Hello!!
I have a question:
i have bought spv e650 that is locked to orange can i unlocked it by instaling other rom (that dont have simlock)??
and if it is posible what rom to install?? VOX?? DOPOD??
or if it is possible can i unlock my curent rom?? cid and sim

Oki, two little things I learned...
There are at least three types of lock.
SIM-LOCK - You're locked on one provider
CID-LOCK - You're locked to one "manufacturer"
APP-LOCK - You can't install some stuff on your phone.
While the APP-LOCK can be disabled by simply using a registry editor (do a search, you'll find tons of answes), the other two are a bit more complex to get rid of.
CID-LOCK prevents you from installing a ROM from a different brand or distributor. Example, you bought a e650 and you want to install the non branded HTC rom? You can't. It will tell you "Invalid vendor id".
For this check the Bootloader thread, some people here can do MAGIC.
For the SIM-LOCK... Well, either you pay your provider to unlock it for you or you go to a company able to do it. Still no way of doing this on our own.
Ka.

so if i remove cid-lock i can instal other ROM, but if i'll do that i will no longer have sim-lock?? is there a ROM that is whitout sim-lock??

Sim lock
Hi
Even if you flash the htc rom that is not sim locked it will not remove the sim lock as this is hard coded onto phone and currently can only be removed by imei check or your network provider, providing that they carry this phone.

Data Crashes

After flashing to a new ROM - WM6 the phone didn't boot the WM6 installation. Instead the old Orange logo appeared and entered in bootloader mode. I tried restoring the ROM from the original WM5 ROM (Orange RO) but it said Not Allowed. Ok... I flashed then a Cingular WM5 ROM and it worked. The initial logo changed and the OS booted. Immidiatly after the Windows Mobile splash I got a message "Data Crashes. Contact service center". If I remove the SIM card the message dissapears. I think something got screwed during the first flash since it didn't go through. I mention that I used the same ROM to flash another C600 phone and it works perfectly.
So... now I can boot up Cingular WM5 and play around with applications, but as soon as I insert my SIM card the Data Crashes message appears. It is my guess that some vital information such as the IMEI got screwed or a checksum somewhere is not checking.
Do you have any ideea how can I fix this?

You didn't superCID did you?
Sounds like you screwed over your GSM section, check with the SPV Services client if it can read your CID/SIM-Lock status
Phil

It was probably that... but to my knowledge I ran lokiwiz.bat.
No, SPV Services can't read the info from my phone - Illegal readZone attempt - RAPI init failed

this means your phone was not application unlocked properly..

Right! Now spv-services works.
When clicking on the SIMLock Tools I get phone unlocked 00000000000000.
When clicking on the CID Tool I get:
Current CID: 0800313131313131313100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Technical details:
Now: 160 = 87554b2c510d9ed5da3c2b29dc9068653ce2b67d2065595e3ce2b67d2065595e, 160 = 4d0c1bd5d17f2fc4
Chg: 160 = 87554b2c510d9ed5da3c2b29dc9068653ce2b67d2065595e3ce2b67d2065595e, 160 = 4d0c1bd5d17f2fc4

cool. Enjoy!

Ok, now try flashing WM6GSMUPDATE and then a WM6 ROM and it SHOULD work
Phil

I flashed the WM6GSMUPDATE and then the WM6 ROM and it still doesn't work. After flashing the WM6 ROM I get returned to the old ROM's bitmap with Cingular logo and then the bootloader appears. Any ideeas? Can you give me a direct link to the latest WM6 ROM? Perhaps mine is somehow damaged although I succesfully flashed another C600.
Thanks.

Any ideas? Please?

Is there any way to fix the "Data crashes. Please contact your service center." problem using a HTC Tornado?

Htc Sda T-mobile Is Dead
MY PHONE IS DEAD WHEN POWER UP ONLY SEE T-MOBILE AND DEAD, THE PROBLEN I HAVE WHEN I try flash a WM6 ROM AND MY COMPUTER SHUT DOWN, NOW IS IMPOSIBILE TO ME TO MAKE A RESET OF THE PHONE YOU KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO, THANK YOU AND I WAIT YOUR ANSWER

Can you get to the bootloader? If yes, then try flashing again.

Help with SIM-lock (got code, can't enter...)

Hey everybody, I posted the same question in the WWE_04 thread, but no answer until now... Hope it's okay to start my own topic on this here!
So I installed the awesome cotulla WWE_04 rom on my magician (orange SPV M500) and am so happy with my good-as-new pda, but I am having one MAJOR problem...
Dumb enough, I didn't SIM-unlock the device before flashing to the cotulla rom. I got the unlock codes from Orange and am all set to go, but the thing is I don't get the option of unlocking! When I insert a t-mobile card, it just does nothing but appears to be searching for network in the status bar. No message saying: "enter unlock code", nothing. After a while it just says something's wrong with the SIM card. Tried a couple of other cards as well, no help.
So, I also tried the SIM-unlock program from the XDA-wiki, but that one just says it doesn't recognize my device and that it's no Magician.
I also tried to go back to the original rom, but when I try to flash the rom with the original one it ALSO says that it cannot recognize the device, that it's no Magician.
Soooo... anyone knows what to do next? Can I still save my device? Anyone have any ideas how to either SIM-unlock it (as I said, I have the code, It just doesn't prompt me for it. Is there any other place to enter it somewhere?) or get back to the original rom first and then unlock it in the traditional way?
Main problem is that Orange no longer exists in the Netherlands (they merged with T-mobile) so I cannot even give/sell it to someone with an Orange SIM if I wanted to...
Please help!

i think you should take it to the place where you bought it, or to a service. probably they can enter the codes, or they can unlock your phone
Hope it'll help you

[Q] “Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network”

Yes, this old chestnut.
I realise that this problem is as old as Android itself, but it actually appears to be a bunch of different problems that manifest with the same symptom. I've tried all of the solutions I can find, and none of them seem to work.
I have an Orange UK branded Desire S that I recently acquired second-hand off eBay. To begin with, everything worked fine, but the phone hadn't been updated in a while so I applied all the OTA updates (3 in total), one after the other. After the first two it was also working fine, but after the third update it stopped connecting to the Orange network.
When I attempt to connect to the Orange network manually, I get “Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network”. When I try the same SIM in another phone, it works fine. I unlocked the phone using a code and tried a Vodafone SIM, but that didn't work either. I've tried removing the battery overnight, no luck. I searched a IMEI database to see if it was blocked, and it isn't. I've tried repeatedly switching airplane mode on/off, which doesn't help. I've tried a hard reset, through the phone menu and also via the boot menu, without success.
When I type *#*#4636#*#* to enter the service menu, I can see that the phone is receiving a signal, so the antenna's working OK.
Now here comes the odd part. When I try to change the wireless band to 'WCDMA Only', it refuses to change and stays put on 'WCDMA/GSM' mode. It doesn't matter if I use the service menu or go through the 'Mobile Networks' settings, it still refuses to change.
I'm open to the concept of flashing a custom ROM, but I don't want to invalidate any warranty I may have unless that's the only option. I'd like to try flashing an RUU, but I can't find a suitable one. The only Orange ROM in this post appears to be French language:

Any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm having the exact same issue with a HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) on stock ICS.
I bought this second hand phone and bring it back to Venezuela. The phone worked swell with local carriers but suddenly lost signal and got the infamous “Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network” message.
I've tried every solution posted on the net with no results, leaving rooting as the last resort.
So, before I begin rooting my phone I just wanted to ask if you found any solution to this. :fingers-crossed:
Any help would be much appreciated! :good:

So,
I've rooted my phone. used HTCdev, juopunutbear, clockworkmod, installed Superuser and got super CID. Also, I called my carrier and checked that my IMEI was not blacklisted (just to be sure).
Messing around with the hboot I found something that I'm not quite sure what it means, in the SIMLOCK menu I found this message:
FAT32 init OK
Open MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
Process done, reboot device?
<vol up> Yes
I've changed the CID to the original stock and got the same message. I don't know what it means and if it is related to my problem. I'm still using the stock rom (OTA ICS 4.0.3 T-MOBILE) planning to install OrDroid 9.0.0.
I really need some guidance over here. :crying:

Sorry to hear that. I'm still stuck with it.
I've flashed Ordroid 9.0 and the same error appears everytime I try to get signal from any carrier.
Someone told me that I should try flashing the radios or change my IMEI but I really don't know how to do it and I'm afraid I could permanently damage my phone.
Still waiting for fresh ideas to try.

Good news! (at least for me)
After I've tried almost all to solve the issue I took the phone to my carrier to get my sim card changed. they told me that someone has reported my phone as stolen in my previous carrier. So I went to the other carrier with my proof of purchase and they unblocked my phone IMEI right away.
If by any Chance you're having this same issue make your phone checked by your carrier for any kind of locks before messing with your phone.
Hope my experience will help any of you.

Manila ver : 2.5.20132227.0
ROM ver: Mighty ROM
ROM date : 06/20/2010
CPU QComm(R) 7600
Please let me know if any other info is required.
Before writing in here, I tried every possible way to find my answer in existing threads but could not.
waiting for some positive replies.

Are you using the correct radio. Sometimes flashing can reset the radio.

+1, someone just had the exact same issue, and he found that the radio had reverted to the WV instead of WU. Make sure you're still on an unlocked radio...

Dear arrrghhh,
I am so thankful that you replied. I googled and checked a lot of pages on internet. It seems that my phone is security unlocked as it displays "SIM Unlocked" but the radio in my phone (1.96.00wf) is either works in US or a locked version of radio.
As my phone is already unlocked so I believe that I dont need to buy an unlock code again. I just need to upgrade the radio.
Is my understanding correct?

Your phone should stay sim unlocked once it is unlocked. Try replacing the radio, and let us know.
Also you might have better luck searching here than on google for something this specific.

You would have better luck asking in the sim unlocking threads. I am sure it is all probably covered there in the first post.
