Hi all,
First off all, I'm new here so sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section / being newbish.
I have a problem with my HTC Touch Pro 2, the T-Mobile network isn't working when I boot into android. It works just fine in when I'm in Windows Mobile so the problem isn't with the simcard. When I'm in Android however it recognises T-Mobile NL, but it just says: "No Service".
I don't know if it is a common problem with Android and T-Mobile, but Google didn't really help either.
Thanks for taking your time to read this.

Post the text from your startup.txt. I think I know why it isn't working, but I need you to post that to be sure.
Nvm. It was the simcard after all, I tried it with the simcard of my dad and it worked. So I'm taking it to t-mobile tomorrow and see if they can fix it for me.
Thanks anyway for your reply
hello .. be nice this is my first post !!
i recently came into the possesion of one of these little phones .. however i had no intentions of using this on t-mobile and wished to unlock the phone to be able to use on o2 .. however .. after following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674 which seems to have done the trick as the t-mobile gumpf has disappeared when turning the phone on but now i have a screen that asks for sim network unlock pin to which i dont have one and dont know where to obtain one .. i dismiss it and it takes me to the home page .. wifi works perfectly but i cant send or receive both text messages and calls apart from emergency ones !! .. i have since purchased another tmobile chip and the sim network unlock pin screen is no longer there and would appear to have a signal and two arrows pointing up and down and the g changes back and forth with an h .. but still no calls or texts .. can someone please tell me that i havent killed the phone and there is a fix !! .. i will admit i am a complete newbie to all this so go gentley !!
if the phone was blocked by the network what would my symptoms be .. only asking as im paranoid that i may have been sold a dud phone !!
many thanks in advance
chris !!
Hi and welcome to the forums
Unfortunately, I don't think the thread you linked has anything to do with being able to use a SIM card from another network on your phone. If I'm not mistaken it's more for removing the splash screen (eg. the T-Mobile one when you start up the phone) and also to get rid of the custom apps that networks like putting on their phones.
What you want is an "UNLOCK" code that you can either get online or obtain from T-Mob themselves - I've not done it personally before but you may have to shell out some cash for the code.
Have you tried using the original SIM card that the phone came with?
P.S. The changing G and H with the two arrows are related to the Mobile Data Connection being used by your phone. The arrow pointing up being upload, and down being download.
ah ok .. hense my newbie ness !! .. oh ok .. i thought that meant it would unblock the phone to be able to use on any network !!
i dont have the original sim .. but when putting the o2 sim in i dont get the g & h or the arrows .. and the little graph that shows the reception !! .. however when i put the "new" t-mobile chip in .. it all appears but still unable to make calls etc !! .. just a bit confused as to why the phone doesnt work on t-mobile !!
thanks for the welcome !!
for some reason i thought id change the network on the phone to orange and it seems to be working ?? .. am i missing something ??
then soon to stop working again .. since found out the phone has been blacklisted .. so it looks as though ive been sold a dud .. is there anything i can do to get the phone working again ??
Extremely unclear what you are trying to do. "Blacklisted"? By whom and how? I don't even know what that means.
If you want to unlock your phone to use on any GSM network, as LetoKynes said above, you need an unlock code. Buy one online and when your phone asks for the code, enter it.
i was trying to unlock it to use on any network .. but then found out u the unlock code .. so as i was eager to crack on and use the phone i bought a sim to match the network it was on .. it was working fine but then suddenly stopped working .. i rang the network and the phone has since been reported lost so its been blacklisted !! .. and as i purchased the phone recently i guess ive been had over .. as i am unable to give the original owners details !! .. pretty gutted !! .. still the wifi still works ok !!!
Hey Guys..
I recently purchased an SHV-E250K phone from Korean.
Everytime i boot it up, it shows that Olleh Logo, instead of the samsung logo
Looking around i found out that it is "still locked by a contract for one of the korean mobile providers"
I dont know if thats try or not, but some apps that i have on my phone, still display korean language, even though i was able to change the default language and keyboard to English US
I currently live in the Netherlands, so when i try and access my voicemail from the Dialpad, the icon of the tape or wheel (or whatever u call it) next to the number 1, is not there. So when i keep pressing the number 1 button, it asks me to create a speed dial shortcut thing. I know it should ask me to enter my VM number, but it doesnt in my case
In relation to that, when i receive a call, and i reject the call, it automatically hangs up on the caller, not forward the caller to my VM
i have been struggeling with this for almost a month now (since i got the phone), i even emailed samsung support in Korea, they cant help.
I was able to root the phone successfully, no issues there, and i was able to install triangle away, and all that good stuff, but for the life of me, i cant find anywhere to fix the issue that i have.
i am really desperate to get this fixed, so any help on how to get rid of this whole crappy OLLEH thing on my phone, i would greatly apprecaite it.
thanks
Thanks
I've been working with an Olleh E250K in the US for a while. I had to unlock it and this worked for me.

Rooting it is hard though...

Thanks for the info. But what I found out is that the phone was already unlocked, just it had that olleh stupid rom that displayed their logo at boot up. I managed to get rid of it by installing another rom. But the issue still is that I cant reject calls and get them to vm. Instead it hangs up on the caller. Still reaserching a solution for that.
Does urs do the same?
Sent from my E250K usind xda-developers app.
any feedback is highly appreciated.. This issue is driving me nuts now

Have you solved this yet?
When you root your device you can change it to anything you want. it's call Bootloader Animation.
There are some apps on the Play Store that will do this, and some guides online for how to make your own.
I changed mine to the game Portal boot animation instead of the olleh logo.
I, on the other hand, am in the situation you thought you were in. I have a Note 2 SHV-E250K that is SIM locked, and I need it unlocked before I leave for the USA (in 2 months from now).
any ideas on how to do this?

I tried your link, but it seems to be non-existent now. I also searched on the unlocksamsungonline site, as well as others, and I cannot seem to find the Note ii Korean olleh model on any of them. And sorry to contradict you, but I found rooting it to be very easy with CF Auto Root.
Might you or anyone else have some suggestions or advice for how I can Unlock the SIM and whatever else I need to do to prepare my Note2 for use in the USA?
Thank you in advance!

hey man..
no I have not solved it yet.. still with the VM issue, everything else is working/fixed
when I bought by phone from Korea, it was already unlocked, so unlocking this baby would be out of my knowledge.. sorry man
I heard though.. the K model, like urs and mine, are the most difficult to unlock in comparison to the S and the L
on a side note.. do they sell over there the digitizer and screen for the K model?
thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by digitizer, nor which location? from fixing a friend's iPhone, i remember that term being used for screens, which was her (my friend's) issue. I did a google search, and the wacom S-Pen came up it digitizer as well. If you are talking about Korea as the location, and the digitizer is, or it for S-Pen? then yes. a replacement for a cracked screen? I'm 99% sure they do. Screen protector? of course. if it was made for the samusng phone, it can easily be found in Korea at both the samsung service centers and the private fixing shops.
As for your boot animation logo;
Is your phone rooted?
- if yes, then download a Boot Animation app from google Play store, and choose one you like. most of the apps will work automatically. the samsung file system is slightly different than other android phones, so consistency is not guaranteed.
- if still yes, a second alternative is to make and inject a boot animation yourself. this guide should help get you started http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971828
-if no, then get it rooted so you can do these things. CF Auto Root worked best for me. find your device model here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ download the .tar and flash with Odin.
assuming you are in the USA, do you think an AT&T store or Sprint or (etc...) can unlock it for me when I arrive?

location I am referring to, you are in seoul
Digitizer, is what every phone has.. you have the screen, and right below it is the digitizer. For our phones, if you will replace the screen, you would have to replace the digitizer also (which normally are glued together)
my screen is cracked, and I need the screen with the digitizer. The Samsung repair place her say they don't have the digitzer/screen for my phone because the K model has the tv antenna, and it is only for the Korean model. The European model (I live in the Netherlands) does not have that antenna
as for the bootanimation.. that was fixed long time ago.. it was part of the ROM.. Stupid Olleh company added it as part of the ROM
So that got fixed, I now have the stock Samsung bootanimation, and the ROM is all English, nothing is Korean. Except that my phone is Korean
The issue I am having still is the voicemail forward when I reject the call.
I tried everything.. but that's cool.. I am getting close of finding a resolution to fix this issue.. That's why I waited that long and search all over this forum until I found a lot of answers to my questions, including for the issue that I am having
in regards to the digitizer/screen
they told me here that the only way is to get that kit from korea.. is there a way for you (since you are in Seoul) to find out for me please which place has those and if they would ship internationally ?
Thanks

Ah ok, I fully understand now.
Sorry I'm unsure of how to get the voicemail to work... I'm usually good at those kinds of things, but I haven't needed voicemail here, so i have yet to experience that...
Yes there are many locations that sell the screen and digitizer, shipping internationally is the hard part...
I think one of your best options would be to checkout a website called GMarket (korean version of amazon, has an english translation) im pretty sure they ship internationally, some of it is still in korean... you might need the help of a korean.
Another one is auction.co.kr but this one is all on korean last time i saw it.
Next time i head to an electronics market here, i'll ask for you and post back here if they can ship it to you.
thank you.. I will try those site, and I appreciate it if you can please, about checking an electronic store, or even a Samsung repair center.. just to make sure to get an original part for the phone, if you know what I mean
thanks

Hi, I hope this helps... I think you can flash at&t roms to shv e250s/l/k provided that you also flash JS kernel.
I can't post the link, but you can go ahead and google it.
Sent from my SHV-E250K using xda app-developers app
not just the sj kernel, but you CANT flash the modem, otherwise you will brick the phone.. so you would need to choose NO for modem
