Touch Pro locked after official Rom update

After updating (successfully aparently) my Touch Pro with the official HTC Rom update, I was asked to set my four digit pin. So I did, I typed in my pin twice. But now the phone does not accept this pin. It is locked, and I am not able to log on. I tried the PUK-code from my operator, but that does not work either.
Also, there is a very long delay (many hours, maybe days?) between every time I am allowed to type in any code, since I tried so many times.
Any suggestions what I can do?

Funny enough something similar happened to a friend of mine. Sunday I told him to Hard-reset his phone (over the phone). Min you, he isn't that quick . After configuring the phone kept asking for a PIN. He entered the wrong PIN ofcourse and was blaming me for giving the wrong instructions. I told him his SIM card was inserted the wrong way. I just gave up and told him to insert his SIM in another phone, which he did. He then unlocked his SIM by using the PUK code. In the mean time I asked him to do another hard-reset without his memorycard inserted. After this final hard-reset I told him to re-insert his SIM card, connections faced down with the corner on the right bottom. Reboot, and his phone was working again.
I'm not saying you inserted youw SIM the wrong way, but he did. And his phone asked him for a pin while apparantely his SIM wasn't inserted... Anyway, give it a try and see if it works.

[Q] Accidentally pressed "simlock" in hboot - help!!

While navigating the hboot menus on my HTC Desire S, 2.3.5 Stock, Sense 3.0, I accidentaly pressed "simlock|"
It reported:
FAT32 init OK
Open MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
It has definitely messed something up: my phone boots, accepts my SIM pin, unlocks my SIM, displays my Mobile Provider as one of the network options to connect to, but fails to register with the network every time.
So it doesn't mention that the phone is locked, or ask me to enter an unlock code or anything... but the sim that was previously working is now not working at all...
Any ideas? Will an RUU or anything get my phone back to a working unlocked state?

First of all I would try this: remove SIM card, SD card and battery (everything actually), put them back and reboot the phone to see what happen.
As the last resort, If you don't mind reinstall all your apps and data (it will erase everything), you could simply execute and hard reset:

Thanks - did that - but no luck - the phone totally reverted to factory settings, but the SIM is still not registering on the network... it seems a change has taken place at an even lower level...

The error that you wrote gives you "fail". Doesn't look like it has been done something to the phone.
Do you have any other option in hboot?
How about turn off the radio a couple of times (airplane mode) then reboot?
I found this by the way:
http://www.simonjstuart.com/2011/05...not-allow-a-connection-to-this-network-error/
I remember I solve it by playing with airplane mode and turn off the phone few times, with my friend Desire S.

It definitely did something - for 4 hours, no ability to get onto mobile network. Seems it mayt have actually modified the SIM card. I managed to get it working again - I put the SIM in another phone, booted, and then put it back in my phone and it's working again - do you think that's possibly what fixed it?

Could it be.. you never know..
That's interesting thus, looks like the SIM card got somehow "resetted" by the other phone.
I'll keep this in mind for the future.

Elephone P8 - "Enter security pin..." ???

So I restarted my phone one day and its asking for a security pin. Thing is, I never set any pin, not on the phone and definitely not on the sim. Keeps asking regardless of what you try - even with no sim in it. Never inserted an SD card into it either.
Thinking I'm going to have to wipe the phone...

Is it a privacy protection PIN?

N5 has No service, No data and SIM card sometimes not recognized

Heres whats going on
I have reset the N5, and flashed the July MM image. Everything flashed fine.
I insert SIM before booting, Android doesnt see SIM... so i pulled out the SIM and reinsert while on, and it sees it.
The Signal goes into an empty triangle... It says you have voicemail. And nothing else happens.
No data, no service. *#*#4636#*#* shows the right selection, it gives me the option to turn on the radio, but if i click it, nothing ever happens.
Under phone info, it sees my phone number, the IMEI is fine, and its not blacklisted when i check multiple carrier's websites.
I just cant seem to figure out why it wont just acquire service signal even when APN settings are right.
Anyone got any tips, tricks or solutions to this?

Possibly damaged sim card or sim card reader?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
dont think so, i think its software maybe.... When i do *#*#4636#*#* it will show my phone number on the top... if i remove SIM, the number becomes "unknown"... so i dunno

If it happens with all SIM cards, it could be a damaged sim reader as different areas of the SIM card contains different information? Not sure.

I have similar problem with MOB30P on T-Mobile network. The 4G LTE would work just fine (I can browse web etc), but the voice is where it is failing hard. I would have dropped calls along with calls not coming through (both calling out and receiving calls).
I downgraded to MOB30M and everything appears to working fine now. I have not opened any bug against Android yet, because I am not sure if I am the only one experiencing this problem.

Hi, I was googling for a problem like your one. My N5 does not recognise the sim at boot, but only if it is "hot". If I put it in the fridge for ten minutes and then reboot, all works fine until the next shutdown. I'm sure it's an hardware problem (already tried different sim) so I disassembled all the phone, and it looks perfect. With some cleaner for electrical contacts it can survive for some days, and then starts again. So sad, I don't want to change phone just for this stupid problem XD

I'm getting exact same issue with my Nexus 5 since CM13 0803 update, which brings MOB30Y to my phone I believe.
At first my phone could still recognize my carrier (China Unicom), but there is no signal.
Then I flash radio image from MOB30Y and the phone now cannot find SIM card completely.
Even reflashing factory image doesn't help.
I'm now trying to reflashing MOB30P to see if it helps.

Update to latest August security update radio and bootloader

Huawei 5c - locked out wanting PIN1

Hi
First time here - bear with me.
I have a rooted Huawei 5c that I'm locked out of. It requires 'SIM1 - PIN1' which AFSAK I never created. Normally one gets three attempts and then you have to input PUK(which I have); that I'm aware of. The thing is, it's not responding to 'three attempts', it just does nothing after numerous attempts.
A bit of background.
This whole issue began when I put a PAYG sim in the second sim slot. When I booted back up it required 'SIM1 - PIN1' for the phone to start, which I don't have. I removed the second sim and booted into the phone as normal. Went to the security section and this is where potentially the mistake was made. I thought the phone was asking me to enter (read: create) the password for the SIM card, but nope... it already had a default password, and was asking me to enter that. I entered (read: tried to create) a password twice, and BAM... now locked out of the phone, whichever sim is present or both. But this seems nevertheless like a bug. As I mentioned it is not responding to three attempts.
I have access to ADB and the command line, is there anything I can do with that? Any help appreciated, don't tell me I have to reset it
thanks
Cliff
