Help!! I have a Kaiser through O2 UK which is known as an O2 XDA Stellar. I didn't actually use the phone much yesterday but did send my boyfriend a text at about 1.30 which he got. When I later checked my phone at about 7pm, I noticed that it had no reception so just turned it off and on again - when the Windows Mobile screen came up, I then got an error box saying "Phone not allowed mm #6". I restarted again and soft reset a few times, but no luck. I then thought that I might as well do a hard reset...that worked fine but still getting the error message and no reception!
Decided to ring o2 who were very helpful (bless them!) and got me to do all the stuff I had already tried...no reception and still the same error. I then tried a vodafone and orange sim in my phone which both worked no error!! A ha we all thought - it must be the sim!...Off I trundle at 8pm last night to our local shopping centre to pick up a new sim...got sim back, put it in phone wait for it to be activated and then the same error and no reception!! Both o2 sims work in another phone :-( Have no decided that my phone hates o2 sims for some reason :-( Have phone O2 this morning and they need to send my phone off to be repaired...I can have another phone from o2 on loan if i pay a deposit!...
Does anyone know of anything I can try before I resort to sending my baby off to some far away o2 land??? :-(

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?
Hi guys,
Just got my phone back from being bricked and back to its origonal state but its origonal state, although ive got some signal its not letting me call out or recive calls i thought it was my SIM card but it works in other phones,
So i need to fix it has anybody had the same problem?
software is 2.2, and the handset has 3 button disabled
Also it is on the Orange network
Have you set up your APN and SMS settings as supplied by your network provider . If not do that first .
As it sounds like you no longer have the original firmware from the network on your phone .

Hi found out what the problem was the phone was black listed by orange as the phone was purchased off eBay as an unwanted upgrade, I beloved this has happens to alot of people on orange, all you have to do is call orange and give them your IMEI number and then they unblock it,
Thanks for your help though guys

Hello friends, how are you?
My name is Renato and I'm from Brazil. Some weeks ago I bought a Galaxy Note N7000 unlocked by TIM operator. It comes with
android 4.0.3 and I never updated the android or did any hacks.
Well, until yesterday, everything was fine. But yesterday, when the phone starts, it find the operator's signal but after some seconds it enter on the
emergency calls only status. Also, even it's blocked for emergency calls only, I can use the internet 3g without a problem! Very very strange...
I already checked my sim card and It works on my older nokia without a problem. Also, I put another sim from another operator (Oi operator) and it works without a problem too. Also I check my sim status at my operator and it´s unblocked too. I did a factory reset too and nothing changes...
Looks like my galaxy note cannot work with TIM sims anymore?
Please if somebody have an idea about this error, please let me know.
All,
Not sure if this belongs in here.
Can any one offer their help / opinion on this situation.
A could of weeks back I lost my previous S3 reported it lost to Tesco Mobile (sim only contract) and brought myself my current S4 LTE. This was locked to orange and I had this removed and all was working fine.
The other week went away and had no signal, not unusual for where I was as I never have any signal there so thought nothing more bout it. Got home a few days later and still no signal.
Intially though it may have been my sim as it was an old standard sim that I had cut down so ordered a replacement. Received this nad out it in the phone expecting to be up and running but no such luck.
Was on the phone to Tesco asking if the network was down and but no.
I then had asked if the phone was locked. It seems that some where along the line with on going insurance claim for the lost phone I have probably mixed them up and had the new phones IMEI blocked as well. the person on Tesco said not a problem that they can send a notice off to get the IMEI bar lifted.
5 days later and still no signal. Every thing else on the phone works, wifi (when hooked up) just no phone signal, Message on lock screen says "no signal - Tesco Mobile"
Is the IMEI still barred? Is 5 days too long for it to be lifted? I keep re- booting in the hope that it needs to be re-booted to re-set.
It has been rooted and running Cyanogen 10.1
Android version - 4.2.2
Kernel Version - 3.0.64-CM-G06b6513
I do not think that there is a problem with the root / mod as it was working fine before. Unless you can tell me other wise.
Thanks for any help advise?

You need to ask the network re the unblocking .
Are you asking a question about your SGS3 ??? I9305 or should you be in the S4 forums ???

Sorry, it's an S3 (4g model)
Called the network the other day and seems as though it has been unlocked to them but not to me. Have tried with an orange sim and same thing.
Will give them a call.
Thanks
I bought a handset a few years ago from eBay - HTC Touch Pro2 - which the owner had obviously reported lost. The IMEI was listed on the CEIR blacklist; both my Telco (T-Mobile) and the original Telco (Vodafone) said that removal of the blacklist was impossible as the bar was permanent.
Might be time to pester Tesco for a new handset if it's their fault!
