I live in the UK and have the newest XDA version avalable here 64Mb I also have a 128Mb MMC Card. But when I put my XDA into the WALLABY Bootloader it resets my XDA and wipes the internal memory back to factory default. So I have to reinstall my software and contact infomation. Is this normal ? I wanted to unlock my XDA so before I got my serial lead just wanted to check I could get it into the Wallaby boot loader, I could but When I reset set my XDA It when back to the setting up the screen and running the O2 auto setup. As if I had pressed the battery hard reset. When my serial cable came (www.partmaster.co.uk £14.99+p&p for uk people) I used your excellent software to unlock the XDA but again on exit my main memory was wiped. But my XDA remained unlocked. So is this just me with this feature ?
I tried it twice, when I tried to show it to my friend, it wiped out all data in RAM. Then I came home and before I reloaded everything, I just synced and tried it again. Data remained intact.
I have no explanation on this

First do a hard reset. Then, when the phone boots do a soft reset before the customisations begin. This will put you back to the base rom without the carrier settiings. (This may not be completely correct because some carriers may embed their settings in the rom). Give it a try, but remember that the hard reset will clear all your data and loaded programs, so back up first.
incorrect... hard reset your PDA... make sure you remove your SIM card when you boot up... then uninstall the 3 Mobile Mail client by using the 'Remove Programs' and reboot... insert your SIM card again... but say no to the autocustomisation 'netwiz' that pops up...
and bingo!!!
Hello,
My phone was previously locked on Orange but it was a long time ago (last year). Now it is (or I thought it was) unlocked and I have been using other provider SIM cards without any problem. Yesterday, I kind of entered frenzy-mode with flashing and I went from RR -> cMIUI -> XXLPX. Surprise, when I reboot the phone after flashing it asks the SIM unlock code. Can anyone tell me how can I solve this problem? It seems now I cannot use any SIM card in it, it doesn't work properly.
I tried clearing cache. It didn't help in any way.
Please help me. :crying:
LE: The IMEI is still present. I can see it in Settings-About phone.
HW Version is MP 1.200 (just checked with EFS). Should I try and unlock it like it says here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064978.
I cannot even understand why this has happened. Can anyone shed some light upon the matter?
Try the unlock app by Helroz

The phone was carrier locked. Dunno how that happened. From now on, I'll keep a backup of my EFS folder.
Solved the issue with an app called GalaxSimUnlock, created by spocky12. Thanks.
Bought an I9300 s3 on eBay is locked to O2
Vodafone sim
Spoke to O2 no help at all. Call 202?
Doesn't make calls.
I've got an efs backup but from the 4.1.2 current stock.
Seems this won't downgrade to 4.1.1
Odined the stock 4.1.1 no joy. Won't boot.
Cwm an old miui 4.1.1 also no boot.
Odin back to stock unbranded 4.1.2 boots fine. Rooted cwm triangle away. Fine.
Whos is this phone? Apparently not mine.
How to down grade please?
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Super wipe after flashing rom helps.
Downgrade to 4.1.1 probably won't have SDS fix so may kill your phone.
If it doesn't make calls with O2 sim then IMEI may be blocked. It won't make calls on Vodafone, because it's locked to O2.
You have to factory reset if it wont boot.

So you're saying after cwm the 4.1.1 I should full wipe.
Then the business.
Then flash a safe kernel before upgrading back.
If I just odin the 4.1.2 stock back over surely the brick bug won't activate?
Flash 4.1.1, full wipe. Do your unlocking, flash 4.1.2
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
This went badly wrong.
Flashed stock region correct. 4.1.1
Flashed chainfire cwm root.
To allow wipe
Booted fine.
The fix as follows doesn't work as the final menu still not available.
Just dial the following keys *#197328640#Main Menu[1] UMTS*[1] Debug Screen*[8] Phone Control*[6] Network Lock*Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF*(after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in*[6] Network Lock then choose*[4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone
Even though I didn't execute anything as that menu option isn't there something bad happened.
I installed galaxsimunlock from the play store.
It now says invalid imei.
Glad I backed that up.
Still locked.
The saga continues
I would try an O2 sim before anything to see if the phone actually works or not .
Blocked phone are blocked via IMEI and require the blocking network to remove the block .
Report phone stolen network block IMEI get new phone sell the now blocked phone is fairly typical .
jje
If I buy an unlock code on the Web or at a store will it sort of the blocking from the network?
Don't know anyone with a micro sim on O2.
Thanks for your times
Edit.
I flashed back to 4.1.2 its ok. The baseband doesn't get replaced on downgrade and isn't understood by the older software. There is a post somewhere here about it.
This is what causes the odd error messages in that unlock app. Currently says can't read nv
Unlock code will do nothing if the IMEI is blocked, the phone is useless.
Take it to a phone store, for a small fee they will tell you if it is locked or blocked.

Are you now saying the phone is blocked ???
If so return to the seller / Ebay .
Unlock code will not remove blocked IMEI .
Usual reason for a block is phone is stolen

I agree if it turns out to be blocked I will. It was PayPal so he must be verified.
But I still don't know anyone with a micro sim. Shame they're not all the same size now.
I was just checking ahead of time. I don't want to pay £15 for a code and it not work.
I work weekends so I'll have to wait until Monday.
Thanks everyone you're being very helpful. Much appreciated.
Good news everybody!
We've got a delivery to...
- found someone with an O2 micro sim.
Works fine on O2.
Seems I'll have to go pay for a code online or in one of those seedy little shops.
Seems a shame. As I can alter my /efs backup and presumably restore it back.
If only I knew which file/s to change.
It's not the most obvious one that contains only three letters O2U
Unless galaxsimunlock doesn't restore properly.
Galaxsim unlock is fine. But you have to pay now because he removed the beta / free apk from his xda thread

I agree galaxsim unlock would be great. But as it now flashes a red bar
"Unable to read nv data"
And offers no option to unlock or pay. Cos it says in the help that it doesnt know it can unlock the phone.
I'll have to wait for an upgrade.
Hey folks,
I really badly messed up my EFS recently, with broken IMEI and S/N. It took me a few days of searching, reading and trying before I finally could restore both IMEI and S/N.
Part of the problem was the XXEMG4 EFSv1 to EFSv2 change, and I lost the backup'ed EFSv1 files (of course I did NOT make an EFS Backup when I got my I9300, shame on me).
So now I face another problem that very likely is related to the above story:
I wanted to flash a Cyanogen 10.2 nightly via mobile Odin but it froze, so after 15min with no progress I rebooted to download mode, flashed Phil'z Touch recovery and reflashed Cyanogen after full wiping.
It booted properly and asked for the PIN, but the correct PIN wasn't accepted anymore. There was no "Wrong PIN" or anything, the same SIM unlock screen appered again. "sim/rmei(or rmid? Anything like that starting with R...) locked" was written at the bottom of the screen.
I shut the phone down, removed the SIM card and booted straight into Android.
In the settings I found my serial no being altered, something starting with 4f..., it was also longer that the usual serial. To me it looked like a hex number.
When I reflash the stock image everything's fine... I haven't tried to flash another rom yet, maybe that's still an option?!
Any other ideas save for "take it to a repair shop"? Unfortunately there aren't any around my town...

Previous unlock methods no longer work with efs v2, there is no solution at present other than unlock code from your network provider.
So, I've tried to flash AOKP now, same problem. The full text is "SIM/RUIM card is locked. - emergency calls only".
I'm not certain, but i think this is the default text in the SIM unlock screen.
No matter which digits I enter, when hitting ENTER the PIN field gets cleared. Even with a wrong PIN there's no "Wrong PIN" warning.
The IMEI is still correct, but the S/N has changed, now it is 4df772e33ef0cf19.
I remember similar problems with my Desire HD when flashing an AOSP kernel on a Sense based rom...

Hi All,
I have an HTC Desire 601 phone that won't connect to a network service. This phone is a side project I've been working on. I replaced the screen and digitizer (the screen was shattered). I also unlocked the phone with a SIM unlock code.
Now, no matter what SIM card I input, it won't connect to a network. I've checked that the IMEI number is not blacklisted (it is not). It registers a sim card is inserted, but won't connect to a network -> I receive the error "SIM card doesn't allow a connection to this network"...every once in a while I'll also get a random "ME returned a temporary error".
I've attempted manually and automatically connecting to a network, but to no avail. I've manually input APN's for different providers, but still nothing. I've basically tried everything that was offered on XDA for other phones with a similar problem but didn't get any positive results.
The phone was previously locked to virgin mobile. I have a couple of theories as to what could be wrong but I'm not sure (I'm newbie when it comes to cell ware and its software, I just like to take things apart and put them back together etc.). One theory is that the unlocking wasn't complete in some form; not sure how though, considering it no longer asks me to input an unlocking code when i insert a different SIM card (i used a Koodo sim card). The other theory I had was the antenna, which I've read is often located in the SIM card slot (or in this case the frame), is damaged (the phone fell and had a shattered screen).
I no longer have a warranty on the phone, so I can't just send it back to replace (plus I like solving problems). I like XDA forums because they helped me flash my ROM on my samsung (after it completed a faulty upgrade and was stuck on download mode). I was wondering if anyone knows what I could do, from a software perspective, or if I should look into finding antenna replacement? (I don't think the sim card reader is broken as it registers a sim card is in there)
PS. sorry for the essay message, I just wanted to provide as much detail as possible

Before investing in some hardware, did you tried a factory reset? Maybe flashing a RUU to set back your phone to 100% stock (this doesn't remove the sim-unlock) could help. If the problem persist after flashing a RUU then yes its probably an hardware problem, its hard to tell what exactly.

I've definitely tried a factory reset, but that didn't work. I haven't flashed the RUU. To be honest, I"m not sure what the RUU is. Is it related to the ROM (I've flashed the ROM on another phone)?

A RUU will restore the original firmware and software on your phone like if it was brand new. If the problem persist after flashing a ruu, its most likely an hardware problem. I have posted a few RUU in the general section, maybe there is one that fit on your phone. Check link in my signature.

Ok, so I've looked for an RUU that matches my model (details below) but I can't find anything (I'm probably looking in the wrong place):
Android version: 4.4.2
Sense: 5.5
Software: 2.14.666.15
SDK APi: 5.69
Can I use an RUU that's close like the one below?(from your thread link)
2.14.666.3 (Bell Mobility) Android 4.4 Sense 5.5
Link: androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347841561.......etc.
