O2 XDA EXEC wont except Vodafone after unlock?

[ronnie5]

Hello all, I got a O2 XDA EXEC in post today which I bought off Ebay for £30 which only ended up having a scratched screen! I have installed radio ROM 0.00.00 and then used Buzz's unlocker twice which said it unlocked but doesent take my Vodafone sim which is all I have at the moment. I then installed radio ROM 1.18 hopeing it will work but it dident!
So I decided to install Tomal's - v8.2: WM6.1 Pro havent had a good look at it yet but looks good!.
If anyone can tell me a way of getting this Vodafone sim to work that would be great!

Hi,
you have to remove the sim and switch the airplane mode OFF BEFORE the entire procedure. Remember to soft reset the device after running the Buzz unlock tool, so, these are the steps, flash the radio 0.00.0, soft reset, run the tool and wait the succesful message, soft reset and wait that it switch-on, NOW remove the battery, insert your sim and switch on again. In this way it must work, I've unlocked 3 universal with that tool.

Hello davideuck, That was the way I tried it but tried it 3 times again with no joy, The radio searches for a few seconds then comes up with no service. I am starting to wonder if this uni is going to receive any signal from any sim?? Like my M5000 before but that had no GSM which this one does have GSM.

Ok I have managed to get a new O2 sim card which I have put in the uni which does the same as the Vodafone sim... Nothing just has no service but does search for a signal every so often.
I have installed RADIO ROM 1.18 instead of the 0.00.00 and still does not receive a signal.
Im stuck now :( Is there any reason why this does this or is it never going to get a signal?

I have just phoned O2 to find out if my uni's blocked? not that they done any test but because I have tried 2 sims which work in other phones but not this one they say the problem is with the phone.
So looks like I have 2 useless uni's? Would I be able to repair the EXEC with parts from my M5000? ( M5000 had no GSM ) I have no idea what I would need to do but will try anything to get this working!

Would the O2 XDA EXEC original ROM sort this problem? This was already installed when I had it but dident work with Vodafone sim after unlocking.

I have installed the original O2 ROM which made no difference so went back to WM6.1.
I think there is something wrong internally?
