O2 registration

Hi guys,
I have problems registering my O2 XDA mini so i was unable to download O2 plus for my device. It seems that the IMEI is not recognized by O2.
I bought this from a friend and he told me that this was given to him as a gift by his relative that lives outside our country (The box and manual are in German.). He hasn't use this because he already have an O2 XDA IIi so he decided to sell it.
Questions:
1.) Is it really necessary to register my device?
2.) Is there any other alternative site where i can download any updates?
Any advise will be highly appreciated. Thanks and have a nice day.

sorry for the question (I'm a newbie).
any ideas?
Thanks..

XDA Network switching

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

Newbe: o2 Xda Orbit Question

Hi,
I have found my old phone from 2008 an O2 Xda Orbit lying in the back of my cupboard. I remeber it being my favourite item just 4 years ago and I bought the cradle for in car-navigation etc. I now am on Vodafone and was wondering if there was anything that I could do with the phone apart from selling for £8.00 on Mazuma.
I am an ICT technician so I know my way around a computer but would really be looking for some basic instructions / links to files, if there is a way to use the phone without a sim card, or to use the phone with the old sim card inserted (number not now in use). I have been playing for about 4 hours and dropping .cab files in and flashing the ROM etc, but dont think I am doing the right steps in the right order.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Keith (Newbie)

Anyone? Any ideas?

[Completed] How do i unblock my Samsung s7580 after it was being blocked in Turkey?

Hello everybody.
Thing about Turkey is that when you take your phone from abroad to here, after two months of using the SIM card you bought in Turkey, the phone cant be connected to network.
So i was rooting my phone, changing its IMEI and it didnt work. I also was thinking that it is about the SIM card, that the operator is making the network for phone unavailable,
but SIM card works fine in other "registered" phones. I once have paid around 100 dollars to unlock my Alcatel, and i figured out that everything is being done through software,
you dont leave your phone, they dont touch it, you just pay and give the IMEI of the phone you want to register and prevent it from blocking. Now i am thinking that the best solution was
to change the IMEI on time, and get additional two months with new IMEI. But this is just my modest logic.
I am really wondering what is this about? What do you think about this?
And is it possible to for me to do it by my own without giving away 100 $?
Thanks
