Greetings Friends,
I have been using a HTC P3400( Old Gene) for last 2 years. As a member here of the Gene forum( although an infrequent one) i have been flashing the various ROMs made my many talented people here. Please bear with me if this post seems inordinately long but i want to share complete details of the problem i am facing.
My peculiar problem started when i flashed my Gene with Krazy_about_technology's ROM SumitsProUsers6.5_v2_OldGene.exe. After a couple of days of using it, my Gene would perenially be searching the network to connect to it, without any success. After numerous resets, hard resets, running ghost images etc and unable to resolve the problem, i thought this was an issue with my Vodafone SIM. I got it replaced and the problem still persisted. Post that i flashed the ROM with numerous other ROMs( Mostly Krazys, I find them very useful- Thanks Krazy for sharing your beautiful works), but the problem would just not resolve. The phone would always show searching a network to connect. I could not use SMS, EDGE or any other feature of my service provider.
The issue threw up another interesting find when i was experimenting with various other GSM SIMs. I used an Airtel SIM and the Gene would work good. Then i tried with a BPL Mobile SIM and it works just as good. But the minute i insert a Vodafone SIM, mine or others, it would indicate searching a network, I would not be able to make or receive calls or sms or access any other feature.
I took the handset to a Vodafone center and even they were flummoxed. They couldnt find a solution. They used my SIM card on different handsets and it works.
They thought my handset was somehow only disabling/ blocking only a Vodafone network. They advised me to get in touch with HTC helpline.
I called them and after lenghty discussions, they confirmed this was the first time they had come across such an issue. They asked me to visit their nearest service center. I did . The result was the same. Even the service centre was flummoxed and asked me to see what would happen if i downgraded to WM5.
I did just that with a HTC stock WM5 ROM provided by Vukile in the forums. and gradually upgraded to Krazy's WM 6.1 v 2.5
The problem still persists. I have been asked to visit the service centre once they run some tests or do some research on the problem themselves on a WM 6.1 ROM
In the meantime, I am currently using my Gene with an Airtel SIM and its working perfectly. It just wont accept a Vodafone network. I am using my Vodafone SIM in a Nokia handset.
Could it be an issue with the Radio ROM version? If so, why did it work with other ROMs and still works with Airtel and BPL mobile SIMs?
Is it really true that somehow, my Gene is only blocking Vodafone networks???
Needless to add, i am not a newbie to the world of Flashing and have learnt my way through friends in the forum like Munrus, Ababrekar, Vukile, NJackal, Chayn( He used to make some great ROMs) etc for the past 2 years.
This problem has completely perplexed me and all the techies i know.
I am posting this here in the hope that some brainy chaps might just be able to figure this out.
Thanks for reading the post and for any remedy you can send my way.
Rest assured, i will be keeping this post updated if the service centre is able to come up with a solution.
Cheers!

Yes, there definately seems to be some issue with your Radio ROM. Its an older version anyways, mine is 2.79.90. Radio upgrading is simple, but finding the radio or dumping it from a phone is something i dont know.
I think the problem your phone is having is with one type of freqeuncy. In India, 3 frequencies are available : GSM900, GSM1800, and GSM1900. Most network use GSM1800 in most places and GSM900 in some places While Vodafone uses GSM900 in most places. I guess that is the reason why Vodafone sims are giving problem to you.
Two more things you can try are : If possible, using it in national roaming mode in some other state and Using some other number Vodafone sim. Try if it works. The site given below will give you an idea of what networks use what frequencies where :

Otherwise best is to let service center guys figure it out. They may replace the radio module completly or upgrade the Radio ROM, or Who knows, the whole phone itself
try below links..

Yes, You seem to be right. Vodafone at GSM900 in Mumbai seems the odd man out. Maybe the Radio ROM is not working for GSM 900 and hence affecting only Vodafone connections.
Still does it explain why the same Radio ROM worked for all this while over so many flashes and failed to connect to one particular frequency suddenly?
I have been trying to get a Radio ROM dump to 2.79.90 to upgrade. No luck yet.
My phone is out of warranty a long time ago. So no chance of getting the whole phone replaced without burning my pockets!!!
Thanks for your inputs Krazy!

Hi I dont think this is a problem with vodafone in mumbai...
Because I am also in mumbai using the vodafone service and also having the same (02.71.90) version of radio.
I think you have made any mistakes while upgrading...
Still check with upgrading Radio ... Let us know the status
Bhushan,
Yes , you may be right. Maybe i did make some mistake while flashing 6.5
None of the links have any Radio ROMs and i havent specifically done any Radio ROM upgrade myself. The only time the Radio ROM changed was when i ran Olipro HSPL.
Has anyone tried out railwayplatform's method?
How many of us are actually using the 2.71.90 version? If I am the only one facing this problem, then most probably the cause would be a bad flashing or M/B issue.
Cheers!
loop mobile a.k.a bpl mobile work on 900mhz so i dont think you have problem with 900mhz network as per my infomation your mobile is more then two year old so i think it time to buy new ..
Ofcourse its old!
But Loop and Airtel work flawlessly still. Its just Vodafone that doesnt.So no real reason why to invest in a new handset now.
Besides Its slowdown time guys!!!
There is a 99% chance there is nothing wrong with the handset.
So i am very keen to see if this problem can be resolved.
Cheers!
Hmm.. this is strange, really strange. Have you tried some other Vodafone sim too? Maybe its just with that particular number? I am just guessing now.
Krazy,
Yes the problem persists for all Vodafone SIMs( mine as well as others).
Have tried it with Vodafone SIMs of myself, my wife's, 3 colleagues at work and 3 at the Vodafone care shop.
This problem has been exihibited for all Vodafone SIMs.
Got a thought from a buddy - All this while i have been flashing with my SIM inside the phone. Does this have anything to do with the problem?
Cheers!
I dont think so...

i dont think so flashing with the SIM inside the phone is causing the problem...and may be you need to visit a HTC service center and ask them to flash an official wm 5 with an updated radio rom and see if it works...just a suggestion...Hope this helps....Good luck mate...
Just a thought
I have flashed my poor Gene and now departed Vox how many times I don't know, and everytime the SIM was inside. So that wont be issue.
Just a thought, are you using Vodafone Prepaid? Because Vodafone, atleast in Kolkata still provide 16 K SIMs and earlier when I had a Vodafone Prepaid number, my Vox would reboot between calls or while browsing the contacts / msgs. This was told to me by the tech support at a nearby Vodafone store that it IS a issue with all sophisticated sets (actually its sort of forcing you to go for a post paid where you will get a 32 K SIM ). So, if you are a prepaid customer, then can you try some one's post paid vodafone SIM and let us know?
Sorry! Duplicate post.
Yes 16 K SIM might be an issue because 16 K Airtel SIM is also creating problems like call drops, people call u but u dont get a notification etc.
I read the same on HTC touch orkut forum.
same prob here
dear friends,
i have also faced same problem, but a little differently.
I am a idea, punjab (formerly SPICE) customer. while roaming in ghaziabad / kale khan/ okhla I found that my phone lost network. it kept on searching on and on.i tried hard and soft resets also. if i did it manually, it wont register, and by any means it gets registered to a network, then 100% sure, call wont make. two sims showed this problem, one- idea and vodafone. but the problem was found while roaming only. i didnt report this in forum as i didnt take it seriously. but seeing this post, i decided to report it to forum so that it can be rectified. its just a feedback, not a complaint.
To Addicted2xda,
I am using a Vodafone Postpaid SIM. All the Vodafone SIMs i tried were post paid SIMs. At Vodafone Care, the guys there tried with a dummy SIM. The problem persisted for all SIMs.
This is really giving me sleepless nights.
Any way i can delete all the data on the phone including all ROMs, like bring it to a pristine state and then start with HSPL and flash a new ROM?? Maybe this may correct the problem - Just shooting in the dark.
To Mehra, Thanks for your feedback.
To HTCP3400,
I had a HTC STock WM5 ROM provided by Vukile. I tried it also. But the stock ROM didnt change the Radio ROM version and the problem existed with it too.
Cheers!
Guys, do you feel this could happen because of the SPL change? I dont know whether SPL is responsibile for sim activities or not, bu I will definately search for it. Apart from that, there is nothing we have changed in the phone. I dont know, but these kind of things never happened with me. Ya one or two times, my phone lost network at some places and keep searching for it even though other phones were working fine, but on soft reset or just turning the radio on and off from comm manager worked everytime. Anyways, lets see waht can be done.

the problem has nothing to do with ur OS. Its linked with the Radio ROM.
Try diff versions of the Radio ROM which would go well with your network. For instance 3.21.90 rom solves the call drop issue on chennai airtel prepaid to an extent. So you ave gotta experiment with diff versions of radio rom n freeze on the one which would be better for ur network.
Hey vaibhav, can you post the Radio Roms that you have got. That would be good in case when one of us changes his network and gets this problem. Coz I searched for them but couldn''t find em anywhere.
hi all
please i have problem ,the is not network in my phone (no signal)

1. Has this situation been occuring since the beginning? I mean , have you ever connected to the network?
2. Is your phone simlocked? If not , I'd suggest you to check if another sim card (preferably another company) works properly. If works , try changing the sim card first.
No Network
Hi,
Im also struggling with the same problem, its most frustrating being without the fundamental function of a mobile phone. Im on O2. It all started when 2.1 updated on my X10, since then my phone doesnt connect to O2 network.
Ive tried removing the sim, cleaning etc. then putting back in.
Tried swapping my sim with a friend (same network), no problem with the sim.
Just tried re-booting my phone (re-updating), no joy.
The last resort i guess before sending it in to O2 is to throw out of the window?
Any ideas?
Thanks
p.s. new HD camera does nothing but 'force close'.
thx for replay
my phone unlocked n and am try another simcard with another company its woks n am check my sim card in another phone its not work
first am got update (change region nomber method) befor 4 days ago n its work with me after update without problem but yesterday am not there is no network
i feel like my sim card banned from virign network so i don't know where is the problem in my sime card or in virgin network but am not feel i have problem in my phone coz its work with another sim card n my sim not work in another phone.

I remember somebody had problems with new iPhone and old original ATT SIM-cards. ATT just gave a new SIM-card - it was a kind of incompability. Maybe you should go to Virgin tech guys and ask them to fix the problem.
I have strange thing with my phone when it was locked - I used old proxy-SIM and it worked fine with 1.6, but after I flashed it up to 2.1 it worked around 16 hours and eventually told me that there is no service - just like yours. Nobody had similar experience, but look like strange things are possible with those really smart phones. After unlocking - no problems for now.

me too i think i have problem with my sim card, am already contacted the service clients but not solution till now !!!!!
i think after update, x10 will made variation of m-voltage which supported to sim cards, so directly burned( if the variation of voltage related with used area of sim-cards ,that's depends on our operators)

I don't think, the X10 can damage SIM-card since SE always targets world market and takes in attention any regional differences. Virgin is not a real carrier, it is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) and uses Orange network as an underlying carrier. The last resort is to claim that you lost you phone (with the SIM card, of course) and ask for replacement. They can charge you (I used to pay $25 for T-Mobile USA in the nearest dealer shop, but didn't do any research since I needed the phone badly).
There is another possibility - as I know, ATT automatically changes the plan for their subscribers to a data-plan that is obviously more expensive as they recognize the new phone as a smartphone. It is weird practice, but see - it is possible, so be sure what's going on with your carrier.
please help me with network problem
i was trying different roms to flash, it was not good enough for me after with recovery i restore my backup original rom but no network, no signal, the sam problem with other roms, i changed sim cards as well no signal, when i make phone call there is a message ( CALL NOT SENT, PLEASE DIAL AN EMERGENCY NUMBER)

Hey guys,
i have the atrix 4g on which i used a simunlock code, so that i coudl put in my sim card from a european carrier, that works great, but the thing is the WiFi stopped working, it just went into a scanning/connecting loop and than it disconnects.
So i factory restored it and figuered out that s soon as i put in a working sim card (one that has cellular reception), the WiFi starts to behave like that and to get it to work i have to factory restore again without a sim card or with a nonworking sim card.
So i tried the motorola support and they said ye hardware issue, send in the phone, my problem however is im in europe right now and i cant really send or get the phone to motorola USA and they totally refuse to send it to an address outside of the US. However im 100% sure its a software issue (both things work for itself, and the thing that even removing the sim card doesnt restore the wifi funcionality makes me think there is some software issue).
So please guys if anyone has an idea how i could fix that i would be really greatful. Btw i tried some of the apps from the market to "fix" wifi (fxr, wififix etc). Fxr said it fixed the wifi bit it still wouldnt connect, the other apps just had the same issue as the stock wireless manager.
Thanks for your time
Did.you use software to unlock it or just a code?

I have the exact same problem.
My phone is unlocked and can make calls, but WiFi disconnects me almost immediately. The phone also thinks my prepaid sim has H+ connectivity.
When I go back to my AT&T SIM, I have to do a reboot or 2 to get it cleared up, and then WiFi works again.
oh, i see that, i guess its some sort of ATT measure to block nonATT SIM cards, eventho the phone gets simunlock code. But the funny thing is there are a lot of people for whom it all works (like the guys in the unlock thread, using it in canada without a hitch), so im really wondering if this is not just a software glitch (i hope it is and gets fixed witht he 2.3 update..), otherwise my only hope are the devs here to crack wide open the bootloader and put some custom roms on it =/ really a great phone, but all this ATT software crap makes it feel like its an Iphone ...
But uhm still, anyone has any ideas how to try to fix this problem before the updates? =/

i also have a friend in saudi arabia who got the unlock code and the wifi is working fine.
only 2 people reported this so far. i guess it could be a hardware problem ? because the other user beside you have this problem even without sim installed " or that what i understood from him "
you can check the other thread too. maybe someone could post something usefull.
hmm i see, where did you find that thread, i was sort of searching for ages and didnt find any issues like that =/
Ye i mean i have this problem without a sim aswell if i dont factory restore the phone, after i do that without a sim card however the WiFi works great...
so i am kind of reluctant to believe it being a hardware issue due to this, sort of software specific issue (at least i think if it would be hardware related, the wifi would start working as soon as i go to airplane mode/take out the sim and a factory reset wouldnt be necessary), or do you think that my theory is rather flawed in thinking that?
and ye the problem is im in europe now and as the reps at motorola support told me, i would have to send the phone to the US for warranty and they would only send it back to an address within the US =/ i will try my luck with the german and uk support site, to see if they could do something for me.
thanks for your time guys tho
hey guys what do you think if i would use this code:
* 2767 * 3855 #
Think before you give this code. This code is used for formatting the original manufacturer. This will delete all files and settings, including internal memory storage. This will also reinstall the phone’s firmware.
To restore it to manufacturer (will it request an unlock code again after that?) cuz i have 2 codes to unlock but the first one worked, so maybe if i woudl try it with the second one than?
I just unlock my atrix with the code from cellunlock, works great and wifi is fine as well. Would like to know where u get the code, and how it turns out if u try reset to default using the combo. Pls update. Ths

I'm having the same issue of not being able to connect to WiFi.
I bought the phone in Las Vegas with an AT&T - pay as you go (no contract).
I bought an unlock code from SwiftUnlocks, and used my Rogers SIM, which appeared to work. I then rooted the phone.
Using the Rogers network, I've been unable to use any sort of data. Phone calls and texts work fine. Then I noticed that my WiFi was not working properly. It would try to obtain an IP address, but couldn't connect. After several reboots, I got the phone to connect to WiFi for a few minutes.
I just did a factory reset, now I'm unable to connect to any network or WiFi to login with MotorBlur, so I can't really use the phone now.
I'm quite frustrated and not sure what else I can do.
Update - after putting the original AT&T SIM card in, and rebooting several times, the WIFI started working again.
I'm still unable to get Data working over the Rogers network in Canada.

i am getting my phone in few hours, then i am going to order from cellunlock a code and wait for 2 days to get the lock. unless someone has a spare code he can pm me i would be thankful.
the code is IMEI specific, cant give oyujust spare codes
secondly, to get wifi to work you have to remove your sim card, put in the att or a nonworking sim card and do factory reset, than wifi will work. and you can load all the stuff via wifi, and than just put in your working sim and use the phone as a phone +3g data (the 3g data works great for me to be honest)
oh i got my code from swiftunlock but i dont think that matters, they all get it from teh same provider im pretty sure.
and if anyone si wondering t he sbf update did NOT fix my wifi problem. i ahve tried several wifi fix programs and neither worked aswell, the fxr wifi did some stuff that the phone now sees the networks but still cant connect.
this is to update everyone that i got the phone. had an issue about the screen doing lots of flickering. contacted amazon and sent it back.
in the whole process so far i lost around 60$ between importing and exporting the phone. all in all. i will stick with my iphone 4 for now. its a good phone.
but i cant take this sadness all over again if i imported another phone with an issue with it as well. i am too OCD for my own good.
so true what you say, tho im coming form a nokia 6220 classic, a bit older than the iphone 4
Hey GUYS...

Please if you found solution reply here, but read at least first post before.
1. Does AT&T SIM reactivate WiFi, after other operator SIM used? - Yes (in my case), but you may need to reboot (soft) 2-3 times.
2. Does Motorola Update 1.57 solve the WiFi problem? - NOT IT DOES NOT.
3. Why part of unlocked phones have WiFi problem and others not? - Open question, as it is NOT a hardware failure, it is somehow related to unlocking process.
4. Is there any solution at all? - Honorable member crnkoj is developing the solution in this thread
IMHO WiFi related issue currently deserves sticky. Also it would be perfect to have one stop FAQ for WiFi related issues.
Im using an unlocked atrix n the wifi is working fine...
You in the lucky group. Mine is unlocked and none of the many potential solutions get me on wifi (short of tossing a broken sim in, which is a pain...)

1. Apparently people who have one, reported it reactivates wifi after a few reboots, otherwise you have to put in a broken sim and do a factory restore to get it to work
2. It does NOT (not the leaked 1.5.2, not the leaked 1.2.6 and not the prerelase 1.5.7)
3. i think it has something to do with a config file or an app that blocks it (altho im leaning toward a config file that gets from the carrier some info and not really blocks but more like a bug disables wifi, because of some conflict)
4. you can use your phone with sim card and 3g/4g data, while preinstalling everything before on wifi, or just use it a a small wifi only "tablet". I am unfortunately not that good with android/linux to figure it out on my own (i sort of got the phone into a boot loop 3 times now, trying to delete apps/ change config files in the /system dir). One of the forum/irc users is nice and tries helping me , but he doesnt have the phone himself so, hard thing ...
5. Hopefully the released source codes will help, doing a semi custom rom without the att bloatware, which could probably fix the issue.
What about the new update that was just released does that fix the problem?
It seems up to now there is no solution for wifi problem. Several reboots doesn't work for me. Please respond if someone was able to succeed.
BMW, maybe read the 2nd point of my above post, no update fixes it.

I thought the new update started with a 4 but now I figured it out sorry.
It was big buzz week ago on broken wifi on unlocked AT&T phones. Now I can't find even the thread on that. Did you people find solution?
I have upgraded to 1.57 and it is definitely not a solution.
I tried hard reset with non-working card and wifi on hardware level works perfect. As soon as I've put working SIM in, it stopped and even reversing to non-working sim doesn't help. hard resetting every time is not a solution.
Still waiting for final solution.
I unlocked my Atrix in Australia. I shall walk you though my steps to see if you can pick out anything specific. I was very worried about the WiFi issue so i took many precautions.
I bought the code from Cellunlock.net - using the android50 code to bring it to $20
in the meantime I used an old, inactive SIM in the phone and on boot I would just hit dismiss on the network unlock screen and run the phone on WiFi on my home wireless. (WPA2 key)
When my unlock code arrived (2 days) I went to the wireless settings, DELETED my wireless network from being saved.
TURNED OFF WiFi entirely
Turned phone off properly and replaced the SIM card with my active Vodafone AU SIM
on the network unlock screen, I used the first code out of the two they provided and it was accepted
went back and re-added my wifi network, and doneeee all is working well.. hope this helps someone somewhere.
Thanks a lot DarkRyoushii
Problem is that I received my Atrix already unlocked. I contacted Cellunlock.net if it is possible to unlock it second time, but they responded it is impossible.
What gives me hope, Motorola has to sell originally unlocked phones and their ROM should be free of this AT&T crap. So using that ROM supposedly will help.
I have an AT&T Atrix and the unlock code didn't adversely affect my Wifi. I've actually never had an Android that locked onto Wifi as well as my Atrix. It's tight as hell. Never, ever drops!!
I don't see the correlation between the two but maybe there is some weird quirk. Not denying anyone though. I just wonder what the heck Motorola did to the framework to cause that to happen. Weird.. hope it gets patched up too.
I hope this gets fixed soon. I have an atrix with the sim unlocked. I cant connect to wifi, and I cant get passed the motoblur to set debugging and root the phone. This is very frustrating. I'm in qatar so I dont have a att sim, nor do I have a broken sim either. I guess I have a $600 dollar paperweight.
mine is perfect

Don't put any sim in it at all then turn it on. You should be able to connect to wifi that way and get past the setup.
I don't have an atrix yet but I heard that this works. Goodluck.

Did you try my solution it should work. ( it was right above your comment)

Your wifi wont be fixed after you put a sim in but it should get you past the motoblur sign up.

Guys, if you have 3g (or in fact any) data available on your sim its not a problem. When the motoblur setup tips up, click the settings hard button (the one to the left) choose "configure apn" (or something similar), put in the data you get from your carrier and bam, you should be able to finish the setup.
Wargame1 I bought several sims at eBay and is planning to check with them. As soon as they work, I'll let you know and even send you one from Baghdad.
Wifi problem is not solved yet. When Motorola is going to start selling originally unlocked versions? Their rom should help.

just try it with mobile data man, youll be able to activate motoblur...
and erm, you probably wont be able to install the unlocked rom on the att atrix, sicne you cant change the att/bell roms on the phones either .... maybe just a /system reinstall, like the Gingerblur/Gladiatrix mods
Well I got hold of my hTC One X+ and imported it directly from Clove.co.uk to Pakistan. I got the phone yesterday i.e. November 4, 2012. Picked my home wifi signal downstairs (my wifi router is upstairs). Worked fine, synced everything. I operated the phone initially without the SIM card. I got the SIM card cut (for conversion) to micro, and the phone worked fine.
Then I had two issues:
1. Suddenly all the signals from my service provider (mobilink) vanished. A reboot, turn off and restart and SIM re-insertion helped.
2. my wifi is disappeared, cannot connect to any wifi signal (cant connect to my HTC desire hotspot) or cant leech neighbors open wifis.
Have read the forums. didnt dared try to upload the custom rom / radio of one-x to this set.
so thats a hands-on review in the first few hours of hTC One X+.... is there any one who have the device and had the same issues? Posted hTC support too. Will be contacting clove.co.uk for support too?
factory resetted the phone... again picked my home connection from the start, but again showing disconnected wifi after full configuration is done. No wifi connections shown? probably a software issue?
No problem with WiFi or anything. All works flawlessly here

I have narrowed down the issue to my SIM card. After one factory reset, I didn't insert my SIM card module, and went ahead with the settings. The phone till the end showed the all the available networks around me. The moment I inserted my SIM card module, the wifi networks just disappear and wont come back.
Just got my One X+
No wifi problems, full bars

Try Wifi analyzer and see if the channels you are useing on your wifi are overcrowded maybe.
Standard is the same around the globe for wifi afaik.

Well I will switch the wifi network standard to UK, as the set was purchased from UK. However the issue is whenever I insert the SIM card of cell operator. The wifi goes dead, as i cant see any network, and wifi going for interrupted scanning. though the network is available, and until and unless i go for factory reset, the wifi doesnt come back. I believe its region locking issue with wifi, i guess i have to wait till i get a proper WWE based RUU for One-X+
suggestions welcome. Although I have a return ticket open from the supplier.
HTC One X+ Wifi issues on sim insertion
I bought my HTC One X+ a couple of days ago from the UAE. But for some reason I can't get the wifi to work with a pakistani service provider (ufone). When I reset the phone and inserted a vodafone sim instead which had roaming activated, the Wifi worked fine.
I have found a couple of solutions but they both involve rooting my phone. Wouldnt that leave my warranty void? I want to be on the safe side, and so am cautious about rooting it. Are there any alternative solutions? Would claiming my warranty help?

Did you get you problem solved? If yes, how
I've fix it by work around
I've got my hox+ from UK, and currently operated in Egypt (vodafone), I was having wifi problem, it's only connected for 2-3 minutes then no connectivity in the meanwhile it shows it's connected to the wifi, I did a factory reset then I've skipped account registration once it's started, e.g google account, facebook account and so, then I've added one by one from the accounts in the settings, and the wifi is working fine now
Thanks Yasser,
Did you leave it connected to wifi after factory reset, or you didn't add wifi till the time you had connected your google accounts. A detail step by step work around will be appreciated.
