Hey, I have an SK17i locked on Orange that I flashed with stock UK firmware .58 (2.3.4) from WotanServer and now the phone wont accept ANY sim cards, nor connect to any WIFI signal.
It also loops in the regard that it wont save settings and asks to select language everytime I start the phone.
Ive tried a few different firmwares from the wotan server. Tried using flashtool with firmware downloaded from these forums, with no success.
Any help really appreciated as im struggling to find what the problem is.

try this firmware and flash it using flashtool
make sure to wipe everything and don't exclude anything
Download Sk17i Firmware Global
Thanks for the firmware, I did try it but I had the same issues.
I resolved it now, I had to unlock the phone (Network SIM Lock) and now its working fine. I wouldnt want to guess at why the original SIM that came with the phone wouldnt work on a debranded firmware but maybe someone here will incase someone else bumps into this problem.
Thanks.

I seem to have the all too common problem with my X10 where it reboots when under lots of load.
I've decided i want to return it, however i'm currently using a rooted Nordic firmware, and i'd like to return the phone to standard before taking it to the store.
The phone is a Vodafone UK model (SI 1232-4285)
I've altered the settings inside build.prop to reflect the above number, rebooted the handset, then tried to reflash the firmware, however the PC Companion updater tells me "There is no software available for your phone yet, please try again later.", then ends, without actually performing the repair.
Any ideas?
It's not the SI that you want.. it's the build number which you can get from a link in here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828163
and make sure that you reboot the phone after amending the details before you to to reflash.
Thanks for that.
Looking at this line:
X10i VFE-UK VFE 1234-4579 1232-4285 Vodafone UK/Sensuous black
I presume i should be setting it to 1234-4579 then?
Unfortunately in the mean time, i decided to try flashing the original operators firmware, which i downloaded from the developer section, and now the phone is booting to a vanilla 1.6 OS but asking for a SIM network unlock PIN...
think you'll need to find a new firmware and reflash.. then you can try again with the firmware code.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
and yes... 1234-4579
Thanks,
I downloaded flashtool and the latest 2.1 world generic and those flashed on just fine. The phone then started working again and i managed to root it, reinstall root explorer and correctly edit the build number.
SEUS then happily repaired the phone to the latest Vodafone UK firmware.
Things get stranger though, as i then tried to restore my backup i made on the old firmware to get all my contacts etc back. First couple of times i tried it the phone rebooted, so i left it to charge over night, and tried again this morning with a full battery. Backup Restore went perfectly, and it told me to reboot the phone.
Cept now it wont turn on. The phone vibrates momentarily upon pressing the power button, but does nothing else
Is it possible that some "system settings" from my backup have conflicted with the new firmware?
I'm going to try another repair now and see if that will get it working again.
you can't restore your old firmware on top of the existing firmware.. at least not without losing the existing.. If you want your old contents back but not the firmware then you'll need to restore just those elements.. what did you use to back up with?
Hey guys,
after flashing a new Rom on my X10 (BlackEditionHD), my mobile network connection didn't work anymore. So i decided to do the usual thing: Flash the default firmware with SEUS and (after the problem wasn't resolved) I flashed the stock firmware (X10i GB unbranded) with flashtool. But my problem still exists: I can unlock my SIM cart (my PIN is recognized), however my Phone doesn't seem to unlock the SIM properly and doesn't find any mobile network. I tried various kernels/basebands/roms, but even the stock Roms won't work anymore.
Did I brick my X10 or is there any possible solution?
EDIT:
By now, the stock firmware seems to "freeze" after entering the pin. I can open the status bar though and turn the phone off by software, but there are no icons, no menues, etc....

Just because it shows the 3 welcome screen doesn't mean it's not unlocked, just branded. If you continue past the welcome screen, are you sure your Orange SIM doesn't work? If so, what method did you use to SIM-unlock it?
Thx a lot for the reply.
Initially i have used Chainfrie's Galaxy S2 sim unlock. but didn't work. Then i have used Helroze's Galaxy_S unlock. After that i pressd *#7465625# it says
Network lock OFF
Network Subset lock OFF
SP Lock OFF
By this way i believe its unlocked. But dont know its really unlocked.
Cheers
Tony
Branded means network branding and add on .
Your is 3 branded
Locked means locked to a network unlocked and it will work on any network .
#
Not recognize sim first question has to be does it reconize any other sim .Second question have you entered the network settings for orange ???

Type in *#06# does your imei number show?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Thx for the reply,
Yes it does show the original IMEI no.

Tony
By the info youve given already your phone should be unlocked. Will it not make or receive calls or is it just the web that aint working? Does the sim card work in another phone?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Thx for the reply.

Kindly let me know anything else u like me to look for.

Sorry to jump on this thred but noticed the OP had the same kernel, build and baseband numbers as my newly bought S2.
Ive been looking about for the right files to download to root mine but have been puzzled by the right ones to get.
Which are the corect kernel and firmware files I need?
Currently on Three network also looking to unlock and debrand.
Hope you can help
Cheers Lee

Only two possible answers left .
One you have not entered your networks settings or they are wrong .
If you have then phone is not unlocked .
Simple test .
Phone works with original sim = software OK .
Other sim works in another phone = sim ok
Phone works on another network sim after network setting have been entered if not then its not unlocked phone .

thx for all your support. its working now
Hello
i have rooted my phone because i need to use a different sim. Because i was with 3 it wont let me to use a different sim even after rooting and unlocking it.
The only way if u want to use a different sim is to flash a unbranded official uk firmware on it.Because even if u unlocked the phone after rooting all the bloat ware and the fiemware from 3 wont let u use any other sim (i mean in my case.) but make sure u have already backed up the current firmware before flashing a new firmware.
Please use method only if u bold enough to do it. because if u done anything wrong it may void the warranty.Please do all this in your own risk, to overcome this use a jig u can buy from ebay. or goole it or there is lots of information about this in you tube to reset the flash counter
I will explain what i did to my phone
Step1, Rooted my phone using the method described in android authority and firmware xwlp7 which is described on the above site. here is the link for it please copy and paste on your browser then u will see the method how to do it.
http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...xMSnBw&usg=AFQjCNEAJtIUKzYLRTUMggMwJWe2V-SseA
Step 2,Once u have rooted Get the sim unlock apps from Google play, in my case the Chain fires one didn't work, use this app only once, if u use it more than once u r phone may get locked. Then i have tried Helroz's Galaxy_S Unlock and it did worked.You can check this by typing *#7465625# in u r dial pad once the app run and if u r phone is unlocked it will say sim lock 'OFF'.
But at this stage my phone wasn't working with my other orange sim . The reason was the phone was still on 3 uk firmware that's why the phone wont let me to use any other sim. So i need to find a unbranded original firm ware close to XWLP7 which was my original firmware because i don't really want to try any other firm ware.
So i have found that carphone warehouse uk was using XWLP7 firmware in their sgs2 which is same as mine. Because phones from carphone ware house can use any sim i thought this may work with any sim on my phone as well, You can get this from SAMWARE site where u can find all the firmwares for sgs2, new and old. This site is free and only need a registration. Down load it and extract it in to a folder(tar file). Once you are in the site look for the carphone ware house uk's firmware. I hope you are in Ice cream sandwich 4.0.3
Step 3, Before flashing this do a back up of your current firmware just in case if anything goes wrong , u can flash back. U can do that in recovery mode, (Turn your phone off, turn it back on again by pressing volup+home+power) U have options there to back up, once you done the back up of original firmware in the reoverymode
Step 4, Do a factory wipe/ reset
Step 5, Do a cache wipe as well on the recovery mode this will help u to do a fresh start.
Step 6, Tun the phone off again and turn it on back on down load mode( vol down+home+power button)
Step 7, Start odin which you have used to root the phone in step 1 then connect the phone using the usb cable and odin will recognise your phone (yellow colour on the left hand corner of the odin page) Once this is seen on the pda choose the firmware you have downloaded ( carphone ware house oen from SAMWARE) And make sure only reboot and F.reset time and pda are checked,make sure nothig else checked in the odin. Then let it run, this will take few mins and the phone will reboot.
Hope fully this time u don't see any 3 welcome screen, turn it off and try using the 3 sim first, it should work then try any other sim, in my case that was orange it did worked fine including mobile data so you don't have to change the APN settings for each network provider.
Thanks for the xda develpers, android authority and samware for all their hard work in providing lots of information.
Any doubt let me know. Please do not do anything unless you are really comfortable with
Thx
Go to any of the supermarkets and buy a PAYG sim from another network,{around £1.00}, youi don't have to register the sim to see if your phone is unlocked.
{EDIT} I see you said your coming from a iphone.... So that means its a cut down sim {micro-sim} card.
Parhaps it is not seated in the correct position.
Just a thought..
My phone is doing the exact same thing, can anybody help?
Originally on three UK. Got unlocked in a shop. Orange sim card worked fine. Restored to factory defaults to erase phone. Orange sim card no longer works, but phone is showing as unlocked. Every other network sim card works fine.
Its bugging me, took it back to the shop where i got it unlocked and the man said he had never seen anything like it.
Any help would be great. Thanks
Please somebody i don`t know what to do more!!!
i have a rooted xperia x10 wich doesn`t log onto the network. my carrier is Orange. the sim card is a new one, cauze i changed it. i have full signal bars but when i enter settings/wireless/network/search network - it finds orange 2G and 3G but when i tap on it it says at first logging on Orange... but after 30 seconds or so, it says : ERROR cannot connect to the network. i would like to mention that the phone worked on this carrier.
Have u installed a rom or kernel on it at all?
Sent from my Xperia X10 using XDA
yes i`ve instaled Oddie`s miui rom and darkHD rom but to instal the miui rom i`ve used the locked bootloader way, that means my bootloader is loocked, now i`m on stock, that was put on using SEUS.
this morning i`ve successfully unlocked my bootloader and curently running MOOKE`s rom. but i still can`t connect to a network. sholud i take my phone to a service to do a sim unlock? can it be that the problem?
Take out sim card and insert again.
Do flash kernel and flash rom as follow OP instruction
Done ^_^. HOpe this help u.
Or
Install kernel and flash rom then insert Sim.
Problem solved
did a recovery through seus, then rooted with flashtool, then reinstaled flashtool and drivers, then did an bootloader unlock and voila, got signal and network connection, flashed MOOke`s rom, which has a very good batery life. thanks
good!
Hi
I believe that my phones radio capabilities may be disabled. I tried to root my phone but ended up flashing it with an ftf file and now i cant connect to my mobile network with my phone, Ive tried multiple simcards and flashing my phone a few times with different ftf files.
Everything else on my phone seems to be working fine except ability to connect to mobile network carrier.
I cant unlock the bootloader or use s1tools because it cant recognise the certificate or something like that, I can flash and root the phone though.
can i save my phone and how?
Hi
Today i flashed and rooted my unlocked xperia x10i with flashtool and the provided .ftf file, "X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf". Pretty much after that my phone had been reset and i couldn't connect to my mobile network.
During the initial setup after the flash, my phone asked me to "Please insert sim card and restart your phone", Now in the drop down bar is has a "No service, selecting network (yes optus) is unavailable). Originally with this phone and my x10a the other networks had a red circle indicating i couldn't access them however right now i can try to connect to all of them but fail. everytime i try to connect i get the message "Your simcard does not allow connection to this network". My APN list is blank but it has always been blank.
My simcard works in another phone, other simcards dont work in my phone. I tried flashing my phone again and rooting it again, with multiple ftf files. I was going to try installing another rom for jellybean, but i cant because my adb drivers are stuffed and ill figure that out later if need be.
I live in australia and the imei is fine, hasnt changed and im not even sure if that would effect the phone from functioning here. I have no idea is its affected the phones radio or frequencies if supposed to function on, help would be greatly appreciated.
I cant receive or make phone calls, texts messages, anything that relies upon me being connected to my carrier. everything else seems to work fine including my home internet. i also used that *#*#4636#*#* and that didnt really tell me anything i dont think.
Phone: Xperia x10i, unlocked
Running: android 2.3.3,
baseband version: 2.1.71
If you require any other information, ill post it up, not that sure what would be needed to figure this out.
