SPV M500 Locked to all Networks after Unlocking

Hi all,
I'm new to this board.
I tried to unlock this phone with the app for unlocking which In sent to the phone thru Bluetooth.
I ran it first time, and although it said unlocked, I did not see it, as it was hidden under the window, so I ran it a second time, then it showed an error message.
So when I closed all, I then saw the successful unlock return.
But immediately, the phone started showing: "Service Provider Locked, Pls input unlock code"
Now even the Orange SIM cannot work anymore, also showing locked.
The phone is locked to Orange UK.
Here are data's I get when I Power the phone:
R 1.05.10
G 1337.39
D1.06.00 WWE
It is locked to Orange UK.
Pls can some1 tell me how to successfully unlock this phone ????
Thanks,
dannyogolo

Unlocking my Exec...

Just trying to unlock my Exec using the brilliant tool by BuzzDev - I rebooted into serial mode (which changed to USB when I plugged in my USB lead), I ran the flash utility and it stated that it was going to check the device.
After this process finished it said it was going to start, although the previous and new radio versions appeared blank on the PC.
I clicked START and it stated that it had begun and would take around 20 minutes, however after about 10 seconds it said it failed, and that the utility wasnt designed for my device??
So...I rebooted into Pocket PC, ran the 'UNI_Unlock_v1.exe' file on the device and left it - after around 20 seconds it stated SUCCESS!!!
Now I'm confused as to whether or not the unlock actually succeeded? Is there any way to confirm it as I only have an O2 sim card?

Why are you unlocking if you've only got one sim
Did the flash take at all? If you're using Buzz's unlocker, after following the instructions and the 20 mins flashing, you should have radio 0.00.
If you've got to that stage, running the unlocker tool should unlock you. Then reflash with a commercial flash to ensure compatiblity. But the 0.00 is necessary before success.
I can't remember how much error checking we put into the unlocker. If you really don't have access to another sim, PM me and I'll help you out.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I did follow the instructions and the initial flasher did start, but after 20 seconds it claimed it wasn't compatible with my device!? Its an O2 Exec incidently.
However, the small app you run afterwards did state success, therefore is it safe to assume that it did actually work? Would it state success even if the radio didn't flash?
I also tried my Vodafone sim in it afterwards and it worked fine - I've just gone from o2 to Vodafone, I've got the new Hermes, hence the reason for selling the Exec!

Well, if the unlocker worked, and a non-locked sim worked, then it's unlocked right? Strange that you didn't need 0.00 first.
V

Yeah, just a bit - what exactly does the reflash do? And the program following it?

Hold everything one minute? Since when did O2 lock the Exec?
I have seen / used 4 execs so far, bought at varying times, and not one of them is sim locked?
the main benefit of the unlock tool I can see on the exec is to gain SuperCID but as I said, I have yet to see a sim locked O2 XDA Exec?

In which case, brilliant!!! Wish there was a sticky thread summarising this issue clearly, the only thread I found was 65 pages long and rather unclear as to the end solution!
Great news in that case! Thanks CrashOverride!

Sorry, I forgot to mention that myself, I've also got an O2 exec. I think there was a rumour that O2 locked some, but AFAIK the Exec was always unlocked to begin with!

Please some body answer

I own a universal o2 xda exec purchased from uk. It has been working greatly for about 8 month (on another SIM provider) without any troubles.
Suddenly it receives no signal, the phone doesn't seem to see the SIM, I can't enen access the phone settings.
After performing a soft reset I checked the device information and found that radio version & protocol version are BLANCK noyhing is written, also the IMEI number doesn't exist, nothing is written.
I tried to install a new ROM but it didn't work, I got an error message about my ROM image that is not compatible with my country code!!!!!!
I've been advised to reinstall the WM5????
Please advise.

Sorry to hear that was it an eaby or simialr purchase?
if it is dodgy or needs rom/imei etc,tbh mate your on tricky ground sadly
as its hard to get help and people may assume its stolen etc ,even tho it seesm your the victim here
i hope im wrong and someone can highlight an easy remedy
maybe the radio stack has just encountered an issue

no it was purchased directly from uk.
and it was working just fine so why now?
no way to format & reinstall the original ROM?

tbh i dont know,but youll be hard pressed to find anywere to help without a imei,thats what i mean
Even tho it's not yourfault i think ,if you start messing with the imei ,its a poss jail term
so maybe people wont rush to aid you,hopefully someone with more expertise may be able to offer help
i just mentioned that due to the fact it may be why limited response to the post
i hope there is a simple and easy fix for you

did u try hard resetting the phone? try installing the rom with a RUU with no_ID
have a look on this page, this may give you additional info;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal

Can you briefly describe how you did the ROM reinstallation (names of the files you opened, source, etc.)? You shouldn't be seeing the country code error message with the NO_ID installer.

have a look on this link;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those with Country Code error

You mentioned something about a problem with the radio stack. I tryed to install a No_ID rom and the system stopped at the radio stack update step.
So is it a hardware that has to be changed or exactly what?
and what has the radio stack to do with the IMEI no not appearing.
Sorry for disturbance but I 'm seeking any help

Data crashes help, Please!! MDA Vario

Morning all,
I need help please gents, last night I attempted to sim unlock my MDA Vario (tmob), I used lokiwiz ver 2, but now it is simlocked completely, it also reads on start up "data crashes, contact service provider". Was working flawlessly on Tmobile before this.
I'm sure its a gen 3 as the ipl/spl is 1.06, I have tried using the new version of lokiwiz to fix it but it will not go away (unless I take sim out of course! )
In my desperation to get it fixed last night I even paid £20 to imei-check.co.uk, but they need to verify that I am who i say I am?! By sending a scan of a bill? At this point I have not received any contact from them.
Can someone please help me get this to accept sims again, any help will be much appreciated .
Thanks in advance guys.
Andy

Try once more to downgrade your phone to the 1.05_CUSTOM_ROM, then use lokiwiz02b and perform the SIM unlock again STEP-BY-STEP without having your SIM card in there! See if that works!

Thanks Junner, will try when I get home from work.
Should I have taken out sim before attempting unlock intially?
Thanks
Andy

No, it normally does not effect the unlocking process!
What I do wonder is the following: Do you use a different SIM than the phone's ROM was made for? It is highly unusual that the SIM lock will effect the card it was originally locked to!

here is the problem similar to yours

i got it solved by paying 38$ using

Thanks all for all your help,
I tried again but it does not work, I guess I will have to wait for imei-check to get back to me, unless anyone else has any other suggestions?
Thanks again all
Andy

Trying SPV M3100 on Three UK

Hello all
As usuall we newbies tend to gravitate towards these great expert forums in hours of need. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'v been trying to get my old SPV M3100 to work with my new Three UK sim,
Iv run all the unlocking software and upgraded the ROM and radio with no error messages at all, yet everytime i try my Three UK sim in the SPV M3100 I get a SIMLOCK message and it greyed out so I can go no further.
My current setup is:
ROM Version 3.54.255.3
Radio Version 1.48.00.10
I wondering if it was the origonal unlocking that failed or weather the Three UK sim is just not working this phone.
Please excuse my ignorance, I've had a good root around the forum to see if anyone else has had this problem but I cant really find anything on it.
Cheers

have you tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665

thats where I started, I ran the software from my SD card and then ran the herm-unlock v3 after windows restored.
The very fact you've mentioned that probo means I've done it wrong I'll have to try again, I know it didn't work straight off from the USB connection, so I'll try the usb route again.
