W880i No Network coverage

Hi

I'm fairly new to the forum and wondered if anyone out there could help? I've got a W880i unlocked and debranded, the problem is that that it shows as no network coverage, even though I know my network covers my area as I have 2 other phones, both Se and 1 is another w880i and they both recieve a signal just fine.

When I switch the phone on it shows no signal but after 3-5 minutes I get 5 bars but still the message NO NETWORK COVERAGE still show and can't make/receive calls or texts.

I've done everything I can in regards to updating and flashing the phone, the only other thing I can think of is the antenna but unsure how to proceed with that. The phone has no warranty (second hand) so return/replacement/fix is not an option. Any information greatly appreciated

Thanks

maybe the problem is with a simcard? Did you try to switch simcards between phones?
It sounds like your simcard is no active...

The sim card is fine it works in my other phones (another W880i and a W950i)

Well, in this case, are you sure it's unlocked?
try < * * < sequense and see if all the locks there are open...

try to reflash it has it only just been unlocked ?

Thanks all. It's definately unlocked, been flashed, just stuck now!!!!

The thing is, that if it was unlocked by patch, after flashing it goes off, so you need to apply patch or insert the unlock code again!
I saw it happend on K800i and this was the problem exactly.

It wasn't unlocked by patch, it was a full unlock. Tried 3 different network providers, all sims are accepted but shows either "emergancy calls only" or "no network coverage". Think it has to be a fault with the phone. I'll take it to a shop and have them take a look at it. Thanks for the tips though

Goog luck with that, I hope they won't charge you much for that.
Before going and paying money, I would try to flash it couple more time with different firmware each time, maybe the problem is with the files you flashed it with.

I appreciate what you're saying but the problem was there before it was flashed. Got a feeling it's the antenna but with this phone I don't know enough to mess around with it. I'll give it a go as I can't gey it to a shop til next week so may as well have a play, it's pretty much a brick now anyway, I can't do any more to hurt it!!!

Thanks guys

Than you can do full flash (MAIN, FS and CUSTPACK),but to be sure post log from XS++ here without IMEI number and somebody will help you to find wright files for flashing
