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!

Put a sim card from from another provider to your phone. Than it will ask you to put the unlock code.
Cheers

It seems that people say to upgrade the rom and it should work.
Some older threads discussed this. The new rom is available at XDA-Wiki
Good luck!
I'm sitting here with my locked cavalier waiting for the unlock code to come to me!

I'll definitely consider ROM's upgrading. Thank you for the advice.
However, I'd like to post some feed-back about people behind http://www.x02ht-unlock.com/
( Dear forum admins, PLEASE do not remove this message. It's quite emotional, but I'm posting it to achieve one of two possible results. And every one of them is positive enough:
- people behind x02ht-unlock.com would hear me finally, and help to solve my problem (and, probably, I'm not the only one who has the same problem, but couldn't get any feedback via the support form);
=OR=
- someone wouldn't spend $50.00 for no result. )
Their support was more than terrible: they replied to all my questions promptly, but only until I finally sent them money for an unlock code ($50.00).
The current state: my phone is still not locked, and no one at support @ x02ht-unlock.com is willing to even talk to me on this problem.
I've done everything according to the instructions, but still get "SIM locked" message. I've sent them my problem's description (and even attached a screenshot), and no one replied to me. I sent problem description via email and using their "Send a question" form. Both both were left without _any_ reply.
It now seems to me, that they're cheating and the program never worked for anybody (someone on the internet can say it works, but who can be sure that he's not the person who receives money for that program?)
Even if the program is working, in fact, but they simply don't know how to solve my problem -- they could tell me about that and offer to return my money (because the program didn't its function). So, it's cheating anyway.
The worst thing is that PayPal won't cancel this transaction under any condition. Here's what they say:
We have completed our investigation of this case. No further action is
required by you at this time. We have denied this claim. As stated in

I found some information and just trying
Please try and send ur feedback!
1. Power on phone with a non-original SIM card inserted
2. When prompted, enter unlock code you received from us
Attention! Use the onscreen keyboard and make sure that wireless mode is OFF.
3. Your cell phone is now unlocked
If you see a message Sim lock.. You can still make emergency calls your phone has a blocked counter due to several previous incorrectly entered unlock codes. Plug your phone in charger and wait about few minutes to few days until it allow you enter unlock ...
if tried 1 times = 30 minutes
if tried 2 times = 1 hours
if tried 3 times = 2 hours
if tried 4 times = 4 hours
if tried 5 times = 8 hours
if tried 6 times = 12 hours
if tried 7 times = 24 hours
........15 times = 4 days

What onscreen keyboard? This is a non touchscreen phone, with a hardware keyboard.

same problem ..........as my o2xht .....guys pls help
hello .. be nice this is my first post !!
i recently came into the possesion of one of these little phones .. however i had no intentions of using this on t-mobile and wished to unlock the phone to be able to use on o2 .. however .. after following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674 which seems to have done the trick as the t-mobile gumpf has disappeared when turning the phone on but now i have a screen that asks for sim network unlock pin to which i dont have one and dont know where to obtain one .. i dismiss it and it takes me to the home page .. wifi works perfectly but i cant send or receive both text messages and calls apart from emergency ones !! .. i have since purchased another tmobile chip and the sim network unlock pin screen is no longer there and would appear to have a signal and two arrows pointing up and down and the g changes back and forth with an h .. but still no calls or texts .. can someone please tell me that i havent killed the phone and there is a fix !! .. i will admit i am a complete newbie to all this so go gentley !!
if the phone was blocked by the network what would my symptoms be .. only asking as im paranoid that i may have been sold a dud phone !!
many thanks in advance
chris !!
Hi and welcome to the forums
Unfortunately, I don't think the thread you linked has anything to do with being able to use a SIM card from another network on your phone. If I'm not mistaken it's more for removing the splash screen (eg. the T-Mobile one when you start up the phone) and also to get rid of the custom apps that networks like putting on their phones.
What you want is an "UNLOCK" code that you can either get online or obtain from T-Mob themselves - I've not done it personally before but you may have to shell out some cash for the code.
Have you tried using the original SIM card that the phone came with?
P.S. The changing G and H with the two arrows are related to the Mobile Data Connection being used by your phone. The arrow pointing up being upload, and down being download.
ah ok .. hense my newbie ness !! .. oh ok .. i thought that meant it would unblock the phone to be able to use on any network !!
i dont have the original sim .. but when putting the o2 sim in i dont get the g & h or the arrows .. and the little graph that shows the reception !! .. however when i put the "new" t-mobile chip in .. it all appears but still unable to make calls etc !! .. just a bit confused as to why the phone doesnt work on t-mobile !!
thanks for the welcome !!
for some reason i thought id change the network on the phone to orange and it seems to be working ?? .. am i missing something ??
then soon to stop working again .. since found out the phone has been blacklisted .. so it looks as though ive been sold a dud .. is there anything i can do to get the phone working again ??
Extremely unclear what you are trying to do. "Blacklisted"? By whom and how? I don't even know what that means.
If you want to unlock your phone to use on any GSM network, as LetoKynes said above, you need an unlock code. Buy one online and when your phone asks for the code, enter it.
i was trying to unlock it to use on any network .. but then found out u the unlock code .. so as i was eager to crack on and use the phone i bought a sim to match the network it was on .. it was working fine but then suddenly stopped working .. i rang the network and the phone has since been reported lost so its been blacklisted !! .. and as i purchased the phone recently i guess ive been had over .. as i am unable to give the original owners details !! .. pretty gutted !! .. still the wifi still works ok !!!
Managed to get a HTC Desire for an absolute steal of a price as the seller had managed to forget his lock pattern and hadn't set up a google mail account to bypass the lock pattern. Having used Android phones before I knew that if I could just figure out the correct combination of buttons on startup I'd be able to reset the phones to factory settings and have a working phone.
So, I quickly bought the phone, figured out the "Power+Vol Down" combination and ran a factory reset from within that menu.
The phone restarted and I went through the setup and everything seemed fine, until I tried to send a text/make a call.
When I send a text message, I get the message sending failed error and it retrys various times before the phone finally gives up and stops trying.
When I try and make a call the phone just hangs for a couple of seconds on the dialing screen, beeps and cuts off (as though I have no signal).
I assumed that the phone had been blocked, hence the seller was selling it so cheap and he had come up with this story of locking it out, but after having a play I realised the internet was working perfectly and I had full HSDPA signal. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I'd have no sort of connection if the phone had been blocked by the carrier?
I assumed this was a software issue and have updated from 2.2 to 2.3 but still the same issue. After updating, I've also realised that I am unable to change network carriers (I'm on TMobile and they now share networks with orange).
My sim works perfectly in other phones and if I put another sim in the Desire, it still has the same issues. The phone is locked to TMobile (not that I think that would matter), running the official HTC 2.3 Gingerbread release and as far as I'm aware my APN settins are all okay.
If anyone could shed any light onto what is going on here, and hopefully to a fix then it would be greatly appreciated
