Hello HTC People,
I've just bought my HTC Touch Pro 2 (2nd hand, in good shape).
The previous owner had already made it sim unlocked and hard reset the device before sending it to me.
My problem now is, whatever i do, my htc keeps telling me to put a SIM card in it!!
I've tried an other Hardspl, and another ROM, currently hardspl olinex and rom deepshining.
I don't know what to do, it doesn't help to put another brand SIM card in it either..
Thanks in advance,
Bouke

fixed it, connector of the simcard holder thing was crippled so i bend it back and put a littile layer of tape @ my sim card and it works ^^

Hi All,
I noticed yesterday that my MDA Pro (T-mobile UK) had re-booted and come up with the SIM lock keypad, BUT there was the following error invalid or missing sim card.
Now, I tried a soft & hard reset and took the SIM out and re-fitted it without success.
I re-ran Buzz's Universal SIM unlock but still no joy.
I've had the PDA for several months (got it on ebay) used many ROM's without any problems what so ever until yesterday. I left the phone this morning updating with the latest T-Mobile (UK) ROM... now what is wrong??
(1) Is there a fault with the SIM card??
(2) Have T-mobile found out that my phone is now different to my original contract phone? and blocked the SIM/phone??
(3) Is there a hardware issue with my MDA Pro..
I guess I'll try the SIM in my wife's unlocked orange phone to check.
The odd thing is that my MDA had been connected to my PC all this week (I haven't taken it out) and the SIM problem only showed up yesterday?
Any help gladly received (
Cheers
John
Cleaning the sim card and the connectors on the phones with a dry cloth works for me.....
Just tried my SIM card in my wife's unlocked SE Z600 and it says "No SIM" - so I guess my sim card has died?? - Is this possible???
Definately Duff !! T-mobile sending me a SIM free of charge!!
Ok When I Turn My Dash On Now I Get A Screen That Say ..sim Card Is Missing Or Is Invalid...i Even Tried My Wifes Sim Card Does The Same Thing...any One Got Any Ideas...my Other Dash Works Fine.....please Help I Tried Reboots And Different Roms...etc...still Does It Seems Like The Phone Isnt Reading My Sim Card..the Phone Is Only 1 Month Old..
Are you sure the phone is SIM unlocked? Or if the SIM card is the right one for the phone? There's really only one correct way to insert a SIM card....Are you sure this isn't an ID10T error? PEBKAC error maybe?

What network do you have, and where did you get your phone from. I can try to help you out from here just let me know the network and where you have your phone from. Also tell me if the phone is tmobile branded (if it says tmobile on it in the front).

I have the same problem. When I was running WM6, I would get this error multiple times throughout the day and I'd have to turn the PHONE function off then back on or sometimes I'd even have to do a soft-reset to get my Dash to recognize my SIM. Now that I have flashed my to Kavanna's WM6.1 I only get this error once a day, but I'd like to know how to stop it from happening.
Network: T-Moblie
Bought From: Ebay
Branded: Yes
Sim Unlocked: No
App Unlocked: Yes
WM 6.1 Standard
Radio Version 4.1.13.51_03.07.90
RIL Version 2.002
CE OS 5.2.19700 (Build 19700.1.1.0)
Thanks in advance.
If you have not exchanged your SIM in a while it could just be that the SIM is old, yeah it happens. It is free to swap out your SIM card at any T-Mobile retail store. I had this problem about a year ago and I simply went to T-Mobile and they gave me a new SIM (they just copy the contents of your SIM to a new one and program it with your number. Solved my SIM error message.
Also your SIM may be inserted wrong, it could be dirty (the contacts can 'gloss over') or there is dirt / dust in the SIM holder.. blow it out.
If all the above fails then it is the device, if under warranty have it replaced.
I had the SIM card replaced by T-Mobile about a month ago and that solved the problem for a couple of days, but now it's back. I made sure it is aligned right and clean.
Any other ideas?
I used my phone a few days ago then put it on a shelf. The battery ran down and I left it. I then plugged it in, turned it on and left it to charge. When I came back to the phone it said 'No Sim' or similar. I have taken the battery out, cleaned the connections, taken the sim and memory card and done the same then put it all back. For some reason the phone will not recognise that I have put a SIM in there. I do not have another SIM to test but why would it suddenly stop working? Could this be a radio problem?
I am running Oops Black v1.0 WWE Rom WM6.1 CE OS 19949 on an XDA Orbit.
Thank you!
Please...anyone...help?
I cant call my girlfriend, friends or family I have no money to buy a new phone and O2 have said that becuase its out of warranty they cannot help.
I have tried flashing the phone with a new ROM but that has not made any difference. I managed to test the SIM earlier on another phone and the SIM works fine. Must be the phone.
You just need to hard/soft reset until it picks up the SIM. I was just having this issue with my Kaiser and you just need to keep puttin the sim in and out until the phone picks it up. Also try putting the sim into the sim slot and pushing it down onto the contacts.

Thank you for the reply. I have tried doing that but with no luck. It still does not like the SIM
Hi guys,
This is my very first post so please be patient with me.
I just received my HTC TD purchased through Ebay. It is a model P3720 with the Telstra NextG branding on box and phone cover. It was advertised as unlocked yet it does not read my 3 sim card. It comes up as sim card missing.
How do I resolve this issue? Can someone help? Im excited about receiving this phone today and simply dying to play with it, so if any of you can give me some advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Step by Step...
I'd say first get a Telstra SIM and try that in the phone, this will tell you if the phone is working correctly... Then get a SIM from another network (not 3) and try it with that SIM, if the phone recognises the SIM it is unlocked, if not it isn't and you can get it unlocked by looking at the sticky Diamond unlocking thread on this forum...
If it works with the second SIM but does not work with the 3 SIM take the 3 SIM out wipe it off blow onto the contacts in the phone and try it again, if it still does not work try the 3 SIM in a 3 branded phone to see if it works. If it does and the Diamond is unlocked you might have to phone 3 customer services for advice - don't expect much though as they will probably say they don't support phones which are not branded as 3 phones.
The alternative is to search around here for some more help.
Hope the above has been helpful.
mate just download original rom provided by three it can be found here on this forum,do a bit of research. good luck..

Hi there,
I am a so far satisfied owner of a G3 but since 10 days I have been having an issue with my G3 and I wanted to ask around if someone here has an idea or some thought that could help.
My situation is the following:
About 2 weeks ago I switched my mobile service provider. When my new SIM card from my new provider arrived I tried the SIM card in my G3 but there was just the massage "no sim card found" and no possibility to type in your PIN. So I thought maybe I got a defective SIM card, it happens. I ordered a new one but the problem remained with the new card in my G3 aswell, still no pssibility to type in my PIN. So I tried troubleshooting and started trying the SIM cards in diffrent phones. In other phones the SIM card from the new provider worked perfectly and I was able to type in my PIN like it should be. When I tried putting other SIM cards in my G3 (from my Mom, Dad etc. and also from different providers) none of them worked in my G3. Even my sisters SIM card from the same new provider AND she has also a G3. So far it seems that the my G3s SIM card reader is broken.
The weird thing is that when I put in my G3 my old SIM card from the old provider the prompt to type in my PIN appears as normal as ever. If I type in my PIN the phone accepts the PIN normally. There is just no reception which is normal because I am not with my old provider anymore. I also have to add that the phone appears not to have SIM lock. I bought it from a private seller but he bought the G3 with a vodafone contract and I was with O2 at that time and the phone worked perfectly. Just until I switched from O2 to Congstar (Telekom) the problem began.
So I thought I just send it back to LG because I still have warranty on the device. The phone is rooted so I need to admit that it was not that clever to send the phone in without rolling back the rooting. Today I got a letter from the repair service from LG with an estimate of cost which means no surprise, no warranty for me. You guess right, the reason is the rooting they write they need to change the whole mainboard. For me this sound like plain bull**** because on the document they send it seems like the first thing they check is a rooting and if the device is rooted then thats the cause. But ok it was pretty stupid from me not to unroot it, I know.
Now I wanted to ask you if someone had a similar problem with their G3 or has an idea what the cause could be. Like mentioned above with my old SIM card the phone worked normally. Just the new cards and all other cards, even another O2 card did not work. Is it possible that just one and only one SIM cards gets accepted from the phone?
Sorry for the long post. I am thankful for any advice.
Best regards,
Patrick
I'll have my phone back tomorrow. If someone still has an idea I would be very thankful about some thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks!

It seems your phone is Sim locked.
You need to find the unlocking code that you need to put in the hidden menu.
Google for LG G3 Sim unlock.
Sent from my phone
Hi,
thanks for your reply! Iam not sure it is because of sim lock- Because the phone came with a vodafone contract but when I bought it I was with O2. And with my old sim card from O2 the phone worked perfectly. Weird is that when I put in a different O2 sim card the pin prompt also did not appear. Same with any other sim card ...
Thanks,
Patrick
Or did maybe someone have a similar experience with a different phone?

Hi again,
I tried some more things but still nothing helped.
The things I tried were:
- unrooting the phone and factory reset
- reflash radios
- try completely diffrent rom (CM)
Still I have no idea what the cause could be. Maybe the sim card reader is just broken. Just weird that it reads my deactivated sim card.
I would really appreciate it if someone has an idea or some similar experience..
Thanks!
You can buy an unlock code for 3.5-4€ , works for any LG G3 variant
Try it
Ok, thanks! I will try it!
So I just looked at what I have to do and tried the combination 2945#*855# to see where I have to type in the code. The thing is when I choose any one of the appearing options like netlock etc. the phone says "this phone is permanently locked" and there is no possibility to type in any code...
How the hell is my phone completely locked...
