So I pulled my Vodafone V1415 out of the cupboard today to give to my mate, put a SIM in and it continuously searches for network but doesn't find anything.
What can I do?

1. Is the SIM working on another phone?
2. Is your phone network locked, and you are using a SIM from another carrier?
Just to be sure...
Could be a radio problem also, download a radio from the wiki and flash it (Provided your SIM is USPLed and SIM unlocked).

I brought a unlock code to unlock my uk orange htc hero G2 and it unlocked but i got no signal when a simcard other than orange was inserted. So i asked around on some forums and a guy told me to flash my phone with the RUU Hero HTC Asia SEA WWE 2.73.728.5 release signed NoDriver firmware. The phone now lets me use a vodafone sim as well as the orange sim but my virgin mobile sim i always use won't work. It reads ok but i can't dial in or out. Any help would be great.
And i rooted the hero the other day but since i flashed the phone with this update i can't get in the root menu. All i get is a triangle with a ! in and a pic of a phone. How do i reroot.
I've bought a US Cellular TP2 CDMA device months ago, but now I'm back at home and I want to use it in Europe, mostly in Hungary, with an Eu carrier's SIM. Is it possible to put an European radio on this device or I have to use the WU radios? Should I unlock the phone to put a new radio on it?
I'm not sure about Cellurar, but try and put your SIM card (there is a place below battery) and when you turn on the phone it will ask you if you want to use Global mode. If you answer yes it would work as it should . No rom flashing is necessery Flashing GSM version of ROM can kill your phone , so I wouldn't do it!

Thanks for the answer. Right now I can't try it, but I will as soon as I'll have the SIM.
Is there any difference in hardware between cdma & gsm touch pro 2, or just the radio firmware?
(As far as I know, every TP2 has the QUALCOMM CMDA MSM CHIP inside, either originally CDMA or GSM.)
So the main question is that if I never ever want to use it outside of the EU again (or as a CDMA device), am I able to flash somehow an EU radio on the phone?
You don't need to flash anything, just remove your sim card when in USA , you could then use it in Cellurar network (you should register it in the network first and pay I suppose).

Thanks for the help. That's ok, I understand it, but I won't go back to the USA in the next few years, so this phone will be used only in the EU from now. I've unregistered it at US Cellular.
The reason is why I want to use it with an EU radio, is that I want to use is with EU roms and I've heard that some complains about problems with WU radios when trying to use 3G in the EU.
So my life would be much easier this way, but if it's not possible, I'll use CDMA...
Any ideas? Is it possible to flash an EU radio and ROM on my CDMA TP2?
No. Don't even try it. You don't need it, CDMA rom would work with 3g network in Hungary .

sprint and cellular tp2 are supposed to be unlocked, but i may be wrong. no need for any radio or flashing. the cdma version contains the cdma and gsm radio, so need of flashing rom or radio. everything is built in
thanks defaultdotxbe for the link, but that really doesn't help as well I brought a verizon htc tp2 rhod500, winmo 6.1 not a sprint htc tp2 (cannot confirm but stated on advert) (thats what it says on the rainbow splash - volume down key + hang up key) from ebay apparently clean esn. Recieved today and have been trying to connect to O2 (gsm 900 band not sure about umts).
but I have the following problems:
1)It finds the networks but cannot register even under umts/gsm bands 900+1800 + umts 2100+900 or gsm 1900+850 + umts 1900+850.
2)Same problem under global
3) Upon start up get warning need to insert valid verizon sim - guess it has not been unlocked yet?
4)Under settings, there is no security or personal tab... so i cant get the unlocker as i dont know the imei.. or can i phone verizon and they will give it to me?
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
p.s does the htc tp2 have hspda / umts bands usable in the eu - the htc website really doesn't specify but it does for verzion :S.

Please remove the spaces for the link to work.
I'm using htc tp2 from us celular in Macedonia it is sim unlocked (but you can not use it with us sim card) just insert the sim and that's it offcourse you need to change the settings from cdma to global mode to do that go to settings/comunications /phone/network
Hello,
I have this Desire S here which is on official 2.3.5 GB rom, sense 3 and unlocked. Everything else is working apart from the sim is not getting registered to the network and it keeps giving a "x" sign above signal notifier. I tried to manually register the sim "Orange" on its network, which it registered once and after 2 minutes removed the registration automatically.
can you please help me in this regard?
shall i flash the radio?
shall i flash the new rom?
or is it some hardware isuue (assuming it is working because i can search the operators manually.)
Hi few days ago,
I've had similar issue with my lady's phone, she just spilled some liquid ( ? ) over the phone
and when i opened it, the phone was wet inside...
There was no network at all..
I dried it up through the night, and it came back to normal...
You can try to clean simcard and phone connectors as well ( carefully )
If that's one of the above mentioned causes, there is a big chance you may recover your phone...
If the problem persists, you might also check

for more direct help
thanks for the tip. let me open the phone and give it a go... will update you if it worked or not
ok, i have checked it, cleaned the sim jacket, phone is not water damage either...
sim jacket is fine because it do ask me for sim pin code when i turn the phone on. the sim card is not blocked either.
can you please look into this issue for me?
thanks
Could you give more details? Such as how you unlocked the device? Any mods that you may have installed?

Just a thought....
Is/was it simlocked
Is your phone ( or its software ) branded ( carrier locked )
Is it still stock or rooted and modded already...
Could you specify the radio version- your device is having installed...

Hi guys, So i have a GB HTC Sensation and have moved to the US I brought a AT&T Sim and assumed i could just use it since my phone is fulled S-OFF and Perm Rooted. It keeps asking me for my Sim unlock code so i found it and it says sim unlocked sucessfull But it does not find any signal what so ever and when i turn my phone on and off again i have to keep typing the sim unlock code in. when i go to Settings-wireless&networks-Mobile networks-Network operators It says error while seaching for networks. Im not sure why...
So when i went from sence to ICS I remember i had to flash a new radio and when i did as i was on Orange in england i selected the Orange one. So im assuming that the phone is locked to the Orange network with that radio (I dont know much about radios soo please tell me if im wrong)
So will i have to flash an AT&T radio to my phone? if so can someone point me to a thread on how and where to do so as i can not remember
Thanks alot guys!

i really don't know but you can use getril app from playstore
it will tell you the best combination of radio/ril
Just an idea.
Go to your dialer, put in *#*#4636#*#*
Then do Phone Information
Once in there hit the menu button and select Radio Band
And then select USA Band
See if that does anything for you.
Use any guie forum brow

Try this http://iphone-unlock.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-to-unlock-htc-sensation-4g.html and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693491
But generically try to wipe cache and dalvik cache and/or wipe data and/or try to flash another ROM and another Radio.
If not, may be hardware problem. Verify that the case is fully adjusted to phone, and try also to clean contacts.
