Hi all...
I recently picked up a cheap UK Orange SPV M600 (G4 Model) from eBay, and I've been able to follow all the instructions on here to try a few different ROMs already
The problem I have is that everything works perfectly, except for the phone!
It was (obviously) originally on Orange, but I used LokiWiz to get the SIM unlock code, and then entered that successfully with an O2 SIM in the phone... but now it won't work with any SIM apart from a Greek Vodafone one which I had lying around.
I've tried various Orange and O2 SIMS, and none of them work apart from the Greek Vodafone one
All the SIMs I've tried are recognised by the SIM Manager tool, and I can view and edit the sim contacts etc... but all I get for the phone signal is "searching...", and it never locks on to O2 or Orange... only Vodafone.
Any ideas or suggestions please?
[edit]Just realised that I didn't say i HAVE already tried all of the different radio roms available on here, and none make any difference
Another question?
OK - no replies to my first post, so I guess nobody has any suggestions, but I've done a little more reading myself and I now wonder if the M600 has been previously reported as stolen or lost and is now network blocked by it's IMEI??
As far as I can tell, O2 and Orange will refuse to connect an IMEI blocked phone to the network at all, while Vodafone will allow it to connect, but won't allow you to make or receive calls... which does seem to be what's happening with my old Greek vodafone SIM installed.
Can anyone confirm if my understanding of IMEI blocking is correct, and can anyone tell me how I can find out if a specific IMEI is on the UK blocked list please?
As I said, I bought this through eBay recently, so maybe I could still get my money back if it's been stolen and then sold on through eBay, but I guess I'd need to know that's definitely what's happened before I could try that, so ANY help would be much appreciated.
Bad netiquette to reply to my own OP I know, but I thought that would be better than just editing my original... sorry if anyone gets annoyed at that.
Hi there,
I am looking to purchase a sim free hero and I am hoping to use it on A sim only 02 tariff (in the UK). Chances are that it will be an Orange or T-mobile model as these are most coomon.
Just wondered does anyone know if I will face any problems running it on an O2 sim only tariff?
Is the new rom update avilable for both orange and t-mobile now? Is it easily upgradeable without rooting etc.
Would it be better to update the rom first then unlock it? Also will unlocking be a problem? And will inputing 02 web settings be an issue?
Any help much appreciated
HI There
I brought T-Mobile G2/Hero from ebay
and i m using o2 Uk sim only tariff,
unlocked from unlock-now.com, code came in 15 min after payments pretty straight forward
using internet and email using o2 setting no problems at all
also updated to newest version from T-mobile 2.73.110.26
the only thing is i can not root now as i wanted to go for HTC's original ROM instead of T-Mobile but that's my choice you don't have to do that if u don't want it
need any other info more than happy to help
thanx

Has anyone knows if the JesStream is SIM Locked to AT&T or is it possible to use a different Operator SIM ?
Anyone tried ?
It's SIM locked to AT&T.
Does anyone no if ATT will unlock them so you can use a local sim when travelling internationally?

...or if it can be unlocked with some other tools?
Seen a lot of offers for IMEI unlock code for jetstream around the net. Anyone tried that? fake?
Having mine shipped tomm to the middle east...already obtained the IMEI and had it unlocked by one of those sites you mentioned...will update next week when I receive it
I got mine sent to me by a friend in the states, it was bought without a plan and came locked to at&t, I called them and explained I live in Australia but they said they couldn't unlock it. I was able to get an unlock code and made a video about it here http://youtu.be/a8eN0roRxHQ
Now it is unlocked hope that helps
Thank you everybody for feedback!
Great News - will try unlocking my HTC JetStream which will use a Middle East carrier data SIM & will update - thanks for the hint !!!
Perfectly unlocked to used with any SIM, I paid 25$ to HTCIMEIUNLOCK, waited 15 minutes, got the unlocking code, entered it and ...WOW !!! SIM unlocked.

Thank you for the feedback, everybody! Definitely going to find some one with US social security number now!
Buying from outside the USA
I saw these people will sell to international customers. I do not know anything about them, though.
I have ordered mine from AT&T through a friend.

Hm Interesting.
I got my hands on a HTC jetstream test machine for their engineers and it didn't come locked. Had AT&T Logos on it as well. Could just be because it was for the Taiwan Engineers so they didn't lock it. Quite interesting.
Can anyone verified if Jetstream gets 3G/3.5G speed on US T-Mobile sim card with AWS frequency? Or just edge? Someone from XDA posted the Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcZlljP62Ew&feature=youtu.be) video saying it works on Orange network, but I realized the device was only getting "edge".

Hi,
Was wondering if the sim unlock will cause a change in the root or if the root could interfere with the sim unlock or if any future updates will revert the sim unlock to sim lock?
Wanted to be sure before unlocking the sim.

I unlocked my Jetstream a couple of months ago. I rooted the jetstream last week and didn't see any issues. Although now I am bricked because of an unrelated reason. But you won't see any problems with unlocking your SIM.

Rooted first but now cannot sim unlock
Hello Everyone,
I have a Jetstream ATT which I rooted with developer d00mlord's stuff. Recently I decided to unlock it from the ATT network. The unlock code says unlock successful, but after rebooting it comes back up with the same locked screen. This will happen over and over again. This is happening with an ATT sim card too, so that I cannot use the data features with anything but wifi. The company who provided the unlock code tells me it may be due to the tablet having been rooted, and that I will need to factory reset everything. So, I am hoping that someone might be able to tell me what I should do. I have noticed that this thread addresses the sim unlock first and then a root afterwards, but not the other way around. I cannot seem to find a thread that is more relevant. This is my first posting and I am brand n00b so thank you very much for even reading this over.
when you say locked screen..what exactly do you mean?
for other sims to work you need to add a proper APN (maybe even for at&t after the unlocking). try googling: "the name of your provider + APN settings"
and add it to the settings>wireless>mobile networks
Hi
Just a quick question. I have a company work phone HTC Mozart. When I take the sim out and stick in another sim from the same operator I get sim locked. It seems to only work with the one sim it came with.
Is this even possible??
How would I go about unlocking the phone. Have we gotton to the stage where any of the custom roms are operator unlocked.
Thanks
Hi there, I have an unlocked HTC hero that was originally on Orange. I unlocked this a while back to use it on the giffgaff network. In the end i switched to vodafone and and got a galaxy nexus.
Move onto now and I had to sell the galnxeus. I tried to use my vodafone sim in the htc hero, but it just comes up no service and when i select vodafone from the networks it does not work. Any other sim card in this phone works fine, its just not accepting vodafone sims. Is there anything that could be causing this?
I have done some googling and found a post (cant link because of stupid 10 post rule) stating that if the 9th and 10th characters are 1 and 2, then it will have issues on certain networks.. ofcourse, my imei has that.. anyone know how i can fix this?
