[Q] Desire S: no simcard found - HTC Desire S

Hi guys,
Yesterday I replaced the digitizer of my Desire S. Everything went well, but when I put my simcard in again my phone didn't recognize it.
Someone told me that it could be due to the fact that I was running unofficial software (Miui 2.3.30). He said that the taking apart of the phone triggers some sort of factory reset which might cause the simcard problems.
So what I tried to do is reinstall Miui (wiped all the userdata, normal and dalvik cache). This didn't solve the problem. I also tried to install CM9 (9.00 alpha), but still no simcard found.
I read somewhere online that switching your pinlock on and off might work. I tried this, but I found out I can't disable the pinlock. Not on Miui, nor on CM9. I tried my simcard in another phone and it works fine and I can change/disable the simlock just fine.
Does anyone have any idea what might fix this? And can the taking apart of a phone cause this kind of problems?
Thanks so much in advance!

Tried rebooting ?
I had similar problem once, a reboot solved it.

Android Market 1.6!

{First of all, i DID search high and low to find the answer to my problem before i made this thread.}
I have been using Cyanogen 4.1.11.1 ROM for sometime now without any problems. A couple of day ago i started getting force closes everytime i tried to go on the android market. I tried reflashing my phone using the CM Updater as i thought this might solve the problem, but that didn't work. I have cleared the market data via setting>application settings>manage applications>market>clear cache. That didnt solve the problem either.
Is anyone else using the same ROM as i am and experiencing the same problem?
Does anyone know how i can fix this problem.
Thanks.
This is an APP question post in the correct area!!!

wrong section or not, i have the exact same rom on my dream and the market runs fine. just move the cm-update zip folder out of the cm updater and put it in the root of your sdcard then try wiping and reformating it. might help, might not. it's not a rom issue though as the market works fine on mine.
Ok thanks for the info ill try that now
Problem Solved
I wiped/factory reset, rebooted and it works fine again now. i dont know what caused this though.
Thanks

Cant enter 3G!

Hi, I have a problem with my 3G! It was working until I used a app called "WMLongLife" then when deleted it, my phone was stuck on 1X. I tried installing the app again and try to fix it but it didnt work. Can anyone help me?!
Sent from my TouchPRO2(Sprint) running FRX07.1
WMlonglife makes a lot of changes to your system, which might not be restored to original state when uninstalled. You might have to hard reset to return back to original. However, I will check the app thread, to see if it has been asked before.
How do you do a hard reset?

[Q] Lollipop- Bluetooth not working

Just flashed lollipop and everything works perfect except for Bluetooth. Phone simply says there are no other Bluetooth devices in range, and those devices can't see the nexus. I tried rebooting, factory reset, re-flashing stock lollipop using flash-all batch and even Wug toolkit just to cover all my options but still no work around. Anyone else experience this problem or can think of a way to fix it? Anything would help.

Hi, one of my friend faced similar issue and wiping the cache from recovery helped solve the issue.
Try wiping cache and reboot.

So I solved the issue. Re-flashed 5.0 to the device, rebooted, and wiped cache. It still didn't pick up bluetooth as of last night but it worked this morning. Also, for any android wear users (or at least moto 360) the phone wouldn't pick up the watch until I did factory reset on the watch and opened android wear on the phone itself in order to accept terms and conditions.
@TheRoice
thanks, has worked for me :good:

As far as I can tell it is not. It happens on fresh installs as well as backups :/
I think I finally got rid of the problem by restoring from an old backup through Switch.
Been 30 mins and no reboot yet.
Will come back after work with results from the day.
Update: back to rebooting.
Doesn't happen when an app is playing music/radio (Spotify etc)
Is there any way to get back to 100% stock?
Had to use twr to get out of bootlooping.
Or a link to get a working custom rom.
SMG920K is my model. Swedish version.

Lost SIM signal again! Please help!

yesterday I got it happened again: one of my sim cards suddenly lost signal. completely. and since then it keeps happening so randomly. please help!
im currently on oreo 41.3.A.2.75, BL unlocked, kernel packed by serajr's tool using ta_poc method with my own original TA, magisk installed, systemlessly xposed. i got it all working fine. until this issue happened.
i've also tried different ways: reflash, wipe data completely including sdcard, switch to DRMfix method, remove app by app, remove xposed... even switching SIM slots.... no luck so far.
about the issue, it just happens randomly without any clue. one of my SIM card just disappears. sometimes this one, sometimes the other. until now the only way is restart and pray it won't happen again.
please help! please!

Bro I'm having the same, loosing randomly my second sim card... Thought it was caused by some apps abusing of phone permission, but no luck it's not that. I cleared cache and art yesterday, now it's has not happened, but I guess it will happen again soon

it will, unfortunately. i tried almost everything except uninstall magisk, lose root and restore TA & stock image. maybe it will fix the problem but whats the point if we no longer have root right?
back to nougat it was running flawlessly so i have a doubt that it has something to do with the combination of oreo + magisk + ta_poc method but i have no idea.
in ta_poc method i see it executes something like ua_modem_switcher. does it has something to do with modem?
@serajr you mind having a look pls. sorry to bother you the master but im running out of hope...

Yes, removing magisk will lead to loose root access. But we can keep SONY features with kernel and TA.
The idea is :
-trying running stock OREO without root
-then adding custorm kernel with or without TA (original or drm_fix)
-at least adding magisk
I guess we need to try each step for a while
Maybe Serajr will have an idea, on my side i will try these steps and report...
highly appreciate that. i will do some more testings on my side too. the point is, although i know it will happen eventually but it happens so unpredictably its not easy to reproduce.
it may sound odd but you're here so i can at least hope it is just a software problem not hardware.
I was never be able to get my xz working with magisk 15 or 16. Always get the sim not recognized problem, maybe yours is magisk related.

My phone is working fine for some days so far. Just cleared cache and dalvik as I mentionned earlier. BTW before doing this I've updated my Magisk from 15.3 to 16 without clearing anything (maybe the problem is related). Will report soon if it's still working or not...

I did that, many times. clearing cache and dalvik seems do the trick. but it actually doesn't. it will work for a few days and the issue will happen again. unfortunately.
by the way I spent some times paying high attention to the screen just to wait for it to happen. It looks like the moment when it happens, SystemUI (or Home Launcher I dont know) is terminated (stopped) then I am brought back to lock screen and at that moment, one of my SIM gone. So to me it looks like a service (or an app) is terminated and isn't restarted properly?
have you tried using stock rom and see if the problem persists?

@Pandemic hmmm im not saying i dont believe but how do you explain it runs just fine for days after restart? usually 2 3 days then it happens.
and like i said the moment when it happens it looks like the whole systemui and running apps get force stopped.
lets say im playing a game then it becomes a bit laggy like its running out of memory then everything just closed then im brought back to lock screen and one of the signal indicator on status bar disappears.
do you happen to know any command that can restart the modem / cell / signal service? or any services related? just wanna try to manually execute it see if it fixes it.
also wanna mention again that im using ta_poc method for the drm sh!ts and it does have something like ua_modem_switcher executed. no idea whether it could be related
Hy guys, juste a quick update, my phone was working fine until 2/3 days. I've removed magisk but problem still happening, even clearing cache and dalvik didn't fixed it. My guess is, it could it be app related or crash due to RAM to high (my ram usage average is about 2.5 Go/day)...
Hi guys,
I have the same issue on a Note 4 (sm-n910f)....
I have been flashing roms in a long time and this is the first time it happens to me.
For me, the phone shows some lag, it auto restarts and the signal is lost. I can get it back by clearing delvik and cache, but this will happen at least twice a day.
I flashed stock and the problem goes away, does not happen even once on stock. So this tells me its not a hardware issue (i was so close in thinking its a motherboard issue)...
From reading various threads on this, i get to the conclusion that it is not device specific.
I have flashed half a dozen roms and only stock eliminates the issue. I stayed on stock for 3 days no issue, then reflashed lineage 15.1 and the problem is back. The really weird part is that this happened suddenly, not after a new flash or any operation on the phone.
Anyone figured this out?

Adding some additional info from my experience:
- Tried flashing latest BL and CP files (using odin) without any luck
- Tried various 15.1 roms as my device is not officially supported by lineage, again no luck
