So far, I've tried flashing it using XS++, SeTool Lite and FAR with Simox' patchgenerator. I've flashed MAIN, FS and rewritten the GDFS to no avail; no matter how I combine, I end up at "Inactive SIM" after entering the PIN, when the phone has finished searching. I've had the IMEI-register checked, and there are no remarks. I've also tried multiple SIMs, but no change, so problem appears to be in phone. I bought it over Ebay, locked to Three. Any ideas?
No way to use any other THREE USIM. Only work the three-usim originaly included in the retail box. You must wait 12 months to use other three-network sim.
If you already patched the phone with "Simox patcht" ypu can use other network sim (Vodafone... etc..)
Sounds a real shame 3 are notorious for doing stuff like that. Ive unlocked two w850's using the .vkp patch method.
When patching with Simox' patch, both SETool and FAR-manager reports success. Nevertheless, phone displays "Inactive SIM." I'm in Norway, on a different network and provider than the phone originally was. Naturally, I've tried different providers' SIMs. I have no Three SIM. Under "SIM Lock" the phone states it is completely unlocked, e.g. five unlocked padlocks.
It maybe stole?? In this case the IMEI maybe blacklisted and any access blocked by all provider...
Nopes, I've had it checked two times.
Just to say i unlocked a w880i (locked to t-mobile) today and with an orange sim card in it, it displays 'inactive sim' but with a vodafone or o2 it works. There must be something the patch generator is overlooking. Maybe a few more values need to be changed? Correct me if i sound stupid. Please.
If it comes to it you can always ask 3 for an unlock code
Well, Three tells me to contact the guy who sold me the phone for him to authorize them to unlock it. And then, I'm still supposed to have a Three SIM-card in the phone, which I don't have. And even then, it my reluctance to bend to the phone company's will and not do with my phone as I please.

Perhaps you have a point. From their history, it seems Orange and Three are a little tricky about unlocking.
i think the patch is not fully compactible with your phone or should i say firmware... if you go through the threads you may see post of people saying they successfuly unlock their phone with this say patch. every time i read a post i get confuse, one says it works the other says no.
Benalvino: Haven't seen anyone claim an unlock on a w850 locked to Three yet, and I haven't seen anyone try either.
Did you clean the gold part of the SIM card?
It showed up like that, when I put my fingerprint on it.
i think it's black listed
93bh: Tried cleaning the connectors, but no change.
Pakkiz: I've had it checked twice against the IMEI-register. This I stated at the beginning of the thread.
I just found out that when doing <**< repeatedly after applying the Simox-patch, I get alternating lock-statuses. Sometimes appearing as completely unlocked, and at other times partially locked, either to network or NSCK. However; when doing <*>>*>*, I always get the same display; all five locks shown as unlocked. And the phone still won't make calls or send SMSes, displaying "Inactive SIM" on startup.
Have you checked if the phone has an extended lock?
Well your phone is unlocked but can't register to network or refuse to register. If the phones was locked u will get "Insert Correct SIM" message. Inactive SIM is when the SIM card can't register to network or it's expired.
After Flashed My W850i It's Showing Now "Insert Correct SIM" & A Few Second Later My Moible Is Restart Atumeticaly.Bro Do U Have Any Solution???Quote:
