Can't use my SIM card! Operator not supported problem!

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.

What about Simlock after ROM flash?

Hy guys.
I have installed the Touch-IT Xperien 3.5 rom to my SE Xperia.
Because I don't have a simcard of another network I can't test whether my phone is sim locked or not.
Is the simlock active after rom flash?
Thanks

Mine is..
I've also installed the Touch-IT 3.5 WWE (and many others before), but the simlock remains.

Simlock remains. It's a function of the SIMM, not the phone.

**** happens
i got an x1 phone, put in my sim card, locked, please enter code ... okay, first of all i try to save all my contacts from my old phone (slooow)
so, in the meantime, i flashed a custom rom to my x1 (Dynamics_GTX_2.4.5_WWE_Kovsky.nbh)
and now i cant use the phone to call, but i don't get any msg regarding to the sim-lock.
i also cant find it somewhere in the menu.
i already bought the unlock code, but dunno where to enter.
can some one help me? i am completely nuts because i stayed up all night long...
sry for my bad language, completely exhausted
/edit/ i forgot to save the original rom, so i think i would need the original AUSTRIA A1-Mobilcom ROM.
but all links i found on google are down - could i use a rom for a X1i too?

Simlock to a specific sim card?

Hello,
I have a Kaiser locked by the operator.
The phone ONLY works with the original Sim card!
Does not work with cards from other operators, or even from the same operator.
I always get a message: "The SIM card is missing".
I already tried the several tutorials and tools to unlock it.
Even tried to change the ROM to recent versions.
Already tried differente versions of SPL... differente radio patches, different ROM's... 6.0, 6.1...
And no luck.
Never got that "Simlock" window that most tutorials talk about...
Every SIM card I try I get the "The SIM card is missing" message...
PDA features always work ok..
Any ideia?
Thank you so much!

Moved as not ROM Development.

It sounds like you have a sim card reader hardware issue, not a software unlock issue. Once you install a custom rom, your phone is unlocked. When you insert a sim from a different opperator, if the phone is locked, you will get a message like "sim card not supported" or something like that. Not "Sim card is missing". Try putting a small piece of paper behind the card when you close the sim card door. If that does not work, you may need to replace the reader.

The paper did not work...
Is replacis the reader a simple procedure?
Any ideia where i can find a new reader?
I guess my warranty was lost when I changed the ROM...

I'm Seconding the idea that you need something to help force better contact between the SIM card and the contacts inside the phone. I have had this problem before. one one of my Tilts, I just pushed down on the metal piece that covers the sim card...
sim card out, use your thumbnail to push down a bit... until the metal comes in contact with the contacts below. you should see that there is now a slight dip in the metal. then slide the sim card in.
Others have suggested a bit of paper between the sim and metal holder.

I tested both ways...
In last attempt I used a quite ammout of paper between metal and sim!
Almost could not close the door.
Already tried 4 different SIM's....
3 from Vodafone... and it's curious but they all look different in the contacts.
And the one from the original operator.

There is a thread to revert back to stock for warranty purpose check the sticky in ROM Development.

Yes, follow the process in the Wiki to return to the OEM settings, SPL and ROM. Then take it back for warrabty. MAKE SURE AND READ THE ENTIRE WIKI; if you miss one part, they will not warranty the phone. As for replacing the sim reader, it's not hard, you just need to follow the teardown and rebuild steps 100%, also in wiki.

Seen exactly the same (100% same syptoms to the letter) problem as this on 2 HTC Diamonds unlocked with olipro software.
Has the Kaiser been unlocked by the olipro kaiser unlocker ?
The 2 Diamonds had to go into service centre as the problem is linked to the block that is flashed during unlocking & mtty, rom flashing & re-running unlocking software done no good.

Yes...
I followed the tutorial step by step...
Then, the SIM problems happened...
After that, I tried it again with different hardSPL versions... and a the 6.1 ROM.
Both Portuguese and English version and no luck...
Now the problem is that I can't find the WM 6.0 portuguese ROM from my operator to revert it...
I guess I'll need to replace the reader myself..

And a question for anyone reading: does the device work with US SIM cards or is a WU radio going to be needed?

Yes, it works with US SIM cards. I have a T-Mobile SIM card in mine right now.

Ok well one issue. To all who like to have you .nbh file in the SD card so u can flash from the card, that will throw off step 2 in the unlocker. You have to delete your .nbh file from the SD.. just an fyi............. or it will try to reflash your own rom .
Other than that works like a charm!! thanks

thanks a lot, I'll add this to my list of support tips

You can also hit the vol-down button when the dialog comes up to flash the ROM on the card. It will take it back to bootloader and then you can flash from the USB cable.

Just used the tool and it worked! Really appreciate the hard work.
I did run into a few issues though, I am fairly certain that has nothing to do with your software though. It would go through to flash the Radio, but it stayed at 0% and gave the flashing error. Then when I rebooted it went in and Unlocked.
Maybe Verizon updated the SPL since December, but your software still works! Thanks again!!!

Anyone interested in SIM unlocking their HTC Imagio (many other models as well), the Olipro SIM unlocker tool works perfectly. I just unlocked my HTC Imagio and it was very easy.
It also will install HSPL if needed.
Highly recommended.
Thank you Olipro!

Guess i'll have to put a request in, now that i'm going to play with a non-android phone for a while
Hmm, I wonder if i remember how to use windows mobile.

Greetings! I would like to ask about HTC Imagio (refurbished). I pretend to use it here in Central America. How do they work out of the US with SIM cards? Do I need SIM unlocked by Olipro? Thank you for your support.
