Kaiser unlocked or not?! HELP ME! - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi, I
’ve had a Orange HTC Kaiser for ages (WM6), I got it unlocked by www.imei-check.co.uk and put my O2 sim in and everything worked fine until the phone crashed. Now if I put my O2 sim in the phone just says ‘The SIM card is missing’. I have tried everything I’ve put new rom’s on (I'm now on WM6.1), new radio, asked it nicely and I’ve run the unlocking software I found on this site and that told me the phone as unlocked??! Whatever I try the damn thing WON’T WORK!!!!! I’ve tried everything! Any help much appreciated! Oh and If I put an Orange sim card in the phone works.
Cheers
Crooky.

did you put your O2 sim into another phone to see if it works?

Yes, it's currently in a HTC M3100 working fine.

its probably just a contact problem, just try cleaning the sim, and the contact points on the kaiser or putting a piece of paper behind the sim and insert it

UNBELIVABLE! I can’t tell you how much work I’ve put into sorting this phone and when I read you’re reply I must admit I thought ‘Yeah Right!’ but I looked at the sim and it is slightly curved when it’s out of the phone, I put it in an held the sim on the contacts and it bloody worked!!!!!!! You’re a genius! Thanks for your help!

How to unlock my O2 IIi ?

my phone seems locked, i tried to use vodafone SIM card, but my phone does not working.
anyone got idea?
did you http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php ?
unlocking prog
here you go mate, worked on my xda11i, unzip, use sync to put it in your fne and run from there, orange and t mobile worked for me, the 3 network did not but i think they too expensive anyway for what you get
Thanks a lot!
hi, i just tried, buy it said an error occured while unlocking your phone. see xdadev-all-unlock.log file for details.
turned off the flight mode, it works, thanks.
I have to use xdadev_all_unlock-v1.6_138.exe but after having to place on my xdaì O2 it asks me a code , for my sim O2 help me
Sorry to regurgitate an old thread but I am having a problem unlocking my xda, I have to to turn off flight mode but my O2 sim has expired, so I cannot turn off flight mode, any ideas of how to get around this, or will I have to find an O2 sim to put in my phone?
I think you may well have to find any old O2 sim to just bung in. When I unlocked my XDA, I had my sim in the device (I did it literally a week after I got it), and it ran through its algorithms and cracked the software running on the unit to unlock it Never tried it without a SIM in, but I'd imagine it wouldn't work as the protection layer wouldn't be loaded...
Mark, if you havn't gotten around to fixing it yet, try buying an O2 PAYG sim for a tenner, any O2 shop in London should have one.

o2 sim not seen?

Hi all,
I bought an Alpine, brand new (unwanted contract upgrade) from eBay, received it today and put in the PayG o2 sim that I bought from carphone warehouse. The phone is locked to o2, as I tried my old virgin sim and got the old "Enter unlock code", but with the PayG sim, it goes straight in, except there is an exclamation mark next to the signal indicator. I can't figure out what it is. Do I have to wait, say 24 hours for the sim to receive a signal? Or is it something more suspect? I can't make calls or do anything that requires payment from the sim.
Cheers,
Karl
EDIT: I have googled, and done a hard reset. I have come across that problem of not being able to select "Prepaid" for the simcard. I'm even using an o2 sim card! Is there something else I need to do? I've seen the settings for gprs and mms, but I just need to get it so I can use it as a phone! Please help!
Can nobody help me?!?!?
Have you tried calling O2? I had no signal for a few hours last night and had the ! mark next to the aeriel symbol, maybe there were network problems in your area as well?
Alternatively have you tried the SIM in another phone to check it's been activated correctly?
You could also try SIM-Unlocking your phone using the tool somewhere on this forum (Search should find it) and try it with your Virgin SIM to see if it's actually the phone which isn't working.
Apart from that can't help.
Sorry!!!!

I have emailed them about the problem, and may well back it up with a call; I just don't want to be on hold for an hour listening to someone playing the trumpet with their arse.
My sister has an o2 phone, but is out at the moment. I will check with her when I next see her.
I have been looking at the all in one unlock tool in the General section, but am wary of it as I don't want to brick this phone. Will it wipe the WM2k3 OS do you know? Or is it just like an application that searches the system?
Thanks!
UPDATE: Have just decided to bite the bullet and try the all in one unlock. It worked and my XDA is now on my old Virgin Sim. I will try my o2 Sim in my sister's phone at some point. Could it be that I have bought a dodgy o2 sim?
UPDATE: I tested the Sim in my Sister's phone, and it came up with "Unregistered Sim". I then put in an unused Sim that she got as part of a promotional freebie type thing and it registered in under a minute! I'm going to take back the Sim that will not register, but before I do, is there anything else I can try?
SOLVED
Simcard refunded, am using spare that my sister had as it worked straight away.
SOLVED
Glad to hear that - I had just dug out this morning the SIM unlock program and was going to PM it to you then I saw your post.
Enjoy your phone!

Thanks for your help buddy! Much appreciated

T-Mobile uk SIM problem

My Kaiser has refused to recognise my T_Mobile uk sim card. The T-mobile card works well with any other phone. My kaiser also works well with other sim cards from 3, orange and vodafone. My kaiser was unlocked last month. Pls help. T-Mobile has accepted to change the card for £10.
Did it used to work?
We upgraded a number to a number of Kaisers some months back - kept the existing SIM cards that we had been using. All was fine but then when one Kaiser died, we got a replacement and the SIM card which was working fine (and was by now probably two+ years old) in the now dead Kaiser, refused to work in the new one. Worked fine in other phones.
Took it in to a T-Mobile shop and they replaced the SIM card - all then fine.
Hope that helps.
Sounds like it's an old T-Mobile sim card. If so, get it swapped. Should sort your problem. If not, then I don't know what to suggest. Have you tried another T-Mobile sim?
Happened to me when I got a T-Mobile PAYG SIM last week to trial for data coverage.
Popped SIM in and worked well.
I then tried a Vodafone Sim and that was ok.
When I put the T-Mobile SIM back in - I got the message "no SIM found"
Tried Orange and Vodafone and they both gave the same message !
I was not convinced the SIM'S were making good contact - there seemed too much movement under the flimsy metal crossbar.
The solution to get the T-Mobile and other SIM's working was to insert a small piece of paper on top the SIM as you slide it under the metal crossbar.
This puts a little bit of extra padding on top of the SIM to help make decent contact.
I suppose the paper could be put on top of the crossbar instead to achieve the same effect but have not tried this.

Tilt not recognizing SIM card??

Hey guys...I sold my Tilt and they buyer said when they inserted their SIM it wouldn't recognize it. I flashed the newest Hyperdragon ROM before I shipped the device, and everything seemed to be working fine. The buyer went to ATT store where they tried other SIM cards, but none worked in the Tilt.
It worked fine with my SIM, which I'm using now in my Fuze. Any ideas what would be causing this? Thanks
i have the same problem too. i'm new to this kaiser/tytnII.
i bought it used from a guy. at first i was able to use my simcard on it. But after using it for 2-3 days, the phone failed to detect my simcard.
i tried with other simcards and it worked fine.
* i think the previous owner flashed with hyperdragonIII ROM, when it boots it says hyperdragon III omnia
Had the same problem. I take my sim card out of my blackberry and put it into my tilt and it recognizes nothing. I take tthe sim out of the tilt back into the Blackberry and works perfectly. I flashed Hyperdragon III ralpheal and blackstone. I finally went back to an at&t based one. Originally when I had dutty's rom or Schapp the sim worked fine
i have just recently bought a unlocked tilt (i don't think it was ever flashed before because the seller didn't know whats flashing)
however, at first, it couldn't read my sim card at all even though my sim works perfectly on my wing. so i took it to a cellphone place across the street and their sim card worked on the tilt, in the end, i just had to pay an extra 20 bucks to get a new SIM card. it is also a better idea to flash without the sim card in the phone!

True, I always notice better reslults flashing without SIM and microSD intalled.
I don't know what happened, but the buyer emailed me and said they went to another ATT store and got it working. I'll see if I can find out what the ATT rep did to make it work...

Is the sim card for Orange as well? Could be a case where the phone requires unlocking.
hi thanks for that yes the sim card is for orange as I have an orange phone already which it works ok in
Is the phone brand new, or second hand. Try blowing into the sim tray incase there is any dust on the contacts. Also give the sim a wipe.
go to your orange shop and ask for a new simcard.
have had the same problem here with my phone: after a few weeks, my simcard wasn't recognised any more. Got a new card, and all works fine again...
