[Q] Desire HD "Limited service" !?!

Hi i just bought a used HTC Desire HD and when i start it it says "T Mobile"
When i insert SIM card in it (Swedish) it says ""Limited service", i put in PIN but only limited service and then i have no signal...
I have tryed 4 different SIM, 3 swedish 1 thailand. Same thing.
When i go to settings network i can search for network operaters, then all the network i can have in sweden comes but i dosent matter wich one i choose it says : Your sim card does not allow connection to this network, which is very strange because if i have TELENOR sim inside and choose TELENOT it says the same...
Please someone help me

My guess would be that your phone is branded (SimLock) You have to have a t-Mobile sim card for it to work to you ave to get rid of the lock. Plenty of info about unlocking DHD in the forums.

downgrading and unlocking are different things even if you have downgraded the simlock stays on unless you unlock it.

yes but i use the ultimate multi tool, and did all. sim-unlock also and when check after it says sim unlock.
why is it not so i can put in code from network. it was like that with other phones wich is network locked. but this i put pin code and then limited service only.
so how do i then unlock sim ?

could it be that the lock is on your sim not the phone, try another SIM

have tryed 3 different swedish sim + 1 thai sim no working...
get the phone contacts and all from sim and pin. but no signal. finding the sim network in list but cant conect to it.... your sim does not allow connection. ?!?!

and what rom are you using

what does 'properly unlocked' mean ?

I say you might have unlocked the bootloader,bit the phone still has SIM lock.

hmm, so you saying if i go back to the shop and get them to unlock properly, it might let me use the o2 sim???
is there anything i can do....having only a modest knowledge of these issues?

and in reply to properly...sorry i wasnt specific - i meant that when you put an o2 sim in and turn it on...it doesnt ask for a pin or code to unlock the phone??

Well did you buy it in a O2 shop? If yes,then there appears to be a problem with you handset. If you DIDN'T buy it in a O2 shop(which means any other,T-Mobile,3,etc.) Then you're out of luck because it it probably SIM locked to that carrier.
You should bring back the handset back to the shop and ask them to remove the SIM lock.

ok, so here we go...
Went to the shop and they say the phone is unlocked. When i put an o2 sim card in, it does not require a pin when the phone switches on.
It works with tmobile sim, orange, virgin just not o2....
so it is unlocked just wont take o2.....
any ideas why?
its originally a tmobile wildfire - spoken to tmobile and they say they have completly unlocked.....

do you have any other o2 sim to test it ?
you should also go and change your sim, might be rly the SIM problem ...here changing sim costs 10 bucks, i hope its free in your case.

im afraid im a step ahead - all o2 sims dont work - i had a brand new 3g sim sent out by o2 and have tried a pay as you go sim on o2 - still wont work with any o2 sim....
any ideas?

a ok, i didnt read that one... lets try to keep this on one thread. why dont you try flashing stock rom again... i mean its worth a shot... i guess you dont use any custom roms atm ? or even try flashin any custom rom, just to try it ... if it doesn't work then, well, we will see it's a very strange problem.
did you try connecting with 2g, and not 3g...
or maybe changing setting in *#*#3646#*#* then phone information, then set preffered network type... and try changing those also ... First try this, and if it doesnt help then try what i wrote above.

ok,well - had a read of your suggestion and only a slight problem with it...i am a real beginner when it comes to this so apologies but rom flash???
Also looked at the *#*# suggestion...unsure how to do that - did try typing that into the keypad on the phone part but it didn't do anything..
apologies im not up to speed..any way to simplify for me?

oh, and also someone has suggested going into the bootloader so i took out the sim and battery, put it all back in and held down volume and power. at the bootloader menu, i selected simlock. when i pressed it the following was displayed..
fat 32 init ok
open mccmnc file fail
open cid file fail
process done, reboot?
does this help explain anything??

i guess you didnt unlock via xtc clip... you should write the code that i told u on dialer pad, it should immediately open a meny, i will make photos when i come home as a more detailed guide k ?

ok, just to save you some time if you dont need to spend it - the phone was unlocked at a local shop - no idea how they did it - although im guessing badly...
i typed that code in - when i enter the final * the code just disappears and it does nothing. I did enter the code without the last * and it said mmi running but then said incorrect mmi...

oomg man i just saw, its my bad ITS NOT 3646 its 4636 .... i wrote it wrong :////

thanks - tried that and got into the phone menu. The current preferred choice is WCDMA - there are other options but nothing to suggest that an o2 sim should be blocked....

well, you should give it a go, since i dont have an idea what could possibly be wrong

ok, well have done several things.
i) master factory reset - made no difference - o2 sim still wont work
ii) tried to connect the phone to the pc but even with htc sync installed the phone wont connect to the pc
so it looks like we're stuffed here???

Guys help. Noob here.

Hey guys, i just received my Sony Ericson Xperia Arc S from japan (docomo). I just boot it, everything is fine until I insert the sim card, Im from Philippines and I'm new to android phones so i can't tell if this phone is unlock to all sim. I tried to scan the network and it detects all of the carrier in my country but i always prompted to this after i choose my carrier "your sim card does not allow connection to this network".
Your response will be much appreciated.

try with some other carrier sim cards on your phone...

Your phone does not have to be rooted to be unlocked. A carrier unlock is totally different. it allows you to use any sim card in your device. Rooting gives you access to the hidden file system that actually runs the phone.

I think you should contact your cell provider to replace the sim.

first try it with a different carrier's sim. if its working then ask your provider for a sim replacement. if its not working then your phone is probably carrier locked. (of course if reception is fine at your location)

[Q] HTC One V Sim-Unlock Help

First post, need some helpful advice
I have a HTC One V on Virgin UK networkwhich I need to unlock. I purchased an unlock code online as after researching, came to the conclusion it (as of yet) cannot be done for free.
Anyways, I inserted the new sim card and turned on the phone but I dont get any pop up message asking me to enter the code. All guides I've read say that this should automatically pop up. I done a hard reset but that didn't help. The SIM is definately detected as I can look at the details in settings menu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you on a custom rom? I think you have to be on stock to sim unlock a phone with a unlock code.

Not using a custom rom, phone is just out of the box

If I boot the phone without sim and then insert the new sim I get the following message;
"Unable to detect your SIM card. Please make sure that your SIM card is properly inserted and restart your phone."

After reading about it,
Does the phone accept your non-Virgin SIM? Do you get network access?
Not every phone is carrier locked.
You may also want to try disabling the HTC Fast Boot option. It does make start up, slower but it forces the it to actually shut everything down. It should be: Settings -> Power -> Fast Boot
Option A) Shut the phone down, after disabling 'Fast Boot', make sure the non-Virgin SIM is inserted, turn the phone on.
Option B) Hard Reset/Factory Recovery with the other carriers SIM inserted.
