Hi to all,
I've a problem with my Samsung Wave + my SIM (Vodafone).
I'm unable to register SIM in UMTS network of my operator but I can register correctly SIM in GSM network.
In service menu (#*197328640#) in idle SIM shows LIMITED SERVICE as message.
On NAS status it seems that PS attach is rejected with cause 0x6f.
My operator has tried to reset my SIM and substitute it with another but without success.
Problem is independent of cell. My SIM in another phone registers correctly in UMTS and in my phone another SIM of my operator works correctly.
It seems that only the combination of my phone (IMEI?) + my SIM (IMSI?) is unable to attach on UMTS network.
Phone is NOT SIM/Operator locked.
I've done a full reset of EEPROM (*2767*3585#) without success.
I've also reflashed with multiloader AMSS and other parts of fw related to WCDMA and RF, but still the same problem.
Integrity and Ciphering in service menu are [ON] so I exclude problem related to them.
I've started inspecting phone with QPST and RevSkills but I don't know NVItem mapping of Wave.
Someone had a similar problem and has found a solution?
TIA

I have a HTC TOUCH. I did unlock the method Rilgsm.dll, but does not work. I tested the SIM card from another carrier is detected but is only searching network
In WM 6.5 displays this error message:
"there is a problem connecting to the gprs service in the roaming network you are in"
What I see and that the two files that I have simlock remove are not removed even after restarting windows. I tried several times and the files are still there. My phone does not ask for unlock code so it works any chip and is detected but is only searching for network
Any tips?
I use a samsung captivate that was locked to Rogers. And now I am running it on Fido
I have been having issues connecting to 3G for over 6 months now. I completely gave up on the idea and lived off 2G, until someone suggested that I had unlocked my improperly. I believe this to be the root of my problems. I need to figure out how to lock my phone, and then if I can unlock it it properly, all my problems will be solved. PLEASE HELP. I will now try and explain all the different methods that I have used
The method I used initially was by extracting nv_data.bin file and using a hex editor to edit it to unlock. This did work, and my phone was working perfectly. But on a ROM update my 3G connectivity issues started.
I have to explicitly state 'only 2G' on my network connections, otherwise I lose my voice connection as well (because somehow the voice connections runs over the data connection - and one wont work with the other)
I decided to unlock properly - by buying a code off ebay. The code is based on the IMEI number of the phone.
I tried locking the phone by entering *7465625*638*# and entered
302720 (mnc/mcc for rogers)
and my purchased nck code
the phone even states that the lock code was successful. But on inserting my fido SIM, my phone acts like it did before - i.e. voice connection does work unless I explicitly select '2G only'
Initially I also tried locking by reediting nv_data.bin file using a hex editor. The instructions state editing the address '0x181468' on the file. There are 5 different bytes representing different locks (network lock, subset lock, sp lock, cp lock, data lock) and they are represented in binary. On just changing 'network lock' to 01 to phone acts the same. But on changing all the values on all the bytes the phone locks and asks for an unlock code on restart - but the purchased nck code does not work
This is over 6 months of trial and error, so I apologize if I am all over the place. Please provide any suggestions and I will clarify as soon as I can
Hey guys,
My phone stopped working about a week or so ago and I tried everything to fix it, nothing worked, stumbled upon this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045869
And decided to check if my IMEI was blocked (it was), I called Tesco Mobile, asked them to unblock it, which they did but I cannot make any texts or calls. I have tried:
-Reflashing radio
-Reflashing ROM
-Factory Reset
-Leaving battery out overnight, putting it in the next day
-Tried SIM in other phones - it works in other phones
-Reinstalled stock Sense ROM
The strange thing is, I can use the internet but cannot make texts/calls. Advanced info via *#*#4636#*#* shows:
IMEI: same as on phone
Phone Number: correct number listed
Current Network: Unknown
Singal Strength: 0
Location: LAC = unknown CID = unknown
Neighbouring CID = unknown
Roaming = Not roaming
GSM service: Disconnected
GPRS service: Connected <<< WHY IS THIS CONNECTED AND GSM ISN'T?!
Network type: unknown
Message waiting: false
Call redirect: false
Radio resets: 0
Data attempts: 0
Data successes: 0
If I try to change the network to anything other than GSM only then it just reverts back to GSM only. The SIM works in any other phone, my phone IS unlocked, was working perfectly prior to being IMEI blocked, so what appears to be the issue? I called up Tesco to confirm the bar is removed and they said it is, so, what gives?
EDIT: I can happily browse the internet while out and about - no wifi, definitely GPRS as I use it while I am away from my home wifi/any wifi I connect to. I am confused as to why I can use GPRS but cannot use GSM...
maybe bad sim?

SIM works in other phones and didn't have a problem with it previously... As in I can make calls and texts if I use other phones but only internet in the HTC Desire... :S
Hi there,
I was decieved buying my xperia S from a french operator which was supposed to be free from network locks. Unfortunately it seems not. I'm currently travelling abroad for a few months and i logically bought a local plan with a new SIM. When i inserted the sim in my xperia s, I was asked for a code. Since i believed my phone was unlocked i'm afraid i entered the wrong pin a few times...
Then i asked the company from which i bought the phone to give me the unlock network code. They did, but the number has no effect. I am still asked for PIN network code when i reboot the phone. After looking it up on the net i found that my phone was probably hardlocked. Here's what i found in my phone menu after typing *#*#7378423#*#* :
[X] Network 0
[ ] Network Subset 0
[ ] Service Provider 0
[ ] Corporate 0
[ ] Sim 0
Where should i go grom there? Is there any chance i can use my phone with a different phone operator? (my phone is still working with my french SIM) Can i still hope to unlock the network?
Thx for your help.
Since your phone is still working with your french sim card, my guess is that the other sim card you bought got locked since you entered the wrong pin number too many times. Getting an unlock network code from the operator doesnt change/remove the sim lock as it only removes the network lock off the phone so that you can use it with other operators/providers.
Try getting a new sim card (from the same operator you bought the other one from) and see if it works.

But the new SIM card I inserted had no PIN code activated. How could i PIN lock my phone ?
Edit: the PIN code i was talking about earlier was the Network PIN code when i inserted the new SIM card. I'm afraid i locked this one up
