Hmmm looks like you may have flashed a Branded ROM for another provider which I didn't thik had any effect on provider locks. But in the lack of help from anywhere else you could always try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748105 which is what I did on my Virgin Mobile UK Branded and locked phone. SOrry I cant help further
[Desire General] Ramshanker:
You could buy an unlock code online..That should sort it.
[Desire General] kirbz:
It looks like your using an incompatible radio. Which version are you using? To find out go to settings - about phone then it should be baseband version?
[Desire General] ChemicalKicks:
Don't want to pay if I can lol

No can do, can't get into the phone at all.

I'm trying to install the Froyo update from the SD card as posted by jamesmcuk, currently installing so I'll post back what happens. :)
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
fingers crossed for you mate!!!!!!!!
[Desire General] ChemicalKicks:
Wanted to post back, thanks for the great advice. Hope this thread cones in useful for someone else.

Got a fully up to date Droid, didn't have to pay Orange for the Network unlock code either lol
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
really pleased mate well done! Its scary **** when you may have to pay out for the bugger lol
[Desire General] SiL3nTKiLL:
good advice in this thread :)
[Desire General] steve228uk:
Got it up and running yet?

If not, take the SIM out and find the software version in settings. If it's something like:

x.xx.405.x

then you have an unbranded ROM which most people have had issues with with Orange phones. You could try updating to Froyo if the OTA update is still available as that should flash a working radio or just buy an unlock code for about a tenner that would be best in the long run.
[Desire General] kirbz:
Just to let you know that the latest radio is compatible with orange (I have it) its 5.09.00.20. Shouldn't sim lock your phone. Good luck. Hope you get it sorted.
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
This post says that he sorted it.
[Desire General] ant130979:
i am sure its an incorrect radio take your sim out and you should have access , i ended up rooting the device using revoke one click method very easy just follow carfully then i installed a custom rom and a new radio

this is the orange one for bootloader 0.75 "update-bravo-radio-32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11-signed" all working great the rom i used was "Official_FroYo_Market_fixed"

hope this helps actually just upgraded radio to 5.09 with no problem
[Desire General] ChemicalKicks:
Yeah got this sorted peeps.

Didn't mess around looking up radio's or anything like that.

This is what happened to me.

1. Debranded Orange Desire from 2.1update1 to Generic 2.1

2. Upgraded OTA from Generic 2.1 to 2.1update1

3. Was offered and accepted update to Froyo

4. Got error saying SIM locked unlock sim

5. Put Froyo ROM onto SD card and loaded it via recovery

6. Enjoyed having the last laugh over Orange technical support :D

Thank you to jamesmcuk who's post (I think it was 4 or 5) resolved my problem, would suggest the same process to anyone else who had the same problem that I had.

On another note, how do I check what radio version I have and if it's upto date?
[Desire General] steve228uk:
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information and it's the 'Baseband version'.
[Desire General] ChemicalKicks:
32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 is that good?

There are no differences except that you can use applications that require root. That is all, it only installs one extra command called "su" which enables you to run apps as root.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isaw:
Hey guys,

Been searching on this for a whle and haven't found the info I'm looking for.

How does the custom APPS2D actually work? By that I mean, what is it really doing? I know it's copying the app(s) to the partitioned ext2/3/4 area of the sdcard, but how does it know *what* part of the app to move as it seems something is always left on the phone.

I'm currently running AdamG's OpenDesire 3.0.5 (nice) and thanks to the script provided by msdl28712 in this thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748529, I can see that APPS2SD is saving me "188MB". Pretty nice.

But my internal memory is still going down. I started out at about 148MB I think. I'm currently at about 115MB free. Of course, that's fantastic - but it sort of suggests that, even though I've downloaded loads of apps to the sd card, they will always leave some footprint/config/data on the internal memory of various sizes (as I can see it on my info page).

So really, I am still quite limited in the number of apps I can store. Even though I gave myself a nice big 4gb ext4 partition, I'll still hit a limit because of the footprint data left behind on the phone's int memory even after "copying to SD".

Is this right or am I way off?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcuk:
Although I have no Actual knowledge of what you ask I will say this. The phone needs to be able to function if there is a SD card installed or not and therefore it must have info about the apps installed in the phone memory. I would imagine its very similar to windows and the windows registry. The registry will always be stored on the windows (Phone) storage and the program resources can be anywhere. Therefore when you install an app there will always be a small amount of phone storage required to link to and handle the operations of that program.

All in my opinion.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnrbrown1968:
Some apps, not all, I've found in multiple places on my Eris.

I found it strange that the market wasn't consistently placing them in both places ( actually, that's a good thing, cause it would eat double the space ), but that led me to believe that the developer who wrote whichever particular app that was being stored in 2 location, wrote it to store to additional "backup" location ...

For example, say you download an item from the Android market, and it puts it in the "data\app" folder location. Well, I'd also find another copy in the root of the "cache\" folder ....

The way I found this, was I wondering where the heck all my memory was going, especially since I'd recently installed/uninstalled some various music player apps, but the space wasn't being freed up. I went digging through various folders looking for items, and low and behold, started finding the duplicately stored APK files. I started removing them, and I've monitored that files contents on a regular basis since, which has helped.

What A2SD? A2SD+, A2SD Froyo?

Found a nice explanation on CM Wiki... can't find it now though...

but there's always short explanation by MIUI Au..if you wanna give it a tryy

http://www.miui-au.com/faq/a2sd/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
First of all you are answering a quite old thread(hint: 8th august)

Second to clarify no, the app is not installed to several locations.. The apk file in the cache is just the one, that the market downloads in order to install it(hint: cache) upon installation the file is placed in the /data/app folder or in case you are using a2sd/a2sd+ it will be placed in /sd-ext/app(the phone still think it is in /data/app, but it wont take up space on the /data partition)

After the installation the downloaded .apk file is sometimes left behind, but as the /cache partition have a fixed size, this won't take up any space for app installs(/data) when the space is needed on the cache partition for another download or something else, the file is eventually deleted.

edit: for people, who want to know the answer to OP, please search I and many others have wrote it over and over again in this very forum.

+Evo = downgrade
[Vibrant General] Mark271:
Fortunately enough, most users that browse these forums are educated enough to know the Evo is a downgrade from the Vibrant.

I would rather go buy a standalone GPS than buy an Evo for its GPS and have every other feature worse.

Call me crazy.
[Vibrant General] Maxy6:
Sorry, a moderator is free to lock/delete this thread, but I maintain that it's useful to know what other phones are capable of. (For some people, this will be their first Android device and there is nothing to compare it to. For me, switching phones was certainly an eye-opener.)

Before I got the Evo, I only had the G1 to compare to the Vibrant. The G1 took longer to see the satellites but could reliably fix on nearly all of them. The Vibrant occassionally could fix on 4 or 5, but never persistantly more than 1 or 2, and then only after a long delay.

The Evo consistently sees more satellites, fixes on all them, keeps the fix, and does so instantly. Using navigation while driving, the Vibrant will have a large blue circle of uncertainty, sometimes spanning several major roadways or even cities, and then becomes disoriented, spinning out on curves. On the same route, the Evo can differentiate even closely spaced parallel roads and immediately sensing turns.

It's too bad, I wanted to stay with a GSM phone and the Vibrant, even for its objective lack of features vis-a-vis the Evo, had a certain 'gestalt' that made it loveable in a way that the Evo could never be. Unfortunately, Navigation is one of the most impressive features of Android and it simply fails on the Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] StefanB86:
Good to know you found a "fix" for your problem, but next time think before posting something useless. Got here for a possible solution and there's just a stupid misleading post.

I feel your frustration, brothers and sisters--and, as I said, moderators are free to do whatever with this thread--but in the long run I think that complaints like this are part of the grassroots efforts that will help you see a fix (if one is indeed possible) or a recall/replacement/refund come sooner.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Maxy6. You know this "GPS problem" was resolved weeks ago on the dev forums. These threads don't help, its a new phone... nothing is going to be perfect. It is a firmware problem and Samsung is releasing a fix on the next firmware update.

This wouldn't be a reasonable fix anyway because most of us are in a contract and Evo is on another network. Especially when switching to another phone isn't a relevant fix.

First, the problems are not resolved, in any way - the work-around, temporarily works, for some ppl. That's not a "fix," by any measure.

Second - instead of just the GPS, toss out some of these 'objective' features the Evo has, so we can all become as enlightened. Larger (lower quality) screen, and workable GPS... go on, what else?

It is so incredibly hard to avoid breaking the "do not flame" rule sometimes.
[Vibrant General] Maxy6:
OK, OK, I changed the title. FWIW, here are my thoughts Vibrant vs. Evo (for those who may be considering a comparison):

1. GPS - Evo works. Vibrant doesn't. Winner: Evo

2. OS - Vibrant should be faster, but it isn't, at least subjectively. Evo has FroYo, which is probably a factor. Evo's official FroYo release has a bug with syncing multiple Gmail accounts, but not in the same league as the GPS issues. Winner: Evo

3. Battery life - Vibrant much better, but it was also unpredictable and occasionally drained rapidly while doing GPS freezes and reboots. Evo has extended batteries available. Winner: Vibrant (but closer than it should be).

4. Construction/Feel - Evo is much more solid, has soft grip feel, seems better made. Vibrant size, weight, form factor are more appealing. Winner: tie

5. Touchwiz v. Sense - No comparison. Sense is far more polished, preserves more of a sense of Android features (calendar, custom ringtones), and has tremendous variety of widgets. Swype (only on Vibrant) is also nice (though can be found illicitly for Evo). Winner: Evo

6. Screen - No comparison. Vibrant is much nicer, but does suffer from blue tint (on some of them, but not all of them, as I've seen different units side-by-side). Bigger screen is easier to use on Evo. Winner: Vibrant

7. Network - Can't roam internationally on Sprint. Theoretical security problems on GSM. T-Mobile's top speeds are theoretically greater and will soon be even faster. Coverage is better on Sprint for me. (Strangely, no T-Mobile 3G where I live--the same city (Bellevue, WA) as T-Mobile America's headquarters). Winner: Tie

8. Extras: Evo has front-facing camera (not sure I'll ever use this), notification LEDS (but sadly don't work with Gmail Notifier application), camera light LEDS (a definite bonus). Easy winner: Evo

9. Buying American (if that's important to you): Tricky call. Both are foreign made. EVO internals from an American-based company. Vibrant's hummingbird processer ultimately an American design (if I have it correct). T-Mobile's parent is not American, Sprint is. Winner: Tie.

Bottom line: HTC is clearly ahead on the learning curve, yet I find the Vibrant to be the overall more appealing product. That's why I bought it. But, I also travel a lot and I want a working (or at least reliable GPS). The trade-off for me in switching (and I had no contract considerations to deal with, as I have multiple lines for business and family on both carriers), was loss of international roaming and battery life, which at this point, bother me less than paying for a defectively engineered (or at least prematurely released) product.

1. Thanks for the crappy fix.

2. For crying out loud, no point in comparing OS. There is obviously no comparison when doing Eclair vs Froyo. Froyo will always win.

3. It's obvious that it will drain when using GPS. Extended batteries don't count.

4. Okay.

5. Both are the same. Custom design from manufacturers. None of them "preserves" the original Android.

6. Okay.

7. Depends where you are.

8. Okay.

9. Buying American? :rolleyes: Wow, just wow. I'm sure you have a Ford/Chevy too, huh?
