Hi I have recently flashed my 8210 using Jethro and a set of Dejan flasher cables. The phone was originally locked to Orange. Now when I try and put my orange sim card in it says sim card registration failure. How do I totally erase the eeprom and get myself on the blower ?? Any help would be appreciated..Thanks
 
I have also been told that it might bee locked by its Imo number..Is this true and is there anything that canbe done about it??
 
Its more likely that the phone is barred on the network by orange. This may be for several reasons ie reported lost... I you use the dejan unlocker you will be able to use it on the other networks without any problems. <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
 
was the phone found or brought from new? if u aquired it through other channels then it could have been blocked on the Orange network. Is it fine on the other networks?
 
If you back up the phone first using your cable then totally erase it, rewrite your backup to the phone then unlock it it should work on any network but only pay as you go on orange, if it was a contract phone on orange it will work on all other networks apart from orange as they can block the EMEI number and to get around this you may as well get a new phone cos its really hard work
