Successfully unlocked O2 XDA II but can't make/receive calls - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi,
I've tried both the 1.5 and 1.6 unlockers and both report success. I have fitted a Vodafone sim and both the sim and network are recognised.
However, if I try making a call the screen shows 'Dialing..' then goes straight to 'Call ended'. If I try phoning the Vodafone number then it is reported as unable to connect. I have tried both soft and hard reset.
The Vodafone sim is valid and works fine in another phone (I no longer have the original O2 sim , it was on a company contract that has been cancelled).
Do I need to set anything to use the Vodafone network or any ideas on gettting this running as a phone again?
Thanks.

Just noticed that under Phone Settings it says Phone Number: Not Available...?

XDAII: Unlocked SIMlock, now no signal with new SIM

Hi
I have an O2 XDA2 with ROM 1.72.00WWE and Radio 1.17.00, and I've just used xda2unlock v2.2 to get rid of the SIMlock. It appeared to work and I'm not asked for any code when I put a new SIM in, but I get no signal whatsoever. If I put the original O2 SIM back it works fine.
I've tried a Vodafone SIM and Fresh SIM (Fresh is from the Carphone Warehouse, and I believe it uses the T-Mobile network) and it does the same with both. Any help would be much appreciated!

I think you need to TURN OFF the flightmode. Just klick in the homescreen at the symbol, where you should see the signal and waite some seconds. Now you should be able to TURN OFF the flight mode. If it doesn't work, do a Softreset.
Heh, no thats definately not the problem!
I've now sucessfully installed WM2003SE, and still no luck. I'm wondering if its anything to do with the Network options in the Phone Settings, but with the new SIM cards inserted I can't access the settings - "Unable to read settings from the network...".
This is very frustrating because after my contract finished next week I don't want to go back to O2. I thought that once I unlocked the XDA 2 all would be fine, and I can't think what is stopping these SIM cards working :-(

[Q] Defy Emergency Call Only

Hello all,
I am new here, My name is Lewis, and you all seem like a very clever bunch of people. So i was wondering if you could give me some help with my Defy.
So here we go:
I bought my Defy last week after my Nokia died, it is second hand, and was locked and branded to T-Mobile (UK). I got it unlocked a few days ago, and it unlocked straight the way with the 1st code. So i assumed all was well. After trying to send a message, i realized that it was stuck in 'Emergency Call Only'. After a bit of searching around the interweb, i found that i had to check my APN Settings. The sim card i have is with Tesco Mobile, so i found out the APN settings and all seemed fine. I have tried hard reseting the phone, but still no luck.
It is all standard, so do i have to do any flashing to get it to have signal? Thank you for your help in Advance.
Motorola Defy
Locked to T-mobile
Unlocked to work with Tesco Mobile sim (O2 masts)
4GB memory card
All default.
Edit: When I 1st put the Sim Card in, it has signal for a few seconds before reverting to emergency calls only.

I believe Vodafone are the only company that downloads the APN settings automatically. For other networks you need to phone them up and they will send the APN settings to the phone manually.
Orange sent me mine automatically as it was an unbranded phone.
Google should provide you with the answers anyway
If the phone is unbranded it should ask you the network the SIM card is on as the phone already has the APN details in it

No service?

This is a weird one.
Just bought a Desire HD, the guy said it was unlocked. It come with a Orange sim card inside. It had a signal.
I took it out and stuck my giffgaff sim card in there and it says no signal, not "network locked".
So i tried texting my mate, and it sent some how after saying that it had no signal. So sometime later i get a reply saying "Sup" from him.
It still says no signal. I tried another giffgaff sim and that also says no signal. i tried a Tesco mobile sim and that says no signal.
And somehow, without the wifi on, it downloaded a htc update.
I then tried the original Orange sim and it still works.
What the heck is happening?
Thanks

Sounds almost as if it's network locked, or that the data network is set to use orange only Settings>Wireless & Networks > Mobile networks >network operators. If that doesnt work you could always try the advanced ace hack kit (Google it, as it's no longer available on XDA) to give you super CID which will allow it to work with any network.

Ive tried choosing 02 UK as the operator and it says "Your sim card doesnt allow connection to this network"
Now, I don't get this. I'm replying to this from my Desire that says "emergency calls only" without the WiFi on and not connected to anything. What the heck????

Yes it is rooted. Well, it wasnt but it is now.
Bump.
My DHD is running:
Android 2.3.5

And it still says no signal with my giffgaff sim. But works fine with an Orange sim card.
Ive unlocked the bootloader just via the HTCDev site.
Please help...
Thanks
If you unlocked the bootloader to flash roms, relock it and unroot using the ace hack kit. It's going to save you a lot of trouble.
Regarding your giffgaff sim, no idea.
Google to see if there is a way to find out if you are actually sim unlocked.

Oh ok.
I wanted to try and flash anither radio to see if my giffgaff sim would work then, will it make a difference?

Nono..... Do not flash a different radio. Do not experiment. First find out whats up with your cell.
I edited the previous post.

Right, i have SuperCID, and that means unlocked? (hope i am right)
I shall check it again.

silly question but have you set the APN correctly ??????
noticed your already getting assisted on GG forums why do you need multiple forum assist ????
I need multiple forum assists as i dont know if it to do with the network and my sim or the phone.
The APN is set correctly, my phone shows no signal, all the time, with a giffgaff sim inserted.
But the very strange thing is that, sometimes it will let me use the internet. And i am not connected to wifi?
Ive contacted htc with my problem and they just said hard reset, which didnt change anything.
Still have the same problem...
And i cant find any solution...
Can anybody help me!?
Bump!??!?!?!?!
Have you tested a different sim on your phone? Does it work?
Have you tested your sim in another phone? Does it work?
Who do you think you should contact?
Sent from a dream.
Decided im gonna sell this DHD and maybe get another one.
No one has helped me with it so im guessing no one has had this problem. Ive tried everything, so the phone is going on ebay.

[Q] Note 2 no WIFI with SIM card in!

Hi to all, I just receive a N7100. Everything is working fine is factory unlocked but when I insert the SIM card from (CUBACEL) the WIFI stops working. How can I solve that? Thanx in advance
Try another sim
Best regards
Sifou
Using a Samsung N7100
I have been using that SIM card on iPhones of all generations, Samsungs of many kinds, Xperias, you name it. Never got any issue but ok I´ll try just to make sure...And no, same problem with diferent SIM (from the same company though)
Funny thing I tried with one from Orange and WIFI is working ok. Anyone knows what is causing this?
This **** happen sometimes, but i don't remember what causing it, whether it's the radio firmware or something else
Try to read in other forums like the S3, this problem is well known and you may get an answer.
If you do have an update, do it.
Best regards

Hey newmucha,
Here is a xda-developers thread that gives you a possible solution to your problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21406675
I installed the app, turned off wifi power saving mode in *#0011# and after that never had the same problem again. It seems that certain providers, CUBACEL in my case, have their SIM cards country code wrongly configured and this causes the wifi to crash.
Hope this helps!
