Hi,
I have an Acer Liquid E for half a year now, and decided to flash a custom ROM on it.
I Flashed it with LiquidNext without any problems, but my GPS software didn't work on it.
So i flashed it back with a standard ROM.
The problem starts here...
The ROM I found, downloaded an flashed my phone with, was one for Fido devices only.
I didn't notice the message that it's for Fido phones only in the thread of that site *dumb me*, so I flashed the Fido ROM to my Liquid E *still dumb me*.
Problem is: My phone asksk for a code to unlock my sim card, because it thinks it is a Fido device...
I don't have such code, so I have a huge problem.
I already paid for a code, but I still have to hear that my phone has no matching unlock code.
Pretty obvious, because my phone is not a standard Fido phone, so the IMEI code has no match.
But my question is: How can I unlock my device?
I already tried:
www .acer-club. fr/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=814
(remove space after www and before fr; can't post links yet)
and also to put another ROM on it.
But nothing seems to help.
Can one of you pro's help me?
Thanks in advance!

Anybody please?
Id like to know where you found the fido rom

I did. I tried 5 different services (ebay, unlock sites...), but no one could help.
Everybody refunded the money because they couldn't find a code for my phone.
They say that it's because it was no Fido phone at first, so there is no code availiable.
cheers
Can you just not put another rom on your phone and try it then or will it still be locked

I tried several different ROM's, but the phone is still locked.
I tried LiquidNext, Liquid-Community-Rom and even the standard acer ROM.
Maybe the rom is corrupted try to DL it again and also ...when had you flashed your phone hade you removed the sim?????

No, I didn't remove the sim, didn't thought it was necessary. But the SIM works fine on my old nokia, so that's not the problem I think.
I already tried to download it again, but it doesn't help.
I've read somewhere that it could be the radio ROM. Is this possible?
cheers

pay service center = shop where I bought it?
Because it's an Acer phone, and the devices from acer take months to get repaired and sent back to you...
good luck I hope someone on the site can help ya
did you try using any other sim on your acer !!
if no sim works , it may also be the hardware fault or your sim reader may be busted !!
Maybe this is the solution
Yesterday evening i have installed a new "OS" in my phone (samsung Ace).The Os
is Glsmt v2.1 and i had your same problem but i solve it because there was a
theme that hide the unlocking of Sim.Now if your Os have a default theme try to
disabled it and unlocking the sim with PIN code.Please let me know if you solved
@aaki_rocker
I tried other sim, but still the same...
Hardware is not broken, because he sees the sim, but just can't connect to the network.
@s1m1
No themes availiable that can disable the sim lock...
Any more suggestions?
(thanks for the great help so far!)
Sorry for the double post, but it seems that it could be solved by flashin the stock radio rom.
So if anyone could help me with the stock radio rom, I would be thankful!

Ok just recently unbricked my phone and started flashing once again. First I did the HARD SPL change from 2.03 to 2.10 Olipro. I flashed the current vp3G a few times but I was getting no phone service. I flashed the schaps and it did the same. My was getting no service and when I clicked on settings it said this.
Unknown SIM status.
Only emergency calls can be made without a PIN.

Did some googling and found some sources where it said my default PIN was either 1111 or 2222. I went ahead and called ATT and explained to them I was getting no service but of course never mentioned I had a cooked ROM. They said the same that the default was 1111. Of course for some reason when I was talking to them I could not get to the settings to enter it. I told them I would call them back.
Finally got to enter it in and nothing. It is still not working. I'm in some desperate need of suggestions. Thank You.

Flash the OEM ROM from your provider. This should get your service back if your using a legit SIM
i see you have unbricked your phone, try loading up a new radio
http://rapidshare.com/files/60589318/radio1.54.07.00.rar
oh yea, thats the radio im using for my 8525, its the updated version 1.54 it works pretty well, hope that fixes your problem
I have that same problem but it seems that changing the radio does not work, although I havent tried every single radio. Some radios will give say i have no service even when i don't have the sim card in (it should be saying no sim)
This might help
If you are in USA and if you have a CINULAR sim card in your phone go to a AT&T store for a FREE AT&T sim card. It might resolve the issue as AT&T just changed some settings in some towers.

When I got unbricked I updated my SPL like you mentioned and now I'm running 2.10. I did try to update the radio but that also got locked up and had to hard reset to get it back. I was trying 1.54 also.

More reading and more reading. Ok I realize I have no GSM and no Radio. When I try to install radio it gets stuck on 0% then locks me out. Then I'm stuck in the Tri-Color mode and am forced to reflash ROM. I'm thinking "Problem 5" is the problem I'm having but can anyone confirm or help me out please.
My ATT flash screen says:
R None
G None

That means I have no Radio and GSM correct? What do I do?
warranty?
How far into your warranty are you, assuming you're still under warranty? Same thing happened to me. I played stupid with AT&T tech support (then Cingular), had no distinguishable drop marks or water damage, and they replaced it under warranty I even had it stuck on the bootloader screen If you're still under warranty, try to load an oem rom back on it and see if you can get them to replace it.

Is there anyway to completely erase everything that is on the hermes at once? except for the stuff on the eeprom, i already had to deal with that
can no one help us?
i heard from my friend who works at an att non corp store that just recently non corp stores were given the ability to give the new contract discounts. that he just has to make a 5 min call and it gets approved and they can offer you the 2yr discount although it might extend your contract.
reason im saying this is even if your not up for an update, any att store should be able to (if the guy chooses to be helpful) hook you up with the discount regardless of how long or how little you've been in contract.
just food for thought in case you cant find a solution.
when I reset my device i see no GSM ocassionaly, well since an hour ago, its been saying nothing but No GSM, I have tried to fix it using the unbrick direction in the wiki, but to no avail.
Hi. Can a T-mobile HTC TOUCH PRO2 (US version) which was stupidly flashed with a SPRINT CDMA ROM be brought back to GSM by reflashing it with a GSM flash ROM file using a PC running Windows? If so, where can I obtain the flash ROM file from, as well as the utility to flashing it back with.
PS: HTC Techs wouldn't help me except telling me to send it in so they can charge me more than I already paid for this phone already. Thanks in advance for helping or trying to help.

Well, my "know-it-all" buddy who's had great success with tinkering & flashing my other phones, B-R-I-C-K-E-D this one. Now he and I have been through the gamut on trying to reset this TP2 with the problems listed in another thread here using forum members' suggestions as well as the resetting tips for this model found on HTC.com with no success. So I had a thought in my sleep. Maybe, just maybe, I can reflash it?
Symptoms: There is no screen on this phone now. My PC tries to recognize it for about 1 minute or two, after it displays it's hardware signature in Device Manager 2-3 minutes showing up as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" with an exclamation point under "Other Devices", then, the phone's hardware signature disappears from my hardware list in Windows 7's Device Manager listing. It didn't do that before.
"My Other thread" referring to all I did in trying to revive this phone with the help of other members here.

You should be able to connect the USB, go into bootloader mode, and then run update the ROM. You should probably run task29 first to clear the memory. If you can't get the USB to work, you can flash from your SD card. Check the first several posts of the ROM forum, rather than this GENERAL forum.
find an official T-mobile HTC TOUCH PRO2 rom and flash it.
and if your device has hard-spl then you can flash any full gsm rom.

Nope no good. These tips all expect some sort of interactivity between the use & the phone present like being able to go into bootloader mode or expecting something visual on the screen. My TP2 doesn't do anything after flashing it with the CDMA process (provided by the Rhodium.htc-unlocks.com website), except turn on the little orange LED ever couple of minutes until the battery just dies out.
You now have a nice paper weight or brick. Flashing a cdma radio and/or bootloader/unlocker is NOT reversible. If you had only flashed a cdma rom then that could have been reversed.

If you cant get into bootloader I'm almost certain that means the phone's bricked. I realize that's likely not the information you want to here but you need at least a FEW things working on the thing to be able to flash it to a different rom. Bootloader being one of them.
If you cant get into bootloader mode,then i dont currently know any other way of reviving the device at home.sorry.

RMA usually it's totally free you only have to pay to send in the phone. I know cause I did the same thing kind of... I flashed a GSM rom on a CDMA phone and totally bricked it. My phone connection led didn't light up when connected. Then I call HTC, they sent me to call another company that handles US Cellular and got it RMA paid only shipping.
If your led connection lights up there might be a possibility you can flash your stock rom with a clean Micro SD Card. Just search for this method on the forums, it has been a working life saver to many.

The only thing that might work is to go back over the the CDMA forum and find out how the CDMA version invokes the bootloader. Maybe it is different than the GSM version? If you can't get to bootloader you are in trouble.

Bear in mind that (I believe) the OP said he Hard-SPL'd the device. I've seen numerous tales on here, of HTC declining to repair under warranty in those cases, citing 'Illegal software'. They usually then quote a couple of hundred dollars to change the motherboard, or a fee to return the phone unrepaired (the fee is their charge for the diagnostics).
I have the same error. Any new guess? In my country there aren't HTC repair stores
hi all:
anyone here know how to reboot the tmobile tp2 after I think I brick it? probably flash with wrong rom. now the phone will not turn off. stuck at "stick together".

Hi guys,
I had an Xperia Pro updated to ICS 4.0.4 stock, everything was working ok, one morning at work I couldn't get any signal in any part of the building, removed SIM and placed in a different phone, it was getting some signal, back to Xperia Pro, no signal again and when picking manually one of the networks was giving an error message ( like ... network unavailable or check if SIM inserted ), tried activating - deactivating plane mode, still no change, at a certain moment it rebooted by itself, but still no change.
Went home, tried a different SIM, same thing, did a factory reset of the phone, still same error and won't join any network.
Thought, OK it's time to try a different ROM, maybe more luck.
So unlocked bootloader, flashed Cyanogenmod 7.2, install went OK and all, but still the same problem, it won't join any network with any SIM I put in.
What can I try next ? Anyone has any idea ?
Thanks for any suggestion or advice
I think there is a problem with the hardware.

Hmmm ... it was in my pocket while going to work, I later noticed the lack of network signal, but there wasn't any shock or whatever, just regular commute from home to office.
Additional Info: I've remember something that might be relevant: after the reboot in CM7.2 it kept asking for the SIM unlock PIN I think, and it didn't work with the PIN that I knew the SIM had, after a couple tries I clicked "reject" to avoid locking the SIM.
Not sure if it means the phone become locked ?! should I try to unlock it ? It was normally already unlocked before, not sure if it makes any sense what I'm imagining here ...

I used the Central Europe because the file has a slightly newer date.
Had problems with using Flashtool under Windows, probably some driver wasn't correctly installed as my computer was freezing every time I connected in flashmode. Fortunately I have a dual boot and it worked under Ubuntu.
But no luck, still no service after back to ICS.
But I found some other thread on the net that pointed to check mend, and guess what ... doing a report resulted in "Currently blocked - CheckMEND has a record of this item having been blocked by one or more cell phone networks"
Now ... wtf can I do next ?!

Tried a couple of them, either they say they can't do anything ( if I don't have a contract with them ), or one operator told me have no blockage or record of this IMEI.
So ... more and more confused and clueless ...
getting into the SIM Lock menu of the phone ( using the *#*#-whatever-#*#* combination ), every digit is 0, I've read that it means it's "hardlock" but not sure what exactly this means and especially how can it be unlocked ?!

Hey all,
I need some help/advice with a t889.
First off, I'm in Canada and use Wind mobile.
I bought a t889 off of ebay that was blacklisted as it was cheap and I'm broke and need a good cell phone.
I figured I could just unlock it and be good to go (have done so with a t889 long ago)
Anyways when I got the cell, I downgraded the modem to a 4.1 one in order to unlock via the hidden menu mode . When I put in my sim , I could not connect to net work. It found my network but could not connect?? When I rebooted it was connected for a sec and then nothing after.
So after flashing countless modems and roms , both factory stock and custom with different kernels still nothing. I tried 3 different wind SIM cards and all the same thing.
Nothing I tried will get me to connect.
So now I have no idea what to do. Any advice ? Or am I missing something.
Ps I know this is a no no, but at this point I've tried everything (imei change, please do not ask me how to do this as I am not willing to give out that info as it is illegal)
So am I just SoL? Or has anyone else had this problem?

so post what you did to solve the issue, so that someone wouldnt have to create a next thread asking the same question.
Im surprised you found a T889 that wasnt updated to the 4.3 Bootloader and Firmware.
