No Service

[lambjer]

Hi All,

last friday I upgraded my Hermes to Black 2.0. Everything was working fine. This week I'm in Morroco for my job (I normally live in France) and I can't register to any phone network. I tried automatic network selection, nothing. I tried manual selection, I can find the network (i.e MEDITEL) but I can't register to the network ( I get an error message saying that registration could not be applied through the network). I tried several ROM, to no avail.
My current configuration is :

ROM : Hermes WWE 3.24.04
Radio : 1.40.30.00
SPL : 1.40 Oli
Sim : unlocked
Can anybody help me please ? Because for the moment, I'm blocked in Morroco without phone !:o

Thanks in advance

have you tried calling your Service Provider?? and how did you manage to get the latest version of Radio ROM as it was only released today?

I didn't contact my provider because my colleagues have the same provider and have no issues. As I said before, I tried several things to fix the issue, updating Radio among them. I downloaded 1.40 version this afternoon.

have you tried changing the band to GSM only?

I also tried that, but I couldn't complete the operation. Each time I got an error message saying that the settings could not be applied. I'm currently in the process of of downgrading to a WM5 ROM to see if the issue is still here.

downgrading your OS wont make a difference... you need to downgrade your Radio... try downgrading to 1.38.30.10 using SSPL and let us know....

sounds like your Radio might be corrupt...

You're right, downgrading to wm5 didn't change anything....not did the radio downgrade to 1.38.
Tomorrow (it's 12. AM in Casablanca) I will try my SIM in others phones and try other SIMs in my phone. I will let you know.
The good news is that Black 2.0 doesn't seem to be at fault in this issue.

Thanks for your interest.

I have good news ! I tried several SIMs cards today on my phone, and I was able to join the network with each of them. I put back my own SIM card (after cleaning it methodically), and I have been able to connect. So my issue is now solved, and I can sill enjoy Black 2.0:D

walshieau, thank you for your comments, it put me in the right tracks

Isn't technology wonderful!!! We spend so much time upgrading, tweaking and fiddling that we forget something as simple as a dirty contact can screw us just as easily:) :)
