Yesterday my HTC Excalibur stopped receiving calls, text messages and would not make calls.
I turned the phone off, took the battery and SIM Card out, put it in 5 minutes later hoping it would work again, it did not.
I did a reset of the phone (accessories, clear storage, 1234), that did not work.
This morning I tried swapping SIM cards with someone else (to see if was the service provider). Both SIM Cards worked in my friends Sony Ericsson but neither worked in my HTC Excalibur.
I have the 3V0 Windows Mobile 6.5 installed.
Is there a way I can fix this?

No, I don't know how.
The phone came with it installed. I bought it new, but the seller installed WM 6.5 before shipping, so it's more like open box.
How long does it take? Should I leave that as a last resort?
Is there anything I can tweak on my phone right now?

Where can I find the most up to date and fastest Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM?
EDIT: OP shared more info related via PM, thread re-open.
As I sent you via PM, hard reset or reflash your device. If that doesn't work get a new sim from your carrier since it can be network related.

reflashed to 6.1 but still no luck.
Again I tried another working sim from the same carrier, both sims work in my friends phone, but neither work on my s620.
I'v been in contact with jockyw2001 for his Excalibur Sim Unlock.
I just don't understand why I have to pay someone for this, I just bought the phone less than a month ago and it's been working perfectly.
How did this happen? How did my phone get locked?

Yes, the phone radio is on.
Now sometimes it says Rogers Wireless rather than searching.
But when I call someone, it does everything but complete the call. It just beeps twice and says 00:00.

That's the last resort my friend....when a doctor doesn't know what the patient has...he opens to see what's the problem .
This is something that you do it at your own risk, maybe you have some dirt inside that needs to be clean.
Good luck,

Hey guys,
I am now able to send texts. But I can't receive texts, make calls or receive calls.
any suggestions?
I filed a claim on eBay. That seems to be the best option.

no. i alwas want to try it. but i have not try yet.
Yes I have it installed but I have only tested the SMS Requests and I received back a SMS with the gps co-ordinates.
me too, just installed today and SMS reporting was working, GPS not tested because i was in a building...everything else seems to run fine.

It just sent a SMS with the text "Unknown SIM Card" when the "wrong" SIM was insert. Just installed the cab, set up the SIM-Monitor and it was running.
Did you also add another number where to report ? Will test GPS option and report back. Cheers
Edit:
This tool is sooo coooooool, it's running perfect, sending me GPS coordinates and does everything i want!
Send SMS with password and command - Just enable Remote monitor, and enable everything
Examples:
Pass phrase = zlo, RMon enabled, GPS and MsgBox commands allowed
If you want to get GPS coordinates you should send next SMS message:
zlo +g
If you want phone to display message box you should send next SMS message:
zlo +m preved!!!
To perform both task simultaneously
zlo +g +m preved!!!

The same to me It send a SMS with the text "Unknown SIM Card" when the "wrong" SIM was inserted.
I tried about 1 month ago.
as i remember it worked perfectly. (i wanted to cook into my rom but i did not have time for it.)
the GPS lock was very slow, but maybe because i was standing next to the window not outside.

Hey Rambo,
I don't understand what's exactly your problem, sorry....
For me it was running as expected. After reading the readme everything was doing the way it should. I just added my SIM as allowed and a friends number to report to.
Then i put in another SIM - my friend got an SMS with the number.
Now he was able to reply with my password and command (for example: +g) - one minute later he got an sms with the coordinates. Everything works really fine on my device, and he could ask for the coordinates whenever he wanted - he always got an answer.
Cheers

Hi,
I have thought about using this but is part of its usefulness is hopefully to prevent anyone using the phone with another sim. I know it may tell you where the phone is as well.
That leads me to my question. Does it prevent a scummy theif going into bootloader and romming the phone, thus bypassing any lock?

I am not an expert but from the forum,i read u can put it in extended ROM so,can't be ROMMed.
hi
this is probably a stupid question, the last time i did any rom updating was with an old UK SDA II to some imate rom.
ok,
i recently purchased a used BT s620 phone which is locked to BT.
do i need to get it CID unlocked and SIM unlocked??- ive already got it application unlocked.
how much would i be looking to pay in order to get it CID and SIM unlocked??
the reason i ask these questions is because in KAVANA's post it says the wizard does all the unlocking?? does that mean i wont need to do any CID and SIM unlocking??

you are correct. Kavana has built in the Jump SPL CID bypass function so it bypasses "reading " the CID when installing the ROM and you dont' need your phone to be SIM unlocked to install it either.
I'm also a BT user and flashed with Kavana Ricky Remade, just follow the instructions, Hard Reset s620 before, no need for any extra software, the only problem i have is MMS doesn't work but then i never have used MMS.

eT9.cab sets the uk keyboard layout, some of my layout are not correct don't get :;
Follow the instruction on link.
There is also a bit on the Kavana thread about this.
I still get the beep when the screen goes out as the wi-fi disconnects, just turn the others off through choice, i hate phone noises.
Except obviously the noise of my Pendulum ringtone and the classic WM text tone.
DUDE!

which one is it??
you got propane nightmares yet??
oh yeah- i figured out how to get rid of the wifi beep with an ingenius idea.
ill post you a link of my thread.
Visions as it always get's me going.
The new album is ace "Samey samey with more vocals"

well, i know the file- ding.wav
ive found it in the windows folder of the fones memory.
my theory was just to replace it with an empty silent ding.wav (attached)
but i cant edit the read only files i just found out- or can you? maybe a different file editor.

I thought that was the idea, use Resco Explorer find the file in question check properties "action/properties" to make sure not protected read only & copy over it. "Keep a copy of original sound just in case"

Hi, first time poster, short time reader (Hey, only had the Dash for a week). Previous phone was a Q on Verizon.
Kavana image is wonderful and saved me from wanting to throw my Dash (with T-mobile image) against a wall.
Quick Question: Is the Dash Sim unlocked because we replaced the ROM? Or is it still carrier locked?
It's still locked.
Call your provider and ask for the unlock code.

hi,
did u find other providers or is the list completely empty ?
try the following 3 points of success
1)just try whether you can make a emergency call
2)hold your diamond to a speaker in your near and listen whether there is a strange noise(turn on the speaker loud)
3) if you had another pda try the sim in the device
post the results....

2) i do hear a strange noise when i turn the volume up
3) i put my sim in my old n95 and it works just fine
its like my diamond is not even detecting my SIM card, i put my friends AT&T SIM in it and it doesnt detect that either

holy potatoes i dont know what i just did but it worked!!! i put the SIM in my old N95 and it found the t mobile network. i sent some messages, made some phones calls, then put the SIM back in my diamond and it found the network!! wow thanks a bunch for your help bro, i cant thank you enough
okay scratch that it worked for a little bit, until I started installing some apps and had to restart my phone, now it cant find a network again when it booted back up. Is it the apps that im installing that might be causing this?
no man i dont think so...
i think that was a mistake by the sim or by tmobile self (i think if they have any problems, they didnt say anything to their costumers )
if you have the possibility to go a little bit away from your home, for example into downtown then do this and test if u get there a signal.
i live in vienna - austria. vienna has 23 districts - when i had this terrible problem - at least in 7 disctricts i became immediately a signal and in my own district i became to no time a gsm signal (or more accurately described - i became a gsm sigal after 5-10 minutes waiting time (every time i turn off and turn on the phone, always i had to wait about 5-10 minutes) then i could make calls but no internet connection was possible. but in the other 7 disctricts where ive been, all works fine

thx - i do what i can
but i dont think that the problem is gone - you will see - it wont work long. i signal must be there - it should does make no matter whether the battery is - not load - half load or full loaded. it must always work! at 1% of battery it works on my device - it is impossible that that is the problem of you. go to the next tmobile store and let change your sim card - or make it like me - just wait 4 days - hope tmobile have fixed their problems - and be happy if it works.
otherwise it was a hardware issue and you have to send it back to tmobile for repair. but if you do this you must restore the stock software... otherwise you lose your guaranty!!

oh i forgot to say in the first post that my diamond is unlocked, im just using t mobile as my carrier on it but my phone is not locked to any network. so im not sure if its t mobiles fault but just my phone. My SIM card worked fine right away when i put it in my N95 8GB, but my diamond did not pick it up right away when i put it in. I had to plug in my charger first then a few seconds later it found a signal. Not sure why it did that, maybe just needed a little boost to grab that signal or something. Could it be the ROM or Radio I am using?

I had to plug in my charger first then a few seconds later it found a signal. Not sure why it did that, maybe just needed a little boost to grab that signal or something. Could it be the ROM or Radio I am using?

ok, then send it back to htc, or bring it to the store back where you bought it.
but do this only if you really see no more chance to fix it...
remember what i write, i try my sim in a nokia 3310 and it works, a few seconds later in diamond and 2 other pda's i got no network - back in nokia and it works i dont know how this could be possible!!!
i also try 5 different roms and all radios that exists too - and with all was the same - just nothing.
its your choice my friend - be patient and hope for better times or send it back to repair. but then also upload the original htc rom, radio and spl
i go now sleep - at vienna its 23 o'clock iam verrrrrrry tired from a hard working day...
but post further results, i read it tomorrow...

thanks so much for your help bro, ya every time i unplug it from my charger it loses its signal, so i have to keep it charged just to talk on it or text. so i think i am going to have to send it back to htc for repair as i dont really know what is going on with it. thanks again man, really appreciate the help
same here
i have a very similar problem.
i can only make and receive calls on the wcdma network, but not on gsm.
in both, it says that i have reception, but when i try to make a call it just goes silent and after a while the call is ended.
if i dial *102# which is the number to access your mobile credit status, on wcdma it opens a little bubble coming from the network icon and says the correct values, on gsm it simply waits and says connection interrupted.
i have tried several roms and radios, and the problem persists...
you can view my current setup in my signature.
any ideas, what could be the problem? is it the hardware? does this have to do something with hungary?
the sim works just fine, since 1997 (i have no idea how can 3g work on this little baby, but it does) =D
any help appreciated! tx

hi,
i was really wondering why this strange problem happens now on more and more users... thats really interessting....
did you try the sim in a other phone?
if it there also not work -> go to a store from your provider and told them that u have a old sim card which not works with your current phone.
normaly they should give you immediately a free new sim card.
and please tell me whether you have tmobile as your provider.
just for info because you write, that u can use 3g.... when i recieved my diamond i also had an old sim card which doesnt support UMTS or 3G but HSDPA was working, that cause because the sim is not responsible for this communication mode - only your phone!
the problem the guy has in this thread is almost exactly what i am experiencing right now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409733&highlight=network+problem
except mine used to just keep restarting an wouldnt boot up so i just let it do that for about 10 min and it eventually loaded up. Is there a specific number I can dial that will reset my SIM card settings or something? My phone has been like this for a couple days now and it sucks not being able to call or text anybody.
I thought I solved this problem when I plugged in my charger to my phone, then it started finding the EDGE network but my signal was still being dropped when I made calls, only some text would go through and thats it. Please guys, somebody save me from this misery!

Okay, nope not fixed... Flashed it with 1.37, connected to the network for a few seconds, dialed somebody and no ring or anything, but when i called my phone i could hear my own voice. So I guess i have to send it in for repair. Damn.

at this bad time i also restore to stock rom 1.37 and he found in 1 second a signal BUT then it was also impossible to make an internet connection...
ya i was starting to think it was tmobiles problem until I put my friends AT&T SIM in and it was doing the same thing. It would just say "searching" and thats it, and well I just charged up my phone to almost full battery and it located a signal again. But it still drops calls almost immediately and I can only send text. Does the 1.93 ROM do anything to the Radio or antenna because it has been like this even when I flash back to earlier ROMS and radios. I am almost sure that flashing or changing radios will not solve the problem because I have done that countless times already.
i got the sim unlock on my dash, but the sim unlock just worked for three days, but then i dont know what happened and i dont get signal, i tried to change the ROM and that doesn.t work, so please if you can help me.
thanks (sorry for my english)

Try running Connection Setup it should be under accessories.
If you are using AT&T select that network.

i already did that, and that didn't work
the phone recognizes the sim card but doesnt want to recive signal
Try a different SIM, also if on contract phone up your carrier and request a new sim card you'd be suprised they do get naffed and the timing may just be a coincidence?

make sure that your phone is unlocked and try reflashing the ROM that's all I can think of.

Have you check out airplane mode is off? or the phone cellular radio on? That's on your comm manager options.
i already check the airplane mode, also a tried with another sim card, even simcard of anothers carriers and nothing
External Antenna??
Have you hooked it up to an external antenna lately? If you have, it may not be reconnecting to the internal antenna because of the adapter used.
Ditto. The first 2 Dash's I had went through this same problem. I used an external antenna and adapter when I was back home. Both of them stopped receiving signal. I thought it might be the ROM, so I reflashed the original T-Mo Rom, but to no avail. I even flashed other ROM'S from this site, and that didn't work. Finally after returning 2 devices, I finally figured it out that it must be the antenna. (although on the 3rd Dash the power button stopped working,so T-Mo swapped it out for a BlackBerry)
I urge you, if you can, DON'T use an external antenna. If you must, use very carefully, and avoid hitting underlying circuitry when plugging/unplugging the adapter. I think thats what happened to mine.
I am not saying you are using an antenna, it just sounded so similar to my prior problem. The only thing I can tell you, if reflashing doesn't work, call up your provider and ask for a replacement. If you don't have a provider, through whom you have means of replacement, I would check if internal antenna or radio circuitry is still good.
Good luck. Let us know outcome.

Try flashing a stock ROM which can be found here:

See if that works, good luck!
Phone arrived yesterday for my partner and after a lot of fun and laughs with the the update bootlloop ,it just gets better.
After fastbooting latest Elephone rom from Needrom,everything works well except I can't phone.Put in my Virgin T-Mobile sim ,not detected,so cut down a nearly year old Asda freebie mini sim from EE,still not seen.Both working well in My Doogee Dagger 550.Have heard some having problems with Virgin, but this phone should be ok .
Thinking of trying another rom ,tried Eragons did not put a sim card in, but thought partner would prefer more vanilla rom.
Any help please as partner going through a very trying time at mo,mum not well.
Any help please,never seen this before,just blank in both sim holders when sim card inserted .Presume even if wrong sim for phone it would show something.
Seems it may be hardware?
Wow problem solved ,reflashed rom again ,still not there read about disabling all added apps and on power on jab volume down button and sim know seen .
Relieved an understatement,and now to bo bos well after drinky poos.

Hi morrig. Please can you be more specific in your steps here? How do you disable all apps and in particular, at which point do you 'jab power down'? All I get is the Chinese recovery bit :/
I have successfully managed to revive my phone using the '909' ROM but like you and many others, my SIM isn't being detected in either slot.
It's a frigging shame really. The P8000 is a great phone in my opinion let down by shoddy developers and lousy customer service. I hope Elephone get it sorted soon.
Cheers

Have'nt a clue why it worked initialy,lost sims again.
Only work round was to flash Elephone rom 7/25 which has the right kernel to support sim,then flashed recovery and intalled Eragon rom.
Then found yesterday morning that after on charge all night battery nearly flat,partner(whose phone it is) was spitting blood.
Problem fixed by wiping cache,then charged well.
Cracking hardware and value,rubbish software, thankfully being solved by great developers.

I'll give 7/25 a crack and see how I get on. I'm not doing so well at the moment but still hopeful.

Out of curiosity, assuming you're using Windows, which version are you using?

EXCELLENT! Cheers morrig! 7/25 does indeed return the use and detection of sim. Thanks very much :good:
That;s weird.. I have a similar issue.
Been trying out a bunch of ROMs - well, Nexus and Eragon and Stock.
Nexus won't detect my SIMs at all and the other 2 detect them but can't make a call (can send a text oddly enough... not receive though).
Something to do with IMEI not being picked up.
I flashed 7/25 using SP Tools but no joy.
I did use:
http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-3088-1-1.html#.VksvG_nhCHs
.. that to manually put the IMEI in but it's a bit odd.
Just gonna try Eragon 6.1/Philz and that weird IMEI 'fix' and see if it works.
It'd be nice if I could just stick the Nexus ROM on and everything worked...

Great danes,you buy a smartphone to use mainly as a phone and without it working its nearly useless.
Did you use Win 7 to flash ,very easy to install MTK drivers ,tried everything on Win 10,did the restart with digital signing,noticed that on Win 7 had two digital signing yes or no yet only one in Win 10.Think thats why couldn't get Win 10 to install drivers properly ,yet others have,maybe because I'm on build 10586?

I used the rom on Needrom,no problems and never bother using nvram backup on install of new rom on my DG550 or the Elephone.
http://www.needrom.com/download/p8000/
Just to add don't try Eragon 6.1 its beta and some have sim problems ,use 5.9.2,that's the one that works.
Yeah, I've installed 5.9.2 now.
Basically, I put in the IMEI manually, used *#*#4636#*#* to enable the radio and the 4G works now. I can make and receive calls.
However, I can't RECEIVE texts (standard SMS). I can send them but not receive.
Why do you think that would be?
