Unlocked MDA stop working after visiting operator's network

Hello,
I have unlocked MDA Vario III (T-Mobile DE). I've bought it in Ukraine since nobody is still selling original HTC Kaiser here. It was perfectly working with various custom ROMs from this forum.
Currently it has:
ROM version: DualTouch v2
ROM date: 01/01/08
Radio version: 1.27.12.32
Protocol version: 22.45.88.07H
I was visiting at Germany early this month. Right after landing I has switched device on and GSM module has stopped working. I was visiting at Russia a month ago (also roaming network) and everything was ok. I've returned to Ukraine and GSM still does not work. I have ! sign near antenna icon and "No Service" description. The only network I can see is 25507, this is UMTS operator in Ukraine. All others are pure 900/1800 GSM. I've checked IMEI - it is not changed.
When I make hard reset I see blue light blinking at the device, this means GSM module works, but when OS is loaded blue light is switched off. Everything works fine - GPS, Wifi, Camera etc. Only GSM module is not working. Any ideas?

Follow up. Seller has replaced the broken device. Summary - this is not repairable problem.

US htc touch diamond unable to roam?

I bought the US version of the HTC Touch Diamond a couple of weeks ago. It works perfect in the US with 3G enabled on the ATT network.
However, I'm currently out of the country in Belgium and I can't get it to register onto the local GSM network. The phone finds multiple valid GSM networks.
I checked the GSM coverage maps and the networks are on the 900/1900 bands which this phone should be able to configure.
Here are the versions for my phone:
Radio 1.00.25.08
ROM 1.93.422.4 WWE
ROM date 08/13/2008
Protocol 52.33a.25.17W

Check with your service provider to see if roaming is permitted with your contract. They may be able to enable it for you if you ask them.

thanks, ill check with my service provider. under the bsnd tab i only see 850/190 gsm and 850/1900 umts. are the only radio bands nothe i can manually configure unless i flash to another radio nbh file
?

you do need to ask ATT to
"turn on" international roaming @5.99/mo. This is not automatic even if you have enrolled in the unlimited data plan in the US.
Choose AUTO on the band settings for the phone and ignore the two default numbers shown. More numbers can be added and shown on the list but AUTO will find most suitable(including all available in your locations) for you.

Unable to roam on Three (3g) Australia - Help Please

I have a HTC Touch Diamond P3700 which I think was sourced from Hong Kong. I use it on the Hutchinson 3 network in Australia and am unable to get Roaming (on Telstra network) going. I am currently on hoidays in Noosa and there is no Three coverage here and the phone will not switch to Roaming. I had installed the Hutchinson 3 official Rom (I was able to get this on the phone by first flashing Olinex Hard SPL).
Current Installed Firmware...
ROM Version = 1.93.861.4 WWE
ROM Date = 11/21/08
Radio Version = 1.09.25.23
Protocol Version = 52.51.25.26W
Model = HTC Touch Diamond P3700
The above ROM is Hutchinson 3 Aus with a different Radio version. I have also tried to Roam with the stock Hutchinson ROM.
With the above setup, the only Network Type I can select are WCDMA or Auto. GSM/UMTS band options are UMTS (900+2100) + GSM (900+1800) and Auto. I have installed advanced Comm Manager which enables me to turn off 3G in the hope that the phone would Roam on Telstra GSM. When I do this the Network Type selection is blank.
I have also flashed Duttys 5.2.20764.1.4.3_V4_Full_MSVC [2.03] and was able to view a full range of UMTS and GSM bands and had WCDMA, Auto and GSM as an option in Network Type.
I have also tried the following Radios:
1.00.25.05
1.13.25.24
1.11.25.1
1.09.25.23
1.00.25.06
1.12.25.16 (couldn't get this one to work)
I am not scared to try flashing different items, but am really lost as to why I can't get Roaming (on Telstra network). I suspect the version of my Diamond does not have the necessary hardware to use the required Band.
Can anyone give me a tip as I am now lost and Hutchinson won't help me as I didn't buy the phone through them. Even being a customer (2 phones) for 3 years + doesn't not count (might be time for a new provider).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Paul

I am with Three also, they really suck, dont they?
Have you tried changing the radio to 1.08.25.20? thats the best I have found for use with 3. This should enable the GSM option under network connections. Actually I specifically remember that the GSM option (or antoher) was different for me on your type of radio...
let me know how you go.

I am with Three using an imported Diamond, radion 1.09.25.23 but the official one for Three Australia also worked fine to me. I roam onto Telstra a lot cos not in a good coverage area.
Have roamed across europe and no problems. Is it the data connection or the voice that you need? If the data connection is the problem then maybe download a new connection setup cab and try to update that. Sorry, not much use I know!

Still no luck

Voice is the thing I am after. Still no luck. I have gone back to Duttys 5.2.20764.1.4.3_V4_Full_MSVC ROM and Radio 1.08.25.20 which enables GSM to be selected. Under SETTING|PHONE|NETWORK I have pressed the 'Find Network' button but the phone cannot find any networks yet my wife's iPhone is able to pick up Roaming (Telstra), Yes Optus and Vodafone AU. I find it strange that my Touch Diamond can't locate any networks. I'll keep hunting the fault but it is very frustrating. Thanks for the help. Cheers, Paul

Paul,
Try going to Setting>Phone>Band tab and select 'GSM', then 'Auto' or the apprpriate band for roaming.

Thanks dieselpower89
I have tried all that. Also changed the ROM 5 or 6 times. Radios that and a few more. It is as if the phone will only recognize the Three network and nothing else. It will not pick up any other networks. Very strange.

why u dont give a try to upgrade to the official one(2.03.707.2)?
maybe it wil help u

Albert_betet
2.03.707.2 is not available for Australian networks. I tried to download from htc.com but it rejected my serial number as not compatiable. I have tried the latest Hutchinson ROM which is still current on the htc.com website (Australian) and whilst it works on my phone, the roaming doesn't activate.

might be a sim card prob. im on 3 with a diamond from overseas as well. before i kept losing receptino and it would reconnect when i powered up the screen. and also it would say no reception but i could go on 3 internet and stuff. Just go to the 3 store and they will give u a brand new sim card for free then callup customer care and tel them to transfer your service onto your new sim card. only took like 3 minutes in total.. and the call centre is 24hrs

Thanks JexL,
You're a champ!! My wife's sim card has been roaming in her iPhone so I put her card in my phone and didn't find a network at first. I went to SETTINGS |PHONE and then Network tab and there was another option for either Auto or Manual select a network. I selected manual which then found the 3 available networks here in Noosa. I chose Telstra and then Roaming became available. I turned off the phone and swapped back my card. Turned phone on and Roaming was found immediately. Funnily enough I don't have the auto/manual network selection option. But the phone works so that is the main thing.
Thanks again to all that helped.

HOT FIX - 3G Connectivity Problem after Radio + ROM Update

Hello,
There are lot of HTC Shift owners that after changed the Radio version with the Thaihugo Radio 1.27 get in 3G connection problem. This happen when the HTC Shift is not an US version and is some Italian, UK or other countries version.
I have my old HTC Shift which is US version and after changed the Radio with v1.27 and the ROM with Thaihugo Light ROM I don't get any issue.
With few days ago I received my friend HTC Shift (Italian version) and changed the Radio with 1.27 and then the ROM with Thaihugo ROM and get the 3G connectivity problem. I tried lot of Radio versions and nothing working... every time sound noise or WM freeze and no phone functionability.
After 2 days of tests I found the solution... Simple and unexpected easy and good for everyone which changed the Radio version with 1.27 and get in 3G Connectivity problem:
1. Restore Radio version 1.27 if was somehow changed with other Radio version (doing tests as me).
2. Click on "Phone / Menu / Options / Band" and be sure that both options are on "Auto" mode. This will allow 3G/HSDPA if your GSM Provider support it.
3. Go to "Settings / Connections" then click on "Connections" icon, go to "Manage existing connections".
4. Select your existing GSM Provider connection name and click on "Edit". Click "Next" and EMPTY/DELETE "Access point name:" even if your GSM provider give you an required "Access point name" this should be BLANK. Then click "Next" and "Finish".
Now your Connection will be connected on 3G/HSDPA without any issue.
My GSM Provider is Vodafone and with this solution I finally fixed the 3G connectivity issue forever and this using Radio 1.27.
Hope this will help anyone wich have 3G Connectivity problem and search for wrong solution as different Radio version.
Good luck!

Dont work this solution on my shift.

First I assume that your HTC Shift was Liberated and HardSPL'ed.
Second be sure that your HTC Shift Radio was changed to Radio 1.27
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DMWZBMQ6
Then be sure that your ROM is one of the Thaihugo Light ROM or Age of Beauty ROM or any other Custom ROM based on this Radio 1.27 version.
Now if there is 3G connectivity problem just apply my solution.
If still don't work for you then the reason is that your GSM Provider require "Access Point Name" for the internet connection. There are some GSM Providers that require the "Access Point Name" for internet connection else the connection will fail.
The issue with this Radio 1.27 is placed somewhere at the point of "Access Point Name" so switching to an 3G Provider which don't require "Access Point Name" as Vodafone on my case then the issue is fixed and your 3G connection should work.

I'll try and comment later. Thanks!

No way, man. I have the same loop as ever (3g-edge-g), but no hsdpa. I have an Italian Shift with h3g operator. Thanks anyway mate.

My new HTC Shift is also Italian version but I use it with Vodafone RO (Romania) as I am here.
First I Liberated, then HardSPL'ed, next changed the Radio to 1.27 and finally changed the ROM with Thaihugo Light ROM. Everything goes fine and the Phone and GPS works as expected but no 3G/HSDPA connection. There was always the H from HSDPA in the left of the signal but when try to connect every time failed.
After changed over 10 Niki Radio versions modded to match HTC Shift I finally tried to change something on connection settings and once I removed the Vodafone RO access point name (internet.pre.vodafone.ro) and left that info BLANK, my HTC Shift goes on 3G/HSDPA in seconds and works as expected.
Maybe your GSM Provider don't allow connection without the "Access Point Name" defined! This should be the issue as for me works!

Yeah, maybe... I'll keep try; if I found a solution for H3G operator I'll post there.

Diamond on UMTS network?

Hi guys, I live in Bosnia and I have HTC Diamond. I am moving to Austria because I will study there. I am looking for network three(drei) and they have excellent packages but they are UMTS carrier. Will my Diamond work there?
Do I need to install some special radio or something?

bump bump bump

Hi, I'm using my HTC Diamond in Italy under H3G UMTS network (Three Network -> apn: tre.it) and WM6.5.
No problem at all (using radio 1.13 or 1.17)
But I cannot surf in internet using Android (I don't know why?!?)

Ok. Tnx. Can you please tell me which Rom are you using exactly?
