Hi, I'm a noob, forgive me. I bought my Desire HD from Singapore, which came unlocked. Then, I downgraded it, and rooted it. Everything went fine. Then one day, after flashing a rom and flashing the recommended radio (forgot which rom), my phone suddenly lost signal, and I have been unable to get it back since. It says "Limited Service Emergency Calls Only" It detects the SIM card, but when I try to connect to my home network, it says that my SIM does not allow a connection to that network. So, I flashed back to stock, both Froyo and Gingerbread, assuming that it replaces the radio with the default radio. (Is that so?) However, that does not work. Now I fear that I might have flashed the wrong stock rom, which might be the problem. Does anyone know what is the stock rom for the Desire HD shipped to Singapore unlocked (software number, etc) and how can I get it? Also, how can I check the rom's information (software number, whether it is for asia, or is it WWE... etc) THANKS A LOT
PS. I tried getting a replacement SIM. it does not work. it is a 128k sim card. (Does that help?)

Also, other SIMs work on my Desire HD. My SIM doesnt, but works on other phones.

Hi,
I had an OTA firmware update about a week ago and all seemed fine. Then a couple of days ago, I started to lose reception... and was unable to make/recieve calls. Initially I thought it was a network issue, then I discovered my work phone (also on Orange) had perfectly good reception. I decided to change network settings (GSM-WCDMA) and no luck. Then I thought I will change SIM cards, and now I get "No SIM card in phone". The original sim card works fine in my work phone, but no SIM card works in my HTC Desire!
Im pretty certain it has something with that OTA firmware upgrade. Also, when switching the phone on it constantly asks me to reset the time.
Any ideas what I can do? The phone is unbranded from CPW.
Have you tried a hard-reset? I'm not sure of the exact procedure, but I'd try that first, or maybe reflash the de-branded ROM to it??
I know the Orange handsets that had been de-branded SIM-Locked the phone after being flashed OTA (search the forums and you'll see) and to get past this you needed to get an unlock code from htccodes (or another)...
Hope you get it working matey...
Orange and T-Mobile have just recently made a merger so all orange and T-Mobile phones are having issues with reception, as for your issues have you got a stock orange desire or are you using debranded desire? If your stock try rerooting using a goldcard and see if this helps any

Hello.
Since yesterday I can't get any reception from my HTC Desire. All it says is "Limited Service, emergency calls only".
It seems to come from my phone apparently.
I have a HTC Desire branded Orange (France) and I flashed the official HTC Desire rom on it then updated to Froyo via update.zip.
It worked fine until now.
I tried flashing 3 other radio, including the orange one, but it doesn't change anything.
Tried wipe data factory too, nothing more.
Can anybody help me please?
Did you flash anything before you werent getting signal or did it just randomly go? Tried searching for networks manually? You should be able to get the joint Orange T-Mobile network.
I didn't flash anything. The only thing I did was update an app via Market.
Searching network manually never end, it keeps searching again and again.
I tried with another sim card and it works.
Thank you

is the sim card for the same network? your provider will be able to just swap info on it , so that sim card becomes your old one
Yes it is.
I will try to check with them when I get off work.
Thank you.
Hi, everyone
I have trouble witha my Desire, recently bought as second hand. It Soon developed problems with GSM signal reception. My Desire has radio version 32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27, and kernel version 2.6.32.15-g2633d94. It uses to lost GSM signal, or become unavaible number, even don`t recognise aSIM card. I replaced my SIM card with new one at my provider, but the problems stay.
Looking forward for suggestions and advices. Thanks!
if you didnt rooted/ did any custom mods
i would send it to customer support, sounds like a hardware problem...
if you did modded you can try a other radio
if the problem still exist, i would flash the ruu and do what i said above
greetings
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.

First, im from Australia.
i bought the galaxy note 10.1 (2014) LTE second hand few months ago, didnt see any branding on box or bloatwares. its 4G version, local stock (seller said from dicksmith). i tried with voda simcard and it works, both call and data. i cant remember if i tried with other simcard at that time....
it had 4.4.2 originally, but then i flashed 5.1.1 nordic rom via odin yesterday - dirty flashed.
all good, flashed ok, connected to wifi fine and start downloading updates, etc.
the voda sim card is still working fine, i got 4G signal and able to make calls, etc.
BUT
today i tried to swap simcard with telstra, and it didnt recognised! there is no warning something like "network locked" or something like that, it didnt connected to the network, cant make call or get data.
also with tpg simcard, doesnt work either.
weird. any idea why? is it possible the flashing process has somehow locked the simcard tablet can use (in this case, voda)?
after trying with different sim card from different provider, now im 99% sure mine is LOCKED~!!!
anyone know how to unlocked?
