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

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

easy steps unlocking
yes use the application that you have, I think you got version 1.6, when you use it don't put any SIM card on the phone then when all is dane, just insert any SIM, it workS!!
let me know
I have been using my T-Mobile MDA for more than 3 years, and suddenly it decided not to work on O2 anymore.
I have tried the sim in a different phone and it works.
When I try a T-mobile sim or a Virgin sim in the MDA, it works.
It won't recognize any other networks for some reason.
I have re-flashed the ROM, but still no joy.
What I've come to notice is that the IMEI number shown on the screen when you press: *#06* is different to the number printed at the back of the phone.
Could it be that T-Mobile UK are playing games, and want us to go to them to unlock our phones???
I would be very grateful to you guys if you could please help me unlock the phone again.
P.S: I have tried to use Xdadev_all_unlock, and that says "phone unlocked", but still no joy.
It seems you now have 2 IMEI numbers registered on the same network.
The IMEI number you are using, may also be 'barred/banned', for whatever reason.
You need to search the forum for the tool to change your IMEI to whats on the sticker under your battery.
Hi there Nokia3650,
thanks for your reply.
I have tried to search for the tool to change the IMEI, but couldn't find it.
Could anyone with the info on this tool please help?
Your help will be most appreciated,
Thanks,
Jas.
Vlodec, will have the best soloution to getting the IMEI changed.
I think the tool currently being used is 'loki unlocker'.
hiya Nokia 3650, thanks once again for the message.
Where would I find the tool? I have looked all over the place, but still no luck.
Do you have a copy that you could forward to me?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Jas
Jassy29, I don't have it stored on my HD, but I'll post the URL from the downloads section when I find it.
As I recal, its actualy in the charmer threads (should still be compatible, as its just a DOS batch file).
This is what you need:

Hi Nokia 3650,
Thanks for your reply, and concern. I just tried the program/software you suggested, but no luck.
It seems to some up with an error message, and resets my phone, but nothing else.
Do you know of any other software?
Would it help if I could change the IMEI back to the original? (I'll have to figure out how to do this).
Thanks again,
Jas
Still waiting for some help????
Hi people,
Is there no one out there that can help me out on this one?
I have tried to look for software to change the IMEI on the phone, back to what it was, but have had no luck.
I would be very grateful to anyone out there that can help me out on this one please please????

Jas
HELLO???? Anyone out there capable of helping me?

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.
Hello.
I am a complete newbie. Own 8125 CIngular. Worked fine, I switched to T-mobile, unlocked it with lockiwiz 3a (thanks, machinagod). It worked great until I for some reasons had to pull the battery out. It quit recognizing sim in ther - any sim - old Att or new TM. IT is G3 phone, had 2.25 IPL/SPL. I flashed to TM 2.26 (per all the guides here), gsm 02.25.11, Everything loads up great except for the phone part - It's still "missing or invalid sim" What do I do? Please, help Thanks a lot in advance
did you try following the unlock procedure again?
try to move sim a little bit.. maybe it's displaced?
That what happened to me.
Good luck!
To echo the post above mine, I had that same problem at one point, and just taking the SIM card out and putting it back in solved the problem.
I faced a similar problem when I went to another country and used a local sim of that country. I kept putting the phone in 'airplane mode' for 5 minutes and when got that 'airline mode' off, it worked. Cumbursome but it worked.
Hi,
I have a locked Spanish xperia x2. Following the suse update procedure reported in the forum I managed to load the GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar. After alla the cab installation the langauage is finally English but X2 gives me “unknown sim error”. What I am missing? thank and regards

Does the sim card work in a different phone?
Can you get a replacement sim card?
I remember that I had some issues with my phone one morning and I happened to walk by an official T-Mobil store while in downtown Chicago. It turned out that a number of specific, older, sim cards did not work due to an update on the network. So the T-Mobil guy just copied my sim to a new one and i was on my way with a working sim/phone.
One small point to know: I had the sim card for about 8 years. It was still Voice Stream (now T-Mobil). So it was a really old sim.
I have 2 new sim card working perfectly in my old X1. For none of them I have to insert pin code in X1.
In X2 I insert the pin code and then receive the error message. May this be due to the fact X2 was locked?
But shouldn't have been the loading I did of
GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar.
unlocking it?
what am I missing?
to unlock my X2 is GENERIC_UK_R3AA035_CABS.rar enough or should I purchase on the net an unlocking code?
thanks
no, you have done everything right so far. now just do the sues upgrade again and it'll boot the english rom (based on what cabs you downloaded on your phone) and your phone should be working fine. tell me how everything turns out. and good luck

Flashing a different language/rom has NOTHING to do with the fact that your phone is SIM LOCKED. And it will stay sim locked until SIM is UNLOCKED. But not with flashing a language or rom or anything via SEUS.
