Been trawling around this and other forums for an answer to something thats been bugging me for almost a week.
I have t-mobile mda i bought off a chap a week ago. I knew it wasn't sim unlocked but was ok with that. I went thru the usual lokiwiz procedure and got the unlock code. The only problem is that i get this message when i stick a sim in: You have tried 10 times. Please wait for retry.
I have had the mda on for more than 3 days and the message is still there.
The mda is a G4 wizard, and i used lokiwiz 0.3b
Any suggestions, anyone?

I have a t-mobile mda compact on contract, which i only got for the phone. I use my o2 sim card in it. Last Friday i lost my mda compact with my o2 sim card in it. I phoned up t-mobile and got the phone blocked then phoned o2 and got my sim blocked.
Then i went and got a new o2 sim card and used it in my c500. The next day i got a phone call from a friend of mine and he said that someone had phoned him saying that he had my mda compact!! lucky me!!
I then collected my mda and put my o2 sim card in it and it worked fine. I still carried on using my c500 as the stylus for my mda was not there with the phone.
Then last night while i was at work my c500 broke and wont stay on for any longer than 10secs. I thought lucky that i have my mda, but when i put my 02 sim card in the mda this morning my mda wont pick up a signal. I have also tried other sim cards in the mda but none work.
I phoned t-mobile and they assure me that my phone is unblocked. o2 say that i may need to get a new phone??
I'm a bit confused as to what could be wrong.
Is it possible that my phone is locked to t-mobile again??
Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated
just do a reset
if it wouldnt help make a hard reset (holding power button + reset button with stylus)
I've already done a hard reset but still the same. There is a exclamation mark next to the signal icon, any ideas what that means??
same to my O2
hello
well well i did a upgrade to my rom and ext rom now i got the same " ! " mark next to the network signal on my phone and same it would not pick up any signals
so is my phone also locked
can some one help me !!!!
MDA compact issue.
Just saw your post on the XDA forum re: no MDA signal after loss.
I work at T-Mobile (UK) head-office in Hatfield and while I’m not in Customer Services (or even a customer facing role!), my job as a Transmission Network Planning Engineer does give me access to all the systems that I could help you out.
While I don't actively post to these forums (yet) I have been keeping up with the PDA/Mobile scene since the beginning.
Worst case scenario, even if I can’t help I could confirm the status of your IMEI bar or SIM block, etc and pass you internally to the appropriate team.
My direct extension is 01707 313319, (switchboard - 01707315000) however I am finishing work at 5.30, so you are welcome to ring me tomorrow.
I know how frustrating it can be to get nowhere especially with an MDAc and cust-serv, so I’d be glad to help.
Kind regards,

hi
i dont know
but its working fine after the reset again i did
I am about to get my MDA sometime next week and as far as I know it is SIM locked (probably CID locked too). I am a Cingular customer and only have a Cingular and ATT SIM cards at my disposal.
My question is: Do I absolutely must have a T-Mobile SIM card in order to unlock the phone? Will I be able to unlock it w/o having any SIM card in? What if I stick my Cingular/ATT SIM cards?
Also - does the tutorial over here on how to SIM unlock it would also CID unlock it?
Thanks!
bump!
I unlocked my MDA without the SIM card.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
how did you do that?
ump!
I also unlocked my MDA without a T-Mobile SIM card...
just get lokiwiz
it helps to read the forums instead of bumping your own thread (twice within 8 hours is excessive)... people will just ignore it some more.
Hi: I'm new here. This forum seems like a great place to hang out! Where can I d/l the latest lokiwiz? I've searched for the last 1/2 hour for a working link. Thanx!
Found the answer. Sorry for the wasted post.
MDA Vario unlocking
Im new here can any1 help me to unlock ma MDA Vario which ive just bought from ebay n itz lock on T-Mobile and i dont have T-Mobile sim,thank you v much
so basically the phone should work fine as a PDA with a sim in it... right?
yes. you should still be able to use it as a pda. you just wont get any signal for calls.
Well, I am a proud owner of a working MDA. I love my baby!
Hi, I tried to unlock my Vario II yesterday, however I get a
"SimLock"
"You have tried 7 times, please wait until timeout" message.
So I still can't use it with another sim!!
Any ideas?
Hi people,
Is it ok for the IMEI on my phone screen to be different to the one printed under the battery?
I have had this phone from new, as it was an upgrade, and I had unlocked it to use on O2, instead of T-Mobile.
A few months ago, the phone went funny, and I re-installed the ROM. A few days later, it stopped recognizing the O2 sim card, and now only takes T-Mobile or Virgin cards.
I have tried the xda-unlock softwares, but no luck.
Could anyone out there please help me out????
Thanks in advance,
Jassy
hi guys, i had same problem too (O2 XDA Mini), i feel my magician is illegally serviced...
how to change the IMEI??? (
Hi all - I believe this is the right place to post so here goes. I had an 8525 which I successfully unlocked with HTC_Hermes_SIM_SID_Unlock_v3a and also applied Hard-SPL-V7 successfully.
For the last two months I had installed at least six different ROMs without any difficulty or problems.
Wanted to sell the phone on Ebay and move on to another phone so I "restored" the phone to almost stock with RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_.exe
Shipped the phone to buyer and got this email back.
"put my Movistar simcard in
int.roaming
with At&t, it asked me for an unlocking code and
like 3 minutes later
after that it turned off and doesn't turn on
again, even after 5 hours
of charging. What shoul I do with
it? thanks."
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Littlalex
From what the buyer is describing, the phone isn't unlocked. Have you tested out with anotehr carrier SIM card before shipping?
If you used the phone throughout your contract, i.e. until it's over, I think you can try to call AT&T customer service and say when you tried to use T-Mobile's SIM card, you accidentally entered the unlock code 3 times and now the phone won't turn on. Hopefully they can provide a working solution.
