unreadable sim card - General Questions and Answers

as i allready saw there are bunch of questions regarding ureadable sim cards and not much of them have an answer. please dont post and say to take my phone to the store and ask about warranity because i just installed custom rom and by that it lost it warranity. the problem is that the phone showed sim card for the first run and now it doesnt. i installed hypersensation cm7 rom and im so scared ill lose such a good phone. there are some screenshots of teh phone and it all went well on the installation.

That problem may be with ROM.. for me also it happen in i9000 while installing ICS alpha build 7 i was able to make calls. but then after flashing Beta 1 , i was not able to make calls, it was saying SIM pin locked. then came back to Stock Firmware. Problem solved then after even if i Flash Alpha 7 it was not detecting my SIM card. you may need to Flash Stock FM Once.

Plz help!No service problem

I tried to flash to a new rom and i did it successfully. All works fine but i have a problem, when device locks my device appears no service.There is no signal
When i flashed the rom, sim was inside.
Do you think this was the problem?
Other users with same device same rom did not have any problem.If i try to flash again causes to lose my data?
Thank you in advance. I am looking forward to your replies.
Hi there,
You dont say what device or rom u are using?
Did you flash a different radio or one that came witht them rom.
Sometimes a flash can affect sim card, btbh i often flash my phone with sim card in and never had a problem (not recomended though)
Are you able to receive and make calls ok? is 3g working? data usage ok? does your GPS and camera work (all radio reliant)
Thank you for your response. I flashed my device again without sim and all works fine.

[Q] I5800 doesn't recognize Sim card after flashing.

Hi guys,
I've come across a rare problem, I can't find other people having the same problem with the same device.
I flashed my 1yo GT-I5800 from 2.1 to FROYO, I5800XXJPF version.
I tried the guide here on xda, but that provides me 'one package' files and my phone wouldn't come further as the 'samsung' screen. After a lot of research I found a person with the same problem and the problem basically was that when using 'one package files', you apparently flash your bootloader too. So I searched for a firmware version with separate files, flashed first back to the original version (so that my phone would have the original bootloader) and then flashed, without the bootloader to a stable version.
Everything works like a charm, I'm very happy with it, but I have big issue... the most crucial part of the phone is not working, namely the sim card. My phone doesn't complain about it at all, had no errors, only the notification that I can only make emergency calls.
My question is: what should I do to fix this? I'm pretty sure it's not hardware related, since other sim cards don't work as well and mine works on other phones. Some people had the same problem, but this was because their phone booted in airplane mode.
tl;dr
I flashed my phone 2.1 to 2.2, the sim card slot doesn't work anymore, software related.
I'm really looking out for any answers, thanks in advance!
PS: Since I cannot move threads, I made a copy of this one earlier on another forum here around. Since this is also a good section for my question, I posted here the same thread, since in the other section people don't(/can't?) answer my question.

Flash the XXJPU latest firmware as it is a lot smoother, faster and less buggy (if it has any bugs at all).
Now, as to your question, i think it may be due to you not having any signal. Check that your phone is not in airplane mode and also go outside or somewhere you have good signal. Another suggestion would be to call up your sim card provider and ask if they are facing any technical difficulties.
@Smonic
Okay, I'll try that version. To your solution: my phone just doesn't see the sim card, not even my contacts. It is not in airplane mode, I checked this already and mentioned that in my post.
Thanks for your respond, but unfortunately it didn't solved my question yet. I'll update you if the new firmware worked if I find it.
Update about firmware: Found the I5800 firmware you posted half a month ago, flashed to that version but it didn't solve the problem. He recognizes my sd card when I put that in, but still not my sim card.
Any ideas?
Now I faceing the same problem... Did you find solution?
I see its quite so probably you could solve a problem... I hope Im wrong.
Some problem help please.........
Keep rebooting the phone
Mine Bcame ok after 4-5 reboots(sometimes becomes ok in 2,and sometimes works flawlessly)
Man i m lucky

[Q] SIM won't work after Fera Lab ROM install.

Hi! Some months ago I installed a version of FeraLab, the installment process was fine and when I rebooted, my phone said: "There is no SIM card inserted, please insert one and reboot". (I didn't care a lot because it was the first boot with that ROM) then I noticed that the WiFi wasn't working at all. Rebooted and the same SIM and Wifi problem were present.
I returned to read the post of the FeraLab ROM and the version I installed was removed with a note of the developers saying that it contained some bugs so they deleted that version and were working on an update. Below I found a .zip file which I installed via xRecovery and after reboot it solved the WiFi problem. But the SIM problem persisted. Then I thought it will be solved by installing the stock ROM but it didn't solved anything. I tried with lots of ROMS but the results were the same. I never tried to unlock my bootloader nor install any custom kernel. The only thing I found is that my phone can recognize mobile networks but it won't let me connect to any of them saying that my SIM don't support that network.
The problem isn't exclusive of me, I found that many other people had the same problem after installing ROMs. It would be a blast if anyone could help me!

[Q] Huawei U8860 doesn't do "DLOAD" flashes and fails to recognize SIM card

Hello all.
I would like to ask this in this thread but I still have no permissions to write there. :crying:
I succesfully rooted my U8860 and installed TWRP. Also every custom ROM installation from the thread above works. Unfortunaly since I installed a custom ROM the phone doesn't recognize the SIM card anymore. It just sais "no SIM installed". I tried to fix this with setting up own APN entries but without any results.
Then I wanted to go back to Stock ICS 4.0.3, because the SIM works there. But the update process stops after approx. 30%. Also the downgrade patch hangs after 60%.
So, there I am. Read a lot of hints and tryed everything except of this: formating the partition in pink mode. I am a little afraid of making it worse with loosing the IMEI and/or MAC Address.
Would be nice if anybody has the solution for getting back to ICS or the SIM working on other ROMs.
Thank you!
Greetz,

[Q] Sim card problem

Hi everyone,
Weird problem occured today.
I flash new roms almost weekly and just yesterday I installed Elix-R and when it booted it asked me to insert my sim card.
I cleaned the sim and rebooted, nothing helped. Reflash din't help either. I completely wiped my phone and installed stock images from google.
No problems, detected my sim. Now I wanted to try out XtraSmooth, Again after boot it asked me to insert my sim ?
All radio's etc are stock from google.
Any one idea's ? Do I have to order a new sim ?
*Edit*
It seems to have happend after messing with a rom that had busy box. Do any of these configuration stay even after completely wiping the phone ?
