Running the standard 1.66 ROM on Vodafone UK
Had the HD2 since 1st Feb, all well at the start. 2 weeks ago email stopped sending and receiving and no internet. Rang Vodafone and they said needed a new sim card. Put that in and it worked OK for a day then back to where I was. The problem seems to intermitant but mostly in the afternoons. I had GProfile installed so thought it might be that but still the same. Soft reset doesn't do anything although the phone seems to switch back on will GPRS connected (is this normal?)
To get emails I now need to go to airplane mode and enable the wifi and then I can download and surf. If I leave the data connection on and switch wifi on it doesn't find any connections. Email send and recieve gets stuck showing downloading x of y and a cuple of bars. Opera/IE just shows a blank page.
Spoke with Vodafone again and they say it's the phone, spoke to expanys and they say I need to fill out some form.
It would appear it has something to do with the GPRS
I have BsB installed but otherwise it's just the stock software.
Anyone had this or got any ideas how to fix/test???
Really don't want to go down the replacement phone route :-(
you could try a hard reset of the phone which would send it back to how it was when you first got it
Thanks for the reply
Was thinking that myself or reload 1.66 ROM but just trying to avoid it if possible
Is it the data 3G that wont connect?
Do you get the "Cannot connect for an unknown reason..." popup message? If so, I get this all the time. Had 2 devices and 3 sim cards but not data connection ever. Perhaps this is the reason for the upcoming radio update due very soon.
Unfortunately I live in the 0.5% of the UK where we don't get 3G!!! It's just GPRS. I was down the road the otherday and 3G kept giving me that but when it said H (whatever that is?!) it was fine. It would just appear to be the GPRS f*cking up at various points.
Just had an idea and put my work O2 sim in let it setup for that and then put my Vodafone sim in to refresh the settings.
So far back on the internet and email working
Maybe the Vodafone settings had just been corrupt
Will let you know how it goes
Thanks for the replies.

Thanks Richy99, I can only dream of 3G let alone HSDPA!!!!
Well it worked for about a day and now I am back with no internet and emails occasionally. Looks like a new replacement handset......the joys of backing everything up!
Hey guys, I'm desperately looking for some assistance with my issue of not having any data upload/download working on my G2. I've been using CyanogenMod 6.1.1 Stable without any issues, tried CM 7 Nightlies a few times, but have reverted back to CM 6.1.1 Stable. I've gone back and forth a couple times, all of which a complete wipe of the phone with nandroid restores.
For whatever reason, my phone shows 3G/H switch back & forth at random intervals, appearing as if it's doing something in a good way, but yet I am unable to do anything involving data communication (e.g. email, web browsing, Market, texting, etc). When I received the phone I continued using the old SIM card that worked fine in my MyTouch3G and now-returned MyTouch4G. It's been working flawlessly in here, but I had noticed something odd. I decided to give the Wi-Fi Calling app a try, as I wanted to make sure that I could at the very least still make/receive phone calls. When I turned that on, it informed me that I had an "invalid SIM card." Then I thought, perhaps the SIM card had become dislodged, so I removed it & inserted it back into the phone. Powered it on, and I was able to get a couple emails download and a text as well, but then it stopped again.
After doing some searching online, I learned other people have had data/voice issues when using old SIM cards, so I decided to use the brand new SIM card that shipped with my G2. Of course that meant I had to call T-Mobile customer support for them to activate the phone, and they did that for me. My data is still not working for me, so I don't know what else to try. She informed me there was a data outage in three cities north of me (maybe 20-40 miles away), but no cities in my area (Aurora, IL, about 45 miles west of Chicago). I also tried flashing CM 6.1.1 Stable from scratch (clean install), and that didn't make anything better.
I went the extra mile to truly rule out if there's an issue with my G2 (i.e. broken radio), by doing some additional testing. I inserted the SIM card in my old MyTouch3G, booted it up (which BTW still works like a champ), saw the same 3G/H in the notification bar, but still could NOT access anything that requires a data connection (e.g. email, web browsing, Market, texting, etc). This leads me to believe that there could be a data outage in my area, but damn it's been ALL FREAKIN' DAY man!
So what can I do to fix this? Any ides and/or suggestions? I am desperate to get this working, so if anyone can provide some assistance I would greatly appreciate it. THANK YOU!
Here are all the specs of my phone:
- S-OFF
- CyanogenMod 6.1.1 Stable with Pershoot's kernel
- radio is 26.03.02.26_M
UPDATE: My data connection seems to be working again, so I'm guessing it was a major outage for T-Mobile which lasted all day.
My data is down right now too. In my new orleans. It just happened around 4 pm.

This may sound simple but when I was jumping between ROM's I found that my mobile data toggle had turned off in the CyanogenMod settings.
Just a thought.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I did try that already. Also did the trick (which I forgot to mention) about trying to swap out APNs (wap.voicestream.com / epc.tmobile.com), and that didn't work.

Hi Guys,
Wondering if anyone could help? I think I may have turned my DHD into an expensive mp3 player! I don’t seem able to connect to any mobile network Apart from that the DHD functions perfectly (working wifi/gps) - it has been working fine in the past
I can’t make/receive any calls / text message. When I try to connect to a mobile network I receive the following error:
- If I choose the network manually myself (o2 for me) I get "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
- If I try going for the automatic option I get "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later."
- I'm also getting the notification every 10 minutes to "Set current time" - I don't know if this is related but I assume so since both issues started at the same time!
The problem occurred when I decide to give RCMix a go through ROM Manager. It appeared to flash fine and was running smooth and quick until I noticed a few hours later I had no mobile connection I'd done this a few times before with RC 7 and CoreDroid and hadn’t experienced an issue before.
First thing I tried was to recover to my previous setup before the flash (using ROM Manager) - the phone restored however the mobile network still remained unresponsive! ...this was the same for all my previous backups. I tried clearing cache and dalvik-cache. I even tried reformatting the phone at one point.
I know it's a fault with the phone and not the sim, I'm just not sure what. I've tried my sim card in another DHD and it worked fine. I have also tried different o2 sim, an orange, vodaphone and T-mobile sim card in my phone – all of which give the same problem.
I’ve tried resorting the phone with a few different RUU’s, and even a German one just because it was o2 branded and I’m on contract with them:
- RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
- RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed

- RUU_Ace_O2_DE_1.32.207.1_Radio_12.28a.60.140e_26.03.02.08_M_release_153755_signed
I then re-rooted the phone with the use of Visionary+.
I’ve tried turning the radio off then back on, both by switching airplane mode and by using the hidden option *#*#4636#*#* and I’ve also tried re-flashing the radio and even a different more up-to-date radio:
- Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M (original)
- Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M
I’ve checked out the APN and it appears to be correct for o2.
I’ve done simpler things like restarting / powering off, removing the battery, re-seating the sim, re-seating the sdcard and booting without the sdcard!
All in all I’m running low on idea’s Could anyone please help or throw some idea’s at me, it would be very much appreciated!
Thank you.

Did you try on your phone pad to type *#06# in order to check your IMEI?Do it and check on your phone's box that they are the same

Double check your SIM card slot to see if its clear of any debris. Other than that, there is a definite fault. Was your handset originally branded?
Sounds like a blacklisted imei.

HTC HD2 with error connecting to the network problem
I have the same problem! I bought a phone from ebay "new" and I have not been able to connect to my network AT&T. The phone has android gingerbread 2.3.2 Nand, and I have tried everything in the book to see if I can connect to the network but to no avail. I have been going on forums for the last three days, and if anything, I just want to know what is wrong with the phone. My sim works on other phones fine. There is enough signal in the area (ive always had signal where I live), and tried resetting, taking the battery off, flashing different roms, even went back to Winmo and nothing has worked yet. My IMEI on the phone was different from the one the box, but was the same on the phone as on the inside IMEI.
WHat the heck is going on? Please ideas or help!
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the quick replies...

Yes sorry I forgot to mention this part - I tried *#06# and both numbers matched on screen and under the battery hood. I also had the IMEI checked to see if it was blacklisted and it has not...

Tried clearing the slot, there is no visible signs of blockage... also I bought the handset second hand - I've never seen any branding however when I bought it the previous owner did tell me it was previously locked to vodaphone and he had rooted it so that he could use other sims cards. Which is why I orginally tried a vodaphone sim card too.
Thanks for your suggestions so far guys
Just a quick update, I've been grasping at straws and I've also tried a few more bits below, none of which have worked... I think I may have to leave this one to rest. Just wanted to let others know who may be experiencing the same issues

It sounds like a fault. If it was network barred you would still receive a signal, for emergency calls. Can you return the handset to HTC for a warranty repair?

I still get a message on the lock screen saying Emergency Calls only - although admittedly I haven't tried calling the emergency services to check if it gets through.
Not being the original in-store purchaser I don't even know the age of the phone but I'm guessing probably over the 12 month warranty period, sod's law - I'll give them a ring and see what they say

My DHD was from the first batch and is still covered by warranty. How did you check to see if the IMEI was blocked?
I had a similar problem to this one. My mobile data connection gave out after my DHD's temp reached about 38 degrees while playing with it in the sun. A little while later I lost coverage completely, same as you. I tried everything, flashing ruus and re-rooting, re-s-offing, everything. Ten different ROMs, radios, kernels etc.
Eventually I gave up, figuring I had confirmed it was a hardware issue, and popped my sim in my old nokia so I had a usable phone and to get on with my life after wasting so many hours. I left the DHD with the battery removed, and ended up not coming home for a couple of days.
When I got home and decided to start playing around with the DHD again to see if I could get it working properly, I noticed the issues were gone.. I've tried to reproduce this problem out of curiosity, leaving the led light on high for a while, making the phone hot. Nothing. Since then I've flashed everything imaginable, and I've switched back and forth between two radios all week. No problems.
Strange, I'm guessing I have some form of hardware damage, but everything is running smoothly now at 1,5 GHz - no unstability of any kind.
I have done that actually! I took the battery off, and put the phone back in the box just to get on with my life. I left it sitting for a day and a half I guess, and I came back BUT unfortunately, unlike you, the problem is still there. The phone tries to look for signal, but it can't connect to the network. It does find the network and identifies it by name, but does NOT connect to it.
Sounds like a hardware fault Bob - Give it back to Rob!
or try and get HTC to fix if still in warranty?
Thanks! I thought so, too!
Hey did you solve problem?
I have had that emergency calls for 2 day,s i am waiting only. Please help.
If you find that your GPRS data connection connects but you have no GSM signal do the following
*#*#4636#*#* choose radio off and then radio on, be sure to be in a location with a STRONG GSM Signal and your phone should connect. I have had the same issue with my Desire HD and have been surviving with this workaround as nobody else seemed to know
Stiill same :S Selected networkd unavailable error
Try changing sim, or it sounds like blacklisted IMEI.
But my sim works on other phones and other sim cards work on my Huawei?
I was reading through this hoping desperately that somebody had found a solution. I had switched to Cyanogenmod recently but had GPS issues, so I tried flashing a new radio and RIL. Now I can't make any calls/texts, etc. as described here.
Tried several other radios/RILs, tried nandroid restore, tried flashing whole new ROM (LeeDroid). Still the same issue. Tried the *# codes listed here, no luck.
Please let me know if anybody has solved this one. I really don't need a paperweight right now...
Hey everyone,
Had the Galaxy S2 since Saturday, unlocked the device, everything was working great. Out of no where, yesterday the phone still shows the H+ logo and full signal, yet i cannot send, receive text messages, initiate a data connection or make/receive phone calls.
In order to get all that ability back, you either have to 1) reboot the device, or 2) turn airplane mode on then off.
This only works for roughly 10 minutes before it all happens all over again.
I tried swithing to WCDMA only, but issue still persists, even tried some menu codes I found on another thread to disable H+ but the same thing happens.
This is currently happening on the bell shipped rom with no root or anything of the sort.
Has anyone experienced this?
I've searched for hours but can only really find complaints of data connection loss only. In my case it's everything. Data / SMS / Cell
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I feel your pain, even though I have an XEU unlocked GS2, I've updated it with every update from kies hoping the issue would resolve.
Even with the latest KF3 update the issue persisted, however the phone could be used on Rogers with no issues, on Telus data drops constantly.
Disabling fast dormancy didn't do much to help.
However since updating the phone to KG3 2.3.4 yesterday I have not had the issue happen again. For the first time since I got the phone it no longer drops the data connection on Telus.

Thanks for the quick response. Was it only your data that disconnected, or everything else?
Also, may you please link me to the update? I suppose I could use that as a last ditch effort before exchanging the device before its too late.
My issue has changed over the past couple months, originally the phone would report that it dropped the network and when it came back data wouldn't work until airplane off then on or a reboot.
Lately things seemed fine with occasional data drops until yesterday, when it had full signal but I couldn't use data, sms or make a call. It was basically a paper weight until I updated it. The link to the file which has everything you need to update from samfirmware.com is below.
http://hotfile.com/dl/124839941/a17b394/I9100XXKG3.rar.html
*edit - I'd make sure you have a back-up of your current firmware in case you need to flash back and return the phone.
I have the exact same problem. Bought a bell gs2 unlocked it and now with telus. My data dropped constantly and now I'm using the newest litening rom and now it only drops maybe once or twice a day so a huge improvement

If it's any consolation, I ran my Virgin SIM over the weekend (just to burn up the data I had to buy for a 1 month) and the same thing happened on stock firmware.
In my case, it would put me in "emergency calls only" mode, saying I wasn't authorized for the network (i.e. it wasn't recognizing my SIM). Tried the usual stuff (re-seating SIM, using the Telus SIM, reboots, cache wipes, network WCDMA/GSM selection etc), and nothing fixed it, it just seemed to come back on its own when it was good and damned ready no matter which SIM I used.
Flashed to "Frankenstein" KG3 on Sunday, and neither the Virgin or Telus SIM has lost network since then, in the same areas. WiFi seems to be working better too.
My SIM unlocked Defy has been sitting unused on the shelf for several months - I did plan to sell it after upgrading to an Atrix, but never quite found the time to sort it out.
I've now decided to pass the Defy on to my girlfriend as a Christmas present (yeah, I'm a tightwad ), but have not been able to get it to work correctly.
The problem is this. The Defy will not connect to the network to send or receive calls or SMS messages. However, the phone can connect to data services via 3G (even though, on my Giffgaff SIM, it gives some sort of error message saying connection will not be possible, before accessing the internet without problems!).
I've tried:
Multiple Basebands - including the various ones I used previously without any problems.
Multiple ROMs - CM7, MIUI, WajkIUI installed via CWM and a couple of Froyo SBFs installed using RSD. All these ROMs show the same characteristics - no calls or SMS but Data connections work.
Multiple SIMs on different networks. The Defy was originally a T-Mobile device but I unlocked this using a code from one of the Unlock sites and used it with an Orange SIM then my Giffgaff SIM with no problems. Now, the very same Giffgaff SIM shows the call/SMS problem. My girlfriend's T-Mobile SIM appears to be recognised normally and the network seems to be working but all calls and SMS messages fail instantly.
Multiple Wipes/Resets using both CWM and the stock recovery. None has resolved the problem.
A quick Google found the following link:
http://thewichitacomputerguy.com/blog/how-i-fixed-your-sim-card-does-not-allow-connection-network-g1
Unfortunately, I've tried everything recommended on that page without success.
Anybody have experience of this problems on their Defy and, if so, can anybody tell me how I can fix it?
I promised my girlfriend a phone so, if I can't get this Defy working properly, it's going to cost me a few quid so I would appreciate any assistance!
I've since discovered that my problematic Defy appears to have been blacklisted, almost certainly by accident by those wonderfully incompetent folks at Orange. Here's more information on a problem which has occurred with quite a few people here in the UK following the merger of the Orange/t-mobile networks in mid-December:
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3677593
I bought the phone on eBay from a seller and used it for around six months without any problems so I think it incredibly unlikely that the blacklisting is valid - I mean, who would report a phone as stolen around 8 months after it was taken?!?
Just waiting to hear back from the eBay seller to see if he can provide me with his original proof of purchase for the phone so I can get the blacklisting lifted. I don't rate my chances all that highly.
Hi all. sorry to revive a few month old thread, but at least I'm not creating a whole new one!
I have a Motorola Defy. Generally I'm pretty geeky, but I decided to root it at install ICS 4.0.4... it all went well... eventually. However I have no conectivity to my network. It will not send or receive texts calls or data to the network. Wifi does work still.
Honestly I'm done screwing around with it. I just want to restore it back to original factory settings and admit defeat. Where can I find the original firmware that will work In canada on the Telus network? This is my only phone, I have no other cell and no landline so I'm kinda in a pickle and would appreciate anything you could do to help me get up and running again.
If there is any more info you need just ask, I'll try to get it for you.
Try it with this baseband switcher. Maybe it will help you.
Thanks! I actually just saw your post, but I figured that out all by myself! It did work though! I appreciate the reply!
ok new problem... everytime I shut off my phone it reverts back to the wrong baseband. any idea on how to keep it on the new one? every time i reboot I have to swithc baseband then do a restart. it them switches and works perfect. If i shut the phone off it reverts and I have to go over it all over again.
Try to convert defy baseband switcher to a system app with Titanium backup.

Thanks Vicsa! Used Apps2ROM (ROOT) instead because I'm cheap, but had the same effect. You sir are awesome!
And now that my phone is working again perfect I'll be leaving the F***ing thing alone now unless i'm absolutely 100% sure what I'm doing. Generally I have no issue doing things like this to computers, but it would seem that phones are a whole new breed... Anyways THANK-YOU!!!!
You're welcome mate. Glad I could help you
