Orange C905 Inactive Sim |

Hello,
I recently got a SE C905 on orange.
The phone is on contract and contained all the orange branding like "orange maps" etc and a distinct lack of all the things I was hoping to find on the default SE like "google maps, wayfinder, tennis" etc. Also the shortcut button no longer has shortcuts like previous SE phones its just for Applications in use!
I decided that debranding the phone was the way to go to restore this phone to its beautiful self!
So using davinci I installed the Generic SE Firmware, which of course had Wayfinder, Google Maps and the rest of it! It was awesome, the phone worked smoothly, the menus looked better and even vibrated when u moved the cursor around and the GPS seemed to have a better signal!
Anyway an hour or so later I looked at my phone to see it read "Inactive Sim" rather than orange! You can imagine my dissappointment!
I have now rebranded my phone back to orange and is working fine no "Inactive Sims" as of yet! I am desperate to get off this orange firmware and back to the generic firmware as it is a million times better! I cannot remove orange maps or any of the rubbish they put on there, so no chance of trying to do that!
has anyone else had a similar problem or does anyone know a way around this god awful firmware?
Thanks  | |

I've debranded from Orange and it generally works fine. But very occasionally I get the message "Inactive SIM". Restarting the phone fixes it. You seemed to give up very quickly on the Generic Firmware, or did it not work again once you got the inactive SIM message? | |
