Serious Problem.. PLEASE HELP!

Serious Problem.. PLEASE HELP!
so heres the story...
ive been flashing roms onto my tilt for about a month now... modding it and all that good stuff.. but i made a stupid rookie mistake..
so i was in a rush earlier today to get to work and i wanted to try phoenixs new rom... thinkin i covered all the bases...
i left the sim card in my phone when i flash his rom...
now my phone wont read my sim card... it still works and all..
but it just wont read the card and i cant connect to att..
i have another att phone wich i put my sim in.. and it works perfectly.
its just the tilt wont read it at all..
so do i have a shinny new building block? or is there a file or steps i could just install to fix..
i tried flashing differnet roms.. tried doing the cid/sim unlocker, tried searching..
but nothing..
please.. any help or answers would be greatly appreciated..
WHAT DO I DO???
Thank you..

Which ROM? I wasn't aware we had a chef named Phoenix.
I handle PR for a ROM called Phoenix, and this question should be in that thread IF you think it's a problem with that ROM specifically.
aka READ JIMMY'S RULES AT THE TOP OF THE FORUM.
that being said. I flash with the SIM in all the time, so I'm not exactly sure what you have done to your device.
Try a different Radio ROM, not a full ROM, a RADIO ROM.

Kinda makes me think he got it sorted? Yeah you spot on Burns should be in the correct thread

Either that or he's going to seek advice in the actual proper thread.
Now, the guessing game, either Dave or Kareem, I don't see Jimmy or NATF around too horrbily much anymore, though they're still here... hmmm...
Speaking of mods, you know who i haven't seen in a while? ATW.
Hmm...

I flash every new rom made and I have never taken out my sim card when i flash a rom. You need to post your question in the thread that you got the rom from.

We'd have seen him in the real thread, maybe a a miracle happened and it just started working, we all know phones have a mind of there own
See you been pimpin ya ROM out

I just handle the PR, MBV did a lot of the base work, Parley made it work and has been working on it since.
I agree with asfoor (below, I don't feel like putting another post in this thread)

Mods ...please close this thread... Thank you...

Please close this thread.
Yes -- he should ask me...in the right thread. I too never take my sim card out...ever. I flash 10 or 15 times a day when cooking.

[Q] Cyanogenmod Issue!

I have experienced that cyanogenmod roms don't support my sim operator, because my fone goes into bootloop if my sim is inside, tried using the roms with other sim,or without sim or airplane mode & the rom boots fine
Is there any way to overcome this issue? (except for changing the sim)

create a logcat(if you dont know how i worte a guide here link in my signature) and provide it with a brief discription of the problem here sim causes bootloop so that they can provide fix in future release of the given rom.

The fone should boot atleast inorder to take a logcat, I'm saying it doesn't boot with the sim inside

Tried many, CM7,9,10 ny various devs, even Cyanmobile.. None of them boot with my sim inside.. has to do with the operator..

you got a computer and a usb cable perform logcat via adb it takes a logcat before booting of the boot process.
please elaborate it goes in boot loop or stuck on boot logo or doesnt switch on in condition 1 & 2 logcat works not in 3.

Unable to PM this person (says no such user exists)

I googled about it before posting the question here
Many people complained about there sim not being supported by the Cyanogenmod ROM's
Seems to be a problem with the source itself, don't think the logcat would be of any help (because it's not a new issue, if u search this issue is already posted in the FIT forum here on XDA)
Just posted the question if any of the RD's or ERD's had a fix for this issue

look no dev is going to serve it to you on a plate here you gotta work for it if you want it.
the error might be in the solution but devs are guys who make changes to source right well they can make this change for you but your error ight be something they dont know they arent god exactly(how much you wish them to be) they are human and need help to understand your problem in on googling it no solution was present well make a logcat and present it to the dev with a big help header they are smart guys will figure out the error and make the changes for you in the next release but if you dont do anything but write your proble in Q&A well maybe god help you cause you will remain stuck.

Ok I will post the logcat, since i have to flash the CM rom again
Let's see how much that helps, thnks newys
Btw i knw devs are human beings, i would have posted the logcat had any developer asked for it, neways sinc u sed it will help ppl who read dis question, I wil post it soon enough

[Q] Will any damage happen to the phone if we use the unofficial roms ??

Hey Guys .!
I have Recently Rooted me Gnex cuz its have been stoped getting updates ,
But then i figure out that Root & ROM'S are more fun tho
so basically im a rookie at this and i wanna know that is there any damage to the if we use the unofficial roms like ( slimkat 4.4 , [CM-11.0] [KRT16S] Dreams or CM11 )

It is pretty safe. If you are worried, wait for other people to try it first

I had a Gnex for two years, running mostly AOKP. You can trust all of the recognized developers here at XDA. If you don't want to risk it, ALWAYS make an nandroid backup.

About the only time you may damage a device is by installing a ROM for a different device. As @justmpm mentioned, if you're having doubts about a particular ROM wait for someone else to post their findings to see then if you wish to try it or not.
Take your time and READ, READ, READ... That is the biggest mistake made around here. People see something they want and just jump in to it without doing any research or doing minimal research. There's in nothing wrong with being cautious.

make a nice backup and go on the safe side!

Hi there.
Yes it is safe as long as
1- You make complete backup
2- Follow proper guide to root and install your rom
3- If you are rookie. Try those roms that have already been tested and running smoothly by others.
Hope that will help you out

Of course bad things could happen also don't forget those same problems could occur with a factory OTA update.
Besides that you could end up with features on your device either gone or broken which I imagine could also happen with a factory rom.
None of them are 100% perfect and safe it is just something you have to accept and take measures before hand to be sure you have backups and/or find knowledge you need to bring your device back from the dead.
These are also all reasons NO ONE should EVER blindly start flashing things to their device without doing some reasearch which is where most problems come from.
Just inform yourself about what you are doing and a lot of things are pretty safe to do or try.
This is about the best advice that could be given I just realized I kinda took the long way around of saying mostly the same thing haha.

Well , If you flash a compatible ROM with your device correctly , nothing will go wrong !
but always take a nandroid backup just in case
the things that can harm your phone most of the time are just kernel related just don't overclock the CPU too much and do your best to avoid kernel tweaks
and every ROM on here has a list of bugs ! so using a custom ROM is totally safe BUT you need to check the bugs list before

worst thing that could happed is you brick your device if that happens just find the ruu for your device and itll restore it to factory settings

No, there's no problem if you flash it properly.....

I have bricked my Gionee GN 100 with a custom rom from another brand but it was the same model. So, take extreme care. I'm also not sure how to fix it. I have some backups but I used only cat. Screen is totally black the phone is technically dead.

Sorry to scare you just giving you realistic info.
Basically flash nothing without researching what you are doing is the biggest point to be taken.

Pretty much what's already been said about making sure the rom is for your specific advice. Usually it's just a soft brick if you flash the wrong rom. The real damage comes using custom kernels the wrong way. i.e. overclocking the cpu/gpu too much. That can cause permanent hardware failure...

I hard briocked my galaxy s3 and had to send it out to to be Jtaged. It was my bad though, just be careful and double check your files prior to flashing. Have ODIN on your computer and be ready to reflash as stock image if you mess somehting up too

I have messed up flashing loads of times and even when I thought my phone(s) was gone for good, I always found a way to bring it back...even if it takes a few hours/days haha...

Odin doesn't work for all devices. Some OMAP devices like Galaxy Tab, your S3, and a few others.

you will be fine as long as you read and follow directions exactly as they are posted. There is always a possibility damage, but if you are careful, you will be fine.

[Q] How to switch from CWM to TWRP?

My friend currently has CWM recovery but it's harder to interact with and shows a lot of errors sometimes. How can he switch to TWRP? Does he have to factory reset and then root and then twrp or is there a simpler method? Also he is interested to have a custom rom on his phone. Any suggestions? And also how can he get a rom? Is it as direct as other devices? Just flash in twrp? Pls n tq in advance

"CWM is known for stability and simplistic..." [well from my view]. It's the build he has. Try updating the recovery version and see if it helps.
But if you still want TWRP, then head here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a850/general/tutorial-install-cwm-twrp-lenovo-a850-t2642431
This tuto will ONLYmad work if you have the correct build number.

Haha, funny question, if you ask....:silly:
Lemme get this straight:
I know A LOT of ROMs for this phone, but...
I know NONE that would work.
Because I assume you aren't doing anything to the kernel, it's like living on the edge where you take things dangerously. As a bro, just play with XPOSED and do your best to pimp your stock rom. I had enough for about 15 modules.
However, if you found one that's work, hook me up.:laugh:

Well a tale from a citizen full of noobs has to be told...
You are among the luckiest person in the world to have an ROW (Registered Original for Worldwide) model of this phone, I assume by you able to flash kernels. We, received models of ALMOST ALL models of Lenovo phone here (Malaysia), that ISN'T SUPPOSEDLY SHIPPED OUT FROM CHINA, shipped here. So EACH (yes, each from a batch of shipping ) phone has a SLIGHT difference in build, firmware, libraries, SystemUI.apk versions, and the difference is, just a little numbers on the file hash that's crucial to it, makes ROMs, recoveries that is designed for that model TOTALLY NOT COMPATIBLE with the phone.
The culprit is this >>
ILLEGAL SHIPPING!
Undercovered by (not confirmed) the GOVERNMENT itself, sometimes...
So, we unlucky fellows stuck with stock ROM and some of them are CRAPPY CHEAP JUNK OF IMPOSTORS that catches the eye of its victim. Original models, ya say, is RIDICULOUSLY PRICEY because of the government's mother-effing TAXES. That's my story.:crying:

With this attitude no one will you help you. Help yourself and others on XDA and just don't root or do any other customizations to your phones. The answers to your issues are in the forums, but if you are not willing to do the research and reading required to fix issues that arise (your questions have been discussed thoroughly by the way), save yourself the time and trouble.
I have reported your second post to moderators. Foul language is not necessary and will not get you anywhere here.

Glad to hear you got it working. One major recommendation: edit your post where you used bad language. Better if you take responsibility and clean it up then a moderator. Second, as you have done, always report that your problem is resolved if it has been. If possible, details of what you did is always good to share as it may help others.

Here is what I will tell you. This is not a support site. This is a developers site. Which means if you come off rude, unprepared or didnt do your proper research then you will most likely be ignored. This site is hear for you to learn something and then learn to fix things on your own. Not to get tech support.
Take this as a lesson as this post could have easily gotten you banned.
