 Posted: 23:39 - 24 Aug 2006  Post subject: Blocked Phone [HELP!] |
 |
|
Ok right i have a motorola v220 now,
Basically i managed to block it earlier by accident, it now says "contant service operator" when it is turned on...
This has happened before and we have a load of numbers on a sheet of paper in the phone box, but i dont have a clue which one it would be as i cant remember what an unblock code looks like for these phones...
Does anyone have any ideas? Would it be the 5 digit number? or the 1300000 digit number  im confused, and would like to get it sorted out tonight, rather than call up orange tomorow morning

depends cause if its the 1st part of the blocking then its usually a 4 digit code & if you aint changed it then its a default of either 1234,0000, OR if 5 digit then 12345,00000
if its the 2nd part blocked(meaning you've tried the 1st one 3 times) then you have to contact your provider

Ok let me clear this up a little...
It wasnt blocked by entering a pin code wrong...
It was blocked when trying to enter a "Subsidary Code" which is basically motorola's simlock code...
So i had the phone unblocked, then flashed it up to a higher software version and now i cant flash unlock it any more, ended up dialing in a few wrong numbers into the "Enter subsidary code" bit and now all i get is "Contact Service Operator"

There seem to be a few people had the same problem with that phone, and a few walkthroughs of how to unlock it by downgrading the firmware. Here is one:
https://nokiafree.org/forums/showthread.php?t=72142&page=2
Specifically (use at your own risk):
| Quote: | Padiel and other folks,
I managed to unlock my Motorola V220 with R365 software and so decided to write a little step-by-step showing all difficulties I had to downgrade my V220 and unlock it. I hope this may clear 99% of the problems people are experiencing.
Starting: I have a Motorola V220 bought at Vodafone PT (268-001) with software version R365_G_0B.D2.23R. After extensive testing and reading, I observed that no free unlocker could do the job for my phone (and other V220 R365 phones too) so I decided to downgrade the software to a version that is known to be able to be unlocked.
I downloaded the R364_G_0B.D1.1AR_LP0016_DRM0001_JPG_0B_V220_02_02_ 52R_GSIV220T672AE0A6_1FF.zip, R364_G_0B.D1.1AR_B_LP0003_DRM0001_GMIV180001AA0B7_ image.rar and R364_G_0B.D1.09R_LP002E_DRM0001_JPG_0B_V220_06_00_ 45R_SE8509AXXU1098_1FF_reflash.rar packages. At first I tried to use the R364_G_0B.D1.09R_LP002E file, but after flashing the phone won't boot up normally: instead, the phone only booted to the flash screen. Later I reflashed with the R364_G_0B.D1.1AR_B_LP0003, this time the phone booted normally but in complex chinese! (shame on me, that I didn't check out the Language Pack 0003 in this file ). Finally I flashed with the R364_G_0B.D1.1AR_LP0016 file and right after flashing I unlocked with the unlocker.
So, here is the step-by-step to downgrade and unlock a Motorola V220 R365 phone:
List of softwares that I used:
Motorola PST 6.9.2 with patch to 6.7 installed
Motokit suite
R364_G_0B.D1.1AR_LP0016_DRM0001_JPG_0B_V220_02_02_ 52R_GSIV220T672AE0A6_1FF.zip (contains the flash file in the 0016 language pack)
1. Download the Motorola PST 6.7 or newer (I use 6.9.2), [bold]and[/bold] the PST 6.7 patch too (even if your version is newer than 6.7). Install PST (by default installation will occur in \Program Files\Motorola\PST folder). The patch must be installed in the same folder as the PST, overwriting any files the system asks to.
2. Go to the folder where PST is installed and run MultiFlashFlex.exe (i will call it MFF from now on)
-> Installing the patch will stop the error messages that MFF displays when the patch is not present.
3. Once open, find in the MFF window the section Preferences. Make sure that the boxes 'Override existing phone software even if it is newer than the superfile software', 'Master Clear phones after flexing' and 'Master Reset phones after flexing' [bold]are marked[/bold] and that the box 'Simultaneously power down all phones' is left [bold]unchecked[/bold].
4. In the section Flash Setup, check the box Enable Flash and point out to the flash file you have downloaded and unpacked previously. In the section Flex Setup leave the box unchecked and do not select any flex file in here.
5. You're ready to begin flasing. Cross your fingers and click Start. The process took me 3 minutes. After this the phone was restarted and boot up normally. Right before even entering the SIM code, I switched the phone off and then to the flash mode and used the unlocker. DONE! The phone was unlocked.
Notes:
A) This procedure was done to a Motorola V220 R365 phone. I cannot guarantee that this will work with phones with different softwares.
B) I cannot guarantee that this will work to a V180 phone, although there is a great chance that this works. Try at your own risk
C) If you decide to follow this procedude, make sure you are aware that you will lose some functions of your phone that are related to new versions of software, like the IM menu, saving SMS to the phone memory, SMS delivery notifications, Java App loader (if you enabled it before) and some Java Applications too. I solved almost all of this issued by editing a seem file (except the IM menu).
D) Also, make sure you backup your phone software by using Motokit Suite or other software that is capable of packing a flex from directly the phone.
E) This procedure can void your warranty and damage your phone irreparably so do it at your own risk
Best regards from Brazil. |
