Hello,
I live in The Netherlands, and my mobile operator is Tele2. I installed Android 2.3.7 on my HTC HD2, with Radio Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14.
But I can't send an SMS, or call a number, becasuse the network is not available. The network is also not available on Windows Mobile 6.5.
Which Radio ROM does work the best with Tele2 (The Netherlands). Or is there another solution for this problem?
Is HD2 network locked or have hardware issue ?
I would do clean install of generic WM6.5 from links in the HD2 Wiki .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD2#Official_ROMs_.26_Radios
If get it working on that then move to another platform.
I flashed some Radio ROMS, but they all don't solve the problem. I already flashed the stock Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, and also that doesn't work.
Borrow a sim from someone and see if it works
I tried it with my own Tele2 SIM card, and with a Vodafone SIM card, both don't work.
Did you recently buy the phone?
Or is it your old phone which worked and when you tried android it stopped working?
I recently purchased the phone from someone. He said it was working. When I got the phone, I flashed a new Radio ROM and Windows Phone 7, and did not check if my SIM card was working with Windows Mobile and the original Radio ROM. Now, I flashed Windows Mobile 6.5, but it is not working. Also Android doesn't work. I tried most of the Radio ROMS.
@Mister B will know more than I about this, but I think it is locked to a specific carrier, eg O2
Just to be sure, is it EU model (white call & end call buttons) or tmous model (green and red)?
The phone has white call & end call buttons, so it is the EU model. The previous owner did not know if it was locked to a specific carrier, because his SIM card just worked with the phone. How can I get to know if it is locked to a specific carrier?
I would have thought flashing hspl would have done it, and you have already done that to get wp7 on it previously.
Not sure
I flashed 2.08.HSPL on the phone with HSPL4, to get Windows Phone 7 and Android running.
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28342560&highlight=carrier+locked#post28342560
in which Mister B mentions that the phone might be blocked due to an unpaid bill or stolen. Worth a read for you possibly.
Where did you get it from?
I don't think that's the case. I thought the problem was the Radio ROM, maybe I need to get a Radio ROM which works with Tele2 (Carrier)? If yes, I don't know which ROM.
I got the phone from a Dutch site where you can buy and sell things. And the previous owner used the phone with Vodafone.
Does the device actually know a sim is inserted or does it always show as no sim present ?
Showing as no sim present would be good indication of hardware problem.
If sim locked or blocked IMEI it will show sim present.
As such any of the main HD2 radios will be fine with your network & would allow full radio function if all else good.
I always fault find on original HD2 WM6.5 or a trusted WM6.5.x custom rom.
Dead sim reading is not that uncommon & can be mainboard issue or even the sim holder so worth looking at sim holder a little.
Most of the used HD2's sold online are faulty mainly due to amateur repairs so good chance that the case here.
There is a SIM inserted, because I need to enter a PIN code for the SIM. But I when I try to send an SMS, it says the network is not available. I get that message with Windows Mobile and with Android.
Does your sim work on another phone?
Yes, the SIM works on another phone.
I would say then it either network sim locked or IMEI blocked or radio hardware issue on mainboard.
Worth gong into phone settings & checking radio bands & try manual connection to varying networks.
Ideally want try all this on generic WM6.5 & reflash radio after rom flash (try radio n my signature)
You could also try an unlock by cable at local shop !
After that you stuck really ...

Hi everyone i need abit of help.
iv recently got a HTC TYTN from a friend but it has no network, the phone operates well and i can play mp3's and videos(everything works fine). But there is no network when i search for one it gives me all the networks i need but does not register itself on the network according to the sim im using. The only time it gets a network if i turn off and on flight mode then i will search for network, but this hardly works iv had the phone for a month and i only got a network twice, but if turn off the phone and back on again i have to go through the same flight on and off procedure to get a network.
Please help.
either the phone is blocked by the IMEI number or you need to upgrade the radio rom
look on the wiki there are links there for radio roms
If the imei is blocked then you are screwed as nothing will unblock it except the network provider that blocked it originally
thanks man. Will try how do i check my bootloader version and radio bootloader.
i wouldnt worry about the bootloader version click start > settings > system > device info and it will tell you the radio version there. are you sure that the device worked ok on the sim provider you are using. What i mean is ,is the hermes unlocked to any network ,have you tried a sim from another provider?
when swithed it on it does not ask unlock codes or nething. it goes through but no network. im in south africa and we only have 3 service providers MTN,VODACOM and CELL C.
CELL C works only if i turn off and on flight mode, i got it right once. I tried the other sevice providers and nothing works.
radio version is 1.18.00.10
But for this radio rom thing to work dont i need RadioBootloader version 107 or less
so if you put another providers sim in the phone do you get this sign ! where the ariel strength should be? if so it may not be sim unlocked. But that will show even if it has been blocked. Was your friend on a contract and then stopped paying it so he gave you the phone or did you buy it from him
Yip i do get this sign !. im not sure where he got the phone from. i never bought it from him.
if you havent done so already install HARDSPL you can find the link here and the instructions how to do it as well
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HardSPL
thanks buddy gonna try it out.
once you have installed hardspl install this which will cid and sim unlock so you can flash any rom to the device and use any sim
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a.zip
I have a feeling though that your phone is blocked though mate, if it accepts one sim but not the others but worth a try anyway
You can download a new vision of your PPC's radio driver,I tihnk 1.47.30.10 is the best
Changing the Radio ROM isn't advised as this is a sure-fire way to brick your Hermes if something goes wrong with the flash.
If the phone IS blocked then no amount of OS or radio ROM changing is gonna fix.
Hi,
i've new problem with my S300+!
Yesterday my phone worked well, today I see the following message:
"The SIM card is missing. You can still make emergency calls if your service provider supports it".
I tried to switch the sim card to another phone and the sim works correctly, then i tried to put another TIM sim card on the s300+ and the message is showing too.
What's happened?
Originally the s300+ was SIM locked for SFR sim. But when i bought it, it was unlocked to sim free.
Two weeks ago i've upgraded the radio rom to latest version.
Reading the other device's forum, i've saw that problem may be an hardware problem. How can check if the problem is caused by hardware ?
Can I try to re-unlock the phone? or it is effectless?
Thanks in Advance!
can you try a SFR sim in the phone?
see if it works on that sim.
do you know the person you got the phone from?
how was the phone unlocked?
you could try unlocking the phone again.
I can't try a sfr sim!
I'm in Italy and I've bought the phone in France.
I don't kown the person that have sell the phone, and i don't kown ho the phone was unlocked.
I know that the phone works well for 3 weeks and then not!
I 'm tring to reunlock the phone.
if you do a search on this forum you will find the files needed to sim unlock your phone.
when you have done, may be your phone will be ok again.
On the down side to that may be the person that sold you the phone has reported it lost or stolen and its been blocked/locked if that is the case i dont know what you can do.
I have just unlock the phone, but nothing is changed!!!!
I've also checked my imei on this site:
http://www.amta.org.au/default.asp?Page=405
and it not seems reported as lost or stolen...
I bought a S300+ (SFR Locked) in January 2008 and I unlocked by myself using tools found on this board, it still work fine but with a Vodafone Italy SIM, but sometimes I use a TIM Sim too.
I don't think that your is a lock problem, from the message you get at the powerup sound like an hardware problem but you should try an hardware reset how last option if you didn't it before.
I've made an hard reset, but nothing happens!
Also I've tried to flash a new roms (an italian rom and the original rom), but was not the solution!
I'm not sure where is the problem, because the phone worked well for about 3 weeks, than suddenly shows the missing sim card message....
IS there a site to verify if the imei is blocked? i've try www.ama.org.au
Is There a program or a tool to verify the integrity of hardware, especially for ths sim hardware? or a datasheet of sfr 300+?
I've had the same problem on my trinity and it turned out that I needed a new sim card because the old one burned out after four years of use. This may or may not be your problem.
I solved my problem by inserting a little paper between the SIM and the support lol
OK, So I am not sure exactly what I did, but I was running DFT_Android ROM without any issues but wanted to try the NexusHD2-Gingerbread ROM. After flashing (successful) I wasn’t able to get on to my cellular network, wireless LAN, or even see the device through Windows (Aside from USB Mass Storage). So I decided to flash back to DFT_Android…
Well now I can search for network operators and I see mine (Bell) but I can’t connect to it. If I try to set up and APN it asks me to choose an operator, Vodafone or Vodafone Business.
What the heck is going on? Did the ROM write to my SIM?
Where do I go from here? How do I get back on my carriers network?
Here are the current software details:
HTC HD2 Telstra
Baseband: 15.42.50.09u_2.14.50.04
So I swapped out the sim card with another working sim from another account and it worked right away... So my question is... Is it possible the sim became carrier locked to another carrier? Is that possible?
If I put my original sim back in I get the same message...
Your original SIM is probably just bad. I would request a new one from Bell.
Hi guys,HTC tell me my beloved HD2 is now a brick, however it receives data even though it won't handle calls - so is the radio dead as HTC techies reckon?
If I try & make a call all I get are three 'dub dub dub's then nothing
The problem started after I had my number ported from Vodafone to T-mobile (UK) Trouble is I also flashed an Android ROM (Nexus fro XDA) at the same time so not sure which caused the problem.
Phone has always been unlocked
Checked APNs & so on, factory resets etc.
Tried different (Tesco) SIM same issue
Tried T Mob SIM in different phone OK
T-Mobile techies tell me IMEI is not blocked but can't come up with a solution
Flashed back to stock WM6.5 ROM from HTC site via SD card (previously tried USB) which I believe updates the radio as well? Bootloader tells me I'm on SPL 3.03 so everything should be back to factory settings Radio is 2.15 50.40
Could it be that Vodafone have somehow locked my phone in the porting?
What else can I do, please?
Ok you said your device is unlocked, do you mean SIM unlocked? Cause if it is not SIM unlocked this would be the reason for your issue.If it is SIM unlocked then either you have a faulty SIM card reader in your device, your SIM card is faulty, or the carrier has not done something right. Last thing I can come up with is that something could possibly be wrong with the internal antenna of your device. I will contemplate more on this and if I come up with something I will post back here in this thread.
HD2 gets data but can't make or receive calls or sms

Hi thanks, its SIM unlocked. Previous to changing carrier/flashing ROM (wish I'd done one at a time!) everything was fine SIM read OK, antenna must be OK as I can connect to internet.
Any further ideas appreciated, however!
Could be a bad unlock occurred but it is unusual.
reflashing rom maybe a good test option as will trying a few other sim cards/providers to rule out sim & network issues ...
Also when you did the SIM unlock were you using Windows Mobile or Android. You have to use Windows Mobile to SIM unlock the HD2 or it will not work.

This is not entirely true: there are android NAND ROMs that allow you to entry SIM-unlock code!
Edit: it seems it unlocks it temporarily until next reboot! I'll study that and post observations...

Yes it is entirely true, the SIM unlock is something the is done through the IPL. This means the OS has to be able to communicate with the IPL. When you are using Android neither cLK or MAGLDR can communicate with the IPL. The Android ROMs do have the SIM unlock feature but it will not work on the HD2, well it works bit it does not permanent and you have to do the unlock every time you reboot the device. This has been proven time and time again here. Take a few minutes to do some searching on this subject and you will see I am telling the truth. Better yet ask Samsamuel or MisterB andthey will tell you the same.
Ok, thanks...
I'll do my homework!

He speaks sooth, this has always been an issue.
not getting calls etc
Thanks everyone for the hints, took it into Vodafone shop, tried a spare sim & lo & behold we have calls; so it was locked to Vfone, I just happened to be on the Vfone network when I got the phone
Now I have to wait for Vfone to get unlock code from HTC - 5 days! That's modern communications for you!
Thanks again
Bill
unable to recieve calls
Hi i recently flashed a pacman rom 4.2.1 on my hd2. All is working well except calls. Whenever i answer the call it freezes. I tried flashing diffrent roms but i still get the same problem. Please help!!
Hi,
I need to know what is with my HTC.
I have the EU version of T-Mobile, Vodafone sim (I was in her shop to change. For new) In another phone runs normally.
So the problem is as follows. I had android 4.0.4 and there ceased to function signal, I put the phone to backup the default Windows Mobile 5.6 with official rom and radio (the latest version). The problem persists. But if I give another card to phone eg. O2, T-Mobile phone works normally. Vodafone card was connected corretly to this time. But not is'nt working.
I tried to choose network manually unfortunately found phone networks - click has been uploaded window "Registration in the network ..." A top searches for signal ... And it makes all the time and after a minute my phone reports that the network is not available. Coverage is here - H, G.
There is no problem in setting mobile network?
Or in ROM, SPL and another?
Thanks for the answer!
does your Vodafone sim work on other phones?
Edit; sorry, you said it did.
Odd that your first one just stopped working.
Which ics rom was it?
which (h)spl was/is installed?
more details please.
