Hi, quick one please.
I have a Wizard also know as XDA Mini S branded to O2... I did recently do the update to WM6 with the Hard method, also used some software which captured settings of the phone, it told me it was SIM unlocked and I know I made it CID unlocked with the Hard thing.
What I want to know is this.
Currently on a business contract with o2, this is expiring and I have sorted out so I get a signal here on other networks by using other antenna (see my other post)... I ebayed a very cheap Orange SIM so I can test the signal, however it doesn't have a number and requires registering and I know I need to give my phone EIMI out. I also have another sim here which works as a PAYG Vodafone which is registered to another hand set.
So, when i put in either vodafone or orange sim into my so called 'unlocked' phone, it just sits there searching away and nothing really happens, no messages just search, I know I should be getting signals.
1: Is this handset locking methods but I am sure im unlocked? Is this because the EMIE and vodafone sim card is not matching?
2: As I am in a business contract with o2, if I register the EMEI number with Orange, will I upset my business phone number (must not do)
All I want to do is see how 'steady' the orange signal is here and also find out what to do next when we change our contract (this month) as I wish to retain my XDA because no 'new' XDA-type phones coming out have no antenna sockets
Any help is good
nobody here?
if i were you i would ask in the forum made specialy for your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=289
better chance of getting a reply from people who own the same device
the wiki is also a good place to get info
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
but it is a question about networks and how they work and not about a particurlar phone.
Quite stunned that nobody is actually interested in helping me on this issue, they seem to be more interested in ROMs are alike lol
Is there any other forums out there devote to Mobile Phones?
Thanks anyway Rudegar
I've just tried this and despite the info on Howardforums. The numbers I enter on t-mo.co.uk wont register. Seems we need the Dash cab file or need to use a My Faves handset for initial activation.
H
I think the My Faves cab file (from a T-Mobile US wing rom) is called wispa_PPC_Atlas_Release-2-0-0-0.CAB.
I installed it to have a look, but my Trinity wouldn't start...so a bit stuck really.
H
where can i get the my faves cab file at thanks
If you could be arsed reading my post...you'd have a good idea of the answer. There isn't one for UK atm. If you want the US one...you can get it from the Wing extended rom. Freezes my phone on boot tho.K
T-Mobile shop have no My Faves handsets for me to borrow for 10mins...They've not been sent demo stock apparently.
T-Mobile CCR was very suspicious on the phone and made me sound feel like I was doing something criminal.
Their selection of handsets is poo quite frankly and they haven't bothered to offer software for they're own branded phones. Whole thing is a big brother style scam. There's no reason to have this authorisation style handshake with the installed app on the phone for christ's sake. They won't switch me back to Flext either...tho I have a 7 day cancellation policy in place so I can return upgraded handset (Vario III)...revert to Flext plan then re-upgrade again.
Pain in the buttox!
may i ask if you have been able to get myFaves to work on a non-myFaves mobile please?
thanks a lot
Hi all,
I really need to change my HTC TYTN II imei. Can anyone help me on this? Is there any software I can get from this forum to change my imei myself? Hope you all can guide me on this.
Changing your IMEI is seriously illegal in several countries.

Why you want to change imei,did you steal it,and you dont want the oparator tracking you.to change imei is ilegal.
Anything in this forum/site that is deemed illegal such as software or hacks will get you banned and the thread removed. Do you understand what the IMEI is used for? I can see if your device got hacked as many places such as Brazil had this problem with the TDMA/CDMA network. GSM is more secure but still not perfect. If you think you got hacked then loose the device and talk to your service provider right away as changing the International Mobile Equipment Identity will not help!
If you are on GSM and use a SIM card, most all wireless providers will not require you to register your IMEI. How many iPhones are in Canada on the Rogers network? And has Rogers nailed anyone for having one? Your SIM is what GSM networks use to ID you and your usage, not the phone. I would not be using an AT&T Tilt if IMEI would black list me from my provider and force me to use one of their (somewhat) outdated and poor selection of full featured phones...

I see an old NES Conrta fan here
I tried that and I still don't have unlimited lives.. er,... minutes on my phone
ya, still play it now and then. I was hoping someone would try this on their phone then post that's it's not working for them.
Which I then would have replied
you must first downgrade your rom to windows mobile 4.9
then upgrade your radio to version 1.66
remove your battery
reinsert your battery
try the code again
..hehe jokes

it wont work if you haven't unlocked first!!!
proevoguy, u must install hardSPL first
after that you must downgrade to WinMobile 4.7
, then search registry for IMEI
if you haven't install hardSPL, the key is hidden
mmm why is this thread is not locked??
lol
People want to change imei doesn't mean he/she is using a stolen phone. I want to change my imei just because I don't want AT&T to know I am using a PDA phone w/ their non-pda data plan

I was actually want the same thing because AT&t's plan for this phone is like 64.99 a month, which is just outrageous.
for those that care, i used an 8525 for 7 months before it broke and att never said a word about the fact that i didn't have a pda plan, when i took the phone in they asked if i wanted to register my new phone with them without changing my plan and it didn't cost me a dime, i was previously on a nokia 6030i as far as they knew

Same for me and Rogers. They had the Motorola 320, and Nokia 6820b in their database. Those 2 I got for next to nothing as I renewed my plan both times. The phone after those, I bought direct from HP as I was outsourced by them and got a good discount when buying the HW6955 (HTC Sable) through them and not Rogers (kept my old plan and the phone was factory unlocked too). Next is my current phone: AT&T Tilt, again bought the phone from some place other than Rogers and kept my old plan. If you got the phone for free or discounted, you will be forced into a new plan and the plan will always match the type of your phone. That is why you never buy from your cellphone provider. My 3 dollar internet plan I added long ago, only covered text based sites which matched my very old Motorola 320 So I axed that 3 dollar service from my plan. The guy was surprised to find out the last 2 phones were not on his list With what our providers have to offer for phones, Canada is way behind everyone else (can you say September for iPhone? And that is a maybe). Rogers added Tytn to their fleet of phones when everyone else was getting ready for the TyTN II. They still offer the original TyTn and still no plans for a Kaiser. We will get the Diamond but only after the rest of the world has warn them out. So in short: buy your phone in full and avoid a contract renewal. In the long run, you will still save money and avoid being put in their database.
yeah. It is very slow in Canada. However, I phoned Fido for their additional $7 dollars all you can browse service plan, it is required to registered your IMEI with Fido. Or I should said it this way, Fido only allows the IMEI on their list to sign up for that plan. That means without changing the IMEI, you are not eligible for that plan. I know some of the people change the IMEI on their Iphone just to use that data plan.
well the poster should
explain why they want to change their IMEI no reason just makes it all seem aloof to me!

And that is not "stealing" how?
I have often wondered - I think that it is the RIAA that made it illegal to "break copy protection schemes" - in other words to remove code that was designed to protect a program or music or software. In this forum we "remove" bits that keep us from installing ROMs - technically this would put us in violation of this?
We get away with it because?
1. it is our purchased phone and we can do with it what we want?
2. we don't sell the software that we make (ROMS)
I am pretty sure that is we change the IMEI numbers and enable someone to hurt provider's revenue stream that this will be the straw that breaks the camels back and they will go after the culprits.
My two bits worth...
proevoguy - the forum will generally not discuss IMEI changing as it is highly illegal in most countries. Please search for "get you sore" for some info on why most people won't assist you on this. Personally I'm not against the technical discussion of IMEI changing, but as it is such a dangerous subject, it's best not to touch it.
I'm going to lock the thread, but leave it visible, so if anyone wants to help you privately they can. Just don't forget to lube up first if you get caught with an IMEI changed phone.

I was planning on picking up an unlocked HTC Pro on Monday and wanted to know if I would be able to go to an AT&T store and get it setup?
1) Does AT&T allow unlocked phones to be setup like this?
2) Will I get 3G through their UMTS network?
I have done a lot of searching here and came up empty, someone surely has tried this or knows if it is possible?
Exoticphone.com is selling me the unlocked phone if you need to verify the specs in it (although I assume it is just the stock phone made by HTC).
I found some info. in this other forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410945
1- Yes, you can set up any unlocked phone to use on at&t, as long as it supports the correct bands (the touch pro does). You dont need to go to an at&t store, just put the sim in, and your good to go
2- No, the current touch pro does not support at&t 3G bands. You can still use it on edge, or you can wait until the north american version is released

That's not for sure yet. The Touch Pro may or may not support the north american 3G bands. It's a bit of a gamble at this point from what I can tell, future ROM's may get that functionality working... or not.
As stated for #1, EDGE and GSM will work just fine.
are you out of your mind posting this. Use the search on the top right.

Wow, why are you flaming someone who just asked a simple question, you easily could have taken the time nicely point out the search feature instead of creating thread clutter.
To the OP, as stated you "might" be able to get 3G to run on it but out of the box it is only enabled for European 3G. When the "Fuse" comes out (Touch Pro made for ATT) it is possible that people will find a way to make the unlocked versions run with US 3G enabled, but thats not a sure thing.
You can go into any ATT store and just tell them you need to buy a SIM card and a phone plan and they will get you all set up.
When looking for phones just check which frequencies are supported on the device and what is offered by the network you are looking to join or use.
I read a really great article detailing a crisis that is currently afflicting the WM world.. To read it, go here.. It basically bemoans how a lot of carriers are locking down their GPS to only work with their branded GPS software.. I hope this will at least be an interesting read for you... I for one support them
What do you think can be done to cause this to stop?
Would flashing to a non-carrier branded rom unlock the GPS? (On the HTC Fuze)
I figure this, all ROM's released to date, from VZW, all have the GPS "locked", but there have been ways to work around it. I say if it's there, then we can somehow utilize it. VZW, just released the Touch Pro, I'm interested in what it's capable of doing. I believe it comes stock with a functioning GPS, but you have to pay for the VZW service.
If it really gets so bad that nothing can be done, and providers dumb down these powerful devices anymore, I'll have to move to a new platform.
I purchased an unlocked zinc to use with my existing t-mo 2yr contract and gps works fine with no sim at all (phone icon must be lit in 'comm mgr').
Are you referring to carrier locked phones specifically?
