My phone doesn't see my SIM with JPC!

Please help me!
My phone doesn't see my SIM! A flashed the JPC with Kies. First time my phone is locked down network. I flashed back to JM2, but the problem is stills. I wrote the commands in cmd (mv nv_data.....) and after it's not asking network unlock PIN. After it I unlocking my phone with the unlocking app. Everything was fine with JM2, but when I flashed up JPC, my phone doesn't see my sim. Doesn't see any sim. No signal only the white round with the diagonal line! When I take bak JM2, my phone ask pin code, I write it, and everything is good. The problem is only with JPC. But I want JPC, baceuse it's very fantastical, I think.
Any idea what should i do?
I can't believe that nobody has idea what is the problem...

Have you tried doing the rename trick (the .nv_data.bin) thing while running JPC? Having it use those settings might work

I have got the code After I flashed JPC and it locked my phone, i was afraid and flash back JM2, it also ask network unlock pin, i done the cmd: mv nv_data.bin nv_data.jpc ect... It works very good, but i unlock my galaxy S with the unlock app from the market and with an AT&T Simcard! Works perfect the unlock on all rom, the problem is only on the JPC.
You shouldn't have moved the files, you need to revert it(use the nv_data from JPC) for your sim card to work (it happened to me today...), i changed it to the old nv_data and my sim card stopped working, even with the default sim card.

Yes! My baseband version is unknown...
I think that rooting JPC and applying the same procedure of replacing the nv_data* files with their corresponding .nv_data* ( or previously backed up versions, possibly) should make your phone work with it (you need to root because JPC somehow changes the file permissions of the /efs folder and all its contents to -rwx------).
I haven't tried it, though - the experience of having my SIM-locked phone reject my SIM card was too nerve wracking for me. I'll wait a bit longer on JM6 - it's almost september!

SGS Android 2.2.1 Unlock Sim??

Hey guys I habe updated via ODIN to 2.2.1 recently and I now
want to unlock my phone to all networks (simlock remove)
Is it possible for the new android version?

Have you tried sgs unlocker?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yes, I unlocked my Phone on Android 2.1 EClair and it is still unlocked on 2.2.1 JPU. These are not iPhones, therefore they do not require a hack.. Hell samsung stores the unlock code on your phone!
SGS Unlocker says to me:
"Sorry no codes found
File not found: Do you have a Samsung Galaxy S?"

I think you need to have root for the unlock to work in Froyo. If possible dowgrade to Eclair, unlock and upgrade back to Froyo ... or get root in Froyo first.
Its probably unlocked, have you tried another sim on it yet?

In settings, there is Location & Security, & you find Set up SIM card lock. HAVE YOU DONE THAT? Verify.
When you put in another SIM, is it asking for a PIN to use phone?

sorry for my bad english.
I put in my other sim card and first it asks me for a pin. So I enter the pin and the it asks me for a "network- unlock code" (i think that's what it's called in english).
Is this a used phone you bought?
I think the original owner put a SIM lock code on it. Worst case, you bought a stolen phone.
If you can put the phone to download mode, why dont you try flashing a 2.1 ROM? See if it works.

I bought this phone with a contract from "3"-Austria. I'm the first owner.
So now I want to go to Poland to visit my family and put in another sim card.
The usual Pin it asks me I enter sucessfully and then it pops up this messege:
"Siim network unlock Pin".......
-->I think this is the code I need.
When i enter *#7465625#
it says: --> Network Lock [ON]

Try this thread, & ask the developer if he can help you.
you should try what i suggested. the link i posted comes from the the app sgs unlock. try pressing the menu on sgs unlock app and choose generate NV_Data.bin it will lead you to the link i posted earlier.
the tutorial will replace the files that locks your phone. thats why you should make a back up on your /efs folder for warranty or emergency concern.
tried it successfully with 2.2

no problem Out of interest , which method did you use?
I used both of them, and i got same unlock pin code in either case. I think that second one (one with pushing .sh file) is a little bit easier to read. Greetings, and thank you once again.

I used both methods also and got same code. now if there was a way to unlock the device once and not have to unlock everytime a sim is changed that would be awesome.

I tried to follow the instructions however I never got the unlock code or I am just being dumb when I use method 2 my results are identical to your 2nd screenshot,
there is no 3rd line of text?
Using the first option what I see is very similar to your first screenshot with Vodafone instead of O2. But again no code that I can see.
I have tried inserting simcards from t-mobile and O2 however I never get asked to enter a code. Not that I have a code to enter, I wish I could work out where I am going wrong.

The phone is a friends who got it from someone it was on vodafone rru and had the branding on startup and shut down, before I rooted it and put on CWM and Nameless Rom, but when I try my t-mobile sim card it doesn't get a signal for when, unfortunately I do not know if this was an issue as it wasn't supplied to me with a sim card.
I will contact my friend and see if he can supply me his sim card so I can test it. Hopefully as you say it is unlocked. Not sure when i will get the sim card to be able to test it though.

hmmm when you say doesnt get signal.... i wonder if its because its a vodafone branded desire C... it will have everything for Voda hard wired in the device... and wont have any t-mo APNs etc. TMo arent exactly friendly when it comes to APN info unlike other providors like O2 & Voda
I wonder if that is the issue is that no data APNs are selected....

If you want to get your unlock code, you need to flash a Custom Rom, NAmeless For Example.
Once thats been done, you can install busybox and follow the instructions and you get your code.
i managed to succesfully unlock my Desire C
its a stock phone, bought it from Asda UK - on T-Mobile network
although it doesent have any t-mobile branding or carrier apps or boot up logo like most phones have
after unlocking my bootloader and using r1-superuser Root, it went very smooth
but one thing i did notice that seems odd, my IMEI is different in the command shell
to what is displayed in the phone
xxxxxxxxx584298 - displayed from phone
xxxxxxxxx5842901 - displayed on the command shell

[Q][HELP] Mobile cant detect network

Hi Friends,
I updated my ROM to JellyBlur | V1 | 4.1.2 using the below guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038904
After installing rom and gapps, I rebooted my 'W8' phone. Everything was good. But I lost the main function of mobile device:"THE NETWORK" :crying:
I don't know what went wrong. I cant make phone calls as network is not found.
Please help someone.
I tried to manually search the network. But that was of no use. I got a list of networks in search, but i was unable to register the appropriate one.
Check is it on wcdma mode or GSM? And choose as per ur network

Thanks for replying leecorp
There is no option to select the type of network (gsm/wcdma). Atleast I am unable to find it. Moreover list of available networks is dislayed, but I cant register.
The error says,"Cant connect to this network right now.............."
Is anyone there with the same problem???
I dont want to repair my phone.:cyclops:
You can check it by enabling '2g only' in network mode.
Hope it works if you are not in a wcdma mode

I guess the problem is while running msm7227_semc.cmd during unlock bootloader process.

If automatic registration in operator setting doesn't work do this:
Go to "battery use" and touch "graph picture " see there what color is signal line
-red= no signal, means hw damage OR some serious problems with antenna apps
-Yellow & green tells us no problem with hw or sw

Earlier I had used "msm7227_Setool2.cmd" to unlock the bootloader. This was the problem.
After unlocking the bootloader using "msm7227_semc.cmd" . There was no error.
Now problem is solved.

You could simply get it on the Play Store. You don't need Odin for that.

You use the code while using another carrier's sim.
As for rooting, there are so many ways to do it. If you take a second to search Superoneclick or even just search root in here, you'll find plenty of guides. Same goes for unlocking your phone.
