Default Unlocked 8100 wont work

Please Login to Remove!

I bought a BB8100 form ebay but it wont make calls, send text or anything over the air. The phone is unlocked I checked using meppd network = disabled. The phone has no brand name on it but pretty sure it used for T-mobile. When i first turn phone on it says blackberry on middle of screen while the rest of my BBs have AT&T. On main screen under the battery indicator it says AT&T. The signal indicator has 5 bars with GSM under it in caps. I dont have internet on this phone. Pulled battery out with no luck. I am running OS 4.5.0.110 . ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT !!!

Quite peculiar. From what you have described it should work.

I downloaded Signal-Location Utilities onto this 8100 and for some reason it seems to be switching between two different channel about every 10 seconds. Which means what ?

Has anyone heard of MFI Multiloader not sure but thinking someone before me ran this on my phone. I have looked at MFI on other sites where people are having about the same problem as me.

I would send it back and get a refund.

Doubt if you will get much help here for unauthorized, stolen RIM software.

Sounds like you need to wipe the phone and start again
