[Q] Arc Unlocked

Good evening everyone!
My arc was previously locked to ThreeUK, got it unlocked tested with different UK sim cards, working fine with other networks. Now i want to flash Generic UK version but i've a question, will it be locked again if i Update/Flash different roms?
Under service menu>sim lock it states as following; (if that matters)
[] Network 5
[] Network subset 5
[] Service provider 5
[] Corporate 5
[] SIM 0
What does these numbers mean anyway?
Thanks.

I'm not too sure what the numbers represent but I'm guessing that it's the number of times a locked state can be changed ??? Or that could be me just talking absolute crap. I'll let someone answer that question for you. Sorry.
Regarding your other question, it's safe to say that you won't be SIM-locked again even if you flash the generic UK firmware.
But you won't be able to try out custom ROMs or kernals because your bootloader cannot be unlocked as of now.

No..........

[] Network 5
[] Network subset 5
[] Service provider 5
[] Corporate 5
[] SIM 0
For all I know that means you have a fully open phone (no locks whatsoever) and if ever there is, you have 5 times of unlocking a specific lock.
Network = unlocked by NCK (network unlock code)
Network subset = unlocked by NSCK (network subset unlock code)
Service provider = unlocked by SPCK (service provider unlock code)
Corporate = unlocked by CCK (company/corporate unlock code)
[] SIM 0 = Indicates phone accepts any SIM.
Since there is no organized reference and hopefully this post helps others, here's another sample:
[X] Network 3
[] Network subset 5
[] Service provider 5
[] Corporate 5
[] SIM 0
The above means there's 3 attempts remaining to enter an NCK to unlock the phone to accept other network. The X means that kind lock is enabled.
[X] Network 0
[] Network subset 5
[] Service provider 5
[] Corporate 5
[] SIM 0
The above means that all attempts were exhausted, and the phone will not accept any NCK whether valid or invalid. In best cases it will only work with the SIM of the network it is originally locked onto, if it will ever work. As far as I read, no solution to reset the counter but only thru cable, but I have yet to find an instruction how to do that.
If anyone knows how to reset it please post.
For the sim-locked bootloader unlocking, its still work in progress nobody knows when will it arrive. It would be a major breakthrough in case, as it means units can be sim-unlocked already w/o buying codes (even if your tries ran out), and fastboot would be enabled therefore enabling custom ROM or kernels in. Everybody's hopeful and waiting.

[Q] UMTS Network not accessible

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

[Q] GPRS connection but no GSM

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

I haven't tried the 4.3 ftf file, but the sim card is working fine. More over the device is not locked to any network.

@Ben Ling :
I have installed the new firmware 4.3 Build No: 15.4.A.0.23, But still the sim lock remains same. [x] network 0

Bro if you are on locked bootloader than its better to take your xperia to service center and can you post a screenshot or pic something

Surely i will try it and keep it posted. Thank you for spending your valuable time.

I have tried with other Sim card too but its not getting signal for Sim card. It says like invalid sim. And I checked with another phone of same model, its showing same [x] network and other things same but there is no problem with that one. Any other possible way to find what is the problem.??
