samsung 820 problem anyone help please ?

hi all got a drama with a samsung t-mobile branded e820

bought the thing from ebay payed 120 quid for it seller said it was unlocked to all networks

that was his first fib !!!!!!!!

took the phone to get it unlocked all was great for 3 days

now all i can get is limited service recon this is a stolen/insurance claim phone :sad:

did some research through this and other forums on how to repair said phone as seller seems to have left planet earth apparently :-x

tried to and succeeded in changing iemi code but still limited service on turn on

can anyone please advise as currently without a phone and down 120 quid plus the 10 ner i paid to get it unlocked and not very happy with ebay as they aint intrested

any help now would be much appreciated

i used winieme 820(cracked) and e700 cable

That should have worked mate, have you definately got the correct cable ?

Is it serial, with code PCB133...... or something like that ????

yes m8 serial cable

defo changed the number already but still locked

have even tried new firmware on it still locked

looks like this has a 2nd lock on it anyone any other ideas
