[Q] Undo SIM-lock? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I suppose SIM-unlock is a hack, so i decided to post it here. apologies if i'm mistaken.
Anyway, i was shocked to find out that SIM-unlocking voids the warranty. I know it shouldn't have surprised me that much, but it did. So now i'm left with a 3 months old phone with no warranty.
Is there a way to remove the SIM-unlock, or better put, to lock it again to a specific operator so if i ever do need some repair to be done, my service provider does not refuse my warranty?
the phone is Omnia 7. the operator i originally puchsed it from is t-mobile croatia.

The one solution to unlock your cell phone for all networks is to enter on ebay.com and buy unlock code. Just type in search field: Your phone model unlock code. After payment you should add message, during the purchasing process your phones IMEI code, which is actually on the back of your cell phone box cover. After payment they will provide you sim unlock key.

that not true... you not loose warranty if phone SIM unlocked with code...
SIM locking is by your mobile provider T-scum not Samsung and when you go to service you go to Samsung in Dubrava not to T-scum
p.s.
da ti pojasnim ako nije jasno, ne gubis garanciju ako si otkljucao kodom bez softwerske manipulacije. i na servis ides ovlastnom Samsung serviseru (najbolje u Samsung u zagebackoj Dubravi) a ne T-comu... iz mojeg iskustva znam da priznaju garanciju...

ION 1.6 Donut - match contacts for country code RO fixed for SMS and phone calls

Hi,
I believe i have fixed the issue about matching your contacts when you define them with country code e.g +40722123123 as well as the issue with showing the caller id for SMS.
This is a fix on an sqlite stored procedure that it us used for queries on the contacts database.
USE THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK
Backup:
Code:
./adb pull /system/lib/libsqlite.so libsqlite.so.orig
copy this file http://www.diginesis.com/android/libsqlite.so in your android SDK tools folder then run the following commands
Code:
./adb remount
./adb shell rm /system/lib/libsqlite.so
./adb push libsqlite.so /system/lib/libsqlite.so
I am not sure if it is necessary but do a restart of the device.
Please let me know if there are other cases/country codes that do not work and I will have a look into it.
Enjoy and don't donate me
Any similar solution call id - country code issue for winmo 6.5 for Omnia II?
I recently bought my Omnia II (winmo 6.5) replacing an older Samsung phone and trasfered through sync w/ outlook my contacts to the new phone.
Some of the contacts have country codes (e.g +357 for Cyprus) in front of them and some don't.
When i get a call from a contact, if its nework sends the number with the country code prefix (e.g. when am abroad) and the contact is stored w/o the country code, then the phone does not recocnise the contact.
Visa versa, when i recieve a local call from a contact that is stored w/ the country code prefix in my phonebook, then again the phone does not recocnise the contact.
With my old Samsung I never had such a problem...Why is there an issue with this smart phone or winmo os?
Any fixes?
Thanks, I really needed this!
Will test soon.
Works as intended

Hi All,
I am experiencing the same issue on my Nexus one (using CMb4).
will this procedure also work on my phone?
isn't there a way to resolve this in a more formal way (is there an open bug for Android and if not how to open one)?
Thanks in advance,
Itamar
BlackJohnny,

Hello.
I do have the same problem on my current location (+242, Congo). The phone numbers only have 7 digits.
Is this fix specifically made for the ION 1.6 donut or can it be used on other models / ROMs?
Thanks.

I am on HD2 with Android 2.2, and living in Lebanon.
We have the following formats for phone numbers of mobiles:
+961 3 xxxxxx
+961 70 xxxxxx
+961 71 xxxxxx
The SMS application fails to match the +961 3 numbers because the matching is done on more digits. We store numbers as 03xxxxxx and 70xxxxxx. The matching system fails to do it properly on the SMS since the sender's number arrives in international format and the last 8 digits are matched which causes a failure.
In WM, this was fixed by changing HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIdMatch from 8 into 7.
Does you fix help with this? Does it work on Android 2.2?
Thanks.
Problem solved with Handcent SMS 3.2.8
Works perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy i7500. Thank you so much.
P.S: Multumesc !
salut am si eu problema asta pe un htc magic 32B cu android 1.6. Am rootat telefonul dar la adb remount imi da eroare iar daca vreau sa sterg sau sa copiez peste acel fisier imi zice ca e readonly(e montata partita ca readonly?) ce pot sa fac sa copiez acel fisier in /system/lib ? am incercat si cu astro file manager nu am drept de write.
libsqlite.so
am reusit sa fac backup la fisier.
am resuit si mount remount cu rw.
am reusit sal sterg da nu am reusit sal copiez. si acum daca vreau sa folosesc comandda su imi da eroare pt ca are nevoie de fisierul libsqlite.so.
mi frica sa restartez telefonul daca nu o sa mai mearga deloc?
si acum nu pot copia nicium fisierul libsqlite.so pe telefon in /system/lib/
Idei?

I was tray several options (off HTC location service.... clear storage....) but not work...
Weather in tab work normaly, data conection is OK...
Please help
Maybe you didn't set it to always update automatically !! try to check in settings
My device has the same problem
I've looked at all the possibilities, but I could not solve the problem
I have update automatically
No weather today
Even to me by a week since I updated weather today, and either tried hard reset but nothing.
If I update automatically goes on for days and nothing happens is written the "heater it to update weather" I do not know what to do, any of you not following that?

			
				
I have the same problem
It looks like the service provider support issue
Same problem as igorficko
Hi!
I have the sam problem for last few weeks as igorficko described. I can see that we live in the same country (Slovenia) so I was wondering if this could really be an issue due to service provider or something similar? I would like to be sure before I addres my problem to my mobile provider.
Thanks for any help or info regarding this.
best regards,
B.

Pinty, izgubi vsako upanje....
poskusil sem pri mobitelu, celo urco so na novo vnašali nastavitve... brez pomoči
bil sem na HTC servisu (Emonagram), brez uspeha, edino kar so mi rekli je da imajo na servisu še enega Toucha2 in da ima iste težave, niso vedeli za težave in so obljubili da bodo ontaktirali HTC (bomo videli)
Po moje je napaka na relaciji HTC-Windows mobile in se bodo najverjetneje delali neumni...
Upam da bomo našli rešitev
Can not
It is not possible that this problem that we have so many has never been solved in one way or another, or it may be that resolves itself, but I do not think I lasted three weeks as well. Hopefully someone will give us a hand!
igorficko,
Hvala za info. Mi vsaj ne bo treba zgublja časa okrog.

What do you mean, all the people who have the WM 6.5 terminals must throw away!
I believe that sooner or later the problem is resolved, I believe in guys that work to take forward work on the house because those HTC do not want to do more.
No i havent said that. Actually i own HTC Mega with WM 6.5 and i think its quite good. Of course its no match for Android but hey - it still offers quite good experience. But if the problem will be solved...thats another question. Let it give some time or try alternative applications

Sorry for my Slovene without translation.
igorficko
Thank you for your translation.
As for other posts later on I also do hope that this will get resolved because I plan to stick to WM 6.5 at least for a while.

My goal was that of the previous posts, it is possible that this model does not support with htc service.

[Q] How to restore the original software?

EN:
I read a lot of pages and still have not found the answer to my question.
How can i restore the original software? I must take my phone to warranty, cuz the phone dosent read any SD Card, in menu or in racovery, now i have this installed click and they will dont receive it if i dosent have a original software... I'm from Romania, and I bought the phone from Vodafone. Please help me! I understand that by KDZ restoring dosent works.
RO: Am citit o gramada de pagini de aici din topic, nu am gasit ce ma intereseaza pe mine.
Cum pot sa readuc telefonul la softul original? Mi s-a stricat slotul SD, nu imi citeste cardul atat in meniul softului cat si in racovery mode, am softul asta instalat ( click ). Imi trebuie soft original pentru ca nu mi-l primeste in garantie daca e rootat. Am inteles ca prin KDZ nu mai merge.
:crying:
Before going to warranty, have you tried another sdcard? Or have you tried formatting you card on a PC?

Hey Spookzer nu folosi metoda cu kdz s-ar putea sa-l strici mai rau.
Citeste postul asta si incearca metoda de acolo , lgmdp o sa-ti instaleze si soft original .

Thanks for reply, but i understand that LG cut the connection with KDZ and you cant make the unroot, you cant download the software. I heard about a new thing, is called Smartflash and i understand that you must have 2 objects for software ... not one like for KDZ, someone know about? :highfive:
by any chance did you make a backup of your oiginal rom before flashing? I mean you could do a basic factory restore but not sure how that would work....
or you could fry the phone completly so they don't know you were rooted witha electro magnet one friend did this to a phone that couldn't be unrooted

Locked account Vivo Nex S

Hi,
I have a Big problem with my Vivo Nex S.
I bought it on Chine, it's the chinese version.
When I ordered my Vivo Nex S, I received a "guest account Vivo" with an account and a password .
Now, I want to sell it but the problem is that the phone says that the password is wrong. But I didn't changed the password and I can't get a new one because it's not my phone or my email.
Thus, I decided to wipe data in the reboot system. But now, when I start the phone, it says that the phone is locked and that I need the password of the account to unlock it...
I don't know what to do but I can't use my Vivo anymore ans I just want to sell it...
Thanks you for your response ! If you Can help me I would be so thanksful

A password of a public account can be changed by anyone, try to chat vivo assistance team, otherwise you've lost your phone
The same thing happened to me, black screen with account number and password, no ?, I got in touch with live by messenger and they did not give me a solution, I took it in my city to a mobile fix store, the owner is Chinese , very kind contact with someone from chiná, got a program and I flashed my cell phone (5 hours) and solved, you will have to find someone who can solve it in your city, luck and a greeting

Root Huawei P30 ELE-L29 android 10

I would like to root this phone but actually, I search since several months but I have not found a valid solution...
Does anyone knows one
Impossible due to the locked bootloader oh Huawei phones. Occasionally you can pay a couple hundred pounds to unlock it on Funky Huawei, however they rarely do it.
Ancora non si può sbloccare? O qualcuno l'ha fatto
