Hello
I was just wondering if anyone has flashed their E650 with the HTC rom at all. I will be getting my unlock code soon from Orange due to the fact they are breaking contract with me as they cannot supply a decent signal where I live.
I have 2 questions:
1. is the HTC rom a lot more stable and does live messenger come with it.
2. Does the orange unlock also unlock the CIDlock on the device.
Thanks
I just flashed mine. CID unlocked via IMEI-CHECK. Flash with HTC ROM, but I know have no signal. Or should I say that the phone rings but I cannot answer the call, and cannot phone out.
I flashed my E650 with the Arabic ROM. Its great and really stable. It comes with all the Windows Live stuff and not had any problems with it so far. You can tell it not to install the arabic language at the start and it operates in english fine.
My dad has an At&T tilt (htc kaiser). He unlocked it and we are trying to get it to work in Israel with a cellcom sim card. The sim card in my phone is working in his phone, but the new sim he bought for his phone only works in a slvr l6 we have. On the kaiser, the sim is recognized, but it won't connect to the cellcom network (it does with my cellcom sim card). Do you think upgrading the rom would help the problem (he still has the original rom that came with it from at&t, and he has paid them and unlocked it) and if so, which ROM for the kaiser have you found to be the best for you. If I flash it, will it work fine in the US and in Israel, etc? Now that it is unlocked, is it for good even after reflashing it? If you don't think the rom is the problem, do you have any other suggestions as to why one specific sim would only work in one phone? All suggestions are welcome!!!
ok first thing the rom has nothing to do with that flashing it wont help, what you need to find out is what band that company uses and then select the ban from your phone and that will allow the phone to work if it still dont pick up ur phone wasnt unlock properly, remember it takes a little time to pic up its not as quick as the other phones. If you still choose to flash ur phone you need to read some of the threads first and make up ur mind based on the comments made. but personaly they all are good to me some have a few ups and down but nothing major or you can use the orginal rom posted by dutty a few days ago its stable.
Thanks for the response. This is the weirdest problem I have ever encountered, because my phone (an l6) uses the same sim from the same company (cellcom) and my sim card works perfectly in the kaiser. The new sim card does not work in my l6 OR his kaiser, but works in my mom's cheapie unlocked phone and another (a bit newer) l6 (same model phone!) that we have with us. So connecting to the network is not the problem, as the kaiser does that with my sim in it. But with the new sim in it, the kaiser refuses to connect to the cellcom network. I have no idea where to go from here. Why does it work in one l6 and not another? Why my old one work in my l6 AND his kaiser, but the new sim works in neither? All help is greatly appreciated!!
Yesterday I posted about the change of the IMEI on my Tilt, but it was said that even if there are two numbers more in the serial it's ok anyway, and matters only the first 15 numbers in the IMEI serial.
That's ok.
(Even if I don't understand why the moderator kyphur close that thread, as I see and read so many stupid thread from newbies asking so stupid questions without sense and clearly posted without taking a look and search in this forum before posting!!..... BTW......)
My problem is that after upgrading from Dutty's v4 to Dutty's WM6.1 Build 5.2.19716 my Tilt doesn't recognize my SIM card (and before the upgrade it did) (BESIDE checking the IMEI changed with 2 digit more)
My Tilt was legally unlocked with the AT&T code they sent me after my request.
Now I'm in Italy since 3 weeks and I was using an Italian SIM from an Italian carrier.
Before upgrading to a WM 6.1 rom (and 6.1 radio) my legally unblocked Tilt worked perfectly and so fine...
Now it doesn't see my SIM card at all... it says SIM MISSING.
I tried this same SIM in other cellulars and works fine, and I tried other different italian SIM cards in the same Tilt and they work!
Maybe my Italian SIM is, in a certain sense, not perfectly compatible with a WM 6.1 based rom?
Should I ask to the carrier to change my SIM to something different and newer?
Could be this one the problem that the Tilt doesn't recognize and see my italian SIM?
I tried to return back to a WM6 rom and radio BUT THE TILT doesn't yet recognize the SIM. (and I'm repeating that before the upgrade, till 2 days ago it was perfect!)
(....and I would not be a pain in the ass.. but everything go bad after noticing that the emei has changed... and I'm underlining this because it is important in the official process to legally unblock the Tilt from AT&T procedure)
AGAIN....
What's happening?
Any suggestions?
Could someone tell me if you encountered a problem like this before?

I know this is going to sound dumb as hell, but it worked for my brother's phone and maybe it will work for yours.
Remove the sim card and using a brand new pencil w/ new eraser, press the eraser against the brass contacts on the sim card and erase as though someone colored them all. Then reinsert sim card and see what happens. Once again, I am not saying this will work, but I am saying that my brother's blackjack lost contact with his sim card and this is what he did and everything worked again.
Just a shot in the dark, but maybe. Hope it helps and good luck.
While I have not heard of this happening to non-US SIM cards, I went through this problem with my older Cingular SIM card and my 8125.
Everything worked perfectly fine until I loaded WM6 onto the device, and then all of a sudden I needed to get a 3G SIM card from Cingular, even though the 8125 was Edge/GPRS capable only.
I would suggest getting a replacement SIM card from you Italian carrier.

Thnx P1Tater for the easy "handyman-like" suggestion.
I tried it, but it doesn't work and defenitely it's not my case.

Yes.. I'm thinking to do so.. maybe my Italian SIM card is not good after this upgrade to WM 6.1 and it's not 3G. I cannot confirm, but very probably it's like so.
I'm asking my (old and, in the same time, temporary) italian provider to change my SIM to a newer one... and then we will see what happen.
It's very strange how with WM 6 It was simply PERFECT and after this upgrade to wm6.1 the sim is not recognized.
oh... I wanna add that when I insert the AT&T SIM the Tilt regularly see it.. even if, obviously, there's no signal and no services available.
I resolved the problem getting a replacement SIM card from the Italian carrier.
SO the bottom line is that with some old SIM card upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.1 based ROM the AT&T Tilt doesn't work!
You MUST HAVE a new SIM CARD 3g capable.
i upgraded to wm 6.1 and now it says my sim is missing. it never used to do it. i have the 3g sim card. can anybody offer anything? i cant seem to find anything.
thanks!

I have the same problem before. When I upgraded to the 3.34 ROM as I post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439408
Kaiser says the sim card is missing, but I do have the sim card inside. What I been done is open the sim card door while the kaiser is power on, it will shut down by they self, then close the door. Power on again then it read my sim card. It work in my case I am not sure about yours.
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.

Checked this several times. It is not that.
It's possible that my phone will only work with a brazilian operator ROM??

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.
Welcome to the problem , GOINGTOBRAZIL!
Now it seems that there are more atleast 3 ppl here in the forum with AT&T TILT having this no signal problems! first i got it, then goingtobrazil, and then Williegonza!

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.
