Guys, I got a HUGE problem.
I got my new Qtek S100, magician the other day with:
WM2003SE
ROM Version: 1,11,00 WWE
Radio Version: 1,11,00
Protocol version: 1337,42
ExtROM Version: 1,11,133 WWE
Model NO: PM10A
The phone works great as a PDA....but I cant get any service at all!
1. I did try Itsme's unlock tool (not pinlocked SIM in it, that is, I unlocked the sim card, then tried it) it said that it unlocked the phone OK.
2. Tried to reinstall the ROM, no difference.
3. I went to Settings---Phone--Network
Tried to "Find Network" = Nothing
Tried "Set Networks" = Gives me this message;
"Unable to read setting from the network. Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again".
No USB or BT connection is established with a PC at the moment.
Please advise, and help!!
Thanks a bunch,
Monty
Sure you're not in flight mode?
V
Yeah Im not.
btw, vija as in vija who developed smart401?
Any other ideas by the way?
What country are you in? Sure you're using the right radio type/band/ROM?
V
Yeah, I downloaded the swedish Qtek ROM (yeah Im in Sweden alright)
However, I tested with a diff. simcard from a diff. provider, that one gets signal but I cant make any calls, they just end abruptly.
Again, I used the unlock tool from itsme, and my device is listed so I really dont know whats wrong...
your mini might be Blocked (not locked) by your provider.
the network won't allow your imei on the network and when you use the other sim (it should be using only high bands 1800/1900) so it can't set to lock the whole network system bec sms and radio transmit at different freq) so you can get signal, send and receive sms but can't make calls.
just try this to confirm, plug in the sim that can make sms and search networks, if you can see all the networks available then I think it is blocked.
this is only what I know after some research but I may be wrong, hope this give you some help
Hi,
Yeah, when I put in the other SIM card, and I search for networks, it finds all of them.
Thing is, its brand new, but I bought it from a private person from the Internet (from a similar site to Ebay) guess this one didn't come with a reciept eh
Guess it wont do to just change the IMEI # then? I read somewhere that you could change it. Oh well, guess I'll return it to the seller then and get a new one.....

very sorry, mistype in my previous post,
it should said CAN'T change IMEI
I have an O2 XDA mini s as its so called, and an Orange Sim (both UK)
Now I can make/receive calls fine, but when I try to send a message, or goto the "phone" option, I get the message below. Nor do any contacts from my sim show up.
"The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again"
Does anyone have some advice to resolve this as its pretty annoying!
I did try a search and got no results, so please forgive me if this is a topic that has been given the run around before.

Sounds like the simcard is dirty try taking it out and inserting again happens on probs every1 phone sometime.
Another option would be to go back to your cell provider and request they give you another SIM card
sounds like you might not be getting a strong enough signal to use the phone...or send out messages...consider flashing your radio rom to something higher (do a search for radio rom). radio rom flashing usually won't effect the os or ipl/spl...so you can keep all your existing settings. newer radios have more information on towers...so it has a chance to get a better signal...or at least that's what i've been told...
2.19.11 is common for cingular...but there's a post somewhere on changing something that will let you use higher radios with cingular without too many problems...personally, i'm messing around with 2.69.11 (t-mobile) and i haven't had any problems...
Tried cleaning the sim card to no avail.
As with regards to the radio rom, im sure thats the issue as i can make phone calls fine, so im getting a signal. It just seems accessing the sim card and texting is the issue
Its bugging me because its an awesome phone. Im wondering if its due to it being a different network branded phone to the sim card im using...

if that's the case, you may need to sim unlock your phone? but if you're making and receiving calls, you should be fine...
if the sim card is old, or the service provider was taken over...or something of that sort, maybe your sim card has a problem...something like this was a problem back in the US when cingular bought out at&t...the problem was resolved by consumers going to cingular to get a 64kb sim card rather than a traditional 32kb...perhaps something of that sort is happening there?
I suppose that is a possibility,
I will try using the unlocking tool, but im not sure it would be the sim as it is only 2 months old. I just didnt like the phone i got with the contract so bought this.
I will certainly try. I kinda wish i'd just bought the Orange version of the phone
Oz
@Ozington. If you can make calls, chances are your phone is already unlocked. Did you bought this phone 2nd-hand? The previous users may have done something to it. Soft reset your system and tell us all your stuff (especially the Radio/GSM displayed) displayed on the first boot screen.
Alternatively, if you want to avoid all O2 crap, hardreset your phone and during init setup, soft reset it (poke it) just after you have done your security settings. If it is not using official ROM (e.g. no O2 stuff around to be seen), make a guess on the ROM used, and you can also try upgrading an official ROM (safe to do so).
Hanmin,
The phone was bought from ebay, but was brand new sealed, all in o2 packaging, the seller stated it was unlocked. It was all factory packed and the seal wasnt broken..
The Device info is as follows:
Rom Version 2.21.4.1 WWE
Radio 02.07.10
Protocol 413.1.03
ExtROM 2.21.4.101
Does this mean anything?
Regards
Sam
I'm doubtful that it is factory sealed and unlocked. From the information you gave (although not those I've asked for), seems that your phone ROM is a bit, old. Go to O2 webpage and download an update for the ROM (I'm not sure, but I think they have an updated ROM).
To check your ROM version, tell me the battery icon on Today screen, is it on the top left or bottom left. Top left battery icon means it is AKU2, the updated version.
To throw a spanner in the works the battery icon is in the top right?
Thanks for your help. What info did i miss out? (Please bear in mind i have no idea what im doing with the more technical side of the phone!)
Regards
Sam
I briefly had this problem as well. In my case, I could also receive text messages, but still could not send. I changed OS's and it was fixed. The problem only seemed to happen with one of the new OS6 roms. It was intermittent, and even resetting the phone seemed to solve the problem occasionally and briefly. I have flashed my device too many times, but think it was the most recent Touchflo version that had the problem for me. I was using radio 2.69 Ipl/Spl 3.08. I hope this might help. Good luck.
Orange SIM & Unlocked T-Mobile MDA Vario
Hi Guys,
Just a quick note to say that I have a similar problem with my new Orange SIM.
All the GPRS works fine, calls send & receive OK, POP3 email works a treat but no text messaging and when I try Start > Settings > Personal > Phone .. I get "The phone is not ready. Wait 15 Seconds and try again"
I have no answers to this but from all the searching I have done over the past few days to try and find a cure this problem seems to be common to Orange SIM cards. All I can think of is that the Call Centre Message Number needs changing to get the txt messaging to work.
The phone has worked fine on other networks - no GPRS but text messaging & phone calls
Any advice gratefully received !!
Hi guys first poster so be nice
I've got the same problem but came from T-Mobile to Orange.
My IPL / SPL is 1.03 so I'm going to upload the newer versions on the fourm to my phone and see what happens tommrow. Havn't got the time at the moment but I'll post up how I get on.
Do you guys think this is a good approch to the problem I've got?
Hi Sasyboy
You posted just after me. I got my phone working great on Orange now. It has taken me 3 days !!
You'll have to be careful on how you do it. I just jumped in and it caused me a lot of work and time. and a long period where I thought it was bricked 'cos the bootloader screen stayed on and I lost all comms with the MDA
First make sure the CID is unlocked, you must read this:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
I wish I had. This may seem a long way of doing it, but you don't want an expensive paperweight do you ??
After you have unlocked the CID and updated everything as per the Dr P stickie (link above) and it is working, you then need to get the Wizard_Love ROM upgrade. I tried after doing all the Mr P instructions in the stickie but still kept getting the "Phone is not ready...." so I decided I then needed the Wizard_Love ROM upgrade. This took me ages to find, I tried to d/load it via uTorrent but only got 25% and then found it on a Russian website - anyway I have it now, and as I said you'll need it, PM me and I'll get it to you.
You will have to download several files and set half a day aside. If you are struggling PM me and I'll get the files to you as I have them now.
I just need to get the Ornge MMS settings right and then all is fine. GPRS, POP3 email, Internet, Txt messaging OK now, SIM manager works fine (didn't even have it before!) and can access all phone settings for call divert etc
Good luck. Any queries I may be able to help, but I'm no expert. I have spent hours looking at this forum and all the answers are there it is just getting them in the right order.
How do all,
Really happy I updated everything and now it all works fine. Thanks to the community. I love this phone and now with updates it's even cooler.
I upgraded to WM6 artemis touchflo ROM. Worked fine initially then I lost the network. Is constantly searching.
Try Find Network and just searching
Try change Network selection to manual and get following message:
Network error
Cannot read settings from the network, Try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again.
Retry Cancel
Get the same error if I try Set Networks.
Can anybody help please ?
Saw this on the HTC website today ''The TyTN becomes the first HTC device to get the upgrade, with the HTC P3300, S620 and Advantage also scheduled to receive the upgrade from August''
Have you tried doing a soft reset? (stylus in the hole)
I've tried soft reset, hard reset the lot. Still no joy
Can't think of any other good ideas off hand. Maybe try a reflash?
Why not try just re-flashing the radio first.

Thanx - re-flashed the radio but still the same problem. Is there anything else I can try please ?
I never thought I'd say this piece of CS crap, but have you checked the contact of the SIM card, try cleaning the SIM with a dry cloth.
Otherwise a re-flash of the ROM is probably the next best step.
Can you check the SIM works OK in a different phone?
Thanx - SIM works fine in another handset and have flashed back original T-Mobile ROM. Could it be anything to do with the WM6 ROM I used ?

Yes, If you desperately want Touchflo, then Tom's B&B 4 is imminent, his track record at ROM releases can't be faulted.
Sorry don't think my last post was very clear. Have flashed back to the original T-Mobile ROM and still same problem no networK
Oh! That's not good.
Sounds suspiciously like a hardware failure then.
Still under warranty?
Got it fixed under warranty by local T-Mobile store Thanx for your help and advice
what was the issue then, i am having the same issue with my orbit, and can not seem to find the problem? i reflashed all versions of the radios, and changed to all kinds of sims availabe on Rogers network in Canada, and the phone works fine from all features, except it does not conenct to the network??? when i do search the network, it reads all the towers available, but does not register on any network !!!
the first time i changed the sim worked like a charm for 30 min, and then the phone de-registrerd itself from the network, and i could not connect again. i could always get it to work for maybe an hour at the most everytime i change to a new sim card, but this is not a solution and a costy one
Hi all,
I've recently bought an HTC Legend from Virgin mobile, unlocked it, and now trying to get it to work on Rogers. After I unlocked it, I tested the phone by placing a call. It worked.
Then I got excited and decided to root it and load a custom ROM. I did not read the comments about the ROM and it turns out, the ROM changed my radio. When I go Network Operators on the phone it now says, "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".
The ROM I used was Rodriguezstyle MoDaCoMoDrOm V2.3
I thought I lucked out and found the Bell RUU from Shipped ROMs but that didn't help at all.
I got too excited when I first received the phone and didn't take down the radio info before I starting messing about, which was stupid on my part.
I am freaking out a little and not sure what else to do. I had asked a friend to bring this phone over from Calgary, AB for me because they don't sell them in Winnipeg, MB where I live so bringing it back to the retail outlet is going to be pretty difficult.
Please, please, please help me. I apologize in advance if I am posting in the wrong spot.
You may be able to return for "warranty" purposes. Just lie through your teeth
Or you can do it the hard way. Just flash all the radio that was released. Try one by one and you might hit the spot. Try 7.08.35.21.

Haha! I wish I could. The retail outlet where the phone was purchased is in another province and is about a day's drive. They don't sell the device in the city I live in.
...although I could give it a shot here and ask them to ship one over? I'll save that as a last resort

I think I might have to try this method. Do you know if there is a repository of all the radio released for the Legend?
I've flashed the radio suggested, 7.08.35.21, still nothing. I was reading in another thread that it could be my SIM card? Strange how I was able to place a call when the phone was first unlocked. ...but it IS about 3 years old.
I'm not sure what else to do. I just may have to plead with the retail stores here. Hopefully they can ship me a new one

Whoops! I meant the SIM card. Sorry about the mix up.
I just got off the phone with Rogers Tech Support to see if there was anything wrong with my SIM. He said that the symptoms I am having seemed similar to that of a locked device ("Error while searching for networks" and "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" when in Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile network > Network Operators).
He mentioned that by flashing a new ROM, that could have re-locked the device. Sounds strange to me but if this is true, how do I find out which carrier the device is now locked to? I am now running the rooted ROM found at the root tutorial TheUnlockr.com.
The phone is not prompting me with an unlock code input like it did the first time around. Is there a way to bring up that prompt again?
Please and thanks
Hi all,
I hope everyone had a great holiday.
A few updates:
- tried flashing different ROMs
- tried toggling radio and autosync
- tried flashing a new radio
- tried using stock Bell Mobility RUU
- contacted Rogers and got them to reset me on the network
Still nothing, not even voice. I've been obsessing over this and it's driving me a little nuts.
rajasyaitan has suggested flashing all the radios that were released until I hit something that worked. Is there a repository out there?
I don't know why, but it never occurred to me to ask for the stock Virgin Mobile Canada RUU until now. Does anyone have it lying around somewhere or knows where I can get my hands on it? I can't find it online anywhere. If not, is there a way to pull it from a phone that is running the stock ROM? I'm not sure if it is the same as the Bell Mobility one but I thought I should start from the very beginning.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Please my phone is having the same exact problem, it's not working! I'm with Virgin Mobile Canada and I cannot connect to my carrier telling me my SIM card is not allowing me to connect to them! Please someone help! I used this Rom called Stock Froyo ROM for the HTC Legend with Online Kitchen from Modaco.
And when I loaded it, it wouldn't let me access my settings and then I loaded my backed up Rom, and now I can't connect to my Mobile Carrier. (Virgin Mobile Canada) what should I do?
Just a thought here, but is it possible that the phone is SIM locked again? When you unlocked it, did you have to flash another radio FW? Did you try "unlocking" it again?
do you have the phone set to gsm only or something like that? should be set to wcdma only (for bell/virgin/telus)

Actually my phone is connected now, I had the same problem, I did something with the recovery before the problem was magically fixed, I went into recovery, and went down to "Backup/Restore" and I went to "Restore Google something sys..." (Restore NOT backup) and when it was done, my phone was working again, but I was on a different Rom other then the one that caused the trouble. That's what I did and it might have worked because of that I really don't know. And my phone is on "GSM/WCDMA auto", and it's connecting just fine.
just installed wp7 on my hd2 and after the start up my phone keeps searching for the network. have tried automatic network selection and tap to select but no luck. am using 2.15 radio. would appreciate any help.
goto your settings, scroll to cellular, then down to add apn, in the apn box type epc.tmobile.com and leave the rest blank.
this works with tmobile us
isn't that supposed to be only for the data connection? even without entering the apn the phone should be able to find the network for just making voice calls. so mine seems to be a different problem. the phone is simply unable to catch any signals.
from my understanding of the whole cell phone fiasco is the sim card has everything the phone needs to connect your providers tower and also tells your phone what services you have voice, data, etc etc, so it should setup voice automatically. i would try searching for the program (htc connection setup) they use to install the xml files it also sets your phone with the provider.
good luck.

Only search at the internet for your apn settings, enter them and voila you can use your data connection, nothing more nothing less and done in a minute. HTC Connection Setup don't work well but you have to use it later if you want to change phone type to HD7 for the Marketplace ^^)

yeah we covered that part, the concern is that the phone is/was not connecting to the towers
Maybe check out other Radio ROM. 2.15 should work well, but uses more battery.
switched back to winmo 6.5 for a while and the same radio worked fine (caught the signal etc.). Just now again tried to flash wp7 using 2 different radios, that is 2.12 and 2.14. Have already tried 2.15 with my first attempt, but the problem just remains the same.... 'no network found'. any thoughts? have even tried putting in the apn too. no luck
u know its funny cus its the exact same with mine exactley the same ive tried everything and it picks up the signals but it wont let me connect to any network at all... the phone is just fine except that one problem.. plz any body help us with this stupid problem

i was havin the same damn problem, and i just flashed the 2.11.50.26 radio, and boom baby!! instant network connection. no more 3 beeps and disconnection for me now to check battery life and wifi (no 3g in trinidad yet, so u can't test that)
sim lock...???
After trying different radios by flashing and re-flashing, I've noticed something I should mention. My phone dialer shows a sim icon with a lock on the top left of the screen. Does that shed a new light on things?
sim lock ???
hey sameer... I have the very same issue with my HTC HD2. It is unlocked and I am facing the very same issue that you are when I revert to WinMo 6.5 everything works fine with the same radio. I've tried almost every radio now and have no luck. However, the funny thing is that I do see the sim with a lock when I go to my dialer. I suspect the OS is SIM Locked, however, when in WinMo 6.5 every Sim Card is recognized and works properly
Any luck with the issue yet??
Let me know of your thoughts... btw I'm on Ufone's Network.
It's the sim card!
Problem solved for me and hopefully for salmanjavaid too!
I learnt it the harder way though, by which I mean that I spent money to buy an HD7 and after inserting my sim in my brand new HD7..... no signal again! oooops! Only then it occurred to me to try some other sim cards. My network is also Ufone here in Pakistan. So first I tried a Prepaid Ufone sim (the one with white and orange colour and 64K printed on the back)...and Lo and Behold my hd7 gets the signal and network settings and data connection works fine too! Other operators' sim cards like Telenor, Warid and Mobilink worked fine too. But when I insert the sim card which is in my use back again....no signals again! This sim card is a different version, perhaps not 64K and plain black color on the back.
A call to my Personal Customer Service Executive assigned by Ufone sets the next course of action. He'll bring a replacement sim card for me, when I get back home.
My suggestion to salmanjavaid: try other sim cards first. If they work then get a replacement sim card.
Hope it solves your problem too.
id give this a shot. I'm on vacations in Pakistan and have my Sim Card from O2. I will give it a shot tonight Thanks for the suggestion.
