simlock after rooting :(

hello guys....
i recently rooted my desire and didnt use my simcard in it since i rooted.... now i try my simcard and it tells me that i have a EDIT NETWORK LOCK on n i have to type it some numbers to unlock it... :S i dunno wat i did to get that :S
my desire is an orange uk handset.... is there anyway of me being able to sort that out??
thank you
EDIT: network lock
You need a PUK. Either ring Orange or try this
http://help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/selfservice/forwardrendererurl.jsp?DocId=200627
I'm not on Orange so I have no idea how it works.
Give it a go though.
sorry matey.... i ment network lock.... sorry
Downgrade the radio to 4.05.00.11 version and you'll be fine.

how do i downgrade? is there a step by step guide?
The same way you flash a ROM, download it to your SDCard and boot into a recovery menu (preferably ClockWork) and then install the zip file you downloaded.

Totally depends if there's a radio included in the ROM, custom ROM's don't really include new radios though so you should be fine.

[Q] Bootloader Unlock

I just updated my phone manually via RUU of the Euro ROM.
When I go to the HTCDev site, it says Vodafone India [which I use, but its not branded] is 1.48.1305.0. Mine is 2.13.
I tried BOTH Euro and Vodafone India's RUU's for the unlock:
ERROR 191: ROM not supported, You will receive a notification to upgrade blah blah
Please help me!
EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED! I'm now unlocked! Time to change my sig.
See don't panic too quickly Good luck Customising
Nice!

Eh, it was kind of an accident. I tried flashing ALL THREE ruu's viz. Vodafone india, htc euro and htc asia india. None worked. Error 190. I was in the habit of booting into hboot, so i did that instead of power up. I saw hboot v1.08.0099 or something and a 'locked(oow) above it. I tried the oem cmd and i got the unlock code bin file and unlocked the phone LOL

[Q] Not getting 3G/4G on my Wildfire S

I recently came to US and purchased a t-Mob connection for my Wildfire S (bought in India)
My plan includes 4G data but I'm getting only Edge network.
When I place my SIM in another hand-set, I get 4G speed but its not working in my phone.
Anyone else faced this issue?
Pls message me if you have any solution for this.
T-mob guys dont have any idea about this. The say I should atleast get 3G.
My Wildfire-S is rooted.

man you cant upgrade radio with cwm..
follow this link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018511use
and yeah might first universal method wont work so you need to use second one.
steps:
download latest radio ruu from post
download bl-tool from post
then use bl-tool to lock your bootloader and set supervision
then make goldcard
extract latest ruu on computer and see steps to copy rom.zip from temp(see advanced method)
rename zip to PG76IMG
put on sdcard and boot to hboot menu(remove battery and hold power button plus volume down)
then your phone will detect ruu and tell flash it self.
then you will see firsst hboot and radio will upgraded and when you see recovery screen again pull out battery.(keep in mind this step or you have to unlocked your bootloader again and root again and also flash recovery again because ruu will unrooted your phone)
this is only method because s-on only allowed to flash radio when your upgrading it with ruu,nothing else.
for goldcard:
you can find goldcard zip in mentioned post.
then download it and open it with administrator,put your sdcard in card reader and format it.
now put sdcard in phone and keep usb debugging on.
now use mmc0 or mmc1 which option works for you.(only one will work)
then copy CID to website mentioned in that tool download goldcard.img and patch your goldcard.
now your sdcard is goldcard.
put PG76IMG.zip on it and boot to hboot menu.else phone will do it.
keep in mind in flashing ruu first it ll ask and use volume button to yes or no. and then first ruu will flash radio and hboot then it ll show recovery screen again.there you can see hboot and radio is upgraded..now you can pull out battery if you dont wana loose your data,root,recovery.

change sim card,my meaning buy new sim with same number(replacement) and factory reset phone if something wrong then it ll solved.
if not solved then try any other sim from your friend's phone if its working then probably its your sim card fault if not then might it is any hardware issue.

There is one guide in general section for upgrading radio with s-on. I upgraded my radio so no worries,try second method.(first might wont work)
And you need to download whole ruu for upgrading radio when you are s-on. You ll find all description in guide.

so something wrong in xtc clip i guess.because when you used it your security status should be off.
so if still you can see s-on in your hboot menu.i guess xtc clip didnt work perfect or its faulty.
but you said in main rom you can use service of your carrier so no worries.

i dont have experience with xtc clip but as far as i know you need to use xtc clip only once.after its useless.
no need to use xtc clip always when you flashed the rom.
and if its not showing s-off,its not working.
you have to go to where you bought that xtc clip.they ll might gave you an explanation.
ps you can add another question about xtc clip.many users here used it so they ll give you exact guide about it.good luck

try to flash this radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887857
download second hboot+radio zip and renamed it to PG76IMG and put on sdcard in hboot menu.
its latest radio of marvel(gsm). if after this you can't get signal its confirmly hardware issue.
Just my chip in as I have experience with the xtc clip. That message you got earlier means that your sim flexy cable was not inserted correctly
Also, you should only use the xtc clip on stock software to avoid problems.
In regards to your issue with the sim cards its getting a signal, according to your screen shots anyway. Is it working on a stock rom?

signal depends on radio.any rom dosent contain radio..they are just system and boot images.
try to search networks manually..if don't work get back to the rom which gives you signal.

Help needed determining RUU for M8

Hello guys, I need a asap help and will be very thankful for guidance.
I recently bought a used HTC one M8 Gold 32GB, it is in pristine condition, just weeks used, but when I came home and did a reset I realized that it was a rooted phone. But then I discovered that there were some apps like Sprint Worldwide and there were many instances where I found Sprint written, (I have no SIM installed and neither do we have Sprint in our country). So I ended up assuming that it was rooted by the original user solely to unlock the device? I am currently in 4.4.2 and unable to update as it keeps stucking on checking screen. Now I want to revert the device to its original condition and need help doing that. I heard that it can be done by installing RUU so I went to:
htc . com / us / support/rom-downloads
and downloaded: 4.25.651.18 (assuming it is a Sprint)
and then placed it in the sdcard but after HBOOT takes some loading time, it just says invalid image. I have also tried renaming it with no hope.
the bootloader is Locked/ M8_WHL PVT SHIP S-OFF.

First you need to post the results of fastboot getvar all. REMOVE your serial and IMEI numbers from the pasted info before posting. We need to see hopefully the firmware that is currently on the device.
If it is Sprint and you have downloaded the correct RUU file, you do NOT put it on the SD card, you leave it on your Windows PC, attach the device to the PC with USB cable and run the RUU as administrator in Windows. Before that, download HTC Sync Manager and let it install, then delete it. It will leave behind the HTC drivers which you need.

If it is Sprint and you have downloaded the correct RUU file, you do NOT put it on the SD card, you leave it on your Windows PC, attach the device to the PC with USB cable and run the RUU as administrator in Windows. Before that, download HTC Sync Manager and let it install, then delete it. It will leave behind the HTC drivers which you need.

It's definitely Sprint but the firmware is ancient. Run the RUU file and hopefully it will go thru. If not, we'll have to find a way to update your firmware one at a time, but as you are S-OFF it will be easy enough as long as we can find the firmwares.
Sprint RUU can be found Here, this is the latest Lollipop version.
Get your phone into fastboot mode and simply run the RUU .exe file while your phone is plugged into the computer via USB.

It should all be there. When you connect to a data network, what symbol shows on the status bar?

I have no idea. I can change my symbol using Xposed modules, though normally mine chows 3G or H. Have you looked in settings/mobile data/network mode? Currently mine shows3G only, 2G/3G auto and 2G/3G/4G auto.

Sprint phones are different from a lot of others. I forgot about CDMA. Mine is GSM. Sorry I can't help further.

It won't work. If your device is CDMA and mine is GSM, you could brick your device totally.

Sprint is CDMA. No doubt about it. The CDMA version M8 supports CDMA, GSM and HSPA, but not as many HSPA bands as the "pure" GSM M8 (basically any version except Sprint and Verizon).
What bands does your carrier use for 3G (HSPA)? I'm guessing that your carrier uses bands not supported by the Sprint version. In which case, you are out of luck. The Sprint (or Verizon) version is not recommended for anyone outside the US, and not on the specific (Sprint or Verizon) carrier.
You can't flash RUU, radio, or firmware from other versions to Sprint (even with s-off). As mentioned, the flash will either fail or brick the phone.

I have changed my CID and MID. And btw can any one of you tell why the International version + Developer/Unlocked are still on 5.0.1 unlike the (my) Sprint version's 5.0.2 ...? Due to this issue, currently I am unable to flash any other lower (but international for 3G support) version of RUU exe regardless of me being on compatible CID/MID.

Never ever install an intl version/dev edition to your sprint device. It may brick it.
Where is your region currently ? Which country ?
Maybe change of these helps :

I guess, it will not brick because I have changed my CID and MID according to the RUU version. Correct me if I am wrong?
I live in Asia, Pakistan.

God almighty man, READ WHAT HE SAYS. You cannot and should not flash WWE anything on a Sprint device. What part of that do you NOT UNDERSTAND?
