Hi,
I bought an Vodafone Italian branded E900 for use in the Netherlands.
Because my SIM didnt work wirth it I flashed to a new ROM, first I tried the NLD version, second I tried the European Open. With both firmware my SIM doesn't work. Its from T-mobile. Other SIMs beside T-mobile do work. But some T-mobile SIMS don't, not all T-mobile SIMS but some of them. SIM isn't recognized, or is missing, thats the message.
I tried using the MFG app for unbranding, also used the LG network tool, but nothing helps.
I am so confused. T-mobile cant help me either.
Also when I go to the MFG Menu
click 7 for Engineer Settings.
then click 6 for Other Settings.
Select Set Network Profiles
it goes back to the main screen.
I have flashed my device several times but it keeps recurring. Phone was not simlocked when I bought it second hand.
Another question: why is the homepage on the Europe Open ROM still Vodafone? Is it really unbranded?

Hi,
I sucessfully unlocked my t-mobile pocket pc phone edition which i bought in the USA. Back in Holland my BEN (a.k.a. t-mobile) sim didn't work because it doesn't support the 1800 network.
After the unlocking i bought a Vodafone SIM and it works. Thank you xda-developers!
But how do i get a rom update since i am not a t-mobile or O2 customer? Can anyone get me a link?

Upgrade 900/1900
Just make very sure you never install the RSU (Radio Stack Upgrade) for anything but a 900/1900 phone, or you'll be in trouble...
You can safely install the O2 RUU Rom Upgrade packages to upgrade the PDA part, either normally or through the bootloader.
Just get the update from t-mobile
Just get the update from t-mobile's USA website
All you need is a valid T-mobile subscriber number to punch into their web site.
The entire block of 10-digit numbers 801808xxxx belongs to t-mobile. Try different numbers till you find one that works

Hi great forum !!!
But and theres always a but im having trouble with my xda.
It was locked to o2 so as you guys recomended i updated the rom to the latest version as well as the radio update (all from the UK o2 web site)
Ran you unlocking program as mentioned and all was as promised its now unlocked.
I put my Uk T mobile sim into it and it cant pick up the network.
Only networks avalible are o2 and vodafone.
Friend put his vodafone sim in and it works fine!!!
I have looked on the forum and theres a mention about the network speed but when i go to programs and cant find the aplication to change this.
Could the problem be that i have the latest o2 radio stack?
I have looked everywhere for a t mobile on but to no avail.
Any help is much loved.

Confirming you can't even make a phone call with your SIM card?
Yeah sorry did i miss the point lol
The only two uk networks avalible to choose from are o2 and vodafone.
No T mobile No Orange No otheres at all.
When i put my sim card in (t mobile) theres no signal and cant make a call.
Could it be the radio stack?
Theres nothing on my phone to change the frequance.!
rom version 3.17.03 eng
radio version 4.21.00 From o2.
Cheerz
Both O2 and Vodafone are on the 900 mhz band, try looking at the gsm band chosen under bootloader, you need 900/1800.
And is there a easy way to change this?
Many thanks
Mark
Go the boot loader screen (Power button + soft reset) ... wait till "GSM OK" appears and then press the calendar button to get the menu.
Good luck
Thats it
Your a genius
Thanks soooo much.

Hi all,
I'm seeing this strange thing. I have received a Qtek 2020, and I tried to use it with my sim (TIM, Italian Telecom) but I can't see network service, under any circumnstance. Then I swapped my sim card with a Vodafone IT one, and I've seen full signal immediately. Trying to change to another operator like Italian "Wind", took me just as the very 1st step: no signal at all. I tried to change radio rom/os rom, and running unlock tools (they said it's all unlocked). Nothing changed.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance!

Wich radio version is in the mda ????
Try updating it to the latest version seeupgrading part
Hi, thanks for the reply (i was away for holidays )
I've tried *all* of the Radio ROMs for the device (found on buzz's site). Also for the OS rom and extended, when in 2003. Just don't know what else to do!
some older sims are incompatible
some people have reported success with
getting their operator sending them a newer
sim
Already tried!
It seems that works with the old ones as well as with the new ones (my sister has a 6-years-old card from Vodafone, and it WORKS!), but just from that vendor.
I'll just drop it in a trash can!
Deer friends,
I need your help.
last weehk I changes my operator in israel from ornage to pelephone.
The hermes does not recognise the new operator network, and i cano not use the phone.
I tried several roms including shaps 4.31. manila and some others.
Yet, i can not use the phone. It does not find any available network.
pelephone network is a UMTS network ( as far as I know).
it is obvious that my hermes is sim unloacked.
Pleas any one familiar with pelephone network and hermes setting,
I need help
regards
