Hello everybody
Yesterday I tried to use "lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker v0.2b" for my new T-mobile MDA Vario because otherwise I was not able to upgrade the ROM from 1.6.2.2 to the latest one. But.. in the end I got a problem. To be honest this problem was appearing periodically before unlocking/upgrading but now it presents permanently. I simply can not dial any phone number. The systems responds as: "SIM card is not installed or invalid" (something like that from translation from Dutch into English, originally: "SIM-kaart ontbreekt of ongeldig").
I already tried to use this SIM in my previous phone (SE T630) and it still works perfectly. I can dial numbers, I can SMS, whatever. But in my new T-mobile MDA Vario this SIM card just does not admit dialing the phone numbers.
Does anybody have any thoughts, what it might be?
Thank you very much in advance!!!
P.S. Honestly, in case of warranty during unlocking process I kept my SIM card out off the MDA.
Just for info...
When I bought MDA the version of ROM was 1.6.2.2 NLD
After upgrading I got ROM 2.21.2.5 NLD and ExtROM 2.21.2.108
As I see now it connected to T-mobile network but still can't dial any number, reporting of the possible problems with SIM card. In the same time this SIM card is working with no any problems in my T630.
This is a very strange problem indeed. When you turn your device on or soft reset, does the device ask for a PIN code for the phone? If it asks for a PIN code and it accepts that code and starts searching for a signal, that means that the device can read the SIM card. It is very strange that when you have a signal, the device cannot make call. Either it should not be able to compare your PIN code to the one on your SIM and give an error message, or if it accepts your PIN code, you should be able to make calls. Perhaps there is a hardware problem with your SIM slot that makes the device unable to read the info on your card? Since it works in your other phone, the SIM does not seem to be the problem. You can try flashing another ROM on it to test if the device works with that ROM. If that does not work as well, flash back to an original T-Mobile NL ROM and call T-Mobile for your warranty.
When it is loaded it shows up the Telefoon screen with the following message: "Ongeldige of ontbrekende SIM-kaart. U kunt nog wel alarmnummers bellen, als uw seviceprovider dit ondersteunt." If I type numbers it show stars, like I would enter the password. Why stars? I already tried to input my unlocking code but it didn't help, as looks like it expects something else that this. I may just press Annuleren and continue working with other available functions of MDA but still may not use the phone.
Could you please share the info how to downgrade back to 1.6 ROM?
Thank you very much for your response!
Ok, this indicates that your device cannot read your SIM card. The screen you get on start-up is the screen where you normally enter your PIN code, if the device can read your SIM Card. That is why you see only stars when you enter a number there. Seems to me that your device cannot read your SIM Card and therefore cannot compare the PIN you enter to the one on your SIM card. You should not be able to get a signal from T-Mobile, since your phone cannot read the SIM and cannot register with the network. This can be caused by three problems: either your SIM card slot is broken, or your ROM is faulty (try flashing it to another ROm first, for instance a Qtek ROM from the ftp server, there are many ROMs available there) or the SIM card is defective ( seems not to be the case here, since it still works in your other phone).
I recommend that you first try another ROM on your phone, e.g. a Qtek ROM. If the problem goes away then, just keep the Qtek ROM or try flashing the T-Mobile ROM again. If that does not help, flash the latest T-Mobile ROM (from their website) to your device and claim your warranty for a broken sim slot.
As far as I know it is not possible to downgrade to the 1.6 ROM, it is a non-AKU ROM and cannot override an AKU ROM. Perhaps someone can correct me, since I am not a 100% sure of this. You do not need the 1.6 ROM at all, if the Qtek ROM does not work, just flash the latest T-Mobile ROM to your device and claim warranty. Since you then have an official T-Mobile ROM on your device, warranty should not be a problem.
Would be that a problem to flash latest T-mobile upgrade back from Qtek? I need to know it just in case I would not be able to do that. Cause otherwise, sorry, but im ****ed up in front of warranty office..
It should not be a problem to flash the T-Mobile ROM over a Qtek ROM. You can first try a hard-reset to see if that solves your problem. You can also call T-Mobile Klantenservice and tell them your problem. Tell them you want to use a Qtek ROm to figure out the problem and ask them permission to do so. They are known to give permission for such actions if that can save them from repairing your device. Be sure they make a note in your file stating that they give you permission, that makes your case stronger if there is a problem with your warranty later on. Good luck!
Do you think it's illegal installing even T-mobile NL ROM updates by myself, i.e. not asking T-mobile to do so?
Like I said the previous version of my ROM was 1.6.2.2. Then I actually tried to flash the latest UK version (2.21.2.5). The network signal was actually appearing from time-to-time but then it just died. Then I tried to install the latest NL version (2.21.2.5NLD) to check whether the signal would appear. But it didn't help.
Installing official T-Mobile updates is not illegal. T-Mobile NL made the upgrade available on their site. These updates are meant to be carried out by the users themselves, therefore the file and instructions are placed on their site. For other brands ( Nokia, SE) these updates cannot be done by the users themselves, but Windows Mobile updates are meant to be done by you, thereby saving T-Mobile the costs of performing the upgrades for you. So if an official T-Mobile ROM is on your device, they can never deny you your warranty. You can try to replace the radio Rom only (there is a thread on this) to see if that helps, but I recommend flashing an official T-Mobile NL ROM on your device and claim your warranty. Since you have tried different ROMs, the problem obviously resides in the hardware. If a hard-reset does not help, use the lokiwiz application to sim and cid lock your device again and T-Mobile will not be able to see that you had unlocked it. Just mention that you tried a hard reset and that you tried upgrading to the latest official T-Mobile ROM and they will have to honour your warranty.
Re: T-mobile NL: problems with dialing after unlocking &
First of all to my knowledge T-Mobile MDA Vario in NL is SIMlocked and CID locked . If you want to know the difference I advise you to search in the xda-forum or google it.
Here are a few comments from my experience of upgrading and unlocking my MDA Vario.
( BTW I have T-Mobile MDA Vario initially with 1.6 ROM and SIM& CID lock -first upgraded to 2.21.2.5 then unlocked with lokiwizard3a !! )

I disagree with this, upgrading should not require you to unlock your device unless you upgrade to a None-T-Mobile ROM. If this was your main target ( only the Tmobile upgrade ) you shoudn;t have messed with the unlock stuff

I am a bit puzzled you state that the device was not behaving well before you started tweaking. Why did you not go to the Tmobile shop? OK you like the challenge ? Anyway it does look like a Hardware issue to start with.

OK what have you tried else?
The suggestion of trying a QTEK ROM shold be blocked by your CID lock. I you remove the CID lock ( which is possible but not legal ) your warranty is at risk. Tmobile may claim you messed up your device ...
Therefor What I did is only take the SIM lock out. Lokiwizard 2(a/b) did not work for my upgraded MDA so I looked around a bit and found that there is a newer version 3a. That one worked for me on the Tmobile 2.21.2.5 ROM. I did not use or try the QTEK rom since the Tmobile rom allows my warranty to be safe and is newer ( and stable afaik) then the QTEK rom .
I also have found there are updater that do not check your version number of NBF file because you officially can not downgrade the 2.21.2.5 so there is a way back should you need to. Though I personally did not verify this . I mailed with a person here at XDA forum who did it with success.
I would propose to play dummy when approaching Tmobile and not ask to go to QTEK rom and tryin to be the smartass.
Try to downgrade and go for warranty - thats what I would do..
Hi, I've updated my Trinity with this ROM.
All works fine, except that it doesn't work with my SIM card.
When I insert the SIM card, I got a message and the Network Wizard:"Your current operator (23433) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor.
Would you like to select another network provider?
Basically I can't connect to the network and the network wizard gave me only asian and australian operator I can choose from, but I'm on Orange and in UK!!
Please let me know what's wrong!
Cheers
You sure it doesn't work when you wait a while? It should work telephony-wise, but the data settings you have to change manually...
just doesn't accept Orange SIM cards..
Can't understand why...maybe has a lock when you insert an Orange SIM?
Orange simcards
Hi gioazz,
I bought an m700 from you on ebay ( dezlatics )and have found it to work great, but I am eager to use the GPS option with it.
But just a quick note on your issue....
I have now installed an Orange 3g Pay as you go simcard with no problems.
However, I did originally buy a simcard and have problems connecting to the internet. I rang Orange customer services and they told me that the simcard was only a 2G simcard and that it was not compatible with the m700. So I then bought a 3G simcard and everything is sorted.
So perhaps you are trying to use a 2G card and not a 3G card??
Could you possibly send me any info on the GPS rom update that you have installed and tell me how to check if my m700 is locked or unlocked.
Cheers mate!
My Sim Card is 3G but it doesn't work with any Orange SIM...I think that this is simply a faulty phone.
As for the GPS ROM, just download the ROM from the FTP it works great, and if your already works with an Orange SIM I think it will still working.
I've tried to revert to an old ROM and the nproblem is still there so I think is just the phone.
It does works with any other phone SIM so far,so I think is simply an Orange lock on this device...
'FTP' - What is this?
Thanks for your reply gioazz,
But because I am a bit of a newbie on this site, could you tell me what the 'ftp' is please. Where I can look for the ROM update.
My apologies if this is such a stupid question!

First of all - great username!
Second of all, ftp (file transfer protocol) is where you are going to find the stockpile of roms and other files the esteemed members of this forum have compiled from around the world. Here's a link to the trinity rom page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_Upgrades
Good luck with the update...I see in another post of yours you already CID unlocked your phone.
How Do I Know If My Device Is Unlocked?
Thanks for your reply PSARGENT,
Yes I unlocked my Trinity with the IMEI unlocking service, it cost me £20.00 but I think it will be worth it in the long run.
But how can I test that my device is unlocked and will stay unlocked even after I upgrade using the GPS ROM update?
Is there a quick to tell, or do I have to try and install software that is not digitally signed to find out, Also, I do not have any other carriers simcards to try in my Trinity either.
Cheers!
Still no sign of the Official GPS ROM Update from HTC!!!
Sorry for the double posting!!
I did not read your reply to my post in the other Trinity section of the site, my apologies psargent!
Solution
Do Hardreset,
After you finish the initial phase, do hard reset before it installs the DOPOD software (the 3 seconds countdown) and your sim will work fine.

As per title.
If the answer is yes can you please describe me how to do it, because I have tried everything and I am becoming frustrated.
I have tried many different radio and windows roms. I should mention that I have used sim unlocker by Olipro.
Thank you
3 uk works great
yes i am using three uk on my diamond actually i have a o2 ignito i put the official 193 rom from htc uk and to do that make sure you hard spl and unlock CID etc.3 uk works great use opera and bookmark http://mobile.three.co.uk use this as your homepage all the three services work fine dont worry about three settings if you have the htc official rom it uses the network wizzard to configure your settings automaticly good luck.

Thank you for your reply.
I was using 3 UK with my Trinity before and everything was fine. Now, no matter which rom I install it just doesn't see my sim card. I cannot connect to the network. If I use a T-Mobile or Virgin sim card everything works fine. Should I run unlocker every time I install a new rom or radio version?
no you only need to run once try and run unlocker again and go to your phone settings on phone and make sure that the phone is set on utms or auto maybe you have it set to gsm try that and get back to me
Can you tell me which exact rom you used so I can install exactly the same one?
Thanks for your help!

I tried installing this rom but still nothing. Is there a way to do a hard reset, just in case I have done something wrong?
http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_diamond_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html
i would recoment to try another 3g sim in your phone sounds like you got a bad sim there if that doesnt work you may have a problem with your radio.
Thanks a lot for your time jutley.
The thing is that I try the same sim in my HTC Trinity and it works absolutely fine. I tried hard resetting but no result either. I'll try now installing radio 1.25.03 from HTC to see what happens.
what unlocker did you use to unlock your htc and do you have hard spl on there
I bought the unlocker from here
http://diamond.htc-unlocks.com/
I believe I installed hard spl in the beggining. Is there a way to check it?
ok i think i know your problem the unlocker you have used has not unlocked the 3g band so i can send you the wright unlocker do you have a email add i can send it to you when you get it follow the steps 1 2 3 and your done read the instructions carfully and goodluck and finally i recomend you flash to the latest htc official rom i sent you the link .
No worries I found it.
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.Olinex
yes the way to check your hard spl is hold down the side volume button down button whilst pressing the reset button by the stylus at the same time when it reboots whatch out for the info on the top left it will say hard spl with v number
I sent you a pm
here is the unlocker i used this one anyway and three uk worked fine its very easy just make sure you use the hard spl in the files its safe.
you should have the email now good luck let me know the outcome irm here to help.
It didn't work either...
The unlocker was very similar to the one I had bought.
I selected the two first boxes and commited changes. Should I select a CID as well?
Thanks a lot for your help man!
Even after unlocking the CID remains: ORANG001
Is this expected?
Hello Everybody!
I recently ended up with a RHOD400 from Sprint. I use a T-Mobile affiliate. I know these phones have a SIM card slot. The phone is Security Unlocked and I flashed a HardSPL to it. Can this be used on my T-Mobile Afilliate? I realize its a GSM network but I see the SIM slot. Here comes the fun part. I tried flashing 21905_WCX_RHODIUM_TILT2_UPDATED_APPS_TABS and now I'm stuck on the splash screen. Have I bricked this phone or is there still hope for a noob move like this? After doing some reading I found Task29 and used it to clear the storage to try to get a different rom to work. So basically, what I need to know is
A:Is this phone bricked?
B: Can I make this phone work on a GSM carrier?(It is SIM unlocked and CID unlocked I think, but not sure if it still is after Task29 cleared the memory).
C: What ROM would I need to do this?
D: I am familiar with flashing as I have flashed several ROMs with my ATT Tilt. I was pretty sure I did everything correctly, so I'm not sure what happened.
Any help would be lifesaving because I dont want to further screw myself.

It seems that you may have bricked your device. You may be able to prepare a goldcard using QMAT and unbrick it this way.
If you manage to unbrick your device then there is a way to get it working with AT&T or T-Mobile. However, you will get EDGE (2.5G) at best. You can use the method described here or look for the OliPro SIM unlock. Keep in mind that both of these methods cost money. You can then flash it with a proper CDMA ROM like this one.
Note: if it was already HardSPL'd like you said, then you will only have to flash the ROM. If you are not getting service on a GSM carrier, though, you will have to SIM unlock again. Task 29 should not lock the SIM or change the radio, so that should not have had any effect. Also, once you've used Task 29, you will need to flash a new ROM using the RUU. To do this, put your phone into bootloader mode (hold down the volume down key right when the phone starts up)
I wish you the best of luck!
I actually had the OliPro SIM unlock done already, paid the money and am downloading the ENERGY ROM as we speak. Should know in a few if it will work. :CROSSFINGERS:
Ok, now I got the rom flashed over(Yay!), but I still dont know how to get it to work with my sim card. It still reads as Security Unlocked on the bootloader, and ever recognizes my Sim card contacts, but when I make a call it gives me a message saying my account could not be validated. Do I need to do something to get it onto GSM? Or do I just need a new radio? If it is a new radio, will I need GSM or CDMA from now on? And speaking of which, will I need CDMA or GSM roms for this pphone? Sorry about all the questions, I have always used ATT& T-Mobile phones in the past, so this was never an issue.
Ok, very strange. It says I have a voicemail, knows all my SIM contacts, reads my weather automatic, but I still cant make a call. I did another HardSPL, and did the SIM unlock again, went in and changed the phone band to GSM, just to be sure, but it still has a voice message when I try to make a call that says "Your account cannot be validated, please contact customer service". I'm pretty lost at this point so any help would be great. I am glad to know this phone isn't bricked though
You're in the wrong forum. This particular forum is for the GSM Rhodium, you have a CDMA forum (albeit one that can work on GSM networks too). So you need the CDMA version of HardSPL and a CDMA ROM to make it work (if it hung on the splash screen then you flashed the wrong type of ROM).
Folks in the CDMA sub-forum may be able to advise you about getting it to roam on a GSM network. Also try ppcgeeks.com , which tends to have more CDMA users.

I'm actually not stuck on the splash screen anymore. I flash The ENERGY rom over and it worked in the sense that I'm no longer stuck in splash screen. Now I can Get sim contacts, weather. I just cant make calls or send text, Internet ect. I just get a voice message that says "your account cannot be validated"
I'm still not sure
ok, but you're still in the wrong forum though. You're asking questions about a phone with CDMA ROM, and this sub-forum is for GSM ROMs. I suggest going to NRG's thread on ppcgeeks.com, there's a link to that in his thread here.
UPDATE: Finally got it, just needed to search for networks again. I thank everyone for the help.
And will remember the CDMA sub-forum in the future
