[Q] Need help, bricked/nonworking WIFI after succesful sim-unlock

---

Hi guys,
i used a sim unlock code to unlock the ATT locked Atrix 4g, for use with a european sim card (mobitel, slovenia). it unlocked fine and i could call, but the wifi stopped working it just didnt scan/find or even connect to remembered wifis (home router), which worked perfectly before the unlock. so than i thought it might help to factory reset it, and now the problem persists and i cant even finish the wizard, cuz it wouldnt connect to the cellular (which we have 2g and 3g here) and the wifi has the same problems (so initially it finds all wlans, than after like a few secs it looses them all, i can turn off the wifi and turn it on again and the same thing happens). so i am wodering if anyone has any idea how i could rescue the phone ...
thanks in advance

ok guys i did a hard reset and put in a nonworking sim (doesnt connect to network) and i got the wifi back to working and managed to activate motoblur again. so after that ive put my working sim card in again (3g+ hsdpa+ able), and the wifi stops to work again/behaves the same as i described before. terrible ... anyone has an idea how to fix that ?

ok, more problems, now after ive put the working sim inside and the wifi stopped working, i tried with the nonworking sim (that wifi worked great before with), and the wifi isnt working with the sim it was working before either and even if i try without any sim it doesnt work... ill try with a third sim now and if it wont work ill hard reset it again

Same problem

I have the same exact issue. Anyone know what to do? I can't imagine that this is "bricked" because everything else works fine... thoughts?

where did you guys get the unlock code from?

Actually, I have a similar problem. After entering unlock code the phone accepts my SIM card, but I cannot activate 3G connection. GSM is working, try to call my other phone. APN settings are correct.
In the "hidden" settings menu (*#*#4636#*#*) I cannot chose between radio bands, but only the USA radio band.
Any ideas? Will I need to root it or even put a custom ROM (if it exists)?

So you guys used an unlock code from someone other than the carrier and are now having issues?

Wish I could help on this one. If you used an unlock code from someone other than the carrier, I would contact motorola support.

If you used a piece of software, I would wager that the software broke something and you might as well warranty return it for another.

Don't be offended, but I don't think this is the case. AT&T locked their phone to their network with standard network code (as seen in many other phones for years) so that "alien" SIM card would not work. But, additionally, since the AT&T has some value added services on their data plan (like wifi tethering) they made some accommodations (read: locked parts of the android configuration).

I am not a developer, this is just my guess, but it seams sane and probable.

No offense taken. This is why I asked about a program. Using an unauthorized code to unlock it may over write a.setting or file. Its also possible that someone broke something using adb.

Best solution, warranty it and try again
