hi m8, you don't need to flash when you unlock using eeprom tools. it automatically resets and updates the unit. i've tried it so many times and works fine with me.

if it says "sim card not accepted" and four locks closed then:
1. click on repair imei, turn off the unit
2. click on unlock, turn off...
3. click on update... this is how it works for me. :-)

Maybe you have done a full factory reset? if this is the case, or with the full flashes you used you may have erased the rf factory config data from the (emulated) eeprom, causing it to have no signal.

Or possibly, and perhaps more likely the phone has been blacklisted by the network(s) ((I hear that the networks are now starting to share their blacklist databases))

I cant recommend trying to change the imei, because its illegal, but supposing you did, that may fix it

Would flashing a virgin epprom to it help and it's not blacklisted

if u are sure its not blacklisted then i wouldnt recommebd flashing the eeprom area because there is (or should be) cofig rx tx tuning data there from the factory. having said that, if nothing else works you cant really lose anything can you?
