hi i have xda1 with t-mobile
it only shows t-mobile and hangs there
it shows
t-mobile
4.01.19
which rom should i use and what is the method to write that rom
Thanx in advance
Normally you should see ROM Version (in you case 4.01.19) and also 2 other Version. But I´m sure, you do not see this numbers....
I think you have flashed the wrong radiostack to your device and now you have GSM Error when you enter the bootloader....
Try this instructions:

any thing else
i ve downloaded the same rom version on my phone but still it hangs at the startup with showing
3.17.03
with no radio versions and etc.
The phone was fell down from me and it started the problem from same time.
plz give me solution it is very urgent
You may have damaged some internal component when you dropped the phone. Are you pushing resetting the phone after flashing, by pushing once in the hole under the headset socket then wait one minute and push once more.
You are saying that you have ROM version 4.01.19
If I remember correctly that ROM version can only be unlocked using the SD card method. Is it possible that somebody tried to unlock it and screwed it up?
Either way it sounds like you need a new main board for it.

Now i m gettin an error message that says "cant upgrade rsu prss ok to restart" it comes again and again. rsu upgrading was done first time with no errors but soon after it,it start giving me that message and in the startup screen it shows the previous version of radio stack which was 6.24.00. Plz tell me what is wrong that i did and how to resolve that trouble?

Could someone please provide a link to the correct unlock software I should use.
Have
xda2s
PH20B
ROM = 1.40 WWE
1.12.00
Tried a couple but none working.
The bootloader did not work.....
The installed program gave missing zta....
Many thanks in advance[/b]
Which unlock software
Do I need to upgrade my memory first for the lastest software to work?
Any ideas please.
Silence?
Can I assume that the lack of responses means that I will not get a reply due to me asking a silly question somewhere?
I have run 1.6 and it said that it unlocked the phone but then gave an error message and says,
see xdadev all unlock.log for details.
This then gives lots of answers as 00 or 0000000.
Have I unlocked it. If so, what do I need to do now?
Thanks
last one?
I am receiving a signal from t mobile.
I am on Virgin mobile payg which is on the t mobile network.
It has picked up all my settings but not letting me make or receive any calls.
All signs are that I have unlcoked the phone and it is connected to
t mobile?
HEeeeeellllppppp
??
I have reset my phone and must have previously had it set to postpaid.
However, it will not let me select prepaid which i assume is pay as you go.
For some reason it will let me chose prepaid if i select germany and not the uk?
Can anyone explain or help?
Thanks
I am planning on purchasing an MDA Vario on T-Mobile UK, however I need to use it on Vodafone UK.
I want to unlock the phone with least risk of causing any problems, or bricks as I see it more commonly termed as in this forum.
Is there a simple tool which does SIM unlock and nothing more and is it safe ? I was thinking lokiwiz version 0.1 might do that ?
Will all the new MDA Vario come with the G4 chip ? or is luck of the draw.
Please please can someone shed some light.
surely someone has done this, please please help me
I have done a straight unlock and it went fine to qtek 9100 firmware...
But:
Email and other funtions didnt work properly
Phone crashed alot
Finally the back light failed.
So about 10 minutes ago i switched back to the T-Mobile firmware.
Now everything is working perfectly and the new OS looks very nice too.
below24,
straight unlock ? -- what tool did you use to unlock ?
new OS ? -- do u mean the latest offcial T-mobile ROM ?
appreciate your input
Yes the Latest T-Mobile ROM, its from their site.
Well i have to use a piece of sortware found here, to unlock the lock on the phone so i could first flash it and that also unlocked it.
Then immediately debranded it to the Qtek 9100 ROM, which made the Device run slower (than the T-mobile one)
Not sure what it was called though probably the lokiwiz version 0.1, that was the one. Very easy and straight forward...
G4 chip MDA Vario unlocked
Got my vario today locked to T-mobile UK. And yes it was a G4 chip.
IPP/SPL - 2.21.0001
OS - 2.24.2.6
I had no t-mobile SIM so stuck my vodafone SIM in, first asks for my personal SIM password, then it asks for unlock code.
At this point I ran lokiwiz03a, which ran but never gave me unlock code, mentioned something about not being able to copy some file and it might be in use.
So I copied EnableRapi.cab to my phone and ran EnableRapi.cab from File Explorer, that went fine (message about overwrite, said yes)
Then I ran LockiwizMsl.bat from desktop while being connected to ActiveSync and there it was the unlock code.
Entered worked fine.
As regards the ROM upgrade, my main reason was to lose all t-mobile crap, but found an easier way with ZERO risk:
First time ever you startup phone it does inital setup, the last step it beings to do an install, as soon as the install starts pull the battery out, then reboot. (Important to have the battery cover off already)
On reboot you should be able to go into the phone no setup screens this time, also ZERO customizations, yes means you need to do all the GPRS, MMS etc etc setting yourself, but that I am happy to do.
Hope this helps someone.
forgot main thing, used lokiwiz03a, thanks to machinagod.
Good, im glad i could have been of assistance.
good luck in the future with it.
but the pulling out of the battery im not too sure about... :shock:
I agree pulling battery out sounds crazy, I remember reading it in a forum, thought it would never work myself, since it was a new phone i could always return in 7 days, so thought what the hell, let me try it out.
Been running one day, and everything works fine, phone is fine, wi-fi working, bluetooth and GPS, so far so good.
Trying some tweak programs now
Loving my MDA, why did i not get one sooner.
Thats what i thought, the Vario is very good, but i still think its a little on the large side and not as fast as it can be... I am really waiting for the tytn.
I have found that the firmware from T-mobile is pretty stable and has a quicker startup than the qtek 9100 firmware. however this may not be the case with everyones mobile, just me!
Could you not just perform a soft reset instead of pulling the battery out?
soft reset - you mean when the install begins ?
really not sure, guess next person can try this out and let us know.
This tool is great, file transfer it to your MDA then just click on it, it will unlock your phone to all networks, I tried it on my MDA Vario with T-mobile for an o2 sim and it works great no issues, I can use GPRS, MMS, Call waiting etc
...yes, soft reset while device installs works (of course I made a full backup with SPB-backup first)...
straight forward unlock mda vario
I receiced this logfile while executing
xdadev_all_unlock started
device=WIZA200
could not find security key for device type WIZA200
xdadev_all_unlock failed
I guess mine is already unlocked, ain't it...

best way to tell is to put different provider sim in there and turn it on.
Hello,
I just bought a new desire from an auction site like ebay, seller saying it is locked to Vodafone; I bought it since I have a sim card from Vodafone Romania and assumed stupidly that will work.
The phone seems to be from Vodafone Malta. I am saying this since there is a desktop shortcut on the phone desktop leading to the Vodafone website in Malta.
I called Vodafone in Romania and they provided the PUK code for my SIM card, but it didnt do the trick.
I got a code from one of the sites mentioned by many and it didnt work.
Then I went ahead and rooted the phone...got the gold card created, etc etc and in the end installed a new ROM (version 3.1 from MoDaCo). Even now the phone is still locked, hence I believe is something that I do not understand in terms of how phones can be locked by various operators.
Would really appreciate if somebody can help me understand how is this working?
As options, should I use a different baseband then, etc? I am a bit lost since I thought that if I am flashing the phone and install a new "neverlocked" ROM version then it will be fine. Or maybe try to flash the Vodafone UK original RUU file and then try again with the IMEI based codes as it seems like there are people getting unlocked for Vodafone in UK?
My current system looks like this:
- firmware: 2.1-update1
- baseband: 32.36.0028U_4.06.00.02_2
- kernel: 2.6.29-bravo-mck-r1
- build: 1.21.MCR.2
- software: MoDaCo custom ROM r3.1
Any clue on what is triggering the network/sim lock out of those elements? or nothing to do with this approach? What is the "part" of my phone that needs to unlock the sim card and connect to the network (maybe I can change that so it is able to connect to Vodafone Romania at least)
Thanks!
As far as I am aware the Network lock is independent of the firmware and as such this will have no effect on the lock status. The only way to unlock phones is with either the official code or a vulnerability in the firmware (as discovered in the iphone).
I have unlocked a load of iphones but when it came to the old motorola v50 I had to pay £5 to http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/ for the code. I can only say that their codes worked for me and that there are many scam sites out there when it comes to unlocking, so maybe the first ones you tried for a code were not genuine.
Hope this helps
James
What happen though if one doesnt know what is the network that the phone is locked to? I was let's say lucky to assume that it is Vodafone Malta as there was this link on the phone's desktop.
Actually my question is more around how to unlock the phone with little or no dependency on the network where the phone is locked.
I red some articles that in some cases there is a big play for the baseband as this can "dictate" the way the phone is connecting to the network, however I am just starting to look into that and it might take some time, hence more opinions are very much welcomed.
Thanks!
If I was you I would try flashing the roms as posted earlier but if you can wait then I would email HTC with the IMEI and ask who it is locked too.
Thanks so much for the suggestion with contacting HTC for telling me where is it locked...not sure if they would know this based on the IMEI, but will give it a try for sure. The thing is that I already flashed the ROM and it is still locked, or maybe I missed your point on flashing the ROMs.
No I think you are right that the flashing wont help with a lock problem but HTC Should know who they locked their phones too. I could be wrong but I think HTC do all the programming pre shipment. If anyone knows different I am happy to be corrected?
Coming back with HTC's reply to my question about where is the phone locked (provided my IMEI)
Here is the answer:
"Dear Mr.Popescu, Thank you for contacting HTC. Kindly note that your device is not SIM locked and is not network branded. Your device is manufactured for Czech Republic and is HTC branded. S/N:HT05XPL08419 IMEI:xxxxxxxx. If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again."
Funny part is that my phone looks to be branded by Vodafone Malta (just the soft not something on the case) as I mentioned about the Voda link leading to Malta's website and they mentioned that the phone left HTC without a lock and to the Czech Republic.
Anybody heard about gsm operators that are locking the phones themselves in HTC's case? If they know how to lock them, maybe someone knows how they do that and becomes easier to unlock?
Thanks for the help,
Sorin.
The IMEI could be blacklisted. You can check at this site: http://www.amta.org.au/pages/amta/Check.the.Status.of.your.Handset
Dunno how to see the IMEI on HTC phones though.. does anyone know?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Tried that link and the message is that there is no lock (reported by somebody so that the carrier goes ahead and blocks the IMEI)
Hi again mate. I am impressed HTC answered so promptly thats great news they gave too. Just so we can all be clear on the type of lock you are experiencing can you tell us or better still photograph the screen and show / tell us the lock wording. Word for word mate including all punctuation if not posting photo.
Hey, here is the sequence:
The following happens when I turn on the phone with my Vodafone Romania sim card in it:
- I am requested for the PIN code, I enter that and then move on as the PIN is accepted
- Message saying "Unlocking SIM card...", takes about 1-2 seconds
- Message on the screen: "Network locked"
- I "drag" on the screen and get to enter the code
- Keyboard is up now and message changed into "SIM Network unlock PIN"
That's all, then the code that I got from gsmliberty.net, providing my IMEI and the fact that the phone is locked to Vodafone in Malta, is not working hence here I am on the forum
found this for you mate
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-hero/119257-huge-problem-sim-network-unlock-pin.html
I know it mentions orange but perhaps its the same problem
Will definitely try to reflash with different baseband versions just to see what happens; however dont think that it will do the trick as I was reading in multiple places about the radio problem specific to Orange phones only. Of course you never know, problem is that I cant try it now as I am travelling and dont have the required info with me, but will do that over the weekend when I am back home.
Anyways, thanks a ton for the suggestions and everything, still open for more though
Hi, new info on the situation.
Came back home and flashed various older radio versions going down as much as 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2.
Same problem with the network being locked and the IMEI based code that I got not working either.
I also got in touch with Vodafone Malta asking if they can provide some help. The answer back was that they are willing to unlock the network for 50 EUR. However, even though I said yes to it, they dont want to tell me what is the procedure; they just mentioned that I should give my credit card details by e-mail and then they will tell me how to do it. I double checked about not going to some service location or sending the phone over, etc and they said that it is not the case, bu then again I am not ok to send over my cc details just like that and asked for an account where I could send the money; they replied that they will come back with that.
Well, this paragraph is just for your fun regarding the way Vodafone Malta is considering this option...cc details over e-mail...these guys are joking
Anyways, back to the issue at hand, any other suggestions about getting past the network lock if the operator changed the "normal" codes available on IMEI based providers across the web? How to override this?
Thanks!
Hi, back to square 1. After providing the IMEI to Vodafone Malta to get my phone unlocked, they replied back that the phone is not locked by them; so the whole thing with having the Vodafone Malta link on the desktop didnt mean a thing apparently.
I continued on the path laid out by HTC directly (they said that they shipped the phone to the Czech Rep.). I have a friend that has a Vodafone Czech sim card and tried it now, but it doesnt work either, so the phone is not locked under Vodafone Czech Rep either.
Any suggestion on how to proceed? Now I am very lost as I dont even know where the bloody phone is locked, as in under what network...
Thanks!
I have the same problem
i bought my phone at Montenegro T-Mobile,
asked the HTC for information about the phone giving them IMEI
the answer was exactly as yours
Tried to flash, downgrade, still have "SIM network unlock PIN"
Any suggestions
Haven't you tried asking the seller wich Vodafone is locked to?
Android on HTC Pro 2
Hi all,
