I was just wondering if you have a blacklisted imei... Is it possible for the device to still work if the sim card is already activated before hand?

OK so hears my question I currently acquired a t moble htc sensation 4g from a friend who cant afford it anymore. I have a free phone with 250 mins a month and it uses at&t network found that out by the phone number look up.
My nephew also has a t mobile Sim it wouldn't dial out but didn't say no Sim.
I already know that the phone has to be unlocked to use other Sim cards and I did method 1 of unlocking my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107 but only the date was displayed instead of my Sim code now before I proceed with method 2 of unlocking I wanted to know if it would then recognize my Sim card and work or any other way to make it work before I use this method Please help.

I got the 'STRING: NOT FOUND' error on method one, so I moved to ADB Guide method and successfully unlocked it.

If you unlock the phone, it will still work with the original SIM card.
One possible reason that the other T-Mobile SIM didn't work is that it might not have been a newer 4G-capable SIM card, or the contacts became dirty ( they can easily be cleaned with a pencil eraser).

OK I think it's hilarious that his friend bought "anus cellphone".
In all serious ness, I have a Cricket GS3 rooted with CM installed. Is there done setting I can modify to make it work when a T- Mobile SIM is entered?

I've had no luck with this i tried to put on the Verizon ROM but no luck it wouldn't even let me start the process
I wanted to put on the ATT rom but the owner of the phone took it back and was trying to return it to the US to have it exchanged (i'm from the Caribbean)
Hi I run android 4.1.2 on an unactivated at&t z998 with no sim card and I'm wondering if its possible to still get data? It shows the cell signal up by the WiFi signal so I was wondering if there was a way to use it. Thanks in advance!

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Without a sim card you can't get any data or cell except for emergency calls. Your phone is a wifi only device now.
So is there a way I could still get some sim card that's just unactivated and use that somehow? I know that you can get one somewhere. If I do then what would be my next step?

Hi Guys, i updated my CSC recently to see if i can get the wifi calling working on T-mobile but unfortunately after that my SIM is locked to carrier. I cannot use any SIM other than T-mobile, did you one faced this issues and have any solution. Please help
Just wanted to confirm that, if you were to put in an AT&T sim, the phone does not recognize the presence of a sim and asks you to insert a sim?
Have you tried changing the CSC back to the original?

If I use a non TMobile sim it is asking for sim unlock code. I don't have problem with TMobile sim
Thanks
Have you tried flashing the original CSC?
Have you contacted T-Mobile for an unlock code?

Have you tried contacting Samsung to see if they will give you a sim unlock code?
In Canada, Samsung was giving out unlock codes based on imei only.

Hi,
I have a Samsung S8+ which I bought unlocked to any network, I have used it on EE and Vodafone. I had rooted the phone, flashed different roms etc no problem. After I got my new phone, I tried to get the sim out of the S8+ and the tray was stuck, left with no choice I forced it out but this broke the sim card reader as it wouldn't read any SD or Sim.
I flashed a stock 9.0 pie UK version (Unlocked) to the phone through Odin and got the sim card tray replaced, now it reads SD cards and my sim but it says network locked and is asking for the NUC code, the phone was unlocked before and now it isnt. I've contacted Vodafone for a NUC code but the code isn't working (says incorrect code), I've tried flashing stock 8.0 too, also not working and still asking for the NUC. Strangely, it isn't working on either EE or Vodafone Sims now.
Could the sim card tray being replaced effect this? Is it the software flashed through Odin?
Any help will be appriciated please.
Thanks
Sam
Is it possible not only the SIM tray but the whole motherboard was replaced? It would make perfect sense then. Check whether your IMEI and S/N match what was on the box the phone came in.

Thanks for the replies. Same IMEI which is strange, I've tried all UK sims and it's still locked. It says sim locked enter unlock code now but on every sim

It is strange normally sim unlocks are not undone by odin flashing. Sim unlocks lie in a non flashed partition
