I ask because my Exec was unlocked in the UK for O2 and Orange, then I updated the ROM and sold it to someone in Australia (Melbourne), who says they get an 'Invalid SIM Card' error.
Anyone who's Exec *was* unlocked, and who has installed the update, please report
Just tried an Orange sim in my Exec, I have done the ROM upgrade and the Orange sim works fine, so I can confirm that the new ROM does NOT lock the Exec
Regards
The XDA Exec is a bit finiky about SIM's
I have had problems with an older SIM card from T-Mobile USA (16k version), taken from a Motorola V300 gives Invalid SIM Message,
Yet a newer sim from T--Mobile USA from a Sidekick2, (32k Version SIM), works fine in the XDA Exec
So I think you need to tell your buyer that he needs to get a newer sim from his Cellco, Most Cell Companies will supply an updated sim for modern phones if the old sim is not supported, it will not mean any changes in number etc!
Hope that helps

Hi,
I sucessfully unlocked my t-mobile pocket pc phone edition which i bought in the USA. Back in Holland my BEN (a.k.a. t-mobile) sim didn't work because it doesn't support the 1800 network.
After the unlocking i bought a Vodafone SIM and it works. Thank you xda-developers!
But how do i get a rom update since i am not a t-mobile or O2 customer? Can anyone get me a link?

Upgrade 900/1900
Just make very sure you never install the RSU (Radio Stack Upgrade) for anything but a 900/1900 phone, or you'll be in trouble...
You can safely install the O2 RUU Rom Upgrade packages to upgrade the PDA part, either normally or through the bootloader.
Just get the update from t-mobile
Just get the update from t-mobile's USA website
All you need is a valid T-mobile subscriber number to punch into their web site.
The entire block of 10-digit numbers 801808xxxx belongs to t-mobile. Try different numbers till you find one that works

Hi everyone.
I have an Orange SPV M700 with WM6, Tengo Free and Tom Tom v6. All working nicely, thanks to all the help on this forum!!
I have one last problem, i have ordered a t-mobile PAYG sim card so i need to unlock my phone for it to work.
I have read the big thread about the CID unlocker and seems some people have been having problems with it uncluding myslef.
Can anyway give me the download that will work or a link to it??? I just want to to able to use t-mobile sim in my phone, but don't want to give orange £20 for privelage.
Cheers a lot guys.
As far as I've been lead to believe once you've flashed the WM6 you should be sim unlocked. That may (assuming I'm correct) be why you've had problems CID unlocking after updating as you're already unlocked.
To upgrade to WM^ i used the three files at the top pf the related thread. Not sure if any of those CID unlocked. Tried a virgin mobiel sim in it and didn't work?
Some phones won't unlock the SIM even with CID Unlockers. HTC, O2 and Voda tend to be unlocked by default; Orange and T-Mobile phones are supplied SIM locked.
I've done the WM6/Radio update and my SPV M700 remains SIM locked to Orange.
I think the only effective way over this is to pay £20 to IMEICheck for a full SuperCID Unlock. Their service is superb if you are willing to pay the price!
Download this and follow the instructions (1 step really) ... http://pof.eslack.org/trinity-unlocker/
Mine is an Orange M700, was SIM and CID locked with original Orange ROM. Ran the above unlocker and could use any SIM on Orangae ROM. Then updated with WM6 and new radio ROM and the phone is still SIM unlocked and SuperCID unlocked. No need to pay any money for this simple thing.

Cool- I'd missed that one! Know he did one for the Hermes
One thing to watch if you are paranoid about Warranties, is that this version works by updating the Radio ROM, which technically is a warranty breach (though as most Orange Techs are so ignorant about these devices, they'd probably not know anyway!)
nice am goin to give it a try
Hi
Check the link on my signature - has SIM-unlocked my Orange UK SPV M700.

I have no idea how come my O2 Orbit became sim unlocked. I didn't do anything apart from upgrad the OS to wm6 official by using SPL (USPL) v.01. And it was sim locked before. Now, I am using an orange sim in it and it works perfectly.
So, maybe your orbit has already sim unlocked. try it.
Erm all O2 phones are SIM unlocked.
Really. Sorry for posting this.
Hi all,
I'm seeing this strange thing. I have received a Qtek 2020, and I tried to use it with my sim (TIM, Italian Telecom) but I can't see network service, under any circumnstance. Then I swapped my sim card with a Vodafone IT one, and I've seen full signal immediately. Trying to change to another operator like Italian "Wind", took me just as the very 1st step: no signal at all. I tried to change radio rom/os rom, and running unlock tools (they said it's all unlocked). Nothing changed.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance!

Wich radio version is in the mda ????
Try updating it to the latest version seeupgrading part
Hi, thanks for the reply (i was away for holidays )
I've tried *all* of the Radio ROMs for the device (found on buzz's site). Also for the OS rom and extended, when in 2003. Just don't know what else to do!
some older sims are incompatible
some people have reported success with
getting their operator sending them a newer
sim
Already tried!
It seems that works with the old ones as well as with the new ones (my sister has a 6-years-old card from Vodafone, and it WORKS!), but just from that vendor.
I'll just drop it in a trash can!
Hi to all,
I have recently purchase a brand new diamond with my operator (SFR in France) and received a brand new sim card. Activate that sim ( and of course the previous one - older than 1 year- is not working anymore).
I inserted the new sim in my diamond and everything is working like a charm.
I wanted to test some roms on my old QTEK S200. So I insert new sim in and the QTEK did not see my sim., saying that sim is missing.
Though it was rom issue, so I flashed another rom but same message.
Insert old sim and get the sim detected.
Obviously it looks like an issue with new sim cards.
Did any of you have encounter the same issue ?
Cause actually I have a pretty new QTEK which is useless !!!!!!!!
Please help
To all,
It seems that this us due to the rom you use.
I installed another rom and then the sim is now available.
But have lost the wifi function !!!!!!
