Hi again,
After my first panic-stricken post i did a bit of reading (dah) and decided to redo all. So now i have a XDA II with ROM version 1.60.00WWE, Radio ver. 1.10.00 and ExtROM ver 1.60.50. after running the xda2unlockver2.2 the phone is unlocked but with no network, or very erratic network and I can't make or receive calls. The phone was working fine on O2 before the unlocking. I have even got another XDA II with same ROM, radio etc and the process worked fine on that. What could be the problem?
Regards, Jim
I think I would be inclined to backup and try a hard reset, I know it isnt a very original solution but its worth a try, also remove the sim and reinsert. I am assuming you know the history of the phone and there is no chance that it is blocked on the networks.
Hi,
Thanx for the reply, I've tried all that and still no luck. The phone is not barred, I am 100% sure about that. I occasionally get a bit of signal on vodafone and t-mobile but when i try to make a call the signal goes then comes back. Any other ideas?
regards, Jim
maybe trying another sim card ?
Tried several already

First off, I spent quite some time browsing these forums but I cant find any posting on a problem like this.
I have a MDA Pro and I used to have Radio 1.09, Now it just says No GSM. When I try to update the system doesn't detect my radio version, also when I try updating the radio rom it just sits at 0% progress and then gives a 114 cant update radio rom error.
I've tried using mtty with rtask to reset my radio... didn't work. I used to have the qtek rom installed but went back to t-mobile rom. Didn't work. Repeated rebooting, with or without sim-card inserted. Didn't work.
Is there anyone that knows of this problem and knows a fix for this? TIA.
Have you tried Buzz's sim unlock tool?
Part of it is installing a specially adapted Radio ROM, without the main or extended ROM parts.
I don't know if it will help, but it might just give your Uni the kick it needs. You may be able to get this 0.00.00 version on, then when that's there, you can update to 1.11.00 or whatever you want.
Is that right? Anyone else got a view on what I'm suggesting? Sounds like it might help, but not 100% sure.
Regards
Seeing as I can't upgrade my rom to any other rom, I don't reckon that will help.
Besides, atm I still got the option to go back to T-mobile and get it fixed or replaced, removing the sim-lock will surely remove my warranty.

If it's still covered by T-Mobile I'd take that option, I have a T-Mobile MDA Pro, insured with HomeCare (T-Mob's insurance scheme), called them up yesterday because of a fault; and because it's bank holiday weekend (and I begged ) They sorted it for me to go to a T-Mobile store, pay my excess, and swap the handset there and then.
Slight cost, but fixed my problem (and also got rid of some dents and scratches at the same time)

It has already opened it to the public on the site in Japan on which I am

We've been waiting! Good to see you back.
Downloading now. I needed something to do while my wife goes shopping, anyway!!
I can't configure an exchange server, it just blinks and doesn't go anywhere when I click on the set up server link. I'll have to wait for the next version...
To all who live in Japan and hope to use this to access MMS via the softbank network:
MMSLITE (both builds) do not work in this rom. So if you need MMS lite, best to stay with 6.0 for the time being until this problem is solved.
I'm loosing faith in this unlocking methodology in JAPAN...PLS HELP
I'm starting to think there is no solution I have unlocked and uploaded and reloaded and re-unlocked, etc but still the same problem...My phone can not access the cellular network. I did a manual search and my phone does not acknowledge the JP Softbank network. I have put different kinds of ROM's and OS upgrades, etc, but still no success. I'm starting to think that these great unlocked PDA's only work in Europe and North America and not in JAPAN.
I have seen several other threads with others having the same problem so I am going to try to ask this question in several different threads.
I have no errors and everything works fine in the process, just like everybody says it does, but still nothing for acquiring a signal. It just either shows an exclamation point or searching dots. I have compared the various carrier options on my phone to other Softbank phones and everything is the same networks except acknowledging the Softbank network.
I'm praying there is some smart person out there who can figure this out...PLEASE...PRETTY PLEASE...

Sounds like a radio problem. Tried flashing to a different radio? See the Wiki for instructions. After upgrading to a new rom you should still be able to get a cell signal.

You are getting no signal at all? Can't make calls? I have flashed many roms and always have a signal after flashing. It unfortunately sounds like your phone has a serious problem. I would send it off to get repaired.

I'm a compulsive flasher but I have never been unable to access the network straight after a ROM flash. What radio do you have now? Probably the only way you're going to check if it really is a hardware problem is to install the standard SB ROM (Make sure you disable the re-locking program in the EXT_ROM before you do that - just soft reset when it tries to run the self config after setup, THEN delete the file from the EXT_ROM itself to stop Softbank from screwing you if they hard reset it.) You'll need to install that ROM if you want to return it for repairs anyway.
Is your SIM sitting OK? That caused me problems once before.
don't flash back to softbank yet....

Correct me if I am wrong, but if he installs the SB ROM it will lock his phone for good right? I think it upgrades the radio to the locked 1.14.01.10 If he does downgrade to SB 5 by extracting only the rom from the setup file, then I can't see it making a difference. He should either get a signal or not get a signal, right? I guess though, if it is unlocked and he sends it in for repairs it is going to come back locked in any event.
Wow...many thanks for support BUT still ???
See, I can not get any support from Softbank because I do not have a Softbank phone. The only pda they offer is the X01T HTC with a japanese OS. I have one but it was run over by a car... I can still access the data inside via activesync. Is it possible to copy a particular file from inside that phone to this one.
I bought a Tmobile WIZA200 from the states. Even if I carried it to Softbank, they will not take it because it is in English (&@*#). I am starting to think it is a hardware issue and hope I dnt get burned on this ebay transaction, but have read some other threads that Japan is difficult (like always). Security Nazi's is an understatement.
I relatively understand these replies but don't really wanna get stuck with a "fried" phone through trial and error.
Do I need a SoftBank ROM?
If so, will I be able to unlock it through the methods in this site?
Will the ROM from an X01T work?
My old X01T, I had it unlocked and changed to English OS but all the unlocking was code based....I never had to input a code in this WIZA200 so I think the person unlocked it before me and I was just doing redundancy...???
Many thanks for your input.
Sent you a PM.

It's moot since he's not got a Softbank phone anyway, but the ROM itself doesn't lock the radio in, a program in the EXT_ROM writes the 1.14.01.10 radio, and then changes the bootloader (I think) so you can't change the radio. It doesn't lock a previously unlocked phone - I know because I have the black model and foolishly loaded the new ROM that locked the radio in, but my phone is still unlocked and supercid, which I'd done before flashing the SB ROM.

I don't think so, but you have a Softbank SIM from the crushed phone, right? Was that damaged in any way?
btw, does this ROM works with MMSlite? or it uses SB original mail program?
Hmmm...It sounds like there are great minds working on this
I had a reply from another thread with the same question and they are having kind of the same problem...I have seen this is several threads. from Japan users with unauthorized hardware.

Is it possible to manually go in and change the radio to 1.14.01.10 and is that the right ?freq? (I hope Im understanding this right). Also, do you know which files these are exactly within the phone and is it possible to go into my old one, copy the right files, change some wording and paste into my WIZA200? Where did you get the SB ROM, etc...?
hey, links are dead....
can I get a link to the Japanese Forum or to the rom.
many Thanks

Hi all,
Well this is my first real post on here, probably in the wronge section too. Apologies if that is the case.
Last night after backing up my stock phone etc, I installed the coredroid 3.2 stock on my phone through rom manager. This installed fine and worked briefly however about 30min later it lost my sim card and said 'no simcard'. I friends sims from other carriers and it didnt' say 'no sim card' but did say 'no service'. I tried 3 different sims in total all to different carriers. My phone was bought outright and is unlocked.
I quickly reverted to my backup and the same thing happened. I've since tried the latest nightly of cyanogen and still no luck but it runs very smooth otherwise.
Have i F%#$ my phone? Worst part is phone is only 3 weeks old and wife is not impressed..
PLEASE HELP!

well, if you flash custom rom, it's recommended to use their recommend radio.
but make sure s-off and eng s-off first.
if i were u, should give it a try, because you can't use your dhd as mobile phone either.
edit :
opps btw, have u tried your sim card to another phone? is it working ? if not working, then it's your simcard fault. hehe
but still, i'm personally will flash the recommended radio if i were u.
The simcard doesnt work in other phones either. When it is in mine it says 'no sim card'.
However when i use another simcard it simply says 'no service'. I will get another simcard tonight but will try the radio and pray it works!
Thanks for the advice, ill let you know how i go.
ya i pray for you. really hope u can use back your dhd , and get a new sim card replacement.
Ok,
Well i collected my new sim tonight and flashed to the recommended radio and ........still no service.
What is wrong with my phone? It recognises that i have an optus sim card but it still says no service (i am in a really good service spot for my provider so i know it isn't their problem).
So far i have replaced sim, restored backups, tried different roms, changed the radio....wifi works fine.
Please help, i'm freaking out, what an expensive paperweight i now have....save me!
IT's WORKING!!!
I have no idea why this happened but i thought i would install GAPPS and for one reason or another it got my phone working. My signal has returned and all is well.....for now.
Any idea why this would get my phone to work?
Thanks for the input.
My U.S. Cell TP2 won't security unlock when I run the unlocker I purchased. I put a ticket but it's been over 12 hours or so. I've tried to do just about everything I can think of and have been flashing back and forth between ROM's about 15 times now. I understand I must be patient but can someone please help me so I can use my phone I did pay and I will be happy to do the remote unlock too if I can get someone to just tell me what the problem is. I'm a little skeptical because I thought this was supposed to be guaranteed to work. I did manage to change the Radio by flashing to a Sprint ROM and then reflashing the ROM back but that was it, still won't let me use and keeps reverting back to U.S. Cell. I am a noob but I am not that much of a noob. I think I pretty well understand what I am doing here and how things works and have spent a lot of time reading. thnx if u can help me. It is greatly appreciated. The error it keeps giving me is: "Device in flight mode or IMEI must be purchased" (Device is not in flight mode)
I was able to get it registered to a brand new T-mobile sim card I purchased. That doesn't explain why another currently active sim card I was using from a friend didn't work though. I never was able to use/install the unlocker. I would like to know if you can run the unlocker multiple times or would it give you an error message? Has anyone tried this?
I'm still experimenting. So this is of course subject to change depending on how confused I find out I am
Hello there,
I've been reading around on the forum for ages now trying to find a solution to my problem, found nothing and see no other way around it than to post my problem here.
I've used the Ace Hack kit to root the phone and make it s-off. Booting up I get no signal /limited service. I've tried to installed Revolution HD and it works perfect except the same error is still there. The phone is reading my sim card and i can see my contacts.
The baseband version is: 12.39a.50.19U_26.06.06.30_M
I live in the UK and I'm using a Lebara pay to go card on the vodafone network.
I'm absolutely cluesless which radio/RIL that could be suitable and all the attempts I've made have resulted in status quo. I beg you, please help me!
It could be several things. First, try using a different sim card - from a different operator if possible.
Sent from a dream.
Update the radio my friend to the lastest one.
Download this one
http://www.mediafire.com/?sjpp75agt3q3u3n
put on SD card then reboot into the bootloader and it will ask if you want to update press volume up. Just make sure you have over 50% battery power before doing this.
Tried a different sim card without luck.
I've also installed the new radio which hacktrix2006 linked to and it doesn't seem to help on the situation though it has been successfully installed.
Thanks for the suggestions, do you have any other? I'm really desperate here!
try cleaning the bottom cover there are some gold point use something to light score it failing that make sure the pins the gold parts cover are making contact as that is the antanna
Hack, do you have a md5 check for that link to mediafire. I might change my radio when I get my service back tonight.. Which radio is it?
i do not have a md5 sorry
What radio is the latest... And one more thing... Will a backup keep my original radio? Or do I have to fastboot flash the original radio I manage to find on the net?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Thanks alot for the tips Hacktrix, I'm missing the cover for the battery thing which also has two of these small connectors. Didn't realize that was an antenna at all, but i guess both of the covers has to be on to get any reception at all. Grrr all this time and it's such a small thing.. I've now ordered a cover and it should be here on monday, will post update on whether it's working or not. Cheers
It will work if thats the case mate.
Okay, so I've received the cover for the battery now. I still get no signal on the phone so far, maybe it's the radio? I've flashed it with the one hacktrix suggested. Can anyone recommend another radio or have any other things I can try out?
Right before we go to flashing the radio again, have you checked the sim card is working correctly.
If the Signal is still not showing even after putting the cover on, then we simply must start right from basics.
Check the simcard does it work in another phone.
Try another simcard
Is the Gold contacts on the cover making contact with the gold clips on the phone.
I know this might sound dumb but its a starting point.
I have now tried several simcards, the one that I'm using in my motorola at the moment that works 100%, the thing is I can also see all my contacts on the Desire, so there is no doubt that the phone is reading the sim card properly. I've tried to bend the small gold contacts slightly upwards to make sure that there is a connection, this does not produce any result either.
Here is all data that I have.
Android version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense version: 3.5
Sotware number: Android Revolution HD 7.1
Baseband version: 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
