bricked phone - used ruu but no network signal?!!

hi guys,
so i have a serious problem, probably my own fault, but hopefully someone here can help me out!...
so earlier today my phone restarted itself, then when it came back on i lost all funtionality in my SDcard, then lost usb recognition to windows! so after reading all and many failed attempts i decided to use a ruu (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe) to restore it to hopefully working condition...
so it worked fine, it booted up, sim card was recognized.. but then within a few seconds my network operator is no long working, (works in old phone and my old sim works in this one) .. when i go to network operators, search networks, i click on orange and it just says 'your sim card does not allow connection to this network'
i have a unbranded desire, did i use the wrong ruu?!
any ideas guys?! im going insane here!
* oh and i formatted sd card to fat32, and now that just says unrecognised!
How long you have this phone?
I suspect it may be network barred which it block to use UK network because it has been report lost or stolen the phone IEMI# will be enter in their blacklist.
i have had it 5 months i think, but the sim card i have works in my old phone still?
how would it become barred becuase i returned to what i think is a default ruu?
Not sure, I'm not best person to solve.
Maybe RUU error, because I cannot find Orange RUU in XDA for some reasons.
I can see there is T Mobile, Vodafone etc but no Orange on list.
ok, thanks... i have just noticed something else now...
when connecting my usb to pc, it isnt recognized anymore so i check device manager and it now displays 'qualcomm cdma technologies msm' in other devices!
did the ruu somehow change my phone from gsm to cdma?!
i have tried selecting gsm only in network options but my desire wont let me!
Sound like a USB brick. Try this.
thanks mate,
having trouble though...
i have got to the point of installing terminal emulator but cant issue even the first command.. just says permission denied or directory nonexsistent!
You probably need root, are you rooted again after the ruu? If yes first type "su". If not and unrevoked doesn't work maybe try visionary to temp root.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
no, i cant root because i cant connect to the pc to use unrevoked... are there always ways to root?
apart from the apk you just suggested which i will try now...
my network signal is now back on, my sdcard is now recognized again thanks to a code i found to use in fast boot...
just need to restore the usb functionality now!

Sim recognized but no signal at all !!

after i updated my international P6 to B-125 firmware i got a weird problem, the phone reads my sim card but no signal at all and its always showing "no service" on the home screen, i dont think its hardware cause when i try to search for networks manually it shows all available networks at my country but refuses to connect to mine (Can't connect to this network at this time) and also i tried 911 and it connected and someone answered, so i dont think its a hardware bug, but what else could it be , any help please with that?
edit: ofcourse i tried the sim in another device and its working just fine

Think about that and you must to try this:
Look at this folder "system/cust" and inside the cust folder you must have one folder with the name of your operator mobile company with the files necessary to works...if don't have it that I said you must to put this folder....but now don't know how explain this because I don't know how make it.

Does your device have an IMEI number?
My P6 was flashed with a wrong ROM by the previois owner and somehow the IMEI erased.. This can cause your issue too. If there's no IMEI, the network operators don't let your phone to connect to the network.

Help plz, weird baseband/EFS/IMEI problem...

Hi guyz, Snakeforhire here. For some reason I can't access my old account anymore so had to create another one :/
My 3rd phone (not in production) is a N7100 which behaves weird since I flashed a stock 4.4.2 ROM on it : when I boot it up, it loads OK, recognizes the SIM card and asks for the PIN to unlock it, but once fully booted it doesn't pick up a carrier and displays the barred circle instead Wifi and bluetooth work OK though.
From what I can see it has a valid IMEI (an analyser tool from PlayStore recognizes it as a valid GN2 IMEI), and the EFS doesn't seem corrupted.
"About device" displays the following info :
Android version : 4.4.2
baseband version : N7100XXUFND3
Kernel version : 3.0.31-1280411
(....)
Build #KOT49H.N7100XXUFND3
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thx !
Has the phone been blacklisted from your carrier? Is it possible there is a loose connection inside?

Emergency calls only due to IMEI problem

Hello guys,
I bought a new S20 Ultra, 2 days ago, it was on Android 10, when I tried to update it via OTA, it showed a toast saying "registration failed".
So not knowing this is a problem, I simply downloaded Odin and Frija, used Frija to get the same exact ROM with the same CSC (XXV: Vietnam), and flashed it, so far all good, after starting, the sim card was showing "emergency calls only", I tried literally everything: Network reset, restart, re-flash another ROM, another CSC (no matter what I did, CSC didn't change on the phone).
I noticed that I can't change the network provider (stuck on Automatic, and shows a toast saying: "Error while searching for networks").
*#06# shows the IMEI code written on the back of the phone.
About Phone also shows the same IMEI code on the back of the phone.
*#0011# shows: IMEI Status: NG
I have searched a lot in this forum and others, and found that I should have backed up my EFS folder, following the instructions in this comment, I rooted the phone, and used Root Explorer, inside the EFS folder, there's no "nv_data.bin" file, I wanted to delete the IMEI folder, but had to do a backup first, then things went south flashing TWRP, so I stopped and re-flashed a stock ROM (removing root and everything).
I went out to a local repair shop, the person said that the phone isn't reading the sim, and it should be unlocked using a box (hardware unlocking). But I think that Chimera would do the job, but I don't understand why they only have a yearly sub, while some people need to use it just for 1 day :/
If anyone went through this problem, or has any idea, please let me know.
Thank you!
UPDATE: Apparently on the back of the device, it says: LIVE DEMO UNIT NOT FOR SALE.
