SIM Lock "Data Crashes" screen, need help~

i've posted here but don't seem to be getting any response so i thought i'd post here where everyone's on about Wizards
i'll go through the situation again in detail:
i recieved a prototype wizard that's been sitting around for a while.
i turned it on, and found HTC rom version 0.5something, but at this time there was no SIM in the unit and everything was working fine. so i decided to try an O2 rom in the unit, and downloaded the latest O2 XDA Mini S rom from their website, version 1.5.4.102 (comes up at 1.5.4.2 on the unit).
first time installing the new rom, the installation froze at 99%, while the PC said complete. so i tried again and all was good. when the unit restarted everything was fine, working and all, until i plugged in a SIM and i came up with the following screen
{

i've tried using machinagod's Lokiwiz02b, but unforunately it didn't work.
does anyone have any better ideas for me?
thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Hi, sorry no one answered you before.
When using lokiwiz did you cid unlock the device i.e. supercid? If not try that it may work. Also try one of the Qtek roms, see if that makes a difference.
Shame you dont know if it worked with a sim before you flashed it. Prototype - not sure if that works with a sim or not.

i've tried both unlocking options using lokiwiz, both supercid and the regular unlock. however after lokiwiz has done it's magic, JUST before the command window auto-closes to do notice a line of text saying something like "object not found" or something similar to that. (two paragraphs suddenly appear and the window closes, rather hard to catch)would that be the issue? i just can't catch it everytime, and i apologise for pretty much completely forgetting how to use the command/dos system. should i open the cmd window first before running the .bat file to avoid it auto-closing? so i can see where there's possibly a problem?
also, i do have an idea that the device should work, as i have another prototype wizard from the same era working beautifully. i got that one a while ago though, so it hasn't been sitting around/in someone else's hands for so long.
i'll give the Qtek roms a try too, and maybe grab an iMate one on the way too.
thanks for your help mate :wink: i truly appreciate it.

Sounds like there is a problem with lokiwiz, maybe it does not work or your prototype.
Did you try what machinegod suggested?
Q - I locked my device and now it shows only the SIMlock window
A - Get your phone showing the SIMlock window. Connect it via ActiveSync. Use the tool to unlock your phone.
Which sim are you trying to use with the device?, maybe worth trying different sim - to find out which operator the device is simlocked to. There are other sim unlock programs but you will prob have to pay. I would try another rom, and different sims. Cheers

did exactly as machinagod suggested:
plugged in SIM, which automatically gets SIM Lock window showing, and won't let you go anywhere else. guaranteed hook up with PC and activesync, then run lokiwiz bat file from PC. tried both unlock and supercid on two different PCs. unfortunately didn't work.
i've tried a few SIMs in the phone, 3 different SUNDAY (Hong Kong) SIMs that i'll most likely be using with the unit and an O2 Pay&Go SIM. neither worked. i have no idea where the SIM could possibly be locked to, manufactured in Taiwan, ended up in the UK, and now with me in Hong Kong. it could be anywhere.
i'm yet to try out the other branded ROMs so i'm not sure if that'll work.
i'll keep this space updated should i have any news.
thanks again for the attention mate.

I have the same problem now with my T-mobile MDA.Any other ideas how to solve this problem?

I have the same problem now with my T-mobile MDA.Any other ideas how to solve this problem?

I had the same problem when I did my upgrade the first time. Freaked out. I searched these forums and read that if you use the unlocker at http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php it fixes it.
It stinks that it costs about $30 US but it works. I've had zero issues with any rom update now that I unlocked it on imei unlock. There may be a free way to do it but I don't know how. I know this works.
It is the second time I have used the service, I used it to unlock my smt5600 when I migrated my account from ATT to Cingular.

thanks for the input mate, but i'm quite reluctant to spend US$30 at this point in time for fixing the thing as its a 'spare' unit that i basically got to play with. even if i do unlock it i won't be using it :lol:
tell me tho mate if it doesn't get outta your way, did it happen when you used 'another providers' ROM? or did you stick with ROMs from the original service provider?
i'm in suspicion that changing to another provider's ROM copies over SIM/provider data that isn't what the lock in the unit wants, hence the screen saying "data crashes". if we hit the sweet spot with the right ROM then lokiwiz should be able to do it's magic.
i'm also keen on using an older version ROM to unlock before upgrading again.
i still haven't managed to get me hands on the unit, and HOPEFULLY will do so within the next two days. once i have any more news i will keep everyone updated.

Dual-SIM solution that works!

Hi
As you probably are are aware of, there's been a number of different "multi-SIM" or "Dual-SIM" solutions through the years. Lately there's been problems with the 3G-SIMs that would not work properly with the various multi-SIM solutions.
I've found one that works for my two new 3G-SIMs.
This one is made in china and is very basic (which seems to be the key in finding a working solution with many 3G-SIMs/phones - basic). The shop linked to is Norwegian, but the text concerning this particular item is in English. Regardless, this spesific solution is made by several different brands, charging from 5 € upwards to about 60€. The difference being brands of course, and how advanced the built-in STK meny is. I have seen this particular one that I bought several other places on the net (I recognize the packaging/logo).
http://www.mytrendyphone.no/shop/universal-twin-sim-3337p.html
Basically what you do is you cut out the chips from the SIM-cards and insert them into a special SIM-card like device consisting of a very thin curcuit board and a small microchip. This one is about the size of a normal SIM-card and can be inserted into your Kaisers SIM-slot.

Note that I didnt actually have 3G enabled when I made those screenies, but it do work!
The Sim ToolKit Menu
As you can see, along with the network name (NetCom in my case on both SIMs) I've specified my numbers and they will automatically show up along with the network info. I.e. "YourOperator YourPhoneNumber".
How well this would work if you change networks (my two carriers both use the same data-settings, one being the owner, other leasing capacity) I'm unsure, but I suspect the phone will ask you to reboot if you want to have functioning data-connections.
Well thats it!
/Mac

but is very dificult cut correct the sims

So only one line will be active at a time? Like I can't receive a call on both lines and have it auto switch. I would only be able to receive calls on the respective active sim?

No, you can only have one number active at the same time. As far as I understand this is a limitation in the phones hardware (not the Kaiser spesifically) according to certain regulations etc. Having more lines to one number is something else, a service certain operators offer, must not be confused with active numbers.
You can set the STK to autojump back and forth between the numbers, but I find this feature pretty much useless. This Dual-SIM solution should tho work very well for swapping between lets say private and work numbers w/o having to change phone. Or, having a backup number in case your prepaid runs out etc.
I did not find it very difficult to cut out the chips from their original SIM-cards, a pair of schissors did this job nicely, as long as you use common sense and follow the guidelines included in the package.

Where did you buy it? I tried to get it from the URL but they don't seem to ship to The Netherlands.

Not all of them fit in a Kaiser.
We need one in The Netherlands, that fits in the kaiser.

Not all fit no, but this one does, confirmed. Thats what this thread is all about
Here you got sites that seem to sell precisely the same one as I've used.

Did you see the "Not for use with 3G (USIM) SIM cards".
3G compatible adapter are expensive ( 30-70 EUR ). Do you know where you can get one?

I don't know if I have a 3G or normal SIM.
My #1 number is from Telfort, when I connect to the web only gprs works.
My #2 numer is from Vodafone but it's a prepaid, but sometimes when I connect to the web G, 3G, H works.
SO I think I need one what supports 3G?

You get it when you buy it.
right?

Its not an application per se, its like the SIM-card menu on your operators SIM. At least most operators have some kind of STK menu on their card with various functions. The menu on the dual SIM thingy is the same kind, only that it let you change active numbers. It will pop up automatically in your programs-menu when you insert the dual SIM and you don't need to install anything softwarewise.

are you sure they are working in 3G mode ( and not GSM/GPRS/EDGE ).
Last time I tried such a cheap adapter the 3G sim worked... as a GSM sim ( no access to the 3G network ).

You can get them overhere at dualsim.nl i think.
i used to have one but it ruined both my sims. not handy when travelling..
Succes, Steven

Well I am able to enable 3G and use the SIMs for data and calls with the 3G/H up on the status bar and everything. I haven't tried video calls tho.
This is sort of something I tried to make clear in my first post...and also the reason this product is interesting...

After One Month Of Use I Now Get ''Network locked - This device is locked... Plz Help

I have been using my Streak for about a month, it's locked to o2 but I am using the rebel sim.
Whilst it's been working fine since I've had it, suddenly when turning on my phone this morning, I get this message on the screen:
Network locked
This device is locked to your service provider. Do you want to enter a network unlock code?
My 2 options are Enter code or dismiss.
I obviously do not know the code and should I go with option 2 and dismiss the message it goes to the home screen, and I have no reception whatsoever as well as the screen displaying phone is SIM network locked.
How can this suddenly happen after a months use? Anyway around it?
I even tried my sim in my other unlocked htc handset and it worked fine.
I even manually changed the network provider to vodafone, made a phone call/text, it's fine.
I reinserted the sim back in my streak and it's still not working...
Any suggestions?

wich version of the rebelsim are you using. 1.1 or 1.2? I really don't know if it matters, but I also using rebelsim, version 1.2, i haven't had the dell streak for a week yet, let alone a month. Up till now, it's working flawelesly with me. no issues with 3g or HSDPA att all.

It's version 1.2
The rebel sims tend to be unreliable, they will work one minute and stop at the next and visa versa.
It's really frustrating though that suddenly I now have a phone I cannot use, cannot send/receives texts or make phone calls...

Don't know if it may be of any help, but have you cleaned the rebel simcard. It sounds stupid, but it could be that the rebel sim, your sim and the sim card slot don't play nice with each other anymore. otherwise, it could be a faulty rebel simcard.

I doubt the rebel sim is faulty as it did work for a month and suddenly I get this problem.
If the sim was faulty it would not at all work.
I tried cleaning the rebel sim as well as my own vodafone chip and I get the same message.
If I cannot solve this problem over the weekend I may just sell the Streak and get something else, something unlocked.
I cannot have a device that works one minute and not the next.
This is not Dell's fault but the fact it's not locked and theres no way to unlock it at present...
I even tried this and no result:
1. Set your Streak to GSM only mode.
2. Get another phone (must be unlocked) and set it too 2G only mode.
3. Put your sim card into the other phone (without the RebelSim) and start it up.
4. Open the 'Network settings' in this phone and change the network manually to a network that your sim card ISNT on. You will get a 'Cannot register on network' error message.
5. Now set the network manually to the network your sim card IS on.
6. Now make a phone call, send a text and browse the internet, just very briefly.
7. Put your simcard along with the RebelSim back in your phone (remembering that your Streak should already be in GSM mode before you boot it up).
8. Once your Streak is on, open the 'Google Talk' program, it should stay running in the background.
9. Now set your Streak to 'GSM/WCDMA auto' mode.
10. Your Streak will now work on the 3G network and you will still be able to make and recive calls.
11. To keep the ability to recive calls+texts install Weather Display Widget and set it to auto update every one minute.
Here are some screen shots of what I get when I boot up:

I suppose the provider denied your connection because the RebelSIM.

[Q] Want to use wifi on my HTC P3400i

Hello guys!
I have HTC p3400i . I searched whole forum but everywhere the wifi adapter is shown to compatible with p3400 not for p3400i
I just want to know which wifi card should I buy so that it will work on my HTC P3400i.
I want to use it in my home wifi also in my college wifi.
Is it possible? And where do I get it in India? for what prise and if I prefer ebay.com then will it cost me less?
I shall be highly obliged if I get help from you guys!
Waiting for reply!
Regards,
Adwait
P.S: The product specification mentioned at htc official website http://www.htc.com/sea/product/p3400i/specification.html shows "Expansion Slot:SDIO/MMC (Up to 4GB)" but on my product cover there is "Expansion Slot:SD™" only! that's why I am getting confused!

is my question wrong? or the support is no more available for gene? just wondering if anyone actually reading this or not. or tell me I asked in wrong section!

i am looking for the same thing.....n yes on my cover box, the same thing is written for EXPANSION SLOT: SD card

HI
There is a way to use WiFi on the HTC Gene.
You have to buy a wifi card, which fits into your memory card slot.
Yes, that means you can either use wifi or your memory card!
The WiFi card looks like this

It fits into the memory card slot and sticks out a little bit (longer than the normal card, possibly for antenna.
You also have to install the WiFi card driver onto your phone before you can use it.
I myself have used a Spectec wifi card in the past so I can tell you that it does work.

can you give me detailed info? I searched, there are lot of such cards but don't know which one to buy!
and how much storage that card provides? means I wanna download something, will it possible?

I guess the card by the company "SPECTEC" is your best option!
Code:
http://www.amazon.com/SPECTEC-Wireless-Networking-Connection-Notebooks/dp/B000BD9PBQ
http://www.spectec.com.tw/download/review/994-1.pdf
It does not have have any storage within it. If you want to plug in the card you must remove your memory card, insert the wifi card and use it. This will mean that you are restricted to only the phone memory.
So i would suggest storing the driver and your preferred browser on the phone memory!
Your best bet is to have a LITE ROM, one which gives you a decent amount of free space, like:

Spectec Wifi Card problem
I have been using Spectec SDW820 wifi card for the last one year. It works well but when the phone is in standby mode and there is an incoming call, the phone hangs. While working also some times phone hangs. Things become normal once the card is taken out. Some times card does not work & it requires phone to be soft-resetted. I have used this card with original ROM, many cooked ROM but the behaviour of the card is the same.
Are you also having the similar problems?

Dual sim in android.

Hi
Is it possible to run an android version with dual sim?
Could someone point me to a dual sim adapter which I could buy?
I haven't seen a thread about this, so I'd thought I'd open a new one.
Thanks.

I read somewhere that a 3G iphone adapter would work aswell, is this correct?

Also, is it possible to use one sim card to use internet, and other one to send sms?

Just read that its possible to cut a normal sized SIM card to a smaller (MicroSim Format) size.
Does this really work??

I have a Dual Sim Adapter in my HD2 and it works. It's a Magic Sim. I can change the Sim's with an App "Dual Dial". With the STK Menue i have a Problem. Both cards i have cut. Both cards have function with 3g (dual sim card compatible with 3g). Both cards i have a Flatrate (Unlimit internet conection).
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using Tapatalk

The HD2 has a micro sim and a normal sim input. What if I would put a micro sim (a sim cut to micro sim format) and a normal sim in it. Would the dual sim work??

Yea I got mine from www.magic-sim.com for my HD2 and have no complaints

Will the 20th magic gen work aswell??

anyone knows wether the 20th magic gen works aswell? Its the only one I can buy from here.
