[Q] Keeps saying simcard not detected.

I have a rooted T-Mobile G2, and a Fido Sim Card. I got the phone unlocked and got my Fido Sim card working. Now, after a year, from time to time, the phone would just suddenly not recognize that there is a sim card in it, and give me the No Sim Card problem, and I get no service. Rebooting sometimes helps, sometimes doesn't.
Help?
THANKYOU!
Get a new SIM card?
It sounds like it might be an issue with your ROM. I had the same problem with CWM a few months back but it resolved itself after a few updates. Search the CWM nightly thread for 'insert sdcard' if you're curious.
If your phone, a pc or other device cannot recognize it, then its probably a dead sdcard.

[Q] CM 7.1 GSM FXP028a: keeps asking for network unlock pin

This is probably a stupid question, but I can't find the answer. I did the following to get CM 7.1 FXP028a running on my R800i GSM:
Flashed official 4.0.A.2.0.368 ROM with flashtool (wiped all data)
Renamed update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-XperiaPlay-R800i-KANG-signed.zip to update.zip and copied to SD card
Flashed new kernel: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Entered recovery and applied update.zip from SD card
Wiped data and cache
Reboot device
Everything seems to be working fine except that it keeps asking for a network unlock pin. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm back at the official 4.0.A.2.0.368, because it would be handy to be able to use it as a phone (as much as I like SNESoid combined with the gamepad).
I've actually encountered the same thing before.
Have you flashed googleapps after booting the first time?
(when it asks for a service pin or similar, just cancel that one)
Click on "Discard" and ignore it.
Haven't installed googleapps, will try. Simply ignoring means I can't call.

I have CM7 28a in R800i just like you. The prompt appears in my phone too, and I bought it Sim unlocked. And of course, I can call, receive calls and use 3g
I've got a similar error. my SIM card when I insert, I will always ask for the code that is supposedly wrong. disable a cell phone I need the other pin. until I get to my menu r800i GSM. then sometimes when I'm in, I get no data connection (it saves automatically or manually my network operator.
Finally had time to test again and since FXP041 is available I tried that one. Works like a charm! No issues with network pins and feels very snappy.
FYI.
I'm newbie,
But i've unlocked bootloader using this method ' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12873655&postcount=1 '
Rooted using this method ' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859&highlight=root '
And INSTALLING CYANOGEN MOD using this method ' http://www.xperiagamer.com/Beginners-Guides/loading-custom-roms.html '
after all i've done , nothing odd happen,
then i realise when my phone reboot it show (No Servis) i did insert my SIM CARD.
means no network isn't??
anyone can help me?
EDIT *
Because no one's concern about this.
I just figure it out.

[Q] Error while searching for networks while running Custom ROM

Hi people, currently I am running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355660 ICS ROM but I cannot connect to my mobile network. In the last few days I unlocked my phone while running this ROM and I entered in the code I was given. The unlock was successful however I could not get onto my mobile network 3. When I went into settings > Mobile network settings > Network Operators I received the message "Error while searching for networks". I tested it with another SIM card and I got the same result. Then I tried reflashing the ROM and using a different ROM, the 4.1 Jelly Bean by Nikez. The result was the same. Another thing I noticed was that each time I restarted the phone it would ask for the unlock code again and each time I entered it the phone would say "successful", but obviously something has gone completely wrong. Also note I have Data Enabled and my Wifi/Bluetooth is completely fine. Can anyone help me on what has gone wrong? Thanks
Bump, would appreciate some help please

Ok, what do I do with the file once I put it onto my SD card? Also will this fix the 3G problem?

You don't put it on your sd card. Extract it to your desktop, connect your phone and run it.

Does it work on Gingerbread ROM's ?

Flashed and now have no SIM detected

Help!
I was rooted 4.1.1 and flashed latest 4.1.2 Czech stock ROM via Mobile ODIN. Everything seemed to went fine except, wifi seems to work, but I have no SIM detected. I tried pulling the battery out but no go. What went wrong?
Any help appreciated!!!
D.
Did you try to pull SIM out? Use different SIM to test.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
I didn't since it is pretty hard to take it out being micro SIM, and I have no other micro SIM to test (only normal sized mini SIM). I didn't open the phone or done anything to the SIM so I have no reason to suspect it being moved or such. Probably something to do with EFS folder from what I read.
When I dial *#06# it says nul/nul (should display IMEI).
PLZ Help!!!!

Did you make a nandroid backup before flashing??

Does your sim card come out when you pull the battery?
Nope, I don't have custom recovery because of triangle !#[email protected]!
I noticed another thing, it reports Baseband: unknown
I've had the same thing, flashed new custom recovery version and ended up with broken sim-card...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161590
We just went to a service center of our telecom operator to change the sim-card and the new one works fine.
I tested the original if it could be broken by using another sim-card, just to be sure, but it was true what i expected
How can flashing software affect the sim-card that seems hardware to me...?
Is there any possibility that the sim-card gets wiped or something?
No, it doesn't seem to be SIM card - I can't try another card in my Note II because it is the only phone I have with MICRO card. But my card from Note II works just fine in old Sony-Ericsson....
BTW, took the SIM card out and back and still no go. It has no BASEBAND.
I wonder... when I bought the phone, it's 1st language was GERMAN. It could be german import. It wasn't CZECH. Now I've flashed Czech ROM. Could that have any impact?
Managed to "repair" it. Just flashed the SAME ROM with Odin from PC, and my IMEI reappeared.... HAPPY!!!
Thanx 4 help!
Make efs backup.

Will have to Thanx! Lost my root now, but important that it works

No cell network after flashing factory image

Hi,
I just flashed 4.3 google factory image, and everything went well.
When I switch on the phone, it ask me my PIN code, and then, no mobile network is recognized. The problem persists even after a reboot.
I tried with 2 sim card from 2 different carrier, and the result is the same. I'm in France, and the radio xxlj1 worked fine before the flashing of the factory image.
Does someone know what is going on?
I would try newer radios, if possible...

UGLL1 was not better than XXLJ1 before factory image flash. I don't think it is the radio, because it was working before very well with xxlj1.
I have just noticed that I can put a wrong PIN code and the phone can unlock the sim card. Is it possible that the sim card reader is dead? Is there any tool or app to check the readability of the sim card?

I mean it would be one thing if you dropped the phone in water or something... but for it to stop working after flashing the factory image?...
Try flashing the earliest available image, 4.0.4 I believe.

I tried it, without success. I flashed a factory image, because most of times, my phone was stuck at google logo without reason, even after a full wipe.
But now, I noticed that the phone can connect to cellphone network at approx 1 boot over 10. I suppose it is a hardware problem, but it is very strange. When the network is ok at boot, everything is fine until next reboot, when the SIM card is detected, but not read correctly.
