Hi.
Just got a second hand XDAII.
I hard reset it before doing anything.
I've upgraded to the 172 rom and reset it again.
Put my o2 PAYG sim (which works fine in another phone) in it. Nothing works, it wont even dial, just says "Call ended" when I try to dial a number. Also it wont find a preferred network if I try in the settings.
I thought maybe it is locked to contract SIM so Ive unlocked it using the xdadev_all_unlock-v1.6_138.exe utility but it still wont work.
I cant select "Prepaid" for the UK but I heard you set this manually in the WAP settings etc. Does this make a difference for making normal phone calls though? I'm thinking that I shouldnt have to do anything at all for the phone to work, surely phone calls work automatically when you put a SIM in it?
Though even if I select postpaid UK, every time I turn the phone off and back on, it seems to be back on Germany or Ireland, again, whether this is making any difference or not I'm unsure.
Does anybody have any ideas please?
Crap I posted this in the wrong forum sorry. Is it possible to be moved to the Himalaya & Andes please?
Hmmm never mind. Im thinking it was probably stolen and blocked by the network. Oh well.
I had the same problem, I unlocked it using the xda unlocker, put my t-mobile sim in and all is well.
I haven't upgraded it though, too scared to go that far yet, only got it today! gonna have to change from 02

Hi All,
Bought a SPV M3100 over a week ago (15th Aug) and got it unlocked using http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ straight away
Installed my O2 work sim in and had no problems recieving and making calls for over a week. However today I noticed the phone was just searching for an operator. Can not make or receive calls.
The original Orange sim works fine in the M3100 and so does my other O2 pay as you go sim. My work sim works fine in my other 2 nokia phones!
I have reset the phone both soft and hard
What is going on? Anyone have any ideas as i am very puzzled!
Thanks
BK
Just tried my work colleagues O2 sim which is just one number different to my phone number and the stupid thing is doing the same thing where it's just searching for a network!!!!!
Ahhhh. Someone please help.
My Pay as you go O2 sim works fine and for does the original O2 sim.
Thanks
BK
Panic over!!
Went into the phone network settings and changed the Network Selection to manual from Automatic. Then used the select button to choose "O2 - UK". The sim is now being recongnised and I have full reception again. Phew!
No idea why i suddenly have to do this out of the blue when it was working perfectly before.
BK
Oh Man! Just when I thought i had this thing sorted. It's failing to register on the O2 network again.
Anyone else having similar problems with unlocked SPV M3100's?

Please don't say this. My SPV M3100 will be here thursday.
I have my other pay as you go O2 sim in the m3100 at the moment and it working fine.
Therefore I am guessing the problem lies with my work contract O2 sim. I don't think it's tied in any way to the imei as I have tried the sim with multiple non work phones and it's fine.
I have read somewhere there may be issues with old 2g sim's i.e. 5 years old+ working in new 3g phones. I think mine was issued to me about 2000/2001.
Now all I need to do is workout how I am going to get the company I work for to issue me a new sim!

I had similar problem as you are. My M3100 wouldn't hold onto O2 signal. Not sure if its the phone, the Orange Rom, the O2 sim card, imei check unlocking or what. Solved it by flashing the Dopod rom works near flawlessly now. Can't guarantee it'll work for you but it did for me.
I give up.
Managed to get me a brand new O2 sim from work and............ it still does not work im my unlocked Orange SPV M3100!!!!
Whats so bizarre is my Pay As You Go O2 sim works fine and my original work sim worked initially for a few days.
Going to test my work sim in another 3G phone.
If its the sim then I will try and find out what needs switching on/off. Failing this then it's either going to be ebay or see if I have enough courage to try a rom upgrade.
ROM upgrading is actually very easy. All you need to do is download the desired rom. Connect the phone over wired usb activesync & then just start the rom program & its just a matter of following the on screen instructions from there.
What you will find that once the upgrading starts it'll get to 6% or something like that & then it will stop & display error messages. Don't worry just exit the program with disconnecting the phone (infact don't touch the phone at all) & start again. You'll go through all the same screens as before but this time the update should load till it finished. Takes a good 15mins so be patient.
I'm running the Dopod rom on my M3100 & everything is pretty stable.
Thanks for the advise Zen123
I have since my last post upgraded the Radio rom to 1.16.00.00
Touching wood with my fingers crossed and my lucky rabbits foot in my pocket I have a network coverage on my work O2 sim for 2 whole days!!!!!
The device has been reset several times and I use the Tube daily so signal is lost and gained frequently.
I am however still not yet completely convinced the issue is fixed as I believe I had network coverage for approx 4-5 days with O2 after I originally unlocked it.
I'll update this thread after a week or 2.

Hi,
just to prove you are not alone:
A guy i know using a Tango sim in Luxemburg bought an unlocked Vario II which worked fine with original T-Mobile sims as well as with his old prepaid Tango sim. But his new sim from Tango makes trouble as he can only receive calls but not call others.
Tango support assumed that new Roaming functions on the new sim caused conflicts with the Radio ROM which is 1.05.
He will make an update on 1.16 within the next days, I will report.
Hey all,
I am hoping somebody will have a solution to my problem as it is driving me mad.
I have an 02 XDA Atom Exec & am on the T-Mobile network in the UK & I am unable to connect to the T-Mobile GPRS service.
I have put in the correct setting but for some reason it keeps trying to connect then eventually come up with a notice that Cannot Connect & that the answering modem has disconnected.
I do not understand what this means & by the sound of it neither do T-Mobile customer services, but understandly maybe as they don't do it!!!
I hope one of you guys can help me with this problem.
Thanks Guys.
can you check with another sim card?
maby different operator?
If you will have same problem, the source in GSM module, otherwise, go to your operator.
hi, i have the same problem with my atom on UK Vodafone, it says it connects fine, but then cant locate any web pages or anything like that!
Hi,
I have tried with my vodafone PAYG sim card with the vodafone settings & it works fine, but still having problems with my T-Mobile sim.
I think I may have to phone customer service again & try get a solution from them otherwise I will cancel the web & walk & just keep the free minutes.
Spuddle, I have tried with the Vodafone sim & mine worked fine, Are you sure you have the Vodafone settings on there???
im sure i have, because it will connect, and says connected, just when i go to ie it keeps saying any web / wap page cant be located.
where did you get the settings from??
thanks!
I got the settings from http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html.
Let me know if they are the same settings that you used, If it saying that it was unable to load up the page do a reset ot try closing down running programs & try again.
its still not working!
I have just got a T-Mobile account with the Web'n'Walk and I am experiencing the exact same problems.
I have used my Atom Exec on Vodafone AU, Vodafone UK, O2 UK and they all connect straight away. (and when the SIM is inserted there is a G in the top next to the telephone signal strength)
But as soon as i put in the T-Mobile SIM in the G is no longer there and it is an X and when i try to connect i get the error:
Dialed:general.t-mobile.uk
The answering modem has disconnected
Version:
CMOS:55.44
ExtROM:EX0033
Hardware:C1
Radio:R060711N_MN2ARC_RS00013
ROM:20060721B1WWE
faulkss, That is exactly the same message that I get.
Have you tried phoning up T-Mobile at all???
Yeah like 5 times!
And I have even gone in to a T-Mobile store...
They have nothing at all!!! They all say that the settings are all correct, my SIM is GPRS enabled, and that there is nothing that they can do.
I have put my SIM in an MDA Vario and it works like a dream???
So last night I was going through the registry on the MDA and looking for keys that I did not have and then manually entering them... but still no luck.
I am guessing that there is some setting somewhere that the SIM is looking for and does not find, hence the X instead of the G.
To be honest I think that I am in a little over my head.
But I have just signed up to this so that I could use Push email, and it is like 5 days into a 12 month contract, so I really want to get it to work!
Steve
Well I have called them again, and they have no idea and really don’t want to find out why as they have never heard of the ATOM Exec (poor them as they are missing out).
So I have just cancelled my contract with them, and since I have only had it for 5 days there is no penalty.
I am going to sign up for an O2 plan and add the blackberry (£10) option on it.
It might be an extra 10er a month on the T-Mobile plan, but at least I will have everything that I want.
Steve
Yeah, good on you!!!
If T-Mobile can't be arsed to help you they do not deserve the money you would have given the.
The only thing is that I am on 18 month contract with about 9 months remaining, so the choice for me will be to either sell the Atom Exec ( even though I love it!!!) or go back to my trusty MDA Vario.
Decisions, Desisions!!!!
I have until monday when i send it back to get it working... and i have been looking on the msdn site at programming different settings in the regitry...
if i get it before monday i will let you know
Steve
Thanks dude.
did not get it to work which is a shame!
I am sure that it is to do with the settings within the registry, but no matter what i tried nothing seemed to work.
Sorry
Steve
Thats cool dude, at least you gave it a go.
Did you cancel your T-Mobile contract???
yeah ... in time no to have to pay anything
I had problems twice connecting via GPRS. The latest one on the imate JAMin (HTC Prophet). I had to delete the GPRS modem and created new one with different name but same settings and it worked. Good Luck.
it works fine on an imate jam ... it does not work on the atom exec's
i bought M3100 of the street, it was working on orange, i unlocked it and was working fine with O2 when i changed the SIM to it started saying No service, only on a T-mobile SIM it say 3G T-mobile but i m not able to make or recieve any calls, i tryed doing the unlock & ungrading the rom again and again i m not sure wat happned, now i have a feeling the mobile might have been stolen but still not sure, it cost me £200. any advice on how i can make the phone work again??????????

i download the Imate rom and then tryed unlocking didnt work, then tryed mtty.exe again but nothing happned. i have downloaded the USB moniter but i dont know hoe to manually update the rom..
HELP!!!!!!!!!
Sound like a stolen phone to me. You may want to go back the shop and see what they can do about it. Just act blur and mention nothing about you unlocking the phone or flashing the ROM.

well, i did not buy it from the shop, i bought it from a person who i used to know and he was leaving the country and selling his phone. if its stolen will it work outside europe? or what do u think about changing the ime no. for using here and out side europe.
I had the same problem but could not connect to O2, problem solved by changing settings in phone; ensure that in the "set networks" that T-mobile is selected. I have to do this each time i rest the m3100 untill i can find a work around
I have since discovered that my IMEI has been blocked. This phone was bought off eBay in January but apparently the block was only placed on August 7th. I'm gutted, I'm really hoping this can be resolved or that I am covered by insurance.

Hi everyone,
I'd greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me. Here is what happened:
About 2 weeks ago I upgraded radio from 1.38 to 1.50, which worked and everything was fine.
Last week I went on holiday to a little place on the beach, where signal has normally been a problem. Not so this time, I had plenty of signal and was talking and texting fine.
On Tuesday it worked all morning and then in the afternoon the signal dropped off and it said "no service". I cycled the phone radio a few times and rebooted the phone, all to no avail. I concluded that the local cell tower had a fault and that I wasn't in range of another.
On Wednesday we took a trip and, as I expected, a few miles down the road my phone picked up signal again, consistent with the faulty cell tower hypothesis. I recieved a load of texts that had been waiting for me, made a few calls and everything was fine. When we got back to where we were staying, the signal held - I presumed the fault had been fixed.
Later that evening the signal dropped out again as before. I assumed that perhaps the fault hadn't been sufficiently fixed in the cell tower, so while annoying I presumed when I got to a different area the signal would come back like it did before.
However, it didn't. We came home on Friday and it hasn't picked up a signal, just says "no service". If I manually search for networks it finds O2 (as well as all the others) and I can select it, but it still says "no service".
I plugged in a T-Mobile sim, and it found signal immediately, BUT I cannot send/recieve calls or texts, people calling me hear a strange problem about it being unable to connect their call, and text message delivery reports give the same (not the message that one gets if the phone is switched off) - so it is obviously on the network but something is stopping it using the network - when I try and make a call I instantly get those four beeps which indicate the call has ended.
I then phoned O2 and said I think my SIM is dead, and they agreed and are sending me a new one. However, I then tried my old O2 sim again and got a brief signal, but still the same problem as the T-Mo sim - cannot send/recieve calls/texts/anything.
My O2 sim now says no service, although I have tried it in another phone and it works fine.
Since then I have re-flashed 1.38, hard reset the OS (Sleuth's v3) and flashed the O2 WM6 official rom with 1.47, all making no difference. I've tried forcing 2G and 3G and particular frequencies (it usually says it cannot apply these band settings, but after several reboots I sometimes manage to change it).
So, in summary:
Signal is very intermittent and usually says "no service".
Even when I do have signal, I cannot send/recieve calls/texts.
My O2 sim definitely works.
I have tried radios 1.50, 1.38 and 1.47 to no avail.
I have hard reset the ROM (Sleuth's v3) and flashed the O2 official ROM to no avail.
Desperate for help! Many thanks
I have also cleaned the SIM, SIM contacts in the phone, and checked that I can access the SIM card from the phone, and I can get the phone's IMEI etc so at least part of the radio seems to be working, and as mentioned before the SIM definitely works.
Thanks
Update:
I have tried Orange post-pay and Orange pre-pay sims and they both work fine, so it doesn't appear to be my phone that has broken.
However, my original O2 sim continues to work in another Nokia phone, suggesting that the sim isn't broken.
It may just be the pairing of that sim with my phone, which is the only thing I can think of. Does the Hermes apply sim "profiles" to sims which are inserted? Have I messed up the profile associated with that sim? My new O2 sim should come next week so we will see if that one works.
Also, the error messages of the text delivery reports sent to my phone while my O2 sim was in it say "Interworking Not Available" (this is from an Orange phone). Any idea what that means?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Shot in the dark here: how did you get your Hermes? Could it be blacklisted from O2 - i.e. could it be stolen from an O2 subscriber. (I would assume by the person you got it from, I am not accusng you of anything!)
Hi Todd,
Thanks for your reply. It's not something I'd thought of but it could fit the scenario. I got the phone off eBay back in January and had no problems with it until now. It's actually a T-Mobile branded one, (i.e. the MDA) rather than the XDA Trion. When I phoned O2 to ask if my account had been blocked and to get a new sim the person I spoke to said there was nothing to indicate that my account would have been blocked, which would presumably include any blocked IMEIs that were listed there. Also, if the phone had been blocked after being listed stolen it would have been blocked on all networks wouldn't it? If my new sim doesn't work I will phone O2 and ask them if my IMEI is blocked, so thanks for your suggestion.
As updated in the first message, my IMEI has been blocked, causing all the problems. The reason the Orange sims worked must be because the block hasn't propagated to the Orange network yet.
Hey i discovered i had the same problem today aswell i bourght the phone of Ebay for the first day it was working then next day i upgraded to WM6 and it stop working i did some research on why it stop working and here it was
Orange & O2:
If you place an active orange or
O2 sim into a blacklisted handset you
phone will not show any signal strength
at all! If the handset is a Nokia then a
"SIM card registration failed" message
will also be displayed. If your handset is an
Ericsson then an "Invalid Mobile" message
will be displayed. For most other manufacturers
the handset will simply show no signal!
Vodafone & T-Mobile
If you place an active Vodafone or T-Mobile sim into a blacklisted handset, the phone will appear to function perfectly UNTIL you try to make an outgoing call. When you try to call out from the handset you will hear a sequence of beeps and then the call will be dropped!!
wow nice story man , it seemed like a movie or something
anyway before i finish it i expected that your problem is that the phone IMEI is blacklisted . since its working with orange and other sims . its usually normal to get signal but u wont be able to make or recieve phone calls .
good luck .
I've had my Atrix 4g for about 10 days, never rooted or bootunlocked or anything like that, it's still 100% retail from AT&T. I've just made phone calls and fiddled with a few apps.
Today I had the bright idea to plug my old tmobile sim card into it thinking it'd boot right up and I could go into the settings and copy off some of my old contact numbers, I could always do it on older less than smartphones. Well it came up asking for a Sim network Unlock PIN. I didn't know what that was so I just took it out and put my old AT&T sim back into the phone, thinking it was just a failed endevour and that I would just go on about my business like it had never happened.
Well upon booting with the activated sim card the phone came with and the one I've been using... Much to my dismay, it's STILL asking for a Sim network Unlock PIN, I haven't the slightest idea what that is and I can't get past it unless I boot the phone up with no BP, then I can get into android and fiddle around on my wifi and do that kinda stuff but the Network Provider bars won't light up, it's like it has no idea who my cell provider is even though the at&t sim card is in it!
I'm at a loss, I called AT&T and I went into their store, but the most they could do for me was give me an 8 digit pin that didn't work and I found something on motorola's site that said something like 4digits of 1's and that doesn't unlock it either. They even gave me a new sim card at the store, and it's still asking for the Sim Network Unlock PIN. It's as if MOTOBlur has went ass up I did a factory reset after the new sim card, and yet it's still asking. I haven't the slightest idea what to do. AT&T said they'd just replace the phone and of course I'd probably be out of a phone for a couple weeks.
I'd be glad to try some troubleshooting if someone is willing to work with me.
Matt
bring your phone to a local at&t store and ask for a replacement.
Luckily they dont' have any in stock as they only have the atrix 2 in stock nowadays, so once again without for a couple weeks
Ya, I didn't think anyone would be able to help me here, other posts relating to this topic have gone unsolved as well worth a shot I guess.
It was posted elsewhere flashing a different carriers radio and then unlocking worked. Then the user was able to flash the newest radio for his carrier.

I would love to flash, but I don't suppose I'd get another try if I accidentally flashed the wrong file...
I just wish I could flash it back to the way it was when it first came out of the AT&T box the other day...
I found someone who had a tmobile account and had them call for me using my imei number and they've requested an unlock code from motorola, so I'm going to wait for that and see what happens...
I still feel like there should be some kind of way to flash back to an original firmware someone might be able to copy off from an out of the box at&t atrix.
Are you sure you're not looking at the Motoblur account login?
positive, says Input Sim Network PIN and it stays resident regardless what sim is inserted.
It is kind of funny how the factory reset doesn't actually reset it back to factory conditions

All factory reset does is wipe the data partition, which would put it back in a "factory like" state.
