Hi, I'm new at all this so bear with me...
I have an Italian i780, I'm trying to get it to work with a UK sim.
i've flashed the device with i780_Flame_WM6.5_CE_OS_5.2.23081_OEM_PDXIB1__96DPI. this works great apart from making calls.
I also flashed the phone separately but I still can't get a signal with a UK T-Mobile or O2 sim. I just get a message on the phone saying 'Phone can only be used for emergency calls'
I've also done the unlock code thing and checked it's unlocked.
Any idea?
it is a glasses-free 3D vision android smart phone by Sharp.
has anybody tried to use it?
I've got one from Japan, and it is official unlocked by NTT docomo.
but it will reboot continued, but if no sim insert, it will work better, but it will reboot by itself after a longer duration.
I've asked several user in UK, they have same problem, but the users in China tell me it will work fine.
Could anyone tell me what is the problem, is it the problem with baseband?
hi , i am a user in hongkong .... it is a common problem.... you can try to replace a new sim from your carrier .... it will solve the rebooting problem most of the time ...

i have one i found it, i can not get pass the android lock and i do not have a proper sim to call it to unlock. any one know how to factory restore it and set it to english??
hello. this is a log story, so i will try to get to the point as quickly as i can.
i have a xperia arc lt15i locked on SFR France, it came with 3.0.A.2.184 branded sfr out of the box. when i inserted an unsupported sim card (orange) it always asked me the sim-unlock code (i never tried a random code). after a while, an update became available for my device 3.0.1.A.0.145 i think, so i updated the software via pc companion. the problem is that after this update, when i insert a unsupported sim card it always says "please insert sim card and restart the phone". and i really need to unlock the phone because i ordered the unlock code. i'm on the generic uk version now, and still have the same problem.
anyone else experienced the same issue? can someone give me an advice please? how can i unlock my phone now? i'm desperate...

thanks man. this sounds promising.
Hello everybody,
I have a carrier unlocked Xperia Arc. I had flashed .58 firmware, which I had rooted with Zegrush method (bootloader is locked). It was working fine for a few days, then suddenly the 3G stopped working. I am still getting the EDGE (2G) data transfer.
Since my SIM when inserted into my friends Samsung i9003 was giving a good 3G connection and also my friends SIM when inserted into my Xperia Arc was unable to connect through 3G, I thought that the fault was in my Xperia Arc only.
I have
1) Checked APN settings, they are fine. Downloaded and installed them again to be doubly sure.
2) Did a soft reset
3) Did a hard reset
4) Used repair through PC companion
5) flashed .62 firmware with accompanying baseband
6) flashed .42 firmware with accompanying baseband
7) checked network mode. Its WCDMA(preferred)/GSM. On switching to WCDMA, the 3G connection works for a few minutes and then the whole connection drops.
8) I read in some discussion boards that a similar problem arises if the SIM card lock is used but I am not using it.
Is it a hardware defect? Should I unlock the bootloader and flash one of the custom ROMS?
Any other suggestions?
Please help.
Thanking in advance.
call your network provider and say your problem, if they cant solve your problem or says everything is ok then contact sony ericsson repair center.
Hi everyone,
I have a Xperia Arc (LT15i), and I have a problem. Since yesterday, my phone didn't recognize any SIMCARD. It's locked to Vodafone Spain and BL is locked too.
I saw that my Xperia Arc doesn't boot...and I've flashed FIX Fota Bricked Pack for unlocked Bootloaders...and my Bootloader is locked...since this...No SIM Card detected...and no signal...incl one SIM for Vodafone SPAIN.
Any solution????
If I downgrade from ICS to GB with Flashtool it's possible to fix this problem...or what else???? Any ROM for fix this problem??? PC Companion and SEUS said me that my software is up 2 date...and didn't repair...
Thank you in advance! PLZ Help Me! For me it's a BIG BIG problem! I don't have phone!!!....
Try flashing a stock ROM using the flashtool and report back.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From the stickys in general, and I would go with ICS.
I've flashed various ICS stock ROMS...and the problem is the same...Insert SIMCard and restart the phone...
I've used Flashtool 0.9...is there any problem with this version?
Please...any solution? Is my phone dead?
Today I've used SEUS to Update from GB to ICS...and the problem is the same. Still saying...No SIMCARD detected, only emergency calls...or...insert SIM CARD and restart the phone...
What can i do?
Have you taken it out and give it a wipe?
Sent from my Phone.
What???? Sorry but I don''t understand you....
Have you taken the sim card out of the Phone?
Sent from my Phone.
Yes...
And the result is the same...SIM CARD not detected, only emergency calls.
Any solution???
Maybe try put another sim card into your phone and/or your sim card into another phone to test.
I put the SIM on another phone...and SIM seems to be functionally!!! But the same SIM in Xperia Arc nope!
I'll tried anothers SIMS in arc and the result is the same...
After reading many webs...I believe that I found the solution...
Just in this forum...there is a thread with No sim card detected and Emergency Calls...after many tries...solution is Omnius Server and Unlock by certificate replacement. I bought a Single Android License Unlock...tonight I'll try this...if it's resolves my problem, xperia arc will be my phone...if not...BRICK ARC WITH MY HANDS!!! Muahahahahahahaha...
Post results tonight!
