Yesterday I posted about the change of the IMEI on my Tilt, but it was said that even if there are two numbers more in the serial it's ok anyway, and matters only the first 15 numbers in the IMEI serial.
That's ok.
(Even if I don't understand why the moderator kyphur close that thread, as I see and read so many stupid thread from newbies asking so stupid questions without sense and clearly posted without taking a look and search in this forum before posting!!..... BTW......)
My problem is that after upgrading from Dutty's v4 to Dutty's WM6.1 Build 5.2.19716 my Tilt doesn't recognize my SIM card (and before the upgrade it did) (BESIDE checking the IMEI changed with 2 digit more)
My Tilt was legally unlocked with the AT&T code they sent me after my request.
Now I'm in Italy since 3 weeks and I was using an Italian SIM from an Italian carrier.
Before upgrading to a WM 6.1 rom (and 6.1 radio) my legally unblocked Tilt worked perfectly and so fine...
Now it doesn't see my SIM card at all... it says SIM MISSING.
I tried this same SIM in other cellulars and works fine, and I tried other different italian SIM cards in the same Tilt and they work!
Maybe my Italian SIM is, in a certain sense, not perfectly compatible with a WM 6.1 based rom?
Should I ask to the carrier to change my SIM to something different and newer?
Could be this one the problem that the Tilt doesn't recognize and see my italian SIM?
I tried to return back to a WM6 rom and radio BUT THE TILT doesn't yet recognize the SIM. (and I'm repeating that before the upgrade, till 2 days ago it was perfect!)
(....and I would not be a pain in the ass.. but everything go bad after noticing that the emei has changed... and I'm underlining this because it is important in the official process to legally unblock the Tilt from AT&T procedure)
AGAIN....
What's happening?
Any suggestions?
Could someone tell me if you encountered a problem like this before?

I know this is going to sound dumb as hell, but it worked for my brother's phone and maybe it will work for yours.
Remove the sim card and using a brand new pencil w/ new eraser, press the eraser against the brass contacts on the sim card and erase as though someone colored them all. Then reinsert sim card and see what happens. Once again, I am not saying this will work, but I am saying that my brother's blackjack lost contact with his sim card and this is what he did and everything worked again.
Just a shot in the dark, but maybe. Hope it helps and good luck.
While I have not heard of this happening to non-US SIM cards, I went through this problem with my older Cingular SIM card and my 8125.
Everything worked perfectly fine until I loaded WM6 onto the device, and then all of a sudden I needed to get a 3G SIM card from Cingular, even though the 8125 was Edge/GPRS capable only.
I would suggest getting a replacement SIM card from you Italian carrier.

Thnx P1Tater for the easy "handyman-like" suggestion.
I tried it, but it doesn't work and defenitely it's not my case.

Yes.. I'm thinking to do so.. maybe my Italian SIM card is not good after this upgrade to WM 6.1 and it's not 3G. I cannot confirm, but very probably it's like so.
I'm asking my (old and, in the same time, temporary) italian provider to change my SIM to a newer one... and then we will see what happen.
It's very strange how with WM 6 It was simply PERFECT and after this upgrade to wm6.1 the sim is not recognized.
oh... I wanna add that when I insert the AT&T SIM the Tilt regularly see it.. even if, obviously, there's no signal and no services available.
I resolved the problem getting a replacement SIM card from the Italian carrier.
SO the bottom line is that with some old SIM card upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.1 based ROM the AT&T Tilt doesn't work!
You MUST HAVE a new SIM CARD 3g capable.
i upgraded to wm 6.1 and now it says my sim is missing. it never used to do it. i have the 3g sim card. can anybody offer anything? i cant seem to find anything.
thanks!

I have the same problem before. When I upgraded to the 3.34 ROM as I post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439408
Kaiser says the sim card is missing, but I do have the sim card inside. What I been done is open the sim card door while the kaiser is power on, it will shut down by they self, then close the door. Power on again then it read my sim card. It work in my case I am not sure about yours.

Hi, I've recently got an Xda2 and had all the fun of trying to get it to unlock. having followed all the info on the web and runnung an unlock program on the phone itself, I can insert my SIM, enter the code and all looks fine....but i'm unable to make or receive any calls. Also, I dont sem to be able to find any contacts. Very confused! The SIM works fine in my other phone?? Any words of wisdom would be very welcome at this time,
Many thanks in advance
maybe you could try to use another sim to see if the xda is incompatible with that sim cards it's not unheard off
OK.....this is a bit wierd. I've tried another SIM, still vodafone, but its about 2 years old. It works! Why? Whats the difference between my vodafone SIM and a 2 year old vodafone SIM?
ask vodafone i know that 3 made it so their sims only worked in utms phones maybe vodafone also found a way to block other phones
I have just unlocked my tilt with Kaiser SimUnlocker. I put my T-Mobile sim card but no connection. Always searching... I put my friends Cingular sim card (old at&t) and still no connection. So I thought my phone was broken so I took it to local AT&T store and one of the rep says 'maybe it's the sim card'. And he grabs one of his new AT&T sim card and voila! connected. Have anyone had that problem? What can I do to fix this? My T-Mobile sim card is says 38.01e on the card next to my sim serial number. Is it my sim card? Do I have to get a new sim card? I've just got this sim card about 2 months ago. Any suggestion?
I assume you reflashed an appropriate radio after unlocking?
I would try flashing a new radio anyway to see if that sorts your problem.
I've tried severa different radio roms with no luck. Right now I've reflashed back to US At&T rom. I still no clue why my T-Mobile sim will not connect to the network...
On AT&T, the tilt requires the newer AT&T 3G cards - thus probably why the Cingular card didn't work. Are you sure the SIM unlock process worked for you? If your T-mobile SIM is that new, I can't imagine you needing a new T-Mobile SIM. The T-Mobile SIM has worked in another phone?

That's strange b/c my Cingular card works on my tilt.
I unlocked my AT&T Tilt and then put in my (almost 1 year old) t-mobile sim card and it worked immediately without any problems. I used the original radio as directed in the unlocking tutorial. So it sounds like maybe you should do the unlocking procedure again. ?
Hope this helps,
stacy
did you even try putting ur sim into another phone and see if it works? just making sure u covered everything here
Maybe you are locked into 3G
Go under Phone/Options/Band and make sure the top is either set to Auto or GSM
Thanks for all the replys...
I have tried just about everything...
I know it's unlock b/c it does not ask for unlock code no more. I have hp hw6945 that is also unlocked and works perfect in there. It connects almost instantly so I know my sim card works too. Also tried changing band setting to Auto and 900/1800 and everything and no luck... Going crazy and frustrated... about to just sell it to some at&t user and buy a new one, try again.
Just to let you xda'ers know that when I tried to unlock it for the first time I tried with spl-1.56 on it as a factory (dummy me) then tried SuperCid unlock which changed to spl-1.0 then proceded with rest of the unlock. Maybe that messed something up?
I've had that issue but my sim card with t-mobile was 4 years old. Had to purchase a new sim card and everything worked fine after that. With my old sim card, the tilt wouldn't even recognize the card.
Anybody want to donate an old T-Mobile SIM to me
buddy had same issue just happen.. he had to go to tmobile and show them the sim wasnt working they gave him a new @ no charge
I had a old cingular card that came with my Razr and it worked fine in my 8525 Hermes, but it said no service in my 8925 tilt. I would try a new t-mobile card.
My dad has an At&T tilt (htc kaiser). He unlocked it and we are trying to get it to work in Israel with a cellcom sim card. The sim card in my phone is working in his phone, but the new sim he bought for his phone only works in a slvr l6 we have. On the kaiser, the sim is recognized, but it won't connect to the cellcom network (it does with my cellcom sim card). Do you think upgrading the rom would help the problem (he still has the original rom that came with it from at&t, and he has paid them and unlocked it) and if so, which ROM for the kaiser have you found to be the best for you. If I flash it, will it work fine in the US and in Israel, etc? Now that it is unlocked, is it for good even after reflashing it? If you don't think the rom is the problem, do you have any other suggestions as to why one specific sim would only work in one phone? All suggestions are welcome!!!
ok first thing the rom has nothing to do with that flashing it wont help, what you need to find out is what band that company uses and then select the ban from your phone and that will allow the phone to work if it still dont pick up ur phone wasnt unlock properly, remember it takes a little time to pic up its not as quick as the other phones. If you still choose to flash ur phone you need to read some of the threads first and make up ur mind based on the comments made. but personaly they all are good to me some have a few ups and down but nothing major or you can use the orginal rom posted by dutty a few days ago its stable.
Thanks for the response. This is the weirdest problem I have ever encountered, because my phone (an l6) uses the same sim from the same company (cellcom) and my sim card works perfectly in the kaiser. The new sim card does not work in my l6 OR his kaiser, but works in my mom's cheapie unlocked phone and another (a bit newer) l6 (same model phone!) that we have with us. So connecting to the network is not the problem, as the kaiser does that with my sim in it. But with the new sim in it, the kaiser refuses to connect to the cellcom network. I have no idea where to go from here. Why does it work in one l6 and not another? Why my old one work in my l6 AND his kaiser, but the new sim works in neither? All help is greatly appreciated!!
Basically the problem is my Vario III doesn't see certain Sim cards but works fine with others. I thought I successfully unlocked my device but this issue really pisses me off!
Anyone any ideas???
PS: sorry if already discussed this, but me couldn't find nothing..
Closing this Redundant Thread...
There is already a thread for the Kaiser SIM Unlocker, go there with this issue (I'm assuming that's what you used as you've given no real info).
Also, you really need to provide more info (as much as possible). I'd start with what Rom your running and maybe think about listing what SIMs worked & what SIMs didn't work. Take notice of things like age of the SIM card.
ok guys ....i have been having this strange problem with 3g...im in nyc and edge works fine but as soon as i get in to a 3g area i lose all service?right now im on duttys new rom and i have tried almost all the 6.1 radios..the settings r on auto ...when i disable 3g in com manager the edge works fine...I want 3g(or i would have bought a iphone)....someone please help...
thanx
Did this issue just start since Dutty's rom? Or did it happen with other roms as well?
it has happened with the last couple of 6.1 dutty roms...
Have you tried the 2 radios that were ripped from the Polaris? They have been the best for me on WM 6.1 roms.
yes i tried one forgot which one .....but ill try both tomorrow night....dont have my laptop with me today....this is just strange...like i said edge works fine as soon as i get into a 3g area i lose service...and if i get lucky and do have service i have no internet service but when i try to go to a website ill lose service again?allways set my internet connection to allways on if that makes a difference.....thanx for trying to help
Is your SIM one of the new AT&T branded 3G chips? I remember reading a while back that the older Cingular 3G chips can stop working on the 3G network as they age... something about the coding on the chip becoming corrupted with age.
If the radios don't help, I would try replacing your SIM.
ya tried just about every 6.1 radio last night and same thing edge fine but 3g no go.My sim says att on it cant remember if iv had it since the hermes....but i guess ill try a new sim card...again thanx so much for ur help.
ill report back once i get a new sim card.
just as an fyi, when I upgraded to my tilt, the woman at the store said that all the Cingular Sim cards are being phased out. I then asked about the people in my office with the AT&T simcards that are older and she said that it was just the Cingular emblem cards that they were phasing out. Don't know if its just the pretty branding or not, just what she told me.
