Your device type is actually set in your build.prop in the /system directory. You could go in and edit it back to what you had before if you want.

Need more information.
Are you having difficulty connecting to CELLULAR services? (voice)
Are you having difficulty connecting to DATA services? (3G)
Have you added the proper APN's?
What ROM are you using?
Ok so this is exactly what is going on. I have TELUS sim card in phone. It says I have limited service, I have zero. No cellular service what so ever. When I go into mobile networks and search.networks it only gives me Rogers as a choice. Phone is set to gsm/wcdma auto. I entered TELUS apns which didn't get me any further. Every few minutes the phone automatically brings up the network options page wanting me to connect with rogers.
Phone is running a stock HTC firmware as far as I can tell.
Android 2.2
Baseband 12.28b.60.140eu_26.03.02.26_m
Software number 1.34.405.5
Thanks for trying to help
Can you confirm that you get Bell and Telus signal where you currently are, on a different phone?
Could be a radio problem (though I'm no expert). Have you rooted your phone?
Yes I have strong bell and TELUS signal on my original HTC desire and wife's one S.
The desire Z is not rooted, when I received it, it was running Android 2.3.3 but had this problem so I did downgrade it to 2.2 to see if it would fix issue, which it didn't. That's all I've tried so far

Is it SIM unlocked to begin with? The Desire Z was originally with Bell so I'm not sure why it's only letting you choose Rogers, even with a Telus SIM. Have you tried a factory reset? Maybe there was an issue with the original firmware or the downgrade didn't stick properly. You could also go the route of rooting and flashing a custom ROM to see if that fixes the issue.
It does not ask me for code when I put in my sim card. It was advertised unlocked. The seller tells me now that it doesn't support TELUS bands of 850 and 1900 but from research I couldn't find any info of a desire z that didn't support it. Anyone else seen or heard of one?

Could it be the radio version?

Could be radio. Follow the guide to downgrading and rooting S-OFF, on the wiki ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision )
then flash the latest radio here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
The latest radio definitely supports bell.

Desire Z completely works with the Telus Network; I had one running flawlessly, so that seller is full of crap.
Try the radio update via fastboot and see where that gets you. Did the seller use it on Rogers before? Perhaps he loaded a radio tuned for Rogers when he owned it. If you do go this route, you may want to invest the time to root and S-OFF your phone too.
Ok so i rooted -s off and all that jazz. I used hboot to install the latest bell radio. Rebooted and still have no signal for telus or bell. Still only shows me rogers. I am going to try custom rom now but not sure if it will do me any good.
Ok Custom rom on my phone. installed virtuous team sense 4. However still will not detect a network other than rogers. I am assuming its hardware fault?
Umm try your wife's sim in your phone and see what happens

Any Idea??
I am just wondering what this option does. i have an unlocked HTC one M8 and when you click it its says fail. Was just hoping it would tell me the status etc. What does it actually do many thanks.
I'm guessing its used in conjunction with the HTC Java Card to sim unlock phones at a dealer/factory.
Java card what are thoughs trying to understand all I can also is there anywhere online to download stock ROMs

Unless your device is S-OFF, you won't be able to remove the tampered flag.
