Develop Bugs

New XDA User - Massively confused.

I'll try to keep it short.
Lost T-Mobile PDA. Bought an unlocked (I assume) AT&T SX56 off EBay.
Will not Active sync. Don't know why.
SIM will not register. Also asks for 4-8 char password which I do not have.
Phone recognizes T-Mobile Signal, but ignores SIM. Says emergency calls are possible, but I do not want to call 911 to check.
Lots of XDA software is already installed and operating.
So for those are the main issues. Hope this is the right area to post.
Looked around for answers for a couple of hours, with no luck.
Any suggestions?

Ummm As far as i know the xda's software blocks anything but O2 simcards.
I think the answer is to wipe the Xda's data, and install a non-branded verson of windows mobile '03.
I'm sure theres one on this forum somewhere, or someone will know where to get one.

Have you tried unlocking your device? Look here...

Hope it works!

Issues with HTC Fuze ( Touch Pro )

Hey All
i am using HTC Fuze also known as HTC Touch Pro from At&t. I am not using at&t service anymore and i have some issues with the phone.
1. First one being that I am not able to use Internet Explorer and Opera through Edge/GPRS. All the softwares i have installed work, using edge, but i am unable to browse when i try to use Internet Explorer or Opera. It gives an error of Page could not be found. I am using Telenor Edge Services in Pakistan. If i connect thru wifi, then only am i able to browse thru these two softwares.
2. Secondly there are a few custom At&t icons like Mall, Music, GPS which dont work mainly due to i aint using at&t netwrok. so they seem to be useless for me. I want to get to noe a way by which i can get rid away of them.
3. GPS doesnt even work , i installed a few softwares, they do work but they usin my data plan. Whereas i guess GPS should work directly without a data plan isnt it?
I am a memeber since the last 3 4 months i guess, and i waas going thru modifying section, and i found a few ways of changing the rom, but when i checked the methode it seemed to be difficult, and in the end it would be written do at ur own risk lol which made me stop doing it lol ! I just need guidlines on how to change the rom version, and if i change the version will it overcome all these issues? I aint so good at it, I used to have P990i SOny Ericsson, and i was master o funlocking and flashing the phone, but i am having difficulties using this HTC Touch Pro.
I would really appreciate if someone of you could help me solve the problem.
Thanks

Is there anyone who would help me with my problems solution?

Rudegar is correct!! Read the Touch Pro forum for your answers..... You will need to unlock it and get rid of the AT&T Rom to get any real performance from it. Also, you will need to find out your carrier settings and enter them in manually.....The forum will show you the way...... Later

need help with my htc s621

hi;
need help with my htc s621, was using it in Vancouver/ Canada;
couple of mounts ago used a service here to unlock it and was able to use it in Iran while I am staying;but with some problem;
on regional/Locale there is no Iran in the country list, there is problem that I think it is related to it;
when I make a call using the keypad, the call will be ended so it won't make a call, but if i save the number into the phone book and call the number from there; then it works, to mention that I changed the locale to Sweden, because this way at least i can make a call from phone book, and when I get a call can not return the all using the number, because it will add the country code to the number, so I have to enter into phone book and remove the country code then be able to use it.
anyway I can make this work?
some kind of ROM update ?
I have searched many local shops here, but there are other models of htc around but not excalibur to get some help;
appreciate any help;

Welcome to forums
have a deep read here:

Reflashing to a newer ROM could help your problem (which I don´t understand quite well)
Good luck,

Hi,
I am also in Vancouver although my phone is a T-Mobile Dash that I got on eBay. You really have a different problem here. I assume that you are using an Iranian SIM card when in Iran and not your Rogers/Fido SIM.
Another guy I work with has a Rogers s621 and even though I unlocked and flashed his ROM for him (originally to the Kavanna 6.1 and now to the EVO 6.5 ROM) he had trouble on trips to China with his China Mobile SIM which itself needed to be unlocked to use it. He ended up buying a phone over there instead.
I assume you are still using the Rogers 6.0 ROM, which is better than the T-Mobile but far behind either of the two I listed above. I would flash to Ookba's 3VO ROM, it is really great and runs beautifully. But follow the direction to the letter, don't skip any steps. I have no idea if it will solve your particular problem, but even if it won't you'll be a lot happier with the phone using it here in BC.
Here is the link to the ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718

Thanks for the replies guys;
I will do some reading and will upgrade to see if it will become better or not;
yes I still have the Rogers 6.0 ROM; and use an Iranian SIM card;
I wonder if I upgrade and then some problem occurs is it possible to downgrade to what I have, perhaps a way to backup the ROM I have.
Thanks

As long as you follow the instructions on my previous post al should be ok, but in case it fails you can always go back and install another ROM, but believe me if you install any new ROM (6.1 or 6.5) you´ll be so happy that you won´t want to go back

OK;
I did install the new ROM (EVO 6.5 ROM);
it is very nice, I like it but the name of my country Iran is missing in this version also,
by the way I believe this ROM is application unlocked, I wonder why I can not install any application on it;
I searched online and found couple of free apps fo wm 6.5 but it won't be installed. I have not got any error or something.
some of the apps will go half and some up to the end but I don't find it anywhere.
any idea why?
if anyone has installed an application on htc s621 using same ROM please provide a name and a link to download if possible.
appreciate your help.

I don't know if this will help, or whether you have already tried it. You would probably have to do this while in Iran with the Iranian SIM card in the phone. Try entering your settings menu, All Settings > Phone > More > Networks > Menu > Preferred Networks. Scroll down to see if your Iranian network is shown with all the other international choices.
I have no idea how this list is generated, I assume it is by Rogers/Fido here in Vancouver. But you may have a political problem on your hands rather than technical. Are the sanctions against Iran reaching to some organization of cellular providers and the Iranian carriers are being blocked by them from being on the list? I don't know the answer, you would know a lot more about what is restricted in Iran (from within or without) than I would.
In any case, good luck.

OK; Here is what append with my phone;
I upgraded to 3VOLUTION series to see if the dialing problem will be solved or not, everything was OK after installation no errors or something, but as for the calling, as my phone had problem calling out using keypad, now this time after upgrading to wm6.5 my phone could not dial from phone book either,
so practically useless phone, it could only receive calls.
I searched for a solution online , did not find any answer, looked around phone shops here in my city, until I found a guy that said he can make it work, he had a box so in less than 20 minutes did something and phone start working properly, I can make a call from keypad and phone book no problem,
and in the location status the country of Iran is not listed either I am not sure what he did using the box.
I did asked the guy if I upgrade or downgrade WM can the same thing happen again, he was not sure.
I am thinking of downgrading to 6.1 since there are not much application found for 6.5.
but I don't want to pay the guy again for the same thing.
does anyone know of this things?
what he actually did with the box that can not be done without it?
appreciate any help

upgrading an unlocked phone to W6.5

Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before but i HAVE searched for this in the forum but couldn't find anyone with the same question..
i have an unlocked orange HTC Touch Pro 2. There is an official Orange W6.5 ROM upgrade from HTC's website and it is the one that is supported with my serial number..
my question is, will i "lose" the unlocking (and therefore the device will be locked to orange sims again) if i upgrade my rom? or will that not be affected?
thanks

answer
ok so since noone answered and i had downloaded the update and couldnt wait any longer to try it out, i went ahead and did the update..
for anyone who has the same question as i had, i now have wm6.5 all went well, 10min update, no problems at all. sim is also still unlocked and all works well

too late now no slowness at all.. very responsive. i actually had the mobile for just 1 day before this update so i might not be able to tell any difference in speed but it seems to have remained exactly the same in my opinion.. in the 'today items' settings, it says 'HTC Sense' but it seems like a colorfull TouchFlo3D to me XD weather gets your location and shows you the weather on the home screen under the clock. 'start' menu and other menus like settings are now in honeycomb style..
still getting used to it and discovering new stuff but so far so good

as far as i know you will lose any installed apps, any files, messages, contacts etc that are stored on the phone.. so back-up all you need on the flash card before you do it.. software will probably need to be re-installed afterwards though..

Yes you will lose everything that is stored on main memory

Thanks for that...i guessed as much.
Leadign on from that...I can no longer conect via usb cable....hasnt beening working for about a week....wont activesync either.
Been using the charger that came with the phone...and it started to play up..ie had to fiddle with cable to get the charging light to stay on.
also have two desktop cradles for the TP2 and they work fine charging but no usb...any setting on the phone / tweak that can be done...any reset that may help....have obvuiously switched off and on and even left battery out for 10 mins...help !!!

I am facing a strange problem RE Unlocking

Hey guys, this is an extremely time-sensitive question!
I'm leaving the country in the next few days for about 5-weeks.
I did all the background necessary tasks ensuring my Telus-Branded HTC Desire will function properly while overseas.
I ordered my unlock code from MobileinCanada, I have purchased one from them before in the past aswell.
However, this time around, the unlock code doesn't seem to hold. It said that the device is unlocked successfully, however, I still cannot choose a network or make an outgoing call.
Rebooting the device simply asks me to put in the code again and the cycle then repeats.
I was wondering if it can possibly be ROM related? If I were to get off CM7 and head back to something more stock... would the phone unlock properly? Or is the problem in the code I was given?
Thank you SO VERY MUCH!

Search for a topic called similar unlock utility. Its in one of the Desire forums. If that works, get your money back.
