Guest george109 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 If you enter the PIN or PUK wrong too many times, the phone gets locked / Blocked from use, to unlock you need to call your network providers help line and ask for the PUK ("P U K" not "Puck" :P ) but if you are talking about a SIM block, this is where the phone is "locked" to only be used on one network. This is usually because the network provider sells phones with a discount and paying for a contract / topping ip conves the cost, and pays back the expense usually within a year.

Guest sharkyo01 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Makes sense, the silly thing is it sim blocked on the IMEI 0 my bad keep updating and degrading hoping i will fix this sd problem. So if i rewrite the correct IMEI the phone it will sorted the problem out? Thanks for the fast reply... But I thought my phone was "puck"! Wrote the IMEI to it still comes up unlock SIMBLOCK. Even tried changing the Sim Card... in deeper shite then i thought. Edited April 19, 2013 by sharkyo01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(O2 / GiffGaff doesn't) If you follow this guide, you can fix your IMEI and also unlock your phone too. Edited April 19, 2013 by george109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest george109 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 The sdcard is a problem with all stock ROMs, I would recommend CyanogenMod 9, as that is a "clean" ICS ROM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in to my phone and it plays up like a so badly. Put a different SD card in and nothing happens so its no the phone! Hence my why I am confused... **-Just an update... My phone does not even turn on any more... So guess am ringing up Hauwei tomorrow morning to send it off. Am not taking it back to vodafone because the last one i took back with dust under the screen there went all funny about it!-** Edited April 21, 2013 by sharkyo01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My phone does not even turn on any more... So guess am ringing up Hauwei tomorrow morning to send it off. Am not taking it back to vodafone because the last one i took back with dust under the screen there went all funny about it!-** First try this: 1. Turn Off the phone, and unplug it. 2. Take out the battery 3. Plug it in. See if that "revives" it... also, I would take it back to the shop, as from what I hear, Huawei support is not the best to say the least! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sharkyo01 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Well had it 28 days tomorrow, returned one and it had dust under the screen after 3 days and have to say vodafone where not happy to say the least! Been trying to load in to cwm which is installed and no luck at all. So what do you think take it back to the shop? Dunno how there going to take it! Any help on what to say?

Guest george109 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 If they get fussy at the shop, say this: Under the Supply of Goods & Services Act 1982; This item is of an unsatisfactory quality and unfit for purpose (as it does not turn on). By refusing a refund/exchange, you are denying me my statutory rights, and breaking the law. That usually gets me a replacement/ refund! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sharkyo01 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) http://whatconsumer....bit-chargeback/ Seems I can! Any amount of money on a visa debit. Worth spreading the word that is well worth knowing... "But did you know that you can also claim the money back if you have paid on your Visa Debit card? And unlike your credit card, which imposes a minimum spend of £100, you can claim back any amount of money."
