I think there is no re-flash required. Just try to de-install smscon editor (because it depends on smscon) and then de-install smscon.

After de-installation you may even check if directory /opt/smscon exists and delete it.

Before doing all this, you might give a look at "Phone Settings" -> "Connection Settings" -> "Phone" -> scroll to the bottom to "SIM Card" and check if you selected "PIN code required". (the real english words my be different)

Yeah, I did all this but no success. I have the exact problem as here http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-1294745.html
"Unable to establish network connection. Contact service"

I think smscon is messing with the internal security of the phone. Seems to be corrupted simlock area.

Question to the developers: What exactly is smscon doing when it switches on the "stolen mode"? Does it write somewhere on the phone where reflashing is useless?

As fas as software is concerned this is true. It's what smscon has been developed for. If you had in mind to modify hardware or security-related controller chips: definitely not.

May be your phone has a hardware problem. May be its a problem with your provider. Its definitely not a smscon issue. Please deinstall smscon. Without smscon you may have better chance to find reason of problem with your phone.

No, it doesn't. IN NO CASE smscon writes somewhere on the phone where reflashing is useless. Switching to stolen mode simply erases the list of authorized SIM cards. This is a list introduced and maintained by smscon. The original phone does not know nor depend on this list.

@Mr. Incredible: just to clarify. If you reflashed fiasco and emmc then smscon should not be present. If it is then the reflash failed - AFAIK it should be clean slate system.
The lack of a pin request may well be the result of the sim card reader failure that started this - the fault may persist If the phone does not detect a sim then no pin request and it enters tablet mode.

This info may be of interest for some other users of smscon. Until yesterday I never managed to send emails from SMScon to my email account. I use a google mail account for that purpose. But then I tried to change the port of the smtp outgoing mail server from 465 to 587 and SMScon had success in sending out emails. :)

Well not anybody ported SMScon to Harmattan but is someone going to port this feature-rich and cost-saving app to Sailfish Os or at least some alternative tracking-app (for non-android-app-user) ?! :confused:

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 
Jolla is out, so it's time to bump willi6868's question. Is someone porting that to Sailfish? This is one of the most useful applications in Maemo, I'd like to see it on the grand-children OS too!

I've tried 465, 587 and 25 (using the Test Email function in SMSCON Editor), and no email was received at my gmail inbox. I used the same gmail username for both "address" and "email from" fields in the email settings in SMSCON Editor.:confused:

EDIT: it works now, see a few posts below. Not sure why it does and it didn't before.

I don't think I had any trouble, though it wasn't a gmail account.
Could it be a Firewall issue?

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)
 
Ya, I suspected so too, so I tried from different networks, Wifi, 3G...But if it is a firewall issue, then the feature is unfortunately of little use to me, as the phone can't be expected to physically move to a non-firewalled network, if any.

I've triple-checked my credentials, etc.
