YOu do not have to Sim-Unlock. You can use every operator.
Only CID-unlock is the problem.
but my 4350 IS ok
it is not has the signal
so i think SIM kock

They unbricked it for you?
WHich Rom does it have now?
Using Asergs WM6 the Radiorom must be 2.79 or higher. Otherwise you get "data crash error"
Godd luck
tanks
now it has the dopod chinese rom
ipl,spl:1.09.0001
gsm:02.69.90
os:5.3.0.0

Confused with phone unlocking

Ok, so I've been trying to examine what I've done but i don't know. The problem is, I unlocked my phone to all networks for free, how, I don't know, I only rooted it and installed/restored 3-4 ROM's. I didn't mess with digging on system files etc. I tryed to do this on the same friend's X8 and it didn't work. So, have I burned something or what? Very interesting, huh..
P.S. I buyed it new and it wasn't unlocked.
Are your phone and your friend's phone the same model? If not, that's the answer. Not all phones can be unlocked by flashing a new ROM. For example, my dad's phone worked for that effect. (A ZTE Blade) But my phone (A Sony Ericsson Xperia X8) doesn't work for that effect.
If I helped you, press the "THANKS" button!
Quite interesting.
Gonna try this with my x8.
Well according to other user,the SIM lock is included in the bootloader or the kernel I don't know exactly so something must have happend to them.
Also are you 100% sure that your phone was locked to a single carrier?
i dont think that its possible to unlock a phone through installing custom roms, unless the phone that the custom rom was developed on was unlocked? :S

SIM-lock info is stored in TA. It's hashed.
Baseband/radio reads this info. Radio handles SIM-card. It's hashed too (amss.sin/fota.sin).
Nothing can be done from within Android system to bypass this.
Yes, my friend's phone & mine are exactly the same. We even buyed it in the same store. One guy told me that unlocking with ROM is imposible and that's truth but in the other way he said that I burned radio controller or something like that.
@pandza94 Yes, I'm 100% sure, I tried with another SIM card and it didn't work (when i buyed the phone)

It's bought not buyed.
And this is impossible. You cant burn anything when flashing rom.
Please, stop spamming.

You are not the only one that unlocked x8 on that way.
I bought xperia x8 in tele2 and it was locked. I tryed other operators sim card but it didnt work.
But after flashing rom (instaling custom rom) I got my phone unlocked. Dont know how I do it but I do it ( I didnt know that I can do that, I just wanted to install custom rom)
@r4z0ry I bought it in bonbon option, but they have same delivery as tele2. I'm not so smart about android developing etc. but maybe ROM can acces those amss.sin/fota.sin files and unlock them? Sorry if I asked a stupid question
I dont know
I just bought form tele2 and I tryed to insert bonbon (tmobile) sim card but it wasnt accepted, but after rooting (or rooting and flashing) I tryed to insert bonbon sim and it worked, so I know that I unlocked x8 but dont know how

No Network after flash

Hi,
I successfully rooted my Nexus S 4G and flash it with with the gingerbread-ns4g-deck.
Everything worked fine so far. Mod looks great.
But I do not get any network service after the flash. It seems the phone is not recognizing the SIM card at all. Normally it asked for the PIN number after a reboot.
Now it doesn't. Also I have no option to choose a network manually.
I tried flashing different basebands (radios) and kernels.
Still no chance.
Thanks for your help! I live in Germany and have a Vodafone contract by the way.
All the best
GB
Nobody with an idea on this one?
Is there by chance an option where I can activate the SIM through entering my PIN number?
What should I do (install) to at least go back to the original firmware?
Thanks in advance.

No problem man. It's pretty hard to brick these phones, I've even seen someone flash a CDMA radio on a GSM but they still fixed it... not that I suggest doing that!

Weird Problem[solved]

I got this weird problem. I have aircel SIM card and I have been using it for more than a year. Two days back I couldn't get any signal. So I tried this SIM on another phone at the same location.. It works..full range
Then I tried an Idea SIM and even another aircel SIM on my g3 to verify whether any problem with cm7
But here also no problem... full range
Conclusion both g3 and particular Aircel SIM independently dont have problems but when put together there is some problem. Signal pops up for 3 secs and then disconnects sometimes.
Help!!!
Solution: Bought a duplicate SIM (had the same problem )and desperate to find a solution I choose my network manually rather than automatic.... and it worked what a relief ...will never know whether manually choosing the network in the old SIM would have worked but anyone who has this same issue should try choosing the network manually before buying a duplicate SIM(Rs50 down the drain )
even i had the same problem i thought it was because of cm7....

even i had the same problem i thought it was because of cm7....
Did you check if both the networks use the same GSM band? There is a method to check the band, I have seen it here and done that. I just don't remember how. It could be that your phone suddenly doesn't receive signal of that band. Ask the moderator or someone how to change the band. Keep me posted too..

[Q] SIMs unreadable

Hi guys! A friend of mine got this strange and unexpected problem!
He was using the Cyanogen 7.2 stable and he screwed a little bit (don't know how really exactly) so I wiped his phone and reflashed the ROM 'cause it rocks
Before that he told me that after turned off the phone, he removed the SIM card (don't know why) and after he re-insert it and turned the phone on, the phone is no more capable to read any SIM card!
How do u suggest to proceed? I don't care what was the cause of this! I exclude a virus, at least there're free app virus-embedded in the play store!
Anyway I'd like to solve this ... what do u suggest?
Thanks in advance!
Reinstall and leave the SIM in the phone?

If you have not tried different SIM, then try to test the phone with a different SIM to see if the problem still exist. If no problem, then he needs a new SIM.

Then consider your N1 as a tablet, a very, very small tablet . Or you could send it into repair with HTC and get the motherboard changed
