Desire Wont Recognize SD card and Sim Card please help

hello Friends,
i have bought HTC desire from United Kingdom over superetrader
normally im living in turkey. i've sent the cellphone to one of my friend in UK
and she brought cellphone to turkey.
yesterday at my first try ive put my sd card and sim card and opened it. But on the screen ive seen "No sim card in phone" moreover i got "Removed SD card , insert a new one"
i believe card slots not working well and there is hardware problem occured. does anyone know how to fix that problem ? any idea?
by the way, my friend got all the things in the box . but didnt take the box with herself.. so i have all the material and Invoice but no box.
since i bought the cellphone from U.K. i dont know what to do exactly for warranty. im desperately needed the suggestions.
thank you for your help
Have you tried formatting your SD card via your phone or OS? Try both and then check if it is detected.

i have tried one 512 mb micro sd, and one 8gb micro sd. the original one was 4gb micro sd. allof them have worked with my HTC touch HD. but none of them detected with Desire. desire only says , no SD CARD please insert SD card.
same issue happened at my sim cards too. when i plugged my sim cards desire says " No sim card inserted." im sure i bought unlocked version.
Has to be an issue with the phone then... have you tried a hard reset? Other than that, to me, it sounds defective and would replace it if under warranty.

When you purchased it, did it not come with a Warranty booklet?
If not, then i think you should contact them via their support email address:
[email protected]
Explain that you ordered it from them and you suspect it may be defective, ask why you did not receive a warranty with your purchase.

as you said im gona call them tomorrow. but there is only one thing that concerns me. ive left the box to the trash. i've only got the S/N, P/N IMEI part of the box. (ive cut it ). do you think that might be a problem for Warranty?
i have everything in the package , Invoice and S/N part of the box. i hope that would be enough for Warranty. i will be appreciate for the answers.

As long as you return everything and the items (phone and accessories) do not have any superficial damage then that should be ok for them to accept and replace. If unsure, read their returns guidelines and call them to explain your situation.
They should accept your item as a return as you will be in the 'cool-off period'.
Their website actually states that no warranty booklet in included in the box, but still question them about this and state you expected one.

[Q] Looking for TMO stock firmware! Very important!

Hello community!
I'have some big troubles with my Desire, it's restarting sometimes. I've looked around here and i will send my device back to TMO.
Sad thing, i've custom image and will get the stock version back. My Service Provider is T-MOBILE GERMANY and i can't find any firmware for it.
May someone help me out, where to find one that will fit to it and not give me troubles then?
Thanks!
There isn't one. Closest one is T-Mobile Austria
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.10.05.17_2_release_143754_signed.exe
I was trying this one, it gives me error 170, something like USB Connection failed... I was succesfull with UK version, but i think i will get troubles with TMO warranty...
Did you use a gold card on the UK one?
Currently no.
No one else?
You might get away with it cos the UK version had a few German apps on it anyway.

If you didn't use a gold card then isn't that the right ruu for the phone.

Simcard stopped working (Bizarre case)

Today out of the blue my sim card stopped working.
1) I tried the simcard on my friend's phone, it works fine!
2) I tried my friend's simcard on my phone, it worked!
So for some reason my phone rejects my simcard.
I got desperate and decided to do a factory reset which didn't help.
My phone is running stock android and it's perm rooted.
I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions please?
Thanks.
If you sim stoped working talk to your mobile provider

My sim card works on other phones, so I think it's something else.
Oh... sorry I misread. It must be a defect or something. Have you tried flashing other roms. If it keeps happening get it replaced

So I spoke to tech support and they said they will send me a sim card free of charge this time. But the guy informed me that my phone is burning the sim cards because it wasn't designed to work with HTC devices, so it's reading the simcards improperly ending up damaging it.
He said I need to modify some code on the phone so it wouldn't burn the sim cards.
Any ideas?
Now the sim card suddenly started working........... that's too odd.

Losing signal on my HOX

This is weird. When I woke up I restarted my HOX and suddenly signal kept dropping. Keeps saying preparing sim card. What could be causing this? I don't want to keep factory resetting. Seems to be a really great phone but now I don't know if I should return it. Please if anyone can help.

Got exactly the same thing, was told by HTC it was faulty. Send it back for a replacement.

are you using a call blocker? I was getting weird issues when using root call blocker. I had to uninstall it, had read from the app devs they are working on the problem

mine is still stock, but I only had problems after I updated 2-3 days ago
had really great signal before upgrade... havent tried restoring fabric settings, but am searching for custom rom, and will try that out
Already happened to me three times where suddenly "preparing sim card" appears and I lose signal. Had to hard reset all the time. Unfortunately, htc shops here in the Philippines are crap. They say they have to send it to service center even if the phone is a week old. For what? So they open it up? I don't want to have a week old phone opened and fixed. I want a replacement.
Have the phone for 2 week now, and today i also faced this problem for the first time T_T (running stock 1.28)
Just great, first the yellow spots that didn't went away and now this problem on top of it ?
I hope it was a coincidence and hope i won't get worse.
I had my microSIM replaced and so far, crossing my fingers, signal has been full almost all the time. I just had the original SIM cut before, so I hope that was just the problem.
I've read about sim cards been cut to micro sim been a possible cause.

Similar fault here with factory micro Sim

In Slovenia one carrier has this problem. Only SIM cards older than 2 years work so it is a SIM problem. When I asked them about when they will solve this they told me it's HTC's problem and that HTC is working on the problem. Maybe the next update will fix it. SIM cards of other carriers work ok. So if you can, try cards from other carriers. If anyone knows how to fix this I'd be grateful. I don't want to switch my carrier because other two's 3G network is [email protected]

Desire HD doesn't read SIM-CARD! HELP!

Hello guys,
My Desire HD fell today, since that SIM card isn't recognized. I tried to fix the problem, picking up on duct tape and taped around the sim card to get thicker but this isn't a solution. I need help because its the only phone I have.
Many thanks,
Maybe your SIM Card is bricked? :crying:
Do you already tried Reinstalling ?
Maybe its Magic. But I think you have to let it repair by a Profi.

SIM cards do go bad from time to time. All you might need is a new one. Go to your carrier and replace it, its free.

Hello guys,
I think it's not sim-card problem because I can use it on other phones.
I've done a restore of the phone, but same problem.
I don't know what can I do to fix this problem.
So, I bought a new Samsung Galaxy SIII and I use the same sim-card as before. I really want to fix this problem because I want to give my phone to someone.
Cheers,
:good:
