Help Flashed I7500XEJC6, now won't read SIM card

[misskira]

I've currently got a Bell Samsung I7500, I flashed I7500XEJC6 onto it with Odin (using this site http://mauweb.net/3.0/en/technology/17-android/99-icon-androidsamsung-galaxy-i7500-upgrade-1634.html) and was able to get it from being in some foreign language into english again.

But now it loads up with SIM Network Unlock PIN, when I have a Bell Sim card in. I can either enter the pin, or dismiss the message.

If I dismiss it won't read the SIM card and therefore has no signal.
I was able to get the WIFI to work, and got into the marketplace.
I had already downloaded Drakaz's updating software, but there was problems with that before I flashed the Baseband.
I took a picture of the problem with the Galoxo system running (I went back to it to see if that would help) for reference.

Now I can't seem to find any way to get around this. I asked Bell if they could give me a code to lock it to to their Network.
When I called them they tried numerous codes but none worked. They said after it loaded without the SIM card in without that message, that I needed a new SIM card.
A new SIM card however didn't work. Same message.

I tried getting a company online to get me an unlock code, but their answer was that "There are so many mobile out there sometimes the firmware on certain versions mean I can't generate the code. Your only option may be your network operator or a local shop who can unlock via a cable."

Any ideas, or thoughts to get it back to being able to at least get onto the cell network???

Hi,

this problem has been known for a long time and there is a whole thread about it, you can find a link to it in the stickied thread.

In short, you should flash BMIK6 back and then proceed to flash the firmware you want correctly using this guide.

THANKS - am going to try that right now.

Still have the same problem. After it rebooted it loaded to the unlock/dismiss screen.
Then into Russian

Any other thoughts?

Before following the guide you had to flash BMIK6 back on your phone as a one package. Did you do that?

Just to make sure, please check your phone system information (especially the baseband version) and post it here.

No - I thought in your post you said it was the same?

I can only seem to find the PDA file for BMIK6. Any idea where I can find the package?

Right now the System info is:
Firmware: 1.6
Baseband: I7599XEJC6
Kernel Version: 2.6.29 root@bluemoong-desktop #3
Build Number: Donut.XEJC6

The thread that I was referred to is at this link
But the firmware can be downloaded here
DaSchmarotzer referred me there - and I was able to fix it with those instructions.
