you have will work in one of their phones. If it does then you know its
something with your phone. I would kind of start over just to clear up any problems. Start with making a back up of anything you dont want lost, including your
sd card. Then repartition your phone/sd to what the ROM you want to use needs. Reinstall MAGLDR and cwm and finally the ROM you want to use. See if that
helps at all. If i had to take a guess it could be something as simple as the simcard is messed up but without having them try it in another phone or you trying
it in another phone you wont know for sure. I know it seems like a lot but reinstalling this stuff should clear up if its your phone or your sim thats messing up.
Before you blame Android, flash your phone with stock WM 6.5 rom. If you still can't make calls or get any data, take the phone to a T-Mobile store and have them figure it out.
