HTC Desire can't connect to mobile operator. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have rooted my htc desire and flashed with it with Oxygen.
However I have a problem - my phone will not connect to my mobile operator?
When I select "about phone > status > signal strength" that shows -93db and 10asu - So does that mean there is signal?
The desire was branded and locked to Orange. At first I thought it was a simlock issue, but I have a unlock code. Every time I restart the device it asks me to input the code, however it still does not allow me to connect to my operator (O2 uk).
After going through a few threads I am stumped so I am seeking advice! I have tried different radio versions to no avail, different ROMs also so can anyone offer some suggestions as to the solution please?
Anyhelp would greatly be appreciated, thanks!

1. Reset/restore your APN
settings - wireless & network - mobile networks - access points
You should see your provider and a check box. Press the menu button, select reset to standard and wait till it's done (or add manually).
The path was translated from german, so please look for the appropriate setting on your phone.
2. If your sd card doesn't mount or usb doesn't connect, search for usb brick fix here in the forum.
3. If 1 or 2 doesn't help, wipe everything (not your sd card!) and reflash your rom. After rebooting flash again the latest radio.

thanks for the responses, I have tried resetting apn but that did not work for me. I have however managed to solve this problem by restoring stock RUU and unrooting. I then reflashed oxygen and all is working fine.
My radio version is running on 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09 currently, however I will update this to the latest version 5 radio and see if my connection or simlock occurs. Do you guys think that a radio update is necessary or that I should keep the one that I have now?
Thanks

any chance you could post how you restored stock ruu

Please Help !!!

I have just recently got an G4 xda exec, fully unlocked and i have upgraded to TML 8.7.1 and i have also got a 3 sim, but when i put my 3 sim card in the device it says that it is an orange sim
I have tried with my other sim card and that is perfect but it is not a 3g sim so i really want 3g to work
Any Ideas ???
Have you run the Connection Setup? I can't remember if TML871 has built one in his ROM or if it's auto-run. Either way, if you run it again, you should be able to select 3sim instead of orange.
Trying that now, it did have that setting, and i have not tried that one before
EDIT: I have tried to do that, it still says orange and when i go into the connection setup it says error with the database
I have had another look at it and it shows that i am on roming signal, but when i was on wm5 it showed UTMS when i put the sim in, so if it is just my signal or not i do not know
but thanks for the help anyway
ALls I can think is to try a different ROM, and see if it's a problem with Tomal's ROM. It would switch to roaming if it can't find your network and goes through another one (eg Orange). Are you still using the same Radio that you did with WM5? Perhaps you should try another Radio - people seem to like 1.15.
Or... find a .CAB with your network settings and just install by hand. I had some problems with settings provided in various ROMs, so always carry Voda NZ .CAB on my SD. Just in case
i have tried using different settings, so i am now trying a different 6.1 ROM to see if it is a problem with this rom
Thanks for everyone's help
I Have been able to fix the problem, i have used the AllmostOfficial 1.2 Professional rom and I went into the phone options and then network and manually selected 3 off the list in preferred networks and added it onto the list and now it works
Thanks for everyone's help and support as well as the good availability of the site.

[Q] Network not allowed issue

Hi,
Since a couple of days my Desire won't register on the GSM network. The sim is working fine if I put it in another phone, so that's not an issue.
The message I get when trying to manually choose my network is "Your simcard does not allow a connection to this network"?!
After some browsing on the web it seems that this happens sometimes but I cannot find a way to get it resolved. One of the tricks should be to manually toggle the network mode to GSM only or WCDMA only. The strange thing is that when I try that the phone instantly swithes back to GSM/WCDMA auto. To manually change network mode is not possible. Is this an indicator that something is wrong?
I have tried to re-flash the rom, installing the latest radio, toggeling flight mode on/off, etc.
What else can I do get it resolved?
Currently running my rooted Desire with:
LeeDroid 3.0.7
Radio 5.17.05.23
Appreciate the support!
Thx!

I think you should try the offical RUU .. than you can make out if it is a hardware problem or software.. make sure to prepare all thing while your phone is in working state, before flashing offical RUU make sure u have usb debbuging enabled, adb driver working. and a goldcard..

Cyanogenmod 7 cannot connect via mobile data

I am having issue in connecting mobile data, although I have the "data enabled" option ticked, but there is no mobile data icon appears on the status bar.
I googled and tried lots of apn setting for my carrier however none of them can solve my problem. I have done the "search automatically" method under network operators. Also, I have tried flash newer cyanogenmod nightly and other radio version over my original cyagenmod rom, but none of these help.
Please advice on how could I get my mobile data working again.

I am facing the same issue . Any one knows wat could resolve this??
which radio version r u having????
Hope I can help you
Quoted from CM7's official thread for HTC wildfire (Buzz):
If you have any issues with GPS, 3G or any other network issues, try flashing the following radio firmware. NB, it's not possible to flash this zip from ClockworkMod 3, so if you have this version installed, use ROM Manager to flash it instead.

I deactivated my 3G subscription. Deleted the APN. Activated 3G subscription. Recreated the APN and voila I am connecting via 3G. I hope this would help others facing this issue as well.

Hi,
I have tried all three radio versions, flashed all 3 of them several times for the last 3-4 days but I am still not able to enable the functions of GPS & Mobile Data (Internet) on my rooted HTC Wildfire. Currently I am running Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1.
I am really going crazy over this. In google maps, location is found only while using wi-fi. With GPS location is not found although the GPS icon comes in status bar. Mobile internet doesnt work at all.
Please help.

As a last resort (this will do a clean wipe of all data) -
Run an RUU for your phone
- Downloaded from android forums.
- Connect phone to PC and run RUU
- This downgrads phone OS to eclair (android 2.1)
- Let it do the bizniss
- Re-root with unrevoked 3
- Re-Flash CM7 and gApps

[Q] No Mobile Internet after Unexpected Reboot

Hi Guys,
Hopefully someone may be able to help me diagnose the problem that I have been having since yesterday!
Phone: HTC Desire HD
Carrier: T-Mobile UK
Rom: Android Revolution HD 6.3.2
Radio: 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M (Flashed after fault)
ENG S-OFF
Was talking away on the phone with full 3G signal and all of a sudden had an unexpected reboot. Waited for the phone to come back up and resumed my phone call. Later noticed that I had no mobile internet connection at all. The signal is also extremely weak now, SMS often will not send all call distortion is high.
Below is a list of all the steps I have attempted to rectify this:
1. Removed battery and SIM for 1 minute & checked / cleaned all contacts inc ariel
2. Removed APN settings and added new details from T-Mobile website
3. Tried different SIM on another carrier - same result
4. Complete wipe and re-flash of Android Revolution HD 6.3.2 - no change
5. Changed to ENG S-OFF and updated radio to recommended 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M - no change
I have attached some images that may help identify the issue.
I would be grateful if anyone would be able to help, not sure what else I can try... Is it possible that the phones DATA module has given up all together?
Many Thanks

[Q] HTC Desire will not find network without searching or save APN

Hi Guys.
I have searched for this issue but cannot find anything specific to my case.
I have a rooted HTC Desire running InsertCoin and recently changed my phone network (new SIM) to Sure a relativity new phone network in Jersey (Cable and Wireless). When the SIM was first put in the phone connected to network but would not send SMS (error straight away). I checked the APN list and this was blank. I got the APN settings from the website and tried to add these (getting warning cannot detect SIM) but it would not save.
SIM works fine in Galaxy Nexus Stock 4.3 and S3 using CM11 - cannot to network and APNs visible + text/data works.
So I installed CM7 and CM10.1 and with these the phone would not connect to the network at first. However when I do in to search for networks a couple of times it finds SURE and connects. Adding APN gives no error messages but this will not save. Using APN tools from play store they say "You SIM card cannot be used" Sim state "UNKNOWN" + cannot detect operator code etc so it seems to be an issue reading some of the SIM. But when connected to network I can make calls and receive texts. I have tried messing with the GSM only, auto WCDMA settings in phone information and makes no difference.
I am on baseband 5.11.05.27.
Any ideas what could be causing these issues? I really think its an issue with the phone reading 'some' data from the SIM. The phone shop said we do sometimes have these issues with older phones and i should change my phone
Any help appreciated!

BUMP as I really need help - cannot send SMS or get data
Any ideas - should i try different radio?
Firstly upgrade radio to the latest one, as the one you have is not the latest. Secondly, try latest evervolv nightly, as it is based on kitkat and maybe it will help. Try these and post results.

Hi there,
Thanks for these suggestions - it has taken me a while because of USB driver issues but I have finally flashed the latest Radio 5.17.05.23 with a Stock HTC ROM and this did not make any difference - still says No SIM card when opening APNs. Then flashed to latest Evervolv 4.4 and just like CM before it will not let me save APNs and actually says 'No SIM card - C&W" on the lock screen.
Any other ideas - really seems like the phone cannot read the SIM properly. Works fine with other SIMs and the SIM works fine in other phones. Have 2 x HTC desires and same issue so must be problem with this model?!
Thanks
Bridgstfer
No other thoughts guys? Is this just a weird one where the HTC is too old?
