Hi everyone,
I recently (3 weeks or so) bought a Rogers Captivate (Canada) and flashed the cognition froyo rom b6 onto it. everything was great. however, As I was traveling to India soon - i wanted to unlock it. So, I flashed the 2.1 AT&T rom, and did the nv_data.bin process where it doesn't ask for a unlock code anymore. I tried my bell canada sim card and it seemed to work fine. The network lock for OFF too.
Now, when I came to India and put an indian sim card (bsnl), it says (phone not allowed MM#6) and the IMEI is 'unknown'. I flashed 2.1 AT&T again and I got network but as soon as I switched the sim card, same problem. No network, with a phone not allowed error. I tried the Axura rom and same problem. Now, I am back to AT&T 2.1 and can't for the life of me, get a sim card to work!!!!!
I NEED to fix this, as I am traveling across india for 3-4 months and not having a phone, is a major problem!!!!!
please help.
I have access to a mac/PC and odin.
Maybe becouse you have flash att rom into it. And is rogers one, did you do a nandroid backup or anything of that sort before you loaded it with att or did anything?
rogers
I did have a Nandroid backup but that didn't help at all.
I have done the one-click downloader, flashed to stock JF6, Master clear, and still not luck
any suggestions?
bump...............................
Lot of info on Google but not much answers on how to make it work.
Basically the indian provider is locking out North American devices based on the imei. Buy a disposable phone.

HI All,
I have waited and waited and............. waited for a standard Froyo Australian Optus ROM, I had not even thought about rooting the phone it was as standard as can be.
The ROM had finally come but I did my upgrade and the phone couldn't see the SIM. So I called Optus who passed me to Samsung who referred me to 2 different "service" centers hoping this was a standard issue with a standard fix. How foolishly trusting was I. so after getting off many phone calls it came to "send it in we will look at it". So I started my own research and ............... nothing (more than happy if someone knows where there is an answer and I just missed it)
So after this fail I was over it and so I loaded the DOC v9 JPO ROM rooting and all. Even after this the phone could still not see the SIM. =( I found the stock standard ROM loaded it and yes the SIM was fine so I tried once again the Optus release, FAIL, and then DOCs, FAIL. so I am back at the stock standard ROM and hoping not to have to send it away.
PLEASE HELP
Hi,
First thank you everybody who post here and try to help peers. It is really nice of you.
Second, here is my problem. I am in Canada so I have my Captivate with Rogers. I upgraded recently to Froyo 2.2, the upgrade process went smoothly. I was very happy with the upgrade for couple of days until I noticed that I can not transfer files on my internal SD card. I googled a little bit and I realized this was a common problem. I called Samsung, I called Rogers .. no help. Then I just wanted to return to previous version so I used Odin3. Just to realize that it is not a Rogers' stock but AT&T.
Now Rogers agreed to replace my telephone and I have to return it back just that I can not return it with AT&T. How can I install a Rogers stock?
Thanks you... please help!
I am an at&t guy but this should help

the mobile was previously on three uk network but is now debranded obviously with gingerbread
i tried a hard reset via *2767*3855* but still no change.
any help greatly appreciated many thanks in advance

Just look like your phone have been locked on three network.and your unlock is failed.
Did you try found any phone shop on market to unlock your phone?
probably just five pound for each one on Chinatown.
I was stay in UK for 3 year,and as I know, the Chinatown guys have special device for unlock phone ,one simply for all,whatever you upgrade rom,you will be never locked again.
I'm not sure about that really cause it also does this with my correct network sim card still installed......
You've checked your apn settings? Sounds top suspect to me.
If you've still got problems, flash ezbase gingerbread. Search dev section, full, simple instructions included.
I tried that it tells me i should
"insert a sim card to access network services"
Could you point me in the right direction so i know im using the right programs and files
Please check your IMEI number by dialing *#06# on the keypad. If it displays the correct imei number as displayed on the Phone box/ under the battery, then you are saved. If not you have lost your efs folder which contains the files which hold the imei data.
Did u get the phone with Gingerbread as stock rom? Try downgrading to an Eclair (2.1) ROM with Odin.
hello again peoples,
I'm very grateful for all your assistance but i just wasn't paying attention when i was putting my SIM card into my phone and put it in the wrong way round...!
i mean what happened to SIM card slots where sim cards only fit in one way...!
again thanks alot for all your assistance also i've ended up upgrading to Insanity 2.3.5
Thank s
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to look at my problems
I have a gt-i9000 which was orginally on O2 network. They unlocked for me at the end of my contract but no matter what I did I could not get my phone to accept my new three network sim.
Three replaced the first sim and I know the new one works - they got it to work in store and I've used it on an old handset of my dads.
I can get my works sim to work in the phone and connect to data with no problems.
It was suggested that I try flashing the phone with new firmware.
So I have managed over this weekend to upgrade my firmware to 2.3.6 gingerbread xxjw4
then root the phone - first attempt bootlooped it.
but second attempt worked.
I've now got it upgraded to
4.2.2
baseband : i9000XXJVT
kernel: 3.0.71- Semaphore_JB_2.9.18s
slim version : slim-4.2.2.build3-OFFICIAL
build number JDQ39
but the three sim still will not work in the phone.
So my questions are :
any other suggestions on getting the sim to work or could it be an actual fault with the handset?
I have my husbands gt-i9000 I could try and root to see if that works but that is still sim-locked to o2 and I don't know how to remove it.
I'm also considering downgrading the firmware as I am finding quite a few of my everyday apps won't run. And my data on o2 sim seems quite flakey if it connects.
Is this as simple as flashing the old firmware back on?
Thanks for your time - grateful newbie.

Hey guys,
I'm new to this and I have a issue with my phone. This is what happened; I rooted my Exhibit 2 using the instructions on here and proceeded to flash cm10. I backed up on CWM on my phone then proceeded to do a system wipe and flash the ROM. Once it downloaded, I did not have service. I flashed to Slim Bean 4.2.2 and then back to stock ROM, still no service. My IMEI number is intact, fyi. I really need help. Hopefully this salvageable!
*Update* I forgot to mention that my phone won't recognize sim card. I put it into older phones and says Sim SOS, basically no service still. Help greatly appreciated.
well if your sim doesnt get recognized in other phones you may need to get a new sim
What usually causes sim card to end up like that?
i have no idea never happened to me but i would go to tmobile or whoever your carrier is and get a new one. might be 5 bucks and give it a try
So got the new sim card. I now have service. It says I have 4G but i cant download apps from google play or use internet. So this makes me think that there is a problem with either the radio or my EFS. Any suggestions?
Do you guys think I need to get a new modem/radio? If so any suggestions?
after getting my new sim card i couldnt download either, i had to wipe cache with cmw then it worked
