I bought a HD7 from London locked with O2. I used htcimieunlock and unlocked it.
Then i flew back to India and right now with the vodafone network. I can make calls and send text.
But when ever i go to the market place it says "feature not avialable for this region"
While i was in london had 02 card inserted and had tried to access market place and i had got the same message.
Am i a getting this because of a unlocked phone? Or there is genuinely problem with the region.
What do you guys suggest to get this fixed? As of now i cant use my pdf docs or any other softwares.
Also has anyone been able to find a file explorer in market place?
I have an unlocked phone and it's working fine, sounds like there's genuinely a problem with the Marketplace in India.
And there is no File Explorer app.
Thank you for replying.
Are you from london cause i will be there again in 3 days.
In settings is your region/location as United states or united kingdom?
Cause when i was in London last week it said, that i should change my location to US
Hi,
I'm from Birmingham, England's Second City, in the Midlands.
My Region is set to United Kingdom for all options. It shouldn't have said that when you were in London, I know I'm not actually from London but the chances of it varying through the UK are slim to non. The marketplace should work fine in the UK. Maybe there is something wrong with the software on your device?
If your live account is set to india then it will do that to you, no matter where you are in the world.
I'm using the hotmail id since last 5yrs plus. Now for a phone I'll have to change my identity..
I'll be in London on the 9th and I guess I'll findout then.
Has anyone been able to change to a different live id without resetting the device?
i bought my hd7 from london as well.works well in malaysia
Okay i am in London today and on the 3 network.
AND MY MARKET PLACE IS NOT WORKING.
My id is @hotmail.com and is not .in (india)
Wht do u think is going wrong here? Why does it still say not supported in your country/region.
The guy in malaysia....whats ur id...hotmail.com or something else..
While in London i made another live ID.
after making the ID i entered that ID in zune and wallah! i got connected to the market place and culd shop provided my phone had the same ID.
Since i am not game to change my 10year old ID, what i tried was i went to the optons of the newly made id. In the region there i changed it to United kingdon instead of united states which was by default.
I alt/tab to zune and then tried again and now mynew id which a while back could log in cannot log in to market place now.
I went again and made the changes to united states and guess what...IT STILL DOSENT LOG IN
S T A N G E
So i conclude that once u leave the region as united states then i guess you are doomed.
Wanted someone to check on this one
1: If anyone can go in their hotmail options and check their region there? People in UK is your region as united states or UK.
Would apreciate someone trying and letting me know this info
There are many people affected by this problem.u can search it at zune forum.at the moment marketplace only supports 2 place.eu and usa.so for people like us we need to create uk or usa region id to access the marketplace but we can only download trial and free apps.because we do not have usa or uk credit cards.hopefully microsoft will introduce buying apps using points like xbox console can do.and i believe side apps loading will be available.it is just a matter of time.

You can try a rom upgrade or use a CID Unlocker Here Or you can change your imei through registry but i aint sure how to
its already sim unlocked but i dont know if its secuirty unlocked
i emailed olipro a while a go but he didnt respond. either he or tupisdin originally unlocked it for me i cant remember as i had a dimaond previously aswell which i sold for a touch pro, then missed so bad i bought another one
would i be allowed to change imei i thought this was illegal?
il give anything a try right now. if i security unlock again and sim unlock again will this do anything? or maybe if i flash the radio or rom again maybe???? its already hardspl
man thi sis so frustrating im angry!!
o2 just called me and said "technically" they unlocked everything there end but still it wont show signal, i tried 3 different sim cards now too
something did change - it now shows the G symbol by the signal but still no signal - there is just an "!" there
anyone?
id really appreciate some help here guys
This may seem stupid and it probably is but have you tried flashing a hard reset or maybe even flashing a new radio? I don't know if it will work but I'd certainly give it a try if I was you... You never know and you've got nothing to lose...
Hi patterns,
The only way to unbar the device is by the original provider (O2).
The provider simply places a national IMEI block so that your device can't be used anymore in the UK.
The only thing to prevent the device from being barred is by change the IMEI (which is illegal), but the info to do that isn't public (and illegal).
O2 is still the only way to unbar..
hi equinoxe,
thanks - this is what o2 are trying to do, but there is some problem because i moved provider to vodafone and then didnt keep the number, so there is something stuck in transit permanently. o2 have tried 3 times now to do this and keep telling me the same thing, i dont know what to do anymore........
i called and asked if i could change imei, the guy said it would work but he cant assist - obviously as you mention this is not legal. But in saying that is it still illegal if i do it for genuine reason?
man this is so frustrating, i finally out of pure good luck find my phone and it seems useless now!
guys o2 managed to unbar the phone but now it only works on t-mobile and o2????? it wont work on orange or vodafone, any idea why?
2 Days old hd7. Bought from London 02 locked. Used imie unlocked website n got kt unlocked.
now I'm in India. When ever I try to access marketplace it says not available for ur region. is this normal or since its unlocked some features may not work?
Or it would only work with 02sim and in London only?
also has anyone been able to manage a file explorer ? I'd still need market place though
It's to do with the Live ID you used to sign in. It is most likely linked to India and because the marketplace isn't open to India yet you will not be able to access it.
IF you want to gain access you will need to setup a new Live ID with American / British addresses.
I'm not sure how payment will work though as you may need a Billing Address in the US /UK.
Okay this is what i tried.
I reset my HD7. Then when it started i didnt set up the live ID. i tried market place and it worked on my home WiFi. (i put my sin card off - flight mode)
Then i went on the computer and changed my hotmail id to united states. I entered my id on hD7 and again on WiFi tried market place and it worked.
BUT when i tried to purchase anything it says product not available on catlogue.
Then i started my simcard and tried market place again and it said itsnot available for this region.
So its the sim card thats creating the region.
Now with my ID set as USA, when im in london next i am going to try market place. I have a 3 service sim card there with internet on it.
Will then check and post again.
I tried to put my phone and flight mode and tried market place on WiFi and guess what now again it says not available for your region.
So until i had no sim activated inside i was good. but now somehow phone knows wether flight mode or no flight mode...my location is India
As far as I know, once a Live ID is created for a certain region, you cannot change the region.
You are able to change it for the individual services (Hotmail, etc) but the base ID remains attached to the country you registered it as. There were some problems experienced by UK residents where they had initially registered a US account for use with Zune marketplace and then changed it all to UK when they purchased a WP7 device but because it was still a US account they could not add their UK credit card for purchases in the MarketPlace.
So, it seems that you'll either need to create a new US ID but potentially have no access to your credit cards or you'll just have to wait till the WP7 launches in India.
Good luck and let me know what you try!
running 2.2.1 jpy decided to try mobile tracker again.. registered online.. www.samsungdive.com registered on phone.. everything ok.. went through all the hoops an when clicking on locate phone on the damn website it says (
for legal reasons, this function not in service in some countries)
i am in the u.s.. pos!!!!
back to using "where is my droid" !
Same here... I have tried changing my country: Norway, Sweden, Netherlands... None seem to work... :-(
Works for me in Northern Ireland, I only found it the other day too and its really nice. Would like it to be integrated with Kies that would be nice
You have to set a 3 digit country code, for North America use 001, just lookup your country code and if it's less than 3 digits add a leading zero. Works fine like that for me.
I tried that (entering 047 instead of 47 for Norway). No change.
I guess I'll just use Prey instead...
Hi,
I got one of those great phones a couple of days ago. The Chinese premium dual sim - EVA-AL10. It works with my mobile provider, but I have an issue with the mobile internet. It would not show the configuration SMS and when I attempted manual configuration it will not save the APN if I change the default MCC and MNC. The default phone values are MCC 204 and MNC 04. The technical support of my provider (Bob in Bulgaria) instructed me to enter MCC 284 and MNC 01. But if I do this, when I click save the configuration is not there. If I create it without changing the default values it saves, but if I change them later on save the configuration disappears as well. The support told me this could mean the telephone is locked or incompatible with networks outside of China, but they were not sure what the problems is. I am using the original Chinese ROM. The seller offered to flash something they called international version ROM, for the additional languages they said. I refused in order for the them not to unseal the box. I wonder if this "International" ROM is going to solve my problem, but I cannot find it anywhere? Or do I need some kind of unlock code or firmware? Any information is much appreciated!
My phone build number: EVA-AL10C00B151
Baseband: 21.198.00.00.031
Hi,
I received that very same model yesterday. I live in Spain and have no problem using it with 2 different operators here. I guess at least it works with some operators outside china.
Although I have no problem with my voice or internet access with either of the 2 SIMs, I am actively looking for an international ROM to flash it. As you may know, there are some non-removable chinese apps, being the more annoying the one that tries to update things with the chinese version of the program (HiApp). Voice detection is chinese oriented so some funny things happen when trying to activate the function Like when they force you to read the activation words in chinese, or the chinese words for answering the phone or others
My model is EVA-AL10, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1 and compilation number EVA-AL10C00B168.
Ask your "seller" to explain you exactly "which" ROM they are going to use and that is in fact compatible with the capabilities of your hardware. Thing is I've been looking for an international ROM for this model since before I bought it but I wasn't able to find one. Make sure they do not use a ROM compatible with european models but which do not support dual sim. I think it is supposed to be released a version for european market but is still not released (EVA-L29). forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/eva-l29-stock-rom-eva-l10-t3387185/page2
Best of lucks!

What do you mean by "unseal the box"? Your provider wanted to flash the international version firmware for you. That is an official one therefore won't void your warranty. Moreover some chinese resellers like Alibaba do flash international version for phones sold outside of China. You can let the customer support of your provider to flash that version.
Hey,
My problems with data turned out to be, because the operator was instructing me to configure my Dutch sim instead of my Bulgarian one Figured that out, now internet access works great. Very nice phone! The seller would not give me any information about what ROM they were going to install. If you find an international version (after it gets out), please let me know.
I don't trust Chinese sellers too much. Better to use Chinese ROM than to have a phone that was thrown around a couple of months as demo device in some Chinese store.
Could somebody list all the chinese apps, which are installed out of the box? I just want to compare it with my Honor 7 (also chinese version)
Hi there.
I'm also purchased the Chinese version of P9 plus VIE-AL10, dual sim.
It's working just fine with both my operators (voice, internet, SMS, MMS and wifi) but I can't register my phone with Huawei ID cause supports only Chinese area phones. There are many apps needing Huawei ID to work and without it, are unusable...
So, I'm looking for a solution, if there is any.
My phone Version # is VIE-AL10C00B176
and I live in Greece.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Nicholas.
hI! I use this model EVA AL10 in India...The phone works flawlessly despite China specific firmware and the chinese language in the stock browser and other Huawei is only a minor annoyance. i was horrified when the android wear apps from Playstore AND HiApp refused to pair with my phone....i get a message ...use an android wear in china device! its such a shame...the only option seems to be rooting the phone and installing the international rom everyone keeps talking about...please help
Currently in the UK and gave my USA G781U1 to my mum. Set the device up without local UK SIM card installed don’t recall seeing or selecting an option for region ( no suprise ). After device was setup I inserted the UK sim, all smooth but after installing Uber Eats app it prompted for a zip code instead of post code. Even though the app itself was depicting currency in UK pounds. Any idea why?
I initially thought it was because the region country language was USA but it wasn’t. Cheers.
don't know the reason but go with Just Eat... the other lot are a right bunch of...
