Hello,

I have lost my provder :cry: It worked well but now I when I start my XDa it found no service.
I'm on bouygues france.

If I go to phone->network selection->manual I only see Orange or SFR.
If I try my sim card to another phone it works.
If I try a orange sim card on my XDA it works

I tried to ard reset, re-flash Rom and Radio stack ...

It seems that my XDa doesn't know any more Bouygues as a possible network.

If someone knows how I can add Bouygues as a network

Well, I don't know the MDA I, but on an MDA II there is no way to exclude a network from being found in the Manual Selection dialog.

When you say it works with an Orange SIM, do you mean it also finds Bouygues? If yes, then we can assume that the hardware is working well.

If not, then on which frequencies (900MHz/1800MHz) do these networks operate? Could it be that your phone developed a hardware problem in the RF part so that it can only work on one of the two frequencies?

It also puzzles me a bit that you say your SIM still works in another phone. Otherwise I would have said that Bouygues blocked your SIM by mistake.

Did you try only in one place? There might be the vague chance that the base station you normally use has a defect and is offline. The other phone you tried may have a better RF part and be able to log into a more distant base station, but the MDA may not. Okay, this is a very long shot, but it may be worth a try...

If you didn't do anything to your ROM before the problem appeared, then I very much doubt that it's a software problem.

Sorry I couldn't help more.

I'm confuse too.

If I put a sim card (the bouygues sim card or the orange sim card) on another phone (nokia fo exmaple), ask to select manually the network, I can see the 3 provider in france (Bouygues, SFR, Orange)

If I put a sim card on the XDA (the orange or the bouygues), ask to select manually the network I see only Orange or SFR ... no more Bouygues !!!

So I think it is not a sim card problem but a XDA problem ..? But I hard reset it !
I run out of ideas ..?

:twisted: I found !
My phone was turned to 900Mhz Band ...
Whereas Bouygues uses 900/1800Mhz
I changed it in the bootloader and it goes well :)
