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.

I will get a new one tomorrow on that note. Thanks, hopefully we can minimize this from happening.

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.
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?

Here's a youtube video of how to take the phone apart.
Have you tried different sim card? could be a damage sim card.
Thanks for the video link.
I am stuck at 02:55(removing flex cable connectors). Don't have the tool, will bring it from the market tomorrow. Meanwhile i have doubt whether i'll be able to easily reassemble it
I have a serious issue on my D6633, i've tryed to roll out the Lollipop update but due to very slow download speed i had to abort (update was not started yet) after the vol dwn + power phase.
After that phese the mobile is unable to activate any of the 2 sim cards, i've tryed serveral sims and al the possible configurazions of network, what ever i do in the information it shows RAdio OFF like is in airplane mode (but of course is not).
I've manage to update the phone but this did not solved the issue, fasctory reset did not solved the issue.
If i insert the simcar the handy detects it but the radio part seems no to activate somehow.
if i boot with no simcard, i insert one simcard, the phone reboots and at the reboot the simcard i have inserted is disabled, if i manually enable it stais forever trying to activate it, at one point it problebly reaches a timeout it says it's acrtive but in the information screes it says like the radio is off, same as when i enable the airplane mode.
I'm quite worried, any suggestion from the community ?
PHone is HK but i'm in spain now and the update was downloaded in span FW is 23.1.1.E.0.1 but the behaviour was the same with the kitkat rom after the failed reboot.
I'm pretty sure is a kind of software but i would like to know if there is a more lower level way to wipe the device more than just do the factory reset.
Any help apreciated.

Thanks Mate, i'm downloading it just now, i hope to get enough bandwith to download the ftf from the hotel, for the ftf i have to use xperifirm right ?
But is it a common issue that a simple flash mode boot without a real flash ****s up all the radio part of the phone (actually also the vibe is not working anymore)?
Thanks.

Yes, something wasn' t right, but don' t worry, a clean flash, and it will be like a new one.
I've flashed the ftf but no changes, gosh !
This are the sysntoms:
No network from both the sims (it says radio off) enabling or disabling sims take a big while, changing data from sim 1 to sim 2 and vice versa take ages (it looks like it just reaches a timeout).
It seems that the failed update some how diabled the radio of the SOC at low level but i have no idea ho to enable it.
Any help wellcome.
Thanks.

Since a clean ftf flash did not solved the problem, well...maybe you can take it to a service.
Have you tried to force a software repair using PCComapnion?
Download PCCompanion, click on software update, if it says you have the latest software click on "Repair my phone" and follow the instructions.

Hello, i have a Samsung Galaxy S6 U.S. Cellular. Sm 920R4 i believe. Anyways, i was trying to flash TWRP Recovery. When after i did, my device rebooted and took me to the TWRP recovery screen. Expected. But my Touchscreen wouldnt work. So this happened 2 days ago but im still trying to fix it. i decided to try some different versions of TWRP. Well, one of them worked but it reversed my touchscreen. So i managed to get into my os, BACKWARDS. I have been using everything backwards including the keyboard and its driving me nuts. I attempted to flash my stock recovery and stock firmware via odin. Odin says "failed" every tiume i try to flash it, so i moved the zip to my s6, and it still doesn't work. if fails. I dont know what to do. Someone, anyone, please help me. I recently tried flashing a rom and it turned out to be the rom that makes the s6 look like the s6 edge plus. Well, i didnt copy down my imei or serial number before doing it. So i cant use smart switch. I really need someone to just help me out. Even if its just a tweak or something to flip the screen back to normal. Someone please help me. BTW, the secret codes havent worked for me to update the screen. Maybe im doing something wrong, but at the moment the phone doesnt have service

This might not work If you have modified rom, or you will waste a lot of time reverting to stock and back.
Just try flashing a different kernel. I had the same problem and it worked for me.

I have a Custom ROM and it worked for me. Just flashing another Kernel didn't work for many users who tried that and this (on my link) worked for everybody.

do not tell me where you can take the firmware service (4 files and PIT) for G920R4

What Kernel? and the special codes DO NOT work with the phone at all. Im freaking out. Haven't fixed it. Please reply. Thank you.

How do you mean that they don't work? Nothing happen when you dial them? Do you have custom ROM or did you unabled or uninstall any of the sistem apps?
How about the twrp app. If you have root access you can change the version of twrp
Did you try reflash the firmware via Smart Switch?

So I flashed a rom-upgrade type thing that makes the phone look like an s6 edge plus
If i had my imei i would be fine but i dont have it
The codes dont work, typed and retyped them a million times
What rom could i flash to have access to the codes, and what kernel to fix the x axis did you flash? a quick reply would help a lot. Thanks for your time. I do appreciate a lot. And yes ive tried smart swith and odin with stock firmware. It fails. I only have one file that i was flashing though. Maybe there was more.

Your S/N and IMEI are written on the back of your phone, barely visible. Nearly at the bottom
