Hello. First time posting in a forum. Many thanks to all who have guided me..
I had to give a friend my boostmobile moto g because I was so lost trying to get it back to working order. When he gave it back it worked in all ways except it now asks for a sim card. Its CDMA and never had a sim nor is there a spot for one. Does anyone know what went wrong and how to fix it. Its the 8gb and now has the cyanogenmod on it. I have no service on it now

i've looked through tons of threads and can't figure this out so i thought i'd ask. i rooted my friends galaxy s captivate 2.2 froyo and unlocked his sim flawless with one click. now the sim he has from his gophone says "sim crash" call support etc....when booting up. is a gophone sim not compatible? i've read on ONE thread out of 50 that it isn't, so what prepaid sim's can he use? straight talk and gophone's are the only one's with service in our rural area. i appreciate any help. thanks very much.
we just tried my verizon plan phone sim and it didn't work. i didn't even know verizon had a sim until that point.
It is saying so, that SIM card is crashed because your phone has not unlocked properly. Try to put another SIM or if not work get it unlocked properly but it is definitely a problem because you have not unlocked your phone properly.

Ive only ran into the "sim crash" issue back when I wroked for att. Right before I stopped working there att started locking the sims for a set period for gophones that came with credit to cut loses from people getting the credit & reselling the phone etc. A new sim may resolve th issue.
I apologize ahead of time if this has been asked or even answered but I HAVE been researching and finding NO help in my problem.
I purchased a Straight Talk phone the other day for the SIM chip as my last resort for immediate phone service. I had been told by many people that it would be able to be slapped into my phone and I would have no problems after changing the APN settings. I set up the plan and made my account with Straight Talk and then took the Card out and put it into my device.
My device is rooted with Cyanogen Mod and has S-OFF.
I then tried to start the phone up and got a message saying "No SIM card"
I did not get prompted to enter an unlock code or anything, just the No SIM card error which also means I can't save APNs...
The SIM Card works in the phone I bought it from, which is the Motorola W418G.
Now I have no clue if I am missing something, did I mess up? Or is it that for some god awful reason that SIM chip won't work in my phone at all?
Please any information, links, replies, ANYTHING is HIGHLY appreciated and again I am sorry if this specific question has been asked and answered, I could find nothing on this specific problem and I am hoping I didn't just waste a ton of money on going back to a pretty basic flip phone...

Pretty sure you need sim from another phone, a couple years ago it was the nokia e71. But nowadays you can just order a sim from the website

Please post all questions in the Q&A section. Thanks! Thread moved.
I have the exact same issue as you JV. But I'm experiencing it with a Galaxy Nexus that can't recognize the SIM card that was bought with a Samsung SGH-T528G. The SIM card work fine in the T528G but not in Galaxy Nexus and also not in my wife's previous flip-phone. I have a T-Mobile SIM card that works fine in the Galaxy Nexus and in the flip-phone. And yes, the Nexus is running stock, non-rooted and unlocked (from the Play store).
I'm curious - did you figure out the issue? Any solution for your phone might work for mine... Thanks in advance!

You have to cut the sim for micro sim devices to use T-Mo with ST. At least for now. HTH.

XDA I really need your help.
So I am with Sprint at the moment and just bought a Straight Talk sim to try out before I commit and ditch Sprint. I can not get the sim to work and get cell signal. I know the sim works because I popped it in my girlfriends HTC one X and it picked up a signal at least.
The thing is, I don't have any place in my settings to change APNs or anything. It's like the phone is modified for CDMA somehow. I bought it from Google Play and not Sprint.
Any help is really appreciated.
Did you switch it to GSM? You may have to do it in *#*#4636#*#*.

You need to switch the phone from CDMA mode to GSM mode the only way I know of doing this is factory reset with the GSM Sim card inside the phone. If anyone can add anything else/methods please post :good:
Whenever I switch my Moto G on, it comes up with a screen saying sim network unlock pin. I think the problem started when I got the US version of Android, but I got it back to the GB version but problem hasn't gone. When I went to Tesco to sort out the problem, the man spoke to someone at Motorola and they tried some codes but nothing worked. I think he said that it had locked its self to a different network. Help?
Thanks
Ok, so I unlocked bootloader through Motorola web site, rooted and used it from Wed through Sunday. Went to swap it over for wife and AT&T was closed so I cut down the SIM from her phone to use and it wouldn't read it. I thought no big deal and setup the phone on WiFi to go to the AT&T store in the morning and get a new SIM. Now it will not read any SIM card. This a known issue or a new problem, or did I somehow fry the SIM slot when I cut one down? Tried a reset with no luck, any help is appreciated.

Hey guy! Don't worry, i already had this problem. I just stock restored it and it started to work! Anyway, if it don't help you, do what my friend did: Install another ROM and after that install the Motorola's ROM.
Hope I helped you!
Sorry for the English...
