Sim block after upgrade to wm2003

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!

xda mini s not ringing out

when i try to make a call it starts then says call ended i can send and recieve tex msgs

hey there
i had the same problem with xda mini.
i found out that was the 2.5 inch headset connector.
try to make call using the headset!!!
and let me know if it work.
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

Dumb Noob Question: Dash Sim Unlock

ok, I am cleaning out the closet and have a pair of Dash's I want to sell off, got the unlock code from T-Mobile for one and am having the devil of a time trying to figure out what to do. The 'insert foreign sim card' ... well stuck in an ATT sim I have (worked FINE on the G1's I want to sell off) gave me the 'enter unlock code' screen, etc...
On the Dash(s), it just freezes up after then phone boots (hangs at the T-Mobile screen), take it out, boots fine (and gives me the 'you don't have a sim card' message. Put in a T-Mobile sim, boots fine.
What noob mistake am I making? (this is with the dead stock WM6 rom, freshly reflashed).

Try and flash a cooked WM 6.1 rom and see if the sim unlock screen pops up.

I tried with a 6.5, will give a 6.1 a shot.

nope, didn't work, tried stock wm6, and a 6.1. This is an ATT 3G sim, wonder if that's the problem.. .gonna see if I can find a wm5 and try that!
Any ideas? Anyone else?

Should work with 6.1, 6.5 has had the problem with not showing the unlock input screen, if you still have problems i would advise getting a different provider pay&go sim and trying....

That's what I'm thinking but it's a brand new sim, and worked on unlocking my two G1's

Maybe the Excalibur doesn't like it? Just try a different sim even if it's just a nick one if m8's for 1-2 mins

Problem is it's TWO Dash's acting the same way. Ran them all the way back to WM5 (stock), WM6, (stock), WM6.1 .. same thing... I did notice that as I powered them off (yes power button would still work) that the top bar would flash by for a sec and it was showing SIM LOCK, before it powered down. So I'm wondering if it's waiting for me to enter (yes tried to enter the code to the frozen screen, don't know what other buttons to push).
The same sim DID do the unlock for a pair of G1's that I'm gonna sell, and then just for giggles I went ahead and activated the ATT GoPhone that it came with successfully. Still the same thing when I tried to do the unlock.
I'm at my wits end... I'll just have to sell them with the unlock code with them or something.. I'm still wondering if it's the ATT 3G sim that the Dash dosen't like... need to dig about and find and old one or something.

Should I upgrade my Sim Card?

I have been reading some really scary things regarding Sim Cards and viruses or malware or whatever and am wondering if I should change my sim card. A part of me thinks that the idea of a Sim card being infected is silly, but at the same time, I really would not know, lol.
If I were to upgrade my sim card...
Would it put my unlimited data at risk? (Verizon)
How would I go about changing my Sim? Could I use the sim that came with my note 4?
Also, should anyone even worry about their sim cards? o .0

SIM cards are free at corporate stores and you will not lose your unlimited.
Just take your phone in and ask for a new SIM. If they ask why tell them you've been getting errors or something. It takes like 5 minutes if there's no wait.
I don't think you can do a SIM swap online but you probably can by calling customer service from a different phone
Edit: If you call CS for a SIM swap make sure you have your other SIM on hand for the ICCID

Ah.. I see!
I actually tried to do a sim swap at home because google made it seem simple; however, it never worked to my knowledge. At first, I popped in the sim and it said that it was setting up, but never finished. While my phone was trying to activate with the new sim card, I went to the verizon wireless website and tried to activate my phone there, but could not find my phone listed in the section with previously activated phones. I did not try the option to activate a phone that wasn't registered already and just backed out. I did not - to my knowledge - see any screen indicating plan changes so I'm assuming that I did not do anything that could compromise my plan(?). When I dialed the number for activating sim cards, it went to the visual *611 screen and claimed that it did not recognize my number and asked me to log in to my verizon account. After doing so, nothing seemed to happen and it just sent me back to my home screen.
In hindsight, I probably should have stopped after it asked me to log in to my verizon account, but I suppose now all I can do is wait and ask questions to ease my anxiety x_x

You have to call that number from a different phone. Your phone doesn't hold your phone number so just popping a new SIM won't do anything.
You could try to do the "activate device" thing online but I don't know if there's an option to use a different SIM.

Question Puk/ Pin problem

Hey guys, I have a serious problem logging into my Pixel 6 pro. I basically locked myself out of it, as it seems.
I just wanted to add a pin code to my e-sim and went to the security settings to do so.
My phone asked for th PUK number which entered from the information card I received from my provider. Then it asked me to enter and confirm my new pincode. As soon as I did so, it said wrong PUK number. If you want you can deactive your esim to use the phone without mobile connection which I don't want, obviously.
Does anyone have an explanation for that? As I told you the puk is definitely correct.
The only reason I can think of why the PUK is incorrect is that the phone activated my old esim (something I asked my provider to do shortly before it happened).
Long story short I cannot log in anymore, Hard reset did not help me and I am about to send in the phone to the google support.
Is there a way around the puk pin request? My phone is not rooted and unfortunately debugging is also not active yet.
I am really clueless and hope that you can help me!
Best reagrds from Germany!
