Hi,
I am experiencing problems trying to use my SIM card in my yotaphone 2 (yd201) after I flashed new firmware onto it (when I bought it it was YD206 and it worked). I live in Slovakia and tried to use different sim cards and also I tried flashing different radio firmwares (EU, HK, CN, ... with android 4 and 5) but all i got every time I turned it on was only emergency calls message. I was unable to connect to a network manually nor automatically.
But heres the thing, I live in the UK as well and everything works well there (with my slovak SIM card).
So my questions are: What was the original YD206 firmware (I didnt note that before flashing yd201) was it HK? I will try to flash YD206 again to see if it works and then reflash with just leaving the radio firmware from the YD206 (whatever firmware that turns out to be).
And second, more thechnical question is: Does anyone now what could be the underlying issue here? The technological cause of the problem? Is it incompatibility of the radio firmwares to work with frequency bands of mobile signal in Slovakia? (unlikely since they seem to be largely the same standards as in UK)
Thanks to anyone who offers his opinion, I wouldnt like to have to throw an amazing smartphone just because the call function doesnt work
Regards
Stefan Rastocky
I thought HK was 201 and 206 CN
Are you positive the CN firmware has the same problem as the HK/EU/RU?
And reboot a few time after updating before considering failure" , when i've updated my 201 to 5.0 it took 2 reboots for the mobile network to "get going"
hi, thanks for your answer
Oh, thanks for the suggestion, I didnt think about rebooting. What I did was just to go to settings and try to register on a network. I will try the firmwares with rebooting tomorrow.
Should the combined EU-RU firmware (its radio part anyway) cover all the wireless signal bands in europe? In other words should I be fairly confident that if I install it, the problem, if any, will not be about radio band compatibility?
Thanks again for the reaction. I will let you know about what comes out of it.
By the way is this a forum about yotaphone 2? Since there is a yotaphone 1 picture and description on the title page.

there is no specific yatophone2 forum , I have a "real" 201 but AFAIK the 206 is CN (china) en you need to china drivers in a EU / RU firmware,
frequencies of both models: https://www.frequencycheck.com/compare-devices/qkjseR/yota-yotaphone-2-yd201/yota-yotaphone-2-yd206
(cannot be changed AFAIK by any firmware update)
freq used in your country/carrier https://willmyphonework.net/
Hi, thank you for the answer. According to the last url you provided I should be able to use a network here. FIY:
https : / / www . frequencycheck . com / compatibility / Zlrtl0 / yota-yotaphone-2-yd201 / slovakia
But I am just not. I have also run out of different radio firmwares to try, so I dont really know what to do now.
Could it be that the phone is somehow locked from connecting to the networks?
Thanks

I have just moved back from Hong Kong to europe and my dopod will not work here.
It says :
"Your current settings do not match the active network in use.
You may not be able to access all network services until this is corrected."
Then I click yes and it takes me to a list of aisan countrys to choose from a provider.
I need a list of european countries not asian ones.
I have tryed flashing the rom to:
RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.35.00.11_Shi p (LVSW Edition 2007-02-23)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294718
But after it starts up it has the same problem and only lists asian countries and providers.
Is there any way to fix this?
I had a similar problem coming back from China (I work and live in Switzerland): the phone was not connecting anymore to the network.
What I did:
Connection Manager --> Phone Setting --> Band Tab
Select "GSM" as network type
Then it worked: it was trying to connect in Europe using WCDMA.
Hope this will help,
Anubis
Still does not work.
I think this is somthing to do with the external rom. It comes up with a network wizard every time i reset the phone.
The only counrties to select from are asian ones.
What phone and rom are you using?
it also says yourcurrent operator 23433 is not supported.
Trinity p3600 with Dopod (official ROM).

Humm, some countries do have WCDMA(HSDPA) coverage.
Fixed it!
I found out that the orange sim card does not support the 3G phones.
Just bought a new one and works great.

This is likely the probem. I'm in Europe and when I loaded the Dopod rom, this message came up during installation. You have to click on ignore this message forever in the popup dialog box. Then it won't bother you again.
Hi Everyone,
I recently flashed the Brazilian MS2 SBF (was using Australian Vodafone ROM) in an attempt to get 3G working here in Canada (Rogers; 850/1900).
When I flashed the Brazilian SBF, I was able to get a connection very briefly before getting an error that my SIM is not authorized for this network.
Does the Brazilian ROM institute some sort of SIM-lock? If so, has anyone got around it? I haven't had any problems with UK, Australia or original Chinese ROM (phone eBay'd from HK)
Is it confirmed that the MS2 can in fact properly baseband switch from 900/2100 to 850/1900?
Thank you for your time and help!

u should find ur answer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940828&highlight=brazilian+sbf
I had a look at that thread earlier.. but no avail. Actually it turns out they released several Milestone 2s, and not all of them are tri-band 3G. Some are dual - this is the risk of getting these phones early off of eBay. Mine is 900/2100 3G - I need 850/1900 3G. Stuck with ****ty EDGE until either 1) I move to a new country 2) my phone carrier changes infrastructure - both not happening soon.
Thanks

Okay, so I bought the Huawei X1 phone, which is a great little phone.
But, it wasn't long before I started to tinker with it, and in the process I lost the stock Telecom rom and ended up having to flash with an Aussie version.
The problem I'm having though, is that nearly all roms I've found so far will not register properly on the network, and as far as I found out, it's because these all came from 900mhz providers and not the 850mhz like XT.
So heres what I would like somone to do f they are keen enough...
Use SuperOneClick to root their phone.
Install RootToolBox.
Flash with recovery-RA-u8160-v2.3 (you may need a file manager like ES file manager)
Power off then on holding both power button and volume up until recovery menu comes up.
Perform a nand backup of boot, system, and data and then...
Please please please upload the files somewhere for me!
Thanks.
Or if anyone has the U8180 Telecom New Zealand rom, can you please upload?
I've tried getting it from wiki.modaco.com Huawei_Firmware_U8180
But none of the links work, or I can't figure out how to get them working.
You've got the wrong forum mate...This forum section is for U8800 - X5 and what you've got is Huawei Ideos X1 - U8180.
Yeah I know, but for some reason I can't find the right forum?
Able to point me in right direction?
You owe me a beer for this
http://androidz.jimdo.com/roms-x1-u8180/roms-u8180-x1-gaga/#.Tlrayl34K08
Not really mate, those roms are the reason my phone is now stuck on the 900mhz version baseband and not the 850mhz version like I need for telecom.
I'm desperate for the NZ telecom version!
Ups, sorry mate, wasn't aware that NZ is 850mhz.
Can you not change the baseband in *#*#4636#*#* menu?

You are confused, the baseband has nothing to do with the 3G frequency, you cannot change a frequency because it is in the hardware not software.
My question is: did it worked before the update? (im assuming that you are talking about 3G frequency bands)
Sent from my U8800Pro using XDA App
Oh I guess I am confused?
Yes it did work before the update.
And no I don't see an option to change anything in the menu.
How would I go about repairing this?
Maybe contact Huawei NZ? via http://huaweimobile.co.nz
I tried that yesterday.
Got some angry little asian man who wanted to know how I flashed the phone and was no help at all
Noticed before that the phone model isn't actually U8180, but rather U8180-7...
I'm guessing there may be a hardware change for NZ?
Can anybody point me to more info on basebands and whatnot?
I don't really understand it all, I was under the impression that baseband=operating frequencies?
Why don't you take it back to Telecom shop and see if they can flash it back? I doubt you'll have much luck on this forum as it's for a totally different phone that runs on only 2D and Vodafone in NZ
you'd be fine if the Huawei links weren't broken, all the links I've tried for multiple models are broken. Keep an eye on them they might come right soon.
Flashed it with U8150 firmware for a laugh, going back to shop today :S
hey there -
I've got the U8180-7 NZ Telecom version if you want - uploading it now to mediafire and will post it in a bit.
Will you return the favor ? I need to purchase a couple of these phones in NZ and have them shipped out to me. But haven't found a way to do that yet.. nobody seems to want to ship overseas or even have DHL pick on my expense from their shop..
rgds,
pirh
Update: seems I can't yet post outside links.. PM me for the link
Hey Luke, check out geekzone:

They have been working on CM7 for the telecom x1 so maybe their port will work

Hello people,
I have a fully unlocked Rogers Canada S8500R ->S8500RUXJF3/S8500RRWCJF3 (RWC) with bada v1.0.
I tried flashing newer firmware v1.2 ->S8500XXKF3, but got a problem - WIFI mac address disappeared. So, I decided to go back to some of the older versions ->S8500XEJL2. Now I have the MAC address and WIFI working, but the phone does not find any GSM network. Tried with two different network providers (different sim cards) with no luck.
I used the instructions and the firmware provided here:
http://www.sammobile.com/threads/45-Samsung-S8500-Wave-Firmwares.
All update steps pass without errors. Using multiloader v5.64.
Any ideas or suggestions how to resolve this will be appreciated?
Bro your wave 8500 cant find the rogers GSM band because you flashed it with a generic firmware so the settings havent been set yet for rogers.
Did you check your phone settings and try to set it to auto? if this doenst work then manually select the gsm band that Rogers uses.
How is your 3g btw?
Yes, it is set to auto. Besides that I'm located in Europe in the moment and no network is detected.
try manually setting it then to the bands that your provider uses.
---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------
oh your in europe now...btw have you activated the sim for MMS/3G?
In my country when we buy a new sim we have to send a code to the service provider so that they can activate the 3g capability of the sim.
Call the service provider of the sim your using and ask them if the sim has been activated for 3g and MMS.
The problem is that the phone actually doesn't find any GSM network after flashing with euro firmware, not just the 3G.
However, there are some Brazilian roms of bada v.1 with which the phone finds network.
Sorry
Where in europe are you now?
The wave 8500 is quadband GSM so it shouldnt have problems finding a GSM network anywhere in the world.
However go back to your original firmware bada 1.0 just to test that the quadband is working properly.
Then take a good look at the other bada 1.2 firmwares because some are not full firmwares ex there are firmwares that require a previous firmware be installed before they work properly.
After flashing back to your original firmware, post the results.
That's the problem..., I can't find any original firmware for Rogers Canada.
If you find any, please, let us know!
I dont know what to tell you
Rogers that rang a bell for me... i looked up at sammobile.com and rogers wasnt in any of the provider firmwares.
Then i remembered years back about the omnia windows 6.5 phone on rogers where they couldnt unlock the phone to be used on other networks until you get an unlock code from rogers.
It seems your phone has a network provider lock which is almost similar to a simlock.
(locked to one provider)
There were warnings on samfirmware before that locked and branded waves should not be flashed without unlocking first.
Ive posted links below including google.
there are several videos on youtube can you try copying the unlock code they used but it seems you have to buy the code but in the video it shows the code try it..

Hello. A friend of mine from portugal that works in switzerland has a phone that with a PT sim card from MEO, can´t get a network signal in Portugal, but in switzerland he says that it works ok. Can someone give me a pointer to what i need to do ? I have experience with android and roms but never messed around with an S5.
Do i need to flash a new radio or what ?
Thanks !
Is the phone network locked?

he told me it was fully unlocked, but how do i know for sure ?
ok it appears that i get signal bars but it tells me i cant register on the network, this seems to be a common problem judging from all the vids on yt or google results, but so far none of the solutions presented worked for me ( i still havent flashed anything)
Edit: ok ive flashed 2 roms through odim and problem still persists, help ? the odin files reflash the modem right ?
Edit2: flashed the latest modem file (same problem)
Edit3 : Flashed cm13 problem still persists im beginning to think the imei might be blocked here in portugal, anyone knows of a way to check if it is ?
