Sorry the nobbness of my question, but i really cant get it...
I have the x10 mini phone, i have rooted it with Exploid method (by the way, i still can get the list command to work, and neither uninstall aplication, if you want to help me with that too), im from Chile, and have an Entel pcs "account".
When i conect the phone to pc companion, it says that my phone is allredy upgraded, but it is still version 1.6..
Does it has something to do with me, being in another country, with another mobile company? Or is there a method to upgrade the phone that isnt pc companions one?
Anyway, ill apriciate a lot if yuo guys can help me...
...so thanks!
You need to debrand to a generic rom (Generic UK works for the X10mini) - if you bought your phone from an operator then it'll have a customised version of the rom - Operators will take a while (or never!) to update and release their customised versions of an update. Using the generic rom bypasses this, and you get the software directly from SE without any of the additional operator bloat

First root the locked device with CF Root using Odin (see my signature item 1) than unlock the phone with Voodoo Sim unlock tool in Playstore, after it is unlocked flash this fix with cwm recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802951.
-Edit- It seems voodoo Sim unlock tool is temporarily removed from Playstore, keep an eye on it though, it will be back because it is beeing updated for newer firmwares.
For now call your provider and ask for the sim unlocking key.
You can also unlock your phone here http://www.sammobile.com/unlock/index.php?phone=I9300 , it costs 15 euro (creditcard or paypal) and you need to be rooted before the unlock.
Hi Guys,
I yesterday updated my LUMIA 800 to 7.8 via Nuviflash Latest Release and as the title suggests it is blocked again saying "This SIM Card can only perform on certain networks and bla bla bla...". Before that I did TP unlock my device and was told that It wont be blocked again. It is now blocked again, I restored the previous ROM as well but no luck. Any suggestions on that other than again going trough the entire TP Unlock.
Thanks.
Poor U, me too. It's because you're using a network locked phone not world version.
If you know your phone is belong what network provider (AT&T, T-Mobile, ...) you can buy a unlock code to unlock your phone in to world version and use it

I have the same problem with my lumia. I updated to 7.8 and the phone relocked. it was bought through the web and was regularly unlocked from SFR before but now they don't want to send me the code. Could you guide me to any solution please ? where can I buy a working unlock code ?
Thanks in advance.
oh god
Oh god i have the same problem!
I didn't even knew my phone was locked... I bought it from some guy, with DLOAD bootloader, and unlocked and the guy told me it was world wide version.
So because of the DLOAD i belived him.
Now after updating to 7.8 it locked !
Guys, what can i do, can i go to nokia service center and pay for unlocking for example ?!
I don't know from where is my phone actually, i bought it with HK software on it, so i presume it's somewhere in HK...
I'm open to any ideas, because i dont have another phone and i'm dead :crying:
Edit: I tryed to track it a bit with the IMEI, so it starts with 3516820 which leads me to Telia - Sweden ... And they want 75$ for the code, this is madness !

Hi,
The TP unlock is patch-unlock. So, if you will flash to stock ROM phone will be locked again...
Now you need to unlock again via TP unlock obviously!

Hi,
Boot-loader could be changed with ATF Box via TP. It can change boot-loader to DLOAD/QUALCOMM.
So, you probaly had an unlocked phone by ATF Box and after they changed boot-loader OSBL DLOAD
also, just to make you think its pre-unlocked. Better to buy 75$ codes - get it unlock by ATF Box with TP.

thank you!

Thanks for your answer!
Now i have another question- if i get my phone tp unlocked again. And microsoft release another official update and i update but trough Zune and not nokia care will it lock again?
Thank you!
Hi guys,
I'm thinking of flashing 7.8 on my DLOAD Lumia 800 and this kinda worried me.
My phone was locked to Vodafone Spain, but the previous owner got it sim-unlocked (in June 2012) before selling it to me. I don't know what method they used but I should be fine because the TP/ATF method you're talking about is relatively new, right ?
Otherwise, is there a way to tell which type of unlock I have before updating to 7.8 ?

Which is strange, because mine was bought in july so it couldn't be unlocked trough TP, maybe the guy bought a unlocking key.
But since i can't connect to the guy again i'll have to spend 25 Eu every time when microsoft releases an update for TP unlocking. I better sell my Lumia when i unlock it... :crying:

Hi,
Ask provider before buying codes, that if it will lock again if I flash
my phone. If they say - it will, then ask if I could use the same code
to re-activate my phone or not.
Hope this helps.

Can you tell me something about stock ROM ? I mean even if I update my device via zune (official update) it would lock again ?
Update
Hi,
If you update with Zune the mobile will not be lock. I did it las time with mine and didn't get lock. Also if you update using the file .xap neither will get lock the mobile.
Mobile get lock only when you update it by Flashing a room.
Anyway after you flash your mobile it can be unlocked with the unlock code you used last time if you still have it.

No if it was done properly.
I would also try to find out what they installed on the phone because if they rooted it like you said they could have installed anything on your phone (don't want to scare you) the Chinese app is probably nothing to worry about but just be careful rooting your device gives access to everything on your phone.
