Post "Unlocking" Help - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day
I've used JICTech MultiServer client and tried to unlock my X10
Flashed stock 2.1 and went into flash mode to attempt to unlock my phone
I got the "Please contact your dealer" error and now it wont read my sim card
Is there anything i'm doing wrong or?
><

Same thing happened to me, it appears the unlock screws up your Sim card detection if it does not complete successfully. For me step 3 got an error and failed. I just ran it again and Step 3 completed smoothly and fixed the Sim problem.

Well unfortunantley - I'm screwed -.-

anyone knows a solution or smtn?

bump .

To anyone with the same problem maxrfon replied to my pm with this:

I am going to try to turn off my firewall and see where it takes me

Update:
With maxrfon's help I've fixed my phone
What caused my phone to be unable to read sim cards is still a mystery to me :/
I do strongly recommend this service as he could have turned me down and demand a payment for his time which he did not.
If you had a simillar problem contact him and/or talk to support at nextgenserver.com

[Q] Noob question: I've rooted and flashed how can I get my phone back to how it was?

Hi there, I think I may have messed the phone up a little, such as this MMI error message which comes up so I can't use speeddial, or any other # code for that matters, also I can't disable call forwarding, and a few other things.
This must have been the result of rooting, etc. Is there an easy way to get my phone back to how it was (basically how it would be straight from the manufacturer, no root at all, just exactly how it was when I first bought it brand new?), bearing in mind I have also flashed it 3 times?
Cheers.
it might help if you said what you flashed it with? Details.
But if you are just wanting to flash back to stock, here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Read, and follow the instructions. They are very clear.

"Hi there, I first of all rooted my previously straight out of the box T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 using the xwkdd_insecure.tar (with Odin and SuperOneClick - I am a complete noob by the way, but this seemed to work after I followed a YouTube video), so that I could then unlock it to use 3 Mobile (in the UK) which I am on - I had bought this phone brand new and sealed from eBay (someone's unwanted upgrade). I then went on to using the free ChainFire sim unlock app, however I soon discovered that after all my phone can't have been locked in the first place as I just got a 00000000 code, never had to enter that and my sim worked having not previously tested it... Then I went on to flash it by using this file first - I9100XWKE7_StockKernel.tar - after seeing another YouTube video to purely debrand it but this only got rid of the yellow ! logo which appeared after rooting it, that is all.
So I then went on to using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894
in order to debrand it of all T-Mobile stuff, such as the T-Mobile logo and trademark tune which came on after switching the phone on, and get it like a standard sim free/factory unlocked phone if you know what I mean. I used this file as mentioned in the link - I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.TAR
The latter part of the guide goes on to entering #272*<IMEI># or something like that, but I have tried that all of the other alternatives and all I get is "USS code running" and like 2 seconds later the error message
"Connection problem or invalid MMI code" appears. I basically can't enter anything in my phone dial with # or * or whatever. What is wrong?
I have also noticed that whenever I call someone a message saying "Conditional call forwarding active" appears, but then proceeds to make the call okay. I have tried to disable and fiddle around with the call forwarding settings, phoned my network provider, but again, error messages come up.
What exactly is wrong and how can I fix it - I am a bit of a noob with all this....? It is surely something to do with all that stuff I have mentioned. Please help me as I honestly don't know how to go about fixing this. What is the most straightforward thing to do which will stop these messages?
Last of all, I flashed using the following, my phone seemed to be auto-rooted as I never had to root again? I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1.tar
Thanks in advance."

May be you can do factory reset...if still not working return to where you bought. You can search this forum, how to do factory reset.
I had the same problem after installing the MIUI ROM. However, it still showed the keypad to enter my PIN code, which I did, and the error disappeared after that.
i had the same problem, so, after a couple tests, that´s the "solution"...
take your SD card off, and turn the mobile on, will work.
after that, you can put it in again, and be alert because the time you have to insert your sim pim(sim password)is short(till the mobile finish "search for media" in your sd)
at least for me, it worked
Hi, Please help since today I´m having the same problema. No SIM card is detected by the phone, IMEI says Unknown, baseband Unknown.
HElp PLEASE!!!
First step: Install a stock rom and see if it works, backup everything first.
Second step: If first step does not work, you have an EFS corruption. Plenty of threads on this and how to recover your IMEI. Search will be your friend.

[Q] How can I go back to Stock ROM c/w Radio working

Hi Guys, hoping someone can help me here.
I know I have replied to another thread asking the same question, but I wanted to ask in my own post so I could detail exactly what I have done in the hope someone can point out to me what a complete idiot I have been and put me right.
I tried to upgrade my sons phone this week which was on MiniCM7-2.07. I followed all the instructions to unlock bootloader etc and all seemed to go well, I booted up into MiniCM7-2.15 successfully however there is no network coverage, and there hasnt been since. The phone was sim unlocked about a year ago but I cant remember if I got Orange to do it for me or I paid one of the various unlockers for the code. I know it was never hooked up to a separate machine (SETOOL?). I tried my original Orange SIM in it to see if that fixed it, but still no joy.
You are able to browse the various networks available as it searches for them and finds them, but when you choose a certain network it returns with an error that your SIM will not work with that network, or words to that effect.
If you take the SIM out you get a totally different error, so pretty sure the SIM carrier is working.
So, to rectify this I relocked the bootloader and used SEUS to go back to stock 2.1. This all worked fine apart from I still have no network. WIFI works fine, but no data or phone calls.
I have tried flashing other kernels, again with no joy, always the same problem.
What else can I try? I used to do mess around with linux so I know my way around console, is there a module in the kernel I could try swapping or changing? Surely there is something that is controlling that part of the phone that has been changed and isnt being changed back again? What does SEUS do, does it just restore the ROM or is it the kernel too?
Really hoping someone can help with this, as of this moment the x10mini is as good as a chocolate tea pot to me
Tony
Did you find a decision of your problem? I have the same problem, with the only difference that I never changed the ROM. I just rooted the phone with the SuperOneClick tool, and then tried to unlock the bootloader, but with no luck there. After completing all the steps in the tutorial with no problems during the process, it remained locked.
And I just realized after that, that the phone has the sim card problem, just as yours.
So any suggestions?
guys first of all let's try a test if you have an unlocked bootloader go ahead and flash the latest nAa Kernel (nAa-10) then from that kernel install MiniCM7 2.1.8 and tell me your results if it was negative you should reflash all Without locking the bootloader from SEUS via the Repair option therefore after this it should work as the SEUS restore all the software kernel and ROM to its original state from the manufacturer Sony Ericsson.
let me know what will happen with you.
Any feedback on this?
Thanks!

"This SIM card is from an unknown source"

I've looked around for similar thread(s) but found nothing. I recently followed the instructions on this website-> "teambamf.net/index.php/topic/3528-guide-to-install-ics-ruu-and-firmware-windows/" and got the phone started up. Unfortunately since I'm not Verizon (T-mobile USA) I've been stuck at the "Activating" screen for hours now and it keeps saying "SIM card from unknown source". Any help to fix either (if not both of these problems) will be greatly appreciated.
P.S - tried rebooting several times and still stuck at the Activation screen after SIM from unknown source.
did you try to boot the phone up first without sim card? The phone by default is locked to cdma and you would have to manually change to gsm in order for it to work.
Try to boot up without SIM (and also any SD card. I had issue that my sd card has a rom in it and it won't let me to get any network data, so I had to erase the SD card and it work. So start without the sd card). Then setup the phone. Once it's setup, change the network to GSM and then shut down and put hte sim. See if this works.
I would suggest check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421341
also, is your sim already activated? I am not too sure if you can use rezound ot activate any sim. if it is not activate, try to activate with a diff phone first and then put in the rezound afterwards.

If you have Verizon and a Verizon branded phone and are getting this message, you need to contact customer support.

Have you tried this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355
Otherwise, the Business Sense ROM is based on stock, and this will happen on all stock ROMs, but it should not effect actually using the device... It would be best to move to a CM or AOSP based ROM.

[Q] Apparent SIM Card Error

Hi, first and foremost let me say I don't own the phone and I'm asking the question for a friend.
Their Galaxy S3 i9300 keeps giving them an error saying "Restart device - The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted.", however they have got a SIM card in the phone and it appears when they are using it. Is this some sort of firmware error or is it a hardware error and can it be fixed at all?
Could be either, factory reset and flash latest stock firmware then test with another sim. If still the same then sim reader is most likely failure.

Thank you for your reply, I will let them know when I next see them. And your quote is true, when I put in the tread title XDA suggested threads what weren't even this device. Plus I was at college, my battery on my laptop was nearly dead and I had no access to a plug socket to charge it . I would have searched more if I did.
