So I need some help on this one. I accidentally did a phone lock reset on my K850 using EMMA and now the phone won't accept any SIM cards whatsoever. When checking the "SIM lock" tab in the service menu, it shows a locked lock at all the different ones and a 0 (zero) to follow.
I know I can't use the Activation via EMMA. For some reason it simply doesn't show
Any advice?

I've had a look into things, and I don't think it's possible

Mizzle, dude, to me that sounds like huge bad news. Just to unlock the network thing can be enough of a pain the rear end. Do you know what the numbers to right of the lock/unlock symbols mean in service menu -> SIM lock? From my experience with flashing dvd/cd drives it suggests to mean the number of changes you're allowed to make to that section (usually 5). I wish I could help you but I'm not sure even SE will do it for you under warranty because you might've been playing with things that you weren't supposed to. Worth a try asking them though, maybe don't tell them exactly what you've done at first
.
Good luck with it.

EVERY type of lock is locked?? With 0 attempts left available??
Contact SE, I very much doubt there's anyone else(maybe SETool, but that's still only a maybe) that can do anything, unfotunately......
I've only ever seen ONE handset with ALL locks locked, didn't even dare try to unlock it......

I guess this pretty much speaks for itself...
An ordinary unlock won't do the trick, I guess? Think I'll just put it on the shelf then

I'm afraid it only happened because I wanted to get my hands on the new firmware before it got on SEUS. Thought I could flash it into an O2 branded firmware (that's the new one) and then the generic new firmware would be available. But didn't work, so I thought I'd try resetting it with EMMA. BAM! then this happened.
