Mixed Success m1000 orange

Hi techies
amazing forum, a bit out of my depth, heres my problem.
Got orange m1000 off ebay. worked fine phone and gprs with my Orange sim but no others.
ran unlock tool second version. Now original Orange sim won't work on anything (although sim still works in old phone) Doesn't work on O2 either. But phone does work on an old t mobile PAYG. When I try orange/ o2 sim i just get "!" next to phone signal icon.
So I am looking for any solutions from some of you awesome programmers.
Other recent attempts history;
Thought I would fix it by downloading upgrade 1.66 from orange - but that just put me on the country lock "cold sweat" :shock: serial 1.06 saga. spent several days reading forum and fixed that with W4XY himupgradeut on a imateupgrade (thanks for that), then fixed this similalry to uk orange update ext rom - wow all that extra memory.
Just need help please sorting out this signal
cheers

Vodafone V1640 UK - ROM Updates

Having already used the O2 XDA, O2 XDAII and the O2 XDAIIs I have been spoilt by O2's ROM updates via their own website.
The problem I have is that by changing to Vodafone I now have no facilities via the Vodafone website to do the same. How do you update your ROM if you have a Vodafone V1640?
Would appreciate your comments

If you love O2, you can flash the O2 ROM onto your Vodafone Device without problems.
Just use the search button on how this is done.

Thank you. I am a little concerned that the O2 ROM will erase my Vodafone settings as well as conflict with Vodafone protocols. I understand that the ROMs will have the same Microsoft Mobile 5 updates but also embedded are the phone company's unique settings and addional programs.
Do you know whether Vodafone issue ROM updates and if so how do you obtain them?
Thank you for your help and assistance

Why do you want to change the rom, (is there problems with the vodafone Rom) and what other programs are on the Vodafone Rom that you would loose.
As for settings you can enter all settings anyway into any rom as far as I know.

There is nothing wrong with the current ROM. I just want to stay up to date. New ROMs normally (and I say this tongue in cheek) have improved facilities.
The O2 site does not allow my V1640 (or in the O2 case XDA Exec) to be updated by their ROM as the IMEI does not tally up as being an O2 valid product.
I guess it's back to the drawing board for my quest.

just add the number 3 right before the .html and even if u dont have a correct imei, you can access the site of O2

Thank you. I will give that a try.

Will it erase all my Vodafone settings?

All Hard Resets / Full ROM Upgrades erase everything. I believe some roms have CAB files with operator settings. Download the Imate ROM, Install, then look for the VODAFONE .CAB file in the extended ROM, copy it to PC, then Upgrade to O2 ROM then run the CAB file that you copied to the PC

XDA II upgrade

Hello, I have recently bought a XDA II Model no. PH10B, ROM Ver 1.72.00WWE, Ext Rom 1.72.181.
My questions are:
Q1: I had ext rom 1.72.187 before, Whenever I clicked on O2 Active-->Connections, it always showed the country as Germany [checked]. Whenever I change that to UK, it reboots but then comes back to Germany. I downloaded Rom from O2 official site thinking that might fix the problem. It downgraded the ext rom from 1.72.187 to 1.72.181 but did not fix the problem. I am wondering if you can help me with it.
Q2: I have been using Tesco Mobile Sim on my old D500 phone, when I bought this phone I changed over the sim, everything works except the internet. I called Tesco to find out the settings but their tech support said I cannot use internet on this phone. I know Tesco is a reseller customer of O2 and uses same settings. My question is, is there anyway I can use my XDA II using Tesco sim to browse the net?
Q3: I am downloading new ROM Windows Mobile 5 v1.60a + Ext ROM 2.20from [http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/PDAforum_posts.asp?TID=361&PN=1]
will this solve my country and internet problem?
waiting for your kind reply
Kind Regards

T-Mobile Dash/Excalibur SIM Card Error?

At random times throughout the day, my phone shows a message that reads "SIM Card Is Missing Or Is Invalid" and the phone part of the Excalibur is useless as it acts as if there is no SIM card.
I had the SIM card replaced by T-Mobile about a month ago and that solved the problem for a couple of days, but now it's back. I made sure the card is aligned right and clean.
My Specs are as follows:
Network: T-Moblie
Bought From: Ebay
Branded: Yes
Sim Unlocked: No
App Unlocked: Yes
WM 6.1 Standard (Kavanna)
Radio Version 4.1.13.51_03.07.90
RIL Version 2.002
CE OS 5.2.19700 (Build 19700.1.1.0)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone at all?

Uriel,
I'm not an expert or anything but why don't you try to use another ROM? I'm currently using EneryROM Release 50709a. Here's the link for the download:
http://www.4shared.com/file/10523122...Excalibur.html
Flash it and see how it goes. This version of the ROM is working fine for me and other members in the forum. My specs are almost the same as yours.
Tmobile
Sim-unlocked
App-unlocked
EnergyROM Series 1.0 21040 - HTC Snap based ROM ** || Build 50709a |
Radio 4.1.13.51_03.07.90
Just my personal opinion: don't buy your valuable electronics from Ebay
Good luck!

OTA Update 1.20.207.3

I just received an update for my Desire over the air. The new version number is 1.20.207.3. Does anybody know what is contained within, or where I can find details on it? HTC.com doesn't seem to have anything.

http://www.smartphonegurus.com/forums/index.php?/topic/10431-o2-go-live-with-htc-desire/
Something to do with this?

Seems to be, thanks for point that our to me ritdaw. Interestingly enough I am not an O2 customer, although this seems to be an unlocked O2 phone. I bought it direct from a shop without a contract, and originally though it was just an HTC Desire, not an O2 HTC Desire.
However, my provider is a mvno who piggy-backs on the O2 network. Maybe this explains how the phone was able to contact the O2 update server?

I bought a sim-free desire and put an o2 simplicity card in it. Not had any update though

edit. wrong thread sorry.

That's cause the update isn't for your unit - it's likely to be an o2 FW update
EDIT: also has the current radio as well...there is a 1.21 WWE ROM out now for generic handsets and is also the base for MoDaCo's ROMs (which I'm using)
