My HTC Desire will reboot whenever the sim card is inserted in the device as soon as it connects to the 3G network. I've tried it with several sim cards and it happens with all of them (though a couple have worked for a short while, all the rest rebbot immeditely when 3g connection is established. I've tried resets, different roms, different radios and i just replaced the entire SIM-SD tray...
Can anybody think what the problem could be and a possible solution? I've run out of ideas and i can only think of the motherboard.
Thank you
Try flashing a new radio.

i've tried several radios.... same problem..:crying:
Ok, i've studied the issue a little further and this is what i've found:
If mobile data is on the phone will reboot as soon as it connects to the network but if mobile data is off or phone is in airplane mode then, when it boots it'll vibrate once and then switch off (and NOT reboot)
Does this mean anything to anybody? Is there any way I can log what's going on?
Thank you
EDIT; SORRY, MY MISTAKE, PHONE WORKS FINE IN AIRPLANE MODE AND IS ALSO WORKING WITH MOBILE DATA OFF, SO THE PHONE ONLY REBOOTS WHEN IT'S CONNECTED TO MOBILE DATA. (for good measure i just flashed a new rom, new radio and new kernel and the problem is the same)
I had this problem before, I know it sounds bizzare but try changing the sdcard, it worked for me

rooted mine my bros and bros girlfriends desires...
all went fine, no problems.
then my bros girlfriends started doing this thing and would'nt connect to wifi...it says turning on then error.
i thought ok, its an old rom version updated to the latest along with the latest radio 5.20 (or whatever it is ) and still the same....
ok...must be the rom...tried opendesire, which is working perfect on my phone and its still not working....
so to shortlist the problem is when i try connect to wifi it says turning on...then error...and wont even turn on...
definately not the rom.
definitely not the radio.
anyone got any ideas?
i tried to flash back to stock RUU but it would not let me "update" it with an HTC ruu a europe RUU and even a TMO UK ruu....
just kept saying cant update....
so anyone got any suggestions?
thanks!!
The same problem with me. I flash several ROMs, but no change. I think it's hardware fault.
Full wipe before flashing new roms? Have you tried a FroYo sense rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire
Now i use office 2.2 ROM, the same problem.
ye wiped and everything.
i cant even flash a RUU package which is gay!!
ill try a few other things and see if i can get it to work....and then maybe just send it back for repair or something.
I seem to have the same issue did anyone have any luck?
Just to give more background to me issue:
I've come up against a weird bug\issue\failure.
I've been running Leedriod ROM for a while with very very few issues. I upgraded to 2.0c over the weekend & everything was working fine.
This morning however neither my wifi or bluetooth is work.
Wifi tries to start but I simply get "Error" in Setting-->Wirless & Network-->Wi-Fi
My bluetooth has also stop working.
I'm not sure if this is related to the Leedroid ROM or potentially a hardware failure...
I have gone back to 1.9 (last know good backup) & I've done a complete fresh wipe & install of 2.0c. None of which I have had any luck with. I've also trawled the web and forums but nothing similar is popping up....
Any help or advice much appreciated...

Didn't my advice in another thread work?
It sounds like you guys have what's called a usb-bricked phone.

Sorry, mate...somewhere in my brain I thought I have replied to you. I tried the USB Brick Fix you suggested but no luck....
I'm beginning to think it's a hardware fail....
Normally means you didn't update with the gold card in the phone - you need this for ALL updates on previously branded phones...
What exactly is a USB brick? Does it brick the phone or just stop the USB from being able to update the phone?

Hey, I have much the same issue, I've tried a whole lot of ROMs and none of them seem to make the wifi work.
As soon as I revert back to the original installation it's working as expected, but whenever the phone is flashed (with the updated radio too), wifi stops.
As far as I can tell, Bluetooth, GPS and 3G are fine, but wifi tries to connect states that it's "Acquiring IP Address" and then disconnects and starts the cycle again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Do you use the gold card when updating?

Hey, no worries!
Your symptoms definitely suggest your phone is "usb-bricked". What method did you try?
This is the best (and easiest): http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
I followed it myself with success some time ago.
If your phone is no longer rooted, you will need to root it. Else start with step 2.

I've never used my gold card when updating my branded Vodafone Desire.
I only used the gold card for initially rooting my Desire!

Sometimes when a update/flash goes wrong the Desire going in to a low level debugging mode, which we refer to as a "usb-bricked Desire".
You will observe the following symptoms:
* FM Radio Malfunction.
* Bluetooth Malfunction.
* Charging doesn't start immediately.
* Radio Malfunction.
* SD Card Malfunction.
* Unable to connect your phone using USB when booted into Android.
* Unable to connect your phone using USB in Custom/Pushed Recovery.
...other than this, the phone will work as expected.
So the WiFi problem is something different. I was directing my reply directly at IEArmand because we were chatting on a different thread.

Thanks for the info, was just curious as my Desire, although now fully updated, didn't seem to like the latest RRU update file and couldn't be connected via USB. It's weird as disk mode and sync still work completely fine and it updated fine via OTA.

Ok this is weird.....
Woke up this morning and found my Wifi and Bluetooth functions have returned!! I did not try anything last night so I'm at a loss to know what has fixed it.Functions did not return right after USB Brick fix but who knows...
Not much help to folk with this issue I'm afraid..

Hey, I rooted my phone using the Unrevoked method, I didn't think I needed a Gold Card to complete this.
Maybe I read this incorrectly. Can I just repeat the process with the GC?
And...does the GC help with Rooting or Flashing?
Thanks.
That's rooting, you don't need a gold card for that. If you want to flash a generic ROM onto your branded Desire you'll need a gold card. If you want to flash a custom ROM, you just need to use a custom recovery (which you'll have thanks to unrEVOked)
As for JustinTrouble not needing one, I'm guessing it's just Orange users having issues then as most people need the gold card to stop the WiFi issue rearing its head
i installed *virtuous_unity-v1.27.0 & then RunnyDrOiD_v3.0_By_PVTeam* on my G2. At the initial boot the phone rebooted as soon as it connected to my mobile network (it rebooted almost 3 times) .then i tried booting with my sim card out and it worked. then again i inserted the sim and tried ...the phone started normally & connected to my network(still no problem) ...but as soon as it starts data connection my phone hangs & reboots ...this happens untill i put my phone on FLIGHT MODE.
please help as i doubt if this problem is with my phone or the roms (as im getting this same issue on both above roms i've installed).
Anyone??

Did you flash the DZ Hboot before flashing those particular ROMs? I'm assuming so... have you tried posting in those ROM threads? Maybe someone there has an idea... I've never used those ROMs or had a similar problem. But it might be worth obtaining a new SIM card. They do tend to have problems as they get older. Do you have the same (or any other SIM/network related) problems on other ROMs?
If you did not flash the DZ Hboot... well, then the ROMs shouldn't really be booting at all. The DZ Hboot allocates more system memory so that the G2 can handle the gigantic monster that is Sense. Here's a link to a great how-to for changing Hboots: http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
The link for the PC10IMG file doesn't work at the moment but it's available on the wiki, or I can PM it to you. And of course, if you have already done this, please disregard.
Wouldn't you get bootloops with no dz hboot? OP stated it works without sim or when airplane is enabled.
Try a non sense rom and see what happens
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Yeah, one would think... I just happened to read another thread the OP posted in, and I inferred that, perhaps, he hadn't switched Hboots. So, I thought I'd mention it.
Hi people, currently I am running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355660 ICS ROM but I cannot connect to my mobile network. In the last few days I unlocked my phone while running this ROM and I entered in the code I was given. The unlock was successful however I could not get onto my mobile network 3. When I went into settings > Mobile network settings > Network Operators I received the message "Error while searching for networks". I tested it with another SIM card and I got the same result. Then I tried reflashing the ROM and using a different ROM, the 4.1 Jelly Bean by Nikez. The result was the same. Another thing I noticed was that each time I restarted the phone it would ask for the unlock code again and each time I entered it the phone would say "successful", but obviously something has gone completely wrong. Also note I have Data Enabled and my Wifi/Bluetooth is completely fine. Can anyone help me on what has gone wrong? Thanks
Bump, would appreciate some help please

You don't put it on your sd card. Extract it to your desktop, connect your phone and run it.

My phone is using GSM network and rom Cyanogenmod 7 stable version
The phone works without problem until I restart the phone, the Baseband version becomes unknown and the notification shows the message "No service" so I don't have any mobile network

I would ask in the rom specific thread. You're more likely to get someone with experience with that rom to answer.

He can't post there most likely since he has only 2 posts. I had an issue with Viper like this but thought it was related to Hurricane Sandy....
One morning I grab my phone off the usb (computer) and it says Vodafone instead of VZW on the lock screen. Hmmm. Reboot and nothing changes. Can't send of receive texts or connect to 3g but phone works. I tried pulling battery, sim card....to no avail. As a last resort I wiped data and it has worked since with no issue although that forced me to re-install all my apps.
Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for your suggest. I wiped data and my phone works too. But I wonder what is the root cause of this issue? A problem of custom rom ???
Hi,
I just flashed 4.3 google factory image, and everything went well.
When I switch on the phone, it ask me my PIN code, and then, no mobile network is recognized. The problem persists even after a reboot.
I tried with 2 sim card from 2 different carrier, and the result is the same. I'm in France, and the radio xxlj1 worked fine before the flashing of the factory image.
Does someone know what is going on?
I would try newer radios, if possible...

UGLL1 was not better than XXLJ1 before factory image flash. I don't think it is the radio, because it was working before very well with xxlj1.
I have just noticed that I can put a wrong PIN code and the phone can unlock the sim card. Is it possible that the sim card reader is dead? Is there any tool or app to check the readability of the sim card?

I mean it would be one thing if you dropped the phone in water or something... but for it to stop working after flashing the factory image?...
Try flashing the earliest available image, 4.0.4 I believe.

I tried it, without success. I flashed a factory image, because most of times, my phone was stuck at google logo without reason, even after a full wipe.
But now, I noticed that the phone can connect to cellphone network at approx 1 boot over 10. I suppose it is a hardware problem, but it is very strange. When the network is ok at boot, everything is fine until next reboot, when the SIM card is detected, but not read correctly.
