so I factory reset this phone for my hubby and put his virgin mobile sim in and it’s registered to virgin, as in it says virgin in top left of phone. But every ten mins or so a white screen comes up saying “Registering device on the network this may take a few mins” and the emergency call function is at bottom of screen. Well it never finishes registering and ends up counting down to retry. After it starts counting down you can skip but it will pop back up eventually and there’sa silent notification that’s in the drop down menu and it’s very annoying to my bf.
P.S. the firmware currently on the phone is one I put on via Odin as a dumb friend of mine tried putting firmware on it and it failed with the teal screen “there was an error while downloading please connect to Samsung switch recovery” and of course he didn’t write down the firmware codes before doing this, I couldn’t find a Canadian open file so I used one for the US from Sam firm.
if anyone knows how to get rid of the activation thing or has a link to Canadian firmware that would be amazing!! Thanks in advance. I’ve always come here for solutions but only posted once before I’m very grateful to everyone who takes the effort to help!
You can find firmware on many different websites. SamFW.com is the fastest free site that I know of

Alright guys I tried to search for this but basically I couldnt find the answer,
Anyway I might be buying an orange uk HTC mozart from *bay, and then I'll be getting it unlocked via IMEI code also from *bay.
My question is how will I go about de-branding it i.e. taking everything "orange" away from it and also how will I make sure the phone is up to date i.e. which rom will i have to flash?
Sorry for the noob-ness its just I'm coming from android so all this wp7 malarky is new to me!
Thanks!!
try to read some threads before posting new ones..I am sure you will answer all your questions that way.
Sorry to say I cant find anything that answers my question would appreciate if you could help me out.
I'm confused as to whether the mozart will ge the NoDo update on a non-orange carrier?
Thanks
To be honest you won't see much orange stuff on it! You can uninstall all the programs and after that its just the start up screen (which you'll rarely see as who turns off their phone) and I think one of the colours is called orange uk! But the above guy is right there are millions of posts on here about debranding your phone, I did it and went back to the original rom as the european rom doesnt seem to have english uk, only english american...
Thanks for the tips, but im unsure as to what you mean by the original rom?
Basically i dont know what version it will be until it arrives, but i want to make sure I can unlock it, debrand it and keep it up to date whilst being on t-mobile (which happen to share a 2G network with orange lol)
my advice is: get your hands to the phone first, buy an unlock code through some of the several sites providing it if the phone is locked to orange or another network. then pop your sim in, enter the unlock code you purchased and uninstall any orange apps if there are any installed on the phone.. plug your phone to zune and update it to pre-nodo, no-do depends on what version currently is. remember that you have to un-plug and plug again your phone to the pc for each update.. hope that helped..
I did the same thing, bought a Mozart from Ebay, Unlocked by buying a code from the internet and then debranded the phone by downgrading it and letting it update through Zune.
Still looking at getting one of these, but just reading issues about responsiveness on the latest roms i.e. screen response etc.
Is it an issue i should worry about?
BUMP
My mozart is coming tomorrow on Orange UK, and I will need to use it on t-mobile UK.
Please, please oh pretty please will someone help me unlock and debrand it?
Thanks
I bought a Mozart locked to Orange last week to use with an O2 sim card. All you need to do is get an unlock code using the IMEI no. (I used Unlocking.com, cost about £15), then get your phone on a wifi network and dwnload the HTC settings app from Marketplace, which will automatically configure your phone for web/MMS/texts etc. Then just delete the Orange apps by long pressing on them in the app list and assign the correct voicemail number.
Job done! Other than an Orange logo on start up, you won't know any different.
Got my mozart Yay!
HOWEVER
What the hell is with the banding?!?!?! Whenever the screen is any other color than black, there's banding!?!?
Banding? Oh dear - I think you might have a duff screen
No I think this is the issue

Oh, right. Turns out I have that too, but hadn't noticed until now! Supposedly it'll be fixed in Mango, and it's no big deal so I can wait until then.
Hi All,
First, I hope this is the right section & I hope I am not duplicating another thread. I have a odd situation I think and I don't know what to do. I picked up my Atrix 4G off of craigslist a few days back. The phone is great but it will not accept my ATT sim card. It asked to enter the unlock code for the sim. It's an ATT phone so I am not sure why my sim doesn't work (Same sim card works in unlocked Vibrant). So, I purchased the unlock codes from two separate places and the codes were the same and did not work when I enter them.
I am at a lost now. I don't know what to do.
Any ideas are appreciated?
Oh yeah, I am not sure what the previous did but before I even put my sim, I did use the bypass Motoblur method to use the phone with sim & blur. I did use aroot and glad enable also. After the sim would not work, I wiped data, created a blur account and tried sim again but no success.
Please help me, I want to use this awesome phone!
did you get this resolved? i am having the same issue
Nope. Still not fixed. I am not sure what to do at this point.
i have the same problem..maybe the case is that you entered the incorrect code more than 10 times?
Have you checked that the IMEI code printed under the battery matches the one displayed on screen?
I was under the impression that if you blow the 10 unlock attempts you will have to wait several hours to try again. In other words, it will not permanently lock.
I might be wrong though.

How many numbers do you have in your unlock code which you are entering into the phone?
Op,
You might have ruined something software wise, did you try flashing a full sbf version 4.1.8.3 preferably ?
I think it should work for you.
there are 8 digits in my unlock code and the imei is the same in the box, under the battery and in the phone
Same issue - No solution
I have same issue with Atrix bought on local craigslist. I have tried restoring to multiple stock versions.
AT&T spent two hours figuring out the issue and they tried even entering correct unlock code.
They asked me to contact motorola as they feel it is software issue. I will Motorola on Tuesday and post the result.
Hi I have the Exact same issue. The Atrix that i got off Craigslist were sealed. And I tried unlock code for Tmobile network off three different sites and still no luck in the locking the phone. So i went and i got Att sims and said the same thing "Sim Network Unlock Pin"
Anywho, I went to Att store and they couldn't figured out and they dont have a phone in stock to trade in. So after many attempt with Att and their customer service, they advise me to contact Motorola.
The funny thing is that i've sent the phone to Motorola two times and clearly stated my issue with the phone and they did not fix it and just send the phone back to me. So i got piss after wasting 350$ on a phone that i can't use and another 30 Bucks for shipping the phone to Motorola. I contact directly to their tech and the tech support ask me to call ATT. LOL right? So one of the tech just offer me a free shipping so they can take A CLOSER LOOK into it.
Apparently Motorola doesn't do phone exchange all they do is repair it. Any exchange would have to deal with ATT and for that to happen you would have to sign up a warranty plan with them which is $5/month.
So i got one last shot at this. and I'll keep you guys post on update. Sorry for my poor English.
So strange as they are unlocked, im using an AT&T atrix in Australia without issue.
Perhaps the phones have been banned somehow?
BUMP.. Anyone find a solution to this yet??
i leave my phone with the error message and the screen on, for at least 2 weeks and nothing!!
i hope no damage my phone with that time with the screen on
I have the same issue. From AT&T explained me that after 5th wrong attempt, the phone will be permanently locked to AT&T. Anybody has a solution for this?
I tried it alll tooooooooooo !!!
My phone was locked to orange network UK. I wanted to use a VIRGIN network Sim card... SO I called the VIRGIN Network technical support team... and this Silly girl keep on giving me few codes till ......IT STOPPED RESPONDING to any code.. so the phone now will not take any codes. I bought many codes in hope from websites..none worked.
I called ORANGE ..but they had no clue tooooo...
I unlocked the bootlooger thing too. I flashed it few times in hope....and I DID what ever I could do but in vain......
I hope we get some smart ass genius to get the break to this problem....!!!
Very similar issue here. I was in Costa Rica for a month and requested the SIM network unlock from ATT and they provided as it had been 6 months after my purchase. The code did not work in Costa Rica and only used WIFI while over there. I got back to the States yesterday and it still doesn't work, and by now have definitely attempted to enter the code 10 or more times. Its supposedly locked to ATT after 10 unsuccessful attempts but it will not work even with my original ATT SIM.
ATT sent me a new Atrix but I would like to get this one working as well. I have a few questions.
If I root is there any apps designed for root to unlock?
If not will a custom Rom bypass the need to unlock or be unlocked already?
If neither of these work is the phone basically bricked simply because the code (provided by ATT) was entered incorrectly 10 times?
THANKS!
i have the exact same issue the phone was from att but the seller say its unlocked for any company,not rooted , not unlocked, only upgrade via ota from froyo to gingerbread,i wish a solution for that,if anyone find a solution please post!! thanks
alberto
well I went ahead and rooted and unlocked. Going to flash a custom and see what happens. Ill keep you updated.
UPDATE: Tried CM7, Didnt fix. :/
I have exactly the same problem. I have tried unlock the boot loader. My phone already show unlocked on top left screen when power on.
Idk why It still ask for Sim network unlock code when I put my T-mobile Sim in and power up.
It seems hopeless to me after trying to search for someday.
I have tried many some rom.
Please anyone help us..
Thank you very much
FYI, Press #073887* on atrix will bring you to the screen which ask:
"Sim network unlock PIN:"
As the title states, I'm looking for a download link to the Nougat 7.0 software for my AT&T v520.. I've since left AT&T and no longer have their service but I do have Wifi enabled and it still shows nothing when i clicked search for an update..
thanks..
Use any active AT&T SIM - borrow from friends, or ask stores to do it for you, or buy a AT&T Go phone SIM (you don't have to refill or anything)
That will not work. I used my Go Phone Sim but it did not resolve the issue. So what I did is to call their technical support and provide them the IEMI number. Once they verified it, they simply pushed the Update on that IEMI and I got it instantly. What they said that the IEMI are listed in sequencial order, so even with an active AT&T sim, it may take weeks before receiving it. So calling their tech support is the best option to get it quickly. And make sure you ask the customer care to transfer it to Tech support immediately, otherwise they will try to convince you that 7.0 has not been released. I had to literally share their own product page link to them where it is mentioned that Nougat has been released for it.
Latest 7.0 rom is here http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...&uk=3594350791
That link doesn't work..
Please anyone i am in desperate need of some help! I have a SafeLink phone just a simple one. But it's been my phone for about a year already. I left my phone outside on my back porch for like 15 mins one day while I was inside feeding my baby and when I grabbed it again it wouldn't make any calls or texts or anything. Just a blank white hollow triangle on the top like I had no service. When I try to make a call it tells me cellular network unavailable. I rebooted my phone hoping it would make it work but it did not. Then some message appeared on my status bar it said SIM card not provisioned mm#2.
I have called multiple times to the company and I get put on hold for ever. In the end they tried telling me my phone should be working. It states that my phone number is in service and my sim card is provisioned. Usually I wind up frustrated and hanging up.
I tried calling my phone number and it would ring and eventually tell me the person you called has a voice mail box that has not been set up yet. When I had an answering machine. Then today when I called it gave me some crazy message about "welcome to Verizon wireless, the number you are calling has been changed, disconnected, or no longer in service" BUT MY SERVICE HAS NEVER BEEN THROUGH VERIZON. ALWAYS SAFELINK.
Today. I called them again and sat through 2 hours of being on hold and finally they asked for my account information and they told me it did not match the information they had on file for me. WTF?! They could not pull up anything with my phone number and my name. I am shocked and I don't know what could have happened. I do know that there is some one who stays here at my mom's house who lives in the back bedroom that happens to be a shady scandelous person and he is also pretty good with hacking etc on phones. He knows I know all the crap he does like steals people's info to get new phone service so he basically never has to pay a phone bill. He works Verizon wireless and always has a phone he never pays for. He also knows that when I buy the house from my mom in May I am subsequently going to be throwing his shady freeloading ass on the street. Is there any way that he could have done something to my phone service? What does this sound like to you guys. I feel like going back to his room and hitting him with a damn cast iron skillet. (But I won't)
But i am at my wit's end. My phone is my only means of communication and my husband works a lot so I am home most of the time with my 9 month old son and I need to be able to have a line of communication since my husband takes the only car to work.
Help!!!!!!!
Note also when they asked for my meid or imei they said it doesn't match the information they have on file for me... How is this possible?!?!
Hello All,
New to the forum here, and not nearly as advanced as some of the posters I have read, but I am fresh out of options and need some assistance. I will try to be brief but my tale is a bit long.
I purchased a phone from Samsung, but through a trade in program through AT&T. The phone arrived and I sold it to someone on eBay as unlocked, but turns out it was network locked so I had to accept the return. I got an unlock code from AT&T and it wouldn't work, and then somehow the phone was thrown into factory reset mode along the process.
I am now dealing with an "Unable to access web browser for Wi-Fi sign in due to an Unauthorized Factory Reset." This phone has never actually been logged into, and as far as I know is still network unlocked. I have tried clearing the cache (thrown crap at he wall at this point).
Any direction would be appreciated here. I am stuck with this brand new phone, which is essentially a paper weight.
Assuming you have tried another factory reset and it didn't work, the last thing you can try is either flash the firmware with odin or contact samsung.
> This phone has never actually been logged into
Maybe your buyer logged in and then didn't remove his account. That might cause some problems with factory reset attempt without account credentials (I'm not sure exactly what happens if you try to reset someone else's phone, but I know Google won't let you end up with a useful phone afterwards for theft protection reasons)
