I'm sorry if this has been asked but I'm having a little trouble with a Pearl.

My co-worker bought 2x unlocked O2 Pearls from ebay. One of them works fine, the other is a whole different matter.
The one in question first had a java.class error which I found out had no fix other than a OS wipe.

First, I wiped the settings and tried with my Rogers sim, that didnt work.

Next, I did a complete OS wipe and installed the latest Rogers firmware which went fine. I put in the sim, it detected the Rogers network and seemed to be working. I then sent a text, which didnt go anywhere due to "Protcol Error".
So, I did a battery pull, started it up again and now it wont get out of SOS mode. I've run the diagnostics several times but for some reason it wont connect to the network.

I cant think of anything else that can be wrong. In the Options -> Mobile Network, it even says "Rogers" so I do not know where to go from here.

Should I wipe the OS again and put on the O2 firmware instead?

Have you tried a wipe with JL_Cmder?

How do I wipe the BlackBerry using Jl Cmder? - BlackBerryFAQ

I'd go there, next.

Is there an IT Policy hindering anything?

No there isnt any IT Policy set on the device.

Trying it now, *crosses fingers*

Well it didnt work. For some reason it doesnt seem to be receiving any type of data. I popped in my Fido sim which worked but in the top right corner showing connectivity, it says "GSM" with an arrow pointing outgoing, no arrows pointing incoming.

As well as I noticed that it has an option for wireless access on the Application screen. I thought only the 8120 had WiFi ability?

The "Manage Wireless" (or whatever it says, I have it hidden on my phone currently) application icon is for managing the wireless radio/Bluetooth connections, not WiFi. You're right, the 8100 has no WiFi.

Thats what i thought. I know on my Curve that same option was there but this one is really weird. It doesnt even give the option of choosing which wireless feature. If you activate it, it shuts down the communication of the phone and looks for a wireless access point.

Unless someone went around and started changing motherboards and such... Ugh
