Desire S not registering on network - HTC Desire S

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...

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).

[Q] US Cellular TP2 CDMA, I want to use it in EU

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.

Edit:
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

[Q] Flashing HTC Touch Pro 2 (Sprint) using GSM network

Hi guys, i have few questions. I have HTC Touch Pro 2 (Sprint version) and Iam using Vodafone SIM card (Vodafone CZ), so thats GSM network. But Sprint version is CDMA. Now i want flash my HTC. So i need CDMA ROMs, is it right? And if i flash it (for example with Energy ROM), can i still use GSM network and SIM card from Vodafone? Cellphone stay unlocked for any SIM? Or what will happen? And if that flashing fail, can i download official ROM from HTC site and use my Vodafone SIM card again? Thanks for advices.
Please no one know?
Dude a CDMA phone will be a CDMA phone.....The hardware is different....If u flash a gsm rom not will happen except u won't be able to use ur phone. So stick with the CDMA roms and don't use a gsm sim in that nothing will happen.
Hit The Thanks Button if I have Helped.
But Sprint version using both networks. Cellphone is CDMA but it have global mode where i can use GSM SIM card, i wanna know if its will be same after flash to custom ROM.
If so then u should head to the sprint store and get the phone unlocked once it's unlocked then u can use it like a gsm phone.
Hit The Thanks Button if I have Helped.

Thanks, I tried to do it. So I tried to change the SIM card and the operator tried to insert another sim card in the phone of another operator.
Still, I tried to change the phone cover, because I heard that on the cover are the radio antenna, did not help. Handed the phone in for repair, I was told that can not do anything. Shall not the phone left me forever?

sorry mate but i don't know what else to suggest
the only thing i can tell you is to start rooting your device and flash a custom rom
It's maybe simply simlocked?
Another reason i've on my old motorola was the firmware.. the spain one wasn't working for swiss as example.. but when you didn't root it, you don't brick this part. would be hboot, i assume.
rooting may solve the simlock (hboot),countrylimits or whatelse.. personal, i recommend the kitkatrom from sultanxda..

Good find!. I used to be a cellular technician. I have seen that to be the problem on many phones with no service.
