wrong radio rom updated ("no gsm")

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.

[Q] how to upgrade ROM for htc tp2 sim jailbreak

Hi all
I am using HTC TOUCH PRO2 and done SIM unlock
and now i want to upgrade for ROM update to window mobile 6.5
i have doubt that " if i upgrade to new rom version , should i again go for my sim unlocker"
Does any one tried this
please send me a solution

Here is a link to get you started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490 - read the first two threads
If your phone is cdma then make sure you use a cdma rom which can be found here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp2-upgrades/
With the sim unlocker it all really depends. I have a sprint tp2 running on at&t and i normally flash the radio unlocker whenever i task 29 before a flash. It seems that if i don't do that then the unlocker doesn't seem to work all the time.

my experience.
hi i have a tilt 2 sim unlocked, and i just upgraded the rom to the at&t last release. i feared i was going to lost the sim unlock, but to my surprise, it was untouched, im now running it smoothly. only now i need to config the data plan back, as this config was erased. any help with that? my carrier is telcel from mexico

[Q] GSM in UK

Hello Friends,
I'm going to the UK within the next two weeks for 12 days, so I'd ideally like to be able to unlock my phone, get a local sim, and use it there.
What ROM does everyone recommend/have experience using? In addition, any preference on carriers for 3G in London on the cheap?
Thanks!

SkyraiderZeus or stock. The GSM works flawlessly on SRZ since it's stock framework with Sense 3.0 perks.

RMK's Ginger Sense custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161411 is based on latest stock, and support GSM as well. Download & keep it on the mSD card just in case - debloated - and should work flawlessly.
While calling Global Support (keep their toll-free numbers handy just in case for oversea use) to get the SIM card slot unlocked, also have them activated the SIM card as a backup & turn on international calling & roaming for the device - local prepaid SIM card from abroad should be easily to setup, APN & browsing settings will load automatically or need to be changed/reconfigured.
Our oversea provider tried unsuccessfully to push OTA the settings to my unlocked device but couldn't, tech. person behind the counter ended up manually editing & changing it while I waited, took about 10 minutes at no charge.

I called to have them give me the unlock code but they said there was some sort of error and that they couldn't get the code without getting in touch with HTC (which they are in the process of doing now).
Could this be because I'm running skyraider? Should I flash back to another ROM (I'm assuming RMK's?) in the mean time in case this would fix the issue? Or is it just a genuine issue on their end, unrelated to the ROM that I'm running?

I believe you will be fine, give them a little time to obtain the unlock code from HTC. (On my last HTC Ozone (WinMo 6.x) global phone with both CDMA & GSM, VZW changed the factory unlock code so I had to get VZW to retrieve the proper code from their own database, as none of the eBay specialtists could generate it).
You shouldn't have to go back to RMK's and it will not change/fix the issues faced. Global support will have walk you thru the unlocking & reboot process, and have you make a test call once it's done to verify. Once it's unlocked, it's good for life even if you flash another ROM or do a Master Reset, etc.
I would just keep a handy oversea SIM (if available) or otherwise an old AT&T or T-Mobile SIM card around (even if it's expired) just to check things out. It's easier to do all this while you are home, and update your PRL just before leaving by doing *228.

[Q] Sim Unlock for Travel with Rooted DINC 2

So I have been googling for answers for a few days now and I can't really seem to find a straight answer. I will be in Europe this summer and have a DINC2 that I am bringing with. In order to use a foreign (non-Verizon) SIM card I have to unlock my phone. For a DINC 2 stock ROM you can easily go into settings->security->unlock sim and type in the unlock code (which I have already received from Verizon). I have rooted though and am running Cyanogenmod 7. There is no option to unlock SIM in this ROM. I found an answer online that says if you flash a stock rom then you can unlock, I have not been able to find a stock rom for the DINC 2 though (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678250).
So here are my questions:
1) Does anyone have a link to the stock rom?
2) If I flash this ROM and unlock my SIM can I restore Cyangogenmod without losing my unlock?
3) Has anyone used a rooted DINC 2 outside of the US that has been unlocked from Verizon? If so, can I simply wait until I arrive at my destination and pop in the SIM card and type in my code that way?
Any help would be appreciated!

1) Stock based ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219471
OR
Complete RUU: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c25....01.1111_NV_VZW1.92_release_225831_signed.exe
2) I think it'd work but you'll have to try it yourself. Do you have a friend on a GSM carrier?
3) I have no idea but if the unlock is permanent, I think that's what you'd do.

Flashed the stock rom, unlocked the sim, and reflashed cyanogen. Everything seems to have worked great. I guess we'll see in a week if I can connect to a GSM network! Thanks for your help

According to Verizon the SIM unlock is permanent and you will not have to enter the code again. Even after flashing roms, stock restore, etc.

In addition, andyBonestock's ROM and SkyRaider's Zeus v1.3 Sense ROM are based on stock and I can personally confirmed them to be working in a rooted & Sim unlocked DI2. As VZW customer in good standing, you call Global Support & within 5 to 10 minutes, CSR will find the 8 digits unlock code and walk you thru the steps - scroll thru the Settings and input it, press the Enter key and DI2 will reboot after showing it's unlocked (yes, it IS permanent)
For voice & SMS, AT&T and T-Mobile (and, China Mobile HK) Sim cards will work (power down, insert Sim, restart) - broadband/WiFi access will need proper APN settings, and, account will need to be provisioned for data access.
DI2 was in GSM mode, unlocked & worked fine when we're in Bermuda last month.

Thank you so much for your information. Just wondering, are you still able to use global sim? I use MROM and if I reboot my phone after flashing the SIM is back locked again

Yes, affirmatively - Mrs. L has continuously run her red DI2 on SkyRaider Zeus and GSM mode is fine. I was running SR too - it had no problem when we're cruising down in the Caribbean islands - switched off CDMA to avoid roaming & data charges on the ship and on land, used my China Mobile prepaid Sim, great for voice and Int'l SMS - no data roaming as it is NOT provisioned for and tapped WiFi @ local Starbucks - locked onto a 3G AT&T tower in Old San Juan, PR. Every now & then, it might find & stay with a T-Mobile signal, but usually the Sim card settings prefer AT&T over T-Mo.
Currently, I'm running Nit's Stock Sense v5.0.m-ext4 Rom, it's global ready - works just as good - have played with all of the new custom Roms but always finding my way back to 1 of the 3 Roms mentioned here as the default. Have Currents, Google+, Play Magazine, Play Music & SoundHound, OneNote, QuickOffice and Wireless Tether running on mine - and I get to play the latest JB 4.2.2 on the Nexus 7 WiFi tablet, so this is fine for my needs.
Heading toward the end of our 2 year contract, main/primary line will be eligible for upgrade next month but I'm not in a hurry to let go of unlimited 3G data (although my usage has been consistently under 1GB/mo, mostly 500 MB or so. Already trying to re-sign me for another 24 months with an early upgrade Email offer that I must call in for ...

I am planning the same thing: going to Europe next month with a recently rooted phone. Did you just call Verizon and they gave you a code? Did you tell them you were traveling or did you make up some sort of story? Thanks!

Also I am planning on flashing CyanogenMod very soon. I assume you would now recommend that I wait for the code and unlock the SIM before I do that, correct?

Things might've changed a bit at Big Red with the unlocking code, but not by much. First, I would strongly recommend using a near stock global Rom (Andy Bone's - the difference being that it'll stayed unrooted and 99.5% stock basically - Superuser installed.
You need to be a Big Red customer in good standing (bills are paid/current & on account for 3 or 6 months continuously) - and have a non VZW-Vodafone Sim (known working prepaid Sim from AT&T Gophone, T-Mobile, or foreign Sim for test & verification afterward) - phone should be S-off and unlocked, CWM installed if possible (so that you can make a full backup copy of your Stock Rom with APN/PRL (save it to a HDD, USB or Cloud storage)
Call up VZW from another phone line (mobile, home/office, VOIP or whatever - that they can call you back from if necessary - ie. disconnected while on hold) - from among the automated Menu option & voice prompt, select Tech Support for smartphone and/or Global Support - if you get routed somewhere else, ask them to forward to Global Support.
Give them your account info & verify, passcode and/or Soc. Sec. etc. - tell them you need to unlock the DI2 for travel and to be able to use another prepaid Sim card. S/he will read their scripts and inform you that you are responsible for charges, damages and will have no access to support - acknowledge & agree, they will ask confirm your email address & send you the written disclaimers, etc. You might be put on hold for a few minutes, do NOT hang up - make sure they have your immediate call back # - as they will need to go into their database & look up your IMEI's unlock code. Once they have it, they will come back on and walk you steps-by-steps, to go to the Start Menu and submenu, and get to the unlock screen - input the code (I believe it was 8+ digits) - and as soon as the last correct digit is entered, the screen will refresh & say unlocked. Next, exit & close those submenu, turn off & reboot the phone - whatever instructions, just follow it.
With your own "foreign/non-VZW" Sim already installed, you should be able to switch to GSM mode under Wireless & networks / Mobile neworks - and see the new "Carrier's Name" displayed and likely an (E)dge symbol instead of 3G, that is your confirmation of a successful unlock. It is permanent, regardless of switch & flashing to other Rom, etc.
That's it. Copy & flash your choice of Global Roms, unless you are planning to use the DI2 overseas or elsewhere and not using CDMA again ever, I recommend staying with one of the proven ones here - ICS/JB or 4.x ones are cool to play, but battery life is average at best - trust me on this one from personal experience while traveling. Customize & configure the Rom to your own liking - plenty of Google Play (Store) update once it is up & running as many of the preloaded Apps have been revised/updated many times since - best/fastest over a good WiFi connection - then, make both a TB backup of the Apps and a full CWM Recovery backup image - save them both to HDD/USB and Cloud Storage - mission accomplished.
For use within USA, you will have 100% working voice calling & SMS/texting with AT&T and/or T-Mo's GSM network, and 2.5G data only if your plan has data bundled as add-on, and the APN settings are auto-updated/loaded. That's about it - for as little as $30/mo - you can use this device for unlimited calling and texting, and works great when you are on broadband over WiFi. Load an offline Map like Nav free USA with maps (16GB or 32GB mSD is recommended for storage) and you can maintain turn-by-turn navigation on the go.
Any other questions, please feel free to ask and/or leave me a PM - and will try to address them as best as I can on practical usage. For technical help on specific Roms, the developers are your best friends. Good luck, enjoy & have fun.

[Q] Problem with phone already activated on VERIZON INC2

Dear All
first of all, sorry for my bad language.
my problem started when i purchased an used Inc2 from swappa, i am expert in flashing ROMs for HTC phones.
when i got the phone, i s-off, installed recovery and installed custom ROM supports GSM, as i am living outside USA, and everything was good (GSM and data)
one day, suddenly the phone was not able to get a H data, only E, so i decided to factory reset to solve the problem, i return to stock ROM using RUU, then when i turn it on for the first time i discovered that its still connected to verizon Network and gave me a roaming signal, i know nothing about verizon network or how to disconnect my phone from their service.
don't tell me to contact the original owner, because i purchased this phone more than one year ago and i totally forgot from whom i toke it.
THE MAIN PROBLEM NOW, every time i insert my local SIM, the phone switch from roaming mode (CMDA) to global mode (GSM), which is OK, but when i receive or make a call, it restarts automatically !!!!
i had tried all the ROM, RUU, radios in the development section, with no hope, so, i think the problem is occur from the conflict between CMDA signal an GSM signal!!!???!! or something else, so i guess the first thing i have to do is disconnect the verizon service, BUT HOW?? somebody please help me

any thoughts folks?

Can you post your phone's settings, mainly the ones under "About Phone" including kernel, mobile network type, service state & software information, etc.?
With a local Sim card, it is possible that you device would boot up & switch to Global Mode (by default) with preference for CDMA, but you should be able to manually change it & semi-lock it to GSM only? What happens when you tried that?
There is a # of GSM only Rom that you can flash, assuming you've rooted it again & maintained S-Off with a custom recovery re-installed - and, that it was properly Sim unlocked.

Im on GSM with chilly's beanstalk 1.30 (4.2.2) and I have no problems, check if a wipe with antivenomSDW, helps.
