I used one of the unlocking tools off this site and everything worked just fine. I bought an Orange SIM to use in my Blue Angel, now the device will accept every UK network SIM but not Orange! Has anybody else encountered the same problem?, But more importantly can anyone help me with a solution? :?

Hi Guys,
I just bought an XDA executive on ebay from the UK.
The seller said it was unblocked and hould work with any sim, but after recieving the unit and turning the unit on i cant get past the o2 screen and none of the buttons on the phone respond to once clicked upon.
Please advise?
Thanks!
Hi,
I think that you have to upgrade your EXEC with O2 shiped Rom that you can find it on the ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com login using xda user and pass xda and under folder Universal, i am sure that you won't have problems olso sure that the phone is unlocked couse o2 is giving it sim lock free phones
Kind regards

Hi,

Then, For how to install it, there are many threads on this. I don't remember which one I used but I did and it worked fine.
Good luck,

I just bought a mda vario off a friend. Trying to unlock it so I can switch it from T-Mobile to Cingular. I have tried a few things in some of the posts and they worked but it still asks for me to enter a code after putting card in starting it up. Can someone help me?
This sounds like a Sim card lock.
The Sim card Lock is a lock to stop people taking your device, turning it on and using your sim or taking the sim out of your device and putting it in thier device to call so that you pay for it.
Its a software setting.

SIM unlocking MDA Vario
You can use either aWizard or Lokiwiz to unlock the phone (CID unlock). worked well for me (and many others) but don't have the progrmme anymore- got it off of XDAdevelopers.
Hi firstly id like to appolagise for my lack of knowledge im pritty new here.
basically my question is this, i have an xda exec which i would like to be able to use my vodaphone sim in from time to time to access the streaming tv from the vodaphone live site (as the screen is much smaller on my vodapnone phone) but i still want to use it with my o2 sim the rest of the time.
Any advise would be much apreciated but please bear in mind i am new so try not to blow my mind up
Thanks in advance.
GO for it!
As long as your vodafone sim is a USIM you'll have no issues! My Vodafone sim works fine in the XDA EXEC I recently purchased, as does my o2 PAYG sim!
Ra bless o2 for not Simlocking!
A problem has occrued, the sim works fine for calls but wont seem to connect to the net for me to access vodaphone live etc - im currently using the settings from this site - http://www.vodafone.co.nz/vlive/vlive_specifications.jsp however im not quiet sure that im not missing anything, any info or advise would be greatly apreciated and the cab file that sets up the vodaphone settings for the universal would be even better if anyone has it .....
Hi,
My Artemis is got a strange problem
Its from O2 - Orbit called...
When I'm inserting Orange, Vodafone sim cards I get the error - Sim invalid - fine.. that's means is locked
With O2 is searching for a network but is searching for ever...can't find anything.. when I'm going in Network settings and select manual is saying something about Cannot read setting from network...
With Virgin/Tmobile sim card is finding OK the network and connecting to it but cannot make any phone calls or receive.....
Has anyone had a similar problem? I have tried to send it back to O2 but said they will send me send me a new one... they sent it but I never got it... it got lost in post etc... they didn't ask me to send the faulty one first... I contacted them a lot of times but they don't want to send me another one so I'm stuck with this faulty one.. I have reinstalled windows mobile 5 then upgraded to 6 but I have the same problem...
Did you try out the simcard in another device/phone? If it still fails then just ask for a new one.
yes I tried that sim card and works fine in another phone
also I tried lots of simcards in the xda but none works
I do have somewhat a similar problem. I am using an O2 SIM card on the orbit. A number of times the phone keeps looking for the network. Initially I used to wonder whethe rthe signal is weak - but if I soft reset it (and sometimes takes a couple of times), it finds the network (all bars in the signal) and works OK.
I have changed roms and it hasnt helped.
Since both of you are using the O2 Orbit I guess it must be something with the device. Any chance of finding out when your devices were manufactured?
i have the same problem with htc p3300 - have got signal with some of my sims, but can't make a call - what coul this be? I have 2 devices with these faults!!!
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem on my XDA orbit. O2 and orange sims, just keeps searching for a network with vodafone and t-mobile getting a signal but not allowing calls.
I thought that the phone was locked so I used the IMEI-check web site to download the unlock codes etc. This appeared to run normally, but made no difference to the operation of the phone.
I've done hard and soft re-sets but these make no difference either. The device has rom 3.4.206.2WWE (dated 4/18/07) installed on it and I would need some advice on what to change it to and how to change it.
Thanks for any help that anyone can come up with.
Blocked?
Try updating\upgrading radio ROM. If that does not work then I can only think that the phones have been blocked\barred by the network provider. Try calling them and asking them.
I have been informed that if your orbit is still on contract then it is still under warranty even if it is 2+ years old.
