Hi. My HTC legend has started to behave wierd. When im on a call, the call stops, and i have too put in my sim code. it says the simcard is locked, i put digits in and it boots up in a sec to where i where on my phone.
Can anyone tell me what the issue is?
And how i can fix it...
Thanks in advance. (I have tried with a new sim card, the same error.)

Hi,
I recently purchased a second hand MDA compact that was locked to T-mobile. After using the "all in one simlock tool" (from this site) I tried my vodafone sim card and it stated "invalid or missing sim". After various soft resets and hard resets and re-running the tool it would still not recognise my vodafone sim.
I then tried a friends contract t-mobile sim card in my phone to make sure all was well and it asked for the pin number. My friend entered his pin and it came up "Phone locked please enter PUK code". My friend then put his sim card back in his phone and enetered his pin as normal and all was working fine ? I have tried this several time with t-mobile sims and the same happens to them all but when put back in their normal phones everything works as normal.
I have even called t-mobile for help (no laughing please) and as you guessed I got no further forward.
Appologies if this is a widely covered topic or in the wrong section, i have searched and read loads of stuff but I am still stuck.
Please help me to unlock phone...
anyone :?
try this
Try this:
With the phone off, press the camera button and hold it in
Now press the power button for 5-10 seconds
Let go the power button
If the screen comes up with 3 color bars, connect the phone to your computer and run your favorite firmware.
Let us know the results...
Newbie question... Firmware compared to ROM?
Hi all,
I would be very interested in knowing the result of this last advice you gave as i am fighting to unlock my SPV3000 from Orange and may end up locking it with PUK request at the end...
Anyway, my question before I reach this stage is: What are you really talking about when you say "Run firmware"?
Do you mean flash your PPC again with a ROM like Mr Clean one or is it something else? And where should we find such firmware?
Just in case I may have to follow your advice soon... ;-)
First off the phone has a japanese rom on it, does anyone here know how to take of the USIM lock, so that an english rom can be flashed onto the phone. Problem is the phone locks up almost as soon as u turn it on. If you turn it on without a sim card then You can unlock it with 000 and it will call 911 but with a sim card the only way it will unlock is if you have an incoming phone call if someone can HELP me please!!! 1

You need to post some more details. Hermes will boot to OS normally without any SIM card at all - even if network locked.
Is it freezing in Windows or freezing at the turn on screen or before that stage?
Are you booting into Windows successfully?
Is this the device lock set to time out after zero seconds?
Have you tried a hard reset to "cure" the problem?
i have htc hero on tmobile uk
it shows airplane mode when i slide down it comes to tmobile logo n freezes . i dont know whats the fault
can anyone help
i have tried to a master reset by pressing power n back key
any other way
First, is the SIM in correctly? I know it sounds stupid, but it happens often. The little metal basket needs to slide 'back' after putting the sim in to lock it in place.
After trying that, is the phone SIM locked? If so, that might explain the airplane symbol, but not the freeze.
Let me know if the SIM is in fully, and if possible try another SIM on T-Mobile (or another network if that's all you have)
yes sim is in correctly thats 1 thing i thought as well but tried with sim cards n still same . possibly sim tray is faulty . any other suggestions
seems that whenever i insert my sim card my phone gets crazy, restarts all the time on its own, white screen/flashes/lines but if i start it with out the sim card it runs properly. i ran it without a sim for over 3 hours and it was working fine. anyone got an idea about this?
thanks in advance.

Looks like your Rom is messed up. Make a Backup of your contacts and flash the stock rom.
Then your phone should normally run again.
