Hi,
I recently "Upgraded" from my good and faithful wizard (Vario I) to the almost as good and almost as faithful TyTN II (Vario III).
After flashing my Wizard, it instantly removed the SIM Lock (Or I dont remember doing any extra steps for doing so).
I recently flashed HSPL and Ive tried a couple of ROMS for the TyTN and while testing around I shoved in a SIM card from another mobile provider, I found out with great surprise that my TyTN II is still SIM locked.
I had been wondering why my device seems so sluggish and slow, could It be I flashed it wrong? Or is it "Normal" for it to be still SIM locked even after flashing the HSPL?
Thanks!
Did you use the sim-unlocker? (you can find it here)
After this step you can use the vario III with every simcard
here it is

Yes it is normal. The roms and spl you flashed are the OS and the bootloader. You havent changed the radio which is the simlocked bit.

I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what the heck is going on my my MDA's and hope someone here can help.
A few weeks ago my MDA (8 months old) started to only connect to Cingular's cellular system and would actually make a phone call 1 out of 5 attempts. When trying to dial a number it would drop all signal and then go into a searching loop for a few minutes before connecting back to Cingular. This was with the 2.26 custom ROM from this forum.
I called tech support from Tmobile and they sent me a replacement. This unit came with 1.08 and worked for maybe two days before starting the same problem. I then tried the custom 2.26 ROM and the official 2.26 from Tmobile with no luck. Last week I went to a Tmobile store and explained my situation and the store manager gave me a brand new MDA (G3). Everything worked great until I decided to flash to the Tmobiles 2.26 ROM yesterday and all hell broke loose. My the MDA connects to Cingular again and can go hours just searching for signal.
My wife has a MDA with the custom 2.26 ROM and does not have any issues. I can switch SIM's and the problem stays with the MDA. The only thing is I can not go into the phone settings and manaully connect to Tmobile. When it works (doesn't tell me it can find a network and to disconnect the data connection even though there isn't one) I see two Cingulars in the network selection box.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or is something getting screwed up when I CID unlock the phone?
No one has experienced this problem? I have a third MDA on its way but interested in finding out the actual problem.
Network
Have you looked at the selection?
Settings/Connections/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks
Is T-Mobile there? Is Cingular ahead of it? If not, does it have the problem in other areas? It may be connecting to Cingular because it is stronger.
One other thought, try the 2.47 radio rom. My MDA (which doesn't have your difficulty) has worked much better. It won't overwrite your files to flash it.
I have had the same MDA for about 6 months, unlocked twice, with the older 1.8, and the newer 2.26 T-Mobile ROM's.
That's just odd, it must be some problem with the unlocking.
if Htc charmer (Mda compact II) is simlocked
what happens when you put a non-accepted (other providers simcard)
will it ask for any code or not? normally other Htc pocket pcs ask a Network / restriction code..
it will explode and burn everything in 2km diameter, like nuclear bomb.
seriously - i have never seen charmer simlocked. imho t-mobile has never put simlock into it - i had two charmers, one from t-mobile CZ and second one from t-mobile DE and none of them was locked.
Hi Guys
Just got my new Tmobile Vario III. The problem is I cannot hear any conversation while making or receivng calls. Phone displays that I have connected, Dialling Etc. I do not know id that is due to sim unlock or manufacturer's fault. I have tried tmobile, o2 sims but no joy. The sim works fine on my original phone.
Do you think it is manufacturer's fault or just upgrading to wm6.1 will solve the issue?
regads
hello,
have you hardreset your device?
greetings
I have done hard reset twice but still no joy
regards
Dear experts, developers, cookers and users..
I have a problem that is quiet strange and which I can't explain.
I bought a MDA Compact IV with a T-Mobile Netherlands subscription.
The phone is Simlock-free and currently I use AlphaZero V7 Rom with the .05 Radio.
The problem is that I can't use my original T-Mobile simcard, while all other cards (al least 5) I tried (including an older type of T-Mobile simcard) work in the phone. I already ordered a replacement card at T-Mobille Netherlands, and this new card also doesn't work in the phone.
The problems becomes stranger when I tell that the specific T-Mobile cards do work in multiple other phones. :S
What can cause this problem, can it be the ROM, Radio or SPL, how can I solve this problem? Thank you in advance.
Radio?
Could this problem be caused by the Radio or SPL or ROM? Is that a possibilty? In that case I'm going to try some flashing..
Solution
Nobody with a possible solution, something I can try?
Hi did you ever find a solution to this problem as ive been searching for days now and cant find a solution
I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact III with German WM 5 purchased locked. At the time (about 2-3 years ago) I have unlocked this phone through your website.
Question is, did it only SIM unlocked it or does the unlock done allows me
also to format my phone and install WM 5 in English/Hebrew. Please guide me if I
need to do additional unlocks and how.
Thank you
