Hey all, so I saw the new MT4G rom leaked so my friend decides to extract t-mo tv and we both have it now. It said I have 29 days left in my trial so I decided to unsubscribe to see if I could re-subscribe. Of course I wasn't able to again unless I paid, so I tried to uninstall/reinstall, but that didn't work. Do I have to reflash my android rom in order for the free trial to even appear?
Sorry for the long post.

So I got my new phone yesterday and decided that I might as well activate the new SIM that came with it, since mine in almost 4 years old, and I didn't upgrade it the last time I got a phone from them.
Well here we are 16 hours later & my phone will still not connect to the network, and my old SIM and been disconnected. So I have no way of making or recieving calls. Before I activated it I tried my old SIM in the 8125 and it worked fine Even without installing any of the Cingular Extended ROMs.
I guess I will have to go into a store latter this afternon and have them work it out.
Also when I went to install ActiveSync It wouldn't let me because I didn't have all of the service packs installed in XP. (I am using an early edition, and keep the updates turned off) so it took 2 hours of downloading and installing updates before I could even sync.
On the up side, I was able to CID unlock it and upgraded to the custom ROM that summiter posted, Installed Reg Wizard, Total Comander, and Weather to Go. I am also able to use WiFi at home.
Next things to do are Get the dam thing on the network, then install a VoIP client so I can use my Broadvoice VoIP on it. then decide on a GPS program and get that going.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks to all of you for giving so much info & Help.
I wouldn't change any thing to do with CID unlocking or the ROM till they fix it. You could end up in one of those situations
You: "it wont make calls."
Them: "you changed the ROM (unlocked cid), that's why it don't work."
You: "Id didn't work before I did that."
Them: "Well it voids your warranty."
You: "but..."
Them: "Bend over, we're drivin'!"
Later; Lew

The problem was the SIM card they sent me was bad, I went and got a new one and it works great now.
Hello,
I just bought a used qtek 9100 two weeks ago and am now starting to have problems. The previous owner installed windows mobile 6 underground edition, as well as some other updates. Currently the phone is freezing almost once a day, in which I have to take the battery out to reboot. If anyone can help me any suggestions would be greatly apptrietiated. I thought about trying to go back to the original wm5 or upgrading to wm6 does anyone know if that would work?
Thanks for any and all help

Have you tried doing a hard reset and then load it back up with your apps? This might clear a bad registry issue. Also the problem could be a 3rd party app that doesn't work well on WM6.
I would suggest you do move back to an original rom if you are having problems. Then you can look at playing with custom roms later when you get a feel for the device. Key thing is you want to get it stable.
Read the following on how to Flash roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Since you are already running a WM6, its likely (if this is a G3) that you are CID Unlocked already (if you are a G4 than its likely you are not CID Unlocked).
You could try a newer WM6 (like XPlore 2.0 or Faria Vanilla from his kitchen) both of which are found in the Wizard WM6 board located here. But I think I'd recommend you just go back to the official carrier rom first.
Thank you
When you say to go back to the original software, where can I get that? I came accross a update on the t-mobile site that said it would remove all data stored on device, is this what you are talking about? I would hate to do something to make this phone incapacitated.
Also has anyone seen the windows mobile vista for a ppc? Does anyone know where to get it? Once I fixe this problem I would like to upgrade to that, unless there is something wrong with it.
Thanks for all your help

On PPC devices, if you flash a new rom (upgrade, downgrade) it wipes everything on the phone in memory. Sorry but no way around that. After doing it a few times you learn what to keep on your SD card, and you get pretty good at reinstalling stuff fairly quickly (but even then, I plan on about 2 hours of downtime when I'm going to flash my phone. About 15 mins to get some backups (so I can get back to where I was if the new rom doesn't work out), 30 mins to flash an official rom and flash the new rom, reflash the radio to the one I want. Then a good hour to set all of my apps back up (that part of the time is getting shorter).

There is no Mobile Vista. There is WIndows Mobile 6 and there are Vista style themes for it (heck there are Vista themes for WM5 for that matter).
So back to your original issue... You need to plan on wiping this device one way or another due to the current issues you are having (IMO). So if you want to stay with the Underground version of WM6, then just do a Hard Reset, and then set the phone back up. Otherwise, you need to look at getting the original rom for yoru phone (you can find these on the carrier's websites usually in the support/downloads area) or upgrading to some other custom rom.
Again, read the thread I gave you previously. You really need to read up on how this stuff works before you just start looking at flashing a new rom (official roms are pretty straight forward if you stay with the rom meant for your phone).
Now a different problem
OK, now im trying to get the phone back to the original settings from the company, but am having difficulty. I ran the update from t-mobile and it keeps saying there is a communication error. Im not sure if the previous owner had t-mobile or what carrier he used does this matter?
is there a way to un-grade the phone without a pc?
Im really having a hard time with this, ive been trying for around 4 hours to fix this issue without luck, someone please help im about to start using heavy drugs. Not really but you get the gist of it.
Thanks
I opened a support ticket with Vodafone UK about the annoying email sending and HSDPA problems that my HTC TyTN II has demonstrated since I 'upgraded' it to WM 6.1. Here's the response:
---<starts>---
Thanks for your e-mail about your TyTn 11/V1615 and problems since updating your firmware from 6.0 to 6.1.
I've been speaking with our technical experts today for some more info for you. I'm told that they are aware of various issues with the 6.1 windows software for this phone and unfortunately until a newer software version is available you will have these issues with the 6.1 version. It's unlikely they'd spend more money redeveloping the 6.1 software problems as they may already be looking towards developing the next version.
The only option they can give is to delete the newer version and find the old version to download again instead. We understand this isn't ideal but at the moment its' the only solution to these issues.
If there's anything else I can do for you, let me know, I'll be glad to do all that I can to help.
---<ends>---
That's a lot of help - not. They might at least have provided a page with a link to go back to 6.0...
Well you ...
You should trying to get support from Vodafone in The Netherlands , where I am an ex-pat. Got this damn thing last Tuesday (7 working days ago) and because I got my deal through the web shop, the one in my area won't help.
My problem is, when I took to the main shop in Rotterdam to get it changed to English version...great took the techie 5 mins to flash it . Yeah!!!
When I get back home, 1 hours drive but 2 at peak traffic time (which is all the F#####G time here, I fire it up go to GPRS authentification...nothing on screen, silch, nada, nothing
So sorry to piggy back your thread M8, but any help for this on this forum?
I bought hd2 from ebay 2 weeks back and it is currently locked with T-mobile. I tried unlocking code from few sites but all returned my money, is there something changed? Can somebody sugest some where can get the code
Thanks

for most new phones now, the networks are the only ones that have the unlock codes.
what you will have to do, is get a free t-mobile pay as you go sim card and put it in the phone. dial 150 and speak to someone in tech support. say to them that your friend had the phone, but has since upgraded and got a new phone, and has given you the hd2, but you have a contract with another network so you need an unlock code for it. there may be a £15-£25 charge for it, but they should supply you with one. you will need either £20 credit or a debit card (they wont take payment from a credit card or any other source) for the payment, a valid email address that you check regulary and the phones imei number (printed on the sticker under the battery or dial *#06#). whatever you do DO NOT mention ebay!! phone networks do not like you buying phones from ebay and may give you some bs excuse as to why they cant give you an unlock code. they should email you the code within 14 working days. they may be able to tell you over the phone or they may post it to you in a letter, so be prepared for that as well
after you have unlocked the phone, you will need to debrand it. to do this, install hspl3 on the phone then install either the generic htc roms (or of you can find it, the rom from the network you are on), or one of the many custom roms available. also have a look at updating the radio rom. then its just a case of getting the operator settings either by opening the comm manager, tapping the data connection icon (the left hand icon next to the words 'data connection') and choosing your network from the list, or contacting your network and asking for the settings. it may be worth updating your connection database (in the connection setup, tap menu>update database>select update the latest settings of all operators>then tap the update database button) this ensures you are using the latest settings and will also add any new networks to the list.
i would avoid 3rd party unlocking sites/shops, as they way to unlock new phones is often related to imei, and the codes cant be generated yet, so the networks are the only option
hope this answers your question
the above process is for the UK btw, not sure if its any different for other countries
got mine unlocked in 25 minutes this morning, mines less thena month old, cost $26, just message blowfish06 on ebay and tell him you want an unlock from the new database, he will bill your paypall and you should be all set by tommarow (or by this morning if its already past 12 were u live), cheers
Thanks for suggestions guys
Ill try ebay guy first if that didn't work then i'll buy the t-mobile prepaid card

if you install any generic rom onto a tmous it will permanently kill it, so although the advice is sound for regular hd2, DO NOT follow that advice if you have a tmous.

Brilliant advice. 30mins for mine and only £5.45. So wish I knew about him 3 weeks ago when I asked T-mobile to unlock my G1. £15 and still waiting.
Never mentioned the new database to him for mine.
I was wondering if anyone can help me.
I recently flashed my phone which I have done many times. I then installed beautiful widgets from a apk off the net. Once I had decided I likes the software I deinstalled it and ever since I have been unable to get network service on my wildfire.
Whenever I try and connect to a network I get:
'Unable to connect to this network at this time please try later'
I am currently on baseband version 13.53.55.24H_3.35.149.25 but I have also flashed later radios and still have the problem.
I have also checked the phone information settings and radio is turned on so unsure where to go from here.
The phone is also unlocked to any network but I have tried a Orange, Virgin and Vodaphone chip and none work.
Cheers for any help ;-)
i was in touch with beautiful widgets developer a few weeks ago, and he mentioned there were 13 different pirated versions that they were aware of, and they were having troubles with them. the first thing he wanted was my google checkout receipt number, i wonder if you have picked up a virus somehow, with a malicious copy.
have you tried restoring a nandroid backup?
Hi
Yes I ran a nandroid restore and I still have the problem. I have also been into the phone's testing menu, phone information and it wont let me select radio band just comes back Set{Automatic] Unsuccessful ;-(
Tried numerous Roms and still the issue.
Will I have to totally flatten phone to get this working?
cheers
Have you checked your apn settings?
I have checked the APN section and I have one for orange internet and one for Orange MMS. I have looked through these settings and everything is blank except when I get to the MCC section.
One thing I have noticed is when In restore or use a new ROM I still have my details for Wireless setup etc so is it really doing a full wipe of settings?
Cheers guys
I have just spoken to Orange and they have informed me that the phone has been blacklisted hence no service. I have had this phone for over 6 months and now they decide to blacklist it even though I paid good money for it and it wasnt stolen...Nice!!!!!
Thanks for your help anyway guys much appreciated
why has it been blacklisted, and how?
The phone has been blacklisted by Virgin as stolen just recently even though I bought the phone over 5 months ago with original Virgin Chip, booklets etc. I have spoke to Orange (my own network) as the original owner is obviously trying to maker a claim which is indeed false.
I am in process of writing a letter to virgin explaining my predicament but I dont expect anything positive of the outcome. Last time I buy anything of a Forum all my own mistake to be fair!!!
Bought a Samsung I5800 just get me back up and running as the wildfire is now just sat at home awaiting to hear what Virgin say as I may sell it as parts.
cheers guys ;-)
