I unlocked my Orange UK-locked P910i using PBB v1.2 software, but now just get a "Wrong SIM card | Insert correct SIM" message at power up (after I've entered my SIM lock PIN). (This is using the same SIM that I've used happily for the last 9 months.)

Yet the PBB software reported that the unlock operation was "successful". What's gone wrong? How do I fix this?

TIA.

I didn't think The PBB software worked with P910! - only P900 I think.

There was a thread about this on here a little while ago IIRC... Perhaps try a search - or gbrooks3 @ www.se-nse.com might be able to shed some light on what has happened.

i had that problem on my p900 ... only i didn't try to unlock it.
it shut off suddenly (battery dead), upon restart, it wouldn't accept my SIM card that has been used for a year without any problems.

had to bring it to SE service center and convince them that i didn't try to unlock it.

When I look at the 'SIM Locks' page under the Service menu, I see green *closed* padlocks and a '0' (ie, zero) against each of the four categories (Network, Network subset, Service provider, Corporate).

So the phone's not unlocked, right?

But on a (possible) brighter note, I have been able to read off a set of NCK, NSCK, etc codes from the PBB software. Now, what can I do with them?

That means that all locks are closed and there are no more tries left. I would talk to Gbrooks3 as he is the expert on these things.

Okay, have got access to the "SIM-ME depersonalize" menu (jog down, *, *, down), and can see where to enter the codes I've got.

But ... of course I've got no more tries left (hence the '0's being displayed next to the locks on the Service Menu).

So the next Q is -- how can I reset the number of tries??

PBB is a buggy and nasty thing, dont rely upon it. However, instead of reading codes, try rebuilding security area in the repair tab. Phone must be unlocked after....

Thanks for the input. Did this, but still no joy Yet the PBB software again reported that the rebuild operation was "successful" ...

I was the one to post this last week http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=101541
We've got exactly the same problem and I still haven't got a clue how to fix it, Total server have credit my account again to try but I'm afraid of trying it because i think it won't make any difference and i'll lose the credit again. have you found a fix?
