Cannot register network!!!

PLEASE HELP I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING EVERYONE I CAN BUT NOBODY REPLIES.

I recently unlocked my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) from Orange

Everything went fine during the process.

However I get a notification which says 'Operator is not in database' or words to that effect.

And I cant connect to Vodafone network- "cannot Register network...blah, blah"

If I go...

Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connection Setup, under Select Operator Country = UK and Operator = Orange. The thing is Only 'Orange' shows up under the Operator: drop down?

Can anyone help me please?

I am at the end of my tether!

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Have you tried updating the database?

Settings -> Connection Setup -> from the right Menu select Update Database.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] juhalhamid:
Have you tried updating the database?

I do not have an update database option here-

It only says "Select operator" and beneath this is the drop down menus "country"-UK " and "Operator"- only has orange

Blackstone network error

Hello anybody know???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] iffyhd:
hey juhal,

install the attached cab file ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] iffyhd:
hey makbil,

thanks for helping me out. I updated the database using a cab file I found on the forum. Connection settings then successfully picked up my operator (3) and country (UK).

However, the roaming symbol persisted. I then though this might be down to Orange Shipped rom my HD is running and perhaps that was doing something funny in the background. So I decided to flash a HTC Shipped rom so that my device was now totally un-branded. Even this hasnt done the trick!!

The roaming symbol is still there!! Interestingly, the device seems to flip between roaming and non-roaming, but its done this the whole time from the begining.

I'm just totally confused and have no idea why its doing this!

Someone please help :(

@Olipro

Dont understand one thing.

My device is security Locked and with radio 1.13.

I updated from Miri's to Dutty's R2 Leo rom. How come my radio update to 1.14 without securitu unlocking?

Am confused.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] UNOPARATOR:
Because radio 1.14 is officially released by HTC in their latest Blackstone ROMs...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Latest official radio released is 1.14 which comes with Throys latest roms built in. So if you flash his rom you automatically flash that radio. You do not need you phone to be security unlocked for official release radio's, ony radio's not meant for the HD
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] UNOPARATOR:
What happens if one have security unlocked Blackstone with Radio 1.16 installed and then updates with the dutty (or some other's cook radio 1.13 or 1.14 included) ROM? Will it downgrade radio to 1.13/1.14 (whichever included with the ROM) or leaves 1.16 as it is because of its version number being higher?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Yes, your radio will be downgraded and you would need to reflash 1.16 radio again after flashing rom. Same thing happened to me after flashing Throys R2 Leo rom which had 1.14 included in flash.

Your device is in flight mode or.....

Hi Olipro and many thanks for your great GUI unlocker.

I've bought your program and managed to complete step 1. Trying to unlock the radio but I get a message: "Your device is in flight mode or the IMEI must be purchased".

Could you please suggest resolution?

MOD EDIT: Removed IMEI from post - posting it in public is unwise.

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
drop me a PM if it's still playing up.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
simple, you can flash any Blackstone radio without a security unlock.

free unlock for blackstone

Since from 1th of september every gsm provider has to unlock devices by request of clients I wonder if Olipro would give us the unlock program for free.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
oh yeah? and what country are you from? Sealand?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sigovan:
free unlocking

Romanian telecom regulator ANCOM signed a code of conduct with several Romanian carriers that starting September 1, 2009 mobile operators selling handsets locked within their own network have to inform clients whether the handset is locked and provide unlocking upon request. It is a "self-regulation" by the carriers to prevent the regulator to actually impose regulations on them. If the handset is not purchased together with other electronic communications services, the mobile telephony operator that sells it will bear the unlocking costs and will not bind the terminal unlocking by the purchase of other services or by the payment of other fees. If the handset is purchased as part of a promotional package or at a preferential price and the customer requires the unlocking before the expiry of the minimum period provided in the contract for communications services concluded with the operator, the customer will have to pay both the unlocking fee and the penalty for the anticipated unlocking of the handset. The price charged to unlock handsets will not exceed the costs of this operation and operators are obliged to meet unlocking requests within 15 days.[
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I'm a little sceptical about this, and even if this was true it would only be sim unlock & not security unlock which this tool also provides
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sigovan:
free unlocking

It's an European Community Directive that stands for mobile number portability in every network.

So portability is useless if the device is locked by the gsm provider.

Check EU site for gsm directives and you could see that a lot of European countries begin to unlock devices by clients demand.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
here's teh tricky part (the small print):

basically, subsidized phones don't receive the unlocking service free (and obviously, most sim locked phones are bought subsidized). plus, it says you have to wait up to 15 days. if we take all this into account, the whole thing is not new at all, especially in countries like the UK (where most providers would unlock your phone for 15-20GBP and a few weeks, even before now). perhaps it's new in Romania (and Hungary too).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
the basic deal is - if you bought the phone with some sort of tie-in (generally a contract), then the provider will charge you for the whole amount up front and occasionally an additional "administrative fee" if you want to unlock it with them... not that it should stop you trying of course.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] walkergeri:
i did it and its fine because now i can flash all the next coming Radio Roms :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
yeah, that's the other thing I didn't explain much above. nice small print :P
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Matthes42:
unable to make an interet connection

Any suggestion welcome:

at step 2 there is an error says :

unable to make an internet connection , perhaps you have a firewall running.

I´ve closed my firewall, disabled the antivirus software und ran the unlocker as administrator under vista.

I´ve seen the question here already but there wasn´t any answer

:confused:

Edit:

got it working instead of Vista I took a virtual machine under XP and it worked
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] JLowe:
What about this "security unlock" if you bought the Touch HD without any SIM-Card/contract and use a Prepaid Sim which doesn't have a Simlock. Are these Blackstones have also the "security lock"? If so, why?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Matthes42:
Read the first post!!!

There is described what kinds of locks can be removed with this tool and wher the locks are used for.

Unlocked htc

Hi guys I posted a message a few pages back.

I have been trying to sort this for about a week to no solution.

My phone was locked to orange but is now unlocked using the Olipro Blackstone unlocker.

I have used Orange Sim-3 Sim and t-mobile sim and all work. But I actually need it on vodafone.

But everytime I switch the phone on it just does not connect to vodafone- and if i try manually connecting it say "Cannot register with network..blah blah"

Please help me someone!!!!!!!!!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
make sure the vodafone SIM card is 3g compatible
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] juhalhamid:
HTC not working on vodafone

aye!!

it is and works fie on my old phone, I have a suspicion it is either the firmware or more likely the radio patch?

can i flash back to an original htc unbranded firmware and radio patch which havent been tampered with? if so- how to flash? as all the threads point to files but i cant actually ever get them to run as most say something like "file is not a program, use a valid program to run file".
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] juhalhamid:
Now working on Vadafone UK

sorry guys and especially you oliprio. Turns out im an idiot- i found the rom update 1.56 from the wiki page and figured it out(was quite simple actually).

It now works on vodafone!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!

Anyway i have one problem

when i first flashed the phone with an unofficial rom i ended up getting a blue/green graphics during startup of the phone. To get rid of this i always have to press the power key in order to keylock then unlock and then the graphics come out fine.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent this?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I'm kinda surprised you never noticed the section in wiki regarding Green screen issues after flashing, especially as you mentioned you were reading the wiki.

This is a common issue due to having wrong SPL for whatever rom your using.

HSPL 1.14 is to be used on roms based on pre 1.56

HSPL 1.56 is to be used on roms based on 1.56+

If your using USPL, you should have an SPL 1.54.0000 and then re-use USPL to get SPL v 1.15.USPL before flashing rom.

Follow this guide and you'll be fine
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] juhalhamid:

Hi Guys

I've just successfully SIM unlocked my blackstone using Olipro's SIM/Sec/CID tool. Excellent - all went smooth even using Vista x64.

My aim is to flash the phone with the Dutty 6.5 ROM.

I'm looking at the additional options on Olipro's phone app...

Q1. Do I need to Security unlock too?

Q2. Do I need to set the CID (Country ID?) from 'ORANG001' to some other value?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Cabello123
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
er, what is the *exact* error text and *when* does it come up?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
1: if you want, it is a nice extra to flash some other radios etc.

2: no need, just if you like having true supercid (for hackers it's cool).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
1. You do not need to security unlock your device to flash roms. Security unlock enables you to flash radio's which were not meant for the HD like these

2. There is no need for this
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
well, if he goes back to stock ROMs then it enables you to flash any official ROM... though yeah, it's really just a relic from the days of the universal :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Appreciate the better explanation...I'm becoming lazy :eek:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
yeah, I should actually add, don't try topaz or rhodium radios though.

regarding those, most people wouldn't run into trouble of course because of the different modelid in NBH.

(this is also why HSPL must not have modelid check entirely removed)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
Topaz, Rhodium, Jade, Iolite... and any of the other 72xx based devices.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cabello123:
Thanks Guys for the good advice - I security unlocked but left the CID as above.

I then flashed:

RUU_Dutty's_HD_WM6.5_Leo_2_5.2.23016.5.0.3_1.59.709.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.14.25.24_R2_MSVC

This went smoothly and works great - love the new features of 6.5 and Leo.

My alarm went off this morning with a great new sound and I no longer had to try and hit the 1mm icon with my finger nail to turn it off! I nice large iphone style panel came up - nice. Also setting the alarm can now be done with ease using the enlarged touch screen pads. Just some of the nice enhancements.

My only gripe is on booting, the WM boot graphics are fine pixalated in a green yellow distortion. This carries over into the booted PPC. The Leo is on top of this distortion and is just usable.

After a while it sorts it's self and all is fine. Phone, Youtube etc works a treat. I installed codewallet pro 6 and works fine.

If anyone knows about the boot-up graphics problem I would appreciate the knowledge.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
you need to match the SPL version with the ROM version. I suppose dutty's rom needed a different HSPL, check the HSPL thread for more info, also check the cook's instructions on which SPL it is compatible with.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vdude_1:

if you know how to read correctly, if you are a contributor, you get it for free.

if you are not, you pay only if you want to. there's no obligation. you unlock it only if you want it.

i think someone else is going to be banned here.

INMH...

Your comment is very rude and inappropriate!!!

First thing olipro allready provide us a free oportunity to flash our hd's:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=431217

Second thing if you need SIM Unlock for Touch hd nobody says that IT MUST BE FREE just because we need it... we also need the TOUCH HD... did someone gave your device for free???

Conclusion: there are some great people arround here who are accepting to give us for free and only if we feel like give some donation, their hard work and their time, because this programs don't just apear on this forum, you know???!!!

Have a great day... and think about...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I've deleted comments from one user due to offensive attitude & language. Can I remind all to abide by forum rules. Any further posts will result in a 3 day ban.

Olipro has already explained in first post that this tool is free to people who have contributed to the XDA community or have donated directed to XDA. If you are unhappy with this, don't post your frustations on this thread as you'll likely get your post deleted, receive a warning and/or have a 3 day break from this site. If you are unhappy, PM me or another mod and we'll happily discuss the matter.

Great unlocking service

Thanks Olipro, :D

i used the service and bought directly from your site and all went very smoothly indded and my HTC Touch HD is now free from the evil of orange.

i received the link to the software within seconds which was fantastic.

for all the people who don't want to pay, just pay the price and get on with it, its worth every penny.

he has provided free software for you to change your rom, if that not enough and you want your phone unlocked without paying then maybe you should have considered buying an unlocked phone in the first place and paying well over the odds for it.

it just amazes me how you tighta$$es have such an expensive device but cant part with just £10 which is at least 3 times cheaper than any phone shop would charge you at least.(and they would be using olipros service anyway to unlock your phone)

at least the stupidity is entertaining and gotta love olipro's straight up responses which have made me laught a lot.

i have email you oli about bulk prices for unlocking too, hope to hear from you soon

Thanks again

As much as I appreciate your comments, plain refrain from using offensive language.

Dear friend,

I am from Afghanistan, and i have got a Orange locked HTC Touch HD; i am using it right now with our Afghanistans Mobile service providers which is not orange.

I think it is not sim locked and i can upgrade ROM as well, but as you mentioned security unlocked devices have a text (security unlocked) in bootloader screen which is not appeared in my device.

And now i want to unlock it completely and need your help in regards, If i am not wrong its only me in this forum who is from Afghanistan, and as you know because of past 25 years of WAR our country is not so developed and here is not any kind of credit card is available for people, I wish, and i can pay for this tool but really here is no option available to pay online.

I am really helpless in this regards,

If you feel that i am really right then this is my E-Mail (mehmarine@msn.com)

I am a Regional Administration officer in an International NGO.

I really can afford the price but options are not available, If you have any other option for payment methods please feel free to explain,

Regards

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Because the Forum does not allow warez and the unlocker was Olipro's unlocker (by your admission, your link was broken). He chose to sell the unlocker to prevent others from selling his work for their profit.

Dave
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] And_One:
Maybe now we will begin sell custom ROM???

Never free app. - It is a policy corp. Microsoft and Itunes Store!))))
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
XDA doesn't allow payment for ROMs.

It's MS / HTC IP, selling it could lead to all sorts of legal problems.

Dave
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] And_One:
But Unlock (which it is possible to name fimware) sell!

Sorry for my english
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Everyone sells unlockers and customers expect to pay for them, so by taking a free unlocker and charging for the service someone can make a lot of money. Most of the unlocking companies buy the unlock codes. So the amount they the make isn't profit some of what you make has to pay for the codes, however, selling a free unlocker means you get 100% profit.

Any why should someone make a small fortune from Olipro's work.
