[resolved] A SIM-unlocking that does not go through (when it should)

[Popersman]

While i guess that my problem may have an answer somewhere deep in this forums, the hours that i spent reading here did not allow me to find what is happening with my phone.

I have: An Orange M3100 (yes, it is an hermes).

I upgraded my phone (in the order) to:
-HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a
-Hard-SPL-V7
-CRC_r9.2

It now displays:
Rom: CRC r9.2
Radio: 1.16.00.00
Protocol: 32.53.7018.01H
IPL-1.01 (i'm not sure this is useful)
SPL-1.40.Olipro

I did not test the SIMlock the first time i runned the unlock process, and did the hard SPL and installation of CRC 9.2 right after (love the new ROM btw).

I have done the unlocking process both by USB (manual way) and Memory card (nbh file on memory card), and everytime it tells me it is a success.
However it keeps asking me for the simlock code once i reboot and install my simcard.

Any suggestion?

Many Thanks,
Ed

Is this SIMLock code you require one that allows you to use SIM cards from different carriers??

The sim card you have put in has the lock enabled, you gotta put your PIN code in. The device would say incompatible sim if the unlocker hadnt worked.

Thank you for your answers.
The sim card i use is a taiwanese one. Taiwan is a lucky place where sim-locking does not exist! So i believe the problem did not come from this.
Out of perserverance, i tried again and again, and i believe that leaving the simcard in the phone while flashing might have made a difference, since it finally works!

Thanks XDA-Developers for all the info, and keep up the good work!

I forgot to mention that, previously, when i would enter my pin code, it would then ask me for my "unlock code".
