W580i Unbelievable!!

Hi all,

I Flashed my W580i to debrand with some SE-NSE users help a few days ago.

Going a little bit further i searched and asked for help from them on how to remove this phone's simlock and everything seemed to work fine ( SEtool Reflashing: Main, FS, Custpack, FAR and jdflasher followed all the steps )

The simlock persisted after the patching so after 2 days searching i used Ultimate Unlocker and did a permanent unlock to my phone ... Result : Amaizingly NOT WORKING !

Well , Logs explain it better than me so here it goes (actual phone status logs):

So , resuming the situation about the phone :

- Inserting <**< i get Network = Unlocked , Subnetwork = Unlocked !

- When i remove my original SIM card in order to put a Vodafone card i get "Insert SIM card or view the phone demo" dialogue.

If i go to the secret menu -> * <- <- * <- * ->, Service Info, SIM Lock i get :
- Network (unlocked symbol) 3
-Subnetwork (unlocked symbol) 5
-Service Provider (unlocked symbol) 5
-Group (unlocked symbol) 5
-"Enlarged"?? (unlocked symbol) 5


I'm lost... Seems that the phone really is unlocked but no way i can make another sim to work on it....
Any Suggestions?


Regards,

may be your phone doesn't support the type of your sim. i had a problem too that inserting my airtel 128k, phone says insert sim card. i think you had the same problem, please verify that your sim is compatible with another w580

Hi ty for your reply riders4sia,

I've tried with different SIM's and the result is the same. I tried also reflashing it after using Ultimate Unlocker with Main+FS+Custpack and made the quick access patch and the vkp remove SIM Lock but still aint working !! Dont know what else to do... Unlockable phone ?

Just reflash your phone with MAIN,FS and CUSTPACK (don't apply QA patch or remove SIMLOCK ) and turn on phone and when you ask for SIM - first put original SIM and wait to download settings and then change SIM

or dont get all complicated and use the IMEI unlock code you can get from your service provider for free just tell them its cause you may go out of the country (roaming charges) if you alreay had unlocked your phone as u said RE-lock it and then use the unlock code.

<<* and make sure its the SUBSIDY code not the PUK

flash ur fone again with the original firmware, and c what happens

try what seamonkey said, if it didn't help, reflash your phone using setool1.11 and apply simlock patch and see if it work. have a nice day

try flashing it again with setool and check the bypass db2020 box and quick acsess box.see wut happens
