Ok guys, sorry if this is a newb question but i did allot of research before posting, if anyone has links that are know to work that will help.
Ive rooted a friends phone and put JacxHeroski on it, i found a few tip threads like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452316&page=6 and this actually worked till i rebooted, now i get the (no sim card) warning and a emergency dialer so i cant access the home/touchflo screen.
My friend doesn't have a sim or data plan but just got a phone. I dont need to run it with another carriers sim, just no sim at all. Thanks for any help guys
I think you need a sim to get past setup, errrr maybe not though cuz hero roms shouldn't "require" it. Did it work fine when it was on the stock rom w/ no sim?

hero is goting to the no sim screen and onlt letting me access the dial pad for 911. i didnt do a account setup, but at first i got past it by issuing the recommended sqlite command and rebooting, but now its doing it again
JACxHero worked for me without a SIM card. I suggest wiping/reflashing.
Are you sure it's not just the normal lock screen? The lock screen for Hero with SenseUI is quite a bit different, and I know it'll show an error saying no SIM card, but if you hit menu or slide the window down it'll go away.
Just press the home button when that screen comes up. It's kinda annoying that you have to press home after pressing power ot wake up the phone. Why doesn't yout friend just get a pay as you go tmo SIM, and not use it? Won't cost you anything...
Is there anyway to disable the emergency dial capability. I am using my old G1 as a media pc remote control/vnc client/mp3 player/ web browser/ toy etc..... and i dont want my daughter to accidentally initiate an emergency call, or myself for that matter. is there something i could disable, or an app that would do this?
Thanks

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.
hi everybody, somewhat new to this forum and really enjoying it
i've came across a problem with my att tilt and searched for about 2 days straight looking for a solution..i couldnt find one
so a little history of what i've done with my tilt..
-removed all of att programs by 'clear storage' and then pushing the soft reset before it loads
-downloaded the htc home plugin, htc home customizer, wizard dialer, kaiser tweak with the new xml file from dec 2007, and i have a black theme and a san francisco bridge theme that i switch back to
now the problem is I CANT MAKE/RECEIVE PHONE CALLS/TEXT
one thing i notice is that the network or service it is using (G, E, or 3G) is mostly on E and that is when i cannot make make or received calls or text, even with full bars. i've never had this problem before until about a week now
the last thing i did to my phone was download the new dec 2007 xml file for kaiser tweak. the phone worked fine for about a week until my problem occured
the only time i can get my phone to work is when it is in 3G or G and i rarely see those being used on my phone.
i've tried clear storage a bunch of times to see if it would change but it doesnt
i believe this isnt a network problem because everyone in my house has att, i can only thing its a phone problem
if anyone has any solutions or comments please help me out
i've had this phone since thanksgiving so worst case scenario, i turn it in to htc to get a new one
thanks
anybody ever run into this problem or anything similar with their tilt?
Did you allow the network config tool to run after the first reset? Are you using a custom rom or the default?
what radio are you running?
im not sure what the network config tool is and im using a default rom
im not sure what radio im using, how do i got about finding out what radio im using?
If you don't mind losing all of your data do a hard reset (hold the two soft keys and press the sytlus in the bottom of the phone) Go ahead and set up the device...once this is done a dialogue box should pop up saying something about Autoconfig will take place, or something like that. Let this proceed all on its own...it should after its done ask if you want to soft-reset now, select yes and you should be in business.
what are the two soft keys?
and also..does it matter if i have a simcard in the phone or not?
is the 'clear storage' the same as the hard reset?
hard reset is to hold the two soft keys and the stylus button on the bottom
what are the two soft keys?
Clear Storage essentially is, but mentally for me its different . In any event the soft keys are the unmarked keys directly to the right of your green call button and to the left of the red end button. After autoconfig/customization takes place...it probably will load all the crap back on the device, just FYI. If you truly want to get rid of stuff, you'll probably want to start researching ultra-clean roms, but from the sounds of things you're not quite ready to get into that yet, and you can screw your device if you don't read up on things properly.
i've done the hard reset and let everything load after that..i have all the att bloat ware..but i didnt see a autoconfig for the network
im still having the same problem
my service/network only works on E, whenever it is on G or 3G, its one bar and when i try to call or text, the phone disconnects and goes to E
any other advice?
Hmm, how old is your sim card?
I had the same problem. I had a few 3rd party applications installed. I called Att, they tried calling themselves with obviously no luck (busy signal, or straight to voicemail). I took out the sim card and tried my 2 year old phone and it worked fine. They sent me a replacement 2 days ago and it has been working fine since.
my sim card is about 2 years old i think
it looks like im gonna have to get a replacement
thanks for your help guys
I'd try a new sim card first...had a similar problem with my kaiser at first, but not quite the same. It may save you the days of a non-working unit. Sim cards are free and quick (just go to your local att store)
i used a friends sim card..same thing
i tried calling att TWICE and they said it might be a network problem and told me to call back later???
its obvious i need a new phone
who should i contact and what should i do..im trying to return my phone to get a working one

How long have you had your phone?
If it is under 30 days, go back to an AT&T Store (even if you bought it via phone or online) they will exchange it for you. If you don't have an account, MAKE SURE you take your receipt. If you are an AT&T customer you don't even have to bother with the receipt, they will just look up your account for you.
If you are an AT&T customer (may also apply if your not) and have had your phone over 30 days, then you have to call warranty exchange department. 1-800-801-1101
They will go through a few steps with you, then will make arrangements to send you out a new phone.
BEWARE:
Make sure you have LOTS of free time when you call, you WILL be on the phone forever lol.
I am on my 5th Tilt, I hope you have better luck than I have so far
*BUMP* I recently came across the same problem and I am only able to send and recieve text messages. I can not recieve or send calls but I get a new voicemail notification when 1 is recieved.... HELP!!!
Help! Unlocked Tilt Problems
i recently purchased a tilt online and it is brand new everything is fine with the phone but i unlocked the phone because my company switched from att to tmobile, so before i unlocked the phone my att 3g sim card worked fine with the phone, wifi worked fine 3g icon came up in network bubble at the top taskbar...but after i unlocked the phone and placed the tmobile sim card in the tilt, no Edge or gpsr icon shows up at the top next to the signal strength icon and when i click on wifi and go online everything works fine but after i go back to commanager to turn off the wifi....the wifi icon doesnnt go away from the top taskbar..its just shows the no signal wifi icon when the wifi is off. So then i took the tmobile sim card out and placed the cingular sim back in the phone and when i click on the wifi button and then press it again in commanager to turn wifi off the icon, it goes away like normal....so is there something wrong with my tmobile sim card? which is why its not showing any edge or gprs icons for some reason? even though i dont have a data plan i should see when i am in an edge area...what is annoying me the most is when i place this tmobile sim in the tilt, the wifi icon wont go away when the wifi is being turned off in wireless manager. PLz help this is very strange and i cant seem to find out how to gain these icons and lose the wifi icon when wifi isnt on.
wow are u serious nobody has had prblems with the wifi icon not going away or any other icons not going away when there not supposed to be turned on? ..this is a huge forum i know i can find someone to help me figure out why this tmmobile sim card is doing this to my phone and not allowing the wifi icon to go away from the top task bar when i go into comm manager and press the wifi off button it doesnt work...the wifi radio itself turns off and theres no data being sent to the phone from the wireless router but the icon stays on the phone and the only way to get rid of the icon is to go in comm manager and press the phone button to turn of all connections to my phone. This problem only occurs with my current tmobile sim card which is being used in an ATT 8925 unlocked tilt PLZ somebody help me get rid of this problem

I am not one to help because I am also a noob and your issues are not ones I have seen. BUT - let me give you what help I can:
Recommendations -
1. use punctuation.
2. use concrete sentences
3. specifically tell what you did and enumerate each problem separately
4. indicate what ROM you are using
5. indicate what changes you made to your phone AFTER you went to the TMOBILE card
Now - here are some guesses -
1. you had an AT&T phone with AT&T connection strings - and you think that unlocking the phone and simply putting in a TMOBILE card will make the phone work?
My guess is that you are going to have to change some data connection strings at least? AT&T is not going to allow you to use media net to surf the internet with no contract using a TMobile card.
Remember - you are asking people to use their spare time to help you fix YOUR screwup. Make it easy for them to read and help you.

moegdaog:
run this cab file on your phone and after doing a Soft Reset, go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connection Setup and choose T-Mobile from the list if the program doesnt run on its own.
Thanks to Dutty for putting this together for us to share with the ones not familiar with it.
that didnt work...all it did was add tmobile data to my connections. My wifi icon still doesnt go away from top taskbar when i turn wifi off. Since i unlocked this att phone an im using a tmobile sim card, do u think i should install the official tmobile windows mobile 6 for HTC phones? seems that this tmobile sim card is the culperate of making this wifi error, because when i take this sim out and place an old cingular sim in the phone it doesnt do this error. Wifi turns off when its suppose to and no icons hang around. If anybody has ever heard of this problem plz help...i dont want to go to the last resort of switching to WM 6.1 right now or something i like WM6

I will bet that you are not going to get help -
1. you use run on sentences that are VERY difficult to read
2. you do not specifically state your problem or goal
3. you state "that did not work" you do not QUOTE what you were trying so no one knows what THAT is (although I am suspecting that you ran the suggested cab file)
You need to:
1. use EXPLICIT SHORT sentences
2. engage the CARRIAGE RETURN KEY
3. enumerate your issues
4. tell us what you want to happen - we CANNOT guess what you have hosed up
5. Not an expert - so you will need someone else to tell you that this is true - but each company "brands the device and makes it so that the phone works with their system. If you are leaving AT&T and going with TMOBILE I suspect that you MAY need to flash to a ROM that works specifically with TMOBILE BUT
SPECIFICALLY STATE what you want - for example:
I have an HTC TILT - it was an AT&T phone and I want it to work on TMOBILE -
Currently - nothing works on the phone and here is what i have done.....
or
Currently everything works on the phone EXCEPT...
Just my opinion and I am going to quit responding to your message (which you may actually appreciate) as it is obvious that they have no effect.

dood whk im not in english class....im on an online forum trying to get help to fix my phone..get a clue or get a life cuz obviously u have nothing better to do but tell people to use punctuation when im obviously not worried about how i type in a freakin forum u jerkoff...and for have this thread up for a week and getting limited help on what i ACTUALLY NEED HELP ON MY ATT TILT AND WHY A TMOBILE SIM MAKES MY WIFI ICON NOT GO AWAY WHEN IM DONE WITH WIFI AND TRY TO TURN IT OFF..THE DATA STOPS BUT THE ICON DOESNT GO AWAY FROM THE TOP OF MY PHONE...IT JUST STOPS SEARCHING FOR SERVICE WHEN I PRESS THE WIFI OFF BUTTON...there, so i guess i need to use a new rom and flash a radio or wutever that is....that conection setup cab only put tmobile data in my conections. It did nothing to switch att defaults in the phone to tmobile, thnx anywayz guy who gave me that app....if anyone has had these issues with tmobile sims plz respond and not reply with english lessons
well no one is goin to read that type of garbage if its just one bigass blurb of words together...i'm with whk...and caps doesnt help either...maybe thats why no one wants to help u...and if u cant be bothered about the way u type...we cant be bothered to give u assistance ...just a headsup
well i solvd the problem myself by changing radios...thats all sommebody had to say..some of you arre a buncha idiots like whk....i didnt post this thread to get grammer lessons, i posted to get some damn help you morons so if u wana tell people how to type go to a fckin word proccessing forum u flamers
Good luck here in the forums, if you can't manage to follow something as basic as proper grammar and spelling, no one will bother reading what you have to say.
I for one, read MAYBE the first sentence in your posts apart from the last, and I'm certain I'm not alone.
and FYI, a better attitude will get you along ways here if you intend to stay. Your current attitude could likely result in a ban, and that causes issues when you need help.

Hello, i got a G1 from my cousin, so i cant use it yet but im the 1st day,
i can still use the "camera, calculator and some of the apps, it happens that i wipe-out the datas. but now i discover to make an update that some1 instructed me to do this.
1. Go here: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list
2. Download this: signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip [8th in the list]
3. Rename it: update.zip
4. Place it on your SD card
5. Put SD card in phone. Reboot holding the Power and home buttons.
6 Apply the update...
7. Done.
but then i cant even still see those apps like camera's bar code reader,
calculator etc.. is there a way to see those? or i now need to get an unlock
pin to activate the phone and see those apps?
my phone is 2weeks nothing to do ><
all i can see is the emergency calls xD
Is it asking you to sign in to google?
I'm not really of your scenario, you're using a t-mobile SIM, right? When I got my G1 I didn't have a t-mobile SIM, so all I could do is use emergency call until I unlocked it. Thing is, when you factory reset your SIM unlock is still retained, so I don't really see how this is possible...
So we can understand what happened.
-The phone worked fine
-you factory reset
-Applied that update
-it's asking for a code
Is it an unlock code (for the SIM) or a gogle sign-in?

First of all thanks for replying bro, its really appreciated
i got my G1 without a T-mobile sim card. so if i put a sim from here
it ask for a pin and also requires me to sign in tio google.
how to fix? or the only way is to get it unlocked?
coz samehere i only can use emergency call xD
so you have an rooted locked g1 and you what? Hard to follow the conversation
If you're not on tmobile you need to purchase an unlock code, you can buy them on ebay for about $15/£10. They will ask for your IMEI. Never publicly post your IMEI. If you see one really really cheap, make sure they are going to give you the code, rather than tell you how to unlock.
After thatyou need apn settings for your carrier, press menu, enter those and sign in.

I will ask him a favor to get me a "UNLOCK PIN" for the G1 then i will give my IMEI to him.
and hopefully will get the code after a days.
When it Success, what will i do next? i will need "APN Settings"? i dunno that yet xD.. where can i find the settings? and will i need to have wifi connection?

did your cousin originally have tmobile? what he can do is call tmobile and say that he sent his g1 overseas to his cousin as a present... jus tmake sure you tell him the IMEI number found on the back of the phone when u take out the battery first before he calls tmobile..
tmobile will give him the unlock code thru email within 24hours.
if he didnt have tmobile then the only thing u can do is buy the unlock code.preferably ebay.
a lot of apps use data. so apps that use internet and such will not work since there is no SIM in it. u need a sim with a data plan. but u can use the phone over wifi. no calls but download from market and browse the web.
PM me so i can walk u thru. more things.

I found a HTC S730 and I have updated the ROM to WM 6.1 (Alc) But I cannot make any phonecalls or recieve any and I cannot recieve or send text messages. I have taken the phone to a local phone shop and he said the phone has been blocked, this is a very nice phone and I would like to use it too make calls, is there any way I can make the phone features work again?
Thanks in advance

I suppose you are able to switch it on and get into home screen right? So, are you able to navigate through menus etc...? If you put a SIM card what happens? Is the phone able to find and log onto the network? Give more technical details. Not just conclusions of your tryings.
or as your last chance you could hard reset your phone, or flash another rom...
I think his radio is dead. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get into writing SMS and then trying to send those, and failing... If the phone was locked, it wouldn't allow him to get into GUI or Home Screen. Or it would say that the SIM card is not accepted (locked to a specific network).
if it is Operator locked he need a SIM UNLOCK, but don't know if it is work for the wings...
Okay sorry about the lack of technical information. When I found the phone it had a password so I performed a hard reset by holding the two soft keys and pressing the power button, I then flashed the ROM to Alc's WM 6.1 . I inserted a T-Mobile sim card and on the phones home screen it says 3G T-Mobile and there is clearly signal but the phone will not make any calls or send text messages, is there anything I can do?
So what happens exactly when you press the Call button? Does it give any error message? Or it just doesn't do anything?
It looks like its about to ring then it just makes a beeping sound and says 'call ended' ive tried all sorts of different sims all with the same outcome.
When you brought it to the phone shop they told you the phone had been blocked, that possibly means the IMEI number of the phone is blocked so no sim would work in it.
Have a read of this

I never experienced IMEI blocked phones. However, if you can't make it work, there is one possibility. You can send it to me and I can try it here.
