Hi,
I got a old Vodafone 858. As it was SIM locked I used the form on the german Vodafone website to get the unlock code and entered it. The phone told me unlocking was not successful and continued startup.
Now the phone doesn't ask me for the unlock code anymore but also don't register to the mobile network, so only emergency calls are possible.
Already tried wiping everything from recovery menu. Any help?
Hi there,
I'm sorry but I can't find anything relevant to your question/device except this thread: Unlock Vodafone Smart 858/ Huawei U8160

Thanks for your assistance. Was able to solve it for myself by manually selecting the network (T-Mobile 3G). Now it works even after switching back to automatic network discovery.

I have upgraded my phone and my old phone has been passed on to my son. The old phone is an HTC One S running the carriers Android.
Originally this phone was on the UK carier Three. I obtained the unlock code and unlocked the phone. We have installed a Vodafone SIM and it is making calls and sending SMS no problems. However it will not connect to the web.
I had assumed that it would simply just work on the web.
Are there other settings I should be changing to make the web accessible?
Sir,

Have a nice day

I recently bought a Huawei Y550 in the UK and returned to Japan (where I live)
In Japan I can connect to local networks (Docomo 4G) using my UK EE sim card but when I insert my Japanese (AU-KDDI) sim card it won't connect to a network - selecting the KDDI 4G network gives the error 'can't connect to the network at this time. Please try again later' (or something like that). I get the same error when using the various APNs available.
When the phone lists the networks with my UK sim inserted, Docomo has a 'tick' next to it and the other networks have a 'plus' symbol next to them. When I insert my Japanese sim, KDDI has a 'plus' symbol next to it while all the others have 'no access' symbols next to them. (Image attached since I can't insert links as a new member.)
I was under the impression that if my phone was sim locked I would be asked for a code when the Japanese sim is inserted but I have full function of the phone (all apps, wifi etc) with that sim inserted; I just don't have a mobile network connection.
Not sure if it makes any difference but this phone is rooted. The problems were the same before and after rooting.
My question is: How can I get this phone to work on the KDDI network?
Thanks!
Hi,
You likely do need to sim unlock the device. Probably from a website that does it for a fee.... If they can do your device. As for how to do it, I can't find anything relevant on XDA about this. You can try asking in this thread,
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] Possible to root Huawei Y550?
If that doesn't help, you will need to ask for help here, or try a google search,

Good luck!

Thanks for your help. I have extensively searched google and only found companies that will unlock the phone by sending a code but my phone doesn't ask for a code when I insert the new SIM card so I don't think it is an option.
I will try asking on the thread that you suggested - I am already following that thread (that's how I rooted my phone) but it is only really about rooting the phone and I wasn't sure about posting off-topic.
You can ask, worse they can do is not answer.
Or try the second section I linked. ?

Hi, I recently purchased a brand new phone. I factory reseted it and it bootlooped, which I managed to fix but unfortunately now I can not access the mobile network and sim management areas of the system settings. I do not know why, and the Google searching shows no help not related issues.
It's not a no service issue, I literally cannot access the areas to change mobile network settings let alone even gain service at all.
Please help
Thank you.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
There is no forum specifically for the Ascend Y320 but you may want to ask your question in the general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you.
There is also a somewhat related Huawei Ascend P6/Mate Forum with its own Q&A thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/help.
Good Luck!
