hay guys
so i just got an x2 as a gift , its not branded with anything , so i though that i dont have to flash it or whatever
the problem is that it cant receive anything from my mobile provider it keep telling me " no network response " ( it actually detect my provider wich is Nedjma and i can see the network coverage nearly at full bars ) and stuff like that , i have two number ( 2 sim ) from different mobile provider and both dosnt work , same error message
i dont know much stuff about phones but am decent at computing , so i tried everything from update to tweak on the phone , nothing worked , am getting desperate cause this phone is really beautiful compared to my old 3310 .. , i just want it to make ... well just calls
if anyone has any idea ... thanks in advance
well ... have you tried to enter service menu to know your phone is locked or not ...
on the main screen press R R L R R L R L
where R stands for hang up key
and L for answer key
thanks for the reply fire-warrior
gone to the service menu then on the main menu to SIM LOCK , her's what it say :
Network : unlocked
Network subset : unlocked
Service provider : unlocked
Corporate : unlocked
Pin 1 lock : unlocked
Pin 2 lock : LOCKED
Phone locked to SIM : unlocked
Phone locked to 1st SIM : unlocked
Locked state : Ready
***************************
now everything seems ok on this menu , but not sure as i said am not pro with phone stuff , i hope the phone is not broken hardware-wise
look sainthonie ... my device has unlock on all of these ... so i guess this is the problem ... so if your phone is in warranty check it at service center
if not i advice you to install another rom using this thread "you don't have to change your language ... just change and install update"
ok am going with 2nd solution , but wich rom do i have to install ? and where can i find one ? sorry for the noobish question ..
just click here and follow instructions ... and each one of those refers to separate language or country
mea to middle east (arabic) ' cn chinese ' it italian ' us american english ... and so on

Hi guys , I'll appreciate any kind of help here ...
My Current settings
Device ID : ELF010050
CID : DOPOD001
IPL : 3.10.0002
SPL : 3.10.cmon
ROM Version : 3.14.706.02
RAM Size (MB) : 128
ROM Size (MB) : 256
Model No. : ELF0100
RADIO :03.34.90 Protocol 4.1.13.71
Have read so much, but I just don't get it
Have tried many combinations ROM'S , SPL , IPL , radios .. everything !
But still My phone won't see my local network ( roamming ) ..
Phone in Comm Manager keeps turning on and off , trying to catch the network .. this happens with all the roms I have tried ... including the original ROM and radio
When I put the sim card in .. phone says that its not possible to register my network , and if I want to set another operator ..
Someone with a clue ??? Is it possible to be a hardware issue
Regards,
I'm not really ana expert.. but maybe your device isn't SIM-Unlocked.. check this to unlock it..
hope this helps you

Yes , but maybe its lock in a "wierd" way ...
Cause when I have seen SIM lock devices ... It's a different story and in most cases you get SIM not recognized Alert or something like that ...
Gonna give it a try ...
Thanx for replying with this info !
@edit
This generates an unlock code ( wich I have ) but I'm never ask to type it ..
Another possibility, the device was stolen or lost and it's network locked.
a similar problem happened to me also ... it was the problem with the sim card.. i changed the sim its fine now... why not u try that.. know not this is the solution but u can give it a try..

i get the same problem tbh, and i use 2 sims, one i can check the status of in at work (work for a big UK mobile phone network)
i think it is something to do with the radio version, cos i use 3.34.90 aswell and thats when the problems started for me i believe
have u tried downgrading the radio version?
as this seemed to work with me
it may also bve a good idea to check with your network carrier to see if there are any cell mast issues as that could be a cause.
(sorry in work mode now lmao)
hi, i had the same problem. first i couldnt write contacts on sim, then losses of signal, but sudden, i lost all signal.
i replace the sim an now works fine.
try to clean the phone, in the inside, it has some contacts to the antenna. i did it and work fine.
replace with new battery
SIMLOCK
try to run ´deviceinfo´ package that´s here ... somewhere.
if it shows mcc+mnc info empty than it´s not unlocked
read more to find how you could unlock your phone in this case
About radio version
Yes, u should try device info if it shows mcc+mnc info empty than it´s not unlocked
if not than
can u tell me ur radio version (i.e.) 3.34.90 is come with handset or u upgraded
if u upgraded than downgrade to 3.21.90
3.21.90 has no bugs a good one i have also downgraded to it

Hi all ,
Is it easy to unlock an O2 UK branded HD Mini to sim free status ?
If so , how do I go about doing it ?
The last time I had to unlock a phone , it was with a couple of Nokias , and easy enough .
Thanks
As for as I am aware you'll need to get an unlock code from a shop or an internet site by giving your IMEI number

Gone are the good old days of having a little .exe program saved on my pc for unlocking phones !!
Have you any recomendations for a reliable website ?
How much do they charge these days ?
Will flashing with a generic ROM get rid of the sim lock / restriction ?
Thanks .
Just a little update ,
I didn't need to get the phone unlocked .
I just popped my sim card in and it worked with no problems
Is there any way to remove the o2 branding from the phone ?
What about ROM updates ?
There is a new rom listed on the HTC site , but when I enter my serial number/IMEI it tells me my device does not qualify .
I assume it's because my phone has an o2 Rom installed on it .
Can this be replaced with a stock HTC Rom ?
Thanks

i suggest to use this tutorial, i had a vodafone rom in my phone, and this thread helped allot for me
I don't know what to do ???
I can't play games!!!!!!
the problem is :
when I play any game ( for example ) all of the sudden the phone restart by itself , when the main screen show up then restart again and again ..
sometimes it shuts down and the logo ( samsung omnia 7 ) freeze and I have to hold the power to turn it off then, I have to keep it off 5 - 10 minutes till I turn it on..
It's pissing me off guys ... what can I do ..
I bought it from amazon ( with no warranty )..
please, help!!!!
K lets try to fix this issue. First of all.
Is it branded? And which version is it?
Did you update it? Format it?
Is it branded?
No . I bought it from amazon and it's UNLOCKED ..
And which version is it?
OS version : 7.0.7392.0
firmware revision : 2424.10.11.1
radio software : 2424.11.2.2
bootloader : 5.3.0.4
PDA : 18700XXJK1
phone : 18700XXKB2
CSC : 18700XENJK1
Did you update it?
yes , I update it to mango then return it back to pre NoDo and now I'm on NoDo..
Format it?
by format it you mean flash it , then yes ..
I guess the handset did not go the "official upgrade path" to obtain:
phone : I8700XXKB2
The reason I am mentioning it is because if you were to follow the official update path your PDA and CSC would be at:
phone : I8700XXKB3
Maybe that is the underlying issue here. Something that makes it act funny.
Did you return it to pre NoDo by flashing it?(which firmware?) Or reverting to a backup?
Did it freeze before as well?
Did you return it to pre NoDo by flashing it?(which firmware?) Or reverting to a backup?
by flashing it .. this one
I8700 XEN I8700XENJK1
Did it freeze before as well?
yes , since I get the device and start using it .. it happen all the time ..
Uhh :/ This is a bit of a stretch but it could be that your flash memory is corrupt.
I suggest to try and flash a newer ROM to it to see if it is broken.
If it persists you can always get it repaired. I believe EU law puts a 2 year warranty on electronic devices. .. I might be mistaken.
I've downloaded a KC1 but there isn't a CSC and I can't flash it ??
here no warranty !!!
I might take it to samsung center and hoped they'll fix it ..
Just pretend like you left the warranty somewhere... don't even mention it... act like a casual phone user ;D. When ever you start giving them details it will become more complex. So don't tell them anything about flashing etc. Tell them you tried the "reset" button hehe. At the end of the day they just want to process you.
TBH I think the warranty starts when you start using the handset. i.e. that's why they need the serial number. (I just noticed you are in the US)
I don't know about the CSC but I think there a couple of other ROMs out there that can be used that have CSC files... look around in the dev forum.
JK1 isn't the only ROM.
well, I'm not from US ..
does any samsung center will take my phone and fix it ???
becouse it'll be so much annoying couse I have to take it back to US then to amazon !!!
see how lucky I am !!!!
Yup any Samsung partner place will take it. Just have a look on the Samsung website. They list "mobile phone repair partners" etc....
When I tried to hand in my German phone to a certain repair centre in the UK I was met with bureaucracy. Excuses such as "its different" "cant be serviced.. only in germany" were given.
Granted.. I made the mistake of telling them that my phone was bought in Germany.... its too much for most call centres and receptionist at repair centres to comprehend and digest... I just went to another one and kept my mouth shut.
Simply put... come in. Tell them it broke. Tell them that you bought it a while ago. If they ask for papers tell them you left it at home and that they should check the Serial number or something.
my problem is that non of the samsung center in my country selling windows phone 7 devices ..
they might say: we don't know what the hell is this !! we can't fix it !!!!!!
but I'll give it a try ..

The Samsung Repair Centres are usually just "partners" they usually fix all sorts of phone but also have a certificate from Samsung to repair their devices.
Should be on the website.

Sorry for the off-topic, please bear with me sasukee, hope you get your phone fixed...
@ VonCrisp:
I debranded by flashing the ''I8700XXKC1_XXKB2'' Rom and phone was updated to:
OS ver.: 7.0.7389.0
FW ver.: 2424.11.3.1
Radio ver.: 2424.11.2.2
Bootloader ver.: 5.3.0.4
Then I tried to update to 7.0.7392.0 via Zune, update failed at the 6/10 step.
I used the Samsung patch, updated fine to 7392 via Zune, but the phone version remained I8700XXKB2, not I8700XXKB3. Actually I've never heard of I8700XXKB3. Can you confirm that you 've got I8700XXKB3 phone version, and how didyou get that?
I went there today .. and like what I expected .. they can't fix it !!!!
they said : this device doesn't exist here ( our country ) so that they can't fix it ..
I'm really disappointing ... I don't know what to do ???
any help !!! any thoughts ???

the procedure or download link of KC1 might help ..
thanks..
There are many csc's in the Rom development section. Just take the one that fits to your region/provider.
I flashed my phone ..
my new PDA : 18700XXKC1
phone : 18700XXKB2
CSC : 18700XENJK1
OS version : 7.0.7389.0 ( I'll update it later )
Firmware : 2424.11.3.1
radio : 2424.11.2.2
bootloader : 5.3.0.4
I did flash and while the phone flashing my phone stuck ( as usual ) in samsung logo ..
and I turn it off manually .. but now I have KC1
I'll give it a try and see where things going ..
OK, that's it ..
I'm gonna throw my phone at the wall and bury it ..
It's been worse and worse since I starting to flash my phone ..
the conclusion is : never buying anyting WITHOUT WARRANTY ..
I bought mine Omnia without warranty . Well in theory I can always send it to Germany...
Don't you want to donate your device to "hacker" community to create "hardspl" ("hardeboot" since this is Samsung)? Omnia 7 should be hacking friendly, since there is JTAG port (should be) right below battery below the FCC sticker.
But this looks like there is something overheating inside... There is no proper cooling, it looks quite similar to HD2 and other Snapdragon SoC-ed chipsets. Usualy reflowing it with either hot air gun or (as some people do with GPUs) in oven could help, but for how long (I wouldn't risk the oven, this is way more sensitible part).
Hi, i own a N900 factory unlocked.
playing with some custom roms, i ended that some sims work ok but the other says "sim network unlock PIN"
i tried galaxsim unlock pro, and it says unlocked on every item.
also whatever sim i try (except from one company that works - Claro Argentina - ) got the same message
its like is some form of semi lock ?
i also called samsung, and they say its the vendor fault, they cannot help me
the vendor says its samsung problem .. and here i am
any idea ?
PD: i did not try another sim before flashing custom roms, but the vendor assures the cellphone its lock free
PD2: sorry for my poor english ! :crying:

1- It is likely your phone is not completely unlocked. Is your phone rooted? If yes, install 'Shortcut Master' app or 'Phone INFO ★Samsung★' app, open 'Secret Codes' menu, scroll down to 7465625 (7465625 means SIMLOCK) and launch this secret code to check for the locking status.
2- Send an email to Samsung to request the unlock code (for more details check your inbox).
Thanks !
Ok, not response from samsung, also i called samsung in my country, and no help.
Called the store, no help.
Tried phone info Samsung (and galaxy unlocker, etc ..) any apps says my phone is full unlocked.
so i try with cellunlocker service (is a webpage) .. and about 4 hours latter i recieved 5 codes
last code was the one that worked, and by the way .. the code is eight zeros ! ("00000000")
So maybe that code could help someone !
