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 !

Did it used to work?
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.

Still the same thing...i have treid 4.0.0.0.3a, 4.0.0.0.3, 4.0.0.0.4, 4.0.0.0.4s, 4.0.0.0.4sse, and Mobiz 2.0b3.....all nothing...
Sometimes it would be calnot.exe notification error, or replog.dll, or now clocknot.exe error...so far only NVID works

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

Strange, however, can you post which radio version you have when you switch roms ? it could a radio rom problem....
Hi people,
I'm Luca from Italy, and I'm writing here hoping that You can help me to recover my dead PPC.
My PPC, when living, had Windows Mobile 5 like O.S.
So, As i've some problems with the phone I've decided to downgrade the radio version from 1.17 (people say that it is buggy) to 1.08.
So i run the HimaUpgradeUt_noID (I've also HimaUpgradeUt), but i've forgotten to delete the NK.nbf file from the directory.
I put the PPC in bootloader mode (SERIAL on top and ver. 1.06 on bottom) and then to the cradle directly to the motherboard USB connector
The sofware begin to update upgrading even ROM CE file, but when it arrived at 31% himaUpgrade stopped its work, showing that I need to reset (only normal reset and not soft reset) the PPC From this time until now my PPC show always and only the bootloader view.
When I try to upgrade again, the himalaya soft don't show what my PPC has like rom or radio version. It shows only the Ce rom and Radio that I'm going to ugrade.
It seems that software isn't able to erase ROM IMAGE
Active sync can't identify the device (some time it is indentified as unknown device).
When i start the software for ugrade the Active sync tray icon disappear.
I'm only able to ugrade radio stack or ExtRom.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, HELP ME.
P.S. The device is unlocked

"Edited:- Problem solved, I loaded the upgrade from a different PC. I don't know why my main PC would not work as that is the one I regularly sinc the pocket PC to, but it just kept aborting the upgrade. Anyone else having this problem, try another PC."

Hi Rudegar,
first MANY MANY MANY THANKS for Your support.
I'm very unlucky.
I'm not able to upgrade my PPC.
The strange thing is that i can upgrade Radio Stack and even Extended Rom!
Only CE ROM wont' update.
Previous CE ROM installed was AKU 3.5 and Windows Mobile 5.0
Everythings worked fine.
Non other way?
I've seen that after launched del himaupgradeUt_noID the Activesync tray icon ho away.
My PPC sometimes ins't "seen" by my XP while other times it is "unknown device"
Why Can I only update RADIO and Extended Rom, while CE Rom not?
... P.S.
evey kind of button that I push the PPC is always in Bootloader Mode!
I'ev tryed: POWER + CAMERA + REC + STYLUS over the hole.
When I put the PPC to battery charger, red led is on until nothing is on the display, while when there is the written over the display, led is off.
No way to help me?
No news? I'm so sad

Hi,
I've I-mate Jamin with WM6 rom (PDAVIET 4.0.0.6).
I try to install phonePad Internation for get T9 Italian dictionary in my prophet, but after softreset I'm unable to activate this (I see PhonePad in input method list but when I press on it nothing occurs).Why?
Can anyone help me?
Tanks
Gian
I have the same problem with many of WM6 roms, and i can't seem to find what is causing this problem.. Any one know anything of this problem ?
try a soft reset. ive got this prob too and now its ok. i think its a memory problem.
Software Reset does not help for me.. The only thing that has worked for me yet is to re install.. Then it will work for around 3 - 4 uses and then the problem begins again..
is it memory? I had similar problems, and changing the page pool worked for me.
I'm a bit monged right now, so I can't even remember which size is which.
Try 12meg page pool(or if I got it the wrong way round try 4 )
There's stuff on this site, and probably on the wiki, explaining which is which.
Hey, I'm having a weird problem when i'm trying to put a new rom in my prophet, but i will explain it better so you can help me understand where is the problem..

I've already try very times.. but it's always the same the white sreen dissapears. What the hell is happening? can everyone help me? I would be thank full
