Dear all,
Does anyone knows how to make SIM toolkit available on the XDA machines? I have MDA with firmware 3.14.02 ENG from T-Mobile Czech.
There is no access to the important SIM toolkit applications (banking, info, news..) on my SIM card as the standard SIM Manager doesn't support this feature.
Since the SIM Toolkit is not supported I have to use another mobile for accesing the SIM toolkit and this really bother me. :?
Please, let me know how to make it working.... :?:
Thanks
Martin
According to Zviratko ROM version 3.15.15 should provide you with the SIM toolkit application. For further info read his posts in the ROM update forum.

Try 3.15.15, 3.16.13 has ST as well AFAIK... or try 3.16.43 ) (25/02/2003) )
Sorry that's been me
Zviratko:
I don't think 3.16.13 has SIM Toolkit. At least I haven't seen it on my Qtek with 3.16.13, but it could of course be my SIM that is not SIM toolkit enabled. Also, you have previously been very clear about the lack of SIM tookit in 3.16.13 and used that as a reason to go for 3.15.15 instead.
Do you know what's the difference between 3.16.13 and 3.16.43? And where to find 3.16.43 for download?
3.16.43 is a testing version of T-Mobile Czech ROM, not publicly available. The final version will be out during the next 14 days (that's what I've been told).
I just can't remember what 3.16.13 was like - i have had it only for a few minutes before I banned it from my MDA )
3.16.43 has plenty of features from the previous ROM's - Sim toolkit, GPRS Always On and PAP Authentization...
...and a feature I have not yet seen anywhere - Wireless Modem - It shuts down the whole TAPI (I think - the signal reception indicator disappears) and allows you to connect with a notebook or other device through the MDA as a dial-up modem. After stopping the service, the GSM indicator is started again.
To my surprise, it doesn't have ISDN data call type like 3.15.15, but most people won't miss that one.

It could be a problem with the SIM unrelated to unlocking.
Does the SIM work in another phone? Does the SIM that came with the XDA2 still work? Have you tried another hard reset?
i tryed different SIM cards! the sim cards working fine! The original card not working anymore! I flashed the 1.6.0 in it now and the same radio stack seems not working fine! Can we rewrite the GSM settings again (maybe corupted)?

So you also re-flashed it with a different ROM? I suspect that the problems are more related to this than due to the unlocking. The unlocking uses the official interface and no unorthodox methods are used to unlock it. I've had no reports from anyone that the phone did not work afterwards or even that the unlock code did not work. It is important to consider all aspects that could have influence else you might be hunting for the wrong solution.
Don't know what is realy rong with it. I locke it back (AT%HTCLOCK...) and now radio at least saying Searching (with same firmware). Do u have a full gsm backup (tunning as well?) maybe is something messed there.
I use ICQ or MSN or Yahoo messager can u please PM with ur details saw we can chat live?
Thank's

Radio does not work after unlock
Got the unlock code from Cingular. The code was accepted. Entered T-Mobile SIM but then phone will not make or receive calls. Even after putting original Cingular SIM it will not work.
Inserted another Cingular SIM and attempted call. It starts working. However, if I put T-Mobile SIM it would go back to same state.
Any help would be appreciated.
It is MDA 3 from Siemens for Cingular with Radio version 1.02.10
Hello everyone,
I have this very annoying problem with my x01HT after using the imei-check unlocker.
I have a Softbank post Dec.2 device and as soon as imei-check released the unlocker(M3100v4bUnlock.exe) I bought it and unlocked my set. According to the software the unlocking was successful and after that I had the chance to try it with a DoCoMo SIM card and it was working very nice. The real problem came when I tried to use SIM cards from GSM networks. I have tried both a Bulgarian (Globul) SIMcard and one in Thailand (True). Both GSM SIM cards when I start the phone say SIM lock, emergency numbers only, and I cannot use my phone with them. I can still use the roaming with the Softbank card, but that of course is not what I want.
Has anyone encountered something like that?
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks.
Hi!
I have CID unlocked my 3100 (already SIM unlocked) and I flashed WM 61 Pro V1g everything is working fine but the problem is it's working only, on the one SIM card I used while unlocking the phone. Any other card I put in (even cards from the same carrier) it gives me "SIM failure" so normaly I can't turn on the phone function. Can anybody help me at what could be the cause.
P.S.: I have tried flashing other ROMS but it's the same thing on every one.
I have tried to CID unlock the phone with another card in but it's the same.
Ex Cingular 3100 now WM 6.1 Standard

Hi! Again...
To clear something up I did tried a different Radio and now I can use 2 of 3 providers in Switzerland (Orange and Swissscom) but the 3rd one Sunrise (the one I am using) want work. I tried two sifferent Sim cards from that provider and they both gave me a Sim failure.
Could that have to do something with the voltage of the card or is it something else.
Please I need help, cause I realy want to use this phone but I can't just change providers because of the phone.
Help!!! Please.

i had the same problem on Qtek 8500 with new Beeline SIM-cards. The problem was solved by changing that new SIM card to older.
Thanks for the answer but my SIM card is from 2003 so any older would not be an option. I just thought it had something to do with the radio or the ROM and maybe could be fixable but thank you anyway and keep up the good work, the WM6.1 Pro is great!!!!
P.S.:Kosovo was and will always be Serbia.
A friend of mine had one of those disposable phones & I took the sim out and put it into my unlocked 8500 to see what would happen. I got the same error, sim card failure so it might be that while your phone is unlocked, your carrier may have locked the sim. Just my .02 on that one.
I have a magician which was sim locked to T-Mobile.
Thanks to the tools offered, I was able to un-lock the phone and use it on O2 for 3 years.
I had a problem with the phone and had to re-install the ROM from the CD supplied by T-mobile. Upon doing so, the phone has locked itself to T-Mobile again and will not accept any other sim cards. I have tried O2, Vodafone and Orange.
The phone itself has now got Windows 6.1 by Cotulla, but as mentioned above, I can only use it on T-Mobile.
I have tried:
Lokiwiz (error message)
xdadev_all_unlock says the following:
xdadev_all_unlock started
device=HTC Magician
xdadev_all_unlock started
device=HTC Magician
xdadev_all_unlock started
device=HTC Magician
could not find security key for device type HTC Magician
xdadev_all_unlock failed
xdaSimlock
xda2unlock-v2.2 (says "found all locks to be already unlocked!"
The device still won't allow me to use any other sim cards. T-Mobile supply a code for £29.00 but it's not guaranteed to work and I've already tried it once. Does anyone know where the code is stored and if it can be removed manually? I have seen other threads stating that it should ask me for a security code if I use a different sim, but my phone does not do this. All it shows on the main screen is the antenna with an exclamation mark. With a T-mobile sim, it gets a full signal. I really want to be able to use this phone with other networks.
I will be very grateful to anyone out there that can help please??
Kind Regards,
Jp
Please, I know someone out there can help me out. Any suggestions or ideas? Help me out please????
Update
I have been trying to get this phone sorted, so I thought, why not go back to the old ROM - WM2003SE. I uploaded this and the phone briefly unlocked. I even made a call to the top up service on O2.
It then lost the network and was searching for it, after which it goes back to the previous state "No Service".
Please help!!!
HELP!!!
Firstly, Merry Xmas to you all.
Once again, I am requesting for someone to advise me on this problem. Please help me out.
Your help will be most appreciated.

Hi there,
I rooted my phone. I've installed Cyanogenmod 7 and enjoyed it. However, it is SIM locked. I purchased an unlock code... but now I can't enter it.
This person had the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313393
Cyanogenmod does not prompt to unlock even with a foreign SIM card.
The solution was to revert to a stock firmware. Which is great... except for the fact that my phone's model number is:
i5500m.
It's the dreaded Canadian version. I can't find firmware for it anywhere. I've tried Check FUS:
Product Code: GT-I5500YKMVMC
No firmware info retrieved for given data.
Generally it seems like I only have two solutions... and one failure.
The first solution is to find a stock firmware for this phone. Or receive a backup from someone who has the stock firmware with Clockworkmod.
The second solution is to enter the unlock code without the prompt. Is there a way, an app, or a hack to do something like this?
My failure is to accept that there's no reverting. But I don't really want to do that.
Oh, and thank you for welcoming me into your forums. XDA Developers is a really amazing site. I've thanked it plenty of times for saving my ass.
Thanks for your time,
Sacrosaint.

Look closely at the latest changelog and notice that point 12 states -
"Network: SIM lock messages will no longer be ignored. This may help people who have problems using SIM cards that require a PIN unlock."
Good luck

Thank you so much! I missed that update by only two days. I'm sure this will help many people.
I'll edit this post with my results once completed.
Thanks again!
Sacrosaint.
---------------------------------
Results:
So I updated the ROM. I did not do a data-wipe. I inserted a foreign SIM card. It says it's connected but I'm not getting any service... I don't believe it's unlocked, as I haven't entered a code yet.
Perhaps I should do a data-wipe and retry. I'll repost afterward.
---------------------------------
Potential Final Update:
Odd! I inserted a Rogers SIM card into my phone running CyanogenMod and although no unlock code appeared... it worked. Also known as: my phone is unlocked.
Some interesting thoughts concerning this:
My phone model is i5500m. It comes locked to Bell or Virgin Mobile in Canada.
Upon trying the bml5 unlock method, my code came up as "01234567." Others experiencing this problem concluded that the phone was hard locked.
However, it would appear that flashing this ROM effectively removed the SIM lock. That means that originally, the SIM lock was a part of the firmware. That is slightly scary. I wish I would have come to this conclusion earlier, however, as I paid a premium of $40 dollars to unlock it (at least I supported a local business.)
So: for i5500m or Canadian Samsung Galaxy 5 users to unlock their phones, they must simply root and flash a custom ROM. Originally mine was from Bell, and it has worked with a Rogers SIM card. I'll possibly update this tomorrow when I try the phone with a Koodo SIM.
Hope this helps someone out there.

Sacrosaint,
I have an unlocked GT-I5503YKAINU running baseband I5500LUYJP2 and ROM CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC0-galaxy5-v1.9. I inserted a Virgin Mobile Canada SIM card and do not get Service. With a Rogers SIM card, I do get Service. I spoke to people at Virgin and they said it's because my phone doesn't support HSPA+. The reason it works with Rogers is because it supports GSM.
I'm wonder if there's a way to install the baseband firmware from GT-I5500YKMVMC and still use CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC0-galaxy5-v1.9?

What the representative said was true.
Virgin is both HSPA+ and CDMA. The Galaxy 5 IS a GSM phone. Its radio will not work with other frequencies.
You will want to go with Bell, Rogers, Telus, Fido, or Koodo, the GSM suppliers, my friend.
