Hi all and sorry if this question has been answered before but I am new to these forums and am not yet familiar with all the ways on how to search for what I am looking for.
Here is my tale of woe. Two weeks ago I bought an unused (still boxed) XDA IIi from an auction room. I didn't pay a lot for it and was happy with my purchase. I stuck my sim card in and away I went. I was having problems connecting to my home wireless network and wondered why this was happening. Reading a few posts on google many people said to upgrade the radio and things would be ok. I located an upgraded Rom 1.11.00 and proceeded to upgrade my PDA. Halfway through the update I got an error 150 message saying that my PDA could not be upgraded. I read up on this problem and was advised to do a hard reset and try again. Problem is that I cannot perform a hard reset, no matter how long I hold the power and reset buttons together. All I have showing on the screen is The version number 1.00.00 Is there a way of rescuing this device?

I recently bought an XDAIIi from ebay knowing that it was defective. The only defect is that there is no service. Apart from that it is working as a PDA perfectly doing the job that i got it for (SAT NAV). Now i starting thinking of the possible reasons that my phone has no service. So in order to check if the hardware of the phone is ok i tried to do a manual network search. When i clicked on the manual search i got an error message saying " Unable to read setting from the network. Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again". Are there any ideas of what this message means and is there any way to actually fix it?
Note: I am running pug rom with the 02 stuff stipped.
Your Radio hardware is busted to the best of my knowledge ...
you should hard reset.
I managed to kill the service on my 2i once, I cocked up the registry somehow and as soon as I put my pin in it pretty much straight away showed the no service icon (the one with the exclamation mark) regardless of whether I then tapped on it and tried to get service.
Had to hard reset in the end and bingo the problem disappeared (as I suspected it would), but your problem sounds terminal.
are you sure it has not been blocked / black listed with uk networks.
typical reason for no service would be if it had been blocked?
Didn't think of that...
My alpine crashed while driving with tomtom today and I have exactly the same problem.
Looks like it hard reset time.
Hi all,
First post on this great site - keep up the good work!
I have an issue with my MDA Compact II - I've recently sacked my T-Mobile contract, and have a work contract with Orange, which I now use (I've used Lokiwiz to unlock the phone). Unfortunately my Orange SIM doesn't fully work on my MDA. I can make/receive calls with no problems, but whenever I try to send a text message, the following dialogue pops up:
"The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again."
Well, I could wait for 15 hours and it wouldn't change. I've removed the battery, and left that for an hour, still no difference. I've recently upgraded my ROM to see if that would make a difference - no joy. My current version:
ROM - 2.6.2.27 WWE
Any help would be appreciated - I'm having to use an exceedingly boring Nokia 6021 at the moment! I don't really want to resort to just using my MDA as a PDA! Cheers - let me know if you need further information to answer my question.
Upgrade your Radio stack

Worked for me.
Aparently, the SIM's used in a M3100 are designed specifically for these devices and later. Thats the official line from Orange...Just spoke to them for 45 minutes trying out 5 different devices and they have concluded its a "compatability issue"
I was using an M3100 SIM in an M600...although it DOES work in an E650...
Hope this helps!
I've searched the forums on death, loked up, "red light of death" and "radio", and not found a similar posting to this in the Kaiser forums. The closest I found was in the Hermes forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349461&highlight=lockup
So if something like this is already posted, please be kind in pointing it out to me -- I looked.
Basically, similar to Hermes, my Tilt started losing radio ability around the 15th of December -- about the time I used GPS on it for about 1.5 hours straight. Symptoms began as a failure to receive calls, then a failure to be able to send them. At some point I still had internet connectivity, but then that went out completely, too.
I tried several soft resets, and that did not solve the problem. So I backed everything up and hard reset. No dice there, either. I then took my Tilt to a local AT&T store; after switching out the SIM, they directed me to the AT&T warranty number (my Tilt was purchased 10/10/2007). I called the warranty number, and they directed me to a repair site within 25 miles of me. I went there, they tested it, confirmed that it would need to be replaced under warranty and then told me that they don't stock them.
Bottom line is that AT&T warranty service sucks -- I can't get a replacement phone until Wednesday, January 2nd (normally it would be 24-48 hour replacement, but New Years interrupted that). Of course, I do not find it reasonable to pay $400 for a phone and then not be able to get an immediate replacement when the sucker craps out -- assuming supplies on hand (which the original store had!)
Anyway, in case any of you also experience this (the breaking phone, not the poor AT&T service -- I assume everyone will experience that, eventually), here are my phone's particulars:
ROM version: 1.57.502.2
ROM date: 08/25/07
Radio version: 1.27.12.11
Protocol version: 22.45.88.07H
The phone has about 21+ hours of calls through it, too.
So now I am using my old XDA IIs with a cracked screen so I can have a phone at all... And am waiting on Wednesday to hurry up and get here so I can go back to using a Tilt. And I am really hoping that the refurbished unit I get is in as good of a shape as the one I am returning.
Has anyone heard of this before?
dear friends
i have an at&t tilt.
i left u.s.a for a project about a month ago and i wanted to use my tilt here with a different sim card, i called at&t before i move and they gave me a code to enter to use my tilt but it didn't work.
i am just a user and i don't know how to work professionally with my cell and i started to read xda-developers to find out how to solve my problem and i found a thread about how to break the at&t code and use it with another sim card.in that thread mentioned several times that if you don't do it right you can damage your tilt and i really didn't want to brick my cell that is why i gave it to someone known as to be a professional in htc. he opened it and also changed its windows mobile to a htc version which i very nice and i can use it now but there is a very bad problem with it but this time i want to solve the problem myself.
the problem is sometimes (most of the time) it gets so slow that i have to keep pressing the surface up to 3 seconds to work (touch pad has got very slow) it is just like it is frozen but it is not it is just damn slow,very annoying it is just like it doesn't have enough memory or there is a problem with cpu or ... ?
i still don't have any programs on my cell. i reset it several times but it didn't help.
please help me
yours truly
ray

Hi all,
This is my 1st Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S) its 5 days old and seems to have a problem.
When I surf the net through my wifi connection at home after 10>20 mins of use its freezes, vibrates then crashes back to my home screen. Once at home screen it then vibrates 3 more times.
Its not rooted or running any additional software.
I've reset it 3 times to see if this helps but it doesnt.
Today I phoned Samsung support (uk) and they said it sounds like a software issue and they asked me to takes it to car phone warehouse so they could check it over.
I dropped into cpw house and explained my problems and they said they would re flash the firmware. 1 hour later I picked the phone up and went back home.
When i got home I checked the phone over to discover they had down graded it from 2.2 to 2.1.
I surfed the net for abit over my wifi connection and didnt seem to have any issues but the gremlins got the better of me and I decided to upgrade the firmware through Kies to version 2.2.
The way I see it I purchased 2.2 Froyo not 2.1 Eclair.
Since updating to 2.2 I'm back to having issues with wifi where it freezes, vibrates then crashes to home screen and vibrates 3 more times.
Please can someone help because I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or software.
Thx in advance !!
hi
you need to understand one thing
The Phone is on carers software, and by that it is meant to do whatever
carer decided it to do....
Without Rooting your phone ( what is breaching of your warranty)
De branding it ( in most of the cases)
And Un locking it.
there is not much you can do other than referring to the Carphone warehouse once again, for a WORKING software for your phone.
You can see witch Froyo Base/Breed you have in system informations
and then look for the answers for that specific Base/ Breed
But if you decide to Root your phone then tutorials for that are hire just google for it, its really easy, if you know what are you doing
best luck

Thx for your reply xiadz.
Please let me extend..
The phone does not and wasn't purchased from the car phone ware house.
I purchased it from a local add. It was an upgrade and the previous owner was happy with his Iphone so I decided to purchase it from him (unopened and in the box) It is unlocked to any carrier and I have tried 3 different simm cards in it so it doesnt require unlocking.
Ive looked into the rooting and lag fixes but this didnt fix my problem.
I appreciate your help thou
