I have a second t-mobile dash, it used to be a brick. Someone messed it up.
Luckly found a way to manully put it in bootloader 3 color mode (holding the camera button for 3-4 seconds and hit the power button), then downloaded the latesest WM6 rom from T-Mobile 1.22.531.4. Flushed succefully, rebooted and the PC part of the phone now works perfectly.
Big problem is that it can not find the T-mobile phone network. That part just keep searching... No network. Testing by plugging in a cingular sim card. Prompt me for sim unlock code. So I guess the sim slot is at least working and it's reading the sim card. Used other perople's sim card, still not working(of course the sim card still work, plugging into my old samsung phone).
The radio version is now 4.1.13.34_02.79.90 . It's way different from my other dash...I am suspecting it to be the cause. WHAT RADIO VERSION HAVE YOU GUYS GOT?
Any idea how to fix it? try with changing the radio version may be?
Thanks
Can a few people just tell me what radio version are you on?
I was wondering, would a stolen phone be locked by the carrier so that the phone can't detect network?
This item is bought through ebay so i don't know what the previous guy was up to..
Thanks
Leo
Radio version change
Come on guys, anyone?
How about if anyone would like to point me to the right direction in how to change the radio version on the t mobile dash... is it a hardware thing or a software thing.
Thanks
Leo
there is a radio updtae in the ftp :
ftp://xda:[email protected]/smartphones/Excalibur
but i don't know if this upgrade is good or not
no, this radio upgrade is no good. do not even bother..
I suggest that you flash original T-Mobile firmware to this handset. Be that WM5 or WM6 and see how you go.
my Excalibur is HTC S620, radio version: 2.63
Firmware or ROM?
Thanks guys for your reply.
SecureGSM : Do you mean the ROM for the whole WM6 software (which I have already flushed.. twice). Or a firmware like a computer bios? If there is a firmware please point me to the right direction I'll definately want to put it in.
Thanks
Leo
Hi,
I was referring to the original WM5 T-Mobile ROM. You might have a better chance with it.
Radio version 4.1.13.34_02.79.90 is provided in the WM6 upgrade from T-mobile.
Hi,
I finally managed to get windows mobile 6.1 english on my qtek.
But he still displays the error: NO GSM
So i called with Qtek & Tmobile and they said to me that i possibly updated a broken radio rom of some kind.
How can i fix this rom, i tried with a complete update thing (all three the roms). but it stuck at 99.9%. (i had it connected to the pc)
Is there another way of updating the radio?
I had the exact same no gsm problem while flashing wrong radio. Works great before with t-mobile sim card but tried to unlock sim to work with at&t and flash with the wrong radio and now this thing is brick with the no gsm problem. This uni been sitting in my drawer for several months now as a paper weight.
Hi,
Guys i really need your help.
I' am in India and i got a T mobile vario III from a local place. It was unlocked and was running on WM 6.0. I wanted to upgrade it to WM 6.1 and its similar to TyTynII in India so i googled for a serial number and hard flashed the rom with the TyTynII WM 6.1 Rom. I have a UK mobile and it every time i insert a sim card from Airtel, hutch or spice asks me to insert sim card. The serial number of this device is HT816GB03362 . This is the phone's official link: http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/sd_vario3.html.
I had problems with sound which was fixed by flashing a base Rom of kaiser and then flashing with tmobile WM 6.0 however the sim card doesnt get detected. I took it to HTC local service center and they were not able to figure it out.
I tried all the sim unlocks available in HTC but i dont know which radio is compatible with these providers.
I have a couple of websites which offer tmobile unlocking eg: http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/tmobile-vario-iii-instant-remote-unlock-p-1520.html i dont know if it will work
Changes: Everything is default and sim card is not getting detected
The screen comes with "Smart mobility" whenever i turn on the device instead of "Tmobile"
Every other function works and it has hardspl 1.0 oilmod installed
I also tried to flash with the original tmobile 6.1 ROM on this device but the sound doesnt work
If anyone can point me to the right direction or let me know how to get this fixed i will be greatful
Hey guys, since vodafone UK OTA Desire HD from 2.1 to 2.2.1, users cannot switch to GSM only anymore (this option is disappeared from the network mode). I noticed that not only Desire HD, but sumsong's 2.2.1 has the same situation as well.
Voda UK says that this issue would be fixed in the next release (2.3). Its been a loooooong wait and finally we got the leak 2.3 RUU. However, after tried all the custom ROM downloaded from xda, this problem still exist. I found that sumsong fixed the issue in their 2.3 rom already (says voda UK blog).
So.... does any one know which file should I modified to fix the "missing gsm only" problem?
Thank you.

I'm not too sure if there's a fix for this problem (seems to be another case of Network operators being too restrictive over phone functions). As a temporary measure, you could always type *#*#4636#*#* into your dialer (Special Testing Menu).
From there, if you go to Phone Information and scroll down to Set preferred network type, you can change the option from there. I believe by default this is WCDMA preferred, so its just a case of changing this to GSM only
Hope this helps
Thanks Ashley.
I know I can use *#*#4636#*#* to switch the network mode but its very annoying to do so every time. The funny thing is, the gsm mode appears if I put a SIM card from other country's carrier and roam the network via voda AU.
I suppose its a bug because voda claimed that the new galaxy S 2.3.3 rom fixed the issue though

That does seem a very strange bug. Did the SIM card in question that you have problems with come with the phone?
As it seems a compatibility issue between that specific SIM and the phone and I was wondering if its being detected as a 3G SIM? Are you able to achieve 3G connections?
Also, is the Network Type option greyed out in your phone settings, or completely missing?
It's a brand new SIM card and it works fine under old ROM (2.1). When I used the RUU_WWE_1.35, I can switch between the three options and I can still make a phone call when I switched to GSM only mode. 3G network works fine to me as well if I switch my phone to WCDMA only.
After updated to 2.2.1 or 2.2.3, the GSM only option disappeared from the Network mode.Specifically, when I open the Network mode, it only shows WCDMA only and GSM/WCDMA auto. GSM only is not grayed out, its just not shown in the Network mode anymore.
I borrowed my friend's SIM card (which is Vodafone AU as well) and it shows the same problem in my DHD.
Fixed!!
Ok. I know what caused the issue here. The APN setting for Vodafone AU includes MCC:505, MNC:3, which makes my phone cannot chose GSM only mode. I decompile the Phone.apk and modified the arrays.xml file in the values-mcc505-mnc3 folder to add the GSM only mode back.
After I flash my modified Phone.apk back to DHD, I get the GSM only mode back again!!

Hey linus, I was just searching for the same thing...
I'm using Leedroid's GB ROM (2.2.3) and missing the same option. Was fine on FroYo.
Are you able to share or link your phone.apk? I'm so hanging to get this option back as it's saved me a few times when I can't get good 3G coverage. Also reduces battery consumption...
Probably silly question, but is it possible to change the APN settings or something esle to acheive this without changing the apk? I'm just thinking of future ROM releases.
Hey Linus,
As above any chance I could get a copy of the phone.apk. I'm having the same problem too and it's a bit annoying... Cheers
cannot switch to GSM only
Hi there,
Got a SGS2, that I am pretty happy about, BUT
I miss the option saying "GSM only". According to every manual I see, it should be there.
GT-I9100
4.1.2
I9100NELS1
Would your phone.apk work for me as well..?? If, please mail it to me [email protected]
Cheers
Hi all!
I rooted my desire, and flash with last Runnymede007Mod ROM.
very nice, only a little slow.
my problem is that always appears notification box when turn on screen " UICC is not registered. Please visit nearest KT shop".
What means?
Can I do something to delete this notification?
thanks all.
I have a Italian 3 sim.
uicc
There may be 2 causes :
1) the rom installed has problems with the radio
2) the sim card is damaged
You should try a different ROM and if the problem persists request your mobile
operator to change your sim card.
Hi,
yhanks for your reply.
I will change the rom, I think I will try Revolution.
How I can see wich version of radio I have?
