Hi,
I recently unlocked a Vario III. It was successful in the sense I could insert a new SIM card without it barring me from starting the phone, I do end up getting an error when inserting the new SIM, "Phone Not Allowed MM#6". Does anyone know what that means? I inserted a T-Mobile SIM and while it doesn't give me the error, it doesn't connect to the T-Mobile network either.
I'm mostly curious to know if this is a defect in the phone, network, or the unlocking procedure.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Wow........digging in the graveyard.
Have you check with your carrier to make sure that the sim you are trying to use is enabled for the network and not locked . The sim unlocker, unlocks your phone to use any sim. It does not unlock a locked sim card.
Have you ran the sim unlocker?

I'm in Bolivia. I have a samsung galaxy s, I unlocked with SUperOneClick (for rooting) and sgs tool to unlock it. Then after using a local carrier for about two weeks my phone got the mm#6 error. I was looking for solutions, and then my brother realized that I have to register the phone with the line (IMEI with line). Here in Bolivia exists a law that block phones if they are not registered at someones name and Id. So with nothing to lose, I called assitance of the carrier and register the IMEI I found in the Android menu (About phone>status>IMEI) with the GSM chip/line I have. Wait for 20 minutes and voilá! phone got signal and it's working now. I hope still working from now and on. SO IF YOU HAVE THIS TROUBLE CALL YOUR CARRIER AND REGISTER YOUR PHONE'S IMEI WITH THE LINE YOU ARE USING, IT'S SIMPLE. YOU CAN TRY THAT BEFORE GETTING INTO SOFTWARE STUFF.
HOPE THIS HELP SOMEBODY.
GOOD LUCK!

Hi guys.
I have a question. I bought a Motorola Atrix 4G (original carrier is ATT). The original owner tried to unlocked the phone with an unlock code that she bought, but some how the phone kept giving the "SIM network unlock PIN" screen. I have tried with 3 three different active SIM cards, even an ATT SIM card, i still can't get the phone to work on any of the networks.
So, is it possible to root or unlock the phone so it will work with any GSM SIM cards? I want to use it on Tmobile. But right now it's not even working with the original carrier (ATT). I appreciate any suggestions/ comments.
I solved the problem by reflashing the frequency

Hi Guys,
Need your help urgently. I have changed to AT&T recently and thought I could use my T-Mobile One S.
I have Sim unlocked the phone using the SIM unlock guide. Till here everything is fine.
Now there is no signal when I insert my ATT sim in to the phone. At the same place my old S2 use to have almost full signal.
I have tried changing the radio. Which ever radio(TMOB, Bell...) I use the result is same, no signal..Once while going to office I could see 1 bar and that is the maximun till now.
Could it be a Hardware problem?? Can you guys please provide your suggestions to resolve the issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Any help Plz....
