I have a M5000 (ORANGE).Before unlocking, i could switch it on and off anytime and off and on anytime without waiting for an hour or 4 hours.
After Unlock, I can try to switch on the device without success. I tried everything. If i connect charger, it shows Red light only. If i remove the Battery and try after a while (30 min,sometime after two hours), it can come ON and I can use it normally.
I upgraded Boot but no Change, I Full upgraded with the latest upgrade but no chance,I load QTEK still no Chance.Battery works nice on another SPV.
What can i do???
Thanks

I think the Orange SPV M5000 comes unlocked. When I bought mine it was already unlocked and I could use the SIM of any country.
Try doing a hard reset to factory defaults. Also try synchronising with the computer as soon as it gets on and download VJBigphone or some software to fix your pc. Anyways this sounds really weird, because when i bought mine it was already unlocked. You shouldnt try to unlock an unlocked device, might result to hazardous errors.

Heh I never came accross this unlocking code thing. Cant you get the unlocking codes off the internet? Is it like some random number which you enter and after that you can use another SIM Card? I think what the software does is it enters the unlocking code for you but in this process the ROM might have been damaged due to registry modification. But i suggest you do a hard reset and go back to factory defaults and try to use the unlocking software again and again till you get it perfectly right without any of those powering up issues. I am sure it will work. lol... if i was sitting beside you right now i would have fixed it. Maybe you are skipping some essential step.

Before you flashed your phone, did you know if your phone was SIM UNLOCK? Because no matter if you flash to different roms, if your phone is sim locked flashing your rom cannot lock or unlock your sim as far as I know.
You can flash back to a 6.1 rom and see if your phone is sim lock due that you will see that your phone ask you for the unlock code.
Ookba roms (3vo rom series 6.5) does not pop ups this message so that's why I'm telling you about flashing back to a 6.1 rom or stock rom.
I flashed back with original ROM,several times and nothing,I put back wm 6.1,6,5,and nothing.in this case,what can I do?please!!!
could be something damage in my phone?and yes my phone is unlocked for any kind of network

Clean the SIM, if still not working get a new sim from your provider "has been known for SIMs to go capput"
If then still problems try and get phone replaced, flash back to stock before hand
but same sims work in another phons
Hi there.
I have a problem with sim unlocking my phone. T-Mobile already gave me my unlock code.
I entered it once, and it told me wrong code. I don't know if I typed the wrong code or if they sent me one. I swear i only did it once.
Anyway, my problem right now is that when I insert a new sim card, it does not prompt me for an unlock code.
My sim card is unaccessible plus I don't have any signal.
I already have done a hard reset twice, and still not prompt.
Can anyone help me how to make the phone prompt for the sim unlock code?
did u buy it off someone?
Nope. My service provider, T-Mobile gave it to me.
I also have flashed to the phone to the latest ROM here. Still no go...

You need to flash to a 6.0 or 6.1 rom so you can get the sim unlock message. If you flashed a 6.5 rom this will not happen.
This is something that is on the sticky. On that note, thread closed.
No credit to me, . Was just browsing the international forums and came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982
Apparently it works for ATT folks, tried it on my rogers phone it didnt work. If it worked for anyone here please let me know. Also please thank the original threader if it worked.
EDIT: I think this works on rogers too. I forgot to INPUT THE * before the # , i didnt see that. ahaha.! Wow it cant be this easy!
2nd edit: confirmed working on rogers, telus, atnt, mobilicity, telus, bell
I just did it, will try and put in a different sim when I have a chance.
1- Before the procedure I installed an old inactive T-Mobile SIM card and was asked for an unlock code after the lock screen.
2- I powered down the phone, reinstalled my active AT&T SIM card and did all the steps mentioned in the other thread. First time I din't see one of the screens (the one prior to hitting back) so I did it a second time and all was according to the instructions.
3- I rebooted with the AT&T SIM card and then I shut the phone down again.
4- Inserted the same old inactive T-Mobile SIM card used on first test and I wasn't required to enter any code like it did before!
I cannot test any further because I don't have access to any other active SIM Card!
Lets wait and see if it was really that easy to unlock :highfive:
Did the steps on my Bell phone and put in a telus sim and it worked.
badass, worked on mine! (didn't check to see if it was already unlocked, though...)
This is really GREAT NEWS ...
Have anyone tried to see if it still works after the FACTORY RESET.
Worked for me. On Rogers

Tried it...it works!!! Thanks saved me dollars to unlock!

Did this last night, but I don't have another SIM card to try. Will test it out when i get to work.
edit... I can confirm that it did work on my AT&T i317.
Confirmed working for telus sgh-i317m.
Thanks! You deserve some credit coz I barely go through the international version thread and I would have never found this method if you didn't post it here. Of course the other guy gets a Thanks and a beer from me but you get a click on your Thanks button for reps!
I did it a couple of days ago. Tried it with my O2 pay-as-you-go SIM from the UK. The GN2 got a signal and connected to the network, so it does work. In the past, I got the screen asking for the unlock code.
Can someone try this link and tell me if it says unlocked?

I tried this on an AT&T Note 2 (SGH-I317) and it worked for me. I put a T-Mobile sim in it and it did not ask for an unlock code. Thank you guys!!!

That link seems to only check iPhones. I think the more important piece is that the phone accepts and works with non-AT&T SIMs. That pretty much means it's unlocked.

Yep. Worked for my on my SGH-i317. I stuck in an inacitve Verizon SIM and no promoting for unlock.
So one thing I noticed is Settings -> About -> Status ... At the very bottom it says: Device Status: Modified. I never noticed this before ... Did that just appear? My phone is bone stock and has never been rooted or modified other than the unlock procedure.
Can someone else look at this before and after? I may go to the ATT store and unlock a display model to test...

Hello I have an unlocked SGH-T989D phone but the problem is it will only detect sim cards from Koodo even though it is unlocked, I've tried flashing many different roms and different radios but nothing is working. Currently on stock 4.0.4 /T 989UVLE1, yes the phone is unlocked I checked multiple times. Anyone know how to fix this?

How do you check if a phone is unlocked if any SIM you try from another company is not read by the phone?
I think you need to try the unlocking procedure again, I don't think it was properly unlocked

What method did you use to unlock it?
I did it with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514) and not a single time was I asked to check with the code that you have showed me
This IS for the T989 though, not sure if you can use it for the T989D or if it's different in a way.
Sorry that I can't help, I hope you get the answers you are looking for

My brother used that method a long time ago and he was able to use different carriers, but now nothing works but Koodo, and I never get asked for an unlock code, just says 'No SIM card'

Yeah, this phone will not ask you for an unlock code, if you follow the procedure correctly it will read any other SIM card on it's own
Try unlocking again with what you have, the stock 4.0.4 and UVLE1 combination, it should be the right one. Do the procedure again until it reads the SIM card you want.
Another possible problem could be that your SIM is damaged or not well placed. It happens to me when I try to fit a Micro SIM on it, if it is not well placed it will not detect it. Try using other SIMs or try it on other phones to see if your SIM is the problem

I tried unlocking it again, doesn't work, tried different sims, and still doesn't work, but those other sims work on different devices. Only the Koodo one works on mine, which was what it was locked to before unlocking.

Well in that case I'm all out of ideas.
One final question, when you insert a SIM on your T989D that is NOT Koodo, do you get an "Invalid SIM", "No SIM" or just an empty signal bar?

It says "No SIM card.|Emergency calls only"

My conclusion is that it's having a hard time reading the SIM card. When you put another companies SIM card in to a LOCKED phone, it will show as invalid SIM (sometimes it even shows signal but is unusable). Since it says "No SIM card", I believe it's more of a hardware problem than a software one.
All I can think of is try moving the SIM card around, turn on. If nothing changes turn it off and move a little again, the turn on and repeat until it reads it.
Apart from that, I have no clue what could be wrong with the phone.
Turn on your phone without any SIM. If you get the same message (No SIM card.|Emergency calls only|) then it is most definitely your phone not reading your SIM correctly. If you get Koodo signal WITHOUT any SIM inserted (which I doubt but it CAN happen) then that means you have a faulty SIM Card Reader on your phone.

It works on Koodo but only if the sim is inserted, also I tried moving the sim around and it still isn't reading. I think this is a software issue.

Sorry man, I'm all out of ideas. I mean I've experienced the problem with the "No Service" thing, but I basically fix it by switching to 2G since I know there are some areas that I can't get 3G coverage. As for your problem, it's basically not reading your SIM entirely (by either software or hardware issues) and I wouldn't know how to get around that.
Best of luck to you
