Hey XDA users!
I have got a problem with my X1. I recently bought that mobile and tried to change firmware. Here is some basic information:
Sony Ericsson X1
originally branded by T-Mobile (DE)
without SIM-LOCK
I have used the T-Mobile-branded X1 with my Vodafone-SIM for about a week. I had no problems.
Then I decided to "install" firmware X1i_VFE_DE_CDF1215-0292_R2AA010 on it because I want to use some special features by Vodafone and hoped that they were included in that branded firmware. I carefully read this tutorial (link) and everything was fine. The "installation" was completed successfully.
But when I put the SIM card in it, my X1 is searching for a network operator (Vodafone DE) on and on without a result. I can neither call somebody nor use the internet.
I tried several other firmwares (non-branded too) but it's always the same: no network operator
I also tried my SIM in another mobile at the same place. It works perfectly well.
As I did not find anything via search function, please help me

maybe htc phones don't work with rather old sim cards
try getting a newer replacement

Why would it work here? I guess it's something software-based
I have the same problem but live in Sweden.
Does anyone know what could be wrong?
More data can be given, just ask what you want to know!

Hi all!
My Tilt is having a weird problem, which started all of a sudden on 7th morning.
No matter how muchever i try, the phone radio does not connect to my Mobile Network. It keeps saying "searching....." till eternity.
I was using Dutty's V4 + 1.27.12.32 radio.
All was working fine till today early morning. Around 10 am i try to connect to gprs, and i am not able to, then i do a soft reset, and then i see that my phone cannot connect to my mobile network at all. My mobile network is AIRTEL, in India. The phone keeps saying "searching..." and never stops that and hence now i am not connected to my network.
I have flashed different radio roms since morning - .17, .11, .32 again but no luck. Then i reflashed it with Schaps latest 4.33 rom (wm6), but still no result.
Then i thought maybe my sim is bad, and so i put my wife's Vodafone sim, and that worked! (Vodafone works on a different band than Airtel. this i know coz i have a SonyEricsson Mobile handset 3g-enabled of "3" from australia which works only with Vodafone in India, and not with any other network)
Then i put my sim back and it doesnt work again. While my sim is working perfect in my wife's iPhone.
can someone please help me in this, and tell me what i can do?
i wonder if the phone is somehow network locked or something like that ?
i sure did HARDSPL when i first got the TILT one month back. I have also tried flashing with WM6.1 and its respective radios, but with no success.
Please suggest what can i do to get it back up. Its really strange as its been working perfect till morning 8am.
Thanks a lot guys!
I'd go get a new SIM card and test from there.
did you try checking the phone settings to see if anything there might be the cause of the problem? there is the ability to select/override band selection in the phone settings, along with other things you can try to change.
Thanks to you, Grizzley & Somynex...
1. I did get a new simcard and still its unsuccessful.
2. Yes i tried changing the phone settings for changing the BAND, and there seems to be a problem on one of the bands.
VODAFONE works on the 800 band in india. and AIRTEL works on the other one, which is not working...
any other solutions please???
!BUMP!
Anyone got any idea on this? Please help me guys! please advise me what i can do to get it back...
COuld it be a hardware related problem?
!BUMP!
Please help guys, still looking for a solution for this problem... my fone is lying dead like this!

I have had an O2-UK branded Kaiser (O2 Stellar) phone, which is never SIM-locked, for over a year now. I flashed a few ROMs and used the phone with SIM cards from various network (both UK and foreign ones while traveling) in the past with no problem. However about a week ago, the phone function suddenly stopped working with my Orange-UK SIM card. I tried O2-UK and Three-UK SIM cards with no luck either. When I put the SIM card in, the phone can still detect the SIM change and prompt me to reconfigure the phone to the new network. But after the wizard and a reboot, it still shows "No Service". I even tried a few different ROMs available, still no luck. Until yesterday, I noticed that when I put a Vodafone UK SIM into the phone, it works. But only Vodafone UK. The O2 and Three SIM both work in other phones. I even tried KaiserUnlocker, but was told my phone is already unlocked. Does anyone know what is wrong with the phone? I did flash a new ROM a few days before the issue occurred, could that be the cause? Now no matter which ROM I use, cooked or O2/HTC official ones, nothing changes. Thanks in advance!
Try flashing some different radios, see if that helps the problem.

Thanks! I am about to try different radios listed on the page now.
Hello everyone.
I'm beat. I was up to silly o'clock this morning trying to get this thing working.
I purchased to unlocker from this site as I have no posts. I've tried many different roms and radios but I still get no service when I plonk in my o2 sim card.
I have a touch HD that was registered to the orange network that I bought off a friend of mine. I wanted it to work with o2 so I downloaded the unlocker program (paid for) and did all the updating and unlocking that entails.
I then tried a few different roms (even tried win 6.5 but my battrey was getting drained at a silly rate)
The problem I have is that whichever radio I get it's not working with my O2 sim card. I have the little G symbol but it keeps asking for data connection setting and the phone is showing no service. I have even tried radios from other phones with no luck. I'm on the offical htc 1,56,401,0 (43972) WEE rom at the moment and the 1.12.25.16 radio and I'm also getting the greenscreen at the load up but a quick on off fixes that.
I searched the forums but still no joy.
What do I have to do?
Please, you are my only hope.
Thanks in advance.
Do you have the right SPL? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217)
I used to be Orange, had it unlocked, and am now on o2 with no problems. I use 1.17 radio but I don't think that's the issue
Tried it just now.
Thanks for the advice.
Tried the HSPL Wrapper on that thread, updated the radio to 1.17 but it's still showing no service. Any other ideas?
Thanks again.
did you try put another sim card inside the phone?
I just have O2 cards atm. Still now joy though.
I am a failure.
I've just done a cracking stew in the slow cooker. First time making dumplins. I can rebuild and format a PC in less that two hours but this thing has got me beaten. I suppose I could use it for an e-book reader.
I've now got SPL-1.56.Olnex on there with the blackstonehenge Rom.
and 1.17.25.09 radio but it still won't connect.
If anyone has any better ideas I will make them some stew and dumplins. Geographical location allowing, and if the gf lets me have friends round.
Thanks anyways.

i think the OP said that they have bought this already
i used to be on orange, now on O2.
how old is the O2 simcard? i think this is the most likely cause
Yes, I already purchased the unlocker. I also tried a newer sim card that was a Christmas present. I'll nip out today and get a 99p sim card from another network. Any suggestions which would be best?
Works with vodaphone
Yes, it registers and works with a vodaphone simcard. It also works with t-mobile but I can't send or recive calls on that (mightbe a sim thing with a need to top up or something) But a new o2 PAYG sim card and my old one still bringing up no service.
Anyone got any suggestions about any manual settings I can do?
Cheers,
henshu

Your operator does have any rom for Touch HD on their site? If it does, try it and see if it works.
Also read this page, seems to be an O2 rom for Blackstone devices http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Versions .
This page may be usefull too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444170

Hi henshu. Have you tried checking your band settings. Make sure they all are set to Auto. Tap on phone then options then band.
Hello,
Since a couple of days i have a T5388++ dual sim with WM6.5.
I have ROM c03.021.01 eng
So far I am satisfied, but there is one thing i cannot get to work.
My internet (Vodafone Live from the Netherlands) will not work.
I have tried the settings from the vodafone site, with and without proxy, but there is no connection.
I have selected the good sim.
I hope some one can help me with this.
There is a second thing:
In programs there were 2 icons for the SIM cards, where some settings could be made for sms mms and things like that.
I have only one icon now, but both sims work perfectly. Is this a known problem?
Thank you
Erik de Wit
I've got the same problem, with some of the rom's it seems impossible to connect to Vodafone Live. For example the NL Cheetah 3.5 rom.
With other roms it is possible to download the configuration for Vodafone business or Vodafone NL, with this one the option business disapears. (This only show up when you try to download te connection setting from the menu "Instellingen-Gegevensverbinding).
Is there anyone with a Vodafone business contract that can connect with Vodafone Live on a WM6.5 rom?
As far as I know, Diamond2 does not have dual SIM...
T5388++ looks like... another clone...

Hello Erik,
I see you have the same phone like me and a newer firmware version. Can you verify the number because I have c03.020.01 eng which looks very simular? Do you know where to download the firmware?
