Take out SIM. Go to bootloader (hold power while soft-resetting), then press calendar button after "WAIT" disappears. Select GSM 900/1800. Insert SIM again (close cover well). soft-reset.
Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately "I receive GSM turn ON fail !!"
No matter which option I select...
When I go into Device information, there is no info regarding Radio version or protocol - used to be info there before...
The last thing I did before this happened was making a call, and the next thing when I picked it up there is no phone any longer...
SO, what would next step be? Can I reload the phone software somehow?
I have the exact same problem
NO RADIO
TRIED TO BOOTLOADER AND GET A GSM ERROR
I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED.
HELP, WHO CAN FIX THIS?
THANKS,
FERNANDO
Problem Solved!
Dont ask how - but the phone went completely out of charge as I left it for dead a few days.
When I plugged the charger in, just to check my calender, it started to charge and Radio was back again...
Amazing product...
Well, I guess you got lucky!!! I am happy for you. So you left it for dead:
a) how many days?
b) sim card in or out?
Thanks,
Fernando
There was a sim card in
I think about two days.
(The Qtek was turning on/off itself, blinking with backgroud light now and then until it went completely dead. I of course lost all data etc. bit thats OK
Why not try to remove the battery in the unit? To really reset it...
Hi:
I did it. Cracked it open, took the battery out. Put it all back together, and still have the same problem. This is a tough one to solve.
Any other ideas?

Hi all, I have an O2 XDA 64meg, running 3.16.32 and radio 4.20, the problem I am having is the XDA will not enable the phone, if i do many soft resets it still wont work, and it takes about 1 and a half minutes to actually boot into windows, and then it is very slow, the phone is not available, so i went into Wallaby bootloader ver 5.15 and it says WAIT then after a few secs its says GSM ERROR, i have done a master reset and this did not work either, is there a fix for this or any other info I need to resolve this prob, any help is most appreciated, Thanks, DoZZa
Call your network and ask them about your SIM - check the voltage, the profile, so and and so forth, that's likely the cause. If they confirm a new SIM is required then the people you signed a contract with - not necessarily your network - should get a new one to you.
If that does not work then the unit is knackered.
I looked all over these forums for evidence of this problem, apologies if the solution is here and I'm asking a redundant questions!
Just got an XDA II from a friend and have 2 problems:
:arrow: 1) On a hard reset or simply after removing the battery, I just get the O2 splash screen for about 15 minutes (no button presses or screen taps will affect it), then poof, stuff starts installing and suddenly I have a working PDA.
:arrow: 2) If I put my SIM card in the device, this "poof" never happens, the device stays on the splash screen indefinitely. I've used XDA Unlock which as told me that the device is ALREADY unlocked.
Thoughts? Do I need to install a new ROM or am I simply missing something else? I'd love to be able to use this with ATT here in the US if possible.
Device status is:
ROM: 1.52.OOWWE
Date: 10/23/03
RADIO: 1.05.13
PROTO: 1337.13
EXTROM: 1.03.27
Thanks!
Did this start happening before you used xdaunlock. That program is for the xda1, the unlock for xda2 is a totally different application, when you run the xda2 unlock it gives you the sid number to enter when you put in a sim from a different provider. I think your phone is still locked and it is probably the sim that is hanging it. You need this.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/xda2unlock
I did use xda2unlock
Oops, I should have been clearer, this WAS the application I used (It's very clear that it's for unlocking the 2, not the 1). It "worked" in terms of talking to the device, but no results given that it figured it had no work to do.
Is my other other option to unlock this to go to O2?
...and no, the behavior has been consistent...
...before and after using the ap. The other thing the Sim card seems to do is lock the device up, whereas without it the device EVENTUALLY unlocks and lets you use the PDA features. Rather annoying.
Sounds like a faulty unit to me, no way should you be waiting that long for a boot, yes the sim seems to make it worse but its bad to begin with, it should be sent for repair I think. I am sure the xda2 does some hardware checks on boot and maybe its having a hard time getting past one of them, do you have an sd card inserted in the slot? And how does it function once it gets past boot? Does it survive a soft reset ok? Are there any error messages when it begins its install procedure?
It's WORKING!!! It's WORKING!
I'm not sure whether this is SUPPOSED to be a problem or not, but LOCKING the Sim card door down causes this unit to go into this wierd state I've been experiencing...just letting the batttery press it down in place (but not securing it by pulling that little tan lever to the left) makes ALL the difference.
HOW ODD! Or did I miss something that should have told me that this would screw things up?
The phone indeed was already unlocked, picked up my network beautifully. Thanks for your input!
Suddenly this morning my GSM died. No, it actually didn't die. When I go to phone settings/network and choose manual, it searches and finds all networks in my region, but then I choose the network my SIM belongs to and the phone says it cannot register on the network. I tried flashing a new radio, stripped ATT radio, new ROM etc. always the same problem. By the way the green flashing led is not working as well. When the phone initially boots, the GSM version is displayed correctly.
So, did anybody had a similar problem before?
somehow it is working back now after over 36 hours of death. I left it in airplane mode through the night and replaced the battery before going to sleep (I had a spare). Now it is functional. I don't know what the problem was, but may be the battery. I will try it with the other battery later and let you know.
Hi there.
I need help with my Hero.
Two weeks ago it got water damaged. I dried it out, and got it all working again (this surprised me), but then on Thursday it stopped connecting to my network (T-Mob UK), giving a Your SIM does not allow connections to this network error.
Now, the radio works as far as I can tell - I can connect to Wi-Fi fine, and when I go to chose your network section it shows me T-Mob, Orange, O2 and Vodafone, so I think the GSM etc. radios are working.
I've tried putting it in my old SE handset, but that has a ****ed Radio, so not got anything conclusive. But it has received messages, so I'm not sure if it is the sim directly at fault.
I've also tried to use an O2 sim in the hero (unlocked) to no luck.
So I would guess its something wrong with the connection between the sim slot, and the sim, or between the slot and the main-board.
But is there anything I can do to test this? Any recommendations for repairs?
Thanks

If it is definitely the phone and not the Sim, you would be best off getting it professionally acid bathed or what ever a phone shop suggests, the back street unlocking ones would normally do it for £15 and that should sort any oxidized solder joints out that could be causing the issue.
If you want to do it your self then take all the screen and bits off your self, lay the main board in ethanol for 12 hours then let it drip dry, give it a gentle buff with a cotton bud and re try! This is just a suggestion so don't go blaming me when you phone explodes!!
Dear all,
I have a Legend with S-ON (1.01), and I used fake-flash to change ROMs. The mobile phone has been fine with a custom ROM for more than 3 months now.
Suddenly, 3 days ago, the phone rebooted while browsing settings and when it came back on, the device could not recognize the SIM card or connect to the network and get a signal.
The problem is weird because the device (a) can find networks if I search for them, (b) can make emergency calls, (c) connects normally to both wi-fi and the SIM 3G internet but does not:
- get signal (always zero lines)
- recognize the sim card (always asks me to rescan for new contacts, and the process fails)
I tried wiping everything, I tried reflashing, I tried flashing another ROM. The problem persists.
Would flashing a new RADIO potentially help? It is the only thing I have not tried.
I am really at a loss here. The device did not fall down, or had a knock or any other user damage. The problem started suddenly and i can'f find a way out of it.
Anyone who manages to find me a solution gets a paypal beer
PS: Something important is that the phone DOES know that SIM card is there, and DOES partially recognize it: I am asked to put my SIM card PIN, which is accepted correctly.
Hey
What I'd do:
1.)Try the SIM in another device - could be a SIM problem...
2.) As you are 1.01, there is no risk in Warranty repair, so unroot and send back to shop if the sim proves OK in another device..
Probably a stupid suggestion but i had at one point no service when my battery cover was not on...
When i was rooting mine, i kept the battery cover off because i was stuck so many times in the middle of running step 1... so never bothered putting the battery cover on...
after i succeeded in rooting, i still saw no service... but as soon as i put the battery cover on , i was able to pick up the network
@QkSi1ver: The Legend's antenna is located in the battery cover, which is why you would have had no reception with it removed.

Which could be the reason for the SIM problems : if it is not set correctly it can't communicate proper with the mobile , that's why it asks for searching for contacts ( I had a similar problem a few months ago )
no network signal!

that just did the trick, uber cool! and yet it sucks, because i wasted most of my sunday and half of today to solve this, wondering why nobody even mentioned connection probs.
maan, i´m tired, i´m going to bed!
