Unlocked ZTE Blade refuses T-mobile & Orange sim after 1year usage

[Guest siqass]

if such problem was resolved anywhere in the forum would appreciate the link

my unlocked Orange San Francisco (AKA Zte Blade) started to behave weirdly,

after a year of flawless usage on Tmobile pay monthly it refuses to receive texts calls,

when i'm trying to call straight away says "call ended", cant send texts either.

Bizarrely internet works fine (using Tmobile data)

When I put same Tmobile sim in another phone it works fine so I thought the phone is playing up.

However I tried to put my Vodafone pay monthly sim and phone works perfect.

Went to Orange shop and they refuse to look at it as it was unlocked not by them and guy

did guessed that phone could be blacklisted or something (initially I bought phone from

online Orange shop, never been stolen, reported etc, so makes little sense).

In Tmobile shop they could not help either as pay monthly sim worked in their phone.

Phone is rooted and is running Ginger Stir Fry Beta 21

kernel version 2.6.35.7-perf+

zte-kernel@zdroid-SMT

android version: 2.3.4

Gen2

I tried different newer rom, still same

can someone enlighten as I ran out of ideas

thanks

Ditto, in the same boat.

Put simply your handset IME is on an Orange IME blacklist.

It has probably been this way for several months but with using a T-Mobile sim you have been none the wiser, till this Everything, Everywhere merger that is.

Return it to a stock orange UK rom. Have you still got the orange sim card? Ring orange directly and prove purchase

[Guest aaujt74]

Did you unlock it before activating (or never activated) the orange sim that came with it?
