I switched my Infuse over to MIUI from stock, first time ever trying to flash a rom, got it all done, put in my pin to unlock my sim card and it won't go past the unlocking sim screen it just sits there won't let me do anything, i take the sim out and phone works perfectly just can't text or anything.....any ideas how to fix it?

Ok so i tried the unlocking method 1 for my sensation and found my 8 digit unlocking code, however when i put in any other sim card rather than the one the phone is locked to is says no sim card in phone so i have no way of inputing the unlock code.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance
i think it states in the unlock thread that it wont work with ALL sensations
Thanks for the reply, yes for some people method 1 just shows a date, but mine gave me the 8 digit unlock code.
The problem is the phone is locked to Meteor but when i insert any other sim then a Meteor one it says no sim card in phone, it should ask to enter the 8 digit network unlock code which it doesn't because its not recognising the sim card for some reason.
mine too, not detect the sim card..
Did you solved the problem?
regards

Did you put the code in with the meteor sim inserted?
you could always just flash another ROM and that should fix the issue, I know it's a bit drastic but if you really want to use another carrier...

What does the phone say when you insert another sim card from another carrier
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
The phone (locked to fido) comes up saying.. nothing not even a notfication that an non fido sim is in the phone
as well i have not done a thing to the phone other than update it to the newest android version through LG
the phone turns on and on the lock screen says no network then say no sim card.
I recommended going back to stock froyo 2.2 and turning the phone off then put the new Sim card in and start it up and it should work. I had issues unlocking until I just flashed back to factory and then it worked like a charm. Good luck
Pin it to Win it.
would you have a guide to reverting back to stock 2.2?
I don't have the link handy but if you search for stock 2.2 rom you should be able to find it. You just flash it and unlock, then restore your rom and done like dinner.
Pin it to Win it.
nope
I am on android 2.2.2 now and still geting network unlock request unsuccessful when entering the codes and yes they are real codes and the number match up with my imei
what is going on??
I used to have this problem. A quick battery pull always solved the issue.
It doesn't happen to me anymore though.
still on going for me lots of battery pulls
Any update on this thread... Im having the same problem
Is it possible to use the Inspire without a sim card on WIFI for internet and email?
Every Android phone I have ever used has allowed me to "use" the phone without a sim card, but the inspire has a pop up message saying:
phone options
unable to detect your sim card.
Please make sure that your sim
card is properly inserted and
restart your phone.
The only two options that I have are "shut phone down" or "restart", and I have been unable to find a way past this message to use this as a wifi only device.

You should have not an issue to do that....make sure that there's no SIM in the phone or you won't be able to use it. With no sim on it u can access the phone and use WI FI and mail with no problems at all...I am currently using it no sim at all...
theres no sim in it, yet i keep getting that same message....tried rebooting the phone and everything.

Have u entered wrong unlock code a few time? that will lock the sim...Maybe u can try rooting and gaining S-OFF to see what happens...of course is your choice, but the Hack Kit will give u simunlock...it should work after that.

I actually just picked this phone up via a trade so my wife could try Android out, so all I can say is that I haven't entered the wrong unlock code as I haven't attempted to unlock it.
Thanks for the help, though, I appreciate it.
yeah easy way is just to run the ace hack kit...it will unlock and root it...THEN you shouldn't have no problem of running it without sim card...very simple and easy to do too
Hi all, I think I looked everywhere for similar issue, including xda, but no luck. I got my "new" Sensation yesterday and, obviously, I wanted to have a custom rom as I do on my Desire. So I unlocked the bootloader and flashed both recovery and new rom (yes, the phone is still S-ON because I just couldn't get it to S-OFF, no matter what method I tried there was always an issue and I couldn't complete the procedure. if it's important I can explain in details what I tried/not tried). Right now it sits on CM-10.2 | AOSP 4.3 Jellybean [KANG] with 4EXT recovery. Everythin is fine however the phone is locked to O2 and I'm with T-Mobile. I tried to get the phone to S-OFF in order to remove the simlock myself but as I mentioned, no luck. So I got pissed off and I bought the unlock pin code. I've inserted my T-Mobile card, phone asked for the pin, I've entered it and boom, phone is unlocked. Great, I think to myself... well not really. One, the phone just won't get the signal (and I tried putting it to GSM mode only) and two, every time I reboot it the message to enter network pin come up . So I enter the code again and that's the end of the loop. Tried hard reset after entering the pin code but after a reboot it would still ask for the unlock pin and then won't pick up any signal. I've tried giffgaff sim card and that works straight away (as it works under O2) so it's not the phone issue (well, not the sim card port anyway).
Any ideas/solution/questions a-ny-thing would be greatly appreciated as I'm about to rage quit and give up on it .

Hi,
Could it just be the t-mob sim card?
Is there any chance to get a new one from them?

Thought that but the card works fine in my Desire. Never had any problems with it. What gets me is that constant message asking for the network pin after rebooting the phone. Surely once the code is entered the phone is unlocked ...
If I can't find any solution by monday I'll visit their shop and ask for a new sim or I'll just move my number to giffgaff >_>
Obviously if anyone has any solutions or ideas feel free to share them and I will be sure to try them. I'd really appreciate it!!
Sorry for double post
Hi, I recently received an unlock code for my moto g. But when I put another sim in I don't get the prompt to enter my unlock code, just says no sim and "emergency calls only". I've tried rebooting and taking sim in and out.. I'm just wondering if it has something to do with me not being on a stock ROM, I'm using omniROM at the moment. Will I have to return to stock in order for it to pick up the other sim or is there another way to get the unlock code window up?

Is this a two-sim phone, or single sim phone? And, are you sure the sim is good. Tell us which device you have by model number.
Single sim xt1032. And yes it was one of my friends working sims..
I am wondering if the contact on the sim are just not lining up correctly. Do you have other sims to try just to get a feel of the percentage of those that work and those that do not? Testing with just two sims is not effective. You will need maybe 6 to get a metric. If 5 work and 1 doesn't then it is probably that sim.
Yeah I tried a few more. I just decided to revert back to stock and it worked straight away.. Thanks for your help anyway!
