I just unpacked my vario a couple of hours ago and im already in deep ****
I played around with it a bit first, unlocked it so could get my old sim in it, en then i wanted to unlock it with lokiwiz to install a different rom so i could get rid of the t-mobile junk they put on there.
Lokiwiz loaded al the files correctly and performed a reset on my vario, when is rebooted it needed my pin code, but i thought my new sim was still in there instead of the old one. So i put in the wrong pincode, then it asked for my puk code.. I thought:wait a minute i need my other sim, so i changed the sim and rebooted. And now it just stopped working, its loading everything up to the today screen, when it pops up the window to enter the pincode, i do this and press enter, then i get the message:unknown sim status
When i try to enter the sim for the second time or wait for a minute i get the message: DATACRASH contact service center.
I tried a hard reset, and even got into the today screen without the pincode, where i went to the config screen en used the option to set averything back to factory settings. It rebooted and started the install all over again, and the t-mobile customization stuff.. so i thought nice! working again
But i was wrong, it still has the same problem..i tried the sim in another phone and it is working correctly, so it must be the vario itself that i destroyed..
I contacted the service center and someone from the repair department is contacting me monday, but im afraid they know what there talking about and he/she will find out i tried to unlock it..
So is there anyone that has any idea how im going to get out of this mess?? I dont want to start my new year like this..
I'm just guessing but you could try running lokiwiz again.
Use lokiwiz tool again pls and use both Unlock and CID Unlock tools (means to run it twice)...this mean should help I used lokiwiz02b version flawlessly
yeah i thought of that to but when there's no sim card in the device i cant connect it to my pc, activesync isnt showing any connection.
With a simcard in it i cant boot it up so then i cant get a connection either.
I dont know if a BT connaction would work but i dont have BT on my pc so..
It should connect regardless of the presence of the sim card.

Agreed , without SIM it should start up in a mode similar to "flight Function"
omg im was about to cry yestersday.. i reinstalled activesync 38245 times and did 84567 hard resets on the vario, sometimes it would connect for 5 seconds but then loose it again..
At about 3AM i found out that the usb cable i was using was broken, i took the cable from my camera and it worked like a charm...
So i could run the unlock software again and did it the wright way now :wink:
Ive just been playiong around with tomtom and themes etc, so everything is back to a working order and the fun begins 8)
Tnx to everyone who helped me out!
Is that the cable you got with your Vario? Mine seems to be crap too, the one from my camera is working fine.
indeed, got one from my psp wich is working like a charm, the cable that came with it only works when i push it down..

my phone seems locked, i tried to use vodafone SIM card, but my phone does not working.
anyone got idea?
did you http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php ?
unlocking prog
here you go mate, worked on my xda11i, unzip, use sync to put it in your fne and run from there, orange and t mobile worked for me, the 3 network did not but i think they too expensive anyway for what you get
Thanks a lot!
hi, i just tried, buy it said an error occured while unlocking your phone. see xdadev-all-unlock.log file for details.
turned off the flight mode, it works, thanks.
I have to use xdadev_all_unlock-v1.6_138.exe but after having to place on my xdaì O2 it asks me a code , for my sim O2 help me
Sorry to regurgitate an old thread but I am having a problem unlocking my xda, I have to to turn off flight mode but my O2 sim has expired, so I cannot turn off flight mode, any ideas of how to get around this, or will I have to find an O2 sim to put in my phone?
I think you may well have to find any old O2 sim to just bung in. When I unlocked my XDA, I had my sim in the device (I did it literally a week after I got it), and it ran through its algorithms and cracked the software running on the unit to unlock it Never tried it without a SIM in, but I'd imagine it wouldn't work as the protection layer wouldn't be loaded...
Mark, if you havn't gotten around to fixing it yet, try buying an O2 PAYG sim for a tenner, any O2 shop in London should have one.
okay so i have a blue angel ph20b and its for telstra...well it was until i flashed it with the wmo5 rom
Helmi_WM2k5_AKU3.2_32mb_v1.3.2_16mb_bitpool_32mbRamdisk
that one to be precise.
anyway that thing has a folder in exrom/operators that is called
3-DUALBAND_ALL.sa
now i put that on the storage folder in the phone and ran it. it said it installed it n yeah watev. now i've been using a 3 sim in this device for ages, just its an inactive sim i only put it in so the device works n like its phone mode is off.
now i have another sim i put into this that is active, like i use this in a seperate phone, i put it in the blue angel in the hopes it'll let me turn phone mode on and use it as a phone.
well after installing that file above i tried it and....well nothings changes, i still cant turn on phone mode and use it as a phone.
can anybody advise me on how to, if its possible, get my blue angel to actively use this 3 simcard (as in 3/hutchinson the 3g network).
I have no idea if this device is network locked either, i.e locked to telstra, wen i try to unlock it with itsme's tool (just incase it is locked) i experience an error.
so yeah thats about all i know, all help is much appreciated
thankx (btw i love this forum and all the contributers you guys rule! if i wasnt so stupid with this stuff i'de help lol)
Its a known prob...
Check out the posts in the forum mate.. The Phone pin screen does not switch sometimes properly..
Just go to the menubar at the top, hit the phone icon with the X, hit settings, and then a pin screen will pop up!
Enter the pin and away you go.
(Actually... i removed the pin number from my sim card, coz it got a bit annoying after a while!)
greetz..

If it's a H3GUK SIM it WILL NOT work in the BA - end of story.
H3GUK make it so that their SIMs will ONLY work in 3G phones (otherwise the phone would roam onto O2/Orange and cost 3 money). Only the older SIMs work in 2G phones, and if 3 catch you they disable the sim and send you a nice, new, 3G only sim.
ohh damn 3 Grrr i knew i shudnt have gotten their damn plans now i'm stuck for another 16 months or so omfgg *cries*
thanx for reply though, now i can stop trying lol
What I said is definately true for H3GUK. I'm not sure whats H3G's policies are in other countries though.

Can you not just boot up with no sim installed? I've done that before, it works OK as far as I remember.
I have a big problem which I hope all you Kaiser gurus can offer some advice:
I got my Kaiser two weeks ago, pop in my USA T-mobile sim card (GSM only) and it worked perfectly. I then went over to Taiwan and the device was put in Airplane mode for about 10 days. When I get back to the states, the phone no longer works; all other features of WM6 works except it the phone service.
It cannot find the t-mobile network regardless in auto or manual network selection mode. I tried the SIM card on my other phone and it works perfectly so that rules out the SIM card. I did a hard reset and it didn't cure the problem.
Question is, can the altitude or air cabin pressure somehow killed the phone portion of the unit?
What other diagnostic methods do you recommend?
Hmm I dont know if this is a good idea but emergency services like 911 should still work, even without service. And by that I mean without being signed up for service. So it might help to test 911, then hang up if it rings once. Just to see if your radio still works. If it does, then the issue might be that the phone is not configured correctly to T-mobile.
Now this is only true in the USA. I'm not sure where you are from. But given that the USA has just about the oldest infrastructure in any developed nation, I'm confident it can only be better where you are from.
No, 911 does not work. Does this mean my radio is fried? What can I do?
hmm... this sounds like a bad radio flash gone wrong... and not saying so!
I tried it with my friend's AT&T Sim and it worked perfectly. Does it mean it's the carrier's problem?
it means probably your phone got sim lock somehow. Just do hard spl and unlock it.
I'd get another T-Mobile sim card if your device works fine with an AT&T sim. I realize you said your T-Mobile sim works great in another phone, but that's the only thing that makes sense.
Ok I'll try that. Problem is, I have several other T-mobile lines and I tried those SIMS already and no cigar.
Anyone else can contribute any ideas? HTC is not support me because this is an import phone.

This is MISLEADING info !
Hard-SPL = CID unlock = ROM options
it does NOT unlock the SIM !!
hello all
i got the "no sevice" problem which looks like the same as Valleydog's.
i got my kaiser about 1 month, everything goes very well
today im in class and turn on the flight mode.
when i turn off the flight mode, it cant find the sevice any more,it tells "no sevice"
i cant dial any number including 911,86,110 etc......i swap my friends' cards they couldnt work,too
oh,just a nightmare to me, i flash the htc ship rom(which contains a radio),problem still...
could anybody help me, was it suddenly sim locked? possible?
Why such bad thing happens on me(good person)...........
KAIS130 with hspl v1,flashed many roms without problem,just this problem suddenly scares me
Sheng
This happened to me briefly the other day; running a stock T-Mobiles Vario III with NO rom flashing done to it.
I went to make a call and there was no service. The phone had been in my pocket for a while. I soft reset it and it worked after that, but took about 5 minutes before it picked up a signal... It's been fine since though.
This really sucks... I will head down to the T-mobile store and try out all their SIM cards until I find one that works.
The thing that puzzles me is that the other carrier's SIM (AT&T) works fine

Haha....im sure its got nothin to do with that....mebbe u dun pray enough
Here's an update...I tried 3 working SIMS cards in T-mobile store on my phone and it still does not get signal.
Very frustrated at this point.
My phone worked intermittently at one point but now it's dead again. What a piece of crap.
This is so annoying, and HTC have no answer regarding this issue.
It is clearly not a hardware fault!!!
I have the same problem & it is so frustrating you guys can't imagine.
I have always loved HTC machines, but I am thinking never again!
Regards

saper747 (andre),
Where are you located and what have you done to troubleshoot the problem so far?
Did you call T-Mobile to see if they have something configured wrong on their end? If the phone works with an AT&T sim, it would seem something on T-Mobile's side wasn't right.
There is nothing wrong as confirmed by T-mobile, the same SIM works on any other unlocked phone except my Kaiser

I am located in Israel I have tried 7 sim cards (2 -cellcom,3 -orange,1 -02 uk& 1-t-mobile ) non of them work on my Kaiser but they do in any other phone!!!
I have done soft resets & hard resets nothing helps.
it all started after I was trying to roam to another country and a day later my battery went dead, the next thing i new it wouldent register any network ,
Have tried several different Sim cards from Cingular. So i know it's not my Sim card.
So here's the Story. I bought the phone on ebay, knowing it had some kind of stupid SIM lock on it. I figured no worries, just flash the firmware, and it will go away. So I upgraded to mobile 6 using the Wiki (couldn't do the memory swap unlock thing, since pocket pc 2003 doesn't let you into the OS if it can't use SIM card). So I flashed to mobile 6, everything works great (well.. great, but the clock resets everytime i take the battery out) except it won't let me use the phone, it see's the SIM card (becuase if I take it out, it wines about no SIM), everytime I try to go in the settings for phone or SMS it just says phone is busy wait 15 seconds and try again.
Couple of things I have tried, upgrading Radio... upgrades won't work.
Downgrading back 2003, doesn't work.
Any thoughts?
try buying a new battery. since it is a "second-hand" unit.
i think it's not buffed enough to powerup the phone module.

Thanks for the tip but that didn't help. Got a brand new battery and everything... It's just a little frustrating to have only the PDA functionality but no phone.
i had that kind of problem... i never solved it... but JP did.
it's worth a try...
Click Here and READ the thread... hope it helps...
NightWinggl,
I think you've answered your on question.
If your BA is sim locked to another operator and you didn't manage to unlock it, phone/sim services won't work.
JP
@JP
i thought if the phone is "locked" that would throw an "invalid sim status" not "phone is busy wait 15 seconds and try again"?
@NightWinggl
it wont hurt to try unlocking the phone module as JP said to make sure it's unlocked and accepting your carrier. search for unlock in this forum.
hope that works for you.
Silver,
I'm not sure, but if i remember correclty when i was learning to upgrade my BA and reading the wiki for the first time, i upgraded my BA with Helmi's ROM but didn't SIM unlock it, and i believe the behaviour when using a "locked SIM" was as described by NightWinggl.
No "invalid sim status" or "invalid sim status" or "please insert sim" ... i think.

I have recently managed to install resurrection remix 5.0.2 on my Xperia SP and it works very well except for one major thing, sim card.
When I start my phone I will get a prompt to insert my pin. Nothing wrong here, if I insert incorrect pin I cannot unlock my sim card so it's detected correctly.
After that I will get another prompt to insert a pin, this time it's a little different and the problem with it is it doesn't work. If I input the same pin as I did before it will say "Request for unlocking network wasn't successful" so I can only cancel out of that which will leave my sim card locked.
When I tried to look into settingsI found that "Lock sim card" option was not checked and if I check it, it will ask my to enter my pin which again doesn't work.
I tried setenforce 0 in emulated terminal which did nothing.
Also I looked on internet for this problem with no solution I only remember reading about some script which maybe fixes this issue but I don't know where I saw it or if it actually works.

The script was necessary years ago for a similar problem. Rr502 doesn't need it.
This problem sounds so strange, defectuve hardware could be to blame.
1. Please test your sim in another mobile phone.
If it doesn't work in there too, get a replacement sim from your operator.
2. Start from scratch. Go back to stock rom, test your sim. If it doesn't work then, you have to replace your mainboard. (Get one with unlockable bootloader!)
3. If all your hardware is fine, do ALL stock updates. 207 was the last one as far as I remember. Then, install rr502 again. It should work now.

Thanks for replying. I think I know what the problem is now. My theory is because I installed carrier locked firmware (there were only 2 for my country both carrier locked I guess), my phone locked my network and I had no idea that could happen. So of course I typed in bunch of random codes and wasted all my tries, also had no idea that could happen. That's why I thought It was ROMs fault but it seems that I flashed incorrect firmware and now it's too late. If I go to service menu a go to sim info everything is ok except sim network. And there are 0 tries left. Well now I have different firmware that should work fine with every sim card but phone is locked and the only thing that I learned is if I want to unlock that network it will cost a lot of money. I don't know if there is any other way to unlock it but yeah, it seems that now I'm stuck.

In this case, you definitely need a new mainboard.
There is no hack, no trick, no whatever. New mainboard!
