"Inactive sim" - GSM-Forum

big-bandit · 05-23-2012, 20:52

Hello,

I am a new member and hoping someone can help with a problem i am having.

Have just purchased the 4SE dongle and successfully unlocked a K770I, K800I and a K810I.

On 2 other K800I i have flashed the firmware with success but when i put the sim in it reads "inactive sim" and i have tried 3 different sims and always the same message, the sims work perfectly in my other phones so i know its not a sim card fault.

If someone could help then i would be grateful.

Thank you

SE MAN · 05-23-2012, 20:55

Phone is blocked/barred

Hi, you need to unlock these phones and flash with not operator specific FW

Thanks for message,

I did unlocked the phones and then i flashed with this firmware; cid53 red R8BF003 GENERIC UK CDA102511/2 R8BF003_CXC1250210_GENERIC_WI

Then i got the "inactive sim" message, before i used the 4se the phones were locked to vodafone and working with a vodafone sim.

Hope this extra info helps

Hi
Inactive SIM appears on the network name area?
Then check your card reader and simcard
Clean it or try another working SIM card

As SE Man said. Your phone is BARRED/Blacklisted. its got nothing to do with software or hardware.

spitroastxxx · 05-25-2012, 10:13

Has said before on SE handsets inactive sim means either its barred or the sim has expired

is a2 imei repair possible?

**darkmen** · 05-25-2012, 20:28

The is no IMEI change option available for A2 in 4SE
There is nothing to recover, because unlike Qualcomm, here IMEI is in OTP.

Hello
Simply check your phone by these
right, *, left, left, *, left, *.
then go to Service info and check simlock status
if you see LOCKED this mean its SPlocked and if its UNLOCKED then your phone is bricked
