Hi,
I have a strange problem with my Qtek 2020. Before I installed and upgraded the Qtek I have put a temporary simcard (nr 1) in the Qtek. I updated to 1.72 and everything worked very well. Also the GPRS / internet setting works fine. After a softreset the device boots up and detects the GPRS network (you briefly see the "G" in the display).
I always put a temporary simcard in the device after an upgrade so I can test everything and don't miss any calls.
After my succesfull tests I have put my own simcard (nr 2) in the phone. This simcard has exactly the same subscrition as the first. I checked this with Vodafone. But..... after a softreset the device boots up and doesn't detect the GPRS network (I don't see the "G" in the display).
I can't connect to GPRS. I haven't changed any settings, I checked them all. I installed the GPS-GPRS-Tweak but it still doesn't work....
Please help....

Just one question before I attempt to answer yours, where did you get a QTEK 202 1.72 update, there is none as far as I know... I feel u may have installed the dual band update and are in a tri band area and as such your phone radio is not working cuz its set on a different frequency!

1) did you check you have enough prepaid credit on your sim ?
2) try the sim card on a second phone;
3) call the customer service, they can verify if you are registered on network and gprs enabled.

I think he means: T-mobile 1.72 WWE.
So radio should be working ok...
Thanks for your suggestions!

1) Yes, I have enough credit. It's no prepaid card.
2) I installed the sim in my P900 and the internet and GPRS works fine.
3) I did, but they didn't know what to do...... I am registed on the network and gprs is enabled (it works fine on other phones such as my P900).
Any other suggestion?
I now think the problem is not Qtek related but has something to do with Vodafone. The weird thing is both simcards have exactly the same subsripction and settings....
Thanks, JeDa

He probably does Panja mate.
And what he is describing is the exact same problem I am having , that I think we have discussed before, and I have flagged up in the 1.72 ROM thread.
And I never even installed the ROM, but instead, only the Extended ROm files, copied over to my device, and ran/installed.
When I power up, my XDA2 finds the network, but DOES NOT do a GPRS connectivity check to see if there is GPRS coverage.
As yet, I have still not found a solution to this problem either!
YES!!!!
Problem solved!!
What I did:
- settings
- connections
- gprs setting
- changed PAP authentication to CHAP authentication
- changed Class 8 (4R1T) to Class 10 (3R2T)
The radio was reset and now the Qtek found the gprs network!!
Back to MSN, internet etc!
Thanks,
JeDa
Worked !
Good afternoon,
I am new on the forum and in the XDA2 world.
Bought my unit in Germany and received it in German !
I Just flashed it with the new 1.72 !
All went Smoothly, NO Problem at setup and so far everythink looks OK !

Er, have you made sure this survives a reboot?
As putting it simply, ANYTHING that requires a GPRS connection, was enough for my device to find the GPRS service, and then connect. And then even if I hung up, it still had GPRS coverage then.
But as soon as a reboot, well of course it is gone again.
I'll try your suggestion and see, but I am sure I have done this before, and after a reboot, its gone again...

I hope so, cos its as hard as hell if you need or want to downgrade back again.
You should have read the posts on the board first.
Panja mate, by the way, did you ever find a way to go back to your existing ROM?

Update did not work
Hi all,
I just tried to use this update however it did not work. It said something about invalid operator?? It is an Orange M3100...
Any tips?
Dave
It is the WWE update from orange; if you have a bootloader >=1.06 it will only setup on a device having a CID matching ORANGE_001 or something like that. As far as I know there are different CID for each contry, an french device will have something like Orange_203 for CID.
Upgraded ok on an M3100. - Mine was unlocked with imei-check v3 so my CID was 0 anyway, but I suspect it would have been fine.
Versions are now:
Operator version: 14.123.10.702
ROM Version: 1.23.70.2
ROM Date: 08/14/06
Radio version: 1.06.04.00
Protocol version: 32.37.7010.01H
OS Build: 14955.2.3.0
It left my bootloader at version 1.04 (possibly this could be handy for people with M3100s who have tried to install an image with bootloader v1.06?)
Interestingly though it set my CID back to HTCSORANG001 and set my privilege level back to FF, however the phone remained SIM-unlocked. I switched to a T-Mobile SIM (I have a dual-sim adaptor) and it worked fine.
Re-run imei-check v3 and it set my CID to SuperCID and priv level to 0 again.
Seems fine so far. Of course it's only been up 10 mins....
I CANT SEEM TO FIND THE ROM!~~
any links
thanks
It's still in Hermes uploads. I don't feel confident enough in it just yet to update the wiki; let's get some confirmation that it's ok.
It appears to originate from Romania btw. When I installed it my regional settings were Romanian and the PIE favourites had Romanian sites in them. Seems to work fine in English though; I had to go hunting to figure out where it was from.
I've re-installed most of my stuff now. No apparent probs so far.
Ok got everything re-installed.
Syncing mail, calendar & contacts OK. PhoneAlarm working OK. Resco Explorer OK. Tried a couple of games OK. TomTom OK. Phone calls OK. Connected to GPRS & Wi-Fi OK. Browsed the internet ok. Java apps OK. Camera OK. Citrix apps OK.
Only difference I've noticed so far is it's been trying to connect to Orange GPRS in preference to Wi-Fi. I just deleted my Orange GPRS settings, since I use my T-Mobile sim for GPRS, so that's fixed.
Updated the Hermes Upgrading wiki, although link for file is to Hermes Uploads.
Pof, I think you can move the file to Shipped_Complete_Updates, when you're ready.
I can confirm that this Rom works an absolute treat. Does appear to be Romainian as the Time zone is set there.
Updated my phone several weeks ago to an Imate Rom, which worked ok but didn't really solve the problems I was having (namely bluetooth). Now have an Orange Rom again so at least I can get the phone swapped by Orange again if I ever knacker it.
Well done one and all for finding this Rom
Is it faster/more stable?
What other improvements?
Does it have MSN Messenger on it?
I can't really say I've noticed it being particularly faster. I seem to have less problems with my Dual-SIM adaptor, but that may be coincidence. Apart from that, it seems pretty much the same.
One hiccup to watch out for; the MMS settings default to using a Romanian server, so if you use this you may need to go to Inbox > Menu > Tools > Options > MMS > Servers and change the settings on the MMS server.
No MSN Messenger. I don't use this, but isn't there an install file for it floating around somewhere?
I had a play with IM, and Agile messenger or IM+ seemed quite good if I remember rightly.
couple of things with the rom:
i had it for 2 days then flashed teh imate telstra rom again due to :
1)the phone got hung several times a day , requiring soft resets
2)it went to sleep mode and didnt wake up by pressing the power button .. again had to soft reset
3)didnt work very with wizbar adv 2
so i went back to imate telstra rom which works flawlessly on my jasjam
also i had no problems like above with any of the other roms (tytn,dopod,cingular) only with this rom!!

You, discriminator! ...Kidding. Maybe this happens due to the fact that this ROM was meant to work on European networks. It might have some radio incompatibilities with the US networks. Try to separately install the latest Cingular radio (it is available on the xda ftp). I may be wrong about the above said, but in Romania this ROM works flawlessly...
yeah i guess so... will try later..
i used to love orange roms.. due to their very nice and easy to navigate today app..but man in this rom the background totally sucks!!!

I am having the same issues with the phone getting hung..or won't come from sleep mode. I am rocking the cingular 1.31 rom.
I can't seem to connect to my 3 network. In the strength meter on top, theres a ! sign. And there is no service for current network. When i try to find network manually, theres no 3 service.
Is my dopod 838pro bricked? It was working fine until it hanged and after i soft reseted it, it can't connect to the network anymore.
Is there any way i can fix it? I have just updated all the ROMS and Radio roms and am running wm6.

Please help. Thanks
Hmmm... have you read the Sticky thread on bricks? This sounds like a problem I have seen in there. Probably easy to fix - first try flashing back to where you started. Read through the sticky - it will help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755
How long ago did you flash? Did it never work after flashing or did it work for a day, a week...? Need more info. I assume you verified that the SIM isn't the problem?
yes i have read the brick thread and have tried flashing it again but it didn't seem to work. i've also re-did the radio ROM as well.
I flashed and upgraded to wm6 after the network problem and it still doesn't seem to work.
I don't think it's the sim problem as it works with my other phone SE k800i. But i'll try changing the sim card and get a new one on monday.
I'm leaving the option of sending it to Teleplan as a last resort as it is quite a hassle to send the dopod all the way to sydney when i'm situated in Perth.
Anyone know a service center for dopod in Perth?
dopod 838pro
i'm not sure but when i use my optus sim card, it seems to work. but not with my 3 sim card.

Try starting up your phone with no sim card and see what happens, I think have the same problem, I can't use any other radio than 1.16, and even that may have problems. If I use any other radio roms, I get no service, and if I take out my sim, it doesnt even realize that there is no sim, it says no service, and also the phone will freeze on the today screen with half the plugins loaded.
BTW what radio are you using?
I get the same error with my 3 sim and the .41 radio rom.
I have upgraded and downgraded many times, never with a failure. I just upgraded to PDAVIET 4.0003. Went without a hitch but now my phone will not stay on the network, also it will every few minutes complain that there is no sim card. Card is fine as tested in my other phones. The interesting part is it functions fine on any 2.2 ROM.
Tried Smart1's True's and all PDAVIET, no WM6 allows the phone to work.
Cold resets don't resolve the issue. Is there something that could have gotten corrupted that is part of the phone OS and not in the ROM's?
I am at a loss to troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks for reading, any advice/suggestions is appreciated.
ron1n, what is the network protocol for your provider?
Do you use pap or chap, the setting choice in CommManager?
Is network set for auto in phone dialog?
In your connection settings, do you use Server assigned ip address or auto?
Since i have upgraded to PDAviet i have almost the same problem.
After soft-resetting my device no gsm connection is found.
The only solution is to go into phone option and start the manual search.
If it's connected it works without any problems.
Strange thing....I also tested a few gsm roms but always the same experience.

Reflash Radio ROM (2.47.21 or 2.69.21 will work)
To reply to all of your suggestions. I have tried 5 different radio roms, none will see the phone network (GSM not GPRS) for more than a few seconds with a weak signal, then they fail and either go to flight mode or say that the SIM is missing. To reiterate, this was working fine up until yesterday with a few different WM6 ROM's. Coincidentally, the rear speaker failed at the same time. I resolved that issue, but the lack of phone service persists, although all AKU 2.2 ROM's work fine. Very curious....

It is CHAP, although I am referring to the phone service not wireless GPRS. My network is configured for auto, although if I switch to manual (due to the lack of consistent conntection), it will not be able to see any networks, except briefly and intermittently.

WM6 Sim Card issues [solution, use radio rom 2.19.21]
I've been using WM6 for awhile now, I've tried SMART1.3, PDAVIET 4.0.0.01, 4.0.0.0.3,4.0.0.0.3a and finally 4.0.0.0.4 .. but yesterday i tried to flash back to SMART1.3. After downgrading and upgrading, i got unknown sim status ! since yesterday , I've change my Radio Rom and OS ( I've tried almost everything ) but i can't get my phone to work in WM6 !! when i flash back to wm5 ( any AKU 2.2 version ) i have no problem with phone or GSM but as soon as I upgrade to WM6, I got unkown Sim status ... anybody , have any Ideas ?!!
Same Problem !
I have exactly the same problem !! it's not from radio ROM or OS !! I've tried 3 different version of radio ROM, and almost every single WM6 OS that is out there ! my phone stop responding yesterday after i changed my OS from PDAVIET 4.0.0.0.4 to SMART1.3 ! since then I've tried everything, but I can't get the phone to work in any WM6 OS! although WM5 (any version of it) is okay !

Yes , it used to work ! I've been using WM6 for more than 2 weeks with no problem! recently I upgrade my os to PDAVIET 4.0.0.0.4, but I decide to change the OS back to SMART 1.3, after I changed it back, i got the error "Unknown SIM card , without the pin you can call emergency calls only" I tried my pin and PUK , but none works ! So i changed the OS to WM5 again. I've tried couple of different version of WM5 (JESTER, NVID) and I've found the phone works perfectly in wm5 !! as I said before I tried re-flashing my Radio ROM, but it didn't help !! i still can't get my phone to work in WM6 ! any of Pocket PC gurus, have any suggestion ?
S200 Gone Wacko with WM6 and I don't know why
Hello people
Okay so here is the situation, since about last week I have been using PDAViet 4.0.0.3 on my Qtek S200
Now I love this ROM..so much so that I spoon with it at night...um...crap lol Its fast and lite...but something went terribly terribly wrong yesterday
So around 1pm I disconnect my phone from my computer, and notice a "X" in the data connection arrows...okay I thought nothing of it. I go to a restaurant, get a phone call from my brother, and talk, and everything is fine. From there it went bonkers...it kept on trying to connect a GSM signal, and then would go out to no service...it would keep on trying and trying, and bogging down my phone....
So finally i got it stablize (with an EDGE data signal i thought) and of course a voice signal and went on my merry 2 hour drive back home to Montreal.
When I got to Montreal and was waiting in the dead moving traffic jam, I wanted to check the Windies cricket score on BBC, so I take out my phone and try to make a data connection. But again the X showed...i rebooted my phone and signal about 10 or 20 times, and finally got something...however by the time that happend I had arrived at home so i went and used my computer.
The GSM signal stayed, but I dont know if I had a data connection. I then went to a funeral, turned off my radio entirely, and then when I turn it back on...ooooooooo no signal...it would get 2 bars, and then drop, and then 2 bars "E" symbol, and then drop.
So from then on, i went nuts, opened up the back, took out the battery, checked the sim, installed another sim to make sure..and by now it went even worse..first INVALID SIM...then it went to MISSING SIM...urge to kill rising!
I finally said F it, and hard resetted my phone...but i noticed something upon the screen calibration..."NOTIFICATION ERROR...cannot find calnot.exe". After hard resetting and such, the problem still showed...
This morning, after leaving it overnight, it was still misbehaving...so I went to took it back down to the floating NVID file found here on XDA developers...and oddly enough...no more calnot.exe error...the radio signal is strong, and i get a data connection...So i tried to then upgrade to the new PDAViet 4.0.0.4s ROM, but again...calnot.exe error...so finally i am stuck at the NVID ROM...oy!
So I searched here on XDA Developers and on google...now while people have said they get the calnot.exe error, they also get this reglog.dll (or something to that effect) error as well...me on the other hand am only getting that calnot.exe error, which would seem to be the root of my problem.
What can I do fix this, and get back to the speedy 4.0.0.3 ROM (man I love that ROM)
Phone info:
ipl: 2.09
spl: 2.20.0000 (so I guess that my Qtek S200 is a G3 model)
radio: 02.47.21 (i even moved up to 02.69.21)
os: 2.20.7.34
so i really appreciate the help guys...take care...

Flash again the WM5 NoVid Rom,hard reset and if you come up with the same error,hard reset again... Tell me what happens... If it works flash PDAViet 4.0.0.0.3a...
Holy S*** I have the same Problem for like two weeks!!
Man , I have exactly the same problem !!! exactly !! i had PDaviet 4.0.0.0.4 and one day I got the same thing, No signal , then after i hard reset, the Calnot error ! then Hard reset again, and this time I got the replog error !
I get "Unknown Sim Card!" or "Unknow Sim Card status enter your pin" whenever I install WM6! My phone works perfectly in Wm5 though !!
I flashed radio rom in WM6, I also tried different sim Cards , but none works !I can not get the phone to work in wm6!
By the way, NVID is not a good rom to stay with.

In a way I am glad you are having the same problem...so I know I am not a nut lol (and nor am I alone)...but of course its not good to relish in someones downfall, so of course it is also a bad thing eh..
What ROM would you suggest then? NVID seems alright, but I don't know of any others out there (well somewhat)...thanks!
I wish we knew why it happened at first place!
for wm5, if you want a clean, fast and reliable Rom, try Jesterz Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284578
you might want to re flash the start-up image to HTC logo... you can find the .cap in the same thread.. I also updated the radio rom too, you can find it in prophet wiki.
Jesterz Rom is nice cause you don't have to uninstall anything, it's really clean and stable. it is by far better than NVID, but don't ask why cause i have to ramble a lot.
Oh by the way if you found out why this happened to us .. let me know

The phone connection is not stable ! it comes and goes ! and i get " Unknow SIM status. 3 attempts remaining. Only emergency calls can be made without a pin." well i tried different sim card , and i still get the same error !
HELPPPPPPPPP Pleaseeeeeee !
I just Upgraded my phone to ASreg3.3.12, and LvsW Aku2.3 and still doesn't work !!
I get the same error ! the Phone App doesn't function! I get Unknown Sim Status! I've tried NVID, and Jesterz Roms , both AKU 2 and both work fine !!
any suggestions ?
Strange, however, can you post which radio version you have when you switch roms ? it could a radio rom problem....
Appologize for posting the thread twice... I wasn't sure if this goes to the Hermes or the Herald forum...
Hello All,
I recently got an ATT 8525 and I'm trying to use it with my T-Mobile (US) SIM. I was able to successfully unlock the SIM and CID with an util/rom I found on this site (I think the post was from Pof). And I also re-flashed the phone with the latest ROM available.
But after about 5-10mins of usage the signal dies and when I reboot it says No GSM. Looks like the Radio ROM gets corrupted. I tried just re-flashing the Radio ROM and that doesn't help either. It works for short while and again the signal dies.
And also, I'm unable to install any of the generic ROMs (Fantastic Mobiz, PVET 40005) Although I'm connected to Active Sync when I run the Step 1 (ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe), I get a ERROR [222] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING. And when I run the step 2 directly (update_rom.bat) I get an cannot update itsutils.dll maybe in use error.
As you can tell I've been messing with phone a lot for a couple of days with no luck and my frustration level is kinda high
As of now here’s where I stand. I re-flashed the phone (Image: 3.62, Radio 1.50) and it’s on the “Tap the screen to set up your windows based mobile device” screen. I plan on leaving it on this screen until I can a good solution.
I would like to get rid of the ATT ROM and install one of those hybrid generic ROM that is not Carrier specific. Any help will be much appreciated. Share your ideas, I’m very experimental
Phone Details…
ATT 8525
HERM100
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 1.40.0 lipro
ok ur going all over the map here.. did u hardspl first? also pvet 40005 isnt a hermes rom.. um try hardspl first THEN flash to a new rom maybe once you successfully do that then try a new 3.62 rom.. i run austinsync buts its naked..just like i like my women. ha. but if ur looking for a full blown try fun_key's rom or blinkys.. these arent carrier dependent
hey man jakeypoo, Thanks for your reply. I kinda figured that I was all over the map.
Okay first appologize my ignorance. What is a HardSPL? I did a search on this forum and I found Hard-SPL-V7.zip. Is this a good version to use? Also when I run the exe, All options are grayed out except for "Force Using SSPL" and "Is it Hard-SPL". What do I select.
Thanks!
Hardspl v7 is the latest version out there, its the one for you to use so that you're safe from future mishaps.
I also have an 8525 on T-mobile... so no worries.
Hope this helps.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HardSPL
still problems (no gsm)
Thanks whistler4ever. That link was really a great help.
Here's what I did...
1. Installed the Hard SPL version 6
2. Installed the latest ATT ROM (ver 3.62 radio: 1.54) I had to do this because the radio on the phone was corrupt (says "no GSM" on the start screen) and couldn't install just the radio rom. kept giving connection errors.
3. Installed Schap's WM6 Pro 3.57 hoping this would get ride of the ATT ROM and my intial problem (no GSM) will go away.
Everything was fine for like 15 mins, then my phone just froze. I reboot the phone and sure enough the radio ROM was gone (no gsm). ;(
Running out of ideas.
1. Could this problem be because I'm using a TMobile SIM on a ATT's radio ROM?
2. Is the radio ROM specific to the phone type and provider(ATT, TMO..)? Is there a generic WM 6 radio rom? If yes, where can I find the latest version?
3. Any bright ideas?
Thanks again!
Current phone details...
ATT 8525
HERM100
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.10
ROM 3.62
Radio: no gsm
I was able to flash just the radio ROM - version 1.51. But again after a few hours the Radio got currupted. I also tried to follow the instruction ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem5 ) to use the mtty.exe utility, but I don't get a USB prompt. I get Cmd prompt and if I still enter the password, it says invalid password. please help!!!
And how do I do the USB monitor capture? I could post more details that way. I'm using my girl friend's old razr now and it's painful!
I have used my t-mobile sim on AT&T rom's and other roms with no problem. I would try going back to a factory rom and then changing back to a cooked rom just to confirm its all a clean install. also, try downgrading your radio to a 1.47 or 1.48 (those have been proved pretty reliable across many cell providers).
Thanks Whistler. I'm going to start with the 1.48 version and if that doesn't work I'll try the 1.47 version. Not giving up on this.
I found 1.47 to work very well with t-mobile even when traveling...
Thanks Galaxys. I just installed the 1.47 radio. I have fully signal and the 'E', but I can't receive or make calls.
It almost looks like my TMO SIM is not compatible with the 8525. It always works for the first few minutes after an install and then stops working.
I'm very certain the phone is in good condition.
Should I try an older radio version.. like a 1.24 or something ?
Can I install just the tmobile radio rom?
I'm also going to install TNT 2.0 pro so I have the exact same set up as you and see if that makes a difference.
no luck!!!
wow... after all this time and effort still no luck. There's got to be something very basic that I'm not doing right. Senior members any help???
I have spent a lot of time reading the wiki pages and dead hermes thread. Tried out a lot of suggestions listed.

Sounds like your doing everything right, because your flashed rom, radio, and Edge network are all functional. Since only the GSM calls don't work, I would go back to Tmobile and get a a new Sim card installed (they should do this for nothing & test it while at the store).
Also, if U got this device on ebay your IMEI could be blocked. see this thread:

Try to flash the entire UK T-Mobile ROM, then remove the internet settings and install the correct CAB for T-Mobile.

a-h-t1, Junner2003 and galaxys - I'll try all your suggestions.
a-h-t1 - The first 2 steps went through fine. While I install the radio ROM as part of step 3, the installation doesn't go past 0%
I'm going try Junner2003 idea now. I'll keep everyone posted on my progress.
install stops at 11%
Hi Junner2003,
I was trying to istall the UK Tmo ROM you suggested and it stops always at 11%. I've had this problem with other ROMs as well (12%) but after a few tries the installatons goes past it, but real slow. Any ideas?
Thanks for sending me the links... very helpful!

Hi Galaxys,
I don't think the IMEI is blocked. Or maybe it is, how do I find out? I don't have any of the symptons listed on the link you sent (don't hear the beeps or anything).
I originally had a T-Mobile wing. The LCD screen cracked (don't know how). And ofcourse TMo won't replace it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335346
I got 8525 from my company. It's almost new. Only used for a day on an AT&T SIM. This phone is free, and so I really don't have much to lose... so all out experimenting
Tried insalling from the micro card, even that stops while installing GSM. pissed!!! Why would the darn Radio not update???
this may sound stupid but if all else fails, why not...
my mda use to have signal then it would just disappear as well after 15 min or less..
turns out the sim card wasnt pressed in properly.. so i just put a piece of paper on top of the sim card to make it thicker and get the battery to press it down harder. and it solved all my problems...
just a suggestion..good luck

See this post here for a possible reason (and technical explanation/theory) for your device stalling during radio update. The fix suggestions at the bottom of the page may help you - in particular :
Try cooling the device down a bit before flashing as the PIC chip (where your radio ROM is held) may flash more reliably/easier when cool. Don't ask why - that's from it's datasheet ;-)
The paper on the SIM card is a good idea too to rule out dodgy SIM connection - Great idea r0mmel
My hermes with latest radio rom 1.54.30 is unable to run my new network sim card ..But Hermes of my friend can run it..He has 1.16 radio rom..So is it safe for me to downgrade to 1.16 directly from 1.54.30?
I am running schaps 4.2 rom with hard spl v7...
hello?help is needed urgently..plz any body
absolutely not 1.54 has radiobootloader 108
1.16 should have an older version and the 108 doesn't allow to overwrite
him with an older version.
You'll get a brick.
try another radio 1.38 and up
bye J.

ok got this one HERM_Radinly_1.38.00.01_CustomRUU_orange.zip
i think it is packed with custom ruu 4.3
now is it safe for me to flash this radio?
every radio which has radio bootloader 108 is safe..
read on wiki to exactly know it there you should find a table with
radios and related bootloader.
If I rememember well every 1.38 and up are all 108.

yes sir it is on auto ...but i dont have any 3g or wcdma in my country ..only gsm
Hrrrm... that seems kinda of strange... It may be that there is a fault in your unit - as if your GSM network uses any of the GSM bands listed on the phone, it should pick something up.
Has it worked before? Is there some kind of IMEI lock on your account?

Actually my unit easily reads a few simcards but not of my network...i dont know if my imei is blocked or what but it cant be blocked as there is nnot much technology here in pakistan and i havent stolen hermes as well....but my friend has radio 1.16 and my sim card works good on his hermes...
If your phone works fine with a sim card of a different network, then it is probably a network related issue and you might have to contact your phone company to fix it.

You might want to take a look at this thread:

It's possible that your radio ROM 1.54 has damaged the radio hardware in which case changing ROM is unlikely to make any difference.

Have you followed others advice here and tried flavours from 1.38 upwards (although at the moment I wouldn't recommend trying 1.54!)...
a) Try cleaning the SIM contacts in your phone with a little alcohol and some cotton wool buds (poor contact with the sim card can cause your phone to think it has "no signal" or "No SIM" - suffered that one myself once)
b) Try your friends SIM in your phone and see if it works (as you've already said your SIM works in his phone) - if his sim works in your phone - but yours continues not to work then you may have a blocked phone or SIM and will need to speak to your provider for advice (and to either have the sim unlocked or the phone unlocked etc)
c) Try a hard reset with no sim inserted (after backing up your data) and try the SIM again.
d) Radio updates rarely (if ever) fix SIM issues - Certainly a dodgy rollback to 1.16 is unlikely to fix anything.
ok trying 1.38.00.10. but it doesnt have option for 2.10 olipro..what should i select ?it says u should chose sspl?
The contact of the simcard with phone is perfect,as i can access my sim contacts as well as sim messages and the sim menu is there as well.
NO His sim doesn't work on my phone.
The only option is to degrade to 1.16 and see if that helps.So how should i continue with my quest?
