So, I manually flashed the Lollipop update on my Nexus 5 using the Nexus Root Toolkit. Everything worked well except phone calls through the phone or Viber or Hangouts. I was unable to receive any phone calls or make any calls.
So I re-flashed the Nexus 5 lollipop update and now even during the setup I started getting messages where the phone would just search for a network. Everything started to break eventually. First Wifi then Google services broke as well. After flashing 5-6 times and still going through the same issue, I decided to re-flash Android 4.4.4 and things are working well except SIM card again. Looks like either the SIM slot is broken somehow or something didn't flash well. I tried using a different SIM as well but to no avail.
Please help me in deciding what to do next. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Any one?

I've got an AT&T One X that I've had for about 2.5 months now. It's all stock ROM and has been working fine up until recently. I've started to randomly get a "SIM not found" error and it says I can only make emergency calls. If I toggle Airplane mode on and off, it typically finds the sim and things work fine for a while. It has happened today 4 times over the course of about 1 hour, so it's getting really frustrating. I already had the sim card replaced the first time it gave me this error, so I'm thinking it's not the sim card causing this, but other than that I'm at a loss.
Has anyone here experienced this and is there anything that I can do to fix the problem? Thanks for your help!
Requested moving to at&t forums.

Backup your personal data, and try a factory reset.
Otherwise, if its all stock, and you've tried a different SIM, then you may have hardware failure, such as a broken SIM tray.
Hi, recently I've been having a problem with my phone (Newman K18), it can't make or receive calls. (When I fist got the phone and SIM they worked fine together, it worked for about a month I think.)
When I try to ring someone it will hang up straight away.
When someone calls me they will just hear a beeping sound.
Texts and mobile data still work fine.
Things I've tried:
- Restarting my phone many times
- Re-inserting the SIM
- Looking through all available settings.
- Factory resetting the phone
- Swapping from SIM slot 2 to SIM slot 1 (dual sim phone)
- Ringing customer support - I called my carrier (Three UK) and they weren't any help
- Asking in a Three store - I learned here that a different Three SIM I tried didn't work either - same problem.
In order to diagnose whether my phone was faulty or the SIM, me and my friend swapped SIM cards.
- With his SIM card in my phone everything worked fine (So my phone is not faulty)
- With my SIM in his phone everything worked fine too (So the SIM is fine)
So I am absolutely lost as for what to do, tried a lot of googling and not found any way to fix it.
Any help would be appreciated; Thanks.

I had just about the exact problem on my Nexus 5. Have you tried calling customer care for your network? My phone profile was deleted by ATT by accident during a plan upgrade. I had to call from a friends phone to figure this out and fix it. Good luck

Hi, thanks for the reply. I did ring them previously and they didn't seem to have ever heard of the problem. What would you suggest I say to them? What exactly is a phone profile?
Thanks.
Have them look into the account and look at your line only. That is your phone profile. Have them trouble shoot your line and check voicemail.

Ok, that wouldn't explain a different three SIM having the same problem though would it? or would it?
Thanks
I am clueless now. You should now probably contact the phone maker itself to see what they say. Sorry man I could help you.

Hi all. Did the update to my Shield now my tablet does not recognize my Sim card. Tried same Sim card on my iPad and it works so this means that there is something wrong with my Shield.
By the way my tablet was not rooted, only the bootloader was unlocked. Did the update through the update manager of my tablet and all seemed good until the Sim card issues. Any ideas?

Maybe you flashed a wifi-only ROM ?
This was already a problem in the first Lollipop ota update. I had to factory reset, wipe cache to get the sim to be detected consistently. This was not an issue at all on Kit Kat.
It happens whenever the cellular data is turned off or tablet is in airplane mode for a prolonged period of time.
Will try and wipe cache as well and see what happens

FYI...this still happens on my set from time to time which is currently on Lollipop 5.01

Just got a new Shield Tablet from Nvidia. Nothing I tried with my old one seemed to help. So if this is happening to you, I suggest you call Nvidia.
Same problem here after OTA 2.2. My o2 SIM is not detected anymore. 2.2.1 didn't solve the problem. This tablet is just a piece of crap! Noise from the GPU, GSM noise trough the speakers (well, GSM was working there) and now this. Brilliant work Nvidia, thumbs up!
any solution?? or new info?
I had to turn on data roaming to get it to recognize my Sim, then I had to make my net10 APN twice and then delete both at&t apn's before I got my data/SMS working. I can't guarantee it'll work, but it's something, at least.

I installed an xposed module called force screen rotation. It froze my phone so badly that i had to hard reboot. I unistalled the module and continued using the phone. I realized i wasn't receiving any texts. I tried uninstalling xposed. Still no texts. I clean installed my rom and still no texts. I clean installed a new rom. Still nothing. I can send texts. I can send and receive calls. I just cant receive texts. Please help.
Hi,
Since you installed a fresh stock ROM I assume this is a modem or carrier related issue. Have you tried checking if the APNs are okay? Or have you tried the sim card in another phone to check if messages are coming in?
All the best,

Apns are good. I hadn't even thought to check the sim card. I will do as soon as my wife is home with her phone. Thanks for the response!
I switch out sim cards and mine was doing the same thing in my wife's phone. Funny thing is when I switched them back it started working again! Thanks again!

A few weeks ago I started having signal losses on my D820, later on it stopped detecting my SIM card altogether after I reset it.
It's been going on-and-off until about 2 weeks ago when a factory reset and cache wipe seemed to have fixed the problem - or so I thought - until it happened again today in what seems to be a permanent metamorphosis of my phone into an over-glorified 5" tablet with NFC.
So I started snooping around the googles, seems to be a common problem.
(can't post links yet but google isn't lacking results under "nexus 5 no sim no signal" and "Nexus 5 SIM not recognizing")
So far none of the "Turn airplane mode on and off" or "Reinsert the SIM / clean the slot" tech support quotes helped. The phone is physically intact, and none of the 3 SIMs I have in my disposal get any signal on the device in the rare case they even get recognized (My brother's G4 works fine with all 3). I did a few full factory flashes - ROM, Radio, recovery, everything (M4B30Z - latest 6.0.1, MMB29S, and even went back to 5.1.1 LMY48M). Also tried the latest CM13 snapshot, later on with a factory radio image on top but absolutely nothing. The CM ROM managed to consistently read the SIM but it didn't get any signal.
I would highly appreciate any information or insights, and even though I'm not exactly an expert I will be more than happy to help troubleshooting this jazz.
The phone shows the correct IMEI#? Phone is not blacklisted for some reason?

No reason to believe it is. Had it for over a year now, came unlocked without any contract with in closed packaging from a trusted retailer, IEMI was fine on the day of purchase.
It shows the correct imei via dialler?
Did you check imei on blacklist checker on swappa? Not likely to be blacklisted but you may as well rule it out.
If it's not blacklisted and can't be resolved via flashing roms, it could be a hardware failure.
The IEMI is fine and the phone is clean.
It could be hardware but that doesn't explain the problem being temporarily solved for quite a while by wiping the system, and a lot of the users complaining stated they started having the problem after upgrading to 6.0.1.
I've been running on stock unrooted MM for a while with no problems. A couple of people at work also run stock MM without an issue. I wonder if the problem is related to a particular batch.
