Hi guys,
as much as i am an advancer user when it comes to doing stuff on android devices that with winMo i don't know what to do. I have read twice the reference thread with all the instructions but i am still lost, i don't understand everything. If someone could direct me to a IRC chat where someone could guide me step-by-step or someone is willing to spear some time and stay with me on a GTalk that would be awesome. Either way please direct me to someone, or a place where i could get a live help.
Thank you all in advance.
Regards
Kirior
You haven't even asked a question here.
What are you trying to do?!?
uh Sorry
I am trying for the first time to change my ROM. I could read about HardSPL but in the guide there are something about some tickets from htc and some files from Microsoft website. Should i download it on my PC on my mobile how to flash it what to do with those files and this HTC thing. Generally how to bite these things. Do i have to be plugged in USB or no and so on so on.
I read it twice but i am still confused

HSPL you flash from ActiveSync. So get the phone sync'd, then run the HSPL installer (make sure you get the right one for your device!!)
Then, once you've flashed HSPL you can flash any ROM - either via SD or USB/ActiveSync.
ok that clears things up. Now the HSPL i get from htc website? and on the tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540 it says to download a file If you have Vista or Windows 7, update WMDC to v6.1 *HERE* first do i download this to my phone or pc and flash it with active sync?

Flashing via ActiveSync with USB Lead (thanks to OliNex)
1. Download HardSPL package from *HERE* and extract to an empty folder

You should probably go back to that thread and try clicking the *HERE* link...
Honestly the "Flashing via ActiveSync with USB Lead" is really quite straight forward.
yes i got that part now, i guess i must be tired so the information didn't go to my brain as they should.
I got the HSPL now successfully and would like to ask you a question.
What ROM would you recommend? I am currently browsing the thread with all the ROM's, as well as each separably.
Thank you very much for your help and mainly patience.

np, as with anything new take it slowly, one step at a time...
Anyhoo, I like EnergyROM - but I don't really use WinMo anymore. I love Android too much . I use the Titanium version of Energy so I can quickly get into Android. That's all WinMo is for me anymore... a place to launch Android.

Did you unlock the SIM slot?
I know on the RHOD400/500 there's a SIM unlocker tool. I don't know if it applies to other RHOD's or not...
Update:
"Q6. Is there a SIM Unlock tool (or any other kind of paid service / hack) available to make this phone compatible with the US GSM service providers?
A. YES YES YES! Olipro and Cmonex have made this happen for real. Works with all CDMA Rhodiums."
Only applies to the CDMA RHOD's it seems. The GSM-only variants shouldn't need the SIM slot unlocked in any way shape or form.
hi
so does that mean that i will be forever unable to receive and make calls?
I have tried with my o2 UK sim card and funny enough i have a data connection but not signal. I can browse internet and stuff but cannot make any calls. With my 3UK card i have nothing. No data No phone calls. Is there a way to fix it or i basically just **** my phone up by taking simlock off?
I got it on ebay and it was locked to Orange. Before i flashed ROM i put my sim and entered the code to unlock the sim. If that was a mistake is there a fix or patch to help me out?
Please help me.

So this is a GSM-only RHOD? RHOD100 I'd guess?
If so, there's no reason to unlock the SIM slot on the device itself AFAIK. You would only need to unlock the SIM card itself.
I'm by no means an expert here, but based on what I've read the only SIM slot that needs unlocking or is even unlock-able on the RHOD is the CDMA variants (which both have SIM slots for GSM as well).
Sorry, maybe someone with some more knowledge on the GSM variants will respond.
Yes it is RHD100,
Before reading your posts i have already unlocked my sim slot as i was trying to use my 3uk sim in orangeUK handset. Usually in all handsets so far that was the way to use different sims. If what you say is true what are my options now?
To bump up my thread and question
After not much luck trying to fix it i still have a device that have no signal.
I have tried ROMs Radios flashes and all i could think of.
i have checked and the only way for me to use my phone was to unlock it via unlock codes. But since that day i have no signal what so ever.
I am willing to send my phone to some one for repair if you think you have a clue.
If you have any ideas how i can do it on my own please let me know as well as i really would like to use this. I know it is old and stuff but still would be nice.
Anyhow if you need more answers or info of what i have tried and done do not hesitate to contact me or reply here.

You're sure the hardware supports the bands you require for your provider?
Like arrrghhh says if your Rhodium supports the frequency bands for the provider you are trying to use it on then it should work. I suggest you talk with your 3UK tech support and give them the model # and see if you need a specific type of sim card for it to work or any suggestions they might have.
HI,
Thanks for your input. I know that it used to work on Orange UK network before taking sim lock. Usually most of UK devices worked together, especially that 3 UK have a partner agreement to use Orange network if you loose 3 Network. So it should work. I will give them a call and report back.
Kirior
Edit:
So the guy said that because my sim works in other handsets it must be a software/hardware and sim issue. He could not check it more as it was not a 3 handset so they don't bother. They, as a network, used to have a agreement with all the network to roam between each other, so that would mean that freq are same in all UK. I am running out of options. Any one willing to fix/help with it?
Edit 2:
Went to an orange shop on my way to work and tried one of theirs sim card. Handset worked flawlessly. My guess now is something went wrong with unlock maybe, or my sim is really incompatible with handset. Any ideas how to resolve it?
Thx in advance.

So there's no problems with the device, the problem is with your SIM. Sort that out.

May be, but my sim works in all sort of different devices, it is just this one.
I was wandering as well, maybe if i would come back to stock RUU for Orange UK maybe than it would work? But i cannot seem to find it anywhere :/
I wanted to unlock my note 2, it was on 4.1.2 so i decided lets downgrade to 4.1.1 and unlock it. I used the sasktel stock rom to downgrade it and it succesfully downgrade and used the free method to unlock it (*#197328640#). Now, for some reason whenever i put simcard it gives me Emergency calls only 9laready checked the simcard, its working fine, however when i try to put my old inactivated rogers simcard it does tell me unregistered simcard). Please help...
So far i tried to put bell stock firmware but no luck, didnt make any backup for efs or anything (i already tried the same thing on s3 and it worked fine so i thought it will be same thing)
Please help me
Just want to add few things, i install original stock rom through odin bootloader instead of pda. I do get the signal from my simcard if i turned my phone for few hours and turned on but when i restart i do get the same error emergency calls only. Please someone should help me here, i dont mind making a donation to any developer whoever can help me...
Can somebody help me here and atleast guide me. Should i basically call Samsung and get it replaced, its still under warranty?
Does it say emergency calls only or no sim?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
i have the same problem when i tried to unlocked with z3x, i correct all issues , imei, base-band , .. the cell looks perfect just Emergency Calls Only on bell Note 2 i317m, i tried a lot of tricks but didn't work i think it's network security part problem? any one have an idea ?

Is there any way to tell me can I repair it myself softwarely
Or I must go hardwarely change the sim card slot ????
I neeeed help please
no one can ??
help me please
More info...
Did the previous owner tell you why the device won't get a signal ??
Is the device damaged ??
If not...you can carrier unlock the device to use with the ATT network...
There are numerous threads that cover these steps...g
Edit:
Start here for carrier unlock...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34661189
Once you succeed with unlock.
.you'll need root and recovery to flash a radio image....and set your APN for the proper network..
Do some searches....you'll find everything you need....g
Noticed your other thread about changing the SIM holder...
That's likely not the issue as stated above....g
thnx very much i'll tell u about the news
please help me
the servicemode screen become black no any choices after i played in it roughly
could it be solved ????
i flashed the original rogers rom but invain
Hi guys, sorry to have my first post as a cry for help but I'm really struggling and a friend has pointed me in the direction of the forum to try and solve it. I have an LG G3 855 which is running Cyanogen custom ROM (rooted and sorted by my ex Brother-In-Law, hence I have lost my 'technical support' now). Problem is, I've just left Vodafone as I'm fed up of them ripping me off. Phone is mine and has been from new on contract, now 3 years old, and is locked to Vodafone I assume as I can't get my new GiffGaff sim to work in it. I've obtained an unlock code from a webiste for the princely sum of £9 but dialling 2945#*855# to get me to the menu doesn't work, so I have an unlock code but no way of actually entering it !!
I do have a vodafone sim which is still live to use if required (my works phoneline as my personal number has now ported to GiffGaff), so I can have the phone live on vodafone if required but I need to get to the right menu to enter the number. I'm fearful that the menu no longer exists as the stock ROM is no more?
Any help very greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Mike
