SIM not detected SK17i

hello,
I have a big problem, I conducted a desimlockage via Wotan and later my unlocked bootloader.
This morning my brother has done an OTA update on .58
My phone is bricked it, so I tried to relock the BL, to restart the phone but no sim is now recognized and the BL is pressed into NO.
Thank you help me please.
i think unlock Bl and OTA update will 100% crash your phone and if you relock the BT without stock Rom will crash it to.
Simple to solve: try a different sim card. For some reason, .58 firmware and above doesn't have the drivers for some kinds of sim cards. I know it may sound weird, but it happened with me too and my mobile carrier gave me a different sim card and now everthing is working again.
If you can't get another sim card, you have to downgrade it to 2.3.3 firmware, so you can use oficial rom along your actual sim card again. I never tested custom roms within our devices, so I can't say if your sim card would or would not work with them.
I hope that helped.

[Q] Check whether my bootloader is locked or not

I already rooted it but i want to check whether the bootloader is unlocked or not

Android.phone has stopped. Sim card problem.

I have an unlocked Motorola Atrix 4g, and today I have changed the sim from one from another carrier, and it show: process.android.phone has stopped.
I have read that it´s because some phones does not work with 64kb sim or 32kb. So I tried with a new sim from that carrier and it continues showing the same message.
The cell phone recognizes the sim card, but the signal instantly gets off.
With my sim card it does not happen...what can I be?
Can I fix it flashing a new rom?
I am with 2.3.6 official rom.
Many Thanks.
If you have an unlocked BL, try flashing a different radio.

[Q] Unlock & Root Note for use in Australia

Hi everyone,
I am giving a family member my old Note to take back to australia. She is with Telstra there. I have rooted it previously, but have returned it to stock and am looking to root it again. Does rooting it essentially unlock it? Will she be able to use it in Australia in Telstra and is there a preferred ROM or MODEM that might be best to install for her?
Thanks for any help you guys can offer.
You can call at&t and ask for the unlock code. Tell them you will be using the phone out of the USA and they will give you a code and instructions.
Root means you have access to the root directory of the file system. Unlock means your phone is not locked to a specific carrier. Root and unlock are not related.
When you are ready to pass along the phone, just reset the phone to factory and remove your sim and sd card.

Even if I install a custom rom, it still won't be unlocked? I installed an At&T based rom and was able to use it on Telus in canada. Doesn't that mean it was unlocked?
If you were able to use it with a Telus sim card then your phone is unlocked. ATT ROM and modem should work fine for Telstra. Not sure if the LTE band is the same though.
<Wikipedia: List of LTE Networks>
Telstra is currently using Band 3, with eventual expansion into Bands 7,8 & 28. A long way from Band 17 used by AT&T and other operators in the Americas.

International SIM Unlock and Installing Custom ROMs

I am moving to Taiwan next month and I wanted to unlock my phone to be able to use SIM cards from their carriers there. I am planning to call Sprint to have them do it for me OTA but I just wanted to check on a couple things first.
1. If I decide to install a custom ROM after Sprint does the SIM unlock, will it "break" the unlock? I'm not exactly clear on what controls the locking of the SIM card so I just want make sure I know what to avoid doing to my phone in order to keep the phone unlocked for international use.
2. If I cancel my Sprint service and only use the phone on an international carrier will the SIM unlock stick? I'm assuming it would but I just want to make sure because of my ignorance of how this whole SIM unlocking thing works.
Thanks in advance, any insight about this topic would be greatly appreciated!
The ssu app will work if your on KK.
Once it's unlock it stays unlocked.

Thanks for the link! I think I'll try going the free route first and have Sprint unlock it for me. If I end up running into any problems in the future with flashing ROMs, it's good to know that there's an app I can buy to keep it unlocked.
