if someone can help me it would be great. I had a working o2 xda. I tried to unlock it with the unlockers on the site and now it wont even work on o2 and I have just checked the imei number and its screwed ? what the hell have I done ??????
I can send and recieve txt on vodafone and tesco only. can not make or recieve calls on any network. This phone is not new 2nd hand is it possible I have screwed the imie number up or the last owner has barred it ? I have had it 3 weeks ?. is there anyway to find out if the phone is barred or if someone else has messed with the imie number ?./ As I said it was working fine .
cheers in advance

Same problem
Hi guys...I am quite new to the whole XDA thing...got a second hand XDA mini S, did a hard reset to start fresh. Trying to use it with Vodafone sim card though. Sim card seems ok, I can send and receive txt messages, but unable to make and receive calls, same problem...starts dialing and then shows 0.00 call ended, no signals, no beeps, nothing...tried with a headset, same stuff....I rang Vodafone to see if they can help with the call settings but they werent very helpful, as the phone is not one of theirs, they just said speak to O2, well I cant really as it is a second hand handset.
I was advice form Vodafone that perhaps the phone is locked to O2 and thats why it can't make any calls, but i can send and receive txt messages and the sim card is read as normal....i am quite confused. I have not tried to do any unlocking on the phone as the sim card seemed to work fine...Can anyone help....Can this be a result from the hard reset I've done..I read somewhere that other people were unable to make calls after hard reset.......
They maybe IMEI blocked, e.g. insurance claimed phone, stolen phone, etc. I think you can call them and see if the IMEI has been blocked. Search the forum, IMEI blocked issue have been discussed here.

Sorry for the stupid question but can you send me a link or directions how can I find a solutions to this IMEI blocked issue. Is there a software to unblock or change? Have not rang O2 to check, but I have the feeling that they will reffer me to the ebay seller.....as I am not a O2 customer, thats what they kind of said to me before.
You don't call O2.. just call your network service (Orange, T-Mobile, etc) providers, they may able to help you to check. Or just google for "IMEI block blacklist" for information.

If he can send and received text then its not IMEI barred, once a phone is IMEI bared you'll be unable to register with the network at all, and would look like the phone is SIM locked or just not getting signal.
It could be either, a bar on the network, low signal, or something weird with the SIM. Check the sim in another phone, if you can make calls its a hardware issue, if not then its a network issue
Thanks for the advice, sim card is working fine with other handsets, it's just a normal contract Voda sim card. Still can't get it to work with the XDA though. Did second hard reset and same stuff....can send/receive messages but canNOT make/receive calls. Does any one know if this may be result of the hard reset and is there any way of fixing it. If it is a hardware problem as suggested previously what is the way of sorting it out?
Me again...just tried it with O2 sim card....very strange...kept searching for the network for more than 10 min and nothing happened....had to turn it off at the end. 3 card don't work as well, same situation...searching for network....The Vodafone sim card seems to be the only one that gets full reception straight away but then again the problem with making calls remains...I have no idea what network the device was issued on before...
still cant get it to work tried all your ideas
nooooo i really like this phone but cant use it as a phone
do you know where i can get the cid unlocking proggy tried search but lost it

I used your Ticket system ...and didnt explain everything.
So maybe you friends, can help me out.
Here is the descripton, that I didnt send with my ticket (no 598668).
ser name: Chovus
Please friends, if you catch time, and want to help, you can send me NETWORK/sim UNLOCK code. I give up from iPhone, and give it to my brother. This is my first WinMobile phone, so I was not a big poster on forum. I am using it right know as a MP4 player ;-)
I just unlocked the phone, and installed custom ROM. New radio also, but SIM is not working...I know that I have to pay, but I am not having PayPal in my country (you can check it), neither any VISA.
I just get this phone from my uncle, and I wanted to use it in Sebia.
IMEI :
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please, and i thanks in advance
Sorry if my English is bad...I use gTranslate ;-)
Phone is HTC Touch Pro 2 (T-mobile)....so GSM
Chovus, please edit your post to remove the IMEI number. It is not a good idea to make that visible to everyone.
Thanks for advice friend.
So I will PM my IMEI if anyone want to help. Thanks in advance
that unlock service is not working. I get no response at all. go to ebay, search for "unlock pro2" it's $10 there and you'll get answer the same day with a code.
for paypal you can register in another country. or not register at all. you don't need to be registered to send $. just use bank card with enabled online shopping (like visa card)
hello .. be nice this is my first post !!
i recently came into the possesion of one of these little phones .. however i had no intentions of using this on t-mobile and wished to unlock the phone to be able to use on o2 .. however .. after following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674 which seems to have done the trick as the t-mobile gumpf has disappeared when turning the phone on but now i have a screen that asks for sim network unlock pin to which i dont have one and dont know where to obtain one .. i dismiss it and it takes me to the home page .. wifi works perfectly but i cant send or receive both text messages and calls apart from emergency ones !! .. i have since purchased another tmobile chip and the sim network unlock pin screen is no longer there and would appear to have a signal and two arrows pointing up and down and the g changes back and forth with an h .. but still no calls or texts .. can someone please tell me that i havent killed the phone and there is a fix !! .. i will admit i am a complete newbie to all this so go gentley !!
if the phone was blocked by the network what would my symptoms be .. only asking as im paranoid that i may have been sold a dud phone !!
many thanks in advance
chris !!
Hi and welcome to the forums
Unfortunately, I don't think the thread you linked has anything to do with being able to use a SIM card from another network on your phone. If I'm not mistaken it's more for removing the splash screen (eg. the T-Mobile one when you start up the phone) and also to get rid of the custom apps that networks like putting on their phones.
What you want is an "UNLOCK" code that you can either get online or obtain from T-Mob themselves - I've not done it personally before but you may have to shell out some cash for the code.
Have you tried using the original SIM card that the phone came with?
P.S. The changing G and H with the two arrows are related to the Mobile Data Connection being used by your phone. The arrow pointing up being upload, and down being download.
ah ok .. hense my newbie ness !! .. oh ok .. i thought that meant it would unblock the phone to be able to use on any network !!
i dont have the original sim .. but when putting the o2 sim in i dont get the g & h or the arrows .. and the little graph that shows the reception !! .. however when i put the "new" t-mobile chip in .. it all appears but still unable to make calls etc !! .. just a bit confused as to why the phone doesnt work on t-mobile !!
thanks for the welcome !!
for some reason i thought id change the network on the phone to orange and it seems to be working ?? .. am i missing something ??
then soon to stop working again .. since found out the phone has been blacklisted .. so it looks as though ive been sold a dud .. is there anything i can do to get the phone working again ??
Extremely unclear what you are trying to do. "Blacklisted"? By whom and how? I don't even know what that means.
If you want to unlock your phone to use on any GSM network, as LetoKynes said above, you need an unlock code. Buy one online and when your phone asks for the code, enter it.
i was trying to unlock it to use on any network .. but then found out u the unlock code .. so as i was eager to crack on and use the phone i bought a sim to match the network it was on .. it was working fine but then suddenly stopped working .. i rang the network and the phone has since been reported lost so its been blacklisted !! .. and as i purchased the phone recently i guess ive been had over .. as i am unable to give the original owners details !! .. pretty gutted !! .. still the wifi still works ok !!!
Hi everyone
This is my first post here and a sad one at present.
i restored my G3 back to stock last night and all seemed to go well but now my phone says McaFee mobile security your device is locked and is asking for a pin to unlock it.
i don't have this pin and i don't have a clue how to get it, i purchased the phone as a used mobile and it was all good until i did the root back to stock because lollipop was causing some serious lag issues.
can anyone please help me with a way around this if possible
big thanks in advance
Contact the person who sold you the phone. He entered the PIN. McAfee thinks the phone is stolen now.
You can try flashing stock firmware (kdz) file with CSE flash. It could help

Thanks for the reply
I contacted the seller and it seems the phone is infact 3rd hand if not more and basically he does not have the pin
i did the firmware flash and thats why I'm in the pickle now as the phone knows its been factory reset and MacaFee kicks in for security, the sellers not interested as he sold me the phone working which it was but lollipop was just killing the phone when i updated it and after trying to get back to kitkat I'm in brick land
If anyone else has a suggestion or can help then please do get in touch if possible
Thank you
In fact the previous owner set up an account here: McAffee Mobile Security.
Contact someone there and explain your situation.
I will contact McAfee for sure and see if they can help me but I do believe the answer I will receive will be can't help and I come to this conclusion through general security measure because I'm pretty sure anyone could steel a phone and call them up asking for the unlock code but let's see what they say.
If anyone has had this happen and have found a way around the issue please do send me a private message if you don't wish to publish it as I am stuck big time at present
Cheers
I have just got off the phone with McAfee customer support here in the UK and well to be blunt I'm up that creek without a paddle
Nothing they can do for me because even though the software licence is valid and I have the original owners email address that confirms this because I don't have a prof of purchase for the phone like a receipt or mobile number for the original owner they can not help me I'm anyway
All they said I can do is to keep emailing the owner with this email address and hope for a reply and if I get one enter the pin and it will unlock
So people be very careful if you don't have the pin for your phone as it looks like I have just lost £240 and now have a brick to look at
Again if any of you wonderfully cleaver people know of a fix please do help me out if possible
Thanks
Joe

have you tried any diff roms or cyanogen mod? maybe a diff software wont have the mcafee on like cyanogen mod
No I haven't tried to put any other software on because I can no longer access download mode as the McAfee has a kill switch and won't let me do anything from what I can see.
All I can do it switch on my device I can't even get into setting properly because the McAfee block kicks in to quickly and I've tried probably 20 odd times
If anyone can explain a way for me to flash another operating system onto my handset please get in touch as I will try anything rather than have a dead phone and e out of pocket
Cheers
Take it some private repair shop. They will solve your issue.

open the apk. on top , on the right there are like three dots. settings, scroll down to find device-buddy list.
under settings you can also see subscription info. there you can find the email of the person who set up the apk.
