Hey.
I have a GT-5500 with CM7 and Android 2.3.7 - this phone is from germany and has the I5500XWJP4 baseband. As of now I am in canada an I bought a local SIM-card from PC (presidents choice) - when i put it in the phone it wont connect to the service, but if I use my o2-SIM-card from germany I do have service an I am able to call and write SMS.
In germany the phone hat no SIM-lock, so I could use SIM-cards from any provider.
So my question is how to get the canadian SIM-card working?
I think there must be some kind of county-lock otherwise it should work? Do I get sth wrong?
sincerely

Hi, I have a problem to unlock my brand new htc hd2 bought at telenor Serbia. I tried few unlocker sites but till now they do not have any solution. Any Idea?
Thank you in advance
You can unlock it by cable , riffbox can do it , try at local store .
Hi, I bought the EU model Galaxy S 2 off E-Bay that is already rooted and unlocked via software. I read online that the social hub uses the sim card to verify the location of the phone when adding IM accounts (not sure why but it does). My sim card is a US T-Mobile sim card. Whenever I try adding my windows live messenger account through the social hub, it says error occurred. I read that this happens because of the sim card not being EU.
So my questions are:
A) Would a custom ROM fix this problem?
B) Where in the source code can I find the application and modify it, if that is a viable option to solving my problem?
I also spoke to a T-Mobile rep about the 3G not working and he said it was because it was a EU phone. Anyone know if there is a workaround to get this phone on T-Mobile's 3G/4G instead of EDGE?
I appreciate the help.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the reason I even want to add windows live to this phone is because I want to take the contacts out of my wp7 and import them to this phone. Only way to do this is through cloud though.
EDIT2: Some more info that might help

Hello XDA members,
I have a big problem with my SGS2!
If i try to run my SGS2 with my SIM (Telekom) then i do not have reception,
but if iam nearly 800meters in front of a send masts, I've got reception. Oô
If i took my old MobilePhone (Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10) i works fine, I took any other Mobilephones/Smartphones it works fine.
If i try to use SIM-cards from other Providers in my SGS2 like Vodafone, O2, Alditalk, it works fine. (But WHY not with MY SIM???)
So i tried to do a Firmware Update on Android 4.0.3, Hydrogen Kernel and new Baseband Versions, NOTHINK Works :/
After this I go to Telekom (i've not buyed there my SGS2, i've bought it from a friend, but he can use it normaly) and described the same,
so I've got 6 different versions of a SIM - Card, like 1,8V and 3,3V variants, NOTHING works! -.-
After this, i tried to ROOT my MobilePhone, but any attempt be unsuccessful.
Nowadays I tryed the Special "Telekom" Android Version (2.3.6) of the SGS2, unsuccessful.
Does any of you might have an idea what I could do?
I hope you have some ideas!
best regards

[PS: Sorry for my baad English!!!! ]
Hmm.. probably not the best option, but... change your operator but maintain the same number ?
If other sim cards work then there should be the problem with the Telekom one!

One wrong modem/baseband change it .
Two network settings not entered correctly .

Damaged Sim ask for replacement sim .
So i tried to do a Firmware Update on Android 4.0.3, Hydrogen Kernel and new Baseband Versions,
WHY ???
Does any of you might have an idea what I could do?
Sell it or read the faqs and guides posted here and flash a stock rom .
Add to that phone needs a service repair .

first of all, check your EFS. It might crashed before u do anything else as its a possible root of problem. Dial *#06# and does it show your IMEI? Then go to settings and about phone, does it show what baseband you are on? If no imei or baseband unknown, your EFS is broken.
After checking the EFS issue, then u may proceed on thinking bout other solutions to it. Just confirm it first

you are on wrong forums mate.
This is Xperia X10 forums.We dont have any minicm9 rom.
As for your problem I think you had sim pin before on simcard. you need to disable it first in GB rom or othre phone and use it on minicm9

No, it wont work until you flash it to a provider in your country. Sense the phone was activated in another country, your not going to be able to use networking because the provider is out of range. Also if you get signal, and the provider from the phone's country has retail stores in your country, then the networks in your country could be blocking your phone from receiving networking, sense its using a different area code, ip,etc.
You best bet is going to your local service provider and getting the for unlocked or flashed to that service. They will give you a new SIM card and everything should work awesome

You have to root your phone first using SRS Root application, then install an application from Play Store that called HiAPN Global, use that to set your default APN settings, about "Unknown Type Card" just rename your sim card to a desired carrier.
