Do you have a G4 or G3 device? What ROM version do you have? We'll take it from there.

installed this ROM lastly :

KJAM_ROM_1010903_103_10110_cdl_me_ship

While your KJAM rom is 1.01, why don't you try using the Button ROM just to see if it makes a difference.

No clue about the SIM Lock error though. You can use lockiwiz .3 to do the SIM Unlock to see if that fixes that issue, then go back to trying the CID Unlock with .2b.

thnx for concern mfrazzz .. u mean i should try the oldest ROM available ? i tried so & no use ,,,,

i tried .3 Lockiwz version .... problem still exists :(

Bummer... Ok, I just did a google search on your message and found this form Howard Forums:
The data crash message means that the encryption block controlling the simlock is damaged.

That should not be possible, but it apparently IS possible, because you're not the first person who's had it happen.

What I would attempt to do to recover is:

1. Take OUT the SIM card.
2. Bring up the phone in boot loader mode.
3. Reflash an official RUU that matches the phone (T-Mobile US) OR restore an SD image that matches the phone (T-Mobile US)

See if that works. If it DOES, then use the Lokiwiz again BEFORE you go screwing around with anything new. If it does NOT, then attempt the RUU to the Qtek or Imate ROM, again, with card out, and see if THAT one can be booted.
There was no indication in the thread if this worked or not, but its something else to try.

Hope that works for you (or lets you make progress).

FYI: Here's a link to the thread Google put me in where I found this. Just do a search on "data crash" in your browser on this thread and you can read from there down (for aways). I didn't dig real far though.

i searched the forum & found that post
Just in case everyone is wondering what I did before I decided to pay for the IMEI and wanted to try before buying a program...

Having the 2.17 ROM installed when I started to have this problem, I first decided to try the method suggested here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50768

That still came up with the "Data crashes..." error with both T-Mo and Cingular SIM cards inserted. The same as the method in the above link (Lokiwiz3a, etc...).

So then I decided to try an alternative method followed by in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848

Which involves downgrading, then unlocking, then upgrading. Also with no luck on removing the "Data crashes..." error. I tried inserting my SIM after the downgrade and running Lokiwiz02b and still same error message.

Then I finally broke down and paid for the IMEI unlock program as posted in this thread (suggested by meschle, and in many other threads):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43319

If the two previous methods mentioned before the pay method do not work and you decide to pay for the IMEI unlock mentioned: PLEASE follow jt_armstrong's advice (mentioned in above post) for obtaining your phones IMEI # when ordering the program!!

Since I did it as a last resort, it was already too late for me to obtain the IMEI from my phone as the pay website suggests (dial *#06# on your phone). This is due to when I insert my SIM the "Data crashes..." message comes up and there is no way I could obtain my IMEI without looking at the label behind my battery.

All is well now after running the $38 program. I finally realized (with the help of the previous posters, and other threads in this great forum!!) I have exhausted all other options.

Unless you can wait for someone to come up with a definitive solution to this rare (from what I have read) problem, I highly recommend using IMEI unlocking program. I have been trying to find a solution for about 5 days in the forums and this was my last resort...


will the IMEI unlock program work with my Imate kjam ?
