Hey guys... I recently encountered a problem with my nexus 5. Suddenly my phone lost signal and it won't receive any more signal.I was on the latest version of PA on 4.4.2 ...... Now I factory reset my phone and it's stuck on phone setup... What do I do?? I'll try flashing back to stock later and I'll see if it's fixed... Also, before factory resetting my phone, I checked my IMEI and it isnt gone.... It was still there.. Strange... Any suggestions on what I should do? Also, I don't have a nandroid backup....

Guys... Returning to stock didn't do anything... Still the same problem... Now I'm stuck in setting up the phone since it shows that my sim is inserted and it's trying to activate the sim... But it stays there forever ... I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the sim holder... When I tried removing the SIM card for the phone, it failed to eject my SIM card... Now I have to find a way to get my sim out... When I use the pin, it only opens 1/8.. It's too small to fit anything in it... What do I do?? Running out of ideas...
I could give my phone for repair but I live in Dubai and I don't think there are any service centers here...

Yeah definitely sounds like you need a repair. Contact google initially and sew what they say

Im Having Problems with my G2x Yes its Rooted it was working fine for a couple of months then today i was just texting and it just rebooted and its like it cant read my SIM card i cant get no signal So can any body help me?
It can't get no signal? So then it does get a signal. Anyhow....
1. Try turning airplane mode on then off
2. Try rebooting
3. Does it say Invalid SIM? Because if it does that's one thing if it doesn't it's a phone issue and can be caused by some ROMs
4. Repeat 1 and 2 above but standing out side where there is no question of signal quality.
5. If at this point you still have no signal tell us what ROM and kernel you have, and under volting or over clocking.

go into recovery, and try wiping cache, see if that fixes it. if not make a backup and wipe data. if it still is not fixed then try flashing a different ROM (even a gingerbread one if needed) and post back what you find.
if none of this helps your sim card might be busted, in which case call your local t-mobile store

did you follow the directions above?
if you did then one last step you can take is to use the LG KDZ flasher tool to completely and 100% restore the phone to factory condition (do a search in the development section)
this tool has been know to brick phones, so only do it if you have done all of the above things that i suggested.
if that doesn't work then it is most likely a hardware problem, which means you have a phone sized tablet now
Hey guys,
No matter what I do I can't get my service to work again. All it shows at the top is a little circle with a slash through the middle. I tried installing a custom rom but ran into some problems. So I "restored" my backup through rom manager. But i don't have service anymore. Since this happend I have tried several new roms and I still can't get the service to come back.
Some people say it has something to do with the IMEI but according to my setup I still have one.
I have been working on this problem for nearly 13 hrs none stop! Please help... I have searched everywhere.
Thanks

If your IMEI and all that information is correct then you may have a bad sim card resulting in no service at all. Otherwise i'd recommend using odin to go back to completely 100% stock and see if that fixes it.

Thank you so much for responding. I have tried to restore stock with odin but every time odin finishes my phone still boots up my existing rom. Any quick ideas with that one?
And do you really think my sim could have just gone bad like that? It's free to get a new one so maybe I will try that as a last resort.
I don't know much about rooting but could it be my radio?
A couple of questions?
Is boot loader unlocked, if so how did you unlock, updated ver 1.4 ez-unlock can mess up and relock boot loader. Use ver 1.2 . "Verizon only"
What ROM and kernel? Make sure its for your carrier.
Any radio should be OK as long as its for you phone and carrier.

did you try reprovisioning your device with dialer code *2767*3855?
note that this does wipe internal sd so back ur **** up!
I tired the above number in dialer but always comes up with error saying "mobile network not available".
Am I doing something wrong?
Oh.... You forgot to ad a # on the end of that number. After this everything started working again!!! Thank you so much!

What fixes the problem. This happened to me after flashing the latest MIUI ROM on my Verizon S3.
I tried re provisioning my phone with the number sequence below but it did not work. I also used the phone info app but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.
I have a verizon m8 rooted unlocked twrp 2.7.1.0 , yesterday i attempted to log in to a mobile game it kept telling me (unable to connect) i then tried to log into facebook just to see if i had data which i did and in turn was able to log in my problem is every time i try and make a call my signal dropps from 4 bars 4g to none the call never goes through but i can send and recive texts and log into the play store im even able to sign into xda with the phone i just cant make or recive calls and certain apps say no connection availible mc4,e strong file manager ... Any help would be appreciated oh and its not the sim card either i was thinking it was because i (trimmed) my old sim from my xt926 to fit into the m8 but i use the same card in my wifes s4 and can call all i want ...so radio issues ? Please help lol
I'd suggest flashing factory and unrooting to see if that works and if it doesn't send it to be fixed

After doing the sd card ruu thingy I found out that it's a hardware problem due to its persistence this thread can be deleted by the mods at will thanks for helping all those who helped .
So today, my phone randomly stops giving me any service. No bars, nothing. It doesn't say that there's no SIM card, but there's a message saying that I should restart my phone because a SIM card was added. Is there any way to fix this?
There may be ways to fix it but it depends on what the problem is so you must troubleshoot it first.
The obvious first steps are to try the sim in another phone and try another sim in your phone.

Tried. My sim works fine in other phones. Just my Nexus
all then its either software or hardware. If you're on stock ROM, factory reset. Still not fixed? Needs repairing

Hi guys its been a month since I am facing this no Sim error. After N number of restart it detects Sim and issue comes back again after 2 days or if i restart my phone. Then again I have to restart for number of times to get signal back again hence i dont think it is a hardware issue. I don't know wether upgrading to marshmallow has done the harm or a month back i completely drained out my battery, that has done the harm? I tried updating/changing the rom, bootloader Version, baseband Version but no luck.? I love my nexus 5 and 8 don't want to dump it. Please help me find solution.
ROM CHROMA 5th April build date.
Android 6.0.1
Baseband M8974A 2.0.50.2.29
Please help me find the solution for this.
Flash factory images via fastboot to revert back to stock. That should fix the sim error reading.

Lock the bootloader? Or just flash (I don't want to loose photos and music on my phone)
No need to lock the bootloader after flashing a stock ROM.

is it necessary to flash userdata.img?
Flashing userdata.img is not necessary if the phone will boot.
I recommend flashing TWRP, booting into TWRP, and copy your data off the phone to a computer.

Is it possible that the sim reader has been physically damaged? Was the phone use with any type of nano to micro sim adapter?

I don't think it's a hardware issue, because say after 10-12 restarts it detects sim
Maybe the SIM card is defective? It could still be an intermittent hardware issue.

The same Sim card works fine on other devices and tried different Sims too. Still no luck. Can this be a Marshmallow issue? I have read people having this issue after updating it to 6.0.0
I have worked on 7 to 8 nexus 5 phones, all with mm and none of them experienced this sim issue. 7 to 8 phones is not a large sample so I can't really make any conclusive statement.

Will reverting back to kitkat do any good?
Btw after 10 restart i have got back the radio. But this is not the solution but a temp fix. I hope it does not lose it again.
You could try flashing a completely stock kk rom but I am not sure this will fix the issue. You could always try since flashing is quick, setting everything again is a pain.

That is the main issue. Wiping completely and setting up device is really boring. Hence i wanted to know if anybody has tried and solved this issue. Anyways have to try for the love of my nexus ?
I have the same issue (not detecting simcard after booting - no signal after reinserting the card) and a complete reflash of the image has not resolved the issue. Neither has a factory reset etc.
Still stuck with a non phoning phone basically...

It never does after restarts, but it does detect it immediatly after I remove the card/tray and put it back in. I have to do this each time the phone restarts.

Does it get network? Mine also detects Sim but does to connect to network and says no service.
Nope no network at all. No service is all I get as well.
Searching for networks also fails. Via the diagnostics menu I see that the radio is turned off, but I cannot activate it.
Tonight I'm going to take out the battery and see if that resets the hardware... If it works I will let you know.
