Hello, I'm having a very serious problem with my Galaxy Nexus, I was running Foxhound 1.2 perfectly, but wanted to try the new 4.0.4 Foxhound 0.2, so I wiped and did everything as normal, and installed the ROM, the phone then asked me for my network unlock code, which I used the sim unlock .bat file against, I've used that file for every ROM and it has worked perfectly... Okay so I used the .bat file, however it didn't seem to work, as my phone still asked me about the network unlock code, so I didn't bother, and flashed back my backup of my Foxhound 1.2 ROM. When it had booted, it asked for my SIM PIN, as normal and I entered it, it then said that it was incorrect, and I'm 100% sure that I write the right PIN, so I thought that I could only be the SIM card which was at fault, so I tested it in my dad's HTC Desire, and it worked perfectly... I then decided to wipe the phone completely, /system, /data, /cache, everything! And I then restored the phone back to stock 4.0.2 from Google, however it still won't accept the pin code, and when I try to change it, is says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code" I then decided to change the SIM PIN with the Desire, and it worked, I then popped the SIM card back into my Nexus, and it still says incorrect pin! This is where I stand, I don't have a clue what to do anymore, if this is truly a hardware fault, how could it just appear when flashing a new ROM? You might ask why I don't send it in for repair, well the thing is, my brother bought two, one for him and one for me, when he was in Great Britain, and I live in Denmark, so shipping would be quite a hassle
I really hope anyone knows what to do!
Regards
Jacob
Sorry, can't help you with a solution, but I don't think it's broken. It sounds more like there is still some data left on your device which interferes with the normal function of network/SIM card access.
Where does the unlock.bat write to? ...
Use your other phone to remove the SIM PIN and try again.
Disable the SIM Pin and try again.
Hope it works.
Huh, well I somehow solved the problem, I took the simcard out, and put it in again, and it somehow worked... However I don't know if this is a temporarily solution, as I haven't tried to take the simcard out again... Also if I format /system, /data and /cache in CWM, shouldn't the phone be completely formatted?

Maybe bad connection on your sim card?
Try removing the SIM card and put it back in, and then boot the phone.

done that, doesn't help
Im getting hte same issue. The 4.0.2 update came through, rebooted the phone. SIM not found, press to reboot....
Rebooted, SIM still not working. remove SIM and replace. Still not working. replaced with another SIM. Still not working.
Was working fine prior to the 4.0.2 update. This is on a 1 month old phone that has never been rooted. It is still as stock as it comes out of the box... And i want to test it more before i start boxing it up to send it back...
Have you tried leaving the battery out for a bit, then trying powering it up again?
Here is where it gets weird. I tried 2 other sim cards as well as my own. none of them worked. put my sim card back in and tried again, still not working. turned it off over night. went to Vodafone and asked if i could try a new SIM in the phone. still not working. put my TPG/Optus sim in and it started working. got a new SIM from Voda, transfered all the account info to the new card, waited an hour and tried it again and now it works :/
Dont know what caused it to stop working and dont know what caused it to start working again :/ im going to throw the word "Vodafone" in there as the cause because people will just nod their head and say... "yep, that was probably it..."
I have the same issue with AT&T....the phone does recognize the SIM, APN and all...but no signal. Just once in a while it gets registered on teh network, but for one minute or so...I don't know what to do
Same issue here, after a reboot my phone does not recognize my sim at all. no signal at all. tried a different sim, nothing, bought a new sim but nothing again, returned to stock, everything, but still nothing....no remedy yet....
I have an Xperia Play and I decided to flash it with cyanogenmod. First version I got working was the 7.1.0.2. Everything was working fine except for my network: the phone didn't even ask me for the PIN.
After this, I tried the experimental CM9.0 RC1, yet I found the same problem: SIM card not recognized, phone didn't ask PIN, no networks found.
At this point I realized I didn't install a baseband on my phone and tried that. I started flashing it with flashtool, but then forgot to install the .zip file from CWM.
With this the phone was asking for a PIN, but soon afterwards it asked for a "SIM network unlock code". My phone is not sim locked.
After I installed the baseband -36 correctly (with the .zip file from CWM), it returned to behave like before: no PIN asked, no networks found.
Is there a fix for this? I searched for a whole afternoon for this, didn't find anything. I'll give further details if needed, thanks in advance.
By the way, if I revert the system to the stock sony ericsson ROM everything works fine. My carrier is "3 Italy".
EDIT: Installed CM9RC2 and now everything works fine except for wi-fi. Well, i suppose it is to be expected from experimemntal builds.
I flashed in JB AOKP was working fine all of last night. I also entered my SIM Pin or unlock code. The first time I put in an 8 digit unlock code I have. Second time it prompted me I skipped it. I'm pretty sure it was the security pin and not the network unlock. I don't have any other phone's micro SIM I can insert into my phone and a local phone store's T Mobile SIM produced no different of a result except for replacing AT&T with T-Mobile (I have not however put my microSIM into another phone...because I don't have another micro sim phone). Reboot phone this morning and it's no longer working. Tried to enable 2g. Nothing. Tried a battery pull with the phone on, pulling the SIM (same message with SIM pulled out),
Wifi works
This sucks big time ;(
Note: I am pretty sure I did not network lock the phone or anything because the SIM prompt that came up when I flashed JB did not ask me for my unlock or network code (I would have known). The first time I entered that code was 'just in case it's asking me to unlock" but why would it ask me a second time then? So I doubt it was prompting me for a network unlock code. The prompt from youtube videos was different too.
Also APN is empty, but I think that's becasue I'm not connected to any network
Pressing Available networks brings up AT&T AT&T AT&T T-Mobile T-Mobile "311660" pressing any of them you get a quick window connect "too fast" goes back to/stays in available networks screen and says "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later."
So I added the AOKP and Corresponding kernel yesterday and I mean it was working fine with 4g... apparently this thread says that you need to flash a new radio in some cases when you change kernels?

...what are you talking about. My IMEI isn't mentioned once in that post. In fact now that you mention it, since people's IMEI changed...nothing like that my phone still has its IMEI
I also did not get a "phone frozen" from entering the wrong code too many times...so I doubt its locked like that. There was a random reboot that I WOKE UP to, but nothing weird...it rebooted randomly but worked finely after that

I was proposing the theory that you may have lost your IMEI, since the symptoms you report were very similar to what I was experiencing when I lost mine, however since you still have yours, must be something else, eh?

Well, mine was definitely due to a lost imei that happened sometime when flashing.
I did get the network unlock warning thingy twice, and then had no cellular connectivity, which is why I mentioned the lost imei. I restored my nandroid back to stock, then used the method here with a little driver tapdancing to reinject my imei, and that solved my issues, but sounds like you have something else going on.

If I flash back to stock and no longer have the stock kernel, what is the steps for flashing back then?
1. flash stock kernel
2 fix partitions
3. factory rest/cache/davlik
reboot into oden and flash new image?
Long story short, Don't cut your own microsd..the sim pins on this phone are VERY sensitive and hard to fix/see. Don't bend em.
I am having the same problems right now, I keep on getting " NO SERVICE" - SELECTED NETWORK UNAVAILABLE" Error.
Rebooting doesnt help, flashing modem through CWM doesnt help. I know for a fact that the simcard it good because other apps that I install can read the sim with no problem, and my WIFI is working like a charm.
Someone got a solution for this? This is already like 4 days ongoing, please any help will be appreciated !!
Im having the same no service selected network issue. I can search and find att and the mobile but when I try to have it connect to att that's the error I get. I have an att SIM card in the phone. Sph l720 SIM unlocked, it didn't ask me for an unlock code or anything like that but I also don't get the invalid SIM card error. I've added the main apn from the att website but that doesn't help and the phone is current set to gsm/umts. If anyone has a fix please let me know, thank you.
I've had my Desire since it came out but a problem has just come up: the phone will shut down whenever the SIM card is inserted. Without it it'll work fine, but if i put it in, when it boots, as soon as it tries to connect to the network it'll shut down. I've tried a different SIM card and the problem is the same.
This started by using MIUI but i've clean installed a CM7 based rom and the problem is still there.
My phone is out of warranty so taking it in is not worth it.
Thanks
Did you try to flash a new radio.img?
No i havn't, i, rather stupidly, hadn't thought of that..... i guess i thought that when i flashed a new rom i'd get a new radio!
When you run RUU you get a new radio, but ordinary custom roms don't have that option.
I flashed the latest radio and the problem remains the same.........:crying:
Any other ideas?!
Then it's probably a hardware issue. You can try to disassemble it and try to fix connectors.
I'm now completly los now; the phone switches off with 3 different sim cards but not witha forth!!! I'll have the SIM card replaced even though it does work fine in my HTC ChaChaCha........
Very strange!
Thanks for your help anyway, it's obviously got to do with the card and not the phone so i guess the solutions been found!!
I have had the same problem, until yesterday. I'm running a cooked ICS ROM, and the issue has gone as soon as I have switched to a newer RIL. So don't take it for granted that it's a hardware issue or SIM-related. Hope this helps.
For everyone who have this problem

My help
you just have to activate the pin code on security and location setting
but the SIM card must be inserted to activate the pin code
If you never activate the pin code, then the default code is usually 0000
if the phone is turned off before you have to get to the temp setting reply me and i'll tell u what to do
If it worked for u don't forget to hit thanks
hi
I have a very annoying problem whit the sim slot 1 (i currently test the slot 2)
Very often, the phone tell me "Sim card not detected", and i have to open the phone, dismount the card and put in again.. until the next time.. like i said, it's occurs very often, 10-15 a day..
Even when the phone is on the table without touching it..
I have rooting it and thats it.. 2.19.40.22
I would like to know if someone have similar problems before i try to reflash whit older stock rom??!
It happened to me briefly- After flashing my first full back -up back to the fone --then i did a factory reset and this fixed the sim slot problem

Hi, I think i have the same problem after testing the Cyanogen build for ZE551ML. Have you did a factory reset from recovery (wipe data, cache and dalvik) or a full stock rom flash ?
Thanks
Above, I was referring to the full 5gb asus ROM back up I made immediately after unlocking bootloader installing twrp and rooting, I installed svn ROM and backed that up too..stripped svn ROM further..backed that up too. Then went about trying my Asus full original...sim 2 was only detected..so did a factory reset and sim came back.
To get sim recognised in CM,I had to wipe usual..install..set up...and factory reset it...hope that clears it up a bit lol

Oh,try a reboot after factory reset..I forgot to put in description above
Guys can you check your sim holder lock . I mean when you put the sim in holder check if it is properly fitted. Issue is some SIM cards are thinner than normal and sim holder unable to grip it. I faced same issue.
Also recommend using ASUS ZenUI app called ASUS Support. There are several helpful tips with basic troubleshooting techniques for your device including including SIM card troubleshooting. Please go to Apps/ASUS Support/Assistance/SIM Card/Sim card not detected

Sim Card not detected
Hey guys,
I am having a similar issue. I have 2 Sims, AT&T and GCI (local carrier). AT&T Sim works in both Slot 1 & 2, and GCI Sim works in slot 2 only. The AT&T sim is a standard MicroSim and the GCI sim is a Tri-Cut sim, so basically a NanoSim in a Micro Adapter.
Sometimes when the GCI Sim is in slot 1, it will recognize for a couple seconds then go gray..

I subscribe to the "theory" that some SIM cards are thinner than others and they drop out of slot 1.
In fact, I have 3 SIM cards and they range in thickness by around 0.5mm according to my cheap chinese mircometer. I don't believe that it is coincidence that the thinner ones lose SIM detection more than the thicker ones.
Also it is no coincidence that slot 2 doesn't lose detection becuase the SIMs don't slide upwards out of slot 2, but they do slide downwards out of slot 1.
Do this experiment: Put a SIM in each slot, now place a 3rd SIM in the space between the two. You will notice that it sits easily in the gap between the two installed SIMs with a bit of free play. Put the back cover back on and use the phone normally for a while (a day or two). Now take off the phone back and tip the phone over, does the "third" SIM fall on the floor, or has it been gripped by the SIM in slot 1 as it has gradually slid out of its slot?
Since I put one layer of sellotape on the back of all my SIMs, I have not had one single "SIM not installed" message. I used to get them all the time, especially with one of the thinner SIMs in slot 1 and above all when using the phone in the car (the fully vertical position and the vibrations seemed to have accelerated the SIM slipping out of its slot).
By the way, I never had the SIM slide completely out, but they certainly are not gripped sufficiently in place and slip enough to disconnect.
I had same "sim card 1 not detected" issue.
It worked back when i did soft reboot,.
And no more issue after factory reset
Re @ leftrand earlier on page 1.....
Sorry not been here in a while , but I think this was related to an earlier twrp we used , fixed with the later one I think. So it was a matter of restoring full original bk up,then factory reset then set up again and do another bk up. Keeping original bk up just in case . That was a while back now and should be fixed
facing same problem... only after updating ota. always.. sim 1 is not detected...

That no way to have a sim 1 working thru TWRP back up after flashing the CM13. What I did was doing a clean flash with SuperZen - 2.20.40.156 Full.
The problem was solve. then I flash back my back up TWRP. The phone now work like a charm.

I got it fixed bro! the phone does not like the Nano sim cards in the adapter. I happend to find an old GCI micro sim and had them activate it. works great now.
ok i found a solution. i read a earlier reply saying you cannot assess sim 1 whilst using a recovery back up flashed. i was currently using cm13 nightlys and this morning i flashed paranoid 5.1 or so.... i wanted to go back and compare the two but what i did was restore it from a backup.... so what you should do is when wanting to change roms, KEEP THE ZIP FILES THAT YOU USE TO FLASH THE ROMS WITH!!!!!!!!!!!! im still asking you to back up roms (preferably system before you flash) just so you dont hard brick it.
bottom line is back up rom, but keep zip files for when you want to change between roms. hope i can help
I have this problem, compounded by the fact that it seems all Android 6.0 (or possibly all CM based ROMs for the ZenFone?) have an issue where losing cell signal in a dead zone permanently breaks the radio until the device is rebooted. Even if the SIM is recognized, after going through a no signal area, the signal never gets acquired again and the SIM information lines remain blank or unknown. Trying to refresh the networks or providers list throws an error toast.
