Hi all
strange thing happens. It looks quite simple but I cannot resolve the issue.
How to detect that no sim card inserted into the phone on WM6? I've look through tons of documentation including OEM doc and source codes of AKU, but still don't know how to do it.
There's a phone state registry key which is not supported in my XPERIA as well as RIL SIMNOT_INSERTED state never returns for the RIL operations.
Any ideas?

Any info on sim card cloning or a backup image(not just your phone numbers I mean everything that the sim has in it) but doing this with a smartphone.
Is it possible?
Look for a program called "Jeyo Mobile Companion". It should handle what you're trying to do.
i was looking for this but now it seems that its impossible

Hi,
I have successsfully clones my SIM and have now the original one and three clones.
Basically you need to extract some values (KI and anotherone, which name I forgot) out of your original SIM. This is done through a Smartcard-Reader (Phoenix-Mode). The software you need is available for free, however all this is done by bruteforcing your SIM.
Recent SIM-cards are resistant against these attacks and will lock themselfs, which makes them useless: they will have to be replaced. When I say recent, that means all cards distributed in the last 5 years AT LEAST!
If you can read spanish, here is the only link you need: http://simemu.cjb.net
Also, if you succed in cloning your SIM, you should always pay attention TO NOT HAVE TWO CLONES TURNED ON AT THE SAME TIME, as the provider will naturally detect the same SIM to be connected twice.
What's nice about this is that you can actually clone different SIM's into on single smartcard and then change numbers/operators, without turning your phone on and off. Naturally you will be connected to only one number at any given time.
Hope this helps a little.

Got my brand new HTC Touch Cruise the other week and it was working great. I then decided to try and Geotag my photos which apparently is as simple as changing a registery value. So off I go and download the trial of Resco Explorer 2007 and reg editor from their website and change HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P9 »Enable« to 1
Soft reset the phone and then the phone no longer connects to the network.
(The geotagging feature of the camera worked fine too.....)
I uninstalled the tools, did a hard reset and reloaded the original ROM to no avail - the phone still refuses to connect to the network (Telstra NextG - Australia) which it was working fine with before. I have also noticed that when there is no Sim in the phone the IMEI does not agree with the one on the back and when the Sim is in it says the IMEI is "Not Support"
Any help would be appreciated, I'm missing my new toy already!
Do a Hard reset and your problems should be gone. Easiest way is "Settings > System > Clear Storage > 1234". Remember to sync your contacts before you do it and good luck
I'd already tried a hard reset and loading the latest ROM (Which was the same as the one it shipped with) but that did not work.
Just tried doing it again the way you suggested and it's still broken.
Also on further inspection my IMEI when it doesn't have a SIM in to is almost the same as the one of the back but just has an extra 01 on the end. It still says "Not support" when I have the SIM in it though....
All sorted out.... It seems it was an issue with Telstra(They said they had a brief outage, and for some reason my SIM didn't reconnect to the network until they gave it a "Kick"), not the phone that just happened at the same time as I was editing the registery. Talk about bad luck......

Yes so next time your Polaris not working so blame always your operator if the device dont connect, The imei cant NEVER chance with a registry chance what ever you do with the device the imei never changes, with that numbers you cant mess with
you said the imei changed when you have the sim card inside and evidently you couldn't connect to the network because of that... so deosn't that implys there's a 'possibility' that bypass the hardware imei by doing something to the sim? we might be on to something here guys..
A couple of weeks ago my phone started generating an SIM error message at startup.
I then changed ROM from the Orange WM6 to the latest HTC version, and since then i get the same error message.... Missing or invalid SIM please contact you service provider....
The weird thing about this is that I still get the error message, I clear it twice, and it asks me for my PIN and continues to work just fine... I thought that changing the ROM would sort this as I just put the error down to some sort of OS problem initially.
Anyone else experienced the same of similar issues?
I replaced my SIM to see if that made any difference but that hasn't changed a thing either...
.G.
the same here. don't know why..
hi! ive had alot of experience with phones giving similar errors. found its one of two reasons..
1) the phone is blacklisted. its weird but blacklisted phones works sometimes and other times it gives some sort of invalid sim error.
2) the sim is just simply not making proper contact with the metal pins. in nokia phones i usually just put a small piece of cartboard or thick paper in between the battery and the sim and the pressure forces the sim closer to the pins.
dunno about vox tho. put its worth a try
I get the same problem, with an O2 SIM card in a HTC-branded S710. Sometimes it happens, and sometimes it doesn't.
If it happens while turning the phone on, then I find that all of the sounds are playing faster than usual also (things like message and call tones are high pitched). If I go into Comm Manager, put it into flight mode and back out again, it not only finds the SIM card properly but also fixes the sound issue.
I wonder whether it's something to do with my SIM card possibly being a USIM card instead, since it says "O2 3G" on the card, but of course, the handset is not 3G-capable.

My excalibur (HTC 620) phone has exactly the same symptoms with a USIM (3G). It has no problem with other 2G SIM.
I am not sure whether it is something with the ROM. I flashed my phone with wm6.1 rom cooked by Kavana.
I had the same issue with one of my 3G SIM's. Eventually I didnt know what else to try so I got a SIM swap and thats solved the issue. Not a single problem since then
Heres whats going on
I have reset the N5, and flashed the July MM image. Everything flashed fine.
I insert SIM before booting, Android doesnt see SIM... so i pulled out the SIM and reinsert while on, and it sees it.
The Signal goes into an empty triangle... It says you have voicemail. And nothing else happens.
No data, no service. *#*#4636#*#* shows the right selection, it gives me the option to turn on the radio, but if i click it, nothing ever happens.
Under phone info, it sees my phone number, the IMEI is fine, and its not blacklisted when i check multiple carrier's websites.
I just cant seem to figure out why it wont just acquire service signal even when APN settings are right.
Anyone got any tips, tricks or solutions to this?
Possibly damaged sim card or sim card reader?

dont think so, i think its software maybe.... When i do *#*#4636#*#* it will show my phone number on the top... if i remove SIM, the number becomes "unknown"... so i dunno
If it happens with all SIM cards, it could be a damaged sim reader as different areas of the SIM card contains different information? Not sure.
I have similar problem with MOB30P on T-Mobile network. The 4G LTE would work just fine (I can browse web etc), but the voice is where it is failing hard. I would have dropped calls along with calls not coming through (both calling out and receiving calls).
I downgraded to MOB30M and everything appears to working fine now. I have not opened any bug against Android yet, because I am not sure if I am the only one experiencing this problem.
Hi, I was googling for a problem like your one. My N5 does not recognise the sim at boot, but only if it is "hot". If I put it in the fridge for ten minutes and then reboot, all works fine until the next shutdown. I'm sure it's an hardware problem (already tried different sim) so I disassembled all the phone, and it looks perfect. With some cleaner for electrical contacts it can survive for some days, and then starts again. So sad, I don't want to change phone just for this stupid problem XD
I'm getting exact same issue with my Nexus 5 since CM13 0803 update, which brings MOB30Y to my phone I believe.
At first my phone could still recognize my carrier (China Unicom), but there is no signal.
Then I flash radio image from MOB30Y and the phone now cannot find SIM card completely.
Even reflashing factory image doesn't help.
I'm now trying to reflashing MOB30P to see if it helps.
Update to latest August security update radio and bootloader
Hey!
I have a strange problem with my Mi4i (MIUI 7.5.2.0). The phone shows "no signal" or "emergency calls only" with a specific sim card, which works in other phones and used to work in the phone in the past.
The device works well with other sim cards too, even from the same provider. Just not with the specific sim card, which happens to be the one i would like to use. I cannot remember if the problem occured after an update (ota only).
I have tried so far, without any effect:
- a factory reset, without deleting the personal content.
- ordered and tried a new sim card from my provider
There seem to be similar threads in this forum, but they do not adress exactly my problem afaik.
Does someone has an idea what else i can try? I will provide further information if needed.
Thanks in advance!

Might be an unsupported band. What phone have tried the sim with?
Thanks for reading . Oneplus One, iPhone 5C. Sorry i forget to tell the sim card worked in the Mi4i. I didn't use the phone for a while and i might have updated it (ota) when i turned it on again recently. I guess the problem persists since then.
Any chance the update caused it?
did a full wipe and reinstalled miui (7) in fastboot mode. no change. the sim card works fine with other phones. the phone works with other sim cards fine too. just not with my main one
