Hi, I bought a Blackberry 8320 from eBay but the cellphone won't get any network coverage; there's an 'X' next to the signal antenna on the top-right corner. I do get Wi-fi and I'm able to connect to the internet though.
When I go and run the diagnostic test for the mobile network I get the following result:
Radio Data Activation: No
Signal Level: Unknown
Radio Access: Unknown
Network: Unknown
IP Address: Unknown
CMP Ping Echo: No
I've tried all the suggestions I've found without avail. From switching sim cards, trying to turn the connections on and off, hard-resetting, up to OS upgrading. The only thing I haven't tried is to completely wipe clean the Blackberry and install a fresh OS on it, should I do it?
The phone is unlocked and I'm planning to use it internationally, and yes the mobile network is on.
Everything is working perfectly except for the network coverage; Alas, arguably the most important part.
The current carrier is T-mobile but as I said the phone is unlocked so it accepts any sim card, I've already tried multiple ones and all have the same problem even though all sim cards work properly when installed in other phones.
I'm going to do a complete wipe and reinstall the OS, hopefully that solves the problem, if not then it means is hardware related.
As a side note, when I turn on the LED coverage indicator it flashes green as if the phone has network coverage. Isn't that weird?
