My s2 i777 will not see my sim card I need any advice to help with this I bought the phone From someone and they did not tell me this. anyway they said that they had a custom rom on it before they restored to factory settins is there anything I can do thanks in advance.
is it just your sim card that it can't read or have you tried multiple sims? if you've tried multiple sim, odds are you have a defective sim card slot.
I reflashed a stock image on my s3 now I want to reflash stock with root. When I put my sim card in it the s3 wants to update the system..right now I have the note 2 if I take my sim card out of the note 2 and put it in my s3 just to update it then root it, will the update in my s3 mess my sim card up to where I cant use it correctly in my note 2? Its for a family memeber so theyre goin to put their sim in and I dont want them to erase the root by updating .
Sorry if this is a little confusing..
Thanks..

I'm not QUITE sure what you're trying to say, but I'll try my best to respond.
SIM cards shouldn't affect ANYTHING beyond telling the phone what carrier to operate on. If you update the phone itself, that's the phone's software. Nothing on the SIM should be touched. If you want to update a phone using the service from a SIM card (The GS3 in your case), the GS3 will recognize your service and download/install the update.
While the update may include new radios, etc. the update shouldn't mess up your SIM to the point of it not working on any phone.
I hope I helped. If you need anything else just ask.

You'll be fine. I picked up a lg spectrum locally and use the sin from my s3 to activate it just to take the ics ota. Put it back into my s3 without a problem. I actually for a week I would swap to the lg When at work and back when I left and never had a problem.

Hi All,
I have MicroMax A100. Suddenly boot problem developed after unsuccessful installation of some games.
From Reflashing by above post able to boot device but could not detect sim card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842908&page=21
I tried all possible way i.e. remove battery & sim card as well as SDRAM for 10 mins. etc.
Nothing happens. Same SIM working well in other mobile.
When I google it I found many people having similar problem where after flashing SIM is not detecting. Is there any generic answer for this Generic Question.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe you could reflash or do another rom or reset your whole device.
Hope it helps
i would suggest you to try checking in other phones...(probably not a smartphone) i encountered the same problem after flashing my phone with the wrong ROM... somehow i got my SIM card running again.....
if you still face the problem... get your SIM card Replaced with a new SIM card and same number from your service provider. that way u can get your number activated:angel:
Hi
Can someone please help? I've an ICS on atrix 2 running at&t ROM official on Indian Atrix 2,unfortunately I've lost my CID & getting cid error on boot & want to bypass it with bmm
I searched many threads couldn't get fix.i want to root my device and I was told to root using BP tool,I've no clue how to root using bptool as I've tried one click ICS root which didn't help,if someone can guide me or provide a link how to Root using bptool & also I need a bmm apk file as playstore doesn't have it,please need help.I'd really appreciate all the help
AFAIK, if you have not backed up your CID, you have to live with that error
Each phone has its own CID

Many thanks I followed your procedure & rooted it,one more question here as I've an Indian atrix 2 MB865 but flashed ATTversion I'm getting sim not found error,is this cause of flashing at&t or some other reason,here is the thing
I insert a micro sim of one carrier by Name Aircel it detects for sometime & again no sim card
If i insert normal mini sim card of mostly all the carriers ive tried ,it'll not detect my sim no matter what i do
Ive tried both 32k & 64k sim.i believe atrix 2 has mini sim,but still don't detect mini sim,but it detected micro sim for couple of hours
Sim I've used
Aircel -micro sim worked for 2 hours
Aircel - mini sim didn't work
Vodafone - mini sim didn't work
Docomo - mini sim didn't work,
Could you please help me,should I reflash Indian fxz? Or is it just a radio problem? Could you link me to correct fxz of Indian version please as I've already messed my phone with cid not saved,also if I flash back to Indian fxz will I've any problems flashing as I've CID error?last thing should I delete Boot menu manager & unroot before flashing? All your help highly appreciated
Regards
1. You're sure that your SIMs work, right?
2. Because mine is AT&T, so I don't have any experience flashing cross ROM
Here're what I know from your post:
- I think you can use alcohol to clean your SIM holder
- You don't need to remove BMM or unroot before flashing, just flash it by RSD, like you raze your house and build a new one, you don't care what are inside your home :silly:
Thanks again,I've flashed back to Asia retail using the bat file without using rsd lite,thanks to the developers ,makes things so easy,coming to the sim issue ,even after rolling back to Asia retail the sim problem still there,not detecting sim.it only detects one particular carrier sim that's aircel & its a micro sim whereas our atrix2 has mini sim.I'm really confused now,where am I wrong
You said clean sim holder as in the sim card slot which holds sim card inside the phone or do I clean the sim card ? The chip portion?
Do you think the sim tray is faulty ? If faulty it wouldnt detect any sim ,but it detects micro sim of one particular carrier,I'm sorry to throw so many questions at you,really appreciate your help
Hi,
I meant the golden contact points of your phone, just clean it for sure
But if you already flashed different ROMs or tried many SIM cards then I think there must be problem with your hardware (SIM holder or something else I don't know)
Mini SIM or micro SIM doesn't matter, just the size
To remove cid err on bootlogo, you should try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406867

Not sure if anyone has run into this at all but all help is appreciated. I rooted my unlocked g930u. Its on the latest firmware for the unlocked variant. I installed my Verizon sim card and a message popped up saying g it had to restart to download carrier specific features. When it reboots, it reboots into recovery mode and gives me a DRM has failed message. I'm not sure why this is attached to the sim card because if I restart the phone wothpout a sim, I can use it normally. Thanks guys
