Sorry, I posted this in the wrong forum before (I thought the XDA11i was a himalaya duh!
My apologies if this a bit longwinded.
I was recently given an O2 XDA11i.
It was totally screwed and had a battery problem.
With a new battery in it, it still didn't function so, with nothing to lose, I downloaded the O2 rom upgrade program V111171.exe. (rom version 1.11.171WWE)
I ran it and was, I'm pleased to say rewarded with what appeared to be a fully working unit.
Except that is as for the phone/gprs/gsm side of the thing.
I put a new O2 payg simcard in but although the phone acknowledges there is a card in it does not find a network.
I ran the unlock v1.6_138.exe from the root directory and (as most people seem to have got) was told that the phone was now unlocked and also that there was a problem.
I have tried the phone with two O2 sims (both of which work in my older xda11) and two Orange sims but the phone still does not find a network.
The signal here is fine so I haven't got a problem there.
The unlock log is as follows
xdadev_all_unlock started

If I select the network selection to manual it tries to search for a network and then gives a message "Unable to read setting from the network. Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again"
The top display bar shows the "!" mark and says there's no network.
Neither a cold or warm reset makes any difference.
Has anybody got any idea what the problem may be
Thanks very much in advance
For what it's worth i had no luck unlocking my Alpine with the latest version of the tool, i had to use the older version, and this was successful.
Download the earlier version here
Whether it has any effect on your problem i don't know but it may be worth a shot.

Hi guys! I just bought a used xperia z and it is updated to 244 version. I want to get rid of the carrier lock because I have no idea what carrier it is, and when putting my sim in the phone it just tells me "emergency calls only".
So, I have read about rooting and unlocking bootloader etc. What I have not figured out is witch of these actually unlocks the sim
I have no warranty so I don't care at all about that. Is it a good idea to root and unlock?
The problem is that when entering service menu and looking at SIM lock its like this:
[] Network 0
[] Network subset 0
[] Service provider 0
[] Corporate 0
[] SIM 0
Am i screwed or is it possible anyway?
I also got stuck at flashtool because my windows8 64bit has issues with usb drivers. I think I need a windows7 32 system to do it right?
PS. I can also buy the unlock code but if I read correctly because it now says 0 tries left that is no longer an option!?
My handset is SIM unlocked and the SIM lock section looks exactly like yours.
Perhaps try another SIM in the phone.
FYI, neither rooting or unlocking the bootloader affect the status of the SIM lock in any way.

I have tried 2 different SIM cards from different carriers. So what is the suggestion to do now? If neither rooting or unlocking bootloader will do the magic?
Hm, the guys over at htccode say they can unlock for 50dollars even though it says 0 tries left. Does it sound legit?

i believe that your phone is network blocked.
that phone will never get network whatever simcard you use. it will only work if the imei is changed(its impossible), or use the phone in another country(it will not be network blocked in that country).
edit: and probably the phone is allready sim unlocked!
Yeah that is what I believe to. Seems it is stolen so its blocked. Trying to get money back from the guy, otherwise I will sell it to someone outside sweden Thanks
Hey everyone.
I am having a real problem with my Sony Xperia T. I have searched forums and google to find a solution and nothing. Also this website is probably best when it comes to sorting out android problems. My Sony Xperia T (I think) is now hard locked. O2 (UK) sent me an unlock code which did not work and now I get the following within the service info > sim lock:
[X] network 0
[] network subnet 0
[] Service Provider 0
[] Corporate 0
[] SIM 0
I think this status means its still locked and I cant use an unlock code anymore.
Also I can't unlock the bootloader because I get the following:
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed = No
If anyone could help I'd appreciate it even if someone can point me in the right direction
Thanks again,
Regards David
Normally the phone gives you 10 attempts. Did you use all 10? Looks like you may be stuck.
Also, not surprised about the Bootloader unlock allowed = no. A lot of our phones (that came from a carrier) have this status and there is currently no way to make the bootloader unlockable.
It first came up as only 5 attempts and trusting the code I've used them all up.
Yeah I agree a lot of Sony Xperia's have the bootloader set to 'no' currently haven't a clue what to do

I wonder....if the 5 attempts were used by you on that code they provided (and it is certain that you were typing the code correctly), could the carrier be persuaded to replace or repair the unit for you?

That's the next step.
I'm hoping they replace the handset or at least fix it and I'm 100% i typed the right code in. I will keep this thread updated because I've seen a lot of Xperia's being hard locked and no solution!
Hi guys,
First poster here.
I recently sold what I thought was an unlocked Sony Xperia Z, it turns out it wasnt.
I contacted Three, and submitted the IMEI number to get the unlock code for the buyer but by the time I had sent it to him (within 24 hours of him receiving the handset), he had put in the wrong code too many times when trying to get his O2 sim to work with it.
I believe there is an unlock[x] network [0] error, where the 0 I have read represents the number of tries left.
He has tried factory resetting it, and hard resetting it (however I dont know if this is true as I have never met him in person and cant oversee the process) and says the number remains the same.
Is there any way of resetting this number?
Cheers guys!
Unfortunately, there's no official way of resetting the number of attempts. The only thing that may possibly work is if you have a backup of the TA partition that you made before he entered the wrong code. Restoring it may reset the attempts. If you haven't, then the phone is now permanently network locked to Three. There's no way around this as the network lock status is stored in a protected area which cannot be edited (the TA partition).
In my opinion, the buyer should have to live with what they did. It was very, very foolish of him to repeatedly input the wrong unlock code and it has rendered the phone less valuable because of his mistake.

I have sony experia z with network unlock attempts left 0, is there any solution to reset counter or anything else? Kindly let me know if anyone got any solution.
Best regards
Hey, as far as I know you've hardlocked your network. That means you can't reset counter and you don't have any other tries left. I haven't found anything to make it work anyway myself, so I'm just telling you what I do know at the moment.
Maybe ring the network for the PUK code to reset
I have recently managed to install resurrection remix 5.0.2 on my Xperia SP and it works very well except for one major thing, sim card.
When I start my phone I will get a prompt to insert my pin. Nothing wrong here, if I insert incorrect pin I cannot unlock my sim card so it's detected correctly.
After that I will get another prompt to insert a pin, this time it's a little different and the problem with it is it doesn't work. If I input the same pin as I did before it will say "Request for unlocking network wasn't successful" so I can only cancel out of that which will leave my sim card locked.
When I tried to look into settingsI found that "Lock sim card" option was not checked and if I check it, it will ask my to enter my pin which again doesn't work.
I tried setenforce 0 in emulated terminal which did nothing.
Also I looked on internet for this problem with no solution I only remember reading about some script which maybe fixes this issue but I don't know where I saw it or if it actually works.

The script was necessary years ago for a similar problem. Rr502 doesn't need it.
This problem sounds so strange, defectuve hardware could be to blame.
1. Please test your sim in another mobile phone.
If it doesn't work in there too, get a replacement sim from your operator.
2. Start from scratch. Go back to stock rom, test your sim. If it doesn't work then, you have to replace your mainboard. (Get one with unlockable bootloader!)
3. If all your hardware is fine, do ALL stock updates. 207 was the last one as far as I remember. Then, install rr502 again. It should work now.

Thanks for replying. I think I know what the problem is now. My theory is because I installed carrier locked firmware (there were only 2 for my country both carrier locked I guess), my phone locked my network and I had no idea that could happen. So of course I typed in bunch of random codes and wasted all my tries, also had no idea that could happen. That's why I thought It was ROMs fault but it seems that I flashed incorrect firmware and now it's too late. If I go to service menu a go to sim info everything is ok except sim network. And there are 0 tries left. Well now I have different firmware that should work fine with every sim card but phone is locked and the only thing that I learned is if I want to unlock that network it will cost a lot of money. I don't know if there is any other way to unlock it but yeah, it seems that now I'm stuck.

In this case, you definitely need a new mainboard.
There is no hack, no trick, no whatever. New mainboard!
