Does new O2 ROM update introduce SIM locking?

I ask because my Exec was unlocked in the UK for O2 and Orange, then I updated the ROM and sold it to someone in Australia (Melbourne), who says they get an 'Invalid SIM Card' error.
Anyone who's Exec *was* unlocked, and who has installed the update, please report

Just tried an Orange sim in my Exec, I have done the ROM upgrade and the Orange sim works fine, so I can confirm that the new ROM does NOT lock the Exec
Regards

The XDA Exec is a bit finiky about SIM's
I have had problems with an older SIM card from T-Mobile USA (16k version), taken from a Motorola V300 gives Invalid SIM Message,
Yet a newer sim from T--Mobile USA from a Sidekick2, (32k Version SIM), works fine in the XDA Exec
So I think you need to tell your buyer that he needs to get a newer sim from his Cellco, Most Cell Companies will supply an updated sim for modern phones if the old sim is not supported, it will not mean any changes in number etc!
Hope that helps

Dualsim & Sim Status Switcher

Hi to the list,
This message is addressed to the italian guys maybe also someone else can give me an hand.
I ma using a qtek 9000 with a dual sima and the Sim Status Switcher program.
I use them with an Italian sim TIM 128k and an italian SIM WIND 64k.
All seem to work perfectly but i have only one strange problem:
Whe i am on Tim i can read on the Sim Status Switcher:
READY:338*******
OPERATOR: UMTS TIM (HOME)
while when i am on Wind i can read on the Sim Status Switcher :
Invalid or missing SIM
Operator: N/A.
Why this?
Anybody can tell me why when on the Wind i have this information and not as the Tim one?
I am sure that the Wind sim works perfectly because i can receive and send calls without problems.
Thanks in advance for any help that will be really appreciated.

HTC HD2 sim lock H3G Austria

Hello everyone
I bought on ebay a HTH HD2 with the sim lock H3G Austria.
I installed the original Italian Roma hoping to remove the block but it did not work I still have the sim lock.
Can you help me I'm desperate
thx

Hi
I also have a 'Drei' (H3G) HD2 and wanted to unlock it.
The problem is: 'Drei' seems to have different unlock codes or something like that.
Nobody could unlock my phone, i tried 6 different shops.
So unless there happened something in the last month, you have bad luck!

(I9505)Sim detection error after use With other country Sim

Hello all,
I have a sim detection error with my french Sim
I come back from Cholydays in croatia. I did use during my trip a Croatian Sim prepaid. Every thing is ok in croatia, but when i came back in france, my french sim did not been detected by S4.
I try:
free, Sosh Sim and no sim detected.
Old croatian prepaid sim is well detected and roaming network is OK
french prepaid sim ' SIMA Mobile, network is OK
I have already try last stock ROM (I9505XXUHOH2) by ODIN
I have already try CM12/13
Did you have an idea of what could be my problem ?
Thank a lot in advance

Maybe the French sim card is damaged? Did you the French sim card in another phone?

Or your SIM tray got damaged by the Croatian SIM.
Maybe it was a bit larger than your French SIM.
Try applying some pressure to it and see if it is detected.

I try the french Sim in other phone.. every thing is ok
S4 seems to be blocked only with sim like sosh, free....
Prepaid sim like vip.me (croatia), or Syma Mobile (french) is detected by phone.
I give pressure on the sim...and nothing else
I'getting Mad
