I upgraded my MDA2 to wm2003SE, no extended rom. It worked okay for a while (some quirks, nothing major). I started installing applications to it (citrix, ring tone programs). I ended up having to cold reset it, as it was hanging a couple of times. I got it back to a working unit, and was able to make and receive calls on the device.
This morning, I went to use it, and all of a sudden, there is a message on the phone saying: "SIM card blocked. Please enter the PUK. You can still make emergency calls if your provider supports it." I can't make any calls, nor do I receive any signal.
I downloaded the xda2unlock app, and attempted to unlock the phone. and it said that the phone was already unlocked!! I'm kind of stuck now, I seem to have a great PDA, but no freaking phone!
Any ideas????
Hi there Toast,
You are confusing two different things. Your'e problem is not a sim-lock, but a sim-block. The difference is that a sim-block can be lifted by entering a code (PUCK) which you should have gotten with your'e sim-card, at least that is how it is done here in The Netherlands.
So just get you're puck code and enter it into your'e phone and the problem should be solved.
Normally a sim-blocj happens when you wrong-key your sim code three times.
Omg,
I can't beleive I missed that....jeesus, not only am I blonde, I'm a complete retard this morning!
That definitely helps me out,! I have no idea what my sim unblock code is, but I know where I can get it from!
Hey ****,
thanks sooooo much. Called At&Tingular, and they gave me the unblock puk. I have no idea how it got blocked in the first place, but it's fixed now. Thanks again!

PUK is normally the super pin. Don´t know how it is in the US, bur here in Germany you can enter 3 times the wrong pin. After this you require the super pin (PUK). It shhould be delievered with your mobil contract. It do not have anything to do with the phone....
HTH

Thanks,
Man, I'm really having a blonde moment today...not only did I miss the fact that it was sim *b*locked, and not locked, I posted this twice.
Thanks for helping me out on this. I have no idea how simblock got turned on, since I never use a pin on my phone, but its unlocked now.
PUK means Personal Unblocking Code - A code used to unblock a blocked SIM card, obtained from your network or service provider.
Just bring your contract to the Service Provider and they will give you your PUK. You can also change new SIM card keeping your current number.

hey there

PPC-DOC
Same problem
Hi guys...I am quite new to the whole XDA thing...got a second hand XDA mini S, did a hard reset to start fresh. Trying to use it with Vodafone sim card though. Sim card seems ok, I can send and receive txt messages, but unable to make and receive calls, same problem...starts dialing and then shows 0.00 call ended, no signals, no beeps, nothing...tried with a headset, same stuff....I rang Vodafone to see if they can help with the call settings but they werent very helpful, as the phone is not one of theirs, they just said speak to O2, well I cant really as it is a second hand handset.
I was advice form Vodafone that perhaps the phone is locked to O2 and thats why it can't make any calls, but i can send and receive txt messages and the sim card is read as normal....i am quite confused. I have not tried to do any unlocking on the phone as the sim card seemed to work fine...Can anyone help....Can this be a result from the hard reset I've done..I read somewhere that other people were unable to make calls after hard reset.......
They maybe IMEI blocked, e.g. insurance claimed phone, stolen phone, etc. I think you can call them and see if the IMEI has been blocked. Search the forum, IMEI blocked issue have been discussed here.

Sorry for the stupid question but can you send me a link or directions how can I find a solutions to this IMEI blocked issue. Is there a software to unblock or change? Have not rang O2 to check, but I have the feeling that they will reffer me to the ebay seller.....as I am not a O2 customer, thats what they kind of said to me before.
You don't call O2.. just call your network service (Orange, T-Mobile, etc) providers, they may able to help you to check. Or just google for "IMEI block blacklist" for information.

If he can send and received text then its not IMEI barred, once a phone is IMEI bared you'll be unable to register with the network at all, and would look like the phone is SIM locked or just not getting signal.
It could be either, a bar on the network, low signal, or something weird with the SIM. Check the sim in another phone, if you can make calls its a hardware issue, if not then its a network issue
Thanks for the advice, sim card is working fine with other handsets, it's just a normal contract Voda sim card. Still can't get it to work with the XDA though. Did second hard reset and same stuff....can send/receive messages but canNOT make/receive calls. Does any one know if this may be result of the hard reset and is there any way of fixing it. If it is a hardware problem as suggested previously what is the way of sorting it out?
Me again...just tried it with O2 sim card....very strange...kept searching for the network for more than 10 min and nothing happened....had to turn it off at the end. 3 card don't work as well, same situation...searching for network....The Vodafone sim card seems to be the only one that gets full reception straight away but then again the problem with making calls remains...I have no idea what network the device was issued on before...
still cant get it to work tried all your ideas
nooooo i really like this phone but cant use it as a phone

Hi
I replaced my P3300's screen a while ago because it was cracked. Everything seemed to go OK and the phone worked fine for a few days.
I don't know if this is related or not (maybe I messed the antenna up during the process, but since it worked for a while afterward I'd guess not...?)
Anyway, for the last couple of days I've had no network reception whatsoever.
The last time I remember it working was in the evening a few days ago. I fell asleep with the WIFI on and woke up with the phone dead. I turned it on and it didn't ask me for my PIN like it usually does, and it couldn't find my GSM network. It's been like that since.
When I press the green "dial" button nothing happens. When I go into settings > telephone, it asks me for my PIN and I can then access the options but it doesn't find any networks when I search.
Now every time I turn it off and back on, it never asks for my PIN.
I've tried removing the battery and the sim card but that hasn't helped.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance
Meh. On a possibly maybe related note, I've just realised my PocketCM Contacts hangs when I try to launch it. Could it be a loose sim card connection causing both these problems? Although I'm pretty sure all my contacts are on the phone and not the sim card, and the sim looks fine and is placed properly...
edit - just been into programmes > sim manager (not sure that's what it is in english, my phone is french) and I get a "sim busy" error message (again, not sure if that's exactly what it is in english...). Hmmmmm
Well it gets even weirder... It seems I can receive and send text messages!
I've been getting texts from my operator saying I have new voice messages (which I obviously can't listen to) and I've also had texts from a friend and been able to reply to them and they've been received. Even though the icon at the top still has an exclamation mark so supposedly no network.
My iGo GPS also doesn't seem to work anymore (it hangs during initialisation process) although Tomtom works fine.
Someone please tell me they have an idea what could be going on! This is doing my head in
Dam, you have all my solidarity man!
Are you using radio 3.39.90 by chance? Even if not I would still flash another radio.I also suggest to check that your device was correctly reassembled if you have any doubt about it.
Hi guys,
ok... I have an HTC desire... originally on Virgin Mobile and now unlocked. I'm an O2 customer...
I have rooted and installed the Leedroid rom... originally at version 1.8b. Everything was fine.... until I had a corruption on the SD card.... which I fixed when I got a second following a couple of days of "mounted read only." A day or so later, I lost connection to the O2 network and have been unable to regain it, despite several ROM (I'm now running Leedroid 1.9) and radio reflashes.
I still have access to wi-fi, gps etc.
I have tested my sim card in another phone (all ok) as well as other sim cards in my phone (doesn't work.) I have also swapped and tried another O2 sim.
The phone detects all the major networks... just won't let me connect.
The error message I get when trying to connect to a network manually is "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
I've obviously checked that the phone isn't IMEI blocked etc. I've also tried the sim unlock from the fastboot menu, the switching on and off of the radio, airplane mode... lots and lots of stuff.
I really am at my wits end with this issue. I love the desire... but it's obviously of no use to me without the phone element!!!
Can anyone please suggest something to solve this problem???? Could the corruption of the sd card have caused this in some way, despite several rom/radio reflashes since? I really want to stick with the desire, but at the moment I effectively have a £400 brick....
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.....
Shep
Firstly this is not a development issue, its a question.....
But anyway, when the phone is telling you that you cannot connect to the network is it allowing you to enter an unlock code at all? Or have you ever "unlocked" the phone in the past?
You're right Lenny... apologies for creating the thread in the wrong part of the forum.... perhaps a mod could move it....
Yes... the phone was unlocked from Virgin mobile prior to me buying it [from ebay.] I didn't perceive this to be an issue, given that I actually had connection to O2 for a day or two before losing it...
No... the phone/sim is not asking for a code when I attempt to connect.
Thanks,
Shep

and did it stop letting you on randomly, or did you do something immediately before?
Nope... completely random. I was in a poor reception area and initially put it down to this... but then it never returned and I'm now back at home having had zero connection for a week.
I think that my repair of the SD card was after I initially lost connection. But as I said, I'm not sure whether the SD card corruption is a red herring.
Call me sceptical, but I doubt you would of been able to check whether it was on the IMEI blacklist or not unless you worked for a phone network.
It's not public knowledge and someone working for O2 shouldn't have told you if it was or wasn't.
Also, even if they did and the IMEI listed on the handset is NOT blacklisted, as was possible with WinMo devices, you may have unintentionally changed the recorded IMEI on the handset to one that IS blacklisted - unlikely though I'll admit.

the sd card should not have anything to do with radio.
Go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
then press phone info
done.... what info do i need to post?

try to go down the bottom and press the "turn radio off" button
then when its turned off try to turn it back on, then see what happens.
Just done it and no changes.
Did it several times between reflashes too... not so much as a flicker...
No idea then, unless the IMEI has been blacklisted.
Ok.... thanks anyway.
Any luck getting this to work? Am in the same situation - t-Mobile unlocked Desire with a 3 SIM?
Edit: I have intermittent reception/connection to 3 now - I did a lot of recovering/trying RUUs which would partially load on Win 7 then just disappear...assume they should have done something more than that. What seems to have helped - and I partially had this problem in my Nokia E65 - was to place a piece of paper (SIM sized) behind the SIM to 'push' it onto the contacts. Well, maybe it was a software issus but it's now my luck paper and I'm not removing it!
Gone again. Very annoying.
RUU'd to RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed (unbranded 2.2) and still no luck.
Any ideas?
Hello! I don't know why but my phone started having this problem. It was out of nowhere. Well, maybe not, I've flashed my phone with the official mango update like two weeks ago, and it was working fine.
And today I saw that that I messages doesn't send out. I tried to call/text myself from other phone, and I couldn't. Phone displays gsm network name in phone hub, and also it shows full gsm connection bars(five of them), so you couldn't tell that something is wrong until you try to text or call. When you call the phone says "dialing..." but this shows forever and there's no sound from the speaker. It's worth mentioning that I've received few messages I've send to myself, but just about 2hours from sending, and then I tried to send a few more and haven't received those. Also, I've suceeded to call for a few times but after a long long wait(like at least 30sec) with the "dialing..." message shown. However, I cannot reach the phone when calling from my other phone.
I've tried to turn my phone on/off, to take the battery/sim card off, reseting the device, but none of these things helped. Then I've decided to flash my device. I've flashed my phone with DeepShining Mango custom ROM, and it seems to be working fine, but the problem still exists.
I don't know what else to do. And that's a major problem, because noone can call or text me. As I've said in the beginning, it was out of the sudden, I haven't done anything to my phone. Just yesterday I was using my phone normally, texted and called with no problem.
So I'm asking yours, guys, help. Could you please suggest what I could do? Thank you very much!
P.S. I've bought this phone from second hand and it was unlocked, but it has an orange logo on the battery cover, so I suppose it was locked to orange.
Did you pay your bill?
I have a prepaid card.
Ok, do you have a another SIM to test
