Ok, this is a real noob question but im pretty stuck right now.
Ive successfully flashed roms on the touch diamond in the past, but this is getting the better of me.
My phone was on orange contract. Not sure if that makes any odds, but it wasnt unlocked from that network either.... (which wasnt a problem for me, I intended to use it with Orange anyway).
I flashed:
ROM_TG01_Clone_D2_6.1.21056_WWE.7z to the TG01.
Great. All fires up. But no radio at all. Nada, nothing.
So I downloaded the radio files, did the whole rename to orginal.tsw and changed the radio versions, hoping to find one that worked.
Again, nothing. Just keeps searching constantly for a network and I cant access the network settings for the phone.
So I reflashed back to a standard Orange UK rom in the hope that radio would be restored.
It possibly has, I dont know, because now the phone is locked with "enter sim unlock code". This isnt the standard sim lock code I use on my phone normally. Im guessing its the network unlock code.
I really want to get the HTC feel on the TG01. Tsunagi is perfect, if only I can get the radio working.
Any help please for a noob....

which radio did you try flashing?
the new ones are built with a new IMGFs structure, which doesnt fit well with the kitchen etc... perhaps a bad flash? dont forget to hard reset after a flash!

I always had trouble using Miros radio changing kitchen out of the box, so i reverted to using tgtool and the radio file to change radio, doing it manually always seemed to work for me. I successfully changed the radio on that rom to 0321, so i know its possible.

Thanks both you guys, but i'm still no better off. Did what you suggested "insertnamehere", but its odd... I get the familiar imgfs signature not found where expected error, do not use....
Is it possible to brick only the radio side of things??? Ive yet to find an OS Rom that has a built in radio that functions at all.... let alone changing it....
Totally confused now.
I will persevere, its actually an old phone my mum is interested in using, but the generic tosh menu is a load of well, tosh, and I thought the HTC variant would be easier for her to get to grips with.
Bloody phones!!
Thanks for the pointers anyway. I will continue....
I would add to that, Ive just tried another ROM that lets me see more info under the "about phone" menu. In software information, Radio version, Protocol version and ROM date are all empty.... makes me think there really is no radio installed....
Would a locked phone do this...? do I need to unlock from orange before attempting a mod?

This is very strange, makes me think your device has a hardware problem. What happens if you flash back to Orange stock rom and master clear?
Ive reflashed the main orange rom, without the SIM I access the main system no problem, but cant see any networks (since theres no sim)...
With the SIM in I get, "Phone is blocked. Enter password to disable SIM lock."
So I cant tell if theres radio there in any case.
Catch22?

Sounds to me like a simlock, unless you put in the right network sim, you won;t get any network until its unlocked.
Yeah, I thought that too. But its an orange phone, orange sim card and I have no idea why its coming up. My last resort is to purchase the unblocking code from orange...

No matter what radio I upgrade to I have no service on my 8525, some radio roms even say no service even when the sim card isn't in. other roms just continually search and then eventually say no service. It is not the sim card, it works perfectly in my other cingular phones, and my device is unlocked anyways.
Does anyone know what the problem could be and how I would fix it? it is not the OS rom, it happens with both WM5 and WM6, everything else works with the phone, well actually my microphone wasn't working for cellular calls (when i still could make them) it would only work for the voice recorder
when I used the check image command in mtty, i got this
Cmd>checkimage
IPL CRC checksum = 0x50C4A5F0
SPL CRC checksum = 0xC27E0E42
CE CRC checksum = 0xF21F01B9
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0xB924B6BA
Radio Image CRC checksum = 0xB845CC64
Cmd>
BTW, why does it say Cmd instead of usb, what does this mean?
I got the same CRC in my Radio (version is 1.51.00.10):
IPL CRC checksum = 0x80C8FEE6
SPL CRC checksum = 0x327DEB48
CE CRC checksum = 0xE6F4D57A
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0xA9AB06C9
Radio Image CRC checksum = 0xB845CC64
And I got no problems with SIM. Maybe it's a hardware related problem (antenna or something like this).
When you flash a radio rom, does it change everything that has to do with the cellular connection? or could something have been changed that wasn't supposed to be like how people were losing their wifi because the eeprom chip was getting erased due to OS flashing
Iv'e given up, i've flashed countless radios, and they all say no service, even when there is a sim card in it, and for some reason it doesnt even say when there isn't a sim card in there. Does anyone want to buy it off me?

Scratch that, how about I pay the first person that helps me to fix it on my own $30 via paypal, and you will help me over AIM (---------), so no one can "copy" someone else.
It seems that the only radio that recognizes when I do and do not have a sim in is the 1.16 one, and even then it has no service, although it ocassionaly searches, only to say no service once again.
Also, Sim Manager, and the Phone under settings will not open
Check with your provider that the IMEI of your phone has not been blocked. You should test this with a sim card from another network, but also it's worth phoning up your provider and asking them to check if your IMEI has been blocked as it doesn't propagate to all networks instantly.
This happened to me with similar symptoms, fortunately it occurred as a mistake of T-Mobile when they were blocking the current phone of the person who owned my phone originally.
my radio too would not connect.
also my mtty.exe would not connect,
i put the phone in bootloader mode and open mmty.exe, select US to connect but get error says "usb port can not open"?
I have a white Softbank X01HT version of Hermes.
Since the OS is Japanese i cannot read but i am a WM user already so i could find my way through.
I turned it on and did not let the ext rom install, also Also, i ran the Hermes Unlocker V3a.
It said Unlocked SIM and Cuper CID unlocked.
Also, i checked the Windows folder on the device and could not see a file names upd.log, so i assume
the ext rom did not install.
Now i put my sim it does not ask for an Unlock code so i guess phone's unlocked. But i got an USIM screen
asking for passsword i guess in japanese, which i think is the vodafone software lock, so to remove it i ran
the file from imei-check.co.uk and i think it worked although my phone had frozen showing a large unlock icon
on screen, so i soft reset and this time i dont see the usim screen again with my non vodafone sim inserted.
But neither does it get a gsm signal, all i could see is an "exclamation !" sign besides the signal icon.
I then did the HardSPL v7 Flashing and then upgraded my radio to 1.43, still no luck with GSM signal.
What to do?
Shall i flash to a English ROM? if yes then which one?
Plss help.
Thanks,
Michelle
I put in a t-mobile sim, and its recognized, and I get a couple of bars, however if i turn off the radio it will not let me turn it back on, and sometimes, randomly i will get no service, normally where i have full bars.
also, i have to softreset the phone to get a signal no matter how long i wait
Radio Worked Now
Okay i was not sure what it was but i ran the Hermes Unlocker like 3 times and on the third attempt it worked, now i can see radio signals and make/recv. calls.
Wonder what caused this, may be i made some mistake running the unlocker first time around but even then phone should have asked me for an unlock code if sim unlock did not happen, but i am happy it works now.
But i dont think it would help you cos yours i guess is an 8525 and you are on ATT network so you dont require unlocking, but no harm in trying if you wish.
How do you usee mtty.exe?
would not connect for me - i put the phone in bootloader mode and open mmty.exe, select US to connect but get error says "usb port can not open"?
Can you write me the steps for this pls?
I just want to know what my Boot loader version is.
Even though you have bars on T-Mo, make sure you can make calls etc - when my IMEI was blocked, o2 would report no service, but T-Mobile gave me a signal. However, I could not make calls on text with the T-Mo sim despite having signal.

I wish it fixed the problem, I have to turn my phone off during school, and its a hassle to have to reset it every time I lose service, and after i turn the radio off. Also I called cingular and they did not block my IMEI, and I tried a different cingular sim and it didn't work. Thats very odd, maybe it has something to do with the band.
This seems hopeless. Does anyone have an estimate of how much it would cost to have HTC repair my phone?

Anyone solved this as i am having a simalur problem
Nope not yet. I'm going to try and run the unlocket a couple of more times
After around a half year of use,
today, the 13th of november afternoon, I lost my signal.
I can see the G symbol, but I cant see the bars for signal.
It says, no signal. I tried to change the band to gsm, I tried different radio roms, new mary rom v6, nothing helps. I even hard restarted the phone, without effect.
Can somebody help, advice? What went wrong?
If I search for networks, it finds all the UK networks.
Thanks a lot

SIM card still valid? No unpaid bills?
Have you tried another SIM card?
yes. the strange thing is, when I try to use the T-mobile sim, it works. if I try to use another o2 card, it doesnt. if I try to use my o2 card, which is not working in another mobile it is working..
like if o2 has blocked my phone, but not the sim. it is possible somehow?

My friend, I have no idea Try to flash everything again, CID unlock, hardspl, uspl, radio rom...
I tried new ROM - Mary, 2 radio roms and I did went across the unlocking process. what else can I do? what is cid unlocking?
thanks,
peter
I even tried to call o2, but they told me, as my mobile phone was bought on ebay, they can not check, if it is being blocked..
really silly.
and I am desperate..
Probably got a faulty SIM.
Some phones are locked to one provider's cards only. If you want to use another provider's SIM card, you'll need to unlock it. This is called CID unlock.
Locked phones will also not permit you to flash different ROMs - they stop at 99% and hang.
Since you can flash Mary ROM, then a likely cause is a faulty SIM card, or faulty SIM connector in the phone.
PS - make sure you use the appropriate radio for the appropriate ROM. Mary ROM cannot use radio higher than 1.64
OK. So the situation is as follows:
I have bought this phone on ebay and it was locked and branded to T-mobile. I unlocked it using the CID unlock code from this forum.
I put a new radio rom and about 2 ROMS. I was running the last rom for about 3 months. 2 days ago, all of a sudden, I lost my signal. The G symbol is still there and the phone does not say, the sim is not there, so I assume, that the contacts are ok. I tried other sims, 1 O2, and one TalkTalk. Both are not working. I tried a T-mobile sim and that is working. Is it possible, that T-mobile somehow relocked the phone remotely????
I tried to unlock it twice with the same procedure, but without success. What am I doing wrong? I am really desperate.
Thanks a lot,
Peter
It's unlikely that they could have relocked your phone remotely. I don't think that can even be done, as the "free" method of unlocking requieres patching parts of the flash, wich is not done "over the air".
But, they may have locked your phone, as if it was stolen, through IMEI. Is the seller on ebay still active? any compliants on his votes?
Anyway, for checking everything out...
Try this:
1. Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730 and download "sspl-1.16-nike.zip" and "hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.zip"
Uncompress the ssp-1.16-nike.zip and copy it to the phone through activesync.
2. Run the program from the phone, it will show the tricolor screen.
3. Flash hardspl-1.15mfg-nike using customruu and wait until it reboots the phone.
4. Take the battery out, put it back in and press and hold camera and power button until it gets to the bootloader again (it should say hardspl 1.15 bla bla bla)
5. Download the unlocker from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395945
6. Download, for example, this modded radio (it doesn't specifically need this, but I had troubles with other radios, but none with this): http://www.4shared.com/file/52403515/681b77e5/RUU_Nike_Radio_1582123_25653004S_Modded.html
7. Flash that radio using customruu, and when the phone reboots take the battery out again, back in, and enter the bootloader again.
8. Now, go to step1 of the unlocker and flash the patched radio. Once it's done, the phone will reboot. Go back to the bootloader (battery out, in again, camera+power). Disable usb connection on activesync.
9. While in bootloader, take the usb cable out, wait some seconds, and put it back in.
10. Go to step2 of the unlocker and run it. If it needs more than 30 seconds to tell you that the phone is unlocked, something is possibly going wrong. In that case, disconnect it, take the battery out and in again, enter the bootloader again, pull in the usb cable, take it out, back in again, and retry step 2.
11. Once you get it unlocked, flash back the radio you downloaded before. Now it should be completely unlocked.
12. If it's not unlocked, the phone should say invalid sim when booting with another poviders' sim, but if it is, it should only ask for the pin and once enter, boot normally...
hope this helps!
PS: When you put the tmobile sim and gets signal.. does it let you call? only send sms? nothing at all? Normally, when a phone is blocked through imei, it can simply be rejected by the foreign network, or can stay connect but won't let you call, but let you send sms... could you check that also?
Hi!
Thanks for your post.
I have done everything again and nothing helped.
I went to T-Mobile, there they advice me to go to Vodafone and by vodafone I asked, if they can not check, if my phone was not blacklisted.
They put in the IMEI number and the system told me, that it WAS BLACLISTED
I called up the guy, which sold it to me from ebay He told me, he will check the number as well and he needs to go for another guy, which sold it to him and after that, he will give me hopefully the money back..
So, fingers cross and thanks for the help!

Hello everyone. I have one Hero100. I have the code for unlock but the phone has failed to unlock. It's locked on orange. When I enter the code , I get no service on the screen. and when I restart it, it asks for the unlock code again. How can I go about this? Its a bit strange.
sounds like orange gave you an incorrect code...
you have put a NON-orange sim in when you try this, yes?
if it fails again, go back to orange and ask for the correct code, as they have the wrong one.
The code is working. When I put the Code I get a successful msg but it wont pick up the network and also when it restarts it asks folr the code again.
The same
I have got the same problem.
I have got that unlock number but after unlocking phone, there is no range at all and info 'no service', but i am able to use 'Sim Toolkit'.
Where is a problem???
hi i'm having the same problem code is gud and it works but after that it says no servic. and when i restart or put any other sim again and turn on the phone it again asks for the code . whats wrong plz
I think not so many people have seen this phone.
I am also having this issue. Simlocked to Orange got my code and put it in and it was successful then it just stays on the 'unlocking sim' screen.
Been using HTC with windows mobile for years but decided to try android. Am I doign something wrong as I cant seem to access any phone fucntionality without putting a sim in then I get this problem we are having.
On a WM device you would still be able to access everything without having a sim in- just using it n PDA mode
, I am having the exact same problem. I have a HTC hero from orange as my contract phone. I have bought the unlock code from from swift unlock (ebay) and entered the code when prompted. The phone says the network is unlocked but the I can't get any network service, and if toggled the flight mode on and off or switched the phone off and on it will ask for the code again. If I put the orange sim in everything is back to normal. I even tried to hard reset the phone and have a fresh start while the unsupported sim is inserted but the same happens again with the addition of a message "unlocking sim". I thought the code was wrong or something, so I got the code again this time from a high street shop and it was the same code. So nothing is wrong with code itself. The guy at the shop told me that he has great problems with unlocking this phone as some seem to accept the code without any problems and others have this no service issue and he doesn't know the reason for it. I am thinking of flashing a new firmware and radio and see what happens, but this will be probably tomorrow. Sorry for my long post, but I wanted you to know that there is nothing wrong with code itself.
Yeah I dont think there is a problem with my code either. Im new to android but have been a winmo user for years, I havent rooted my Hero yet (only got it today) but that was going to be what I try next: root then network unlock.
Let us know what happens when you flash yours.
Possible Solution
When i unlocked my phone i thought the exact same thing, that it hadn't worked - it said no network, something something about my sim, etc. Later on though, I went outside and it was working. Unbelieveable i thought. Turns out when your in an area with no reception (my house) the Hero decides to boldly make sure you know that it's not getting any signal by giving you big scary messages
So once you've entered the unlock code, let it load up the UI fully, turn phone off, and then turn on again and put it somewhere you definately get a recpetion
Anyway this might answer your problems, then again might not.
Thanks for the suggestion but I dont think that is the problem in my case as I do get reception. Although for me once I have put the unlock could it it says success (or whatever) then goes to saying 'unlocking sim' it doesn't atually load up any interface.
Out of intereset where did you (all) your get your unlock code? I got mine from Unlock Now, anyone else got a code from them and can confirm it works?
Hi, I have flashed the new modaco 2.2 rom, and inserted the unsupported sim, but sadly with the same exact result "no service". I then flashed the latest radio from modaco, and repeated the steps but this time after the first time you put your unlock code it will say "no service as usual" but if you try to toggle flight mode on and off the phone will prompt for the code again and then it will greet you with a no sim is inserted or so, so it seems with the new radio the phone doesn't even detect your sim. If I put the orange sim everything is back to normal again even with the new radio.
Ok quick run down of what I done so far.
Received phone on Thursday at work. Phone was locked to Orange UK
I came here and found out how to get unlock code ([email protected]) :-D
So while I waited for the unlock code to come through I thought I would change the rom.
I flashed the phone with the rom from the following post.
[ROM][ENG] TG01/T01A Debranded UK + Manila Sense 2.5 v0.011 (14/04/2010) More RAM!!
Flash went fine.
I just got my unlock code so inserted my sim (02 UK).
My problem is I have no unlock request and the attenna icon constantly has 3 dots animating after it and when I click it, it says "searching..."
Any ideas?

This will give you the original ROM (Orange branded (unless you use the Italian one!!)), but you'll need your IMEI to download.
Will it still work even though I have windows 6.5 installed?

That is the official site and you can chose one of them. There are fr,en,it,sp and gr languages.
Just need your IMEI to download it.
Your work but have modified internal registers. So I am not sure if coming from there your problem or because the ex owner did something with the radio. I have
post that I say, you can put more than 3 times your unlocking code, but I don't know how many times you can put it. May be 10 or 100 or ~ times, now buddy know exactly. Personally I put it something like 15 times but I am not sure. If it is completely locked and the ex owner block the radio. Solution is to use orange sim card, turbo sim (I don't like it) or call orange and see what they say. Just need to try everything before.
But before that I told you lets try.
1 Put original ROM and see if then you have the unlocking msg with your card or other different than orange or than your original provider. If possible try 2/3 different sim card.
2 If 1 didn't work try to put sim from original provider and see if work.
3 If 1st not work and 2nd work then the problem is with the radio.
4 Need to call your provider to see if they have any solution.
5 If they haven't solution, try turbo sim or use sim from original provider until we find solution how to change the radio.
6 Now we are in ROM test development so may be there we go to have new solution.
Who know ?
Well I downloaded the rom and started the update. Phone rebooted and I got the white screen saying it was downloading something something, can't remember the message but its part of the flashing process.
Anyway this only seem to take about 2mins???. When I did my first flash with the custom rom it took about 10minutes! So then the phone rebooted, back into the phone and nothing has changed! To me it still looks like the same custom rom I had before.
I'm going to try another sim now and will get back to you later.
Cheers for the help so far :-D

Wen you flash a custom ROM you can't see difference because is the same just missing some program and change some registers. 90% custom Roms you can see differences is inside the programs. Added or deleted programs. This change if is not good may cause a bugs (errors).For this I told you to change to original Rom. To try things how it come from shop and try find solution.
And wen you try other sim card post all msg you receive. And all steps you doing.
From my experience (my phone is locked to Docomo), If I flash UK original rom and put non-Docomo sim, the phone will show sim locked screen and allow me to enter unlock code while Debranded rom (from arag0n) doesn't.
I got this rom from mr.mike (only for T-01A) but I'm not sure that his original rom is the old 6.5 UK rom or new 6.5 UK rom (voice problem fixed).
sorry bojan6 I think there was some missunderstanding there so i will explain more.
-When i got the phone, it had original rom which had windows 6.1 installed.
-I installed a custom rom which had windows 6.5 and manila sense 2.5. this rom took about 10 minutes to install.
-As you requested I downloaded the rom from toshiba's website. I ran the install and it only seemed to take 2mins to install, alot quicker than the custom rom.
After installing the rom I expected manila to be gone and the 3 stripes menu thing to be back and all the Orange branding to be there but it wasn't it still looked like the custom rom and is debranded.
Any way I tried a t-mobile sim and still the same problem. Put in an orange sim and it worked fine.
ok I think the problem is the rom is not installing right.
I get the following error.
SD downloading failed
Invalid Variant!!!
I thing is the radio problem.How long do you left the sim card try to connect? Did you try before the change other sim card wen it was still with wm 6.1?
Did you try to enter in phone settings ? If in phone settings you receive msg insert Network PUK that mean you have problem with the radio.

This msg you have wen you try to install not original rom in phone. Just need to use tg01_sddl+.exe I uplaod it for you.
thanks bojan6 that worked. I can report the phone is now unlocked.
So it would seem that you must have an official rom to unlock the phone.

Great news. I am happy you have unlocked your phone.
So now you can change your Rom and play with it.
Any chance of repeating the procedure with another phone ?
Can u suggest the list of roms u've used?
had the same issue, this is what i done
i had the same problem, i flashed my phone with a cooked rom then tried to unlock it and it would not bring up the sim locked screen, i tried for hours and then i thought if i reflashed the phone with the original uk orange rom then this must work??? i flashed the rom and as soon as i put a none orange sim in the unlock request popped up, i then entered my unlock code and the phone unlocked straight away. i then reflashed with a cooked rom from here and all is well, phone unlocked and debranded YERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! anymore advice needed then just PM me, many thanks to this forum and the people who reply to threads...................
I have just bought a tg01 unlocked mobile phone. I was wondering if I should try some of the latest roms that are available on this forum. At the moment I believe the rom on the phone is a cooked version and the details I have found are below.
os version - 5.2.23563 (23563.5.5.0)
manilla version - 2.5.20121412.1
The phone at the moment is prone to the odd lockup for no obvious reason and I cannot connect the tg01 to my laptop that is running windows xp.
I have tried both activesync and mass storage and the phone will not connect but it does get a charge from the usb cable when plugged into my laptop.
If a rom upgrade is a good idea then would my phone remain unlocked after the flash ? I have no actual unlock code because the phone was sold to me in an unlocked state.
Thanks
Hi All,
I have an HTC Desire 601 phone that won't connect to a network service. This phone is a side project I've been working on. I replaced the screen and digitizer (the screen was shattered). I also unlocked the phone with a SIM unlock code.
Now, no matter what SIM card I input, it won't connect to a network. I've checked that the IMEI number is not blacklisted (it is not). It registers a sim card is inserted, but won't connect to a network -> I receive the error "SIM card doesn't allow a connection to this network"...every once in a while I'll also get a random "ME returned a temporary error".
I've attempted manually and automatically connecting to a network, but to no avail. I've manually input APN's for different providers, but still nothing. I've basically tried everything that was offered on XDA for other phones with a similar problem but didn't get any positive results.
The phone was previously locked to virgin mobile. I have a couple of theories as to what could be wrong but I'm not sure (I'm newbie when it comes to cell ware and its software, I just like to take things apart and put them back together etc.). One theory is that the unlocking wasn't complete in some form; not sure how though, considering it no longer asks me to input an unlocking code when i insert a different SIM card (i used a Koodo sim card). The other theory I had was the antenna, which I've read is often located in the SIM card slot (or in this case the frame), is damaged (the phone fell and had a shattered screen).
I no longer have a warranty on the phone, so I can't just send it back to replace (plus I like solving problems). I like XDA forums because they helped me flash my ROM on my samsung (after it completed a faulty upgrade and was stuck on download mode). I was wondering if anyone knows what I could do, from a software perspective, or if I should look into finding antenna replacement? (I don't think the sim card reader is broken as it registers a sim card is in there)
PS. sorry for the essay message, I just wanted to provide as much detail as possible

Before investing in some hardware, did you tried a factory reset? Maybe flashing a RUU to set back your phone to 100% stock (this doesn't remove the sim-unlock) could help. If the problem persist after flashing a RUU then yes its probably an hardware problem, its hard to tell what exactly.

I've definitely tried a factory reset, but that didn't work. I haven't flashed the RUU. To be honest, I"m not sure what the RUU is. Is it related to the ROM (I've flashed the ROM on another phone)?

A RUU will restore the original firmware and software on your phone like if it was brand new. If the problem persist after flashing a ruu, its most likely an hardware problem. I have posted a few RUU in the general section, maybe there is one that fit on your phone. Check link in my signature.

Ok, so I've looked for an RUU that matches my model (details below) but I can't find anything (I'm probably looking in the wrong place):
Android version: 4.4.2
Sense: 5.5
Software: 2.14.666.15
SDK APi: 5.69
Can I use an RUU that's close like the one below?(from your thread link)
2.14.666.3 (Bell Mobility) Android 4.4 Sense 5.5
Link: androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347841561.......etc.
md5: 1aca3dad753c01ce7b1d7c676316f28f

This is already explained in the "important notes" section of that thread...
my phone HTC Desire 601 with IMEI : 990004284248766 has no Mobile Network or Network mode icon. How could I do?
