Re: Please Help! enter network unlock code for the N900
 

well, I don't know what to say... I will go to a service and have the phone checked, maybe it's another problem. I bought it as locked on Vodafone UK, but I do not have a Vodafone UK SIM to try it out, and other SIMs don't get any signal, and on a manul search no network is found, altrought at the begin the pin is requested and I can change the pin form the settings menu

thanks for all the answers

> globle fiRX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_.....bin .the sim was loked
there was a sim icon in the status(where network is shown) and a red line was on it indicated that sim is locked.
i did go with "eMM"
my n900 is an indian ver...i think the diffrence is (no skype there!also a folder named "more" is not in there)

Why don't you try the latest global version?

Does the SIM icon you're seeing match the one in the following screenshot?


If so, that's a "SIM card not installed" icon, not a "SIM card locked" icon.

yes you r right the icon was exatly the same!! but my sim card was installed already also i tried to restart the phone but the same icon was there in the all globle ver....

and as soon as i flashed with indian ver.. it works fine! any solution to get skype without getting this icon or (a woking sim with getting network)

This sounds like it is not recognising the SIM. I had two N78-3 devices that would not recognize SIMs out of the box and I had to send them off to get the SIM module replaced. I placed a small piece of card stock, cut to shape, over the back of the SIM to provide a little extra thickness and this resolved the issue on one of my N78-3 devices. I shipped it off anyway because I'm not into "duct tape and bailing wire" solutions to get new phones to work.
