Will it connect, to a different network with the appropriate SIM? sounds to me like a dodgy unlock to me

In that case, if it where me, I would use The Advanced Ace Hack Kit to root and Super CID your device that will SIM unlock the device permanently, the only proviso is it may erase all your data so make sure it's synced with the Google servers etc., etc

Sorry was offline last night, I would contact your provider and check that your handset isnt blacklisted, if AAHK worked and your sim-unlocked and not blacklisted try flashing a different radio?

I have the same problem as the OP.
Ive used the Ace Hack Kit and it still wont work with my SIM. I contacted my Network provider and they said my IMEI wasn't blacklisted or barred.
Any ideas?

Yes, Not all unlocked phones work with all sim cards. Some carriers lock their sims, so you have to ask for a new sim. The Hack Kit sim unlocks the devices but not the SIM restriction set by the carrier.

Yes, I was just thinking the same. I will with some more research on the subject.
It would be worth trying with a different sim. If one of your mates are on a different network try theirs otherwise pick up a free payg sim. At least you will know if it is the phone or the sim then.

Man, I has a low reputation here, but it isn't because I'm noob. It's because I don't post messages here and there ( I'm just trying to keep threads clean and read threads attentively). But I'm enough experienced in your problem. I'm in judicial process with my local shop now, due to exactly your problem. Forget about bad contacts, IMEI's, locks and other I've tried all means that I could find in the internet since 2011, every! And all of the threads connected with your problem begins with "bad metal contacts/ sim card changes/ locks/ unlocks/ roms/ radiomodules/ flashing etc". But It's just a faulty phone[!/B]. Belive me. All this threads ends with something like "any solutions? somebody? " There is no solution for this from at least 2010 year. Don't waste your time and bring your device back to your retailer if you can. I has evidences and prooflinks, and can give them later. Now, I just suddenly have found your post while serching new info in the internet for TODAYS judicial session. So don't reduce my "Thanks Meter" at least till you ask prooflinks. And I'm "beging" you: "just bring your phone back to retailer"
Added few minutes later:
1) I know that it is a bug in the OS-Hardware-controller_flash junction and we all won't find solution because it is very specific.
Here is the answer of t-mobile service. And the core phrase is "If you've messed around with apn settings or something that'll cause errors to, so try a factory reset just to make 100% sure there's a hardware issue." You do not need to fix so hard bug- they should make appropriate devices.

Hello
After I install FR008 , I LOST MY SIGNAL IN MY ARIA . I cann't even connect to the network at all . I keep getting no services or Limited services .
When i search Manually for an Operator I keep getting , the sim card can't be connected to ... .
HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE ?
I have tried 2 radios .
1- liberty-radio47.41.35.10H_7.09.35.13-signed
2- liberty-radio47.54.35.20H_7.13.35.13-signed
HELO PLZ PLZ PLZ
Wow, odd. I had a similar issue. I would look at my phone and have no service (ATT in NYC - YOU GET SERVICE). Then maybe I thought it was my office building, nope. Also tried different radios. Nope.
Went to CM61.1 and never had another issue.
I had same issue randomly before. Though setting network types bring my signal back. In case you wanna try it:
- Dial *#*#4636#*#*
- Phone Info
- Bottom of the screen, try to change "Set preferred network type".

Something similar to this happened to me.
I had CM6, and (without thinking) did a factory reset of the phone (Settings/Privacy/Factory data reset).
When the phone rebooted, it didn't recognize the SIM card. I almost [email protected]#t bricks. The card wouldn't work in any other phone, but other SIM cards worked fine in the Aria.
The solution was to un-root/reinstall stock at&t Android ROM and take it to the at&t store. They replaced my SIM card.

Did the STC SIM card work in any other phone?
I'm guessing that when you flashed the ROM, it hosed the SIM card.
Please check to see if the STC SIM card works in another unlo.cked phone. If it doesn't then it's been damaged. If it DOES work in another phone, then there's something going on with how your phone is interacting with the network/radio software on the device.

It sounds like the SIM card is bad. You should get a replacement.
I'm not an expert on this, and can only suggest. If other cards work in the phone you're probably ok.

What error are you seeing? When I had a problem, the device said there was no SIM card present. It wasn't just "no service."
If an at&t card works on the phone you are fine. You just need to fix carrier issues.
If you want, unroot and load the stock ROM from at&t and try the SIM.

What didn't work?
I'm trying to help (with my limited knowledge).
It really sounds like the STC card is bad.
When you start the phone, do you see a big picture of a SIM Card displayed? If so, that means one of the following:
There is no card present
There is a card present, but it is inserted incorrectly or not completely in the slot
There is a card present, but it is either deactivated or damaged
If you DON'T see a big picture of a SIM card when the phone starts, then the SIM card is in place and not damaged. You may not have service (there is an "x" on the top left of the signal strength bars). But the card is still good. It's also possible the card is not provisioned for STC. They can re-provision it. Call them and tell them the phone's IMEI number.
I really want to help!

Ok...I think I'm understanding now. I didn't know you searched for networks and got the error message.
The error message "Your Sim Card doesn't Allow Connection to this Network" is a good indicator that the SIM Card is defective.
Try the following. If they don't work, try purchasing a new SIM card.
switch to Airplane mode and back again
go to Settings/Wireless & network/Mobile networks and check "Use only 2G networks."
Go to the dial pad and dial *#*4636#*#* and select Phone Information. Scroll to the end and choose "GSM only" in the drop-down box above "turn off radio"
Go to http://www.amta.org.au/pages/amta/Check.the.Status.of.your.Handset and see if your phone has been reported lost or stolen and re-branded (I'm not sure where you got it, but it doesn't hurt to check).
If all else fails, I suggest getting a new SIM card from STC Mobile. Explain that it just stopped working and you need another one. They may charge you a small fee, but at least the phone will work.
Good luck,
Dan
It's working Now .
thanks
Iv been rooted for over a year and have flashed everything possible for this device! !! I LOVE THE HD2... I just recently switched to att and purchased the unlock code to switch sim cards and i cant seem to unlock the device. I went back to windows mobile in hopes that it would prompt me for an unlock code on start up with no such luck. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance . .

Probably same area problems: contact between sim-card and device, faulty sim or sim-card slot...
two known bugs on unlocking HD2; try pressing & holding OK button for 5 seconds when code entered, do factory hard reset after code been accepted.
As above, you could still have sim card connection issues causing full connection call issue !
This is the custom verizon version.
Is there any way to get around this or there hasn't been a way to use other sims on this phone?
I tried messing around with mobile type (GSM,etc) and nothing works. My tmobile sim card simply gets no signal.

Nope, APN is used for data connection. OP's problem is no network registration.
I found the problem guys, the IMEI has been blacklisted, the phone is unlocked.
I got this phone cause its been in lost and found for 6 months at my hotel so we were gonna throw it out anyways.
What do I do now? I tried contacting tmobile but they can't unblock it for that.

Besides having the original owner getting it removed from the blacklist through Verizon, nothing can be done.
There's a shared IMEI blacklist among all of the major U.S. carriers now, so if it's blacklisted on one, it's blacklisted on them all.

Well... I'm no expert... But it sounds like you bought a phone that is meant to be an upgrade to someone's contract, so it comes paired/tied to that contract's phone number, he/she probably didn't want to upgrade, so they sold it to you... After you reset it, it needs to be set up by the original phone number/sim card it came paired with... So the solution is probably to contact the person you bought it from and explain the situation... See if there's anything they can do to help you...
I bought the G6, and so I gave my G4 to my kid brother after factory resetting it... When he was setting it up... It requested that He would login with the previous google account that was being used on that G4, which was mine... So I had to login, and then he could set up his own account and the phone as his, now the phone is tied to his account... I believe this is an anti-theft prevention or something like that... Only mine was tied to my Google account, and yours seems to be tied to the networks sim card... When you reset the phone with that code... I believe you resetted it to the very original state where it was still tied to the networks no. with which it was supposed to work with... Maybe if you had resetted it from the settings menu, it would still be ok.
Anyway, those are my 2 cents... Hope it helps!

Contact the person you bought it from... And maybe ask if it is possible for you to mail them the phone, so they can set it up with the sim... Then, you'd switch the account... Or take it to an LG support center, and explain the situation, show them proof that you bought it... They can probably wipe it clean... Or you can also try flashing an unbranded network fre .kdz firmware file, that is compatible with your model... That might "detach it" from the original sim card it is requesting... It's worth a try.

Currently I'm another one victim of the same problem, and I'm outside the USA also.
I wish to repeat unlocking of the phone, but I couldn't find the code to show me the window, where I have to input an unlocking code.
2945#*933#, 2945#*71001# or 2945#*20001# do not work for me (no any reaction from the phone).
Does anybody have some more ideas?

2945#*933#, 2945#*71001# or 2945#*20001# do not work for me (no any reaction from the phone).
Does anybody have some more ideas?

Thank you for the reply. Is it something like what lmiked told about, or another action?
Where can I learn about steps I have to perform to do this repeat unlock using Gcpro or an other boxes? I've found that it is the bootloader unlocking tool. So do I need to do some next steps after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Currently I am able to go in phones bootloader and I see the option to reset the phone to its original state (done, does not help) and to flash some files from flash card. But I don't any files to flash.

Contact the person you bought it from... And maybe ask if it is possible for you to mail them the phone, so they can set it up with the sim... Then, you'd switch the account... Or take it to an LG support center, and explain the situation, show them proof that you bought it... They can probably wipe it clean... Or you can also try flashing an unbranded network fre .kdz firmware file, that is compatible with your model... That might "detach it" from the original sim card it is requesting... It's worth a try.

Where can I find unbranded network firmware file and which tool I have to use to flash it to the device?
You bought a Sprint locked device, this one can only be sim unlocked to work internationally, that unlock is done by Sprint as far as I know.
The bootloader on this phone is not unlockable, and the firmware cannot be changed. You might want you return the phone if the seller told you it was unlockable/etc., because it isn't.
