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
Good day to you guys,
I have an HTC HD7 running Mango.
I just switched carriers recently, and noticed that my new carrier appears as 42604 on my phone. This actually made me scratch my head.
When I checked the issue, it appears that Windows Phone takes the carrier broadcast name, rather than obtaining it through the SIM card.
And in order to verify that this is an OS specific bug, I put my SIM card in my HTC Touch Cruise runnnig WM6.5, and the carrier name appeared correctly (Resolved through the SIM card I guess)
I'm not sure if this is a known bug or has been discussed. But couldn't find an answer to this question anywhere.
Regards,
Xeno
I bought my phone (allegedly) sim free here in the Middle East where I work. I was looking on this site & noticed that some users seem to have more up to date versions of Android and Sense than me, I'm on Android 2.3.3, Sense 2.1.
So... I put my Irish sim card into the phone to see if it would detect an update & it would not connect to a network.
Is it possible my phone is sim locked? I know that it is s-on. What versions should I be on?
The sim seems to be working fine in a cheap Samsung I have.

Could be sim locked, if not check that your APN settings are correct for the other network you are trying to connect to.
Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks (second option without the check box) > Access Point Names
Check these are relevant for the network you are trying to connect to.
I have gotten this message 3 times in the last 5 days. Each time I need to do a reboot to restore cellular/sms service (toggling airplane, wifi, bluetooth, sync, and 4g do not restore cellular/sms). The phone has the same AT&T sim card since day 1 and I have never removed it.
Is this a faulty phone, sim card or both?

Did the sim come with the phone? ATRIX 2 needs newest of sim cards to function properly. If that's not the problem then I'm not to sure.

Yes, same sim card that came with phone.
Could be a faulty Sim, i've had that happen before with other phones, just go to at &t and show them the problem, they should replace it for you!

I wasn't able to solve this problem about an year. But did. And totally sure that it is Device's defect (in some cases it is a ROM deffect as in my case, in other - hardware. Smth like stack overflow issues at GSM controller or so). A year ago when I had face this "sim card does not allow connection... " problem, there are no google serch results on this keywords request. Any. To remove this message I was ought to reboot my device every time it appears. And I was thinking that it is normal behaviour for my device. But now there are lot of complainings at the web ( minimum 5 of Galaxy Tabs P1000, thousands of HTC Disire, few motorolla Deffy, 10 Galaxy Ace, few of Nexus S and so on), so I understand that I'm not alone, and problem is known. So I went to Samsungs Service and they confirmed that it is famous problem, have flashed my phone with some magic ROM (magic because it is official but does not available anywhere in the web, XDA or samsung sites! ) and now my phone works fine. Any other solutions like battery removing, *#*#4636#*#* sirvice menu, new sim-card, flashing variety of modems and roms, didn't helps me. This is not faulty sim. This is serious device's defect. Bring your phone to manufacturer and let them repair it or give your money back. This is their problem not your.
using old 3g prior sim card
With ATT---If you took your old 3g sim card out of old phone and used it. You will get this message. You need to activate the 4g card that came with phone

I have exactly the same issue randomly at times when I try to register on network manually (MTNL Dolphin 3G - Mumbai). Unrooted MB865 ver 2.3.6 & updated on 18th May 2012 to System Ver 55.28.37.MB865.AsiaRetail.en03. If I keep the setting as Automatic in Type of Network & Operator it functions fine fluctuating between Dolphin for local access & CellOne on roaming access in the same area based on cell tower connection the phone registers on alternating between "E" & "H" automatically based on cell mast direction proximity, however if I select 3G only and uncheck automatic for operator then the phone searches for signal for a very long time and fails to show any operator saying "no connection available" & sometimes when "Dolphin" network does appear and try to select manually get the error as "this sim card does not allow connection to this network". I did complain with the service provider and they were supposed to get back to me after checking in their switchboard exchange where I also provided them my SIM number in addition to my cellphone number(no response). Also as is case with poor service of all Indian cell network providers even in urban cities, also face random peculiar issue of call not being received inspite of signal available on the phone & network asking me to recheck the number I have dialled while placing outgoing calls though it is ok and signal is sufficient. Also "Network Speed Booster" app looks like a lot of bull (any other good apps??)
I needed to know using the secret Menu *#*#4636#*#* for 3G GSM service which kind of network I should ideally select for best results & does this setting override the regular menu network settings??
I get "G", "E", "H" randomly based on my locations but no "3G" or "H+" and further at times these icons are grey and sometimes blue and in either cases randomly at different locations sometimes data throughput is not there as only one of the arrow shows active blinking. Any advise on the status based on colors and the blinking of the arrows?? Thanks!
I recently switched mobile operators.
When my previous operator deactivated their SIM, I popped in the SIM provided by my new operator. After entering the PIN code, I was connected to the new operator's network but I couldn't make any calls nor send text messages. I could surf the web via their 3G connection. I rebooted a number of times, but I couldn't make any calls so I went back to the provider's "shop".
They checked the status of my SIM and didn't see any reason why I shouldn't work, so they gave me a new SIM. They verified it in one of their phones and it worked, so I took it home. At home it worked at first, but pretty quickly after a few test calls it stopped working. I was still able to surf via 3G, but when I tried to make a phone call, I got an automated message saying my phone was blocked from the network for security reasons.
Here's where it gets strange: I have another Sensation that I use for testing. I popped the SIM in it, and I also got the automated message. But when I rebooted the test phone, it was working fine. Unfortunately, the screen of the test Sensation is cracked, so I wanted to use my primary phone. I put the SIM back in the original Sensation, and I was able to make and get phone calls!
But after about 30 minutes, the phone was blocked again. It doesn't help to reboot it, nor to revert to factory defaults. I even installed 3 different ROMs to no avail. The only thing that helps is to put the SIM in my second Sensation, where it will work on the second boot. I've had it there for the past 3 hours and a half, and I can still make calls.
For some strange reason, my primary Sensation does something that makes it get banned from the mobile network. Something that can be reverted by using a "good" phone. I have no clue what it could be. I have never experienced anything like it with my previous operator, and I've used my Sensation with different ROMs, kernels and radios on their network for 2 years!
Here are the technical specs of my two Sensations:
Primary Sensation (the one that gets blocked)
ROM: MIUI v3.12.20 (Android 4.2.2 JDQ39), I've also tried CM 10.2 and CM 11.0. CM 10.2 was installed when I was with my previous operator and never gave me any issues.
Kernel: 3.0.100-Sultan-kernel-r40
Baseband: 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M
HBOOT: 1.27.1100, S-OFF (Revolutionary)
Recovery: TWRP v2.6.3.0
Secondary Sensation (the "unblocker")
ROM: MIUI v3.11.8 (Android 4.2.2 JDQ39)
Kernel: 3.0.100-Sultan-kernel-r40
Baseband: 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M
HBOOT: 1.27.1111, S-OFF (JuopunutBear)
Recovery: ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.9
What could cause my Sensation to get kicked off the mobile network?
try this
type in dialer *#*#4636#*#*
go to phone info and select WCDMA only or WCDMA preffered
see how it goes

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know that code.
I've been on the phone with the operator's helpdesk a number of times, and in the end I was transferred with one of their technical people.
He suggested my phone was blocked on IMEI level. I can't see a reason why, but it made sense looking at the symptoms. He suggested I log a case with the operator to check if the phone is really blocked and to unblock it.
So for the moment I will be patient and let the tech support people do their work. I'll post the result.
