I have a Hero on Orange UK and I've upgraded the ROM to the latest Orange one and then puchased an unlock code from unlocknow. The code 'seemed' to work and falshed up as being sucessful yet when I try to use it with a Voda sim it will not find the network. It says No service' and no calls can be made. Switching back to an Orange sim the phone works as normal.
Any ideas?
I'd try flashing a custom ROM. It is known that some Orange ROMs cannot be unlocked but I was unsure what would happen if an unlockable ROM was applied after the unlock procedure.
In theory, flashing a custom ROM *should* resolve this.

Does the phone come up with the unlock message again when you insert the vodafone sim or has it gone for good? If its gone for good then the phone is unlocked and your IMEI may be blocked on certain networks. If it comes back all the time then the phone is locked still, funny because the latest ROM is supposed to fix the unlock problems people were having with the Orange phone... well according to some.
Hi

1.1800 seriesnos in India - Unable to dial. It shows as 1(800)... & never connects.
2. Most of local cel nos 098....doesn't connect.I tried +9198...., 098.... but no luck. Some neetwork like Tata & Reliance work well.

I think installing a custom ROM would sort this, read before proceeding though

You might have to dial 01191 + the number, that is the normal way to access India from the US. But that seems strange, because the access numbers should be via your local phone provider. I'm assuming you changed your SIM chip...
Be careful of custom ROMS - your T-mobile HD2 is different from the international version and will not accept a world wide ROM. The ROM has to be made for T-Mobile US.
Yes please make sure if you use a custom Rom that its made for your US model some can be used for both

Thanks stevedebi
My problem is limited to some nos. Most of the nos I can dial. Thats what puzzles me.
Like Blackberry, where you select the country prefix in settings, can I select the country in HD2? Or is there some registry tweak to solve this? I am using an India SIM card. There is no issue with SIM as I am able to dial all nos using same SIM in a different phone.
Is there a ROM update for T-Mobile HD2? Pl help with links...
Thanks
Hello guys,
got one atrix at&t 4g in hands right now wich cant accept any sim card. Even the at&t one. Customer told he bought it as unlocked at am usa bestbuy shop and as arrived in home realised it´s locked indeed. As far i can see also to at&t sim card as it asks for network pin. I tried to updated it to [STOCK ROM] Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread 4.5.91 (Safest Update) following xda guide, but it keeps locked also to at&t. N tip or help from someone?
Rgds,

i did it, but the 8-dig unlock code did not work. Will try a 16 dig from a diff supplier. Weird is it should accept at&t sim card. But it doesnot.
im having a bit of a hard time understanding what u mean by the ATT sim not being accepted..if u mean there no signal when u put the sim in, its because ur friend bought it without activating it with an ATT number most likely. In which case a non active ATT sim will not register with the Roaming partners which will show up on ur phone as no service. Get a valid code from a seller such as cellunlock.net i used them and they're code worked perfectly, once u sim unlock the phone then put in a SIM from ur country and it should pick up signal all u have to do then is create a motoblur account or choose to skip that process.

Thany u for replying...
Sorry man for yr misunderstading. Wht i mean is wht i said: it does not accept any sim card. Neither one from at&t. Then, if i insert an at&t sim card (yep, i have more than 4 of them) phone asks for network pin, just like it asks when i insert other operators sim card, like claro brazil (i.e).
Its regular expected behavior should be accepting, at least, the at&t sim card since it´s from usa at&t. Of course it would not show network signal cos i am outside usa and my at&t sim cards have no credits, but it should not ask for a network pin when a at&t sim card is inserted.

Hi there Antonio. Had same problem here in Peru. Thanks to Tenfar´s CMW recovery and Gingerblur I managed to make my Atrix work with Claro Peru and Movistar. Just look for them in the development forums.

sounds like the phone is asking for a SIM Pin or what's known as a PUK Code, which unfortunately if u dont know it, u have to contact the carrier of the sim card for it, my advice would b to try to get a sim unlock code, put the code in just to make sure it is unlocked, then stick the sim for ur country's carrier inside the phone. It will probably ask for a pin again at that point call ur provider, and give them the imei/serial of the sim and ask for the sim pin/puk code. hopefully that resolves the problem. Also do not try to guess the code more then 3 times or u will fry/burn ur sim card and will need a new one.
Network pin code

Are you sure it's an ATT Atrix? Could it be that you have for example a Bell Atrix?
p.s. according to widely spread beliefs, if you type in the network unlock code wrong too many times, the phone will become hard locked, meaning it won't accept any sim card. could be that the person you got it from did just that.
If you can still put in a network pin your good. See, you may have an AT&T sim, but it has no service so the phone wont read it until it's unlock. You need to purchase an unlock. DO NOT GO GUESSING. I believe the Atrix has 5 attempts before locking you out forever.
at & t
@xploited
yep, it´s from at&t. It is bundled into at&t pack and also i flashed it OTA last at&t release.
@Purple Drama Llama
yep, it still asks for network pin code to unlock. No one msg like contact operator or phone freezed or whatever. Then i think it may not be hardlocked... yet.
p.s: ordered a third supplier an unlock code. Hope not be refunded this time since i hope it may work good. Wish me luck.
Rgds,
Hi, guys. I have the same problem i've purchased atrix without contract in the at&t retail store, they e-mailed me the unlock code, but the code is wrong i said it to them, they were surprised and e-mailed me another one and it is wrong too they (in the att store) said, that either of them should work and they don't know what to do. i still cant use my sim card. At&t sim was never used in that phone. is it important to have att sim inserted even once? and what to do with the phone?

At Last!!!!
Hello Folks,
at last i managed to solve it. Flashed 1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf back and got the same: unsuccesfull unlock. Then flashed the baseband Retail Brazil Radio.sbf and enter the unlocking code from at&t and Voila... unlocked!!!
Thank you all. Let me quickly get into Aura
Hello!
Junior
I'm also from Brazil and I am having the same problem!
Spend more details on how you achieved this miracle! if you can make the files available used would be great!
I'm with version 2.3.4
Abs
I'm a N00B, but I've spent close to 30 hours reading up on posts the past three days. I have the same problem as stated in the original post... even my AT&T sim results in a request for the unlock code now.
I started with an AT&T Atrix. I unlocked the boot loader, put CWM recovery on, put Alien v4 ROM on...then the next day AT&T called me with my unlock code for international use. When I put a new sim in it asked for the code, but did not accept it "Network unlock result unsuccessful" Two other sims just immediately went to "Subsidy Lock ..." statement without asking for the unlock code... then my AT&T sim stopped working, and went to asking for an unlock code right away. Phone also will not pick up any signal, nor connect to any networks
I have entered many codes many times, and not circumvented the error, nor permanently locked it...
My next steps are to install the Gingerbread 2.3 ROM available here: https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/49191?start=0&tstart=0
Then use RSD lite to flash the AT&T 4.5.91 firmware available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
After which I am hoping I can enter the unlock code, then re-unlock the boot loader, and flash back to alien v4 ROM again.
Do you think this will work, or have any other better ideas?
Should I use RSD Lite to flash the original firmware .sbf file?
My best guess is that the unlocked boot loader is preventing the phone from carrier unlocking ???
Extra credit:
- any idea how the phone is not permanently frozen after entering unlock codes up to 50 times?
- Will I need to put CWM recovery on the phone again?
- Any idea how the AT&T sim stopped working (while still working fine in another phone)
Please help and I hope this post will help others...
the boot loader unlock .sbf was only 13 MB, but the original 4.5.91 AT&T firmware .sbf is 1.5 GB unzipped... is flashing this mega-file through RSD lite the way to get this operating, or warrantee returnable again from its present state of unlocked boot loader, and not accepting any sims? Thank You

Hi
I bought m2 on polsich ebay alternative the description says that is should be simlock free
Previous ovner says that he check the phone with few sims from my country ant wth few foreign ones and it works with him.
With my 3 sims from difrent networks it demands from me " SIM network unlock PIN"
At the begining phone has 2.2 English Vodaphone brand
I check it wit every cyanogenmod on this forum and ithat problem don't go away
now i'm traying sbf files but the chances are small.
I't is posible that when I put my sim card the simlock came back
Is there a way to get rid of this probelm without some simlock imei code calculator website? google says that it may or may not work.
I don't now why simlock came back but this site help me unlock my phone again
unlock.vodafone.com.au
here is my situation.
i am in Spain , there are 4 major operators Movistar, Orange, Vodafone and Yoigo, with its own network , and dozens virtual operators.
recently i changed my operator to Yoigo , this operator has its own network and national roaming on Movistar.
my problem is , if my phone is under Yoigo network (both 4G and 3G) , i can NOT dial or receive any callings but i DO have data connection , all way up to maxim speed . if I manually locked it into Movistar network , it can dial/receive callings. Yoigo has its own 4G network , if i lock into Movistar, it's only up to H+ . this is problem ...
so i communicated with Yoigo , they say my line is fine , suggest me get a new sim card, i did , doesn't work either.
then I put my SIM into an i9515, it works on that phone and some other phone. I tried another Yoigo SIM on my phone , that SIM got same situation as mine.
I also tried other 6 operators SIM, they are all working fine on my phone , so i think my phone is hardware'ly fine.
I flashed official TW 5.0 with Bootloader and Lollipop baseband , no good.
i flashed older TW 4.4 with baseband , no good.
i restored IMEI that backup'ed when i bought phone , no good.
also , if i try to set something like voice mail , divert callings in "Phone" , it reports "SIM card or Network error"
symptom: if i dial out, 4G falls back to 3G, and then the dialing pad just closed on its own.
if someone calls , he gets information like "this number is not available "
any idea will be much appreciated :fingers-crossed:

Have you flashed a ROM specifically for Spain? Flashing different regional firmwares could be the cause of this issue. Also try going to settings > connections > more > mobile networks > network operators > set default setup to manual setup and make sure that it is registering the network properly.
