Hi,
Here is the problem and the options that I have tried...
The phone works for some time, during this time I can receive and make calls. But suddenly it pops with a message "Invalid or Missing sim card. You can still make emergency calls if your service provider permits"
If I switch on the inflight mode and switch this mode off after 2-3 hours, it starts working. But the same message pops up after some time.
Below are the steps that I tried:
1) Upgraded the ROM to v1.13.188 (from O2 site)
2) Upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.0
3) Hard reset and soft reset etc...
How ever after the first upgrade of ROM it worked continusly for 3 days, but now it doesnot work for more than 2-3 hours, back to square one.
I havent tried the sim unlock. I couldnt find the unlock code and process from the link you had mailed.
Hope this will help you in suggesting the next steps to fix the issue.

Hi,
Please let us know the Rom version and radio stack you are using.
Have you tried downgrading back to the WM5 Rom and seeing if the problem persists?
I would guess that it is a dirty/damaged Sim card, have you tried cleaning the contacts on the sim card itself........... you can do this with a pencil rubber.........
Try the steps above and try another sim if u have one available, failing that post back some specific information on your Radio and Rom Versions.
Cheers,
Beast
happened to me too (after I dropped my JasJar)
I'm sorry to tell you this but the issue is not your software image.
This is a hardware problem.
I can tell you my JasJar dropped to the floor. phone speaker stopped working (but came back after the 2nd fall).
I then started to rarely get this "invalid SIM" message. I ignored it at first.
but it got more and more frequent until the phone was no longer usable.
I didn't change any firmware during that period. I blame only the crashes.
Something there must have cracked. cleaning the hardware didn't help for me.
I finally gave up and sent it to manufacture labs.
I had same problem and had to send it in and imate replaced the board for me and since it was within warranty it was done for free
ROM: 1.13.82 WWE
ROM Date: 11/30/05
Radio Version: 1.04.02
Protocol Version: 42.37.P8
Extended ROM Version: 1.13.188WWE
How ever after the first upgrade of ROM it worked continusly for 3 days, but now it doesnot work for more than 2-3 hours, back to square one.
and it hasnt been dropped so why would it work for 3 days then start doing this

Same Problem
Hello again,
i have the same problem, i search for a result but now i upgrade the radio, but now i cant flash the radio again, it start to hang at 11%...
I had a similar problem on my Wizard one time.
I ended up fixing it by flashing on of the giant original shipping roms.
The rom includes everything and was the only way I could recover from the corrupt radio flash.
Hope this helps you.
Try testing your radio with other sim (some other operator's sim
is prefereabile, in your region)
hopes must not die. I will work again

these problems are caused be something glitching up in the flash, not the sim
Got the same problem: the radio died without any new flash
If you find a solution, I have some interest too

Try to flash again, i had same errors after i flashed some different ROM`s.
What i remember just right now:
I get a new sim card on thursday since then i have this no GSM error.
Now i`m scared to setup my connection because the device is running.
Had some connection losses but as long its working...
Not really.... i open Programms and scroll down then windows hang.
No UMTS connection i bought it because i want to read my emails, not just to make phone calls .
And to be honestly : to flash around
Still looking for a solution for that no GSM error.
Thank you for your attention.
Same Problem
I got an replacement from At&t because of the white screen effect on the Cingular version.
As soon as I load in the sim it gives me a no gsm message..
so i load up black X rc and the newest att radio and i still get the message..
So finally i hard reset a couple of times and it goes away..
Now the only thing is that the connection reset a lot and even flashing back to the original raido with an downgraded ipl and spl still doesn't solve that. I even got a new sim and no luck.
I even went to the point of simunlocking it and it still doesn't work.
Keep in mind that this is the new att 8525 and the cingular 8525 worked better even it i cudn't see the screen..lol
you guys have tried the file off this page, right?
http://www.america.htc.com/support/8525/software-downloads.html
yea i tried the one off htc's website i get an error about 11% thru, any other ideas because im going crazy i have no gsm no phone service no service period!! HELP!!!
Yes, the latest supported wm5 is the one i had originally.
Any ideas from anyone?
hey..... just for understanding....
ur RADIO ROM version is - 1.16.00.00. Hope you know that this has to be separately updated, and is not included in any of the ROMs available in the cooked format e.g schaps....
may i suggest that you upgrade to one of the latest RADIO ROMs, available here - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
The 1.48 RADIO ROM seems particularly stable all around the world, so go ahead and give it a try - ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/HERM_Radio_Only_1.48.00.10_CustomRUU.rar
After that, you could choose Schap's latest ROM and upgrade to the same; and check if things work out.
EDIT: I see that you have flashed different radio roms already......
NOOB's ANSWER TO THIS PREDICAMENT: Downgrade to the offficial radio and ROM. And see to it that you restore your SPL i.e., follow the procedures of removing olipro.... and take it to your nearest O2 dealer...
Maybe this helps ?
How about this one:
Flash your ROM radio etc.
Take out the battery for 20 minutes.
Yesterday i flashed the original O2 ROM after it said No GSM again.
I was mad and took out the battery.
In the morning i inserted the battery again and since then no problem.
To test this if its really working i flashed a HTC ROM, after configuration etc. i took out the battery again, waited ~ 20 minutes.
Because it said no GSM again after flashing HTC ROM.
Looks like its working (for me)
Edit
No its not working
The original O2 ROM was working almost perfect just flashomanianing it back ... Hope it will work .
similar problem plz plz help

Flashed WM5 same error = No GSM
Sometimes it shows No R No G
Tested it with 3 different operators sim card.
Setup a complete new OS on my notebook (because i thought a virus maybe and it corrupted the downloaded files).
During the flash process i even dont breathe but no help
Flashed HTC ROM with radio 1.47... interrupted the second update/setup process.
Was ok for 3 hours.
Are we all just beta testers from HTC and MS ?
Im still getting the same issue. Although I unlocked and superCID the deviece I will try to get a warranty exchange on it. It was messing up before I did any of that so I don't think that it should matter. I just want my old Cingular 8525... but i guess i have to keep on trying until I get a good one.
Hi did you ever find a solution to the radio rom flash hanging at 11% i have the same problem I can flash the os but the radio rom always hangs at 11% so nice pda no phone options
Ladies and gentlemen, I had the same problem, and I fixed it. Here's my story.
I was an idiot one night. Pulling my trusty 8525 from my pocket to read a text message, I instead dropped it. On its face. On pavement. From waist height.
I know, I cringed, too.
Ever since then, I got the No GSM error, and radio ROMs refused to flash beyond 11%, except the original factory ship ROM which got as far as 12%. Everything else worked perfectly except the radio.
I took it to one of the IT guys at work who suggested that I may have damaged something on the mainboard, but here's another 8525 you can play with if you want, because it's in the recycle box and will be going out the door to be recycled soon and we won't see any money out of it anyway, so here, it's yours.
Problem was, 8525-b had video issues. SOMETIMES would get the whitescreen. ALWAYS wrapped the bottom ten or fifteen rows of pixels up to the top of the screen. But the phone worked flawlessly.
Then, I discovered that the "video card" is separate from the main circuit board. Therefore, 8525-a had problems with the mainboard, and 8525-b had problems with the videoboard.
The solution presents itself.
Took them both apart, took the mainboard from the 8525-b and installed it into the 8525-a.
My Hermes is back. Everything functions flawlessly, including the radio. And everything flashes, too.
Point of the story: I don't know if you dropped your phone or if maybe something else may have caused some damage, but the only way that I was able to work around the radio rom flash hanging at 11% issue was to replace the mainboard. I got lucky, I was good friends with the IT guy. But I was never able to find another solution.
Well iv tried just about every method that has been posted. Still getting the no GSM message at boot up. I have to HR a few times to get the phone to pick up a signal. It will work for a few minutes of talk time then freeze up and again with the no GSM. Iv tried the methods listed in the various threads and it still does this even with the standard At&t rom. Anyone have any ideas or is it time to send it in to At&t or just buy a new phone?
I did send it to AT&T and got it back fixed. It is a bad time to buy a new phone. Raphael (TyTN III) is not out yet.
May be bad radio rom or you have interrupt the process of updating. If it is fixed then keep the radio that is installed and don't upgrade or try for better Radio ROM. Always check the package of rom before ROM upgrading.
Need a hint. Try to search for NBHExtract TOOL
HI,
I'm having this error message on boot and I can't find a solution. Every search I've made for this error comes up empty. The final solution being restore to factory. After doing that and trying to reinstall the rom I get the same error. Phone FC and i don't get time synched from the network anymore.
I'm not using TB. I'm not restoring any data. This is on a fresh clean install of the rom.
Any ideas? I need help!
What did you flash in terms or rom, mods, themes, and how did you flash?
Sent from my Galaxy SII T-mobile using Tapatalk 2
I flashed the new Darkside rom with the TMO base. I'm starting to think that the new base is conflicting with my sim card... I'm not sure what to do about it... I'm with Virgin Mobile in Canada if that makes any difference...
No mods and no themes. Its just on first boot. Any other base seems to work fine. But since the TMO base I get that FC.
Could be a bad download, unlikely but if you haven't tried yet re-download the ROM
I've redownloaded multiple times and checked the md5... so the dl itself is fine... the install is fine... but once it connects to the network com.android.phone force closes... Do you know how to reset the network settings on the sim card itself?
process com.android phone has stopped
Hi,
My HTC One XL from Rogers is doing this when the address book syncs in the car. I have it de-bloated, rooted, and unlocked boot loader. My problem is that nothing seems to have changed. The phone works (Bluetooth )in the car until the address book is synched (or so it seems), then it cuts out. What to do?
Same problem with my ROM. I am using Reliance GSM in India. I tried with Vodafone & Airtel SIM and the phone works perfectly normal. Tried with my Dad's Reliance GSM and the problem is back. Dunno what the problem is exactly. Other ROMs work perfectly fine with Reliance in my cell. Problem is only with this one ROM. Incase you stumble upon a solution, pl do let me know as well.
My Original ROM with the same error
Hello everyone
My phone is Samsung S3, with original software, it asked me to update the system and i agreed after that i found it add some information such as it;s from United Emirates but i live in kuwait, and now i have the same error only when i try to make international call.
please any help without reset the phone?!!!
On some ROMs, they say it has something to do with the DPI
I've encountered this problem on AOKP 07/09 Milestone 6, and from searching in the forums, all I could gather is that it has something to do with my DPI settings.
On 07/05 it was okay, I just don't get it why flashing to 07/09 made this error appear.
UPDATE Now I discovered that turning the phone into Airplane mode removes this error. But then if you deactivate airplane mode again it comes back.

Why dont you post in the S3 forum?
A few weeks ago I went to China and I brought my Wind Mobile issued T889V. While there I realized that the phone was sim locked so I took it to a place to have it unlocked. Before I got the phone back I was able to use another phone, so I did not realize the problem until I returned to Canada. I do not even know what it was they did over there.
The problem is that I just cannot receive a signal from Wind. I know the screenshot shows full bars, but the phone has remained "no service" for the past several days. So far I've tried hard reset, flashing the rom, flashing the modem (with several different files), all with no luck. Yesterday I took it a phone repair place and the guy told me that it was something wrong with the NV settings. He also told me that he has changed it to the correct settings, but I am still not getting anything. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Also, please explain like I am 5. Thank you.
Edit: I've tried the NE7 before the NH2 modem file, did not make a difference.
