[Q] Stuck in Airplane Mod

Hey guys, today I installed a new game and started it and came to the screen where you download game files and got "No Wi-Fi Connection"
Then I pressed the home button but my phone froze so after waiting some minutes I took out the battery and booted it.
Since then its in the Airplane Mode and nothing will turn it off..
I wiped dalvik, data, even flashed a new ROM but NOTHING.
Then I took the SIM from a different phone and the airplane mode was turned off and everything worked.
So what you guys think the problem is ?
I mean a game cant mess up my SIM Card right ?

It's possible that the game messed up a setting on the phone that lead to a SIM card defect.
Tried the SIM card in another phone?
a) If it's working, try reinserting into your phone and booting again. Sometimes it's just the swapping fixing your SIM again (registering to a new phone with the carrier)
b) If it's not working, I'd exchange the SIM.
a2) In case a) didn't fix it: factory reset, battery pull for 30mins, in case those two fail as well --> b).

Nothing worked :/
I guess I got to change it

[Q] Accidentally pressed "simlock" in hboot - help!!

While navigating the hboot menus on my HTC Desire S, 2.3.5 Stock, Sense 3.0, I accidentaly pressed "simlock|"
It reported:
FAT32 init OK
Open MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
It has definitely messed something up: my phone boots, accepts my SIM pin, unlocks my SIM, displays my Mobile Provider as one of the network options to connect to, but fails to register with the network every time.
So it doesn't mention that the phone is locked, or ask me to enter an unlock code or anything... but the sim that was previously working is now not working at all...
Any ideas? Will an RUU or anything get my phone back to a working unlocked state?

First of all I would try this: remove SIM card, SD card and battery (everything actually), put them back and reboot the phone to see what happen.
As the last resort, If you don't mind reinstall all your apps and data (it will erase everything), you could simply execute and hard reset:

Thanks - did that - but no luck - the phone totally reverted to factory settings, but the SIM is still not registering on the network... it seems a change has taken place at an even lower level...

The error that you wrote gives you "fail". Doesn't look like it has been done something to the phone.
Do you have any other option in hboot?
How about turn off the radio a couple of times (airplane mode) then reboot?
I found this by the way:

I remember I solve it by playing with airplane mode and turn off the phone few times, with my friend Desire S.

It definitely did something - for 4 hours, no ability to get onto mobile network. Seems it mayt have actually modified the SIM card. I managed to get it working again - I put the SIM in another phone, booted, and then put it back in my phone and it's working again - do you think that's possibly what fixed it?

Could it be.. you never know..
That's interesting thus, looks like the SIM card got somehow "resetted" by the other phone.
I'll keep this in mind for the future.

Suddenly No service some time after root

So got this shiny new phone and decide to root it for adblock etc.
The root went fine, I used the Xperia-L root zip not the chop--- something. So a while after that, maybe a day or two suddenly I get a No Service.
I went into Settings-Mobile Networks and try to choose the network manually, I couldn't, I can move through Auto and Manual but when I select Manual it always goes back to Automatic. Can you guys confirm that that settings doesn't work? Can you choose Manual instead of Automatic?
Then the phone scanned for available networks and it found my home network relatively easy...
NOW selecting my home network gives me the error "Could not join network right now. Please try again later"(or something like that). A minute after that a toast message pops up "Registered on Network" but I still get no service...
Anyone have any idea? I thought Sony phones are root friendly with them sponsoring CM and all....
I have tried everything. Unlock, relock bootloader, restored TA...flashed stock firmware....taking the sim card out while power is still on and inserting it again.....
So frustrating, thanks for any insight....:fingers-crossed:

It happened with me..
What I did is,
Switched off the phone
Removed SIM card
Restarted phone
Again switch it off
Inserted the SIM card
Restarted the phone..
It worked!

Huawei G6 do not recognize sim card -wifi will not activate-

Hello
i changed phone operator two days ago, i put the new sim into my phone but it do not recognize the sim card. i went into network settings but some options like "access point name" is disabled ( i guess because it do not read the sim..). even if I try to connect to wifi..it does not work..it wont evene scan for network.
It was working just fine before i changed the sim...i also tried a factory reset....but nothing...i put different sims but it just wont recognize ( the new sim works fine on any other phone...)
Any suggestions??
is it something can be fixed via software?
Thanks

Prestigio PSP7557 SIM CARD ERROR - I can use data , but calls and text dont work.

So I have the prestigio psp7557 and I was going to fix it for someone , but Im stuck on this problem. I insert a sim card it works well and when you make a call it says "call ended" instantly. Cant said text either. But I can use data without any problems. The sim card works fine in my own phone(calls , text data all works). At first the phone was fully functional then I got it rooted by someone a while a go and then this happened. I left it and now im trying to fix it.
Im not a complete newb when it comes to phones so i have tried acouple of things :
-Dialled *#*#4636#*#* and turned the radio off and set it to gsm , restarted and it didnt help. So i switched it back to the way it was.
-i messed about in the network settings , changing apns , service providers and no luck
-i reset the whole phone using the stock recovery mode(vol up + power button menu)
-took the sim out and restarted multiple times
Would really appreciate it if someone helped me out , thank you in advance
