wtf, I'm having problems and I get this error randomly,
"SIM not allowed MM#3" I get this error and it stops working the sim card.
I have to be constantly alternating between airplane mode and normal, so it stays.
I had this error from 2.3.6 and now in the new 4.0.4 ota remains,
is hardware problem?, clarified that this phone will not I have an AT & T simcard, this phone I bought and brought to another country with another operator.
They are freed buy phones that AT & T, I wonder if it's a problem with the AT & T bloatware that interferes with this.

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
Hello. Sometimes when I turn on the phone and unlock the SIM with my PIN, it just gets stuck in the unlocking SIM message. The phone gets signal, even internet access, and I get notifications, everything runs OK behind, but I can't use the phone because that message is there in the middle of the screen. Not even enabling airplane mode fixes it, I have to reboot. I haven't tried removing the SIM, though. I recently wiped everything > flashed a factory image > flashed cataclysm > flashed franco BUT it already happened before and keeps happening now.
Also, sometimes I see a strange error in the status bar (more often when the SIM problem occurs? dunno). In Spanish (the language the phone is set to) it says:
"El acceso restringido se ha modificado"
Which in English is, more or less:
"The restricted access has been modified"
When I pull down the notifications, it's already gone, and the phone keeps working perfectly
I can't RMA it (it's not officially sold in the canary islands, well, it is via amazon but when they announced that it was too late), so I hope it's a bug. Any ideas?
I think it would be useful to know that it's a real microsim (not a cut-down SIM), a movistar one, and I don't have any other microsims to test or other phones that use microsim. The phone is from the UK.
I can't get a signal on my phone. It keeps showing the "emergency calls only" message. When I try to call someone, it shows an error message: "network not registered".
Weird thing is, it was working flawlessly a few hours ago. I didn't mod it, nothing is different. I just charged it and rebooted.
I tried toggling airplane mode on/off, factory reseting, and it didn't fix my problem. My IMEI shows up correctly on settings, and the phone is being used in the same region I bought it.
OBS: If I put the sim card on another phone, it works. When i put it back on the s6, it keeps working until i reboot it, and after that it doesnt register on the carrier network anymore.
Anyone can help me with this?
No one?
I've exhausted all my known options! I can't keep a phone that can't even be turned off. If the phone freezes, that means I'll not have a signal until i can find another phone to put my sim on, and then back again on mine...
I'd really appreciate some help, since support where I live is crappy and chances are that i'll have to take the loss on the defective phone if I can't fix it.
Went to the carrier, tried other sims, even other carriers sims. Still nothing.
You can't get warranty from who you bought it from or else samsung? it sounds like a defect somewhere, if you are lucky it could just be the simcard tray but else it is something inside the phone
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
Hello guys,
Since last update I have some weird issues with my phone.
The issue:
Randomly the phone will go into "no sim inserted" mode.
Within seconds the sim will "reconnect" and get network again.
One the issue happens, it does it non stop ever few minutes, also draining the battery in the process
This happens exactly since I updated to 10.3.0.
What I have tried:
- Rebooting the phone - No improvement.
- Removing the sim and putting it back in - fixes the issue for a couple of days
- Changing sim tray - Same as above
Carrier: SFR-RED (France).
Phone is unlocked and rooted with latest magisk.
Any of you have a clue what this can be?
Thanks
