International Use after cooking - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hey everyone, I need a little help, I have successfully unlocked my T-Mobile Pocket PC and use it with AT&T and T-Mobile in the USA with success. However, I am no longer able to use it internationally (specifically the mid-east). :?
In the past I have used it with Orange network after changing the phone setting to "Europe" but since cooking my own rom and upgrading the radio stack to 6.20, I don’t have that option any longer.
Anyone have any ideas.
Thanks in advance

Just a guess, is that 6.20 upgrade just for 900/1900 phones?

ive tried to help him via email :\ it seems that orange in isreal uses 900 and 1800mhz but since hes updated it doesnt want to read oranges 900mhz over there but wants the 1800mhz :\
ive already said that your unit isnt compatable for use in 1800mhz areas ect...
dont understand why it would of just gone like that

Most/all of the 4.00.XX Beta ROMS for WM2003 don't have the band select menu installed. As I understand it requires a trip to the bootloader and/or a cold boot to change to the alternate band. If you can find a copy of 4.01, it does have the band select menu (but I haven't found this ROM in a kitchen yet, so no additional goodies to be cooked in with it).
Not sure where I found 4.01 - check the archives back to late Novemer/early December and you might find a link to it.

Got it to work
Thanks for all your help; I was able to get it working. After reloading the same rom and adding bandswitch program, it somehow found the network.
I am not really sure the exact step that worked (and I am afraid to play with it because I NEED it to work) but I am confident it was either the “fresh” start with the rom or the bandswitch program
Thanks for all your help

[Q] Froyo/Gingerbread not working with GSM SIM

I've tried with force_cdma=1 (Select network is disabled) and force_cdma=0 (SIM unlock to use Phone). Please guide me to use Froyo/Gingerbread with GSM SIM.
My phone is a unlocked global phone which woks fine in (Verizon HTC Touch Pro2) WinMo 6.5/ Not sure how to make the network working with Android.
If you are GSM you definitely want to remove the force CDMA command completely.
And define 'NOT WORKING', does it freeze on boot? radio not work at all? etc.
Also what model is your phone?

Not working: Its not exactly not working. Its mobile network is not available. It says "Setup SIM unlock" or "Enter SIM PIN to use Phone".
My phone is from Verizon (CDMA). I was able to use the phone with a GSM SIM in WinMo. But the same SIM is not working under Android Froyo (I guess its 2.2, the latest stable android posted here)
My spec is attached below,
RHOD500 32M SS-BC
SPL-0.72.000
MicroP (LED) 0x0A
MicroP (KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
512,520 805,846
805,196 217,194
219,846 Calibrated
Please revert if you need more details.
If it's asking for a SIM PIN, you need to disable PIN request on startup (do this in WinMo).
Pin unlock at startup is not available in Android. Yet.
Nope, it's not mobile phone's PIN unlock or security unlock. Its about SIM PIN to use the GSM SIM installed in the mobile can be used. It shows no network coverage (at the top next to battery status) or "No Service" (on the mobile phone unlock screen).
I'm able to use a GSM SIM in WinMo 6.5 without any issue. Because its an global unlocked mobile.
Lemme give a brief summary of the steps I've followed to setup Froyo/Gingerbread.
1) Downloaded the respective ROM (Froyo/Gingerbread)
2) Extracted and copied in to my microSD (8 gig) card (I've never formatted)
3) Copied the relevant (RHOD500/startup.txt) in to the same level as haret.exe. Modified the startup.txt/force_cdma=0 from force_cdma=1 (cos my phone is a Verizon or CDMA version - at least as per my understanding)
4) Selected haret.exe to load Android
5) After the bootup process is over, tried to explore the loaded Android. Everything else is working almost smooth (though with slight response delay) except the mobile network.
I'm now unable to make/receive calls or send/receive SMS or anything which requires mobile network. When I selected at Wireless Network/Mobile Networks, it shows some "Searching for mobile networks" and freezes. And when I tried to uncheck Location & Security/Setup SIM PIN/XYZ "not sure of the item, but something related to clear lock", the mobile was showing some "SIM PIN".
Note: Also I was unable to install any kitchen ROM or custom ROM, even can't HardSPL. I've attached my mobile spec from the special rainbow color screen (displayed when vol- + reset button pressed)
Hope I've briefed my issue completely. Please help me to resolve the issue. Many thanks in advance.

I don't see any attachment?
So just double check the SIM PIN is totally cleared in WINMO.
What kernel and rootfs are you using?
Also, are you using the default RIL or highlandsun's?
I meant the attached detail as,
RHOD500 32M SS-BC
SPL-0.72.000
MicroP (LED) 0x0A
MicroP (KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
512,520 805,846
805,196 217,194
219,846 Calibrated
I'm not a very technical person. Please let me know the steps I need to follow to answer your queries.
1) How to totally clear SIM PIN in WINMO?
2) How to find the Kernel n rootfs version? I've downloaded the "Froyo Complete build - Stable" version from XDA HTC TP2 Android Forum.
3) I donno how to find whether I'm using Default RIL or Highlandsun's one??

This is a very technical process - running Android on a WinMo phone isn't exactly "easily done". Hopefully when it gets more stable, it will get easier to install - but at this stage, there's a lot of things being tested, and you really need to learn your way around the system if you expect to be able to use it - or troubleshoot it.
With that said, if you haven't downloaded a test RIL and mounted it, then I'd say you're using the stock one . If you didn't change anything with the bundle, you're also using the stock rootfs from 2/24.
Disabling the SIM PIN is a WinMo problem - I'm not quite sure how to disable it, I don't use WinMo sorry . If you're not a very technical person, it might be best to stick to WinMo - the phone was after all designed for it. Android may never run flawlessly on our phones, even when NAND flashing has stabilized. So perhaps play with Android, have some fun with it - but don't use it full time if you're not willing to accept the issues.

That's great.
But I'm using an unlocked WinMo. But I've checked with my Service provider. Its nothing to do with the SIM PIN it seems. Its just the default 4 digit (for example 0000) should be entered. But that didn't solved my issue.
I guess its something to do with the device lock, 'm not sure. Cos I was unable to install any customer ROM or even HardSPL. The device easily switches to Airplane mode. But not able to access any mobile network. That's the main problem. Prob.ly if I continue using Android, I mite be able to find out some issues. But using Android that too in my TP2 is really cool (though slightly slower). But I'm stuck with mobile network connectivity issue.
I've seen few threads about "No service" or Airplane mode issues. But I was unable to find a proper solution which could work for me.
Not sure whether it would give any clue, I'm using a i5 win7 64-bit laptop.
I guess I got the solution. I've found the network to "Global" under WinMo. Changed to "GSM Only" and reboot Android. And now I'm able to see all the networks.... Wow!!!!! What a relief now.... Thanks for all you support in this matter

Heh, awesome. I need to remember these little tricks that trip people up .
Something to note: There is clearly something odd about your device. A SIM lock of any sort should not affect your ability to install HardSPL.
Of interest - what radio version are you running? Most people who flash ROMs update their radios too, you might be running an old radio firmware that behaves differently from those most other users have in use.

Yeah even I can sense there's something odd. That's why I've attached the complete environment (PC n Mob) I was using for flashing. Please refer to post #3 in this thread where I've attached the details which you can use for your analysis and suggest me how can I flash my WinMo ROM?
When I tried the ROM/update from Verizon (MR1,2,3), it worked w.o any issue. But when I tried with any customer ROM, I was stuck @ 0% with the error "262" or "260" (I don't remember the error codes, but I guess this can give some idea).
Might be able to get a unique type of CDMA TP2!!! lol.......... ;o)
What does the device say in bootloader mode? (Edit: Saw your third post and that looks like a stock SPL.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425922
Error 262 implies that you didn't actually flash HardSPL. What happened when you tried to flash HardSPL as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578660 ?
What's your radio ROM version?

[Q] Stuck on Radio.....

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...

Atrix keeps restarting when making a phonecall

ok this phone a brand new, i can receive calls and text but when i dial a number and try to make a call the phone restarts
This is factory unlocked and not rooted
Try flashing a newer radio rom.
I dont want to root it incase i cant get the original rom back.
It is weird as, i have tried with every sim card to make calls and it works but when i put the 3 sim in does plays up
We experienced the same issue on some Turkish networks as well and flashing a newer radio rom fixed the problem. Flashing roms and rooting are totally different. What you need is a newer version of your current baseband ( radio rom ) sbf and official motorola software flasher " RSD Lite 5.3 "
Hope it helps.
Thank you so much for that Semseddin.
My problem solved, i just flashed it using RSD lite 4.9
Thanks everyone
Hi. I've been having the exact same issue. I've got an unlocked AT&T Atrix and I'm trying to use a Three UK sim (I'm in the UK). I'm a bit new to the world of android, can someone post a link to an appropriate Radio Rom?
Thanks for any help!!
OK after a little more web searching I've found a (sort of) solution -
"Here's a quick fix for it thou, (not permanent)....
1. type *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer
2. Chose Phone Information
3. Set preferred network to GSM only
Viola...its fixed
problem with this fix is that you wont be able to use your 3G network but the dialer should be working."
Problem is of course that you can't use your 3G connection. Hope this helps anyone else with the same issue.

Why is it always 3 that cause a problem?
When the Nokia N900 came out, that wouldn't work with 3 initially until a couple of updates later!

[Q] Can't seem to fully reflash SG Note 2 with stock ROM. Help please!

Hi, and firstly, thanks to any and all who offer their knowledge to assist my conundrum.
I recently purchased a Bell Canada version of the SG Note 2 (i317), I am on Telus so I attempted to Unlock the phone. I looked online and found people were having success unlocking these phones for free using the *#197327640# method, (whereby you go into the service mode, turn off the PERSHO_256 and then INITIALLIZ).
I tried this method and the phone then seemed to work with my telus sim, but only for voice, not data. When I put in a Bell SIM from a friend, both voice and data worked fine - which tells me its not a hardware (radio) issue. I also tried using another friends Telus SIM and had the same results as mine - which tells me it's not a SIM error. Also, all the settings in the mobile network area appeared to be correctly set up.
So, my next step was to try and reflash the phone to the stock Bell ROM and then just buy an Unlock code. I downloaded the stock ROM (2 different ones actually) and used Odin 3.07 to reload the ROM. I've tried it several times now, with both Bell ROMs and each time it says it's been successful, but the phone remains in the same, partially unlocked state.
It seems as though by using the PERSHO_256 method I have permanently, PARTIALLY unlocked the phone. I can't seem to re-lock it by installing the stock Bell ROM, and since it's unlocked, I can't get the foreign SIM error to come up to enable me to put in my purchased unlock code.
If anyone has any insights, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

You should ask questions about a specific device in its own Q&A. (unless it doesn't have one). Cuz people there have the same phone and will know exactly what to do.
LIFE! IT'S WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT!
Will do, thanks for the tip!

[Q] Using Motorola XT605 without sim

Hello, everybody. First, I am posting in this subforum because my particular device doesn't have a subforum. Feel free to move this thread if it may belong to a more appropiate subforum.
I'm going to describe the device briefly, since I think it's not very known outside my country (Chile). The XT605 (Known internally as Motorola Jorian, and as Motorola Master by my network operator [Nextel Chile]) is a GSM/UMTS device, with PTT functionality (it has a dedicated button for it). It runs Gingerbread, and there are not even official ROMs for it (Motorola's webpage doesn't have it). It has QWERTY keyboard. It seems to be the GSM version of Motorola Admiral (which is CDMA, sold in United States by Sprint/Nextel, I think).
Now, my problem is that I can't use the phone without a SIM. I've tried editing build.prop, starting with camera button pressed, and trying to use "Boot Android (No BP)" (the option doesn't even exist in the Fastboot menu). It keeps stuck in "Emergency Calls only" "No SIM". The phone works well when using SIM.
Also, if I put another operator SIM, the phone asks to delete all private data before allowing me to use the phone. I don't know to which data exactly refers to, so I haven't proceeded with it.
Thank you in advance, and sorry if I made some grammar mistakes.
Nothing?
Bump. Same phone, same country, wondering how to root it. Glup.
I no longer use the XT605, but Motofail can be used to root it.

It runs Gingerbread, and there are not even official ROMs for it (Motorola's webpage doesn't have it).

Hi Buddy,
Maybe it is a little bit late, but doing a quick research I found out this http://www.taringa.net/posts/celulares/16686324/Firmware-Motorola-Master-XT605.html
It is the official firmware for the Motorola XT605 Nextel Mexico, yet it might work with your carrier, it basically is the same.
This saved my phone from being a brick.
Now, my problem is that I can't use the phone without a SIM.

I dont't know why, this happens but this is not present with the firmware I'm using, try flashing this and see what happens

Just for information for other users, the Nextel Mexico ROM works well with the Chilean version of the XT605. There is some bloatware, but it can be easily be removed with ES File Explorer or Titanium Backup (once you are root, though). Also, there are some OTAs available, that you can get before rooting (when rooting, you lose the ability to receive OTA updates).
hey guys i need the fastboot driver for this device i cant get rsd lite to recognize it
