hi friends.
i have diamond 2g india version. i also wanted to buy diamond 3g. a friend of mine is offering me diamond 3g which is security unlocked but am not sure if its sim unlocked. only vodafone and idea networks worked on it and not airtel. so i tried updating its radio to 1.11 and also its rom to swtos lite and now even vodafone and idea is not working on it.
that is no operator network works on it now. what do i do.? also i wanted to tell u that this model is the testing model which htc released to ppl who review the device before its launched. does it makes any difference?
also is it sure that it is sim locked and OLIPRO's sim unlocker will solve my problem?
?? help plzzzz!!
i am sorry . idk bout the 3g ... try with another 3g phone
Airtel's GSM Network frequency is different than that of Voda / Idea and BPL.
if ur device could work on voda and idea that means it is already unlocked. Just try and insert another sim and confirm that.
Also I would suggest Radio 1.08.25.20 which is quite stable.

I recently went to India and took my unlocked UK Diamond there and it worked on ALL three of those networks. I just left the network frequency/band on AUTO.

Hi to everybody!
I love this forum becouse there are a lot of kind peolple and becouse i usually found here the answers to my question
I bought a T-Mobile MDA (htc hermes, tytn) with simlock. i used the unlocker in the same way i did with the hermes of my girlfriend. Now my sim is accepted, but at home i have no signal. my operator is WIND (italy) and it can be discovered and fixed if I go outside.. At my home Wind signal is well as i can see by other phones with wind simcards. when i look for networks on the hermes, it says there are the two other italian networks (TIM and Vodafone) but not the one i need. the problem appear only with wind simcards and other sim works well. i've changed the radio rom with upper and lower, but the problem is the same. can someone help me? thanks a lot!
in the start/systems/settings/device information, what is the radio version? is it wm5.0 or 6?
now is 1.50.00.00 but before i used the lastest (1.56.70.11) with the same results. wm6 pro original by t-mobile. thanks for your attention!

looked like the italian releases comes with 1.47.00.10 so you may want to tryt hat.
i used radio rom 1.47.00.10 but it's the same... in the same desk my htc hermes and my nokia 9500, both with a Wind Simcard: the nokia fully working, the other one says "no service" :-( but my answer is why only with sim of this brend?

and you swapped sim cards?
I have two different sim by wind and i swapped them, but the one in the htc phone never works. if I put another sim, like a Tim or Vodafone sim, it works well! damn.. :-( in the same place, htc can't discover Wind Network and Nokia or other phones can (and i found the maximum signal power..)

In the phone pannel of the settings there is a bands page, make sure its on automatic.
yes both first and second options are on "auto"...
well the only thing i can think of is wind is still a growing network, link didn't work the nokia would probably pick up the E900 frequency, compared to the hermes only GSM900/1800 which is still expanding, as you said outside your house it works OK. You'd have to wait and see I guess how the expansion is going.
dear zocster, Wind is a big italian mobile company, and the same sim card in the phone of my girlfriend (the same htc hermes, t-mobile branded too) works perfectly!!! :-( do you think i should ask to an htc tech center? i'm so sad... ;-) thanks a lot for your time, and thanks to veyka too!
I HAVE A NEWS: if u use a H3G sim on my HTC HERMES (www.tre.it) my phone discover only the roaming network and not the H3G network... can this new info be useful to understand what's going on to my phone?
Hi everyone. Few days ago I bought my HT TOUCH PRO2 from Vodafone Romania. It was network locked. I had some troubles using the 3G connection and the GPS. first I flashed Hard SPL (thanks Olinex) than the last radio found on xda 4.46.25.24. same problems. I thought I have to returnit for service and I restored the original firmware and the radio found on HTC Europe website http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=0&dl_id=624 . Big suprise:
1. 3G radio works (not the best signal on HSDPA but working)
2. GPS working like a charm
3. Phone is network unlocked. I tried a Orange sim on it and it works better (I mean I have better HSDPA signal) tha Vodafone.
(PS: I presumed that the phone was network locked because it is write on the top of it's retail box (Functioneaza numai in reteaua Vodafone Romania) This phone is networked locke by Vodafone Romania. Good luck everyone.
Don't forget about Hard SPL. I am using now Energy's Rom. The best for me.
please tell us...
where you are located (what country)
who is your carrier?
are you seeing the 3g or H (high speed data icons)
when you use the rom you're talking about?
thanks!
Romania
Vodafone
I see H when is HSDPA and G when is GPRS (EDGE)
Energy ROM I'm using now

doing a quick google, vodafone seems to have some units are sold unlock by default some are not..
Vodafone UK
Hi,
I have just tried another sim on my Vodafone UK branded phone and it works !!!
I tried an Orange UK sim and it works great.
I am using the Energy ROM.
Could it be that the phone is locked only if you are using the
vodafone ROM itself?
hi guys
its like that, that vodafone is not locking rhodium... i dont know why, but i bouhgt locked & branded tp2 and was quite suprised when i put inside PL orange sim card and its working Btw i debranded it using hero lite'n'sexy rom ;]
regards
ROM doesnt have anything to do with unlocking or 3G capabilities. So if you can use different sims then that means your phone is unlocked. If you get 3G that means, your operator has 3G in that area.
What you mean debranded using hero rom?

unless of course your phone does not have the magic antenna because it's an unbranded tp2 and you're in the usa and your carrier is at&t. then even if you're in middle of manhattan, surrounded by 3g, you don't get it. right?

Yeap, strange lock... It's magic antenna issue, for sure... Did it came with a witch hat also? And a magic wand???
Hi, recently I signed up for 3. Doing that I received a Sony Ericsson phone. However, I would like to use my old HTC touch Diamond, where I have Telia as operator. The phone is unlocked but when I plugg in my simcard, the phone can not find it. As I understand, one needs a 3 ROM in order to use the diamond with 3, is that correct? Or are there any hacked ROMs that are better than 3's that one can download.
Hi,
I own a HTC Diamond and am using it with a 3 UK simcard with no problems at all. I bought unlocked and I've even been using some of the ROMs available around here. Never had any problems with any of them. I'm not an expert and I may be wrong, but it sounds like you don't have your mobile properly unlocked. Did you try any other simcard on it after unlocking it? Are you using 3 UK or another 3 network?
Location?
CDMA or 'normal' Diamond?
any original ROM can use any network
The phone was bought in Sweden at a store that sells them for any operator. I'm using 3 Sweden at the moment.
How do I check if the phone is a CDMA or 'normal' Diamond?
must be normal - CDMA isn´t used in sweden...
any actual rom should work for you......
Have you tried to connect to your network manually?
But the phone says that the simcard is not working.
Hey guys... here is a simple questions but I need your help.
Id like to buy from a friend a HTC touch pro2 with WM6.5 on it.. originally bought from Telus...
I am on Rogers...
When I put my SIM card in it... it says... SIM card isnt valid... Please insert a valid SIM Card.
Is there anything I need to do to fully unlocked this phone?
I tought that since Mighty Rom is running on it... it was fullly unlocked... but it doesnt seems to work..
Any help will be appreciated!
Regards,
Jeff
You need to get your phone sim unlocked to allow it to work on a different network. Telus can provide it or there are aftermarket ones you can use. Olinex has a sim unlocking service. You can find info on the first post of his HardSpl sticky in the rom section.
Once you have it sim unlocked it will work on Rogers but you will not get any 3g coverage as that phone has the wrong frequencies for the Rogers network.
.... 3g + with telus either
Hey InRBigness
thanks for your quick reply.
This phone isnt getting the 3g+ from telus either... I bought it before they launched the 3g+ network. So I guess its not a big difference right ?
thanks for your help and point of view about this
regards,
Hi
I bought this phone on a plan with Optus in Australia and now I'm in Thailand. I put in a new sim but I cant get any signal. the phone is unlocked as it said when I check the IMEI code in the Optus website. I'm not sure if its correct.
Anyway I suspect the problem is due to different frequency band in thailand but I am not sure. Is there anyway to know it for sure? or to try to change the frequency of the phone to try if it will work?
cheers

Tried going Settings -> Mobile network -> Network Operators and checking the settings there?
I spoke to Optus and just got the phone unlocked over the internet but I was not using the Optus sim nor receiving signal from Optus at the time they did the unlocking. would it work?
the problem still exists.
