I upgraded our first SPVM1000 (xda2 from orange) with WM5 and it all seemed to work fine.
I then up upgraded the second and it went fine. The second one is still workign completely fine with no problems. We noticed that the first one could not get reception. If you put its sim card in the other phone then it works. Now I tried with with Orange and Vodafone sims. They work in PDA 2 but in PDA 1 there is no reception (it was working yesterday).
Then it kept coming up with an error saying that it was sorry for the inconvenience but there was an error with cprog.exe.
After a reset (power button and soft reset button) that stopped happening but then I found that I could not active sync PDA1. It cant connect and so connects as "guest". After what used to be a hard reset, everything is still as though I just did a soft reset with WM5 - not sure why.
Then I tries to backdate it to the old rom. If I use OSImage tool it wants it to be active synced which doesn't work (v3.8 or v4.0). I also tried to reupgrade with WM5 again (a fresh installation) but althoght it will go into boot mode with Serial 1.03 and then USB 1.03 appearing on the screen, the upgrade fails. It says there is a communication error.
Everything is working with PDA 2 so it cant be a connection fault. I think I did something and now I got myself in quite a pickle.
Can anyone help please?
I'd be happy to reset / reboot right back to the beginning again though I'd like to keep WM5.
Thanks

Solution (how to hard reset in wimdows mobile 5)
Hard resetting WM5 has fixed all of these problems including the phone reception. To hard reset (sometimes called clear reset in the forums) you have to press the tape and camera buttons and then the soft reset with the stylus. This is on an XDA2 (SPVM1000) and is different since upgrading to WM5 (prev power button and the soft reset did the trick). I found lots of websites giving different instructions on how to do this but for the XDA2 type this works.

I was using my phone for tethering following this post and it was working great.
Today in order to install the Mango Beta update I did a reset on my phone so that the backup step would be faster.
But I forgot to switch back my phone from "HTC Modem" mode to "Zune Sync" mode.
Now it just wont connect to the computer. I cannot install the same XAP file to enable the "Zune Sync" mode as the phone is not dev unlocked (it was dev unlocked before reset).
Now the phone is just recognized as a modem on my machine and Zune just won't recognize it.
I have searched google and the XDA forums but could not find any solution to this issue.
Any pointers to fix this issue will be greatly appreciated.
H8 to say it, but I think you are screwed because u can't unlock your phone. Talk to your carrier, make it seem like you are innocent, ask for a replacement and cross your fingers.
I am sorry

Have you tried reset via diagnosis menu?
Dial ##634# to get in Diagnostic mode and *2767*3855# to do a full reset.
After changing some settings in my omnia, it wouldn't connect to 3g, no matter what I did. I flashed roms, updates, did a reset via settings menu, called my mobile operator... today I did this reset and the phone wen't back to normal, so I assume that this reset is "harder" then the other

Tried this, its just for samsung decives. I could not find the Diagnostic code for HTC phones. Thanks for your answer.
Found the following on this thread:
Call ##634#
From the new debugging menu, enter: *#7284#
You see three options come up: Zune, Modem Tethered Call, Modem Diagnostic.
Then its easy to switch to Zune mode. But the problem is it just works on Samsung phones. I am not sure what the Diagnosis code for HD7 is. I have searched everywhere
I am not sure if I can call t-mobile for help as I had unlocked my phone and moved to another carrier.

Act all innocent and just say you have no idea why it won't update, tried on different friend's computers etc. Dont mention it's been unlocked as they will never find out how. However the replacement phone wont be unlocked so you'll have to unlock it again.
When I bought my Toshiba TG01 on Orange, I NEVER put an orange sim card into it, I used it with my O2 sim and I had it returned when it was 11 months

Thanks for the response. I will definitely try returning it.
Hello. Sometimes when I turn on the phone and unlock the SIM with my PIN, it just gets stuck in the unlocking SIM message. The phone gets signal, even internet access, and I get notifications, everything runs OK behind, but I can't use the phone because that message is there in the middle of the screen. Not even enabling airplane mode fixes it, I have to reboot. I haven't tried removing the SIM, though. I recently wiped everything > flashed a factory image > flashed cataclysm > flashed franco BUT it already happened before and keeps happening now.
Also, sometimes I see a strange error in the status bar (more often when the SIM problem occurs? dunno). In Spanish (the language the phone is set to) it says:
"El acceso restringido se ha modificado"
Which in English is, more or less:
"The restricted access has been modified"
When I pull down the notifications, it's already gone, and the phone keeps working perfectly
I can't RMA it (it's not officially sold in the canary islands, well, it is via amazon but when they announced that it was too late), so I hope it's a bug. Any ideas?
I think it would be useful to know that it's a real microsim (not a cut-down SIM), a movistar one, and I don't have any other microsims to test or other phones that use microsim. The phone is from the UK.
Hi,
I have a Motorola atrix 2. All of sudden it stopped detecting mobile(sim) network. It was working fine , in the morning when I woke up , when i tried to call it was showing flight moded is on and when i tried to to disable flight mode I could not do it , I did a factory reset , it didnt not resolve the issue. I thought it was sim problem , i changed the sim , that also didnt work. I tried recovery it also did not work. Sometimes it detects network but i could not make any call.Most of the times it doesnt detect network(it shows red plus sign).When i try to search for networks , it lists networks after 3-4 minutes(Vodafone , airtel , idea etc) ,But i fails to register with the network.
COuld you please suggest a solution. Is it hardware or software issue?
Thanks,
Hairsh

There is a file called "radio.img" it's the software part concerned with cell network so probably if the problem came from software it (would) be that file, so please answer this Q first:
have you played and flashed some ROMs and Kernels?? is your phone rooted?
No I have not flashed or played with ROM or Kernel. What I did was my phone was attached to my laptop as USB storage and I removed directly(not safe removal , did not do safe detach). My phone is not rooted , Initially I had Gingerbread(when bought) after that I got official ICS update.

Great...now you need to fxz (it means flash the original Motorola firmware and restore it's initial state)
so here is what you need:
1) The same firmware (that's why I was asking you about system version)...download from here
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=17&file=351
copy it to desktop
2) Motorola Driver
http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/65297309/file.html
install it.
3) RSD Lite (it's the application used to flash)
http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/85618478/file.html
install it.
>>Now charge your battery to 100% that's very important.
>>backup your important info. from contacts to messages..etc.
>>Turn off your phone.
>>Enter Fast-boot mode by pressing (volume up+ volume down + power button) at the same time..the phone will turn on with a menu...press volume down to move the selector to (AB Fast boot) then press volume up to enter that mode.
>>you now should see "Battery OK"
>> Connect your phone to PC with the usb cable and wait to see connection has changed to "USB Connected" in phone
>>open RSD Lite and follow that video instructions:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHaEHjSzvQQ
Caution: Don't ever try to cut the flashing operation or your phone will be completely dead...so it's recommended to disable your antivirus while flashing and other services..just leave your PC alone till RSD Lite finishes the flashing.
It's not hard to fxz but please be careful with every step...... HAPPY FLASHING
My internet is slow , its taking time in downloading the firmware image. I will update you once I complete the process , thank you very much for the kind help.
Flashing was successful but for my bad luck the problem still exists. I think its an hardware issue. Do you have any idea? is it repairable? if repairable what would be the cost? Thank you very much for your support.
Good news ,it started working , i rebooted some 4-5 times after flashing firmware ,it started working now.
Thanks for your support. Thank you very much.
Sorry to say that my phone has gone mad. Now it shows network , but I could not able to make call ,if I call anybody it just gets cut and I am not able to receive any calls. Earlier it worked for some time i received 2 calls and I made 2-3 calls. Now calls are not going and not coming also.

I see that flashing original firmware doesn't help....sorry to say but it's now definitely a hardware problem
I guess that when plugging out the USB cable "specially if you unplug it slowly" some current leakage has reversed back and burned a tiny connections on the board.
actually I don't know the repair cost in service center...it depends on how much damage happened on board.
Note: maybe the battery is part of the problem...if your battery isn't genuine it may lead to that crazy behavior specially when making call or receiving calls as battery is required to raise up it's current to wake up some chips and provide more power to the antenna....if the battery was bad or damaged it can't raise it's power suddenly so system will goes crazy and may restart or freeze...etc
Make sure that your battery is genuine and not too old or that generic Chinese bad batteries as they aren't stable and may cause a current spike "extremely bad for electronics" when moving from charging mode to discharging mode and that's exactly what I think it happened to you.
Thanks. I will try to take it a repair centre , Lets see whether they can fix it. Bad part is Motorola no more provides service for Atrix 2 in India. I have to find someone who has expertise in fixing Atrix 2 problems.

Hi Harish,
Before you go to the service center, try changing your SIM card.
I once had problem with my new MotoZine restarting everytime I clicked a pic. I took it to the service center, they reinstalled OS. That did not work. Then we changed the sim card, and miraculously it worked.
I know its weird, but its worth a try.
Hi all
A few months ago I bought a OUKITEL WP15 5G. All was fine until it got an update. Initially it was only the wi-fi hotspot function that was unstable. Later it started having trouble with the up/down buttons not responding in certain apps.
One day it kicked over to Arabic and refused to go back to English. I was able to force it to English by deleting keyboard languages, but every time the phone was restarted it went back to Arabic.
I decided to do a factory reset. After that I have only 3G phone function and no mobile data. I have downloaded ROM from manufacturer site, but that didn't work. I have tried to contact manufacturer, with even less success.
Does anyone have a working ROM, instructions, ideas or do I just go straight for the paperweight function ...??
Thanks
PJ
