[Q] Sim Card Un-Readable?

So after doing something dumb with CWM, fixing it and being back on on ED1. I am getting an error message saying Sim Card unreadable or not supported.
and ideas why?

Negative! But I am all ears...I forgot not to recover LOL. I'm in the same boat, I'm going to try n get a new sim card tomorrow

hmmm
so you used the recover too? Then fixed the brick and now no Sim Card reading?
My Sim Card wouldn't read a new one VZW tried to put in there, so its being replaced, this might be an unexpected consequence.
which package did you use to fix your phone after trying the recover tool?

Haha yea, I was so used to doing it on my Evo that it was second nature to me. I work at my local Bestbuy, so I'm sure it won't be an issue. Plus even if they found out I did root it, to them it functions perfectly I used the almost full one. But ironically it only worked for me when I didn't click on the re-partition. I went against the grain and it worked somehow!

Same thing I did, (did re-partition however), The almost one was the only one that worked for me. Then I had to flash ED1 rooted and it came up with the sim card reading error.
Interesting.

You said that after getting a new sim card it didn't work still? Did you end up rooting your new phone? We must remember not to recover!!

That is correct, a new sim card will not work, it seems to be the reader.

Yea it was pretty crazy

OH BTW! Lookie what I found?!
SIM Card - Inserting / Removing - Motorola DROID Pro (XT610)
Do not attempt to insert or remove the SIM card with the battery still installed in the device. Doing so can harm the SIM card and / or the device.

Gentlemen! You may want to check with DroidXcon on this topic.
He had the exact same problem a couple of days ago while building one of the first ROMs for the EE4 release.
There is a software solution for the "dead SIM" issue. I just don't remember who DroidXcon contacted to fix the problem, but it did get fixed by another dev.
P.S.: When you find out the solution, it would be nice to post it here.
Cheers!

I think you are talking about the read only sdcard issue with rooted kernels on EE4... I was the dev who showed him how to fix i.. But either-way its completely unrelated

Sorry - I was sure I saw DroidXCon saying that he had a problem with his SIM card not being recognized (and the SD card problem, too) a few days ago while he was on the IRC, and we were confused how loading a new ROM would affect SIM card reading.
I'm sorry for any misinformation I provided.
My bad.

glad to know i'm not the only one in exactly the same situation

Unknown Baseband Version
Im no expert but i think the sim card is not being read because the phone has a unknown baseband version. Now if only we could find a way to restore that.
I've tried flashing stock ED1 ED2 EE4 and nothing
After flashing all those, everytime i checked settings>about phone>Baseband version says unkown
It would be awesome if a developer could look into this and find a fix for it if thats what the problem is.

hm. I haven't been able to get there fast enough.

I seem to be in the same boat. Unknown baseband version shows:
i510.06V.EE4
Unkown
Can't connect to network as the sim card can not be read. Hoping there is a software fix.

Urgent help needed

Till now i haven't faced any issues on my desire s, but today i faced a weird problem. I was normally using it when it got warm so i decided to restart it. After restarting i got the message "insert sim card". I have been trying to solve this issue from last 2-3 hrs but no luck till now. Plz help guys.

Take out battery,sim and sdcard for hour n so .
And try.
If still no luck then wipe data format all except sdcard.
Reflash ROM that will probably solve your problem.

Which rom have u tried?
Have you tried a different sim card?
could be that there is dirt on the points that touches the sim, try wiping it.
Shouldn't be a rom issue if indeed u tried different roms.

First of all thanks a lot for replying.
I've tried many roms. Currently running latest official ICS ruu. I also believe there there be the issue with sim slot points. I tried opening the phone but sim slot is not getting exposed. Please can you suggest me how to do it?

I buy used phone, but I work 40 days with no problem. I change the ROM to Slim ROM and work exelent. Last night it was working very well, then I go to sleap, and Now i see it doesent work. I do new sistem on ODin but still notiing.

Sounds to me like someone probably reported it stolen and your IMEI has been blacklisted.

[Q] Nexus 5 not recognising sim card anymore...

It just stop working few day's ago, can't make it work with any sim card anymore. It all happens at 6.0.1. I tried to install 5.0.1. with no luck there, and 4.4.4. that didn't work either but at least at 4.4.4. I could mess a little bit with finding carrier at settings , with 6.0.1 and 5.0.1. it is faded in setting menu. Will get ss here. I am sorry for my English, if there is anyone with any idea there to help I would be very grateful. :crying:

If clean flash doesnt help, probably your sim tray is broken. You can try flashing latest radio from factory images. Maybe that could help :/

I believe sim card slot is soldered on the board. If radio flash wont helpYou cant fix it at home, withouth soldering skills and a special tool

No network at all? (Please help!)

So I switched over from 4.4.4 to MIUI 8 Global (6.0.1) almost a week ago and I have had no data since then, but I could make calls and receive texts. Yesterday morning to find that I had no service of any kind on my device... Any ideas? I tried flashing different radios and I am shown that I have signal for a split second before it goes back to no bars, attempted to set the carrier manually too but nothing seems to stick.
I am on the Ting network in the western half of the US if that helps any.
Thanks guys, my N5 and I greatly appreciate it!

Does the phone work properly on a stock ROM? APN settings are correct for data purposes ? Was the phone bumped or dropped?

On my moms nexus 5 the wifi wasn't working anymore so i reflashed the stock rom and it started working again. If you don't want to have to resort to losing data you can try checking if the antennas if they are disconnected on the back of the phone. Just take off the back covers and plug the antennas back in and that might help

The signal works on stock and 5, haven't dropped the phone

Sounds like the custom ROM doesn't work well with your phone. Any other users of the same rom experience the same issue?

I saw a few things said about it in the ROM's thread but no answers. I asked in there as well but nobody replied.
I can sometimes make calls/text, but for the most part is just stays disconnected.

Yeah everything was there, it just said I had no network. Anytime I try to connect it flashes sprint for JUUUUUST a second before kicking me off lol. I'm using my stock 4.4.4 for now so I at least have a working phone, but I really would like to use the MIUI 8 if possible.
Sorry for the slow reply, I've been busy.

Then it's obvious that the MIUI rom is causing the problem. You should move to something else.
