By using random flashes and flexes, ive managed to get my done locked to a service provider in which i have no idea....
Is there a way to find out WHO exactly my fone is locked to...
Heres wat happened:
Quote: Hi ppl.
I have read this thread so many times, but still cant find my answer?
I have a v220, locked (was locked?) to the Virgin Network
Heres what ive done:
Initially i tried to unlock my fone, simply by using the unlocker, however i soon became aware that this wasnt working as i had s/w version r365.
I degraded my fone to s/w version r364 and ran the unlocker program again. The fone was unlocked, and i was able to use other carriers sim cards in it.
Next, i stupidly upgraded it again to r365, however, it wasnt the same flash file as i originately had, but rather i dl'ed from the net.
Unfortunately, this once again locked my fone, but because it was not the original flash, i now cant even use the sim card that came with my fone !!!
Im figuring that my fone is locked to the network for which i have the flash file i downloaded.
This scared me off at first, but i thought that i could just do as i did before, and degrade and once again unlock my fone.
However, when i tried this, it didnt work.
I have tried at least 6 times, upgrading, degrading via flash, and attempting to unlock it.
Every time, i get the dredaded message i have learned to hate, Contact Service Provider.
Then i figured that it maybe had something to do with my flex, so i put another flex onto my fone, degrading and tried again, with no luck at all.
So as you can see, it really sucks as i cant use ANY sim in my fone atm.
Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated.
Im under the impression i sort of have to reset the entire fone, including all software to default?
However i have no backup files at all.
