That is gutting. sorry JT, i too am not that techie, but if i were you i would try installing a new rom with an unlocking part. this might help or unlock your phone? i was on o2 then went to orange using this link
http://xda.weblink.net/
it takes a little while and its worth researching want you want included.
Or you could try the unlcocking exe file from xda developers website?
good luck
Hey
Is your SIM card pre-paid Bro?

um barred/stolen/blocked all the same thing mate lol
Try changing the IMEI number.....
Failing that, if you want to flog it for some of the money you paid out, let me know!!
5 years in prison like......
and not possible on xda 2 no?
xda 2
the ime number is blocked. i have come across this before with phones i have baught at comp fairs, if your sim card is on contract or registered with service provider you need to contact them before they contact you as they will know you have used a stolen phone and can trace you if registered with service provider. you need to keep proof of purchase if you have one to show you have baught it leagally failing that loose your sim card say your phones been nicked and get ime number changed on xda 2 and wait for the all clear :wink:
so can the number be changed i dont no how to do that
its illegal here in the uk prison 5 years if caught doing it like :\
The software does not exist to change the imei in the xda2, it is probably possible though.
if youve already tried using the phone with your sim then you dont want to change it. Somebodys gonna be asking why you were using a stolen phone changing it proves your guilt you should ring o2 and act thick about it not working they tell you its stolen you tell them its not your fault
if it was boxed - "...got it home unpacked my XDA " then its unlikely to be stolen.
More likely it never been registered on the networks anywhere; I managed to get my XDA ithout it being locked to the carrier and my sim worked in it w/o issue. A mate got one locked to Telstra, an aussie carrier, and only Telstra SIMs would work in it.
I wouldn't assume it is stolen, I'd just assume that its carrier~locked. And if it is, just unlock it. You have no contract with the carrier.
Don't know about the sitch re: the EMIE # though... never had to deal w/ that. Personally I wouldn't change it.
Anyway, the crux of it is that if the phone was stolen it'd be extremely unlikely to be boxed, etc, so you're probably fine.
New stuff gets stolen regularly, lorries loaded with all sorts of computer equipment go missing on a regular basis so it being new does not guarantee it being legit.
yeah it was all boxed all still together i might have to phone o2 and hand it in i think 300+ quid down the swanny we live and learn i suppose
how old is the sim it may be that the sim is a old 5volt in witch case it will not work in xda11 it need to be 3volt or 3.3 volt ih have some old 5volt that will not work in newer nokias erissons and will work in my xda 11

Can't you try unlocking the phone (with XDAUnlock) and then just try different sims? If they are all the same, your buggered mate
my sim is from 1999 but my wifes sim is from this year both dont work
I bought a, supposedly, unlocked HTC P3300 Premium Phone in the UK.
The problem I have is that the phone won't recognise any O2 SIMs, I've tried 4 different O2 SIMS and none of them work, it just continuously searches for a network.
I've tried the phone with a T-mobile and a Vodaphone SIM, and both of these work perfectly.
I was led to believe that the HTC version of this phone was fully unlocked. Does anyone know if this is the case? Has anyone else had this issue? Do you think it is possible to resolve this? If I use one of the many unlocking companies, will this work?

I seem to have fallen for the oldest trick in the book. I bought the phone on ebay, and didnt check the IMEI first.........I now have a lovely PDA with GPS, but no phone capability.
I must warn everyone to go here first, and check that the phone hasnt been blacklisted.

it appears that my phone was reported stolen, so the networks have banned the phone. Started with O2, then today when I tried the Vodaphone SIM, not working either.
I'm so angry.......

Unlucky mate, Reading that makes me feel really lucky, I brought mine on ebay about 3 weeks ago for £225 brand new and all has worked out well
good for you
Good for you, i guess its a chance you take. I admit that I was blinded by the whole thing and the excitement of getting this new phone... I wouldn't normally be so careless. I guess you live and learn

Had the same happen to me but I checked IMEI when I bought in dec phone worked for two months then stopped checked IMEI again and it has been blacklisted. Seeing if 02 can get it unbarred at moment. Send me a PM on who you bought off on EBAY could be same person in UK. I have reported to ploice and EBAY.
Some good news...

I emailed and called "the ebayer", he played all innocent, but did offer to give me a full refund. I've just returned from meeting him and I have the full refund in my hand...
Sooooo lucky.
So, for now, back to my JasJar (Exec)
Heres the story:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First I was going to buy it off Amazon, unlocked, £450 <-- Awesome!
But then I checked the next day, and it went up to £519, not sure if there was an original error or I was just very unlucky, needless to say I was very angry and dissapointed
So I headed over to ebay, I wasn't finding anything to great (price wise) but then I found a O2 locked brand new HD2. As I was going to use an O2 PAYG sim card anyway, I decided that that would be the phone I bought
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything seemed fine, but just now I've been reading around on forums (includng xda) and Ive seen that O2 models mess around with the HD2's software, ripping some of the things out of it (like the wifi router), so now Im worried im not going to have a very good version.
+ The phone is an unwanted upgrade from the guy on ebay, I didnt think that would make any difference going together with a PAYG sim, but now Im worrying.
Final question, will I have O2 branding on the back?

Dont worry. If the o2 software bothers you you can always put a stock htc rom on. See here for information.
Oh and there is no o2 branding on the case and barely any in the ROM either tbh. I have one myself. Im considering following the above guide 2moz just for the hell of it although i havent had any probs with the o2 rom so far.

No external branding from what I'm aware, but using goldcard / hardspl (when its out) you can flash to any standard rom and get the features back
damn you optiknerv, you beat me too it
Wow thanks guys, another LOAD off my mind, geez xda forums are great
So there are no problems right?
Oh and what are your views on the fact that its somebody elses contract upgrade?

If you got it cheap and it aint broke. Fool them!!
Mines O2 free upgrade on my contract. There is zero branding on the hardware and pretty much the only O2 branding i have seen on the phone is there wallpaper. I have filled out the form on there website to get it unlocked in case I ever need to use it on another network.
The only problem i have with it is that i am going have to jump through the hoops of using the goldcard method the flash it but i guess that's not to hard.

What do you mean by jump through hoops, whats the problem?
Also could you send me a link to the form for unlocking? I'm thinking it might be a good idea for the future. Could I unlock now and keep my O2 PAYG card in it as normal, I could right? It would just be like using the sim card in a phone that was locked from the start

branded HTC devices
I made some bad experiences with an o2-branded HTC Touch HD from Germany. In case of warrenty HTC told me to contact an o2-shop in order to get it repaired. It took some extra time to get it back because I had to give it to o2 (and they sent it to htc) Therefore I decided to buy a HTC HD2 without any branding to avoid this kindergarden games this time and forever.
The second point is that (if you don't want do use HSPL) branded roms are published not that regularly as stock-unbranded are.
PS: o2 costumers help each other all across Europe, don't they?!!

That is true but he has bought it second hand and so he doesnt have a warranty as a second owner. Flame me if ive got buyers rights wrong.
Good choice. You can install the WiFi router separately and the total ammount of branding on the phone is the wallpaper which you can change. And the O2 doesnt seem to have half the bugs that people are complaining about.
My handset speaker doesnt crackle, all of my SMSs send with no problem, there are no spelling mistakes and all is well with the phone!
I think this is the correct link
https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset Unlocking Form
basically O2 are unlocking there phones for free. Sounds like it takes a while for them to give you the unlock code. Think it told me 28 days or something. I am in no rush to have it unlocked just figured its worth doing just in case.

Yeah thats one of the only problems I have with it, Its not really second hand though, its unopened, but I guess that still kinda counts as SH. Heres a question for you, is there anyway I can get new warranty on it from either O2 or HTC ?
Reading the warrenty agreement in my O2 HD2 i bought on ebay, it mentions about second hand buyers, (i should have read it a bit more); but its a case of, if you can show proof of purchase, it should be no problem.

He will be able to print his receipt in his "My o2". I can print all my upgrades etc from this screen. Although the info in minimal, its better than nothing. Also take a note of his address and print off the ebay item as proof of purchase.
Please also note, regardless that the phone is second hand you will have warranty with it. The warranty is covered on the handset regardless who owns it. fact.
Mines an upgrade and the only bit of paper work i have for it is a single piece of paper confirming the order that came with the handset. Pretty much just has my name, the phones name and a return sticker on it. So i don't imagine he will have anything that will help you use the warranty.
It needs to be your proof of purchase.
Otherwise there's no proof it belongs to you.
In the end Ive decided Im going to cancel the one on Ebay and buy a brand new one from expansys, it may be a little more, but at least its got warranty, I can return the product If I need too and its not unlocked.
I just hope the guy on ebay doesn't get too angry at me
I just received my brand new Xperia Play yesterday.
It was purchased from ebay and was brand new in the box.
It was advertised as an unwanted upgrade as well as being unlocked.
However, yesterday I tried my international simcard which did not work, vodafone simcard and even after taking it to carphonewarehouse & orange trying a further 2 simcards, it fails to read ANY simcard regardless of company.
I have just a week to solve this problem since I am on holiday in the UK and have to leave nexr weekend.
Based on the above problem, what do you experts think the problem is?
I tried factory resettings, default settings, etc, still not reading any simcards.
The phone obviously is no good to me since it cannot make/receive calls/texts.
Aside from this problem, everything else is working perfectly.
Could this be a hardware issue or software? How can I figure out the problem.
Since time is a factor I don't have time to send it back and wait for repairs or a replacement.
Should this fault be quick & easy to solve I don't mind paying £20 or so if it can be fixed, beats waiting weeks for a replacement.
Any ideas you guys have please feel free to give me any ideas to try to get this phone reading sim cards.
Thanks guys/girls...
EVERY time I turn on my phone I get the following message ''please insert simcard and restart your phone'' even though the simcard inside the phone is working perfectly fine...
It sounds like a H/W fault... contact the seller and/or paypal

I did indeed contact the seller and am awaiting his answer...
Is the fault easy, quick and more or less cheap to fix from a local mobile phone shop?
If I was to download & use a custom rom, could this possibly fix the problem?
In the past I've had problems with bluetooth/wireless lan refusing to work even though everything else did.
After trying another rom it then worked.
This makes me wanna try another rom before returning the phone and waiting weeks for a replacement.
The seller however got back to me saying it was all working before, he has no idea why it's not reading simcards and to return it should it not work.
I will update the rom and report back.

Flashing a new ROM won't repair the problem. What country was the seller in when he sold it to you? Maybe it's still sim locked. Try to unlock it using a 3rd party.

It was a UK seller to a UK buyer (me)
I've tried 4 different simcards of all different networks, not reading any simcard.
The phone appears to be unlocked according to the seller.
Can this issue be easily & cheaply fixed in a local mobile repair shop?
if its not been bootloader unlocked and then ota bricked then it sounds to me like its blacklisted in other words reported lost/stolen or fraudulant and so pretty much useless to anyone in the UK

dont think its sim locked since its saying please insert sim card if it was locked more than likely itll say please enter network unlock code
does sound like a hardware issue do you have the battery cover on when your trying it?
i know my play when the battery cover is off the sd card wont work etc maybe its the same with the sim card
sure i dont have to ask your putting in the simcard correctly right?
shame nonetheless it might be more expensive to try and fix it since parts are not easily available
The sim card works without battery cover... If you inserted the card in properly... It should work.... If not then refund it.

Best thing to do is pop it into an orange shop and ask them to check the imei on the blacklisting website, if it comes up blocked you know for certain. If it not then it could be a hardware issue but i doubt it. Good luck

This is a good idea.
Anyway I've just come back from a few mobile repair shops.
After checking the phone, the engineer said it appears to be blocked and will only work outside the country.
Should this be the case, it's not a major issue since I live in Dubai. I happen to be in London for a holiday.
The phone was bought from ebay, and if the handset is indeed blocked then the seller is taking the piss since he simply mentioned the phone being an unwanted upgrade as well as unlocked!
I will contact the seller now and see what he says.
it will work mostly everywhere except the uk
This is the only problem with buying phones off eBay, it happend to my sister twice. The good news is that it will work in other country's if it's ota blocked, as it just means that the imea number don't work with UK networks as they have a UK database with all phones that have been reported lost or stolen.
The problem with eBay/PayPal is you only have so many days to file a dispute, so the seller waits till times up then reports it lost or stolen then claims on there insurance, or in some cases take out a new contract just to sell the phone on eBay then not pay the bill. There's a chav lad near me that pays ppl to take out contracts and pays them so much for the phone, what these ppl don't realise is there ruining there credit rating.

Yeah, I've had quite bad experience using ebay even when buying from ebayers with high & perfect feedback.
Anyway the seller got back to me and swears it is a genuine phone that was claimed from an insurance company and is unlocked and sim free.
He said he tried 2 different sim cards with the phone before advertising it.
My question is how did it previously work yet now it refuses to read any sim?
I may take the phone to an alternative shop and ask them to look into this.
Could it be the sim/sim reader is faulty or damaged and therefore not reading sim cards?
if it was blocked by networks it would just scan for networks and not be able to register on one, it wouldnt say insert sim.
This has been badly flashed IMHO and to my knowledge there is no fix
Go into Service Menu and check Simlock Status:
Dial this:
*#*#SERIVCE#*#*
There are also different Service Tests. For me this problems sounds like the "faulty" method which was used to fix the OTA-Brick on unlocked bootloader!
If it is this problem, your phone will be simlocked (not network-locked!!!) to ANY sim card. And you have to unlock via Software -> Omnius/SE-Tool etc. etc.
Regards
Thanks everyone for your support.
As of now I have no idea of what the problem is.
All I can say is the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is in a repair shop.
It will cost me £45 and on tuesday it should be repaired regardless.
Should they be able to fix the item, great, otherwise if they are unable to fix it then I will get a refund.
I will get back to you lot on tuesday with the results!
My poor 24 hour old brand new Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is in for repairs already and it's still got all the front and back protectors still on...
I've had the simcard reading thing happen to me a few times. After a few reboots, it would be fine again.
phone was working fine, I updated to 4.5.5 after reboot the phone would not connect to a mobile network said emergency calls only. spoke to OnePlus suspiciously instantly telling me to contact my provider. I did, said everything was fine on there end, tried my SIM in another phone same emergency calls only. Got a different SIM to work on my oneplus so gave the benefit of the doubt. got my lazy butt down to the store to get a replacement SIM, it worked then about an hour ago stopped again. When I called back to tell them the new one was also broken they tried to fob I me off with 'have you spoke to your carrier's no matter what I want a new phone as this one is defective. I spoke to a manger the turn around is going to take all week! I offered to purchase a new one but they can't assure me it will ship tomorrow even if I pay the extra shipping. of the 2 packages I ordered the quickest was 4 days with the expedited shipping, I'm just outside london. should I get another brand? I do like the PHONE the service is poor. others have had similar issues appently, which means when they told me to speak to the carrier they where deceiving me. Ok just wrote that and now it's back up again, rebooted and gone again..... Can't be asked to inform OnePlus they do not seem to care.
So new phone or replace this OnePlus 5? Not impressed with the level of sevice

When I called back to tell them the new one was also broken they tried to fob I me off with 'have you spoke to your carrier's no matter what I want a new phone as this one is defective. I spoke to a manger the turn around is going to take all week! I offered to purchase a new one but they can't assure me it will ship tomorrow even if I pay the extra shipping. of the 2 packages I ordered the quickest was 4 days with the expedited shipping, I'm just outside london. should I get another brand? I do like the PHONE the service is poor. others have had similar issues appently, which means when they told me to speak to the carrier they where deceiving me. Ok just wrote that and now it's back up again, rebooted and gone again..... Can't be asked to inform OnePlus they do not seem to care.
So new phone or replace this OnePlus 5? Not impressed with the level of sevice

I`am running 2 sim cards and i`am running 4.5.5 and no issue so far. All working flawless. Have you tried other simcards (friends or family) to see if the issue remains?
I did try in other devices. I am only using 1 SIM slot, it has broken 2 different SIM cards in the same slot. Sorry I am poo at explaining things

Sounds like a hardware issue to me, i'd suggest you visit a OnePlus authorized service center and get that checked out. Replace the slots maybe? And if it's not a possibility then replace the phone.
Thanks for the replies. I have decided to return the phone and get something different. The customer service was nothing but deceitful, they knew others where having similar issues and tried to blame the carrier 3 times. If they where honest from the start I would get a new one. Thanks for the second opinion have a lovely day guys
