Hello,
I have a couple problems. I've just recently purchased a Rogers s621 and unlocked it and upgraded the ROM. I have a 1gb micro sd and when I try to access it its not even recognized. Like its not there. Anyone ever have problems with it not reading right before? Also when I try to start the camera it says "unable to initialize camera, failed to set up the camera device". I had these problems before I unlocked the phone. Thanks in advance. Also the card is a sandisk

Oh oh...well the thing is that i might not be able to help you out with that in the first place, just wanted to ask you, why u didnt go back to rogers and got it replaced by a working one? since, might be a hardware problem but they may not take it back from you after the unlock and the rom upgrade. cuz you cant really proof whether it had the problem before..dont you think...
Sorry, forgot to put I bought it private. Just seeing if there is a fix or not for it. If not I guess i'll take my lose correct?
Try flashing it again, or flashing with a different ROM image. What have you got to lose?
Well I did that, put wm6 on it and still nothing. It thnks for a sec then nothing. Any other ideas?
Hey..
I just installed Paul's version of the cyanogen mod, which i downloaded from the MoDaCo website, but now my phone isn't working properly.
(android . modaco . com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307607/01-may-5-0-6-test-r1-cyanogenmod-5-for-desire-online-kitchen/)
It boots just fine, but it doesn't recognize that i have a Micro-SD card and a SIM Card installed, and both my phone and my PC do not react when i plug in the USB cable. I have also tried going into recovery mode and run the .bat to get up the menu, but it just says "error: device not found"
Please help me, i am at a loss.
The nex-desire rom on here is based on cm and works just fine. Go with that instead?
I would love to try another ROM, or even just going back to factory settings, but how do i do that when my phone doesn't think that my SD card is installed and i can't connect it to my PC? :/
I have a nandroid backup image on my PC, by the way, if that helps
Boot phone into recovery and flash a different rom update .zip like the nex desire one from here.
i just don't see how i can
1. put a new ROM on my SD card when the USB connection doesn't work
2. get into recovery mode when the adb can't find my device.. i can get to the phone with the red warning triangle on it, but since adb can't find my device i cannot get the menu up
Thanks for replying, though!

I still haven't figured out what to do :-(

To get an new ROM on SD card you can use a card reader.. This will solve half of your problem..
Sorry, I am not a tech person so I don't know how to get adb to recognize in such case..
Try to get Paul's answer in the Modaco Desire forum (you probably already tried).
Oh, one more idea, did you try to perform a factory reset from the settings/privacy menu?
Good luck.

All the stores are closed today, so i will have to wait until tomorrow to try with a card reader, since I don't own a micro-SD to SD adapter..
I tried doing a factory reset, but that just reloaded the cyanogen rom, as i expected..
Thanks for trying to help
Anyone have any other ideas while i wait for the stores to open? :>
EDIT: I just tried plugging in my old SIM Card from my old phone, and I am getting a signal on that.. is the new SIM Card toast?

Thanks for the link, i am reading through it now.. so far i got the SIM and SD cards working again, but still no USB connection, and i lost root too..
Looks like my phone might come alive again!
I have just updated my Desire to what I think was 2.29 following a system software notification. It went through ok, rebooted and said sucessful, however, it will not recognise my SIM, I keep getting "No SIM card in phone error". The SD card is mounted ok, and from what I can see everything else appears to be working.
Info;
Software number;
2.29.405.5
I haven't rooted the phone, messed about with it in ANYway...I have rebooted the phone and reseated the SIM about 10 times now, no change...
Please please is there anything I can do? Am I going to have to factory reset?
thanks

Any ideas?? Sorry I'm completely stuck and won't be able to get hold of T-mobile for days yet....
Try another sim card in the phone, test your sim card in another phone, post back after you have done that as you can see what is at fault.
Arrgh, sorry I was sure I'd typed all that down...
Yes I already have put another SIM in, a pay as you go which also doesn't work. I have tried putting my SIM in another phone and it works fine...so definitly not that.
T-Mobile have no ideas, they hadn't heard of it, they gave me HTC's number but they shut naturally....and will be until Wed at the earliest
Sounds to me as the sim reader on the phone is faulty, you can try pushing on it and holding it and see if that helps, if not you are stick till you can send the phone away for repair, seems odd tho that it happened after the update.......
I have the same problem with my Desire. After the update, it won't recongnize the SIM.
Can you some how re-run the update or do a ruu file update.
I tried with another SIM in my phone and it's working. So is it possible that the update damaged the SIM?

I would not think so, sometimes if you have a older sim it does not work, it looks like you sim card is at fault, phone up your operater and see if you can get a newer one.
Ok then. Thank you for the advices.

The OP's problem maybe because of the new radio that is included in this OTA.
It's a bit strange as this is the first reported issue with a sim that isn't working after an applied OTA (as far as I know).
It's a general rule of the thumb that, if you have a problem occurring right after an OTA, then you should reinstall it. So you might give it a try - download the OTA, and reapply it manually.
Yes the SIM works in another phone. And I hadn't touched the phone after the update, just let it reboot and it failed to recognise.
This is a good idea though, I will try and download the update and install it again.
Am I gonna have to flash the whole phone to do this? From what I've read you can't just apply the small (5mb update) you have to do the big 168mb one? Sorry, n00b at this.
Only the update (5MB).
If you flash the 168MB one you'll lose your data, as it's a complete ROM, not an update.
Edit: The OTA seems to be missing from shipped roms but I've found it over at some german blog and uploaded it here.
Thanks for the info. Ok I manually updated, which went through ok again, but no change
I will have to try factory reset, I just can't see what would stop the SIM being recognised.....
Unless theres anything else you can think of? I will perform hard reset...really don't want to though.
Hoping my phone isn't knackered.
If you were fine before going to the latest update, you could try to revert back by flashing the 2.29.405.2 rom which is in essence the same as the latest. Download this 161MB zip http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
Then rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" (zip is the extension, not part of the name)
Put in in your sd card, without placing it in any folders
Turn off, Turn on holding the volume down key, and you shall be asked to apply it.
This will erase all your data, just like a factory reset.
any luck with this, just done the same on mine NOT rooted and NOT branded Desire on Orange. I can see all the networks when I scan for them but whem I try and connect to one it says 'your SIM card does not allow these services' or something similar
What version did you update to the 405.2 or 405.5?
now running 405.5
Go back to 405.2 if you can seems the 05 update is the problem here.
Please bare with me. I am new to rooting and this site. if this topic may already been answered before, i am sorry
I am using a unrooted Rogers SGS3. After I installed the latest Samsung 4.1.2 update, the phone shows the SD card is damaged, need reformatting. I plug it into computer, all my data are gone. I need a good software to recover some of contents on this SD card
many thanks,

If you're just worrying about pictures I use CardRecovery. It isn't perfect but it has recovered about 80% of my lost pictures. Its designed for cameras specifically but works with all sdcards
There is a recovery pro tool I've seen but it runs $200+

Before you format your SD card try this post. It works for me everytime my phone tells me I have a corrupted SD card. It might fix your issue. Good luck!

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE II GTN7100
Hello!
Ive recently took up a friend's Note II - he told me that a few days back, he sent his phone to a repair shop because he said his phone was infected with a virus. When he got it back - the phone was working fine a few days until one time - the phone suddenly cant detect sim card.
When he asked me - I presumed that the shop might did a reflash and it didnt go well/ not enough pressure on the sim to touch the pins .. etc. I tried every possible methods to solve this:
- Insert a small fold of paper behind the sim
- insert another layer of paper
- insert a thin layer of cardboard piece
- gently cleaned the slot tray
- retried the above methods again
- downloaded stock firmware file from "Updato" (cant download from SamMobile because all the links for my country arent working anymore nor from Samsung Updates since I have a crappy wifi signal and that website only allows one connection)
- I checked Updato's firmware status via Download Mode and Kies - seemed fine? It shows my country and says it;s official.
- Flashed, WIped Cache, Factory Reset, MULTIPLE TIMES.
Oh yeah If you guys are wondering whether I tested it out with other Simcards? I did it with 5 simcards already.
Its pretty Odd isnt it. For the n7100; The sim reader hardware is connected together with the SD Card's. So the SD Card part is working. Why not Sim Reader?
Anyways - I suggested to my pal to just try get a new sparepart from a legit shop (But Non Samsung). He gave me the green light.
-Ordered for Sparepart (Simcard Tray and SD Card Holder Ribbon Flex)
I installed and guess what. Didnt work.
Still "NO SIM" - SD Reader works fine --- Juust like earlier.
-_-
What am I missing here? Could it be the firmware's faulty?
Another thing I noticed which is odd is the IMEI isnt the same as the back of the phone. And when I tried to do emergency reset with Samsung KIES - I wasnt able to because my S/N is incorrect!
Can somebody help?

I dont know about this hardware stuff but did you tried talking to the repair shop where your friend went ?
Or try flashing any previous firmware version.

Its too far. I did flashed it with previous firmware (Stock). By any chance have you heard of Updato? Its supposed to be another site that provides firmwares. I dont know it's status (Trustworthy or not). I couldnt download from the trusted ones (SamMobile / Samsung Updates . org)

Updato can be trusted. (Heard of it many times)
How about flashing any other custom rom such as dn7 or eclipse as these are the most stable ones and your friend will get a taste of note 7 ui.

Well, i have shv-250k ver note2. Today i flashed 2 n7105 version modem. Guess what? I got "no sim inserted" status. Then i flashed back shv250k modem. Signal is back. So maybe u should try flash good modem file for your note2. Give it a try... Hope this help.

it's not a hardware issue, you already tried to flash the firmware but didn't work, try Flashing the latest one for your model (btw there is also this site), and if that didn't fix your IMEI, then I'm afraid you will need fix your EFS partition because it's corrupt, there is a tool here in XDA that might help you, but if you can't use the tool then give it to a technician(recommended), the technician uses Octopus Box to fix it, it's a machine with a software not just a software.
