I purchased a r800a phone that is supposedly both rooted and unlocked (2.3.3). It appears to work with AT&T, but fails to work with my provider... T-Mobile. There appears to be no place to enter a PIN code as well to unlock the phone. The app superuser is on the phone, so that is why I believe it may be unlocked. When I insert my SIM card (or any other T-Mobile SIM card), it senses that one is plugged in, but fails to connect to the server when I search for networks. I have created a new APN designed for T-Mobile US, but that has not helped. I have the network mode set at GSM only. I also receive a yellow warning sign that states: "no service selected network (t-mobile) unavailable". Does anyone have any suggestions? Besides the obvious take out the battery or turn on and off the airplane mode of course.
It seems your phone is rooted, but not SIM unlocked. You have to talk to somebody on this forum named Alejandrissimo if I am not mistaken. He can do it for you real quick. Though, this information is just what I have gathered from creeping these threads so if I am wrong, don't hold me to it!
Yes i can unlock it, also check if you model is R800at instead a or i
If yes then is an Xplay 4g locked to att, I just answered you email
I think I am having the same problem. I am on rogers. Is there any chance you could help me out with this?
Again... my SIM works in other phones. Other SIMs don't work in my phone.
I get the message "Your SIM does not allow a connection to this network"
Thanks

Not to sound silly but did you guys insert the Sim card correctly? I inserted it with the corner piece down into the phone. It gave me the same error... Despite saying it was connected to T-Mobile.

Search the forums and google for what is called "trim area" (TA) because At&t and T-Mobile have a few different frequencies they use, the device might not be seeing the T-Mobile ones. I had the same problem a while back, there are some TA flashing programs online through websites or you can contact a user name Alejandrissimo through his Xperia Unlocker website, he can flash a TA file from another R800A that is functioning on T-mobile, he has many TA files for R800A / R800AT that work on T-Mobile which he backed up from users.

Hey 216, I know you had issues with your PLAY on Tmo, however when I got my unlocked ATT model it worked without a hitch on Tmo's network. When I PMd you all those months ago about not connecting it was because I had inserted the sim backwards.. hence my comment above. Yes.... idiot move but if this is the case here then I hope it helps.. if not... its a good laugh. :laugh:

1. Do I need to unlock bootloader in order to unlock/change carrier of my r800x?
2. How do I check if my r800x has unlocked bootloader or not?

1. The R800x does not work on any other carrier than Verizon Wireless
2. If you dont know, then it is for sure locked.
I've seen at least one poster on this forum using an r800x on a smaller carrier.

It isn't possible because you can't put a sim card in the phone since it has no slot for it. also it is cdma and the other sim card play models are gsm. the r800x was built to stay on verizon wireless.

Funny you mention that. There IS a Sim Card slot on the R800x. There's just a stupid piece of black plastic glued onto it. I peeled it off and found the Sim Card slot. If you want a pic I'l show you.
I just don't know if it works.
Xperia Play can be flashed to 'other' CDMA networks:
I've been using Verizon phones flashed to Cricket since 2007... including my current R800X! ;^ )
After paying $100+ to flash/activate my first xv6700 to Cricket, I have been doing it myself ever since...
My current R800X is 'fully flashed' to Cricket (including MMS functions),
and I have had 3. Here are the resources I've used:

Well I'm using a r800x with other carrier in India. The reason I asked the question is because I bought the phone who had already did the job of changing the carrier and ofcourse he won't tell me how he did it. :banghead:

Thats a negative ghost rider!
It's CDMA. CDMA cannot be SIM-Unlocked/Network-Unlocked which you are looking for due to hardware limitations (as in the SIM slot being disabled).
I had an idea that 216monster was supposed to try, but I don't know if he eventually got around to it.
EDIT: Of course, that is only for GSM networks. I don't know about the process of going from a CDMA network to another CDMA network.

Gee .. kinda threw me under the bus on that one... your idea does involve slightly/potentially ruining my middle housing you know ...

Ok, yes the r800x (Verizon xperia play) can change carriers. But the carrier has to also work on a CDMA network. If it doesn't the phone wont work end of story. If the carrier is CDMA you will need to look up how to flash the phone to operate on there network. Some carriers will do this for you but MOST wont. Infact MOST will tell you you cant do it. From what I have read yes you will need to unlock your bootloader to change carriers.
Get the idea of a sim card out of your head now. The sim card slot is as real as the hidden hdmi port. IT DOESN'T EXIST! Unless you have one of the bata models which wouldn't be possible since there GSM phones.

You obviously have never opened your R800x. It is exactly where the SIM slot is on other models. EVERY. SINGLE. R800x. HAS. ONE.

I know , I couldn't help it, I love that saying! Plus I'm willing to potentially destroy something..except I believe I read the sim slot physically doesn't work, so it could be beyond your idea, which was still a good one IMo.

It may have the slot, but SIM cards won't work in it. GSM and CDMA are two different technologies. CDMA does not use SIM, and CDMA phones cannot use SIM cards. If you stuck a SIM in that tray, it wouldn't work.

Never said it would work. He was denying there is a sim card slot in the R800x (CDMA model). Hardware wise, it is disabled, but it's there physically.
I have one from Bluegrass Cellular. Does firmware for Verizon R800x will work (also, unlocked bootloader needed for ROM rom that I want)?
I got an UNACTIVATED SIM card from AT&T and inserted it into my GS3 (supposedly unlocked)
No prompts for anything came up after booting. Is the phone really unlocked?
Is that a valid test to see if the unlock took, or does the Sim have to be Activated?
Wondering......
Thanks for any light that can be shed on this!
If you haven't got anything asking about some code or something then I think you're good. But to make sure activate your card and check if you're getting signal and data. But I think your phone is unlocked.
Give me few minutes I will checked that on my locked phone also with att sim.
Update: Sorry, can't check that. I forgot that sgs3 has micro sim and my att card is regular sim. Maybe someone else will be able to help more.

Couple days ago my beloved Bell E973 wont reay sim card.
Here is what happed. the original from bell, but I bought a unlocked code to use my Rogers sim. It's working perfect for 2 or 3 weeks. I love the screen. personal I like it bettter than S3.
I did not root or unlock the bootloader and one day when I put sim card in, it just said NO SIM. I tried with bell sim. same
So I rooted and tried all kind of ROMs, even F180S. that's fun. but still wont read sim.
If anyone buy it as a parts or want to fix it. let me know. I am in Toronto
You tried to re-unlock it ?
Also, if you flashed korean firmware, your radio will mostly be gone.
no really to re unlocked it, since I tried my friends Bell sim. doesnt work

Did you put it in the proper way?
I made the mistake of putting a sim in the wrong way once on my BB and even took it to a Rogers store and then felt like an idiot after the guy pointed out what I did.

Two things about your phone:
I may be interested in it for parts, depending on price of course. Mine has a dead spot in the digitizer, and as I bought it second hand, LG won't warranty it for me. I'd not want to spend more than the price of a screen/digitizer assembly, so it might be worth more to someone else.
Have you tried a different sim in it? If the phone is unlocked, try a friend's sim card, maybe your sim just died. Edit: missed your reply about trying your friend's bell sim
Have you tried a hard reset?
Have you tried reinstalling the original rom, using the original KDZ file and the "unbrick" method?
Can you browse internet, play store, or use any program with data connection via wifi?
- first, it might be the unlock procedure did it. I had 2 out 5 devices ran into this scenario after doing a factory unlock.
- second, but unlikely and super scarce situations, Bell might have locked up your device's IMEI that caused it. I got one relative that the carrier locked up his phone after doing a factory unlock.
My Rogers E971 stopped recognizing SIM cards yesterday. It is unlocked/rooted. Hoping I can reroot/lock bootloader and send in for warranty service. Still trying to figure it all out.

Woo911, you have used wrong title for your thread thus eliminating people who might know a solution to your problem to ignore the thread, inability to read the sim doesn't mean your device is bricked.

Just an update. I couldn't figure out how to unroot and relock my bootloader. I ended up sending it off to LG for warranty servicing via my carrier and they fixed it free of charge.
Hi , yesterday I got Moto Z Play on internet, it was supposed to be unlocked, so I put my sim card (TELCEL) but it didnt recognize it.
I put other sim card (MOVISTAR) and worked, then put AT&T sim card and worked again, but with TELCEL it didnt work.
So I searched and discovered that the phone is on AT&T.
Looked on internet and found that I can unlock the phone via a code, but in order to do it that way, the phone has to ask for the code when I put other sim card, but the request doesnt appear.
Does anybody know how I can fix it so I can use my TELCEL sim card . . . ??????
If you bought your phone via internet, it must be unlocked, but i think there is a problem with your carrier not with the phone. Here, in Mexico its a mandatory the sell of unlocked phones with any carrier, but maybe it could be an agreement between lenovo and at&t
If you bought your phone at full retail price it must be unlocked by law, if not you can contact the company that sold it to you and have them unlock it for you.
If you bought it with a data plan it will be locked to that network until after the mandatory period expires.
Having said that, it is odd that it functions with SIMs from AT&T and Movistar (Not related at all) and not Telcel. Maybe is you TELCEL SIM that is not working.
looking for an answer y sadly found the IMEI from this phone is reported as stolen/lost, maybe thats why it doesnt work with TELCEL sim card, lets hope the seller answers my complain
thanks everyone for the comments
where did you buy it man?
I bought it on linio.com.mx

Hi, I have an unlocked AT&T moto Z play from Amazon (paid 6,900 Pesos) and it works perfectly with Telcel, so the phone definitely is compatible. However the sim tray allows for only 1 sim card. Good luck with your seller.
