Issues with magician after unlocking

[NxJay]

Hi, just got an MDA compact that was sim-locked to T-Mobile

After reading thru this forum i unlocked it on http://www.imei-check.co.uk

Only now i can use EVERY other UK SIM card inside it apart from virgin mobile. Every time i stick a virgin SIM inside it, i get the message "call ended" when i try to dial any number from the MDA and the message "calls are currently not being connected to this number" when i dial the MDA from another phone

Now i know it's not an issue with the SIM card because the virgin SIM works fine in my XDA 2 and in any other phone, so i'm guessing it's an issue with the MDA itself.

Has anyone else had problems like this with the MDA compact and if so, how did you resolve them?

Also this unit won't let me flash it with a new OS, every time i extract the original ROM, NTRW.exe gives me the message "OriginalROM.nb1 cannot be read - the file exists". Any help on this would be greatly appreciated too

OS ROM: 1.01.00 WWE
Radio ROM: 1.00.10
D (no idea what this is): 1337.36

okay, starting to think the MDA i found has been reported lost or stolen.

I'm guessing the reason that i keep getting the message "call ended" is due to the fact that virgin mobile piggybacks the T-Mobile network and so virgin was blocked off as well since T-Mobile blocked the IMEI. (I don't want to try to risk putting in a T-Mobile SIM in the phone so i'm not sure)

I can't return the phone to it's owner either since the MDA was wiped clean when i got it (owner musta forgot to charge it).

Ah well it still makes a good PDA

Well that's solved the problem of the "call ended" message. Anyone else who has that message after buying a phone off the net, you probably bought one that was nicked and resold.

It will be blocked on all networks unfortunately, only good as a phone outside UK so at least you can use it on holiday abroad. :)
