Well it shows 2 options, unlock and dismiss. If I select dismiss the phone functions are not available it shows service state as out of service.

Maybe you should have flashed the stock 2.1 rom with the new baseband first and then the custom rom of your choice..

Ummm I skipped the 2.1 because it wasn't available for my region. Any other idea?
Thanks for the support.

G2 Touch Android 2.1

Hello,
I have done some searching but have been unable to find the answer so hope you guys can help.
Is there and offical update for the HTC G2 Touch to upgrade the Android frimware past 1.5 yet?
I have looked on the HTC site and drew a blank. If so how easy is this to install and would i lose all my contacts and pre installed apps.
Cheers in advance for any help offered
Yes, there is. You should have had an update pop up on the phone for over the air updating. If you have not then I suggest you restore your firmware to default settings and then connect to a wifi point to get the notification on your phone.
Phone is on default settings and i have connected to wifi many times with no notification.
I have been connected to wifi for 10 mins now and nothing.
Could the fact i am using a Vodafone sim be causing this? I have ordered a free PAYG TMobile sim just in case.

Nope, won't be the sim. Try chaging the date to a month forward. You need to check to see if vodafone has pushed out the updates.
Thanks for your help so far, changing the date did nothing, also Vodafone do not carry this phone.

Then that's why. Your going to have too roll it to WWE version first to get an update.
How do i go about doing that? Is it easy? I have no idesa what WWE mode is i am guessing its nothing to do with the wrestling and some kind of jailbreak.

WWE is the generic ROM that stands for world wide edition (I think!). You need to use the goldcard method/hboot unlocked to change to that.
I suggest you read up on goldcards and for the hboot it's in my sig as 2.1 downgrade. I will try to provide some links shortly.

It's good reading up, um what would it matter how it got on vodaphone if you don't mind me asking? and would it matter who it was with originally?

Because the update will be pushed from the original carrier so putting in a sim card from that carrier would allow the update. In theory.

complete noob, just bought a second hand galaxy s

please point me in the right direction
my sim card does not work, how can i unlock the phone to all networks? i hear theres a diy tutorial. im still on android 2.1
There's an SGS Unlock Tool App is in the Market. Search and Use that.
If it works, you'll get 2 set of codes. Unlock Code and Unfreeze code. save this somewhere like your PC or notebook. Don't lose these codes okay?
Now insert your sim again and it will then ask for the unlock code, enter it and bingo!
the unfreeze code is used when your phone freezes if you try entering invalid unlock codes several times.
Hope this helps.
thanks, i'll try this when i get home
should i update to froyo 1st?

nope. try the app while you are still in eclair. the app has some issues with froyo (i think) so better unlock it while in eclair before you upgrade your firmware.
let me know what happens.
wouldn't flashing it with a custom rom remove the internal branding and limitations?

Maybe but based from what happened to me in eclair, it did not remove the sim lock.

Yes, 0's means your phone is already unlocked.
Will be something either wrong with your Sim card, or the phone has been blocked by the networks

Either your sim is bad or your network blocked the phones IMEI.

You should be able to unlock the phone yourself using the guides posted here on xda forums. Theres a few so just pick one which you can understand and go for it.

Is it a prepaid phone or ya got it on plan? I'm sure if it's on plan you can unlock it free yourself. I unlocked mine last night. Just follow the instruction on your mobile carriers website.

Take some time to read through these forums. Also look at phandroid. Both are great communities to help you unlock the potential of the DHD.

Completely explains how to unlock, well at least it did for me (T-Mobile UK) you have to strictly follow the requirements needed though, otherwise you will damage your phone.
(sorry if any of this has already been posted, and thanks to 'jkoljo' for the guide)
Dude, did you try the tool that you maybe used to root it? Try the sim unlock option on there too. Worked for me. Orange uk. Try root tools search for site.

That means you need to downgrade to 1.32 before you can do anything.
Check out the downgrade thread in the Dev Section.

its not rooted so no.
I dont know what rooted is thats why I took it to a shop to get unocked so I'm guessing no one knows the anwser
to unlock ur Simlock u will have to root ur phone to gain write access to patch / alter the file and have gone through the downgrade process to 1.32 FW. A shop prolly wont do that process for you as they tend to do the exact opposite and flash a non rooted Rom.
thanks, im new to this so this has really helped me.

here you can find how to flash and here you can find all fw from samsung. But I don't recommend you use GB firmwares, they are development versions and have some bugs. The most stable and usable fw is XXKB3

You absolutely can. The Indian firmware is only because of Hindi or telegu etc language packs and yeah no one speaks modern Hindi anymore it's all English spelt Hindi. Like 'ye kya hai ' so XXKB3 is your perfect bet. Also the default language is Russian but at startup you can choose english or it does it automatically by selecting your region from SIM. Gl and safe flash

SIM card issue

Hello SG3 owners and colleagues by phone device
I am new to the forums but I am a long time advanced Android and SG3 user. I have tested almost all ROMs available in the SG3 and X8 sections.
I have a serious issue with my SIM card that I use with my SG3. It worked fine since I got the SG3 and it worked with all ROMs. Yesterday I wanted to flash a stable Eclair ROM and settle with it but this is when my issues started.
I flashed the Revival ROM Classico. When I booted into the OS I was asked for the SIM PIN. I know I have turned this off, but I imputed the last PIN I used. I got an error, service denied (or something similar) and I could not get past this prompt. When I dismissed the prompt I got into the OS but I had no network. OK, the rom clearly sucks and I reflashed CM7.2 A8 which I used normally since it was released.
CM7 was not asking for the PIN, but I had no service in this ROM either. Did factory reset, reflashed, nothing, tried CM9, nothing, tried MIUI nothing.
And here is the weird part...when I insert another SIM the network on the SG3 works fine and I get service. When I insert my current SIm (that does not work with SG3) in another phone it works flawlessly :/, so only when I use my current SIM with SG3 no matter the ROM I get no service.
Anyone can help me?! Should I damn the Revival ROM dev to eternal suffering? J/K

I found out what the problem is, my phone is now network locked and since I use different operator than the phone default locked operator my SIM can't get service. I can't net unlock my phone with ADB, tried nv_data.bin and bml3 extraction but there is no code there.
This ROM is to blame!

I have a similar problem with CM9
I have my SIM locked with a PIN but CM9 does not ask for it, ever.
I tried to select my network manually, but a get "network is not available"
The only solution I found is to disable the SIM lock although I don't like it much...
