No Connection To Network After Update

Hi Frineds,
Sorry for my poor English.. I have a very strange problem after updating new firmaware on my Arc. When i flash new firmaware, my phone doesn't connect to network. I get an error that "sim card preventing to connect with network". I have tried everything but always get this error with new firmaware. Therefore i am still on .145. I have unlocked bootloader, so i use FlashTool. I have tried Global Generic & Nordic versions of new firmaware.
Am i the only one having this problem? Can someone think of any possible reason for that? Any idea?

+1 I am Spanish and I have a Vodafone mobile

Does anyone know any possible reason? Any suggestion, please?

I updated my bro's Arc with FlashTool & he has not any problem with network.. I used my sim card in his Arc & it worked like a charm. What's wrong with my Arc?

Are you preserving your data on flashing? If so that might be the reason.

No, data wiped But Thanks Harfot you tried to help me out

I was also having trouble with flashing as follows,
After flashing (not wiping user data) generic 4.0.A.2.368 followed by DooMKernel v02 the hole lot was working - not very well but working. Problem was I was not able to install neither BusyBox nor APP2SD.
This was followed by 2 more tries flashing but it never worked but I was shure it could work.
So I flashed the original 3.0.A.2.181, used GingerBreak to root and installed BusyBox. It worked.
Then I again flashed generic 4.0.A.2.368 followed by actual DooMKernel. It worked and BusyBox was still working. Then I installed APP2SD and on reboot that part worked also. At last I restored my user apps with Titanium and the were all moved to the new ext3 partion on the SD card.
Later I have flashed the latest two DooMKernels without any problems.
It might be worth for you to try reflashing.

Reflashing the firmware should solve your problem.

Thanks Harfot & Xtacy! i have actually reflashed my phone multiple times.
1) First Global Generic with FlashTool..
2) Tried Again Global Generic with Flashtool (Without Sim Card in Mobile)
3) Tried WotanServer & flashed Nordic version..
4) Re-locked bootloader & flashed again Global Generic
5) Flashed Nordic Telia version
6) Re-locked bootloader again & changed customization number to Telia Sweden & flashed through SEUS
7) Falshed UK Generic
And result is the same: No network connection

Do you have the possibility to try with another SIM card?

I relocked bootloader today & flashed phone through SEUS first. When i started phone, i got network connection but after just 5 minutes disconnected again & nothing helped. I repaired phone with PC Companion but result is the same..
When i say network connection, i mean GSM Connection.. I can't get GSM connection & therefore can't call someone or send sms..
@Harfot: First i used my SIM in my bro's Arc which is on newest firmaware, I got GSM connection on his Arc with my Sim card.. (Nothing wrong with my sim?)
Then i used his sim card (it was from another operator) in my flashed Arc (on .368) & didn't get any problem, got GSM connection :-/ Now i am confused. My sim card & my phone don't like each other or what?

Well, now I am puzzled too.
Try cleaning contacts in phone and suface of sim (no liquid). Try pressing sim card firmly when booting phone.

The solution for me was to change the SIM

@Harfot: Thanks, I'll try again tonight & will follow your suggestion
@neoduende: Thanks, I have actually ordered my service provider to send a new sim card

[Q] SIM card not recognized...

I've just installed Arconium ICS Rom (Stock ICS beta kernel with CWM 5.5.0.4 Kernel) in a .64 baseband... Everything works fine, except my SIM card is not recognized. Any ideas? Thank you guys.

Hi
Same thing happend to me but I was downgrading my phone to .42.
My phone was locked to my carrier.
When I got the simlock down it was perfect, the sim card was recognized again.
Maybe this id the solution.

URGENT!!! No SIMCARD detected

Hi everyone,
I have a Xperia Arc (LT15i), and I have a problem. Since yesterday, my phone didn't recognize any SIMCARD. It's locked to Vodafone Spain and BL is locked too.
I saw that my Xperia Arc doesn't boot...and I've flashed FIX Fota Bricked Pack for unlocked Bootloaders...and my Bootloader is locked...since this...No SIM Card detected...and no signal...incl one SIM for Vodafone SPAIN.
Any solution????
If I downgrade from ICS to GB with Flashtool it's possible to fix this problem...or what else???? Any ROM for fix this problem??? PC Companion and SEUS said me that my software is up 2 date...and didn't repair...
Thank you in advance! PLZ Help Me! For me it's a BIG BIG problem! I don't have phone!!!....

Try flashing a stock ROM using the flashtool and report back.

From the stickys in general, and I would go with ICS.

I've flashed various ICS stock ROMS...and the problem is the same...Insert SIMCard and restart the phone...
I've used Flashtool 0.9...is there any problem with this version?
Please...any solution? Is my phone dead?

Today I've used SEUS to Update from GB to ICS...and the problem is the same. Still saying...No SIMCARD detected, only emergency calls...or...insert SIM CARD and restart the phone...
What can i do?

Have you taken it out and give it a wipe?
Sent from my Phone.

What???? Sorry but I don''t understand you....

Have you taken the sim card out of the Phone?
Sent from my Phone.

Yes...
And the result is the same...SIM CARD not detected, only emergency calls.
Any solution???

Maybe try put another sim card into your phone and/or your sim card into another phone to test.

I put the SIM on another phone...and SIM seems to be functionally!!! But the same SIM in Xperia Arc nope!
I'll tried anothers SIMS in arc and the result is the same...

After reading many webs...I believe that I found the solution...
Just in this forum...there is a thread with No sim card detected and Emergency Calls...after many tries...solution is Omnius Server and Unlock by certificate replacement. I bought a Single Android License Unlock...tonight I'll try this...if it's resolves my problem, xperia arc will be my phone...if not...BRICK ARC WITH MY HANDS!!! Muahahahahahahaha...
Post results tonight!

hello!
I've got the same problem as you but with my xperia play R800i.
I unlocked it with omnius. I bought a Single Android License Unlock.
Now, it doesn't recognise the sim card.
Could you tell me if you have solved your problem.
Sorry I'm french I don't speak english very well.

All OK!!!! Successfully my Xperia Arc is fully functional...
I bought a Single Android License Unlock from a reseller of Omnius Server in Spain. Only I Need is download Omnius client, connect TestPoint (Clip to bridge 2 GND in Xperia Arc...i don't know on Xperia Play, see testpoint tutorials or Omnius Help!)...then...Network Unlock by certificate replacement...3 seconds left...Power On Xperia Arc...and...
You Hou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
SIMLOCK removed, SIM CARD Reconigzed and the best BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED!!!!! Muahahahahaaahahahaha...
And that's all!
My best 22 € inverted!

[Q] Xperia ARC "No Service" error on TMN Portugal

Hello guys,
I have a problem with my Xperia Arc that I cannot find the answer on the forums.
My ARC is originally from MOVISTAR Spain and, after unlocking has been working great with VODAFONE Portugal.
Now I´m changing to TMN and that´s where the problems started. I´ve keept the same number (91) and therefore I went trough a "Portability" process to TMN. Last Friday the process was completed and my VODAFONE SIM card was disconnected.
TMN delivered me a SIM card to exchange. As soon as I did it the phone recognizes the SIM card, I put the PIN number and apparently all is OK.
But, there´s no network signal, and I cant make or receive phone calls or SMS. Everytime I try to call it says "Out of service area". This SIM card works normaly on my wifes LG Optimus Black.
My phone works at 100% with VODAFONE SIM cards and doesn´t work with TMN SIM cards. Despite it´s unlocked I´ve unlocked again the bootloader via Wontanserver. No sucess!
Strange thing though... I have 3G internet signal and I can navigate the web. Cant make phone calls or send SMS!!! Please Help!!!
Thanks in advance guys for any contribute.
Gonçalo Santos

When you say you unlocked it do you mean unlocked the bootloader or you also sim unlocked?

Already did! The TMN SIM card works on another phone, not in mine!
On my phone works VODAFONE SIM cards (tried various) and the TMN SIM only works for 3G internet connection, not phone calls or SMS...

HELP
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've read somewhere that this was fixed in another case by putting an unlock code.
Do you know if this can solve my problem? If so, where/how can I get this "unlock code"?
Thanks again.

wontanserver server removes both sim and bootloadel lock, there`s no question there. now, since you have an unlocked bootloader, why don`t you try and flash kernel again ? or try and flash the stock rom, maybe you have some MOVISTAR crap and somehow block your calls, though i doubt that ...

Thanks for your reply. I've already reinstaled the ICS latest update trough PC companion, which "cleaned" my data. And... no luck there.
Does this process equals flashing kernel or stock rom? If so, I can always flash a diferent rom or kernel, do you recomend that?
Thanks for your help m8. I'm really in a jam...

except from vodafone sim cards, is there another sim that work ? are you positive you`ve made the right steps when you unlocked you`re bootloader ? try other sim, except form vodafone or TMN, make sure you don`t have some kind of network lock.

Yes, all sim cards work great with TMN sim cards as exceptions. I've tried old and new TMN sim cards. No luck! 3G signal for internet but no service for calls or SMS.
I´ve ordered a CHECKMEND report to see if my IMEI could be blocked/blacklisted by TMN and it came out with 0 problems!
Have tried ti change baseband, kernel and ROM, unlocked via WONTAN and... nothing! Now I'm back to stock ICS and stuck with the same issue... :crying:
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Do you resolve this issue? Mine is happening excatly the same thing. Nothing seems to work @Gsantoz

[Q] [SOLVED] Sim lock or sim card problem ?

Hi !
I just started to play with a Wildfire S sim locked by Orange (Cid : ORANG202).
I unlocked it (but it's still S-ON) and flashed successfully several custom roms (Marvellous CM10, CyanogenMod 10.1, AceOne 2.2).
Then I installed a Free Mobile's sim card. The phone only asked me for the sim card code pin, it was accepted, it but I had no network at all. Note that this sim card works in another phone.
I thought it was a simlock problem, that's why I asked Orange for the unlock code, they gave it to me but ...
My problem now is that the phone NEVER asked me for a network unlock code. I have no network. Some roms display a red cross on the sim card icon on the top bar.
Does someone know what's going wrong ?

I finally got it working after flashing nearly stock rom. The phone finally asked me for a network unlock code !
Thank you for your help guys :silly:
