flashed ROM and locked SIM

Hi Krazy (see I wrote with K!) I flashed my P3400 to wm6.1 with the help of your guide and was a smash!!! many thanks for that.

But I was expecting that flashing the ROM the SIM lock would be removed… apparently it did not happen and it is still there asking me for the code (I am on my 5 try...)

Was I wrong? Do I have to do some more steps and now unlock the SIM? If so do you have the procedure? I have been browsing and nothing to unlock the P3400 (Gene 100)

Many thanks for all of you guys who are helping these poor lost ignorant souls...
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
OOPS! If I am not entirely wrong your phone is sim locked! And here we are talking about hard spl. If your phone was sim locked, you shouldn't have flashed it in the first place! @krazy : any ideas. Like in Vox, jockey can unlock sim locked Voxes, I don't know about Gene, you may pm him and ask his user id is jockyw2001. Ask him and see :confused:
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@Addicted2XDA: No man, no phone here in India comes sim locked, at least not in my region. May be the new diamonds that are shiping with IDEA sim are locked but personally i have never seen a sim locked phone. So cant say anything. But the person in concern, luissa01, may use this ID to contact that fellow from VOX forum to request some help.

PS: I updated post#3 to include a message about sim lock. I think, the users may skip FAQ section etc, but this one is a sureshot hit :D
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Hey, buddy, pple don't even mention their country in the profiles, so how would I know who comes from where :confused: :D
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
What to do man, ppl nowadays come here only to find quick solutions only. Nobody bothers about the forum :o At least 70% of the users here have not completed their profile to even 50%, let alone doing any development or helping it through feedbacks etc. XDA or at least GENE section is becoming a ROM repository-cum-Bricked Device Cure Center :(

Hey i knw its bad to downgrade a rom, does this also apply to flashin from 6.5 to a 6.1 rom?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
No it doesn't. 6.1 and 6.5 (if you consider it released :D ) are minor updates of Windows Mobile 6.0 so switching between these is not a problem. The problem happens with WM 5. It should not be a problem with that too, but the manufacturer's roms of WM 5 include spl and onbl modules which corrupt the phone severly. Otherwise, if you can even get a WM 5 ROm with only OS in it, like the roms for gene that i create, you wont have any problem. But for WM5, custom ROM s are rare, only manufacturer roms are available which are dangerous.

[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Is your Gene a New one or an old one?

If your Gene is bricked after doing a olip SPL update, probably your Gene is old. As I have seen with one of my colleague's Gene that after doing the olip SPL update, Gene boots perfectly with the original ROM.

You need to go to the next step and use the update to update your SPL to orefkov. After that flash your Gene with a ROM for New Gene.

But first be certain that you HAVE a new Gene. Hope you have tested that before trying to flash?

new rom downloaded

i already did, ultmate v6 by karanz

why is it not showing it..

thats probably the reason why im just stuck on the splash screen, cuz i flashed it with nothing

thing is when i take out/delete the ruu (rom file) to the rom update utility folder, it will not allow me to flash since it cant detect a ROM file

:(

Hi, @ALL DEVELOPERS!

I have sucessfully flashed my ROM, but i am facing a small problem after flashin i installed Genique (ROM) but i am unable to see my sim contacts, when i inserted my sim in other mobile i am able to see all my contacts. This is not only with this ROM i installed other ROM's(WM 6.5) too, of other chefs, still i am facing the same problem. And when i insert my other sim card in my gene i am able to see the sim contacts, that strange!:confused:

What's the reason behind this?

Can this issue be solved?

Didn't get any error while flashing any ROMs.

(Please reply ASAP, that would be really appreciable.)

Thanks.

thanx a lot guys keep the gud work going...:):)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
If the contacts are appearing on inserting other sim cards with the same ROM then probably the contacts memory of your sim card is damaged, get it replaced as soon as possible as the card will develop more problems in future like messages not storing in sim card and loss of signals abruptly. it happened once with me too.

If none of the sim cards are showing contacts, then its just a registry key problem. Use Schaps Advance Configuration tool available in this forum (just use search) to enable showing of sim card contacts in the contacts application.
[P3400 ROM Development] wilder57:
No, other sims are working fine on my gene.

Thanks for the prompt reply, i'll replace my sim asap.

Thank you very much.:):):)
[P3400 ROM Development] wilder57:
But just one thing, why my sim is working fine on other mobile? Is it really damaged as it is working fine on other mobiles?

(ie. i am able to see my contact list on other phones)

Is there any chance that flashing has damaged my sim?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Well try to see if its working on another Windows Mobile phone or not. If its working on others, then something else is wrong with ur mobile. Flashing has nothing to do with it, the process is completely safe and nothing touches the sim while flashing. While flashing, only a EEPROM chip gets erased and rewritten, thats it. SIM is way too away from it.
[P3400 ROM Development] wilder57:
Ok, i will try and do that.

Thanks, for replying.

After running the gene_hspl.exe my P3400 just got blank and did not restart, not even blinking any green/red buttons.

So I guessed I have the wrong version, and brought it to the boot loader mode. It shows SPL 1.10.Olip. Then I connect USB. It shows "USB" in the bottom of the phone. Then I run the Mtty1_42.exe. But there is no USB listed here. I type USB and press enter, but is says "can't open the port". I try the "COM1", but can't type anything in the window what comes. I can't type anything here. If I type, no character appears.

What can I do now? Feeling so upset for the phone.

Please help. Thnx!
