Magician / No Service - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hello every body,
as i see, many pepole have the same problem here, as i have too, for some issue no service could be found on Magician or what ever name it has, my own one worked fine for 2 years then stopped receiving service from operator, not stolen, as gift from a friend than travel too much, i give it to him to test it abroad, and it worked fine on some operator and not at all on other carrier, i have now a smartphone but can't leave it with out understanding what happend,
i have tried the last rom from cotulla,
tried rom upgrade, radio upgrade ....
finally i' got an idea, the problem apearseas i remember after switching gprs on from operation, and some times when the gprs can't be detected the divice worked fine back, and by testing, changing band and other network related stuff i finaly got a message that says to turn off the connection data to use the gsm network back,
i don't find a proper way to do it,
if some body would try this perhepse that's the real cause for this damn "No Service" message
PS, with wwe o4 from cotulla, the green light indicator blink again but the phone don't pass calls

qtek s100 no service
Hi guys,
I need your help repairing my S100.
I was trying to sell it to a friend who would buy it if it worked with the sim card found in his Vodafone HSDPA/3G modem.Then he inserted the card, found network, then after a few minutes it performed a soft reset.
Then it said(where the rom version is)"bad radio".
Then I performed hard reset, when it said "No radio", then booted up.
Then after a few minutes, it got frozen.
Then I did a soft reset and got a red message"bad radio" and it won't boot.
It only boots up after hard reset, then it can be used as a PDA for a few minutes.Then freezes, then it will not boot again until the next hard reset.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have the same problem - tried to use different sim cards and different ROM's and nothing - no service at all - the phone just give an error :/ any idea's how to repair it ?
I have :

O2 Xda II Mini
With :
HTCMAG_ROM_WWE_O4 - http://cotulla.pp.ru/Magician5.html

I had the same problem and accidentally fixed it.
Perhaps I was just lucky, but why not try switching to different SIM card, cleaning it, put it on different mobile phone, and put it back on magician.
Here's how I did it:

"Phone Not Ready...." Can anyone help?

I have an O2 XDA mini s as its so called, and an Orange Sim (both UK)
Now I can make/receive calls fine, but when I try to send a message, or goto the "phone" option, I get the message below. Nor do any contacts from my sim show up.
"The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again"
Does anyone have some advice to resolve this as its pretty annoying!
I did try a search and got no results, so please forgive me if this is a topic that has been given the run around before.
Regards
Sam
Sounds like the simcard is dirty try taking it out and inserting again happens on probs every1 phone sometime.
Another option would be to go back to your cell provider and request they give you another SIM card
sounds like you might not be getting a strong enough signal to use the phone...or send out messages...consider flashing your radio rom to something higher (do a search for radio rom). radio rom flashing usually won't effect the os or ipl/spl...so you can keep all your existing settings. newer radios have more information on towers...so it has a chance to get a better signal...or at least that's what i've been told...
2.19.11 is common for cingular...but there's a post somewhere on changing something that will let you use higher radios with cingular without too many problems...personally, i'm messing around with 2.69.11 (t-mobile) and i haven't had any problems...
Tried cleaning the sim card to no avail.
As with regards to the radio rom, im sure thats the issue as i can make phone calls fine, so im getting a signal. It just seems accessing the sim card and texting is the issue
Its bugging me because its an awesome phone. Im wondering if its due to it being a different network branded phone to the sim card im using...

if that's the case, you may need to sim unlock your phone? but if you're making and receiving calls, you should be fine...
if the sim card is old, or the service provider was taken over...or something of that sort, maybe your sim card has a problem...something like this was a problem back in the US when cingular bought out at&t...the problem was resolved by consumers going to cingular to get a 64kb sim card rather than a traditional 32kb...perhaps something of that sort is happening there?
I suppose that is a possibility,
I will try using the unlocking tool, but im not sure it would be the sim as it is only 2 months old. I just didnt like the phone i got with the contract so bought this.
I will certainly try. I kinda wish i'd just bought the Orange version of the phone
Oz
@Ozington. If you can make calls, chances are your phone is already unlocked. Did you bought this phone 2nd-hand? The previous users may have done something to it. Soft reset your system and tell us all your stuff (especially the Radio/GSM displayed) displayed on the first boot screen.
Alternatively, if you want to avoid all O2 crap, hardreset your phone and during init setup, soft reset it (poke it) just after you have done your security settings. If it is not using official ROM (e.g. no O2 stuff around to be seen), make a guess on the ROM used, and you can also try upgrading an official ROM (safe to do so).
Hanmin,
The phone was bought from ebay, but was brand new sealed, all in o2 packaging, the seller stated it was unlocked. It was all factory packed and the seal wasnt broken..
The Device info is as follows:
Rom Version 2.21.4.1 WWE
Radio 02.07.10
Protocol 413.1.03
ExtROM 2.21.4.101
Does this mean anything?
Regards
Sam
I'm doubtful that it is factory sealed and unlocked. From the information you gave (although not those I've asked for), seems that your phone ROM is a bit, old. Go to O2 webpage and download an update for the ROM (I'm not sure, but I think they have an updated ROM).
To check your ROM version, tell me the battery icon on Today screen, is it on the top left or bottom left. Top left battery icon means it is AKU2, the updated version.
To throw a spanner in the works the battery icon is in the top right?
Thanks for your help. What info did i miss out? (Please bear in mind i have no idea what im doing with the more technical side of the phone!)
Regards
Sam
I briefly had this problem as well. In my case, I could also receive text messages, but still could not send. I changed OS's and it was fixed. The problem only seemed to happen with one of the new OS6 roms. It was intermittent, and even resetting the phone seemed to solve the problem occasionally and briefly. I have flashed my device too many times, but think it was the most recent Touchflo version that had the problem for me. I was using radio 2.69 Ipl/Spl 3.08. I hope this might help. Good luck.
Orange SIM & Unlocked T-Mobile MDA Vario
Hi Guys,
Just a quick note to say that I have a similar problem with my new Orange SIM.
All the GPRS works fine, calls send & receive OK, POP3 email works a treat but no text messaging and when I try Start > Settings > Personal > Phone .. I get "The phone is not ready. Wait 15 Seconds and try again"
I have no answers to this but from all the searching I have done over the past few days to try and find a cure this problem seems to be common to Orange SIM cards. All I can think of is that the Call Centre Message Number needs changing to get the txt messaging to work.
The phone has worked fine on other networks - no GPRS but text messaging & phone calls
Any advice gratefully received !!
Hi guys first poster so be nice
I've got the same problem but came from T-Mobile to Orange.
My IPL / SPL is 1.03 so I'm going to upload the newer versions on the fourm to my phone and see what happens tommrow. Havn't got the time at the moment but I'll post up how I get on.
Do you guys think this is a good approch to the problem I've got?
Hi Sasyboy
You posted just after me. I got my phone working great on Orange now. It has taken me 3 days !!
You'll have to be careful on how you do it. I just jumped in and it caused me a lot of work and time. and a long period where I thought it was bricked 'cos the bootloader screen stayed on and I lost all comms with the MDA
First make sure the CID is unlocked, you must read this:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
I wish I had. This may seem a long way of doing it, but you don't want an expensive paperweight do you ??
After you have unlocked the CID and updated everything as per the Dr P stickie (link above) and it is working, you then need to get the Wizard_Love ROM upgrade. I tried after doing all the Mr P instructions in the stickie but still kept getting the "Phone is not ready...." so I decided I then needed the Wizard_Love ROM upgrade. This took me ages to find, I tried to d/load it via uTorrent but only got 25% and then found it on a Russian website - anyway I have it now, and as I said you'll need it, PM me and I'll get it to you.
You will have to download several files and set half a day aside. If you are struggling PM me and I'll get the files to you as I have them now.
I just need to get the Ornge MMS settings right and then all is fine. GPRS, POP3 email, Internet, Txt messaging OK now, SIM manager works fine (didn't even have it before!) and can access all phone settings for call divert etc
Good luck. Any queries I may be able to help, but I'm no expert. I have spent hours looking at this forum and all the answers are there it is just getting them in the right order.
How do all,
Really happy I updated everything and now it all works fine. Thanks to the community. I love this phone and now with updates it's even cooler.

WM6 upgrade - then no network

I upgraded to WM6 artemis touchflo ROM. Worked fine initially then I lost the network. Is constantly searching.
Try Find Network and just searching
Try change Network selection to manual and get following message:
Network error
Cannot read settings from the network, Try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again.
Retry Cancel
Get the same error if I try Set Networks.
Can anybody help please ?
Saw this on the HTC website today ''The TyTN becomes the first HTC device to get the upgrade, with the HTC P3300, S620 and Advantage also scheduled to receive the upgrade from August''
Have you tried doing a soft reset? (stylus in the hole)
I've tried soft reset, hard reset the lot. Still no joy
Can't think of any other good ideas off hand. Maybe try a reflash?
Why not try just re-flashing the radio first.

Thanx - re-flashed the radio but still the same problem. Is there anything else I can try please ?
I never thought I'd say this piece of CS crap, but have you checked the contact of the SIM card, try cleaning the SIM with a dry cloth.
Otherwise a re-flash of the ROM is probably the next best step.
Can you check the SIM works OK in a different phone?
Thanx - SIM works fine in another handset and have flashed back original T-Mobile ROM. Could it be anything to do with the WM6 ROM I used ?

Yes, If you desperately want Touchflo, then Tom's B&B 4 is imminent, his track record at ROM releases can't be faulted.
Sorry don't think my last post was very clear. Have flashed back to the original T-Mobile ROM and still same problem no networK
Oh! That's not good.
Sounds suspiciously like a hardware failure then.
Still under warranty?
Got it fixed under warranty by local T-Mobile store Thanx for your help and advice
what was the issue then, i am having the same issue with my orbit, and can not seem to find the problem? i reflashed all versions of the radios, and changed to all kinds of sims availabe on Rogers network in Canada, and the phone works fine from all features, except it does not conenct to the network??? when i do search the network, it reads all the towers available, but does not register on any network !!!
the first time i changed the sim worked like a charm for 30 min, and then the phone de-registrerd itself from the network, and i could not connect again. i could always get it to work for maybe an hour at the most everytime i change to a new sim card, but this is not a solution and a costy one

Please help!! SX66 radio

I've loved my Blue Angel for 2 1/2 years thanks to xda-developers, but right now I just wanna throw it away!
I have a Cingular SX66 (PH20B1) running WM6 from Xplode (6.00.00.WWE) and the radio 1.15. After I upgraded to WM6 everything was kind of OK I thought, until I realized that sometimes calls weren't getting through to me and I was getting 'No service' too often. That's when I upgraded the radio to 1.15. I was getting the no radio error, but I found through searching that if I soft reset and keep the phone charged the radio comes back.
Here's my problem.. even when the phone gets out of 'No service' and finds the network (even showing me full signal strength) I can't make calls! Calls won't come through to me! It's pretty useless as a phone, but it seems to be usually able to send text messages if I have the network. It takes endless soft resets and long waiting just to get it to see the network, and then the phone still doesn't work.
The sim card is fine, and it seems the problem is the same if I downgrade to 2003SE (by the way, I only seem to find T-mobile ROMs that work.. don't know where the WM2003SE ROM is I originally had on here).
The phone only seems to work sometimes if I after I soft-reset, I make the call while the BA is still on the cradle.
If anyone knows of a solution I'd really appreciate it.. on WM2003 my SX66 would only act funny if the charge fell to 60%. Now it's wacky with all the up/downgrading/charging/soft-resetting I've tried.
Thanks!
Additional info
I don't know if this is related, but I have the storage almost full of installed programs and the device is much slower now. Also, the Data Connection buttion is grayed out in HTC Comm Manager.
The phone seems to be working right now. Give it an hour and it'll probably be wacked again
Final solution for 'No service'
Hi burnblue...
Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340557
This resolved my problem...
1) In WM2003 and install bandsel .CAB
2) Choose a band of your operator gsm/country (in Brazil, for my operator is 900/1800Mhz (Operator "Claro" and "TIM")... here in Brazil we have another operator what works in 850mHz (Operator "Vivo").
3) If you want, upgrade your rom for WM6 (much better)... your band selection will be fixed (came to wm2003). I don´t undertand about fixing a band remain after rom version upgrade... No explain about this.
No more issue about radio gsm signal, be happy....
Works perfect to me, I´m 100% certain about this procedure.

"no service" is a issue...
Your problem about slower is another problem...
Storage full ~ slower... I had problem´s about these in anothers pda´s.
Take easy to storage your files, much components in today screen, etc...
Use sd card, this help.
Upgrade for Wm6 (xplode rom) and be happy...
WM6 by xplode is faster.
What´s your radio rom version? 1.15 ?
If < 1.15, then upgrade....

not yet
Thanks for the advice rod, but I still have problems.
1. I saw that thread too, and it's not that I have totally 'No service' -- I have signal but calls just won't connect. It might work one minute, but 90% of the time it just doesn't.
2. I can't find a working ROM for my SX66 to downgrade to 2003. I remember weeks ago when I was trying to fix this I think I found a T-mobile ROM, but nothing is working for my downgrade now.
Why is my phone radio so unreliable?
Strange problem...
I have some tests for you...
1) Do you enable PIN ? If yes, then disable.
2) Do you upgrade your radio rom to 1.15? No? Then apply.
3) Do you have problems with anothers gsm chip ? Your SX66 is gsm or cdma ? Possible issue in your gsm chip, maybe... Try another gsm, another operator...
4) What´s the message errors or problems with upgrade or downgrade rom ?
If your sx66 is a cdma phone, sorry, I don´t have any idea how to help you.
In this case, ignore all my questions. My experience in Blue Angel is about gsm...
Take care...
(Send a message if you resolve or not this case...)

Help... Problem with receiving calls on elf

Hey. I'm a new user
Bought an elf bout a month back, but the phone has big problem. Randomly, it doesn't ring when someone calls! Shows no missed calls either. Messages don't come as well.
And all this is very random. Some calls do come through. some don't.
Googled and found that a lot of peeps have the same problem. Supposedly, the phone doesn't ring when it is in sleep mode.
But i've had the problem even when i've had the phone constantly on and just locked.
I've tried soft reset but it doesn't work...
Should i get the phone replaced or repaired
Or is there any other solution.
I tried searching this forum but couldn't find any threads related to this problem. There was no information in the wiki either. Can someone help me???
I have htc home customiser, slide to unlock and a picture viewer installed. Original rom
Try hard reset, but remember to backup all your data before. Contacts, appointments, files etc. And better remove SD and SIM before doing it.
Well. Tried hard reset.
Unfortunately did it before i read your reply and did it with the card and the sim in it
I did back up all my data and contacts though
But the problem still persists
I guess i have to make a visit to the sevice centre after all...

Problem after Upgrade
Hey I have a similar problem...
I upgraded my ROM and since then I cannot turn off my Phone cus if I do when i turn it on the Radio (as in Network) WON'T WORK! Even after I insert pin # it just says there are no networks available although every other phone in the house has network... I've tried rolling back to my old ROM (Blue Elves) but the problem persists...
Do you think maybe another Radio version would help?
The new ROM I installed had the latest Radio version and still, same problem... I'm stuck with a phone that has no signal...
Can anyone help?
Thank you!
even am having this problem of not receiving calls.....i even tried a radio ROM upgrade but still the problem exists...damn irritated....any solution for this?
Similar Problem
Maybe CPU don not support. All functions well, but when I connect wireless, Bluetooth and GSM (long call), mine friezes. I have no solution.
Same problem for me too.
I even took my phone to my provider and they messed around with the IPL, SPL and ROM but still could not figure out what's wrong. I get txt msgs (didn't bother trying outgoing) and I can connect EDGE and GPRS but can't make or receive any phone calls.
I did notice sometimes the phone searches for a network but can't find it (even when locked to my provider).
This has to be a common problem. All other functions on the phone works fine.
Please if any of you find a solution, share it with the rest.
Thanks
Onix Light Version Rom Cooked by myself.
FOR ELF/ELFIN
This version cooked by myself solve the problem of unexpected shut down on 50% and 30% of the battery. A ONYX JR. 4.1.4 (Lighter) was cooked with the last radio IPL & SPL.
I have tested about 20 different Roms and I found some stability in a HTC Touch ELF with this cooked ROM. Similar problems occurred with various IPL & SPL and radio versions.
I supposed the hard code for this OMAP850 with speed of 201MHZ is too heavy for all the functions working at the same time. With some rom versions the battery goes down like 20% in 10 minutes with All radio functions (wi-fi, BT, GSM). I supposed it´s solved.
Mine is working for 3 days without reset.
Please feel free to try. Mail me to [email protected] , because I don´t know if I could post a link here.
Notes:
REMEMBER YOUR HTC ELF/ELFIN MUST BE SIM AND CID UNLOCKED. (FIND THE WAY IN XDA DEVELOPERS AT THIS LINK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637 )

Phone doesn't find network

Hello to everyone !
Ok, first of all I want to say that for years I've been reading this forum and it helped me a lot in the past, but now I have a problem I can't resolve by myself.
I have A HTC Magician PM10A that was bought many years ago in Israel from an official dealer. It worked fine back in Israel.
Now I live in Italy and the phone just doesn't find the network. Not manually, (searching and giving me an empty list), not automatically.
I tried everything. I'll write it down.
Putting back the Israeli SIM card.
Unlocking (turned out to be unlocked).
Flashing with Ctulla WM6.1 Rom (WOW!)
Flashing Radio Stacks from 1.0 to 1.13.
Flashing with Some Italian ROM (downloaded from this site).
NOTHING !
Just gives me network error, unable to register on selected network.....
But there is no network ! Just an empty list !
I wanted to install the original ROM that came with the PDA, but I don't have it.
Thank you very much !
I have the same Problem but no solution.
Well, I have sad news my friend. It's the phone module that is dead. I found another XDA II mini with broken screen, changed the antenas - nothing helped. Plus I checked it in Israel again - it's dead. Well, at least I have a really nice pda
f*** this device was awesome all the years.
Indeed it was a great device. But I checked it at my friends lab, he says that it's possible to fix it, but we have to buy some parts on ebay (i didn't really followed), and only than it might work.
It did it's job and did well. R.I.P.
btw, I am a med student, so it uses me great as a pda to all the books and other staff.
i have the same problem.
What kind of part we should change?
i just changed antena and battery with new ones, but no result
Things you should try to fix this:
Hard Resetting
Cleaning your SIM card.
Pushing the little gold connectors on the SIM slot a little bit up with a screwdriver.
Reflashing ROM.
And the last one, which fixed mine problem:
Another sim. When i tried my sim in other phones, they refused to boot, so i just tried another sim, brand new one - it worked! So ive gone to my operator to replace my SIM.
I had the same problem and accidentally fixed it.
Coulnd't get any signal after upgrading it to WinMo 6.1 ROM. I flashed it back to its original WinMo 2003 SE ROM but still couldn't received any signal.
I took SIM card out and put it in different phone (Nokia in my case). Got SIM card error massage on Nokia screen. Took it out again and cleaned it, reinserted back and it worked on Nokia. Then I was curious and tried put the SIM card back in magician. Signal was magically reappear and phone worked back to normal.
Hope this may work for you too.
