Hello guys. hope you can help me out with this.

I have this 8900 running 5.0.0.1168. The phone ran out of its battery and shut down. When plugged in and turned on it is suddenly asking for MEP CODE since the it has an "Invalid Sim Card". This is the same sim card of the carrier, never changed it. I tried taking my sim card to another phone and it worked fine, but none of the sim cards I put on the 8900 works at all.

I got an unlock code from a secure source (have unlocked 20+ phone from this site), after typed the code, pressed enter and the phone restarts. When the phone is up the error is still there. Doesn't matters how many times you put the MEP Code it still says 10 attempts left.

Have you ever saw this? Do you have any idea on how to start troubleshooting this?

Thank you!
