Can this phone be forcibly network-unlocked? - Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers

Elephone P9000. The bane of my... week. Sitting there, smiling at me with its beautiful screen, totally unusable.
Wrong PIN - Please enter the Privacy Protection password to unlock.

The PIN from my SIM card, doesn't work. Also 1234, 0000, 8888, 123456, 000000, none work.
I removed SIM card and reboot. Still get the lock screen to enter PIN and error message "Wrong PIN - Please enter the Privacy Protection password to unlock".
Edit: wrong forum - sorry! Mods can you move it to the P9000 Q&A forum?
I managed to eventually get to the stage where I could flash it with a new ROM, so I've just done that (very pleased)...
... and still see the network lock when I start it up.
So where to next in the unlock saga?
I've tried the local phone repair shop, had no clue
I've tried flashing a different ROM, has no effect on network lock.
Vodafone, my carrier, seems to only unlock phones they've sold.
The dodgy online unlock sites don't even list Elephone as a manufacturer
Elephone themselves don't like to answer support questions.
The seller is unresponsive.
I've no idea what network it's locked to.
I don't know what to try next. Can this phone be forcibly network-unlocked somehow?

It looks like you set up anti gheft with another sim or without it. Just enter your anti theft password or flash rom and delete all data

New X10, no 'Data Traffic' button?!

Hi all, okay so I had an X10 mini and brought an X10 on ebay, swapped my sim over and immediatly wanted a few apps installed but when it came down to it, I actually have NO option for data traffic in my 'Mobile Networks' section of the phone, surely this isn't right? Anyone experienced the same thing or anyone know of a solution or resolution for this problem?

MMS and data!? This is internet connection! !! I don't really get your problem...
Have you run the "Auto internet settings" wizard?
I am unlocked and debranded but I do not get the option to set the auto Internet setting option
any clues?
Your apn settings could.be wrong
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
What network are you on? Data is enabled there, you probably don't have the APN for it is all.
Casianm, correct I didn't have the correct apn settings. Thanks all sorted now.

Are you also on the last update? 026? Some of the option were fixed in later updates.
I don't have any "APN" settings, and the "Auto Internet Settings" is not highlighted as is in the screen shot above. I'm on T-Mobile UK, and was wondering where I'd be able to obtain the "APN" settings, or for some kinda fix for this issue. Thanks

[Q] Constant popups with location - how to get rid of?

Hi,
I have a strange problem with my Xperia S: I have constantly popup windows opening, showing the location of (I guess) the nearest cell phone tower. I already tried to turn off all location settings, but the popup still appears, sometimes every 2 minutes.
I also did a firmware upgrade already, no success either. Does anyone have an idea where those popups are coming from???
i do have the same problem..........can someone help us out?
---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------
its really annoying,someone put ur thoughts and help us................
Goo to know that I am not the only one
Can you maybe post a list of apps that you have installed? Maybe an app is responsible for those annoying pop up messages?
Did you configure Mcafee in your phone ? Because mine shows them whem i try to locate the phone using mcafee site .
Nope, I de-installed the McAffee app as one of the first things actually...
I uninstalled McAfee and wisepilot also,went through each setting and menu.....could not find a solution

Cheers, will try tonight and report!
Is there maybe any Android app which can change those settings on the SIM / change the settings with the operator network?
No it's not working

Has anyone found a solution for this, its driving me insane, during my trip home in the car from work, I have to have the phone on silent to combat the constant updates!!
Did you check the solution with swapping SIM to older phone?
NO CHANGE
I tried putting my sim in an old S40 Nokia and disabled cell info display as well as deleted all info channels (including CH50), but still getting these Cell Broadcast messages. Looks like we all have to wait until ICS for things to improve.
I tried the sim swapping thing but it didn't work I'm still getting the pop ups is quite annoying
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
The new Cell Broadcast option in the latest 6.0.A.3.73 firmware should resolve the problem I think.

It's a bit of a dodgy fix but you could try this. It's worked for a few people.

Moto warranty -> sell -> buy a good phone(
I had exactly same problem with my Atrix.
Exactly means exactly same location and dimensions of nontouchable area.
I tried everithing, was thinking about touch replacement but finally realized 99% I will end up with nonworking device.
Solution (depends)
-go to Motorola site and check if your atrix is still under warranty.(mine was more than year old but still on warr.)
-fill out online form for repair/replacement.
-back up your data and erase from device.
-send your atrix to them (dont send wires, battery, backcover, sd card, sim and orig.box) dont warry about unlocked bootloader, custom rom, etc. - they dont care.
-receive a new atrix. this will be a new device not fixed yours.
with build # 4.5.141 with UNLOCKABLE butloader.
-You may try to call Att for sim unlock code but this is useless. Go to cellunlock.net and buy code ($19.99 with discount code).
-get rid of motoblur account activation -

-Sell this useless junk on ebay
-Buy real phone (nexus, s3, note ?)

Elm agent

I tried to Google this and couldn't find what it is. Just wondering what it is and what it does? Thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
From google'ing the ELM Agent on the internet I haven't been able to find something specific within a short period of time, but I have found references to mail servers.
So I would think this is your answer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44716164&postcount=7
It has to do with the activation agreement of some enterprise service email account you add to the phone. Then logging of that email account's actions. Haha thats a rough guess based on just looking through the apps intents etc.
Stumbled upon this thread during my search to find out what ELM Agent is.
Found this - ELM Agent - Emulated Legacy Mount for multi-user support
And yes, I know this thread is old.
would it be ok to freeze/delete?
I did and I don't see any side affects.

Coincidentally found this thread today after having these messages on my phone and freezing ELM Agent also.

Elm Agent ,tracker, collects all your data , mail, GPS,msg, phone calls, voice mails,etc.
Someone put it there , does your phone get hot, battery drain faster, 5 to 10 second delay or locking up when you make calls, light up by itself?

Wrong PIN - Please enter the Privacy Protection password to unlock

My new P9000 seemed to be working fine until I put in the SIM card, at which point I got this "Wrong PIN - Please enter the Privacy Protection password to unlock".
This is an indication that it's network locked, right?
What do I need to do to be able to use this phone? I'm a complete noob when it comes to flashing phones, ROMs, etc. Are there any fairly basic step by step instructions I can follow?
It seems you set up anti theft without your sim in it. Just enter your anti theft password or flash rom, deleting all data

Hey, thanks for the reply. I flashed the ROM, that didn't work.
The device arrived set up this way. Although the box was also open, so who knows what else they'd done.
You can also try 000000 as code.

Thank you
Hello, THANK YOU.
I created this account just to thank you for the #mima#.
I could have wasted a lot of time reinstalling the Android, but instead I wrote #mima# from my brothers device and received the anti-theft PIN on his device.
:good::good::good:
Thanks a lot!!!!
For no reason my wife's phone suddenly lock and asked for the Privacy Protection pin. Thank you so much for posting the solution. You saved a tone of time and made my wife happy again. The phone is unlocked.
