Hi everyone,
I recently got a kaiser phone and tried to unlock it.. I'm not sure if it worked.. but then I tried putting a regular at&t sim card and it doesn't get any signal.. What do I do.. I did install the new rom for it.. Maybe I should restore it to the orgininal rom that came with it.. (anyone has the old rom that comes with the phone when it comes) I can try to call and see if they can send me another one.. Or what should i do. I put at&t and get no signal.. It keeps telling me search for network.. HHHHHHHHHHHHELLLP. I paid 420 dollars for the phone and I really don't want it down the drain.. I will donate to anyone that helps me fix. it.
Please specify everything better. I cant really tell what version you have what you installed and what exactly happened .

Have you set the phone (under settings>phone>band) to Auto sellect the phone band? If not it may be trying the European frequencies.
Just set the bands to auto and then select GSM and then it sould be fixed, if thats the case .
Hello everybody, I'm writing you from UK, where I bought a second-hand G1 (absolutely perfect!!! really good). The phone is T-Mobile branded and factory-default cleaned. Once I got it, placed my italian H3G sim inside, and (of course...) it told me that it was locked. I purchased a key (...I know may I could do without it... but very few time to spend, these days) and it was succesfully sim-free. Then I reebot it, and start the acrivation... that doesn' run!!! I insered the correct APN parameters, I also tried with a UK O2 and Vodafone sim, but, problem is that the gsm segnal level (small icon on the top with 4 vertical bars) is not giving signs of life, and it has a small "cross" on the left side. Of course I can't get the registration... I can't get the line!!!! why does it happen??? all the sims are correctly recognized (ask for the pin and the "no sim" messages and icons are off), but no way to go over...
Please, help me in any way, just 1 more day here, then I'll go back to Italy... far from the shop!!!! HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!
If you type:
reboot
and press enter. If the phone reboots you can have a chance, if the phone does not it means its on a updated version which you will have to downgrade. While downgrading i recommend going up to Rooted versions of android. Although you might not need it.
You should look here:

You can get through your problem, if its just the registration. by simply following a few of the instructions in the first link combined with some of the instructions in the second link.
@elmejor: He didn't even mention rooting. His problem is he can't get his phone to associate with the networks on his sim.
@tony_m78: You should probably post what apn settings you are using. Also, this is NOT A DEVELOPMENT ISSUE and should not have been posted in this forum.
thanks gor your answer.... I have been to those links THOUSANDS of times, within yesterday night and today... but I really can't get a solution. I can't go over the "error connecting to server" page :-(
The worst problem is that I really don't have time NOW, but I'll have it at the end of the week; I know I'd get a solution, working on that... but really I can't. But whay do you think about the absence of segnal? is it normal?!?
Tomorrow morning I'll find the way to buy a T-Mobile original sim and try to see what happen. . . . . . but that's strange!!!!!!!! not normal... i insered a correct code (generated from the IMEI), the answer was "unlocked", free for others carriers.... BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!! :-( tic tac tic tac. . . ..I don't have time!!!!!!!! :-( nobody experience this strange problem?!?

...I don't think the problem is the APN, I set the correct one (from Wiki) for H3G Ita and for O2 UK (these are the sim I tried with); the problem is that the segnal is ZERO, like the sim is not present... BUT IT IS, it ask me for the pin and accept it....
Can you manually select the network to connect to? Settings>Wireless controls>Mobile networks>Operator selection
Are you sure radio is working on this phone? Maybe it has some physical problems (like bad gsm chip)... Or - maybe you have sim cards not acceptable in UK.
Try with T-mobile sim first. If not working:
I would try to factory reset device some times, if it don't help I would try to reflashing it (firmware and radio). But in your case I think you should ask about this situation in shop where you bought it (if you have warraty) first.
Data plan?
I had a similar problem when I got my APD1 phone in the US. When I returned to the UK, I put in my Tesco SIM and the phone signal strength icon had an 'x' indicating not connected or no signal. Eventually I used my home wifi to activate the phone. After the phone was activated, the same SIM was able to connect and the signal strength icon worked normally.
BUT, it turned out that all I probably needed to do was to have a SIM with a data plan (which mine didn't at the time) <<BLUSH>>
Have you confirmed that your SIM has data turned on?
Of course ensuring that the APN settings are correct is also necessary. (But it sounds like you did that)
I just bought this new phone 14days ago. I got my number transferred from a prepaid to a new simcard. Everything was good until they actually ported my number to the new simcard. After that i have NO internet at all.
I have a 3G icon and can call/sms but as i try open the browser it says. The page cannot be find. Also when i turn my phone off and on it says after i dialed my pincode: Error cant apply settings to modem.
My provider is T-mobile here from the netherlands, they had some interference at the beginning at the week, but i spoke with them today and they can see everything should work. I tried to make a new APN with the guidance from T-mobile but it dosent help. Also rebooted it 4 times from fabric settings, still nothing.
Can say that i havent done anything with the phone, its not hacked/rooted or whatever. Basically in same shape as when i bought it.
I read another tread that also descripes the problem i have but these phones are rooted, and didnt really get any solution out of it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-995363.html
Dont know if its any help, but i can connect to the internet with my WIFI connection at home.
Does anyone have ANY idea to what i can do?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe also nessasary to mention i DID put my SIM in another device. Still same outcome. NO internet still
Well if you haven't got data on the other phone either then I am pretty sure its a sim/provider issue and has got nothing to do with your phone at all

Yea you would think that, they told me in the store today that was not the case. Funny thing is i tryed to switch it again into another devince, and still nothing. However, as I went into the store i got a new simcard that didnt fix the prob. Suspecting some internal flaw?
Anyway, gonna call LG and use my vip change possibility so we'll see if its the device itself or not.
T-mobile offcourse claims that its a software prob, as this often happens on first batch phones
Hello guys.
So as the title says i have a problem with my samsung galaxy s. It works to SMS and call, but i can't check my email or even go on the internet. I have already checked the settings for internet as my operative tells me to have. So i buyed the phone from a random guy and it worked for the last 1 week but now sudden it is like this. My brother tells me that it could have something with the imei-number. He says that the guy probably fooled me and have register the imei number as blacklisted. But then i wonder why can i still SMS and call?
So my question is :
What could be wrong cant i go on the internet and check my email while i can SMS and call?
What can i do if the guy fooled me? Is it any way to solve the imei-number problem if the satilite have blacklisted it?
Please i really need help with this i feel really fooled
Any help is appreciated and sorry for my bad english.
Kind Regards
Arrish
are you sure your internet and email settings are correct?
You might need to re input/input the APN's for your service provider. Go Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names and press menu to add an APN. If there are no APN's there already then it's the problem and if there are some there they may be wrong. You'll have to google the settings for your provider. Sorry if I got some of the menu names wrong
Thanks for the answer guys.
I have re-inputed the APN for my provider and i have checked my settings and it still don't work.
Kind Regards
Now i discovered another problem. When i choose GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) i cant call or SMS either. But with GSM only it works. I dont understand what the problem is. 3G doesn't work either.
What rom is on your phone?
Go to Settings>About phone and tell us the Build number.
Have you factory reset the phone since you've purchased it?
Thanks for the answer.
The build number: Darky's v9.5.XWJS8
and no i havent factory reset it.
Can someone help me please?
Please could anyone help me? I cant even SMS , Call or go on the internet. I think the guy who sold it to me has blocked it. To get money from his insuarance. If its blocked like satilite blocked or something is it possible to hack it and open it?
Kind regards.
EDIT: check your IMEI number (*#06#) matches the number on the box or the phone (under the battery)
ok ok well before we start accusing this 'guy' of fooling you, lets get you back to stock.
you are running a custom rom which could be causing these issues.
get yourself a firmware, with all 3 files, add a 512 pit, tick the re-partition box and let the phone do its thing.
then report back
Friend had exactly the same problem with their new SGS II. Factory reset sorted it out immediately.
Good luck with it
are you using the right modem for your region?? I was using one that worked in my home town but went to another city an hour away and my phoned died....apparently they use different tower frequencies in different locations where i'm from. Just make sure your using the right modem for your location.
So i checked the imei number on the phone and it matched the number under the battery. But i dont understand this " get yourself a firmware, with all 3 files, add a 512 pit, tick the re-partition box and let the phone do its thing. " I dont understand what you mean sorry , could you explain better thanks.
I will try to factory reset it now.
help please i cant do anythang
Hi guys, noob here, but not so noob on android OS
I was trying to unlock my verizon droid 3. And when I´d inserted a sim from another carrier, it just says "subsidy lock, call provider".
How can I make the phone ask for the unlock code?
I read somewhere that this message appears when you tried too many codes, but havent tried anything. I read that this problem was solved on other moto phones by leaving the phone idle at subsidy lock screen for 4-5hs and the phone will ask again for unlock code, but thats not the case
Anyone experienced this problem?
call verizon tell them your going our of country on a business trip and you have a european SIM already that you would like to use, but you need to unlock your phone. viola
Im already outside US. Problem is phone dont ask for unlock code.
Alltel or Verizon Wireless do not use any type of subsidy locks on their CDMA phones. Default Code:000000 or 123456 or 654321
that is what i found by looking up the subsidy lock error you described. tell me what happens when you input one of these. im still doing more research for you
Hi, it just says "subsidy locked" and a discard dialog box, there is no box to enter any number
Phone is dual cdma/ gsm 3g, Im trying to unlock the sim part.
I´d read this forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812 but Im missing the enter code dialog box
the fact that their is no dialog box is weird to me. can you press the menu key? does anything pop up? i googled this but did not find anything. ima check some other sites. do you have an account with verizon?
Yes, phone was working on verizon till the day I leave my city.
The only option when I put a foreign sim card... it´s just the subsidy lock legend and if I hit the discard dialog box, phone goes to android home menu. But obviously with no gsm signal.
I can do everything, flash, root, everything. The only thin I cant do, it´s downgrade, phone was updated to last verizon 2.3.4 OTA when was connected to verizon network, and as other thread says, it´s no downgradeable atm. Im thinking that verizon could have put some newer simlock protection to latest updates...
since subsidy lock is simply by the carrier you can contact verizon and they can tell you what to do. if you dont have anyway to call the usa, you should email them.
Well... more news. Contacted verizon tech service and they teach me how to get to the unlock screen. But for the code I have to wait almost 6 more months.. lmao

At least I can try any code now
sorry you have to wait. i should have said there is a certain wait period for each person [i think 10 months] before their eligible for an unlock code. butttt you can always get one online. glad your initial problem was solved though
Yep, thanks for helping. Maybe Ill try some online code but I think they wont work
If anyone is experiencing the same problem, the only way to get the unlock code input screen is setting to only gsm mode and then turn on/off airplane mode a couple of times and magically unlock dialog box will appear.
there is one that works. ima go find which forum i found it in and post back tonight. probably within the hour. well i cant personally garuntee it works but it had good reviews from xda memebers
That would be nice In case you dont want to post link here, just send me a pm
I have to do some things for the rest of the night and its too much too look up on my phone. If I don't get on again tonight I always check xda whe n I wake up so ill have it first thing tomorrow morning at the latest
Sent from ICS Droid3 using xda premium
Maybe share what you did to get the unlock code dialogue to open. Save others the time of having to call Verizon themselves, since you already did that
Why do you have to wait six months? Was your line on Verizon too new to get an unlock code?
Droid 3 with stock xt862 ROM working on T-Mobile via xt883 radio.img & custom build.prop
Yep, first rule on a forum: dont say it works, say how you make it work
Its a couple of post above, set only gsm mode, turn on off airplane mode a couple of times, and unlock dialog will appear.
I'd unlocked other phone some time ago on verizon and for the next one, I have to wait half a year
Anyway Im not coming back to states anytime soon, so I'll have to throw it through a window
Btw fisrt ebay code didnt worked.
My bad, didn't see this whole second page when I was on mobile lol. Second rule on a forum: read all posts! Good luck.
ebay switftunlock freedomobile and unlock_fusion
whichever you choose and they can send you and unlock code. these are based on reviews from this forum
Thanks, I´ll try one of them
