Hey guys, shortly I'm having troubles with my HTC Desire.
Everything worked fine, got it rooted and flashed about 3 weeks ago, but since yesterday my phone is constantly telling me not having a SIM card inserted.
I've tried several things, such as taking sim card out etc, flashing new rom / changing roms, wiping everything (factory reset), but it still won't work properly and still telling me "no service" / no SIM card inserted. The phone is starting as it's usually done, white/green HTC screen and then starting like normaly, except I have no signal (no calls / txts / mobile network).
My phone is fully rooted, using ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0, Gingerbread 2.3.2 and my ROM is the current Miui.
I hope some help me, cause I can't find anything proper that's bringing me any further.
Thanks alot.

Test the sim on another phone. They die sometimes unexpectedly

How old is your Sim their normal lifetime is aprox 3 to 5 years. Then they most likely die.
Praise the lord, you were right, the SIM is broken -.-
Stupid not checking that before :>
Thanks alot.

Hi guys,
ok... I have an HTC desire... originally on Virgin Mobile and now unlocked. I'm an O2 customer...
I have rooted and installed the Leedroid rom... originally at version 1.8b. Everything was fine.... until I had a corruption on the SD card.... which I fixed when I got a second following a couple of days of "mounted read only." A day or so later, I lost connection to the O2 network and have been unable to regain it, despite several ROM (I'm now running Leedroid 1.9) and radio reflashes.
I still have access to wi-fi, gps etc.
I have tested my sim card in another phone (all ok) as well as other sim cards in my phone (doesn't work.) I have also swapped and tried another O2 sim.
The phone detects all the major networks... just won't let me connect.
The error message I get when trying to connect to a network manually is "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
I've obviously checked that the phone isn't IMEI blocked etc. I've also tried the sim unlock from the fastboot menu, the switching on and off of the radio, airplane mode... lots and lots of stuff.
I really am at my wits end with this issue. I love the desire... but it's obviously of no use to me without the phone element!!!
Can anyone please suggest something to solve this problem???? Could the corruption of the sd card have caused this in some way, despite several rom/radio reflashes since? I really want to stick with the desire, but at the moment I effectively have a £400 brick....
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.....

Firstly this is not a development issue, its a question.....
But anyway, when the phone is telling you that you cannot connect to the network is it allowing you to enter an unlock code at all? Or have you ever "unlocked" the phone in the past?
You're right Lenny... apologies for creating the thread in the wrong part of the forum.... perhaps a mod could move it....
Yes... the phone was unlocked from Virgin mobile prior to me buying it [from ebay.] I didn't perceive this to be an issue, given that I actually had connection to O2 for a day or two before losing it...
No... the phone/sim is not asking for a code when I attempt to connect.
Thanks,
Shep

and did it stop letting you on randomly, or did you do something immediately before?
Nope... completely random. I was in a poor reception area and initially put it down to this... but then it never returned and I'm now back at home having had zero connection for a week.
I think that my repair of the SD card was after I initially lost connection. But as I said, I'm not sure whether the SD card corruption is a red herring.
Call me sceptical, but I doubt you would of been able to check whether it was on the IMEI blacklist or not unless you worked for a phone network.
It's not public knowledge and someone working for O2 shouldn't have told you if it was or wasn't.
Also, even if they did and the IMEI listed on the handset is NOT blacklisted, as was possible with WinMo devices, you may have unintentionally changed the recorded IMEI on the handset to one that IS blacklisted - unlikely though I'll admit.

the sd card should not have anything to do with radio.
Go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
then press phone info
done.... what info do i need to post?

try to go down the bottom and press the "turn radio off" button
then when its turned off try to turn it back on, then see what happens.
Just done it and no changes.
Did it several times between reflashes too... not so much as a flicker...
No idea then, unless the IMEI has been blacklisted.
Ok.... thanks anyway.
Any luck getting this to work? Am in the same situation - t-Mobile unlocked Desire with a 3 SIM?
Edit: I have intermittent reception/connection to 3 now - I did a lot of recovering/trying RUUs which would partially load on Win 7 then just disappear...assume they should have done something more than that. What seems to have helped - and I partially had this problem in my Nokia E65 - was to place a piece of paper (SIM sized) behind the SIM to 'push' it onto the contacts. Well, maybe it was a software issus but it's now my luck paper and I'm not removing it!
Gone again. Very annoying.
RUU'd to RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed (unbranded 2.2) and still no luck.
Any ideas?
Hello all,
my Defy is stuck in emergency mode and can't find my carrier anymore (o2). Details:
- only emergency calls possible, no network found
- another mobile in my house gets outstanding connection (o2 aswell), when switching SIMs, it's still my Defy not getting a connection
- wiping the Defy has not changed anything, even with stock settings all I see is the red cross (put my settings back with clockwork recovery)
- an hour or two before this happened I was listening to music with my headphones, but between taking the headphones out and GSM failing I was sending texts
- When doing a search for other carriers I can see some (though not reliably), but not mine
- I bought my Defy via Amazon, so no SIMlock, obviously.
- WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS are all working fine, so they probably have different antennae
- I rooted my Defy, but this was over a month ago, and it was working fine. I also did not install apps or update some existing ones before this happened. I also did not reboot. It just happened. Put it in my pocket and next time I got it out there was the red cross.
In Phone Info -> Status it says under signal strength "-111 dBm 1APU". It all looks like the antenna is broken, but I didn't hit it, drop it, put it into water or hurt it in any way before this happened or the 3-4 days before. So I'm really lost here.
Anyone? Thanks in advance.
Hi. Have the defy for about a month now. Same issue since first day. Dont know whats wrong. Found out that after 4-5 reboots its ok and lasts till next reboot/switch off. So try turn it on/off 4-5 time or just download a quick reboot app and do the same to see what happens. If aneyone has any idea on how to fix this?
i get this all the time when i flash my defy thru any other rom......and thus roll back every time to stock (indian) rom.....
try flashing your phone with any compatible rom....new radios might get ure phone working
Same problem here. First time today, spontaneous, after a month of use my Defy, non rooted, never unlocked, standard noMOTOBLUR, just like as it was bought from store. Moto_Versiuo.2.34.1.MB525.Retail.en.SEA
None of these worked to restablish the radio connection: succesive reboot, manual/automatic network search and choose, succesive airplane on/off. I didn't check the signal parameters.
I thought that the SIM just burned, removed and try it on another phone and everything was OK. When put it back in Defy, the network connection was established.
The experience was very strange and my final verdict was that the SIM just moved a little from its initial position.
BUT now I realize the problem is more complex and I don't know what caused it !
I have also noticed that the sim card slot gives a little more space for the simcard to move (at least on my defy). Might be a prob with the sim card being old or something (mine is from 2005). For now i'll just try to keep my phone on (seems i finally found stable settings for setvsel, so no more unexpected reboots).
An answer from motorola's official support forum is just remove the simcard and clean it with some cloth...
This is definitely a sim slot/card problem. If bought from amazon they will oblige to change it without any money. I did the same but not for this problem.
If you think there is some problem with software, which is unlikely then flash an sbf and see if things are fine.
To begin with flash chinese froyo sbf. It is downgradable to any previous firmware you were using and very flexible.
Hope this can solve your problem. Get back on what the result is.
Same here...
My defy got network yesterday at 07pm til mid-night.
before, since 16 (11pm) til 19 (7pm) before it function again.
and now, its bloked.
i rooted my cell one month ago, then, probably thats not the fault of z4root.
Sorry about my badass english, i still in upgrade mode.
any idea about it guys ?
thnx

Problem solved replacing sim card with a new.
I've spent the last several hours trying to fix my new "No Sim" and "Emergency Calls Only" problem on my GT-N7100.
The phone worked with my SIM card last week. In the middle of a call, it stopped working. I have replaced the sim holder, rooted the phone, deleted the cache files with Titanium, and still nothing. I can remove the sim card and put it back into my HTC OneX and it works fine. I have tried my wife's sim card from her iPhone 5. It doesn't work either.
I also looked around in the network menus (8#913...). The sim shows to be unknown.
Should I look at replacing the modem software? If so, where do I get it and how do I do it?
I am an AT&T subscriber in North America.
Thanks in advance!

You just need to change your modem or reflash stock rom

Thanks for the reply. How do I ensure that I have the right modem for my location?
I just flashed it with the BTU N7100XXDMC3 N7100OXXDMC2. Still not working. Add to it, the new screen that I just installed in it last night died this morning. Now I've got to wait for the ebay store to replace it. This phone is becoming a money pit, and I can't even get it to make a call. I placed three calls on it with MY sim card before I bought it, so I know it worked.
Hi guys, last week, my HOX out of warranty, suddendly decided to stop reading any sim card. I've tried different methods that I've found on XDA but none of them worked (disassembly, reset, other roms, other sim). Actually it worked in 2g for a couple of hours and then it stopped every sim related connection. Now I sadly use my HOX as an ipod touch and a nokia c5 which hasn't got wifi as normal phone. It would be very useful for me if I could use whatsapp on both devices at the same time with only my phone number (c5 with sim card and HOX under WIFI). I've googled the problem and the only solution I've found wants mac adress of the phone with whatsapp and sim but my c5 hasn't got it as it has no wlan card. Any ideas about my problem? Solving the sim problem would be accepted too .
To use whatsapp you need sim in your HOX Go to some private service..^^

Update: now, if I put a sim in, everything works for about 2 minutes and then no signal again. I've reflashed radio with ril but no luck.
Need for an advice
Hello!
I have problem with SIM card in my d855.
I'm on Cleanrom from September, but a week ago SIM just disconnected.
No tweaks, clean install.
I reinstalled whole phone to stock (Stock ROM locked my phone using killswitch, so I reinstalled it using BoardDiag)
Flashed CleanRom again, SIM works for few minutes then disc.
Also tried cm11,13 and few modems.
On cm11 SIM working whole night and at morning after some use disconnected.
SIM works normally in another phone.
I record log, which happens every time i turn airplane mode off, reboot or similar "SIM connect try"
Maybe my SIM reader just stopping work, but why after x minutes?
Uploading logs from phone failing, here is G Drive link:
log1
log2
Sorry for my bad English, I'm still learning.
Hi,
Lot of people are having this issue in the last couple of months.
It's not the SIM reader, it appears to be something related to heat in the transmitters area.
