Very wierd problem ... any experts fancy a challenge? - GSM-Forum

porac69 · 01-18-2008, 02:56

Hi Everyone,

Please help ... appologies if posted in the wrong place but I thought this would be the best for this problem.

My phone (imate pda2) started acting strangely: no matter what sim card I put in it, it will not complete outgoing calls (they go immediately to call ended) nor accept incoming calls. Calls to emergency numbers work though.
I have reloaded/upgraded the firmware ROM directly from i-mate's website but it didnt help.

I was woundering if maybe a virus could have caused this or more probably a cid lock or blacklist of my imei for some unexplainable reason ...
Any ideas? Im at a dead end ...

I have looked on this forum for similar posts but found nothing so any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks alot,
Porac69

This happens when
1. Your phone is reported STOLEN and network has barred the IMEI from hooking up on any network.
2. Your GSM radio is screwed
3. Any hard ware damage

Solution
1. Buy a new set(or change IMEI which is illegal)
2. Googling the latest bug free radio update for your device
3. Contact vendor for hardware checkup
4. Fresh/latest Rom upgrade might help.
GOOD LUCK
