I factory reset my Nokia model RM-1018. My IMEI # is completly clean and clear... so can I swap out my SIM card for another service provider?

Do I just change sim cards and turn on, and set up service?

Thanks bro successfully working. GOOD

Aravind Vfx -

I'm trying to do this without an LCD on a Lumina 530. I get the vibration on step 2 -the phone turning on. Since i do not see an exclamation mark, I just hold the button for 15-20 seconds. Right before step 4 - the sequence I get another vibrate. After that I just push the buttons as directed but no more tactile feedback. I have NOOO idea if i'm wiping the device or not. No rebooting vibration - so I'm guessing that somewhere along the way I'm jumping the gun - right?

Can someone tell me the vibration feedback along the way that I should be paying attention to?

Or another way to do this - maybe?

Thanks!

heni1022 -

just do these steps and wait for aprox 15 minutes because this process takes a lot of time complete the recovery

mine is an RM 1067 and it’s showing Bitlocker recovery , and it says to remove this drive plug in the USB drive that has the bitlocker recovery key

Bit locker needs your recovery key to unlock your drive because the trusted platform module is not accessible for more information on how to retrieve this key go to http://windows.microsoft.com/recoverykey... for another pc or mobile device

press Enter to reboot and try again

Press ESC or windows key for more options
