Hi, just got an XDA II and it was locked to O2. I used the brilliant xda2unlock tool and everything seemed to work fine, it said it was succesful and it no longer said that (Orange) SIM was invalid. However I do not have any signal strength or connectivity. Try to call anything it just drops the call. I have just bought an PAYG O2 SIM card just to see if i could use that but this is also not getting any signal to the network.
ROM Version: 1.72.00WWE
Radio Version: 1.17.00
ExtROM Version: 1.72.181
If you require further info please let me know. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
Makka
Same problem here

Your XDA 2 is blocked on the netwotk, this is not sim lock and it is tied to your imei number, you have to call the netowrk operator and ask them why the phone is barred, not blocked lets use the correct terminolgy, do you know the previous history of the phone, you may have to reuturn it to the right owner, or you could sell it for spares on ebey, what ever your conscious tell you is right, the phone can be unbarred but the details of the previous owner will be needed for sure, hope this helps
Hi guys,
This is my very first post so please be patient with me.
I just received my HTC TD purchased through Ebay. It is a model P3720 with the Telstra NextG branding on box and phone cover. It was advertised as unlocked yet it does not read my 3 sim card. It comes up as sim card missing.
How do I resolve this issue? Can someone help? Im excited about receiving this phone today and simply dying to play with it, so if any of you can give me some advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Step by Step...
I'd say first get a Telstra SIM and try that in the phone, this will tell you if the phone is working correctly... Then get a SIM from another network (not 3) and try it with that SIM, if the phone recognises the SIM it is unlocked, if not it isn't and you can get it unlocked by looking at the sticky Diamond unlocking thread on this forum...
If it works with the second SIM but does not work with the 3 SIM take the 3 SIM out wipe it off blow onto the contacts in the phone and try it again, if it still does not work try the 3 SIM in a 3 branded phone to see if it works. If it does and the Diamond is unlocked you might have to phone 3 customer services for advice - don't expect much though as they will probably say they don't support phones which are not branded as 3 phones.
The alternative is to search around here for some more help.
Hope the above has been helpful.
mate just download original rom provided by three it can be found here on this forum,do a bit of research. good luck..

I am on o2
bought a 2nd hand wildfire s on t mobile
bought an unlock code from HTCimeiUnlock which came through.
unlock code seemed to work can use access phone with o2 sim.
cant register on o2 network says "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
Sim works totally fine in my o2 x10 mini pro.
and a t-mobile sim works fine in the wildfire s
thinking it mght be banned from o2 or the unlock code doesnt work
*Tried manually putting in APN detail and still nothing
Hello, I have the same issue, did you ever manage to solve this?
Sadly it seems that you have been swindled. Try looking for a XTC Clip(That S-OFF's your phone and also UNLOCK the SIM lock of the phone)
ok, swindled how? do you mean its not unlocked?? and for a beginner...xtc clip?
XTC Clip is a device that unlocks your phone security (which includes sim unlock), and that would be better than buying any codes from around internet ... You may go find it in some shop, maybe they do unlocking via xtc clip, OR buy a device unlock phone, and then resell it ?

If around where you live there are people in your city centre selling phone cases for about £5 with trolleys ask them if they do a phone unlock. The place is crawling with them in Cardiff.

You need to do it in person. Did you google XTC Clip? It's really your friend...Even as a "beginner".
ok, so im going to go to the shop ( a different one today and try) myself...as for the xtc clip...i had a look but really wasnt sure how to make it work...
i think really that this may be a forum for people who know what they are doing..sorry... but thanks for the help.
Any other ideas let me know but thanks
ok, so here we go...
Went to the shop and they say the phone is unlocked. When i put an o2 sim card in, it does not require a pin when the phone switches on.
It works with tmobile sim, orange, virgin just not o2....
so it is unlocked just wont take o2.....
any ideas why?
Have you talked to 02 about it? Your simcard might just be too old for the phone.....

Stab in the dark this,
try removing sim, Sd & battery....
then hold volume down for 2 secs, and power on while holding it...
You should be at the bootloader screen, see if theres an option to clear simlock, press power button to do so if its not done already, then try your O2 sim, if it does not work im at a loss, I would say its IMEI banned if thats the case.....
ok - ko ka - did as you said, when i selected simlock i got the following...
fat 32 init ok
open mccmnc file fail
open cid file fail
process done, reboot?
when i reboot, it still wont take the o2 sim...
and yes am working through the other thread also
Hi guys
I know this is not the right forum for this old phone, but I felt this is the only place where I could find some help - Its funny, finding info about old phones is so hard these days! If anybody can help me with this it will be greatly appreciated.
I have a Sony Ericsson W350a bought through AT&T in USA. I moved back to India and got it unlocked from a random mobile repair shop. It worked for some time and now it appears to be locked again.
But the strange thing is that if I am traveling abroad, any SIM works (including my Indian Vodafone SIM). But when I am in India then no SIM works, the phone says 'Emergency Calls Only' and on manually searching and trying to connect to any network it says 'Forbidden Network'.
Is there anything I can do to 'fully unlock' the phone?
Thanks for taking the time!
Hey guys,
Quick question. I am in Australia and bought a LGU+ (LMF100N) from Korea. The phone cannot detect any SIM and I cannot have access to the TEST FIELD menu, I have tried all compatible ROM, still impossible to activate DATA, add APN or have a SIM detected. Do you think it is software or hardware?
Please note that that it is not a DEMO LG Wing and it is unlocked. I have a 'NO USIM DETCTED' message so it is not even ask for a unlock code etc.
I have tried everything with no success.
Thanks hips for your help, advice and answers guys.
PS: congrats for all the posts explaining how to use software to patch etc. XDA forum is really really good. Still looking for the Discord LG WING. Do not hesitate to share the invoice with me.

I have seen quit a few LG Wings on Ebay with the sim slot being bad so it wouldn't surprise me.The good thing is,it pops in and out once you pull the back off.No soldering required!
@surgemanx sorry for the long delay mate but you were totally right. My problem was indeed the sim slot, I think i refused to admit it could be hardware as most of the time it is software. I returned it and bought a new WING (US version this time) and it was all good I spent hours install rom etc for nothing lol at least I know how to do it now. Just waiting for Android 12
Very happy of the phone otherwise. Thanks again for your answer.
