Flashing Killed My SIM

I just flashed to ConfusedStu Vista 1.3, everything went well until I got through the customization screen and now my sim has just an exclamation point by it. I took the sim out and put it in my razr and it is reading fine in that. Anybody have any ideas that can help me out. Even though I dont have a lot of posts Im not new to doing this or to the site, Ive been flashing my wizard for 2 years now and my tilt for about the last month and a half. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I also will say I tried to reflash radio 1.65 and that didnt help either.

i usually remove sd and sim before i flash a new rom. What does it say or show on the screen when the sim is inserted? and what does it say on the screen when the sim isn't inserted? If it says the same thing i can't help you.
try a hard reset too.

When the Sim is inserted is says nothing, just has the exclamation point by the signal meter and and x by the data connection. When the sim is not in the phone at all it gives me the no sim inserted emergency call if provider supports it. I tried to reflash the rom with the SIM out and still get the same result??? Kinda Screwy

most likely its the phone that's the problem. because if your sim was fried it wouldn't work in the razr. the razr couldn't be able to recognize the sim card at all if it was fried.

you may need to install another radio that is compatible.

Is this a new or an older SIM? Check the gold contact points on the bottom. I've used a pencil eraser to go over mine and have gotten a SIM that had stopped working ot start working again (back on my Wizard). The local AT&T stores by me (not the Spring ones, but the true AT&T ones) are good about replacing sim cards for free when I've had issues (I had a sim card out one day and my dog got hold of it off the table. Called the local AT&T store and they guy laughed then said bring it down and he'd give me a new one. Waived the $25 charge. My wife has had her sim card replaced for free also in the past from the same store. YMMV).

Tried that one too...lol. I searched and searched, I tried different ROM's with their respective radios and still same results. Looks like Im flashing back to stock and Warranty has another one coming. The funny thing is, it still tells me I have a voice mail and shows my number under the phone screen, which tells me its reading the SIM

try going into settings>personal>phone> then to the network tab and select find network with stock rom and radio.

Check and see if the phone is turned off. Happened to me a couple of flashes in a row, sometimes you end up with the phone turned off. Just open the comm manager and turn it back on.

Tried this once and it didnt do anything, hard reset, tried searching again, went and grabbed a drink and after about 15 minutes it found network and all is good. Now back to flashing my 6.1 ROM. Ill never learn, but its so fun to have a phone that takes over all me free time on the road.
Thanks to all that helped and had some ideas. Thats why I love this place. Thank you.

the first thing you do after you flash a new rom is hard reset, now I am using the same rom as you are and all you have to do is go into your commmanager and turn flight mode OFF, push the button with the picture of a phone on it, then your phone will customize your connections to your carrier

I have already flashed My tilt with just about every ROM out there just to have fun and see what the differecnces were, WITH NO PROBLEMS. Then I tried to flash it with the new ROM and had the problem. I appreciate you trying to help but how you gonna end with calling me a n00b, when I have more posts than you and have been here a lot longer. But thanks for the help.

ya that was unnecessary. he clearly knew what he was talking about (but maybe didn't explore different avenues before asking). in addition, its not necessarily true that the phone customizes for you.

I flash only via sd card and I have never taken out my sim card and I have never had one glitch at all. In my humble opinion, flashing via sd card is much quicker and safer.

[FIX] Missing Carrier Billing Option in New Leaked Android Market (T-mobile USA)

Some people have been reporting that the carrier billing option no longer shows for them in the new version of the market. This very issue happened to me as well, but there is a fix. Here it is:
Open application management > select the market app > force close it > clear cache > clear data > turn off wifi (if its on) > make sure you have 3g/4g signal (not edge) > open market and except the terms
Carrier billing will be working again, just give the market a min. to finish syncing your account by leaving the main page open (again just like a min). Now verify it worked by checking any US app (apps produced outside the US can't be billed to tmo).

Hasnt fixed the issue for me :'(

Are you sure you followed the instructions exactly? One piece out of place and it won't work. This method worked for me and I can even repeat it 100% of the time (if you uninstall the update and reinstall it you have to do this again to get it working). Not to mention it has worked for other users.

This worked for me, thanks!

if the vendor is not US based I don't think you can bill to Tmo...
also, on the confirmation page, hit the credit card line. you'll get a pop up with a choice of either to bill your credit card or tmo.
sometimes people miss that part...

POST CORRECTION: It works. As Mainspring pointed out, if you try to buy an app from a non-US based vendor, you can't charge to your T-Mobile US account. Just tried a few different apps, and sure enough - one of them let me buy by charging to my T-Mobile account.
A good clue is the pricing - if it's something like $.99, it's probably a US vendor, while something like $1.39 is most likely a vendor outside the US.
Seems to be new to this version of the Market - I seem to recall being able to charge ANY app to my T-mo account, not just US based apps...

Read it later Pro is the app that I tried to buy to test if this fixed my phone and I can not buy it on my phone but I work for T-Mobile and tested the same app on demo phones and co-workers phones and they can bill that app to their account. So I'm not sure why it wont work for my phone and as far as I know I did it exactly how I'm suppose to by fallowing the instructions, even tried multiple times so I have no idea what I am doing wrong

Yeah I'm not sure I'm starting to think it's something T-Mobile screwed up. They added Family Allowances to my account (Bro downloaded $63.96 in apps on his Nokia!!) but it's set up that my line can still download with no limitations on my end and they said it was right on theirs too.
Worst part is they took it off now and I still cant bill to the account even after trying this, uninstalling updates then trying this again, fresh install of the old market and trying this AGAIN! I'm gonna be pissed if I can no longer bill to the account. T-Mobile is looking into it but they blame Google/Android which isn't true cuz I signed my account into a dummy phone at work and it was fine.

Thank you so much!

Gotta love xda thanks man it worked flawlessly
Turn off WiFi
Applications
Market
Force close
Clear cache
3G/4G connection
Accept terms done thanks man
It works guys ..
Now time for them 10c apps lmao

I am not get in the carrier purchasing option even after doing the said steps. Could it be that I am running miui? Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App

Thanks, worked perfect

try to uninstall update
My market updated by itself and the Tmobile option wasn't available so I:
Turned off WiFi,
Turned 4G on,
Applications => Market => Uninstall Updates,
Opened market immediately and searched Where's My Water (10c app ),
and the option to purchase using Tmobile was there.. of course I opened market again later on and it was the new market(with no Tmo option) but it does works this way.

Just file a trouble ticket..they can fix it..happened to me 2 months ago..they fixed it in less than a week.

Still a successful method to get it working today...
Prior to trying the original poster's method I was unable to bill to my carrier (T-Mobile). However, after multiple attempts at this method it finally worked. Now I am able to bill to my carrier again after switching ROMs. Thanks.

Weird information on Wallpaper

Okay, I need some help here.
My gf's droid charge shows some information on the wallpaper, the information stays in the same spot, even if you scroll to the left or right. It will not pick up service, but everything else works (wifi, bluetooth...).
She took it to the Verizon store and they said it looks as if it is bricked. I rooted my SGS2, but I've never seen a bricked phone. I always thought a bricked phone is a phone that does not work at all. She never rooted it or even thought about doing anything to it.
Verizon is willing to exchange it and she will get a new one, but I'm curious and would like to know what happened.
I attached a picture of the phone. Not sure how sensitive the information is so I blurred some out.

There is something similar available for the Galaxy Nexus, though it doesn't look as large. It is a developer option to show cpu stats on the screen, but I'm assuming something similar could be done to show build info. By any chance, have you tried wiping data and seeing if it goes away?

Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes, I wiped it twice and Verizon also wiped all data.
I also removed the sim card and battery, but nothing helped. Everything works except mobile service
I will have the phone for a week, so if you guys want me to look things up in order to see what exactly happened to the phone let me know.

5.1.1 OTA?

So today(5-15) I saw online that T-Mobile USA released the 5.1.1 OTA for there branded Galaxy S6/S6 Edge, so any info on when the Verizon branded version is coming out? I'm having multiply major bugs(wifi, memory, and lagging) across 3 different S6 devices(original device and 2 replacements) since launch day. Also, the Verizon Branded OTA that just came out brought me new bugs like with Google voice to text giving me 2 new bugs and making it unusable. Also, apps are freezing like crazy and ends up freezing the whole phone and when I try to lock the phone with the power button when an app is freezing it opens up the camera instead of locking the phone and most of the time I have to restart the phone when this happens and it happens quite often, but only started after the Verizon OTA. Also, from launch day(across all 3 devices) I been having memory issues with the phone, it tells me it has between 1GB-1.2GB of total memory on the phone and I only have 748MB total available with only very few apps on the phone at the moment, everything closed and all the bloatware gone off the phone. I herd that the Verizon OTA we just got was suppose to fix the memory issue, but apparently for me it did nothing at all with the memory on my phone. and lastly I'm having the major wifi bug a lot of us are having witch for me started on the 6th day after launch and never worked again even after I had 3 different devices and still the same thing is still ongoing, and in fact the Verizon OTA we just got made the wifi bug even worst then before.
So the 5.1.1 OTA is really needed for me to fix these ongoing and new bugs I'm having and after 2 months I'm getting sick and tired of waiting for patches to come out!

You probably should go into your system recovery and clear cache. That will probably help a majority of your bugs.

I already did that and nothing changed at all, and like I said I had 3 different devices and nothing changed at all. In fact the 3rd device I got which I still have was giving me problems from very first time I turned it on and during the initial setup as soon as I turned it on from the FedEx box and the keyboard was slow and not putting the letters I clicked in the box and to click next/skip, restart or power off I had to use my pointer finger and press multiple times and fast like a woodpecker would on a tree in order for those functions to respond, and before I can even finish the initial setup I had to already do a factory reset on the phone. Even typing right now in this box responding to you the phone is lagging just typing now.

Don't think Verizon has announced anything yet. The current G920VVRU1A0E2 works fine for me.

To help with keyboard lag - go into settings and make sure the proper language is intalled and updated. Have you tried different keyboards? Swiftkey?

Well 3 different phones since launch day have been giving me all different kinds of problems and never had a device with out a major problem in it and the new Verizon OTA that just came out in June made the phone even worst then before. The Build for the update is G920VVRU1A0E2, and in fact I even had problems getting the update on my phone because from launch day of the OTA-4days after it came out the OTA would not fully download and give me error code 503 and it wasn't until the 5th day that it worked and then when I finally got it installed on my phone it just brought more bugs to the phone like I talked about in the OP

Have you tried using Odin to flash back to stock with the full tar file instead of the update? If not go here and give it a shot. If you use the OE2 one you will have to factory data reset to wipe your phone clean either after or before you flash.

yea I tired that, but this started as soon as I turned on my phone for the very 1st time trying to do the initial set up, plus like I said even pressing next/skip, power off or reset in the initial setup was a hassle. I had to take my pointer finger and point it down and press fast and many times like a woodpecker in order for the buttons functions to work and I could not even finish the initial setup and had to already do a factory reset before the initial setup was even finished on the 3rd device I have now. The phone is so bad that even clicking the home button some of the apps, Google search and weather is not on screen right away and takes second or 2 to show up, its lagging to show up.

3 different devices and still the same exact major things plus new things on each device are going on with the phone. Switching out the device should fix it all, but I guess this is not the case here. Plus about the wifi issues I'm in a XDA forum 13 pages long about the phones wifi not working(I know it says edge, but it's the same problems with the S6 and S6 edge so no difference)

They already said that the new update(5.1.1) is taking away root

My 1st phone which arrived on Sat came with G920VVRU1A0E2 out of the box.
Other than normal setups, and uninstalling Google Play Services and Google Play it has not had any problems.
Perhaps you should go into a store and show them how it is not working?

I did on launch day, I went back to the same corporate store a few hours later and got into a fight with the sales rep who sold me the phone a few hours earlier and the store GM because they were Ignorant because my phone was hot as fuc k at 90F and hotter and they said nothing was wrong. On top of that they even lied to me about having the edge devices in stock on launch day and even pulled out the normal S6 trying to trick me and it was not until I said something did he say oh this is not an edge and then said there was no edge's in stock, but while I was waiting in line I asked him and 2 other reps and they all said they had the white 64GB edge in stock. They rather lie to there customers to make a sale then tell the truth(at least this corporate store location), and then when you have problems with the phone they don't care to help you at all. Even 611 said this was very wrong and made a complaint on mine and 611's behalf on the corporate store and the sales rep.

Here is an update, as of recently my phone is getting really really hot and temperatures of 120F+ and even Verizon technical support saw that through their diagnostic system as it was actually on those temperatures at that very moment when they were looking. Also, from me just being tech savvy and Verizon technical support confirming it as well this phone is also supposed to have a safeguard in the phone and if it gets too hot the device is upposed to power off on its own, but apparently the safeguard is not working because when the phone gets very hot the battery starts flashing and in the middle of the screen it tells me the phone is very hot and it only lets me click OK. If I'm charging the phone the battery flashes and say the same thing but just adds unable to charge, & I can unplug the charger and immediately plug it back in to the phone and it will start charging again and then a few minutes later it will give me the same message. When it's doing that its not supposed to tell me anything it's supposed to just shut off and its not doing so.
So there overheating policy states that I have to bring my phone too a corporate store and they're going to replace the device right on spot. So Sunday I went to the corporate store to do that, but for some reason their system wouldn't allow them to process this because it didn't have an option to do it and the general manager and the store representative we're booth trying together for at least 45 minutes. They ultimately ended up just sending me a replacement device via Fedex to my house and when the phone arrives today(7-2) I have to bring the overheating device that I currently have to the store so they can do what they need to do to send it back because by law I'm not allowed to send an overheating device back. Verizon corporate store processed my order on Sunday and I was supposed to get the device on Tuesday but I'm getting it today due to inclement weather at the FedEx Memphis Tennessee hub and so Fedex at the Memphis Tennessee hub was at a complete standstill and my package was part of it.
Once I get my 4th replacement device and start using it for a while I will let you know how it's working

Dead G-Pay on Note 20 Ultra SM-N986B/DS

I can't get Google Pay to work on my device.
My bank says it's OK and the cards is activated for contactless in the app with no problem.
When I try and put the phone on a payment terminal nothing happens, no ping or beep, no error code or anything.
I just came from a Note 10+ and it was working flawless everytime.
Any idea?

Maybe your nfc is turned off?

It's on of course.
Never had any problems with S10 and Note10+.
My cards is activated for contactless in app and everything should work.
I have talked to Google, they couldn't find any error and said it should work, I also talked to Samsung they told me the same.
I have tried different cards, resetting Gpay and also Factory Reset my phone.
Problem is still there, nothing happens.
Also tried going to a store and sent a picture to a Oneplus 8 via Android Beam, that worked.
Can Android Beam work if there is a fault on the NFC chip (hardware error)?

I had the same problem and discovered that I hadn't designated default or favorite cards of the ones that I activated.

Edit: I can find tag on my credit card when tapping on my phone, so NFC should be OK.
But can not figure out why Gpay doesn't work.....

I have the same, and I think NFC is off for third party apps. Gpay does not work, nfc loyalty doesnt work, our local bank in Lithuania Swedbank app doesnt work too. Just no reaction when holding near the bank terminal. Hope that we will have a fix soon

Oh my... Do you have the exact same model as my?
I have talked to Google again and they can't find any issuses, so maybe you are right, the flaw is in the firmware.

That's to bad, a noob mistake from Samsung or whatever.
I will trade in my phone with DOA (death on arrival) and get a new phone wednesday and try that again.

What Network Provider you got?

Could be the payment terminal issue

Yes, I have done every terminal there is.
In Norway all terminals have to take NFC/tapp with card.
Some people say it's an issue with network provider settings downloaded first time you start phone.
If they factory reset phone and on the first boot use a different sim card from other network provider it works.

I got Telia. Maybe will try to reset with other provider Bitė

Ok, finally I did solve it.
0. I have removed two Sims (Telia was primary, Bitė second). Inserted only Bitė as primary
1. Factory reset
2. Deleted cache via recovery.
3. Again factory reset via recovery
4. Downloaded official baltic ROM from sammobile and flashed via odin with full reset
5. Configured phone, installed gpay, added cards
6. Inserted Telia sim as secondary
7. Everything is working (gpay, loyalty via nfc)
Dont know which step exactly was the one, but overal its working.

I am having the same problem, GPay seems to be OK (and was OK with Note10+ with the same cards) but does absolutely nothing when trying to pay in a store. No help from Google or Samsung, just generic answers/questions about NFC being on/off, case on or not, is the phone connected to the internet etc.
However, after exhausting amounts of googling, I found out that some people got it working on other phones by uninstalling Play Services updates. I did that and while I obviously had the latest version of GPay, the UI of the GPay app changed a bit to somewhat more "modern": no bottom bar and the QR/number based loyalty cards below the NFC payment cards. Did yours change too after your solution?
I can't try paying with it in while but it'd be a relief to know that I finally fixed it...

Hi,
Uninstalling play services update did not help. Gpay also looks the same as always. Tried different versions of play services , gpay but nothing. Those steps solved the problem, I think my operator did not send some configuration on first start and after full rom reinstall with other sim card everything went successfull

I had the same problem.
Uninstalled Gpay, and installed it again.
I thing my problem was because it were transfered from S20 with Smartswitch.

Tried flashing and starting fresh... still doesn't work. I give up, if it still doesn't work after next OTA I'll take the phone for service. Thanks for the tips though.

Change sim card with different operator for the first boot
