This has been driving me nuts for two days now, I have looked in most of the forums and have come to the conclusion :?
:idea: can someone point me in the right direction. everthing works except the phone. it has been unlocked to any network. I have also dowloaded the latest rom from o2
rom 1.72.00wwe
radio 1.17
prot 1337.28
exr rom 1.72
model number ph10b
imei 352938004339169
probley as its blocked here in the UK on all 4 networks, at the moment it will work on any network, as long as its not in the UK
Thanks for your reply. I dont think there is a way around this. I have tried and looked, oh well, back to turkey it goes.
Thank you

That is really strange. There's no reason why that shouldn't work. Both countries run on the same GSM frequencies and if it's unlocked then all should be peachy. Have you tried using your Turkish sim card with international roaming or anything like that just to see whether the phone can actually pick up signal?
Thank you for your reply It picks up all the signals ok, Jimmy but does not call or recive. I suspect it is locked or bared in the UK
it will not work in the UK with any UK sim, and it will not work in the uk with a sim from another country that is roaing. it will also not work whilst in another countery with a UK sim. But it will work any where other than the uk with a non uk sim in it
Applecom, do you have any information as to why this doesn't work? I sell Vodafone products in Australia and have told many customers who have various phone models that it would work based on my ex girlfriend's phone working fine while she was on holidays up there. She had an Australian Telstra sim with international roaming enabled. Vodaphone Australia also has international roaming rates for when you're in the UK listed on their website.
Is this just an I-mate thing? I need to know so I can inform my customers with reliable knowledge.
In the UK if a phone is reported as lost or stolen on any of the networks here, they will bare the IMIE number on there network, and inform the other 3 providers here that the phone should be bared. So regardless of what country you are in, if you have a UK sim from any network and a phone thats been reported lost in the UK it will not work.
it has nothing to do with what phone you have if the IMIE is bared in the UK it will not here.
Thank you all for your replies. I suspect, well about 95% sure it is barred in this country alone on all the networks. It is illegal to change IMEI here in England so I will have to bring it back to Turkey so they can sort it out. I was told it will work in all countries.

Fair enough. I didn't realise it was a lost/stolen/barred phone.

Hi Jimmy I did not know either.
Thank you all for the information I recived. I could not figure it out myself.
Its still worth checking with the providers, As a typical problem here is someone will change the IMIE in there phone, and they just guess a IMIE number. then they loose there phone, this will oviousley bar there phone But at the same time this will bar your phone,
The networks here dont bother to check if the IMIE matches the model of the phone reported lost, but they do keep a record of the phone model that was lost, So a quick call ( then probley a letter) would get your phone working again if the IMIE had been cloned

Hi
Please can anyone help?
I am new to this so you might have to be a little patient with me. I have an Orange SPV M600 (UK) that I assume I will need to unlock as I am moving to Spain very soon, am I right in saying that it has to be unlocked before I can use a Spanish SIM card in it or will it work anyway? Or unlocking my phone will only allow me to use other network SIM cards within the uk? Does this make sense?
I have flashed the phone with the Dopod Rom update great all the Orange stuff has vanished and I am ready to go…..
So here goes. I have tried to unlock my phone any way as it will not do any harm
I have tried the older version and the latest version of Lokiwiz03 but it still does not want to unlock it.
I have tried numerous downloads but I keep coming up against PROPHETv2Unlock I don’t wish to pay out for this code if too this doesn’t work!
Any Ideas on how I can simply type my IME number into a smart but of software that can generate a little bit of code and drop it into something like the Prophet thing and hey presto its unlocked
Can any one point me please into the right direction PLEASE???
I am going bald!
Nick
Well, since you have flashed it with a Dopod ROM, chances is that it may have been unlocked anyway. Get yourself a (say) T-mobile SIM PAYG card, that cost like 2 pounds over the net, which will get to your home within days. Try that on the phone to make sure that it is unlock.
What is the message that tells you that your phone is not unlocked?
Thanks will give it a go!
Hi, i friend gave an HTC Fuze (GSM) locked on AT&T.
will i be able to use it in europe if i unlock it?
there is some radio-flashing needed or it will just work with any european Sim after the unlocking process?
Sorry, this may seem a stupid question but i'm new to this world
also:
What is the best way(site) to unlock it? i've already looked into that and i know it is a service that needs to be payed off.
Thanks in advice
Ok, it worked, thanks anyway.
re: FUZE unlock for europe
AT&T unlocked mine for free. Just call and ask. I used my FUZE all over Europe and enjoyed very fast speeds from the local carriers there.
Hello, guys.
I have a problem. I am from Ukraine and i recently bought my Nokia Lumia 710. At the box there titles in Italy, and there also instruction in Italy. As i understood, there is operator from Italy called tre.it linked with my phone. My microsim [operator - MTS Ukraine] works great. There no problems, but i want to get full-unlock for my phone and i read that it's possibly that after installing custom rom, my phone could ask me for Simlock code. How can i know, will it ask for it or no? And what can i do with it? I am want very much to get full-unlock but i want also use my phone, not to keep in hand device, which doesn't work without this code.
Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone,
Happy New Year !
Also, i bought this phone, Xiaomi 10 Lite.
I i live in Belgium. No problems with my belgian sim card.
I moved to Portugal, and i can't connect my belgian SIM card to the Portugese network.
So i bought a Portugese SIM card, and i still can't connect to the portugese carriers.
I guess i have to unlock my phone. But i have no idea how to do this.
My previous phones were already unlocked.
The only solutions i found are asking me to pay.
All websites seems to redirect on here... (and some other as shaddy websites)
Are there any tools i can use ?
Any help or tutorial please ?
I have the IMEI code tho (both of them).
Many thanks for your help !
