hey all,

I've been with the xda I from the very beginning and have always upgraded the roms to newer versions. However, a few months ago I was happy with my 2003 and didn't upgrade.

When TomTom stopped working I thought a nice new upgrade was in order and I cooked up a new rom and installed it. I played around with it, and I think (don't remember anymore) that I've touched the band tab.

Since then I have not been able to get a signal or find a network AT ALL. I have tried everything.
I couldn't install through the normal way anymore, so I resorted to SD-installing.
Spent days here with xda-tools, tried every rom version, even installed official radio stack again. Nothing helps. I have tried selecting the band at the wallaby menu. No go!!

I'm very afraid that I've messed it up.
I will boot into the OS, but no signal. With some roms it will give me the phone setup, with most it won't.

Right now I have the german t-mobile installed. It just says: no service.

Some (current) stats:
Wallaby bootloader 5.14
R 4.21.00
Protocol: 32S54
4.01.19 GER

Is my XDA I lost??
Some pointers would be great! I'm out of idea's. :oops:

Regards,
Ruurd

I've had this recently - the way around it is simple, assuming you know what band your network provider is on.

Go to the bootloader menu (soft reset and power button), and select the band on there. I had "no service" on Orange, until I selected "1800" on the menu that is, and hey presto, working phone!

:D

I had tried that already, and it didn't work.
However, I just did it again (tried out all combinations) and yes, it did work!
