GSM-Forum - View Single Post - HELP - Huawei E156G error "Only the specified SIM/USIM card can be used..."

I got an error message of "Only the specified SIM/USIM card can be used on this device!" everytime I plug in my Huawei E156G modem. I have tried the SIM card in another modem (Sierra Compass 885) and it detects the card and connected to the internet succesfully.
I have also tried other SIM card in my E156G, and I got the same problem. So I think it is not the SIM card problem, but the modem.

Then I tried to update my E156G firmware. I got the NCK code and Flash code and when the firmware upgrade ask for a password, i entered the Flash code. The firmware upgrade was successful, but I still got the error message "Only the specified SIM/USIM card can be used..."

I have also tried to update the dashboard to Mobile Partner 11.030.01.04.03 but to no avail.

Does anybody know how to fix the problem?
Did I use the wrong code? (I used the Flash code instead of the NCK code)
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks
