Cant Unlock T-mobile MDA compact -now wont work - pls help

[loadedfish]

Hi,

I recently purchased a second hand MDA compact that was locked to T-mobile. After using the "all in one simlock tool" (from this site) I tried my vodafone sim card and it stated "invalid or missing sim". After various soft resets and hard resets and re-running the tool it would still not recognise my vodafone sim.

I then tried a friends contract t-mobile sim card in my phone to make sure all was well and it asked for the pin number. My friend entered his pin and it came up "Phone locked please enter PUK code". My friend then put his sim card back in his phone and enetered his pin as normal and all was working fine ? I have tried this several time with t-mobile sims and the same happens to them all but when put back in their normal phones everything works as normal.

I have even called t-mobile for help (no laughing please) and as you guessed I got no further forward.

Appologies if this is a widely covered topic or in the wrong section, i have searched and read loads of stuff but I am still stuck.

Please help me to unlock phone...

Try this:

With the phone off, press the camera button and hold it in
Now press the power button for 5-10 seconds
Let go the power button

If the screen comes up with 3 color bars, connect the phone to your computer and run your favorite firmware.

Let us know the results...

Hi all,

I would be very interested in knowing the result of this last advice you gave as i am fighting to unlock my SPV3000 from Orange and may end up locking it with PUK request at the end... :-)

Anyway, my question before I reach this stage is: What are you really talking about when you say "Run firmware"?

Do you mean flash your PPC again with a ROM like Mr Clean one or is it something else? And where should we find such firmware?

Just in case I may have to follow your advice soon... ;-)
