Problem with unlocked xda on uk tmobile - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Hi great forum !!!
But and theres always a but im having trouble with my xda.
It was locked to o2 so as you guys recomended i updated the rom to the latest version as well as the radio update (all from the UK o2 web site)
Ran you unlocking program as mentioned and all was as promised its now unlocked.
I put my Uk T mobile sim into it and it cant pick up the network.
Only networks avalible are o2 and vodafone.
Friend put his vodafone sim in and it works fine!!!
I have looked on the forum and theres a mention about the network speed but when i go to programs and cant find the aplication to change this.
Could the problem be that i have the latest o2 radio stack?
I have looked everywhere for a t mobile on but to no avail.
Any help is much loved.

Confirming you can't even make a phone call with your SIM card?

Yeah sorry did i miss the point lol
The only two uk networks avalible to choose from are o2 and vodafone.
No T mobile No Orange No otheres at all.
When i put my sim card in (t mobile) theres no signal and cant make a call.
Could it be the radio stack?
Theres nothing on my phone to change the frequance.!
rom version 3.17.03 eng
radio version 4.21.00 From o2.

Both O2 and Vodafone are on the 900 mhz band, try looking at the gsm band chosen under bootloader, you need 900/1800.

And is there a easy way to change this?
Many thanks
Mark

Go the boot loader screen (Power button + soft reset) ... wait till "GSM OK" appears and then press the calendar button to get the menu.
Good luck

Thats it
Your a genius
Thanks soooo much.

Unlock works, now get me a rom update

Hi,
I sucessfully unlocked my t-mobile pocket pc phone edition which i bought in the USA. Back in Holland my BEN (a.k.a. t-mobile) sim didn't work because it doesn't support the 1800 network.
After the unlocking i bought a Vodafone SIM and it works. Thank you xda-developers!
But how do i get a rom update since i am not a t-mobile or O2 customer? Can anyone get me a link?

Upgrade 900/1900
Just make very sure you never install the RSU (Radio Stack Upgrade) for anything but a 900/1900 phone, or you'll be in trouble...
You can safely install the O2 RUU Rom Upgrade packages to upgrade the PDA part, either normally or through the bootloader.
Just get the update from t-mobile
Just get the update from t-mobile's USA website
All you need is a valid T-mobile subscriber number to punch into their web site.
The entire block of 10-digit numbers 801808xxxx belongs to t-mobile. Try different numbers till you find one that works

i could be totally wrong here but maybe its your sim card at fault, maybe it isnt data activated. i tried my xda with my old - working - t-mobile payg card and altho' the xda worked i could neither make nor receive calls. i think it has something to do with the services offered by providers.
ian
Did think that m80, will they "data activated" if i call Orange??
Thanks
Does the sim work in another phone, has the sim ever worked in the xda, have you tried a different sim in the xda, I dont know where you got the phone but it may be that it is blocked to all networks, did you ever see the xda working before the upgrade to developers rom 1.2
Yes the sim works in another phone.
No the sim has never worked in the XDA.
No i didnt see the XDA working b4 i upgraded.
Thanks m80, any ideas??

A little update
I have contacted Orange and they have enable GPRS is there anything else they need to enable, as it is still not working!!!!!!
I have upgraded the Radio Stack to 4.21.00 still no joy!
Any ideas, it searches for a netwrok then says No Signal
Thanks again in advance

sim/xda problems
sometimes the switch on process can take a while. have you tried the card in another phone? do you have a non-payg sim card that you could test in the phone?
do you know someone with a card?
have you unlocked the phone?
i really don't know what to suggest but if you've tried every combination of cards and activation then its either the software or the phone.
mug someone with an xda and use there sim card.

Orange with No Signal
I have a Orange contract sim and it does'nt have a signal either but it worked until i updated the the radio stack to 4.21 but a downgrade is not possible, i have tried t-mobile and still the same problem. if anyone knows how to downgrade it to radio stack 4.01 which is 1 that i know that works. Lets hope XDA-Developers and suss out how to copy the GSM In the Wallaby Bootloader. if anyone can solve this problem you should be king.....
use the band switching tool lol
its most probally on 900mhz (voda,3,bt) instead of 1800 (orange, virgin, 121)
1900 is the american signal also if you have upgraded your phone to pc2003 then you cant get it to work on orange then lol coz it only allows you to do 900 or 1900 :roll:
Thanks alot for all of your help guys
I have tried an O2 payas u go Sim and it works, very strange!!
But Yes it is defo unlocked!!
Will keep trying the Orange Sim and find out why it wont work!!
What are the setting for GPRS for O2?? Please
Thanks again all

Unlocked phone won't connect to GSM with new SIM

Hi all,
I've unlocked my phone successfully using an unlocker from unlockitnow.com (I know yall can start hating now for me paying but I tried POFs version a hundred times and it wouldnt work...)
I'm using the Softbank X01HT in USA, the Japanese SIM card I use connects to T-Mobile GSM network. Now that I've run the unlocker, I put in Softbank SIM it still connects fine. Great. But when I use a T-Mobile SIM, it never connects and when you try to access the settings for the phone it says Phone not ready try back in 15 seconds (which never ever works).
I am using the Black-Shadow-IV ROM from jasjamming over at win4mobile,
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.04 (which the unlocker put on there it appears, was using 1.40.Olipro)
Radio Version 1.14, the sticky one
I don't see how it connects to a T-Mobile GSM network with a Softbank SIM and not with a T-Mobile SIM but thats whats going on here. Is it fake-unlocked??
Any help here is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
desperate
pof, anyone, i need help.
How can I unlock this post Dec Softbank X01HT step by step. There are over 20 posts to this and its not easy to follow. Plus the pof unlocker claims to work with Radio 1.14 and it hasn't been doing the trick.
thanks in advance,
Nick

Qtek 2020 - no locks, but seeing service only from 1 operator

Hi all,
I'm seeing this strange thing. I have received a Qtek 2020, and I tried to use it with my sim (TIM, Italian Telecom) but I can't see network service, under any circumnstance. Then I swapped my sim card with a Vodafone IT one, and I've seen full signal immediately. Trying to change to another operator like Italian "Wind", took me just as the very 1st step: no signal at all. I tried to change radio rom/os rom, and running unlock tools (they said it's all unlocked). Nothing changed.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance!
Marco

Wich radio version is in the mda ????
Try updating it to the latest version seeupgrading part
Hi, thanks for the reply (i was away for holidays )
I've tried *all* of the Radio ROMs for the device (found on buzz's site). Also for the OS rom and extended, when in 2003. Just don't know what else to do!
some older sims are incompatible
some people have reported success with
getting their operator sending them a newer
sim
Already tried!
It seems that works with the old ones as well as with the new ones (my sister has a 6-years-old card from Vodafone, and it WORKS!), but just from that vendor.
I'll just drop it in a trash can!
