Doh!!! Sim Locked

Am not really new to flashing as have sucessfully flashed handfuls of ROMs but I do appear to have caused a small hiccup with my SIM.
I successfully upgraded my radio to a win mobile 6.1 compatible one and then flashed a version of 6.1 with no problems at all.
Decided then to revert back to mobile 6 and a different radio to the default radio I was using. (12.29) after putting on 12.32 and rebooting I get the "NETWORK IS LOCKED" message "Please input unlock code"
Is my only option out of this to call my provider (Orange) Or will the SIM unlocker (stickied at the top of this forum)work after a SIM has been locked??? I guess that is its function but it does not qualify that.
Thanks Guys and girls

Network lock needs to be removed with a code from Orange, just tell them y ou are going overseas and need to use a forigen sim in it

just got ranjus rom, cant get 3G network access

Just installed ranjus rom with radio 1.18. Few questions...
1)it still comes up with the o2 splash screen when I turn on, and it asked me all the o2 question(it is originally an o2 xda exec). I wouldve thought installing a totally new rom wouldve wiped all this??
2) im now using my orange sim in it, but it won't connect to a 3G singal(it didn't do this before I put ranjus rom on it either)

O2 Extended Rom Customisations Are Probably Not Compatible With WM6.1
You Need To Flash The Extended Rom To Remove All The O2 Customisations.
Go Into Your Phone Options And Set The Band To Auto To Enable 3G/GPRS And Not Just GPRS. (GSM = GPRS & UMTS = 3G)
Download The HTC Network Settings Tool And It Will Configure Your Device With The Settings Required For Your Selected Network.
Hope That Solves Your Problems.

I tried to change the band from gsm to auto but it just goes back to gsm and greys all the boxes out! do I need to use that prog you gave the link to?
edit:think I got it to change the band to auto, still not on a 3g network but maybe I am outta range.
the device kept turning off like it was outta battery, but it said there was like 30% left, now im on mains power its workin ine.
can I flash th extended rom witout looisng all the settings and progs I've just loaded on?

I Believe So...
I Think You Can Just Make Sure Theirs No "radio_.nbf" (Radio Rom) Or "nk.nbf" (CE OS Rom) In The Flash Utility Folder.
Then Run The Flash Utility And Dont Perform A Hard Reset After Flashing.
It Should Then Only Update The Extended Rom. The Problem Is If You Have Already Let The Device Autoconfigure,
Alot Of The Crap From The Manufacturers Standard Rom Will Still Be Installed On Your Device.
The Best Way To Remove Would Be A Hard Reset But That Means Having To Reconfigure And Reinstall Etc.
Oh And To Answer Your Previous Question About The O2 Logo, Ranju's Rom Doesnt Flash That Area Of The Device Thus Leaving The O2 Logo Intact.
Their Are Ways To Customise This Logo If You Like.

I will have a tinker later on when im at home in front of my computer. Any idea why I can't get 3G reception? its enabled in the control panel.

So does anyone have any idea why I cant get 3G network reception? Im on radio 1.15 now.
For those of you who can get 3G reception...When you go to Settings>Phone>Network>(Network Selection) Manual...Does it show the regular networks (i.e 'Orange', 'O2 - UK' etc) AND the 3G network (i.e 'Orange 3G', 'O2 - UK 3G' etc)?

Sim Card Possibly.
No The Networks Are All Called The Same Its Just The Radio Bands Used To Connect Data Services That Differ.
Maybe Your SimCard Isnt A 3G Sim Or It Isnt 3G Enabled?
If The Sim Is Not A 3G Sim It Would Only Use GSM I Believe.

it is definstely a 3g card as it works in my other phone! does everyone get 3g reception on orange using a g3 o2xda with ranju rom and radio 1.15?

Isn't there ANYONE on orange in here??? I have had a look around and I think most of the Orange network runs on a 900MHz UMTS freqency. And it looks like the Uni only supports 1900MHz

UMTS on Ranju 7.7
I am on Orange, using Ranju 7.7 and radio 1.18. I had the same problem as you with the default Phone parameters, but I was able to change the band setting to "Auto" in the phone options. Thus GSM Band became "EGSM+DCS1800" and UMTS Band "UMTS 2100". And after a while the 3G icon appeared !

Universal bad for 3G
i can only say that universal has very bad 3g(UMTS connection) because when most other phones show 4 bars for 3g..my o2 exec only give 1 bar..but it is OK for 2g or GPRS...anyone agree??

Well I just flashed my voda v1640 with ranju v77 Rom, and shows good UMTS performance with italian "TIM" network, both for signal strength and for internet browsing.
the Radio is 1.14.10 (it should be the original one...)

WM 6.1 & Orange UK

Hi Guys,
I have just replaced my trusty Wizard (running Wizard Love ROM WM5 and working great on Orange UK) due to me damaging the external antenna plug which caused the whole phone to cease receiving a signal
I bought myself a replacement Wizard that has WM6.1 Pro ROM on it with HTC Touch Flo. I put my Orange SIM into it and cannot do much else now other than send & receive phone calls - no SMS, no GPRS, also cannot access the "phone" icon under the settings menu or even access the "SIM Manager" either.
Any ideas anybody? I suspect the Orange SIM myself!!
Many thanks in advance.
Mike.

Maybe your sim card is damaged in some strange way?

I'm not sure - the SIM works great in my other Wizard running WM5. In fact I had this same problem with my other unlocked Wizard, and it was only after changing to the "Wizard Love" ROM that it was sorted out.
I have read that it may be that the radio ROM needs updating - I don't really know.
I suspect there are other UK users out there on the Orange network who have WM6.1 running OK.
Cheers,
Mike.

Better check your SIM card in other phone for reliability ;] cheers

I have and the SIM works fine.
Although the OS is upgraded over what was on my previous Wizard, it would appear that the IPL/SPL and GSM are older versions on my replacement phone. Is it possible to upgrade these without affecting the WM6.1 install??
Cheers,
Mike.

After a lot of reading I seem to have now sorted out the problem.
I flashed a new radio ROM from 02.07.10 to 03.02.11. I put the SIM card back in and found I had a number of voicemail messages and SMS's waiting for me. No changes to any settings and I can now access SIM Manager etc, etc
I'm just happy that I'm back in communication!!

Well, further to the above I cannot now access GPRS or the MMS service.
I have tried all the GPRS settings from my older Wizard and flashed different Radio ROM's on my replacement Wizard. Now on Radio ROM 02.19.11 as I did read this seems the best one for the UK.
Anybody else on here use Orange (UK) for GPRS or MMS, and has it working so I can see where I'm going wrong??
Thanks in advance.
Mike.

I've done a lot of reading and had a play...seems to work now. I even have the "E" symbol on screen, so I'm getting an EDGE connection now that is a first!!
I was using CR86 Touch HD Cruise Edition, so I flashed XDA2's WM6.5 M2D ROM onto it instead. This then automatically picked up a GPRS/EDGE connection, but I could not access the SIM...I got the "the phone is not ready, wait 15 secs etc,etc" message. I then flashed the Radio ROM from 2.19.11 and took it up to 2.69.11 (I have previously tried 03.02.11, 02.37.11, 02.25.11, 02.19.11 to no avail)
Seems to work OK, I have sent & received a MMS messages & standard SMS now.
I just need to set up my email & sync my contacts (again)

I can't call on my Miphone M88+ WM6

Hi boys and girls!
I have a quite hugh problem. I've just bought a chinese phone, a Miphone m88+ with Windows Mobile 6.
The phone works great, exept for one BIG thing.. I can't call =)
Let me describe the problem. I put in the SIM card in the phone, enter the pin code and the phone (most of the times) get a good signal strength and my provider shows up in the Today page. So far so good....
Now I'm trying to dial a number. It's dialing and dialing and after a short while three beeps turns up and the call ended with no success. I still have a good signal strength and it's looks like the phone has registred on the GSM system but I'm unavailable to call. Now I did a big NO NO and tried to call 112 (the european 911) and that works great! Okey, nothing wrong with the phone then.
Then I tried to reflash the phone with the ROM from this forum. The flashing went good. Back with the SIM card, perfekt signal but still no way to call. Off with the phone, on with the phone and off again and then it started to cooperate with me! The phone worked, the SMS worked! Happy! For an hour it worked perfectly and then i rebooted the device and then the phone went back to square one... BEEP BEEP BEEP...
I was thinking it might have been IMEI blocked for some reason and I have spend the last 24h to look for a IMEI changing software on the net and found a lot of them but noone works with my phone. And then again, after like 200 reboots during the IMEI tries, I could make a call, but just one and then back to null again.
My conclusion:
It's nothing wrong with the phones hardware due to I can make emergency calls.
The IMEI isn't blocked due to I can (sometimes 1 out of 100) make a call and send SMS AND I allways got my provider and a good signal strength.
I think it could/would/might be a configuration issue that Windows Mobile doesnt register to my provider.
What in the h*lls name could it be?! Any tips or hint from you guys?! Can it be the software dialer in the phone that don't like my provider?
Maybe any settings to change somewhere in the phone.. Timeouts.. ?
Is there a IMEI changing software for my phone so I can try to change it? (And NO it's not a ciminal act to do that in Sweden =) )
Please please help me!
Phone: Miphone m88+
OS: Windows Mobile 6 (Build 18165.0.5.0)
Processor: ARM926T OMAP850
Service provider: Tele2/Comviq, Sweden

SIM locked? And mount random ROM without brick the device... you are a lucky boy ^^ try with Sim of another Carrier.
D'rath

Okey...
Here's the deal...
Now I have been tried out another carrier (Telia) on the phone and the phone works perfectly. =)
Now to the problem. The Miphone don't have 3G (none of the chinese phone does)
The Tele2 SIM card is a newer card with access to both 2G and 3G network here in Sweden and the Telia card is a older card with only access to 2G.
I can use my new Tele2 card in older (2G) "normal" phones and then the card/phone just connect to 2G. But in this phone it looks like it won't work at all. Is there any settings i can change exept putting the phone on manual network selection?
I really need to use my Tele2 carrier and you can't order a old SIM card with only 2G access from the carrier =)
What to do? =)

Mobile Network Not Available

Hi folks,
This is my first post on here. I'm having a problem with my phone which I think is quite unique and I hope someone on here can help me fix it before I buy a new device.
I have a galaxy nexus (maguro) running cyaogenmod.
Previously I was running CM11 (cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-maguro) from the CM website and updated it to CM12.1 cm-12.1-20160719-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO8DL-maguro) a few weeks ago.
When I rebooted my phone it was running very slow (and getting very warm) so I did a factory reset and re-installed CM12.1.
It started working ok but I noticed that my phone was displaying 'emergency calls only' even though the network reception in the status bar was full, displaying 'H' (3g) and allowing me to connect to the internet using 3G.
Whenever I make a call it states 'Mobile network not available' and I cannot send text messages.
I tried phoning O2 and they gave me a new sim but the problem was still happening. I then tried putting my girlfriend's EE sim into the phone and I could make calls/send messages. I also went to France on holiday and could use my phone to phone/text using my O2 sim abroad. Whenever I put my O2 sim into another phone I can make calls and text.
So basically it is only when my O2 sim is specifically in the Galaxy Nexus that I cannot make calls/send texts but can still use 3g.
Oh yeah when I go to Settings>Mobile Network Settings>Network Operators the following available networks are shown:
O2-UK
T-Mobile UK
3 UK
vodafone UK
Orange
When I select O2-UK is states 'cannot connect at this time. Please try again later'
I've tried re-installing the older version of CM11 and today I tried wiping the entire phone (internal sd card etc) and it is still happening. Can anyone help? Is there something else I can wipe, or setting I can change?
Thanks in advance
