The best thing to exclude a software-problem is:
1. remove the battery and replace it after a few seconds
2. flash the newest original rom from the provider how sells the phone (O2?)
3. after you start the new rom make a hardreset and the post the result here, the it will be a hardware problem (warranty?), if the simcard works in an other phone.

Thank you for your reaction!
I didn't understood this :
"flash the newest original rom from the provider how sells the phone (O2?)"
- I need to install a ropm from O2 right?
Unfortunately no waranty(bought on eBay without warranty...)
And sim card is working on another phone... and I tried differents sims from different providers...
i will try to install original ROM...
Is it possible to put mobile on factory settings
Thanks for your answer...!

No, I meen if your diamond is an xda diamond, you will have to install the O2-ROM, if it is a mda compact IV, you have to install the t-mobile-rom. If you have the HTC Touch Diamond, install the HTC-ROM. If it is orange branded install the orange-rom. OK?

Hi,
I installed a rom from HTC website. I used rom related to my S/N. And it was O2.
And it is still the same problem. It says simcard is missing(even if I use belgian or O2 sim card, problem remains...)
May be it is another problem?
Thanks for your help...

Have you done these steps?
Have you tested the sim cards in an other phone?

Sounds like it maybe a problem with the tabs that contact the sim. you could of damaged them when you last swapped to the russian sim, you could look at the sim slot as best you can to see if any of the contact tabs look bent out of place & if looks ok you could try placing a thin bit of card or folded paper on the back of the sim card so it is more thick & will be pushed more firmly onto the contacts.

@ braunie,
yes, sim cards are working on other phones...
And I followed all steps and result: "The SIM is missing".....
@ Mister B,
I tried this...))
paper then double paper, triple..; and it is very firmly.. but "The SIM is missing".....
I don't know wtat can I do else....
somebody got same problem....?
braunie, mister B, thanks for your answers!!!

Thanks for your support
Now I have another problem with my 2d diamond...
screen is almostr black when phone is switched on...When it is charging it is ok but when without charger, it is to black... almost no display...
May be somebody got similaire problem....?
Thanks again!

Check the screen backlight settings. They have setting for when on battery & when on mains supply IE; charging, so maybe the battery setting for screen backlight is set way too low ! just a hunch but good place to start.

switch off when simcard inserted

hi guys,
i got TYTN II brand new whenever simcard inserted, phone start up then switch off itself.
without simcard start up ok, go all the way to the main screen.
is this to do with the Radio rom?? i flash with the original rom still no luck.
have anyone here experience this
thanks
Sounds like the SIM card isn't inserted well or the contacts are dirty (or could be the SIM card). Try cleaning the contacts on the SIM and device first and make sure the door is securely shut.
I think you have this confused. When you switch it up it turns off the phone so you can turn it on and the phone recognized the sim, if it would stay on when you put the sim, it wouldn't recognize the sim, so put it in then keep it in and turn it on and it should have recognized the sim. If you know that already, then do what Jwy said, I recommend rubbing alcohol and 100% cotton.
my device is working ok, but everytime i just unlock the sim card slot (without touching the card itself, my device shuts down, no matter which rom or radio rom.
It's no problem for me because i've just got one single sim card, but if i would have two different sim's....
Is this the standard behaviour ? I think it's strange, just curious about that...
that is normal , there is a little switch behind it that turns your device off .
some kind of protection.
Right, most phones have the sim under the battery so you must pull the battery to insert the sim. The Kaiser cuts the power with a switch on the sim door to protect the sim from a "hot" insertion and possible damage when changing sims.

No man, no confusion here, i know how its works
you didn't read my msg propely,
" switch off when simcard in the phone" if i take to simcard out, the phone boot up fine, ok
i switch it off then put simcard in (clip the simcard's door) then turn the phone on, just say HTC logo then switch itself off
ADD:
i mention that i got 2 TYTNII ok.
i swap the motherboard between eachother, still the same.
so i think either RADIO ROM or HARDWARE !!
so i want opinion here, whether its the HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE???
thanks
Ah, ok. You don't have to get mad . It could be software. I have seen this happen to people. Try a different rom & radio.

How to remove PIN on my Kaiser

Hi all,
I've just Recieved a second hand Kaiser. I can use it w/o any issue but the PIN and PIN2 are not default ones, I have no idea what they are. (thank god the "Require PIN when phone is used" option is not selected)
now there is only one attempt remaining and I feel that if I got it wrong, sth horrible will happen(permanent lock or sth else?). I know that if I dont touch the PIN settings, nothing will happen, but I can't make sure that my friends won't, accidently. Simply flash a new ROM or hardrest doesn't help removing the PIN~
Could someone tell me how to remove the old PIN plz? help!!!! Thanks a lot.
Try a reflash of the ROM; i've heard of this on the ATT forums and if i recall correctly, a reflash fixed things.

PIN relates to a SIM card NOT the phone or ROM. If you enter wrong PIN code 3 times in a row, the SIM card will be burned out.
Only the service provider (aka carrier) can give you the PIN. In case you don't know the old PIN, they will give you PIN2 to reset.
Another easy method: ask your carrier replace the SIM card then they will give you the PIN and of course, you can change it to your desired number.
@Kareem
Thanks for your kind suggestion but I've tried reflash ROMs and I think that doesn't help.
@Nghiem
Ok, that explains everything. I'm just too worried that my phone may get locked. I think now I can stop worrying, can't I?

I'm currently using the O2 PaynGo with free text bolt ons. Do I still get the free texts after replacing with a 3G sim?

If you log into your AT&T account, they offer support tutorials for your particular devices, one of which refers to sim/puk unlock. check it out.

[Req]Blackstone with O2 Uk

Hello everyone.
I'm beat. I was up to silly o'clock this morning trying to get this thing working.
I purchased to unlocker from this site as I have no posts. I've tried many different roms and radios but I still get no service when I plonk in my o2 sim card.
I have a touch HD that was registered to the orange network that I bought off a friend of mine. I wanted it to work with o2 so I downloaded the unlocker program (paid for) and did all the updating and unlocking that entails.
I then tried a few different roms (even tried win 6.5 but my battrey was getting drained at a silly rate)
The problem I have is that whichever radio I get it's not working with my O2 sim card. I have the little G symbol but it keeps asking for data connection setting and the phone is showing no service. I have even tried radios from other phones with no luck. I'm on the offical htc 1,56,401,0 (43972) WEE rom at the moment and the 1.12.25.16 radio and I'm also getting the greenscreen at the load up but a quick on off fixes that.
I searched the forums but still no joy.
What do I have to do?
Please, you are my only hope.
Thanks in advance.
Do you have the right SPL? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217)
I used to be Orange, had it unlocked, and am now on o2 with no problems. I use 1.17 radio but I don't think that's the issue
Tried it just now.
Thanks for the advice.
Tried the HSPL Wrapper on that thread, updated the radio to 1.17 but it's still showing no service. Any other ideas?
Thanks again.
did you try put another sim card inside the phone?
I just have O2 cards atm. Still now joy though.
I am a failure.
I've just done a cracking stew in the slow cooker. First time making dumplins. I can rebuild and format a PC in less that two hours but this thing has got me beaten. I suppose I could use it for an e-book reader.
I've now got SPL-1.56.Olnex on there with the blackstonehenge Rom.
and 1.17.25.09 radio but it still won't connect.
If anyone has any better ideas I will make them some stew and dumplins. Geographical location allowing, and if the gf lets me have friends round.
Thanks anyways.

@chg1282002
i think the OP said that they have bought this already
i used to be on orange, now on O2.
how old is the O2 simcard? i think this is the most likely cause
Yes, I already purchased the unlocker. I also tried a newer sim card that was a Christmas present. I'll nip out today and get a 99p sim card from another network. Any suggestions which would be best?
Works with vodaphone
Yes, it registers and works with a vodaphone simcard. It also works with t-mobile but I can't send or recive calls on that (mightbe a sim thing with a need to top up or something) But a new o2 PAYG sim card and my old one still bringing up no service.
Anyone got any suggestions about any manual settings I can do?

Your operator does have any rom for Touch HD on their site? If it does, try it and see if it works.
Also read this page, seems to be an O2 rom for Blackstone devices http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Versions .

I think you have problems SIM Issue door ...! you'd better release the SIM card first then try a soft reset your device ....
after the soft reset you can replace the SIM card and the device operates properly
I did soft restart I even reinstalled the rom but still...
Shud i go to my provider and ask for a new SIM or i some kind of mechanical problem with the door?

you've tried to hardreset your device..??
yeah, htc doesn't react to hard reset,soft and bootloader
almost same story
I have a very similar problem .
The only difference is that my phone is a mda vario IV (t-mobile)
and my download was a different one .
If I turn it on it shows the t-mobile screen and turns off immediately .
Hard reset doens't work since it doesn't react to the soft reset button .
It would be really really awesome if anyone had an idea to solve this/these problem/s

You might have bricked your phone......Try getting into bootloader mode, if ya can do that much you might be able to load one of the custom ROMS or at least the right one
Yes , bricking seems to be the only explanation for this behaviour.
Why on earth did you try to unlock your phone yourself?!
If i have a problem , i go to a service center nearby and pay a fee of almost 10E to unlock my phone.They know what to do , even gine me waranty.
You are not the only brave person i see trying to unlock a headset by himself.A friend holds the record for bricking headsets. In 2 months he bricked not less then 12 headsets because he was to stubborn to take them to a service center.
Some things are best not to be dealt with. I personally am afraid to flash a W6.5 ROM on my headset , because i might end up bricking it.
I remember there used to be many threads related/similar to your problem.
Have you guys tried to search for that issue?
Just an example:

Good luck!
