So this is a GSM-only RHOD? RHOD100 I'd guess?

If so, there's no reason to unlock the SIM slot on the device itself AFAIK. You would only need to unlock the SIM card itself.

I'm by no means an expert here, but based on what I've read the only SIM slot that needs unlocking or is even unlock-able on the RHOD is the CDMA variants (which both have SIM slots for GSM as well).

Sorry, maybe someone with some more knowledge on the GSM variants will respond.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kirior:
Yes it is RHD100,

Before reading your posts i have already unlocked my sim slot as i was trying to use my 3uk sim in orangeUK handset. Usually in all handsets so far that was the way to use different sims. If what you say is true what are my options now?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kirior:
To bump up my thread and question

After not much luck trying to fix it i still have a device that have no signal.

I have tried ROMs Radios flashes and all i could think of.

i have checked and the only way for me to use my phone was to unlock it via unlock codes. But since that day i have no signal what so ever.

I am willing to send my phone to some one for repair if you think you have a clue.

If you have any ideas how i can do it on my own please let me know as well as i really would like to use this. I know it is old and stuff but still would be nice.

Anyhow if you need more answers or info of what i have tried and done do not hesitate to contact me or reply here.

Regards

You're sure the hardware supports the bands you require for your provider?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mr.horndoctor:
Like arrrghhh says if your Rhodium supports the frequency bands for the provider you are trying to use it on then it should work. I suggest you talk with your 3UK tech support and give them the model # and see if you need a specific type of sim card for it to work or any suggestions they might have.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kirior:
HI,

Thanks for your input. I know that it used to work on Orange UK network before taking sim lock. Usually most of UK devices worked together, especially that 3 UK have a partner agreement to use Orange network if you loose 3 Network. So it should work. I will give them a call and report back.

Kirior

Edit:

So the guy said that because my sim works in other handsets it must be a software/hardware and sim issue. He could not check it more as it was not a 3 handset so they don't bother. They, as a network, used to have a agreement with all the network to roam between each other, so that would mean that freq are same in all UK. I am running out of options. Any one willing to fix/help with it?

Edit 2:

Went to an orange shop on my way to work and tried one of theirs sim card. Handset worked flawlessly. My guess now is something went wrong with unlock maybe, or my sim is really incompatible with handset. Any ideas how to resolve it?

Thx in advance.

Kirior
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ccengineer:
Did you try to manually choose a network?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
So there's no problems with the device, the problem is with your SIM. Sort that out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kirior:
Yes i did, as well as automated process as soon as you enter new sim.

May be, but my sim works in all sort of different devices, it is just this one.

I was wandering as well, maybe if i would come back to stock RUU for Orange UK maybe than it would work? But i cannot seem to find it anywhere :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mr.horndoctor:
Maybe you are correct when you say that something went wrong with unlocking your SIM slot on your device and it is not completely unlocked. I suggest that you consider the SIM Unlocking solution from Olinex to completely unlock your device. It says on their website that sometimes other unlocking solutions do not take or do not fully unlock the device and their solution works differently to fully unlock the device. I know it is not free but it is an option to consider. Here is a link to the website:

http://rhodium.htc-unlocks.com/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
I don't get it. If you went into the shop and one of their SIM's worked, then it's gotta be your SIM. Either you're not telling us the entire story, or something else is missing here.

If the provider gave you an identical SIM in their shop and it worked, but your SIM didn't - but that same SIM works in other phones, there's definitely some piece of the story we're missing here.

Imma step out tho, I don't do GSM. Good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kirior:
Thx anyway for all your input. My sim is different provider than the one from the shop. Device originally was locked to Orange, and i went to their store to try their SIM. My sin is from a different network, 3 UK, and this one works in my nexus worked in desire, palm dext (cliq for US) and so on. This is the first handset it do not work. May be my sim may be something with unlocking, may be something else. Im puzzled myself.

Thx again anyway.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mr.horndoctor:
Did you consider my suggestion in my last post?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kirior:
Yes. I had a look on the page. I am bit uncertain how it works, or how I would use it. It says I will receive a tool in an email. How trustworthy is that and few more questions. Can you help me with that? And what are those tickets and stuff.

Regards

Kirior
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
The problem is that you did a software SIM unlock before flashing. Those only sick around until you change out the ROM, which is what you did. Try the unlock solution provided by olinex as was suggested a few posts back. That unlocks the SIM in the SPL so it will persist through a flash.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mr.horndoctor:
Oh good. Yes, just follow the directions they give you exactly and you'll be fine. Many people have used this solution and with great success. The tickets are used when you need to do multiple unlocks to unlock several devices like bulk unlocking or unlock a replacement device or you need technical support.

There you go OP. That's probably the reason.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kirior:
hi

So, i went, paid and downloaded the Tool. Used it and followed everything to the letter and results are strange, to say least.

So my 3 UK sim is still non functional. Than i tried my GF o2 UK. Funny thing there, after running the connection set-up and setting it for o2 UK i have a data connectivity but no mobile. I cannot make phone calls or send messages but i can browse internet. And yes i have checked if this is WiFi or my data and 100% sure it was my data as i disabled WiFi.

Last was T-Mobile UK. and that worked flawlessly. Data as well as mobile connectivity worked like charm. It may be from a recent Orange - T-Mobile merger in the UK but it worked.

After all this my opinion is that it is my network, not sim that is incompatible with the device and hardware, i guess. Not sure if flashing a new ROM would do anything.

If you guys can thing of anything let me know. But i guess that is pretty conclusive.

Still hope not but i guess it is a fools hope.

Regards

Kirior
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Did you ever establish that your provider's frequencies are supported by your device...?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kirior:
Hi

To being honest with you, no never crossed my mind. I just lived in a assumption that all UK handsets are compatible with all the networks. To top that off don't really even know how to check that. Would a simple Google search just do?

Really I just thought that all are GSM and job done. I am guessing that if 3 uses different network type or freq I might miss required hardware to support it. I'll have a look around internet later. Maybe I'll find freq bands or such.

Thx for all help. If anyone will find something before I finish please share.

Regards

Kirior
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Well, in the UK/Europe that does seem to typically be the case - it's usually only the US folks that have to worry about whether 3g data or voice services will even work.

Just something to keep in mind... Really not sure what else to do, since you've pretty much proved out the hardware - there's not a whole lot left, especially after you purchased the SIM unlocker.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
The Rhodium is a quad band GSM device. It works on any 2G GSM network worldwide. In Europe, you should get 3G data as well. I won't say for certain, but most GSM networks in Europe use the 2100MHz frequency which is supported by the Rhodium 100 and 210. The problem is with your provider or with the ROM lacking support for your carrier. It is more likely that it is your carrier blocking your device based on your current plan with them. The easiest way to find out is to bring your SIM card and the Rhodium into one of their stores and ask about it. There is no need to flash an official ROM anymore. Just make sure that you have someone with you using a different SIM card that actually works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kirior:
All 3-branded networks provide 3G technology (WCDMA, some also run 2G networks).

Quote from Wikipedia about 3, not only UK. I guess that means i miss some radios or such.

I failed to mention on my first posting that I have tried the various fixes suggested on the n2a website.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
Call the people that sold you the card. That is what their support is for. I doubt anyone here will help you resolve this since these people are making money off the CM7 developers & what we all do here for free

I am not a very good dev myself so i was wondering if one of the awesome devs on xda would make a ROM or theme from the international galaxy s2?? You know with the red contacts icon and yellow messaging icon (the works) I would really like one and im sure other people would too!

Thanks!
[Dell Streak 7] chamberc:
Unfortunately, Dell will not be offering the update for customers locked to T-Mobile in the U.S. With each software update, the requirements for offering the update vary by carrier, region and device, and Dell has decided to not offer this update to T-Mobile customers in the United States.

http://en.community.dell.com/dell-b...id-3-2-honeycomb-update-to-dell-streak-7.aspx
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
fxxk tmobile (potentially dell as well)
[Dell Streak 7] lrs421:
A certrain dev on a certain site will have your back. I wouldn't worry about it.
[Dell Streak 7] chamberc:
If that certain build requires rooting, it won't help.
[Dell Streak 7] Sparkyacdc:
On the phone with Dell Mobility as I type this. I'm not going to stand for this, and neither should any other tmobile streak owners. They will be sending me a wifi only, or refunding me my money. Will post an update when something is resolved. Be it good or bad.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Yea that's not gonna happen, as tmo stopped selling s7's long before dell made any announcements of HC.

You're just as likely to be able to get them to refund EVERY s7 because it's unlikely to recieve ICS when it comes out.
[Dell Streak 7] twillet50:
This is bull****!! We pay MORE for the 4G model, and now we get screwed by Dell, just because THEY decide that THEY don't want to offer it to us!!!
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Dell never mentioned offering HC on any of the packages/information when it was available.

The only time it will is on the newest ones that come with it pre-installed.

Carrier devices ALWAYS recieve updates slower/last on virtually ALL android devices.
[Dell Streak 7] chamberc:
It sucks, but they never officially promised HC. We bought the device as a 2.2, and so we got what we were told we were getting. The Wi-Fi's were occasionally advertised as OTA HC coming, but the 4G never was.

I definitely would never buy or use anything from T-Mobile or Dell again, but other than being a poor customer retention experience, we got what we paid for.
[Dell Streak 7] njdev1k:
Been waiting for 3.2 on the streak 7 so I could sell it, this sucks having the T-mobile version. Love my Asus Transformer better than this paperweight. I am pissed, calling T-mobile shortly.
[Dell Streak 7] chamberc:
Let us know how your call goes with T-Mobile. Other than being unhappy with getting exactly what we paid for, I don't see that they have to or will do anything.
[Dell Streak 7] njdev1k:
Seeing as it is still warranteed, I want to see if Dell will swap it out with WiFi model and cancel T-Mobile data plan.
[Dell Streak 7] lrs421:
Not likely.
[Dell Streak 7] chrisrotolo:
lazy b4sta4rds!, they could have kept the same 4g modem info and added to wi-fi version..even if T-mobile was uninterested in paying, they could have easily made a 4G HC update for this device. Must be all about the money..

Not to worried, Not like I would have even used the damn thing or even downloaded the update for that matter..

Just would have liked official 4G firmware for DJSteve HS ROM's. Im sure the Dj's next update will support 4G somehow, so Im not too concerned..

...last damn dell thing I buy in a long time.. thats for sure..

I would post on the dell community page too, but cant seem to register as their signup page is b0rked in my IE browser @ work on XP.
[Dell Streak 7] nik29:
**** off dell and t mobile,

I bought the 4g for a service that more and now I find it less.

but how the hell you doing?

only deserve to lose customers, pieces of ****.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

Now I just hope that DJ Steve do a custom for 4g ... I hope with active calls and text messages ...

[Dell Streak 7] twillet50:
So the next question is, how do I get my hands on one of djsteve's roms? I assume that is the best way to go?
[Dell Streak 7] chamberc:
Neither company really cares. Dell is getting out of the mobility business all together (they stated just today that there would be no more Windows Phone's from them) and T-Mobile will either be taken over by AT&T or go belly up according to their parent company.

Either way, in their eyes, there is no compelling business reason to offer HC on the 4G Streak 7.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the T-Mobile ROM was quite different from the Wifi ROM. Probably not that different under the hood, but was branded, some tweaks etc..

So in that case, it's not as if Dell can push out updates to T-Mobile devices. T-Mobile would have to take the Dell HC update, do whatever it wants to, then make that available. It's the same with every branded carrier device, they don't want their customers de-branding it. If anyone is to blame here, it's T-Mobile.

This is why branding should be abstracted from the base. Not in the framework etc, but rather at a "theme" level. Custom installed apps, sure, whatever. But don't make deep changes.
[Dell Streak 7] chrisrotolo:
Its all about the money, and , screw the end user.. They dont care about us or the device they created.. ugghh... Dell trys to be "people" oriented but this behavior disgusts me.
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:

[Dell Streak 7] chamberc:

[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:

Does this mean that I can have my unit unlocked and then it will update?

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Can someone please post the dell customer service number?
[Dell Streak 7] twillet50:
I was wondering the same thing about the unlocked units sentence in their announcement.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
This is total crap. If you don't want to update it, at least post the source code so that we can make our own ROMs with the proper kernel. I echo many of the posters here: this is my last Dell and T-Mobile experience (last for each of them, not just for both of them together).
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
no it wont.

just just unlocked and tried. nothing.

and i think it is determined based on OEM number.
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
I've read in a couple of threads that one can use the US WiFi version (which does not flash the 4G modem). What I have not heard is if the resulting S7 HC can then use the 4G modem, or does the device simply become a WiFi only. I have asked for feedback but haven't seen it yet.
[Dell Streak 7] Sparkyacdc:
Bought the 4g model even before launch date. It did state that HC would be available for the ota update when it was released. I remember that very well as that is the reason I bought the tablet.
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
Plus, TMobile is still selling them on their site. They should support the update!
[Dell Streak 7] Sparkyacdc:
Spoke with a tmo tech rep earlier after going round robin with 6 dell reps. Has his personal email and he is going to forward me info about the update issue. He stated very early in the conversation that the inflow of call about this issue has been really heavy since the announcement from dell. I will post any info about this as I receive it.
[Dell Streak 7] tongueman87:

[Dell Streak 7] Sparkyacdc:
For anyone who cares, this is the email I received back from the tmo tech. "Hi i just wanted to touch base with you about the honeycomb software, all dell streak 7's will receive the update. The dell site released a statement tonight about it. No carriers are banned, all unlocked devices supported, the problem is the said they will start to send the over the air update out to customers. I did think this would be delivered on the site for dell. I was wrong. My goal tonight is to see if i can locate the update that everyone is raving for, and i will be able to provide more info saturday"

[Dell Streak 7] chrisrotolo:

[Dell Streak 7] WookieFan:
This should also work as a response to your other post about not knowing about CWM (ClockworkMod). In order to flash the US WiFi HC update, you will need to root your froyo DS7, install ROM Manager and then flash CWM.

Then you can flash the proper .zip file as "update.zip"

Explained in jiwenwang's recent post.
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
I did not see anything about having to root the 2.2.2; only instructions to install cwm.
[Dell Streak 7] Sparkyacdc:
As of today I have received no emails. If i hear anything new I will be sure to post it. I'm not one to accept a no answer. This is far from over
[Dell Streak 7] Xi2wiked:
I too have been calling dell and tmobile alot to try and figure out an alternative. I actually placed my original order for my dell streak 7 over the phone, after being guaranteed that the ds7 is was ordering was going to be getting the 3.2 ota I made the purchase. Since I got my ds7 ive called multiple times to make sure my tab would still be getting the ota, especially after the first post was made stating that only the wifi ds7's would be getting the update. During every call I made, I always recieved the same response, yes your dell streak 7 WILL be getting the honeycomb 3.2 ota update. Now when I call they just say sorry, your tablet is not one of the ones getting the update.....

Not how you treat customers...

since tmobile has lied to me in regards to the ota, pretty much pulled a bait & switch. Baiting me into buying the tablet under the impression that it would recieve an update that is not coming, I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.......
[Dell Streak 7] chrisrotolo:
absolutely, they blatanly lied to the you the consumer. Just update it Dell dont be lazy, I mean how much harder can it be if you already did the other models? It must be all about the money..

If you have been experiencing the issue where apps are denied SU permission, it appears to be related to the SU beta.

I found that by flashing the older SU that ACS put out awhile back, everything works once again. This will probably only work if you are using an uprooted kernel.

I don't have the link with me but I try to find it later. You can also check out the ACS site.
