Troubleshooting
some of the EE osprey 2 mini / Alcatels Y853VB where the imei number start with
358800061xxxxxx
358800062xxxxxx
358800063xxxxxx
358800064xxxxxx
have a firmware issue
if you enter the code and it just say failed and the remaining unlock attempts
is 10 no matter how many times you enter the code
don't worry there is a solution for that
please follow the unlock instructions to the point where it ask for NCK code
now close the box where it say simlock required ( there is a small [x] on the corner )
scroll down to the bottom of page and click on settings icon-> log in here
the user name and password by default is set to admin admin
now on top of the page under CONNECTION select CONNECTION STATUS and enter the unlock code on there it will accept it and job done :)
it does say invalid simcard and it doesn't ask for a code
- make sure that every time you are changing the simcard device is powered of
- make sure that simcard you are using is active and its dedicated for mobile broadband devices, some phone simcards doesn't work on those devices
- if you have the right simcard and it does seat correctly in the simcard slot power up your device and press and hold RESET button for around 15 sec then switch off your modem and power back on ... now it should detect the simcard correctly
if itt say no simcard
- please make sure that simcard you are using seat correctly in the simcard slot
