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.

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!!!
I have an MDA vario III - Tynt II
I did manage to unlock my phone eventually , however since I unlocked it I can't make or receive any calls. Anything that has to do with sound on my phone doesn't work, i.e. it doesn't ring if someone calls me , it only vibrates. I can't accept a call, the green button doesn't work when someone is calling me. also, when i make a call and I get through I can't hear the person on the other line and neither can he hear me.
Any suggestions?? I did try to soft and hard reset it but it doesnt rectify the problem. I've also tried to launch the bootloader.
I am worried that I might have made my warranty void now cos of this.
Is that true?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you !
Hi Andrew,
When you say you unlocked your phone, what exactly did you do? A SIM unlock I presume so you can use any networks SIM? If so how did you do it? (e.g. software, online, code through eBay?)
What ROM are you running? You can find this in Start>Settings>SystemDevice Information
Copy all the info from that screen including the Radio Version.
Cheers
Zippyioa
which sim unlocker did you use, and did you reflash your original radio rom after unlocking?
Thank you everyone. problem solved. i had to reflash my rom and the sound got restored.
My phone doesnt allow me to call after I used okiwiz
I used the okiwiz to unlock my phone but now i cant mak any calls
can any one help?
Sorry if this question has been asked before... but is there any way of changing the phones IMEI so one can use it even if the phone has been locked out?
Thanks in advance!
???? by changing the insides of the phone???? It's like a MAC address on a network card, it's there to identify that phone and only that phone. It's pretty much the phones social security number.. I'm sure there is a way to clone the IMEI from another phone but I also doubt any one here will help you do something like that.
prove me wrong..
First, be aware that changing the IMEI of a phone is illegal in every known country.
Second, understand that most users here will assume that you either purchased a stolen phone or stole the phone yourself so you will get little to no sympathy here.
Third, if you are going to say that your from Turkey and don't want to pay the import tarrif to be able to register your phone with the local providers then understand that tax evasion is also a crime so again little sympathy here.
I make no assumptions, simply state the obvious warnings for you.
Also, currently there is no utility to change the IMEI on a Kaiser.
Double and triple what he said above. IMEI change = theft, generally speaking. In the unlikely event that this isn't the case here, please understand that your loss is for the greater good...

Missunderstanding!
I think you missunderstood me, and I am not saying that that is my fault!
Ok, here is the thing!
My friend purchased a tytn II becouse he wanted to have one just like mine, only thing is that somehow he got his locked! So now when he boots up his phone it asks for a password that he does not know, and someone told us that the IMEI is locked and it should be replaced!
That replacing IMEI=theft is to me something completly new!
Sorry for that!
I am not good on how to unlock phones, even tho I do know my way about computers, and I think that this is a very good phone indeed!
I also have a HTC Advantage (X7500)!
Is the phone asking for an unlock code? This has nothing to do with the IMEI. Is the TyTn II unbranded? Or is it from a specific carrier like Orange?
If the phone is from a carrier that is different from the SIM your friend is using, then all you need to do is check out the thread on this forum regarding performing a SIM unlock on the device.
Should he try putting his sim in the phone to see if it's a sim lock?
See now that you've given more info you might get somewhere.
This could be a few things.
If the device is SIM locked then you need to simply insert a SIM from the original carrier and it will continue to the OS.
If your friend applied a password to Windows Mobile then you should be able to do a hard reset by following this:
With the phone off, press & hold the two buttons above "Internet Explorer" & "Messaging" buttons (they are the tiny top ones between the two phone keys & the D-Pad)
Now turn the phone on. Release the two buttons when you see the white screen with the following text:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
Now press the Green Phone Key.
When done it will prompt you to press Send again to restart the phone.
At this point you will be like it was when you first opened the box!

Okey, I told my friend to try a hard reset but he asked me what will happend to all his contacts?
Is there a way to back up the contacts before doing a hard reset?
Thanks in advance!
search for pim backup
If he can't get into the phone then the answer is no.
FWIW, if he did lock himself out of the OS then a hard reset is his only option. Currently he can't sync or anything because the OS is locked.

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
Hi I am in need of some help. I will try to give as much detail as possible.
I was talking on the phone 3 days ago and suddenly my call was cut short. The signal icon at the top was greyed out and it had a little x in the bottom. I tried to figure out what happened and at first I thought the cell tower went down because I was unable to connect to 2g, 3g, LTE/4g, nothing.
Next day with my father visiting my house, I tried his phone, put in my SIM, it works, there is signal (nothing greyed out) and I see the name of the phone service at the top left "Personal". His phone with his SIM works as well. Cell towers are working fine. I put my SIM back in my phone, no signal, not able to make phone calls or receive text messages.
At this time WIFI, Whatsapp, the phone itself works. I double checked APN settings from the carriers website, everything matched. I tried rebooting the phone, reseating the chip, selecting towers automatically, manually, and read many many discussions on the web none of which helped. I decided to do a factory reset. Backed up all photos to the computer and proceeded to reset it to factory new. Put in the SIM and same problem. Oh I also in the meantime have spoken with my service provider and they do not see anything wrong on their end.
So now I proceed to restore the phone from a backup on my MI account, all apps restored. Now I try to use Whatsapp and it wants to confirm my account with a text message, that is a problem because I can't receive text messages. I went to my service provider today, they put in a store SIM with a different number and it worked, they assumed I had a faulty SIM and gave me a new SIM with my number, same problem. Now I think it has something to do with XIaomi or MIUI or my MI account. I log into my MI account from my computer and try to add my email under security and it won't let me because it needs verify my account by sending a text message to my cell which of course is not working.
I am thinking of rooting the phone but I imagine I will somehow be blocked there too.
What happened to my phone?
Is my account being protected in some way MIUI, XIaomi or my MI account preventing me from activating my SIM?
Everything I try to do requires a confirmation text.
I want to root the phone but in order to do so I need to request that Xiaomi unlock the bootloader which will require a text message which of course is to be sent to my phone that wont connect to the cell tower.
Was I hacked or spoofed?
How do I go about fixing my situation?
Have you tried changing region and changing back to your country again? That may be possible reason.
For confirmation of code for bootloader unlocking, while applying put your sim card into other phone and that way you'll be able to get code and bootloader unlocked and can flash and try with different rom.
Similarly if your device is out of warranty then you may want to check with the antenna cable inside phone if that is got disconnected or got loosen. I don't if this would have happened or not but this could be issue. Process with precaution if you do so,I won't be responsible for anything.
