Hi,
I have an AT&T Tilt and I am trying to make it work here in Brazil, with Claro provider.
I did the SIM unlock, SUPERCID and Unlocked security, BUT I still can't get any service. I also tried several ROMs and RADIO combinations.
My phone keeps searching for network and don't find anything.
I already set the band mode to GSM (which is the band type here where I live) and still can't get it working.
Anyone have an idea about what can be wrong?
Thanks in advance!
You try the network configuration wizard? You can poll the device to make sure the SIM is indeed unlocked too. Also, make sure the radio you select is compatible with your rom choice.

It could be the frequency band selected for the GSM network. I don't think it's a SIM problem, since that usually comes up with an 'Incorrect SIM card' message, when it's not unlocked.
There are two bands for GMS, and I'm not exactly sure how you would select which one to use, since I don't see the option under Phone (green button)/Menu/Options. Another phone I had had a selection screen available where you could specifically select which band to use.

Hi,
my ROM is 1.82.721.1 WWE and RADIO is 1.27.14.09. I think there isn't any incompability on both.
I already tried to select the GSM bands manually. No success.
I also disabled HSDPA to prevent any issue.
I forgot to mention that the network wizard does not have an option for chosing Brazil as country.
Additionally, every time I turn the phone on appears the following message:
YOUR CURRENT OPERATOR (72402) IS NOT SUPPORTED. YOU SHOULD OBTAIN AN UPDATE FROM YOUR DEVICE VENDOR.
Another info: I am using Windows Mobile 6.0.
Looking here, I see that the carriers using Claro Name use GSM1800 (and 3G850) which are supported by the tilt.
I wonder if the problem is that the IMEI number needs to be registered with the carrier? I know some european countries (like turkey) require foriegn IMEI numbers to be registered before they will work.

Good catch, not only is that "an" at&t Radio but it is quite specifically "the" at&t Radio that only works with the at&t 1.6x.xxx Roms.
Although the OP did state they have used other Radios & Rom.

So, which combination would fit?
I don't need any at&t program, so the ROM would be e HTC.
Well, firstly, you must be getting a signal in order to get the operator MCC-MNC, so that part's out of the way.
Secondly, the error seems to originate with the "Network Wizard" program which handles auto-setup. Personally, I don't cook this program into my ROM's as I prefer to cook the settings right in and avoid the added bulk of that program.
Thirdly, a google search brings this up: http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cach...TED&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us&client=firefox-a
Lastly, it almost seems as if the Network Wizard is stopping you from using the network due to not having configuration settings for it? That's pretty whacked out.

I flashed the following: HTC 1.56.405.5 ROM and 1.27.12.11 RADIO (they come in a pack, so must be compatible).
There isn't the Network Wizard anymore.
Now I have Connection Setup and the message does not come when I turn on the phone, but the problem remains, no network.
There is 2 questions I wanted to make and can be the source of the problem:
1- Can I flash HTC roms in a AT&T Tilt?
2- Does make any difference choosing a country and operator at Network Wizard or Connection Setup? The phone does not work if I ignore it?

Not to be funny, but go to the CommManager and see if the Phone is turned on
I flashed several ROMz and the default in the CommManager was Phone off...it had me going for about 15 minutes the 1st time and 10 minutes the 2nd time.
If your Rom-Radio combination is correct...again, make sure the phone is on in the CommManager.

Hi..
I'm from Brazil and my Kaiser has no problems connecting to my network (TIM).
Afaik it shouldn't have any problems with Claro; take a look: http://www.pdabr.com/viewtopic.php?p=22232&sid=e678102e6b1f73d179dace0ec6c57793
As you see, their tytnII works fine with claro (they are trying to configure gprs)

I'm not sure if the IMEI registration for foreign sims is correct... I've taken my Kaiser (also Hermes) to Brazil and Turkey and they worked fine. I did have problems in Brazil with auto network selection but my phones worked fine with TIM and Claro when manually selected.
On a note with the IMEI - did you buy the phone new or used (ebay, small dark shop, man on a street corner etc). If it is used then there is a possibility that it's stolen and the IMEI is barred - you can check this by calling your service provider.

Do you guys both have the TILT or HTC version of the Kaiser? Mine is HTC branded and worked fine in Brazil.
Did you buy your phones new and in Brazil? If so then you should just get your supplier to replace them. If they are used then there is a chance that they are stolen and the IMEI is barred. If you got them overseas there may be some carrier lock installed (I seem to remember something like this with the X01HT versions of the Hermes).
Sorry I can't help out on this but maybe by bumping this thread someone else can help.
It may help if you give some more info about your phones such as:
ROM version
Radio version
HardSPL yes/no
Information from bootloader screen
Does your device info IMEI number match the one on the sticker?
This might help the technical gurus spot a solution.
Hello ACH2,
Yes, we 3 are having the TILT phones from AT&T.
For me, it was working fine for a month, and suddenly one fine morning it stopped working.
Before that i had flashed couple of dutty's roms and no problems at all... it all happened suddenly!
About the rom and radio versions, i think that wouldn't make a difference, as i have gone thru all the roms and radios here and nothing helps.
I have tried the WM6.1 roms with respective radios, and also the WM6.0 roms with their respective radios.
This is totally a strange problem that has started erupting in the AT&T Tilts all of a sudden!
I request the mods to make this sticky, so that more people can report their problems here in this single thread, unlike the 3 threads floating now for the same problem.
Thanks.
Hi all,,
Again asking for some solution to this problem... please guys let us know if anything can be done of our phones...
Thanks a lot.
I had the same problem and here' show to fix it.
Hi,
I had the same problem and tried everything.. So I contacted HTC and mailed in and they fix it for free.. They said the main board wasn't working propraly so they replace it for free. KNow I have my phone and it works good. Just go to HTC.com and contact them and make sure you tell them that you bough it from an att store.

Hi, I am sort of new here but I know enough to get around on what I need to do, but I am at a stand still...
I bought a US Cellular Touch Pro 2 from Ebay which was "unlocked" supposedly, but my ATT phone card does nothing in it, I can get digital roaming but ATT will not work on the phone.
So my question is, what are the needed steps in order to get my Touch Pro 2 to get working on the ATT network. As far as I know the Security is not unlocked.
Thanks ahead of time,
if you need any other information please ask =D
-Cyanide
Note: I bought an unlock code from Ebay earlier, but since it says its unlocked I cant use the code, unless there is another way to use that code.
if im right and some1 here can correct me if im not. i think u have to sim unlock it for it to work.
My US Cell TP2 came SIM unlocked
Same as above, my us cell tp2 came sim unlocked also
I just got one from ebay, and I had to security unlock it and install appropriate radio to get it working on at&t
Will any of the GSM labeled AT&T work or is there one that's best?

yes it says 'your phone is sim unlocked' in the security tab but my ATT cards are not working
someone mentioned adding software or something. can someone please show me how to do this asap. we kinda counted on having the phones today.
i bought a us cellular on ebay as well. had to security unlock it. Got code from this site and then bought from olipro. this should help.

the first one you have to but then the second link you need to watch to get the imei number before you buy unlock stuff. hope this helps. trin to give back what i learned.
There are two different kinds of SIM Unlocks
There is the stock SIM unlock which allows you to use the sim card for other countries. You click on settings, and sim management and it says the sim is unlocked. However, that does not mean that you can use it with ATT or TMobile here in the united states. Reboot your phone and you will most likely see that your radio says something like 2.10.00WF The WF is what is screwin you over with ATT. You need to pay for and use the SIM unlock from Olipro, (there are tons of links already for it.) and unlock the phone. Then put a WU radio on it. I find that the best one that works for USCC is the 1.96.10WU Radio. It has the least amount of DATA crashes. Hope that helps ya out a bit.

weird. olinex recomended the 2.32.00wu radio over all the others. but seeing as how my data connection never wants to stay open, maybe i will give that one a try.
Ok so i got the paid unlocking tool and ran it. it appears to have worked.
I then went to this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578659
and installed both the us cellular and sprint (the first and fourth link).
was that a mistake?
Anyway it doesnt say att when i put in a non active sim card.
is it still ready to use? also when i install the radios should it be in global or gsm mode or does it matter?

Why don't you go ahead buy a CDMA TP2 phone and flash a GSM radio or ROM, go ahead. And make someone record your face and the device. Let's see how you enjoy turning a working phone into a black death piece of hardware that will not respond or do anything.
You better delete your post before someone that doesn't know any better follow your misguided advice and brick their phone!
@DaveNavy,
Read up a bit on this device before advising people. Flashing a GSM rom on a native CDMA device (RhodiumW) is the best and fastest way to end up with a brick. Please make sure about these things before you post anything like this again.
@ all,
Please stop the flaming right here.

How long did it take after you paid to get the download link?
Works great using windows 7. I am running Att with data smooth now.
Hello All,
I hope someone can help me with this.
I have a TP2 (Sprint) and I need to use it for At&t.
The first thing I did was unlock the device using RhodiumWUnlocker from Olipro (and made my donation ).
I did all steps, and everything went fine. No problems. And it detected AT&T
Then I flashed the ROM with EnergyROM Leo Manila 2.5 WM6.5 v 16Feb2010, By NRGZ28. (File: Energy.RHOD500.23529.Leo_MaxManila.16.Feb.2010.rar) - Still all well, no problems.
Then it went back to stock and could not detect AT&T. So I flashed the Radio Version: 4.49.25.91 from this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939.
Now I cannot turn on my phone at all - No "touchpro2" screen, no bootloader, nothing at all. The phone doesn't react to any combinations of buttons to turn on or load up bootloader. When I connect the phone to the computer (Vista by the way) the charging orange light comes on for about 3 minutes then goes off. Then I press the power button and the light comes back on, but nothing else happens to the phone.
Please help!!! Let me know what's wrong and how I can fix it, please!!! I'll make another donation to fix it.
Thanks!
I'm no expert but it sounds like you may have flashed a CDMA Rhodium with GSM firmware. I had a quick look and it seems the Sprint Rhodium is CDMA, you should have a look at the CDMA Rhodium forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517
I'm not totally sure of the GSM / CDMA thing because I'm not in the U.S. it's not something I need to worry about.
Good luck dude
Yeah the more I look at this, the more I am convinced this is what has happened.
You used CDMA HardSPL (RhodiumWUnlocker)
Then flashed a CDMA ROM (Energy.RHOD500 ...)
but your mistake was to flash a GSM Radio ROM (I followed the URL you gave and up popped the GSM Radio ROM thread)
I don't know if this is recoverable but searching the CDMA forum would be a good start. You can't be the first person this has happened to.
Thanks for the response, but I am certain I flashed the correct ROM.
*I went to the wingster website
*I selected CDMA ROM's
*Clicked on EnergyROM Leo
*Clicked on Download - Hotfile.com
*Selected this ROM: Energy.RHOD500.23529.Leo_MaxManila.16.Feb.2010.rar
When I flashed this ROM, the phone loaded up without any issues. The only problem was that I could not make calls because it could not detect the AT&T SIM card. So I flashed the radio shown on the post from xda, and the PC said congratulations, everything is complete and good. At this time, the cell phone rebooted and it just never came back on.
Thanks for the help!!
Thanks MadBeef, I will research the CDMA forum.
The Main ROM you flashed was fine. It's the Radio ROM you flashed that killed it, because your phone is CDMA hardware but now it has GSM Radio ROM on it. That's my theory anyway, I'm hoping someone a bit more experienced with CDMA will be able to chime in.
If you can get back into the bootloader somehow, you should be able to flash a CDMA Radio ROM.
I only read the first line of your problem...sprint to at&t...it can never happen. Sprint is cdma which has no sim and at&t is a gsm which has a sim. You better have insurance so you can run over your now "speed bump" and get a new one.

ROM fine.
Radio ROM = BAD.
RHOD400 and RHOD500 are the model numbers for the Sprint and Verizon TP2s respectively. Other carriers also share these model numbers, but those are the big two.
The Radio ROM you flashed however is for the GSM only TP2, not the combo CDMA/GSM TP2 that you have.
Flashing that Radio ROM was a HUGE no-no. Boom.

You should put a little more time into research before jumping in with the flip comments.
1) Sprint does have SIM cards. I've got one in my hand. (No, they're not used in all phones of course, but Sprint does have their own).
2) The Sprint Touch Pro 2 can very well be used on ATT once it is security unlocked and a patched Radio ROM is flashed. To say "it can never happen" is flat out wrong because it's been happening for a few months.
3) The CDMA Touch Pro 2 models (RHOD400 and RHOD500) aren't just CDMA. They are CDMA/GSM/UMTS worldphones, supporting operation in all three modes.
I'm Sorry Gamescan if I did not understand correctly. Does this mean there is no help? There's absolutely nothing I can do to revert this and fix it?
I really appreciate all the help!!
I wanted to reply to Akademik's comment, but I didn't have time. This is not the first phone I flash, but it is the first CDMA/GSM phone. I know this phone is dualmode, else I wouldn't have bought it to use it in AT&T.

Can you connect to it via a mtty terminal?
I don't know if the SD card flash method would work here. If it were my phone I'd try it, but if it's not getting as far as the bootloader I think the chances are slim Maybe while there is no SIM card in it, give the radio ROM less to do?
Found some CDMA radios here:

gamescan, if i said it cant be dont its quite obvious ive done research through trials and also working a phone carrier for 3 years before finding a better job...THIS CANNOT BE DONE. the dual mode in the sprint tp2 is ment for when people travel to europe, they can pop their "european sim" in and be on their merry way. european cell towers accept the frequency of the sprint tp2 and establish a connection. the US towers have "locked out" tmo and att from being used in the sprint tp2. the reason why you found att on connection setup was that your phone was basically saying" yes att is here, but your not connecting". shenriquez i followed the link to the radio you flashed before you got "shut off". you shouldnt have flashed a GSM radio on a SPRINT TP2...you are bricked my dude. you gave your phone a seizure man.

Google mtty (or search for it on here).
Short version it's text based, but it's pretty much the lowest level access that a consumer can get to a HTC device without ripping the sucker open, manually desoldering the flash chip and putting in another.
If you're not getting the tri-color bootloader screen, there is still the possibility of saving it via terminal commands, but it's not straightforward (and depending on what happened it is certainly NOT guaranteed).

Only it can be done.
With the tools mentioned in this here very forum.
Any many people have done it.
Again, you're not doing your research and making claims that are flat out wrong.
1) The Sprint TP2 hardware does support the US GSM frequencies.
2) The Sprint TP2 hardware does not ship with a SIM lock.
3) The Sprint TP2 hardware does ship with the two US GSM frequencies disabled in software.
4) If you pay for the Olinex security unlocker you can easily flash a patched radio ROM which re-enabled the two disabled frequencies.
About the only correct thing said in the post above is that he should not have flashed a radio ROM from a GSM-only TP2 to a CDMA/GSM combo TP2. The two devices do have different hardware so flashing the wrong drivers *IS* a BAD THING(tm).
But, assuming you have paid for the security unlocker, flashing a Sprint TP2 with an updated radio ROM is stupid easy and once you've done that making it work on ATT or TMO in the US requires nothing more than slotting in an active SIM card and switching the phone to GSM mode.
If you don't know the answer to something, please feel free to ASK about it, but don't make unfounded and incorrect statements. When you state an absolute that is false it just spreads misinformation which makes things confusing for other users, especially those new to the device.

But, assuming you have paid for the security unlocker, flashing a Sprint TP2 with an updated radio ROM is stupid easy and once you've done that making it work on ATT or TMO in the US requires nothing more than slotting in an active SIM card and switching the phone to GSM mode.
If you don't know the answer to something, please feel free to ASK about it, but don't make unfounded and incorrect statements. When you state an absolute that is false it just spreads misinformation which makes things confusing for other users, especially those new to the device.

Prove your lame theory. Links that sprint gsm will connect to US towers. Even links in "this very forum". Different frequencies dude.
My two cents -- as I am new, too -- but I ran into a similar situation trying to update the radio on my Verizon TP2 due to 1X issues. My phone is unlocked as I was running Mighty but decided to return to stock (6.1).
Note: my SIM is not unlocked. If I understand correctly, the SIM needs to be unlocked to be able to install a radio from a different carrier, like Sprint.
[As a side note: I think these forums use the term "radio" a little too loosely because the program to unlock the phone to be able to flash unsigned ROMs is also called a "radio" unlocker.]
Back on topic: I flashed my phone with and unlocked radio 2.23.00WU and the result was similar to what happened to your phone: it did not turn on, orange light was on.
I was able to flash stock ROM back onto the phone using the USB cord and the phone is back to normal. Even though it was basically non-responsive except for the orange light.
My phone is in working order after the wrong radio incident.
I hope this helps.

If you believe that you're obviously flat out lying when you make the claim of having worked for a carrier for three years, because no one who worked for a wireless carrier could possibly be this ignorant about how GSM works. It's either that or you're purposely posting false information in a lame attempt to screw with the newbies on this site.
The Sprint TP2 hardware supports all four GSM frequencies - 850, 900, 1800, 1900. You can pull up any spec sheet on the model to see that. This isn't exactly hidden information.
Sprint disables the US frequencies in firmware.
If you are security unlocked you can flash one of the two patched radios in the sticky thread in this forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578659
Then you toss an active SIM card into the phone and turn it on while in the US. Set it to GSM mode and bam, you're on a US tower.
Your claim is the equivalent of running around screaming "The sky is GREEN because I say it is! The sky can't be blue. That's false!"

The phone needs to be security unlocked to flash a different radio. If it is not security unlocked a unsigned radio will cause the boot sequence to fail. Flashing a carrier provided radio will restore the phone to service.
Security Unlocking means setting the phone to SuperCID. It is different than SIM unlocking.
SIM unlocking allows you to use different SIM cards. It does not allow you to flash unsigned radios.
The Olinex unlocker will both security unlock you (SuperCID) and SIM unlock you (if needed).
if device was security unlocked and is detected by pc, most likely it can be recovered by mtty. unlike my case where device was not sec unlocked but its detected by mtty using usb or serial. bad news is it would be very hard to recover, im doing some jtag research first, at least i found the pins but no pinout.

thats for a radio not rom. find the cdma rom that allows you to use a gsm sim. you cant use the cdma rom over att network...and that link you posted, there are no success stories in it, only complaints. you have no idea what you are talking about. you sit there posting false statements and trying to sound smart with your handy thesaurus. stop posting false statements lame.
I have T-Mobile prepaid and live in Illinois. I bought a used cdma Rhodium on eBay. It had generic HTC branding on front had a stock US Cellular rom with Winmobile 6.5 installed and has the 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom. So I guess this is what's called a "worldphone". The phone came sim unlocked. And I put hard-spl on it. I put my sim in and set the phone to gsm and it didn't find my T-Mobile network. So just for the fun of it I flashed a stock Sprint rom from HTCs website on the phone that has Winmobile 6.1 and a 1.96.00WF radio. I set the phone to gsm and my T-Mobile network registered! I can make and receive calls. Am I misunderstanding something or from what I've read on this site is this not supposed to be happening- that only a WU radio should work with gsm in the US, not a WF radio? I don't know what this means but on the phone screen to the far right of the word T-Mobile there is a circle with crosshairs inside, and sometimes has a slash thru it. But the phone works fine.

verizon phones work fine with WF radio. sprint (and I think uscellular) branded phones need the WU radio. if yours has generic HTC on it then it's not a sprint branded phone for sure, because that has "sprint" written on it.
Well that's good to know, thank you. I thought you always had to have a wu radio to use gsm in the US on RhodiumW but I guess not. Incidentally, I tried a uscc wf radio and a later sprint wf radio but neither of them worked. Only the Sprint 1.96.00wf worked for some reason. Thanks again for your reply.

well, that's interesting, if it does say sprint on it, it probably is sprint branded unless someone replaced the mainboard in the phone (or changed the casing on it...same end result).
by the way, the specific radio version you are referring to, is one we've patched to make a "WU" radio out of it. you also mention, that other radios don't work, just this one. this suggests one of two possibilities to me: either you actually have the "WU" radio (check radio version in settings to verify) or you have some rare t-mobile sim card that has an mccmnc that isn't checked by that specific radio and is checked by the other versions.

Yes, the radio I flashed was the WF radio because at first I flashed the stock win6.1 rom from HTC's website and it worked. And then I flashed the stock 6.5 rom and flashed the radio win6.1 uses over it and in sys info is says WF right now. So you're probably right about that particular radio not checking certain sims. I use a prepaid sim that I've had for several years.

The T-Mobile SIM card shouldn't make a difference. It's the radio frequencies that are blocked out by the default Sprint radio, IIRC. Pick your poison, no foreign SIM card that I've tried while in North America will pick up a GSM signal on a Sprint TP2 unless it's been flashed with a WU radio.
The Sprint devices are factory unlocked so they shouldn't even be checking the SIM.
Hey there xdadevs, newbie here. I'll try to keep this as detailed and to the point as possible.
Problem
So I've got a Cincy Bell XT720, and I've gotten it properly SIM unlocked and rooted. I'll go to search for networks, consistently pick up Wind Home, and then attempt to connect to it. I'll select Wind Home, and immediately get a notification that says that "Selected network (WIND Home) unavailable", but it'll continue to try to connect to Wind Home. 1-2 minutes later, I'll get a message saying that "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".
What I've Done to Try and Fix It
- Configure APN settings properly
- Reseat SIM Card
- Load Cincy Bell Stock 2.1/Dexter Froyo 2.2/XDA Special RC1 ROMs
- Attempt everything mentioned in this thread here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974375)
What I think the Problem Is
- Radio/ROM config problem? Can't pinpoint it for the life of me.
- I KNOW it's not a hardware incompatibility problem, if that's a starting point. This is the Milestone XT720 and not the Motoroi, fully capable of supporting the HSDPA 1700/2100 bands that WIND Mobile uses for its 3G networks.
Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated. Right now, my only fallback is this horrid Huawei U1250...it works, but that's like saying that ramen noodles "works" in comparison to a banquet burger with fries. Thanks a ton in advance guys.
Lol, I'm using a CB XT720 on WIND as well, pretty cool. But yeah, mine is working without any issues. Go into a WIND store, show them your issue, and they should be able to replace the sim card. As mentioned in another thread, WIND had some issues with certain sim cards so that may be why your having the connection problems. If that doesn't help, then it's probably something to do with the phone itself.

At least I know that the CB XT720 does work for sure...I can get WIND to check it out (the SIM was ordered back in December or so last year) or even get the phone replaced via Moto warranty if needs be (somehow, still warrantied until March next year). Thanks for the help!
my XT720 is from sigapore and i'm using it on WIND without any issues
using Dexter's froyo ROM
make sure you get the BLACK version of the SIM card, the WHITE SIM cards dies very often
i've replaced both of mines already, they died on their own, both on my Nexus S and XT720
other friends that i've on WIND also had the same problem, with other phones, they also had the WHITE SIM card
just show them the problem, they will change the SIM card for you.
oh! but you need to go to the Corporate WIND stores, not the resellers stores

Alright...I'm pretty sure I have the black one (black w/ white trim), but it wouldn't hurt to get a replacement. This one's been in a bricked G1, another G1 that got caught in a torrential thunderstorm (you can tell I don't have good luck with those things), a Huawei U1719, and a Huawei U1250. It's probably just got some age on it by now...flaky with my U1250 anyhow, random (relatively frequent) disconnecting, wouldn't connect the first couple of times, etc. Thanks again, be sure to let you guys know how it goes. =.=
Meh, still got a problem. Tried another SIM, went over to WIND...no such luck. I was told that although the phone may be SIM unlocked and it can see the networks on the 1700/2100 band, the radio's firmware may be locked to prevent a connection (the employee had a similar problem with another phone for Bell). Is there anyone on here who can hook me up with an unlocked radio or a WIND Mobile ROM that could help with this? O-^
Hmmm, strange because I was able to connect to WIND Home on the stock CB 2.1 ROM, Khals MIUI ROM, and Mz's CM6 as well. Perhaps, something is wrong with your baseband? I would try this, if possible, get a friend's sim card (anything but WIND/Mobilicity) and see if you connect to that network whether it be Rogers, Telus, etc. If it can connect, then the phone is able to latch onto the regular GSM frequencies. With regards to an unlock radio or baseband, I'm not sure how thats done but maybe someone else on the forum can help you with that.
For some reason, I'll pop in my Rogers SIM (account was probably deactivated though), and my Moto says:
Emergency calls only
ROGERS
Emergency calls only
Go to check my available networks and..."WIND" is the only one that comes up? No idea as to whether its Home/Away or 2G/3G...just "WIND". Not as if it'll let me connect or anything anyways, same flop as the previous attempts ("Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"). :/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10001234&postcount=34 - AHA! Videotron and WIND use the same bands (1700/2100), and some digging around turned that up. Looks like they've been having problems too. Can anyone help pinpoint their radio for me? It seems like that might just do the trick.
Update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944258#11176044 <- Can someone confirm that this is safe for the XT720? If so, my gut instinct's pretty sure this is exactly what I need...the "freq_F_CN_026-850-2100-signed.zip" one appears to be for Canada, while "freq_F_US_342_107-850-1700-2100-signed.zip" does the frequencies right. O-^
Mann, all I had to do was pop in my sim card and off I went. I think there was a 3G fix around here somewhere, make sure to get someone's "approval" first (one of the more experienced guys) because it may damage your phone. Try this though...
Dial *#*#4636#*#*, go into phone information, and see if anything looks off.
As for frequencies, the country does not matter, the frequencies do...for WIND, you need 1700/2100.
do not use those Defy fixes, it'll probably kill your XT720

Have you flashed a sbf? If so, which one? If not did you buy this phone from Wind or somewhere else? If it is a baseband software problem, then perhaps flashing a different sbf will help (Maybe one of the North American ones-- CBW or brightpoint).

STR_U2_04.1E.1_SIGNED_USASHLSTAB14P2XAPCNCBW039.0R_NACBW_P011_A006_HWp3_1FF (Cincinnati Bell)...that's the only .sbf that I can get RSDLite to recognize for some reason. Attempting to pull up one for the UK or the US Brightpoint for example leaves the File Properties section blank and my start button disabled. I have version 4.5.3, if that's any help. Any hope of a miracle here?
Also, I bought it from a third-party in the US...didn't know what carrier it was with, but after some digging around and checking the "S/W" I found it to be Cincinnati Bell. Ideally I'd be looking for a WIND sbf, but I don't think anyone here's managed to get their hands on one. I'm almost at the point of just trying to take it apart to see if there's something loose in the hardware. Someone else on here was saying that there was a loose cable or somewhat that was preventing their UMTS from working properly (can't find the link). Everyone's saying it should be working just fine, I can't really see any alternative besides the baseband perhaps being flaky.

Yup, that's the Cincinnati Bell sbf. The brightpoint one is essentially identical but unbranded--the only differences are things like default webpage in the browser and preloaded bookmarks, etc. I don't know a lot about basebands, but I do know the only way to change the baseband firmware currently is with sbf. I think yours is fine, though. AllGamer is our resident WIND expert, so if his advice didn't help, I'm afraid I don't have much more to offer.
Actually, if this is a Cincinnaiti Bell phone, maybe it's SIM locked to CBW...? I know both of mine are. Does anyone know how to test that? SIM locks are also black magick to me.

i have a hunch you are still SIM locked, that error message ("Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network") you keep having, kinda of suggest that
an easy way to find out, is to see if anyone have an extra unused Cinncinaty Bell's SIM card, and send it to you, so you can pop it in, and if it doesn't give you any error message, but "R"oaming, then that is a good dead indicator that the phone was not properly unlocked.
also in regards to the stock ROMs
you should have no problem flashing any of the .sbf files
my phone was originally an Asian one, then i flashed it to use the UK ROM, and after that i flashed the Dexter 2.2 to it
So are you saying that its possible that an unlock code can "unlock" the device (pass the unlock code request) and allow it to accept a foreign SIM, but still fail to allow it to connect to the SIM's networks? It'd make perfect sense if Rogers was an affiliated network with Cincinnati Bell (for roaming), since it'd be "mutual ground" between WIND and CBW. And then the SIM wouldn't be able to connect to WIND's exclusive 3G network since it was never on the "allowed" networks as defined by Cincy? =.=
if you are in Toronto, i'll suggest you go to P-mall, any of those cell phone stores there can help you unlock the phone for sure
or you can try your luck online with different ways to unlock the phone
quite sincerely we never really talked much about SIM unlocking of this phone within this forum.
perhaps a DEV might be able to help you figure out how to unlock it for free
because if you go to the malls they might charge you an unlocking fee regardless
although with the chinese places you can argue it didn't work, and they will not charge you for the unlocking
Hi there,
I've a sim mod rooted MPQ and it work just fine back in China with a carrier named United Comm(WCDMA), but now I'm here in RiverSide CA and my phone won't roaming. Even if I removed the sim card, there are still signal sign and I'm not able to switch the mobile network mode to WCDMA and it ask me to activate the phone each time I turn it on. I think it's locked. I want to use a T-MOBILE sim card. Is there any thing I can do?

Well I guess I would answer that question first... can you try the SIM in another device? Does the SIM work?
Now the other issue - re-read that thread, there is some good info on frequencies if you missed it... perhaps the Q does not support the frequencies you require?

but back to your problem go to the dialer type *#*#4636#*#*
then a menu will open. click on the first tap iam not sure but i think the name is phone information. in the window that popup scroll down.
there is a dropdown-menu. maybe that can help you. try diffrent things. i think cdma is the right?
if that doesnt help. u can change the baseband by pressing preference in the navigationBar if u are still in the phone information menu.
maybe a reboot is needed to let the changes work. but if u rebooted check first if the options u take are still set. sometimes they reset by rebooting

then a menu will open. click on the first tap iam not sure but i think the name is phone information. in the window that popup scroll down.
there is a dropdown-menu. maybe that can help you. try diffrent things. i think cdma is the right?
if that doesnt help. u can change the baseband by pressing preference in the navigationBar if u are still in the phone information menu.
maybe a reboot is needed to let the changes work. but if u rebooted check first if the options u take are still set. sometimes they reset by rebooting

What kind of test-rom did you have in your phone? Could you post screenshot from About phone?
