hi.
any one who know about my problems pls help...
ive bought a xda 2 from the net and it seems like i cant make any fonecall nor recives any fone calls via my fone. its seems like its been block but i only can recieves and send sms with it, the fone have been unlock. any one who know about this probles or how to resolved it pls help and would this fone works outside the uk (Brunei) help needed pls.....
If it is blocked in UK it will word in rest of the world, you need to unlock the phone or try an O2 sim card before you give up though.
have been unlock but cant make fone call
the fone have been unlock. which i can use the vodafone sim and o2 for sms.
a gsm triband phone will work on all gsm networks which use 900/1800/1900
if it's blocked even if the network support those frequency then maybe it's a imei nr block but then i suppose it would not be able to send sms
what makes it blocked
what makes it blocked in the first place. hope it will work back home in brunei.
suhardee, a phone is blocked if reported stolen or if a claim for insurance is paid out, once the insurers pay out they want to make sure that it cant be used again on the networks, would make more sense to reclaim the broken phones and get some of their money back by selling them.
hemmm
so basically ive bought a stolen phone or a fone which have been claim for its insurance. but just hope it works back home in brunei coz ive unlocked it already. thanks for clearing this up for me. but how would the fone compeny blockd it coz i didnt bought the fone with any sim card is it via the imei number? coz that is the logical explainations. i think it might work in brunei coz at home eventhow mobile is the same advance as in the UK but i dont think the mobile compeny in brunei is that advance.
this forum have a automatic dictionary which mean that if you hold your pointer on top of the place where you wrote imei then you'll get a popup explaining 100% what it is and where it's located
thanks
thanks every one who makes things clear for me... by this weekend i will know if he fone works at home or not.....
Firstly, hello everyone.
I recently bought the Orange SPV M3100 on eBay, and can not for the life of me get it to connect to Vodafone with my contract SIM.
So far I have:
-Sim unlocked and superCID'd the phone.
-Installed WM6 (via CUSTEL).
-Tried 3 different Radio versions.
-Attempted to install Vodafones official update (which failed for reasons unknown).
-Played around with just about all network settings.
Basically, the device acts as if it's trying to connect to the network, but doesn't (PC speakers pick up inteference etc).
With automatic network selection it just doesn't do anything.
With manual network selection it gives all four big UK providers (allowing for signal - I live in the North York Moors) including Vodafone, but won't connect to any of them.
If I click 'set networks' I get a HUGE list of providers. Vodafone UK (if it appears at all, for some reason O2 and TMobile seem to appear on the list more often) is nearly always unchecked at the bottom. Checking it doesn't fix the problem. When I go back there later it has sometimes lost that setting and Vodafone is unchecked at the bottom again.
I should probably mention that any setting I change here results in a 2 minute "Sending new settings to the network", and on a couple of occasions has caused it to crash.
If I go onto band settings, originally they were both set to auto. Infact, I've just gone onto it as I type, and they have gone back to auto. Before it had got stuck on GSM/UMTS band type 'GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)' (gave an error message unable to change band etc if I tried to change it to anything else). I cannot change the network type or GSM band otherwise without the same error message appearing.
So anyway, as you can see I've gone through a lot and read a lot unlike your typical n00b, and my prospects with this new phone are bleak.
Can anyone help me or suggest anything else that could get this phone onto Vodafone?
I have a worrying thought that this phone could have originally been half-inched (the eBay seller seemed a tad on the dodgy side), been reported, and is now serial-blocked from UK networks, if that's possible?
[edit] I don't know if they are or can be serial blocked, but in which case, assuming you trust and sympathise with my story, is it possible to hack & change the serial number?
Sounds possible that its been blocked. Yes there is a way but you probably won't find any help on this site to do it as it is illegal. Thats not to say you can't search the site, you may find something that may help... Search is your friend...
Cheers...
Yeah reading into the problem reveals a possible 'IMEI' block.
Time to contact the ebay seller I think.
Have spotted an obvious hole in my theory:
The thing came in it's original box (s/n sticker confirmed) with all manuals and accessories.
So back to original problems; is there anything else I have missed?
[edit]
Phone is unblocked according to http://www.amta.org.au/default.asp?Page=405.
So unless they're wrong, why can't I connect to Vodafone and what else can I try?
did you try *#06# on the phone to be sure the S/N on the stickers and phone is the same as the actual phone S/N?
Yes, they are.
Would Vodafone be of any help on this issue?
Depends if they supply that model of phone.
Do you have a network configurator app cooked into the rom you are using or are you using a stock rom?
Might be an idea to look for a network configurator cab if you're using the stock rom and see if that helps. Also if you are using a stock rom, and its not setup for vodaphone, it MAY (don't quote me on this) be affecting the network settings and making it incompatable with the carrier you want.
Just a thought...
I'd also try to run the sim unlock app again, just remember it has to be the SPL that was supplied with the sim/cid unlock tool. Make sure you install Hard SPL V7 back after checking this...
vodaphone will help you if you ring them up using a the sim card in a working phone and ask them to check if its imei is blocked, they do it totaly free of charge.. had to do this with a viewty i bought from a work buddy shorty before he forgot to tell me he did not pay the contract bill and t-mobile blocked it. well annoyed, but they told me it was reported Lost or stolen.
found a few places on the net that offer a check for £10 sod em lol
luckly got me cash back selling it for parts hehe
What a bloody carry on!
Vodafone told me it was blacklisted; reported stolen.
The eBay member is highly upset at being called a theif and very convincingly tells me otherwise (I'm 90% sure I can believe his story, and feel bad for my accusation).
Orange (of whom I'm not even a customer) then tell me "I'm sorry it's blacklisted for an unknown reason ... <click-click> ... there you go sir I've removed it from the blacklist!"
Well, if it starts working again in the next 48 hours I couldn't give a monkeys what's gone on. I just want the bugger to work!
the only reason that a phone would be blocked is if it was reported.......have you tried another sim from o2 or orange etc.
the question has been asked before about imei changing and as you know its illegal,but can be done so if all else fails search elsewhere,not here, i would suggest that unblocking a phone is never likely to be an achievable goal.the networks are not known for their magninimity

Your phone is blocked by the operator. Whoever sold you had it on contract and has either stopped paying the bill or has reported the phone lost or stolen. Orange sims will work for a very short time when they are first put into the hermes until the network picks up it is blocked. If you want proof just put the orange sim in a phone that works fine and make a couple of calls and then take it out and put it in the hermes and power it up and you will get a signal and it will work for a while then it will switch off again.
I would contact ebay and report him and if you paid by paypal i would contact them too. Well unless he stated that the phone was blocked already, in which case you havent got a leg to stand on.
If you are in the uk you can check if the imei is blocked by dialing this number, just follow the prompts and enter the imei when it asks, the number is 07956125820. Its a tmobile number for checking imei's out
When i bought this phone was difrent rom i change it for oragne now. i will make a movie whats problems i got with phone and i will put links on youtube in here i think u know what you doing. so if u got time help me.
Don't change anything.... Reread scousemartin's post, he already told you whats wrong. If you play around with it you aren't gonna get anywhere and its just gonna be a headache if you bought it off ebay. As its been modified by you, the seller will say YOU caused the problem so its NOT HIS/HER fault and you will be out of pocket with a useless phone.....
Hey i tryied to call this number but i got signal but no boady anwser. I will go to oragne or carphonewarehouse.
that number works, try calling it on a phone that isnt the one thats blocked
going to orange or the car phone warehouse wont be of any use as they are going to say exactly what i have told you, you have been ripped off by somebody on ebay. Why dont you just contact ebay and tell them they have sold you a phone thats been blocked in fact if it was me, i would post there ebay username all over the net

thx for help!
please can anybody help me. i bought one htc elf in dubai and i went then to turkey am trying to make it work in turkey but in vain. it is always searching for network and not finding anything.
have you tried flashing a different radio? Or, have you go into phone settings and tried to select a network manually?
i couldn't upgrade my radio version it is always arriving 79%, stopping and giving error.
Whats the error, make sure to post as much information as possible, people wold be able to help better then.
Have you checked the error codes in the ROM section?
Stu
no actually am sorry but i did not know about that section before. so it is error 270.
thanks actually i found that error solution but nothing changed still my phone is searching for network in vain. even am trying to find a network manually it is writing cannot read settings from the network try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again.
where did you buy the phone from in dubai? Was it from a market etc or a store? It could be blacklisted in turkey? Just thinking that could be a possibility.
i bought from jumbo electronics in dubai it is a distributer of consumer electronics. so what can we do if it is blacklisted.
i doubt it would be blacklisted if from a shop. If it is blacklisted, theres pretty much nothing you can do about it, apart from change the imei - which may well be illegal, i know it is here in the UK.
mm is there any way to change the imei like software.
for that, i would not help. you can however search forums to see if you can find anything for it.
google checkmend as well, that tells if the phone is blacklisted etc, but maybe only for us and uk, not sure. costs $2.99 USD though.
actually there is something strange i have one sim card from UAE, when i use it the signal of network is coming and when i put any sim in Turkey no signal is coming. do you think it is blacklisted?
the turkey sim may not be registered? I wouldn't be able to say if it is blacklisted - i'm still learning these phones too
About IMEI
If you bring a cell phone from out of Turkey you need to register it in cell shop called like "Turkcell Extra".
You need your phone and your passport. The personal'll look at the dates in your passport and check the invoice date in shop after he/she will register your phone to Turkey Network. after a copule of days you can use it complately...
to my knowledge it may be because of the the frequency of the signal u r receiving in ur country. elf and elfin are triband phones.. they dont have a frequency range of 850 Mhz .. may be ur provider is giving the signal in that frequency.. try with gsm sim of other service provider may be it will help u...
thanks alot but i think my phone now is blacklisted cause as i remember i came to turkey before long time and it was working but now it is not anymore even i tried different sim cards like vodafone and turkcell but in vain. i have other phone am using now and i registered it on my passport it is working but i want to use my elf actually i dont wanna use other phone cause i love that phone that is all.
first unlock your device, then install the newest radio.
