your sim does not allow connection when i switch to GSM(2g) but WCDMA(3g) connects - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have carrier/sim unlocked xperia play r800i bought from orange uk mobile, and i have searched through most of the forums and threads available here about this problem and also on google but i did not find a problem similar to which i am facing. Now the problem, my r800i is unable to connect to GSM network (2G), but connects to WCDMA(3G) and i tried a few solutions like flashing the stock firmware, and also factory resetting the phone but still it did not solve the problem, and the other thing is when i switch my network mode to WCDMA(3G) in settings then i get a perfect network connectivity as well as internet also works using my data plan. And yes i have my bootloader also unlocked as well.
The few things i tried from what i found on the internet, there is this code *#*#4636#*#* and using it i tried turning the radio off and on in GSM/WCDMA both but nothing happened and the same problem, then also i reflashed my r800i to uk generic stock firmware with flashtool but that did not help too, after that i used sony pc companion tool to update and repair my phone with software update so it flashed original stock rom into my phone but still nothing, no GSM connectivity but connects to WCDMA with full network signal. I am not doing any flashing anymore until i know now what the real problem is and may be i think it has something to do with some other rom file or simlock file but i also checked SIM lock option by entering this *#*#7378423#*#* as well as the bootloader show unlocked, and in the SIM lock it shows this:
[] Network 0
[] Network subset 0
[] Service provider 0
[] Corporate 0
[] Sim 0
as far as i know my phone is unlocked by what it shows yet no GSM network connectivity, may be something with the baseband but that has never happened before while using the same baseband, i don't have any clues anymore!, can someone please help me, i would really appreciate it and thanks in advance.

3G not working. Please Help.

Hello everybody,
I have a carrier unlocked Xperia Arc. I had flashed .58 firmware, which I had rooted with Zegrush method (bootloader is locked). It was working fine for a few days, then suddenly the 3G stopped working. I am still getting the EDGE (2G) data transfer.
Since my SIM when inserted into my friends Samsung i9003 was giving a good 3G connection and also my friends SIM when inserted into my Xperia Arc was unable to connect through 3G, I thought that the fault was in my Xperia Arc only.
I have
1) Checked APN settings, they are fine. Downloaded and installed them again to be doubly sure.
2) Did a soft reset
3) Did a hard reset
4) Used repair through PC companion
5) flashed .62 firmware with accompanying baseband
6) flashed .42 firmware with accompanying baseband
7) checked network mode. Its WCDMA(preferred)/GSM. On switching to WCDMA, the 3G connection works for a few minutes and then the whole connection drops.
8) I read in some discussion boards that a similar problem arises if the SIM card lock is used but I am not using it.
Is it a hardware defect? Should I unlock the bootloader and flash one of the custom ROMS?
Any other suggestions?
Please help.
Thanking in advance.
call your network provider and say your problem, if they cant solve your problem or says everything is ok then contact sony ericsson repair center.

[Q] Xperia S (LT26) HK - No Sim

Hi,
I have a Sony Xperia S LT26i that was working fine up to a few weeks ago. I have accumulated a lot of junk on the phone and wanted a clear out so I did a master reset. After the phone rebooted, it comes up NO SIM card and the signal bar has a red X on it.
I tried a number of SIMs all with the same problem (and all work in other phones) so decided to contact Sony. They told me that the phone is actually for the hong kong market based on its IMEI and not for sale in the UK, where I am. The phone was brought second hand from eBay (and of course the guy I brought it from isnt responding).
I then decided to flash the UK firmware onto the phone. I always did wonder why English was miles down the language list! That worked just fine, but the same problem.
I then thought I would try a mod rom to see if I could get any more info. Unlocked booted loader and installed cyanogenmod. That all worked, but still no network. If I go to the search network setting it just says "An error occurred searching for networks, try again later".
Service menu -> SIM lock shows
[] network 0
[] network subset 0
[] service provider 0
[] corp 0
[] SIM 0
Can anyone help? Is this some kind of hardware failure and the fact it happened just after a reset purely coincidental or have I inadvertently removed some vodo magic added to the phone to get it working on UK networks from hong kong?
Thanks

OK... Thanks. Any idea on how to resolve that? Or at least find out what network it was originally locked to so I can try and unlock it?

[Q] [HELP] Need Stock ROM Xperia S LT26i Vodafone Australia

Need help. I need Stock ROM Xperia S LT26i Vodafone Australia. I bought my Xperia S outside Australia and has no "network unlock" prompt. I have checked the imei, it is not stolen nor lost. I have tried several generic stock rom in any version (gingerbread, ics, or jellybean) but the network can't be used. Also, I have tried CM10 for Locked Bootloader but still no network.
The sim card slot is good I think, since it cant prompt for sim card pin lock. The antenna is also good I think, if I search network in setting, it can detect some network but no home icon and can't register to any network.
I have checked SERVICE INFO *#*#SERVICE#*#*, on SIM LOCK, on some ROMs it becomes no "X" (just empty all "[]"), and on other ROMs it becomes all "?".
So, the problem is unusable network, and there is no any prompt to enter network unlock code. And I think flashing stock ROM maybe solve the problem.
I am sorry for bad english.

You will need to flash a radio/baseband that matches your cid. Mismatched radio baseband can cause all connectivity to fail. If you don't want to modify your phone, that's your only option. Sorry.

Flash cyanogenmod, do the baseband change again. Switch to automatic. Only cyanogenmod has the automatic network selection option. Stock rom don't have.
This is the only way as I also experienced the same.
problem solve without rooting and flashing

I have a oneplus two and went through the same problem . I read a lot of threads on various sites and found that this question remains unanswered. Very disappointing .I was tinkering just to find something to make my sim work . Fortunately ,I found the fix.Its very easy and a person like me who doesn't even know how to root a phone can solve this problem .
Solution.
Wipe data and cache.
Download the latest stock ROM available and flash it .
Type *#*#4636#*#*. Go in phone information.Open options . Select radio band 40. Just don't select USA.
Download Shortcut Manager lite.
Search engineering mode.(search 'eng')
Scroll down to find
com.android.engineeringmode.network.BandMode
And
com.android.engineeringmode.network.BandMode2.
Find 'Auto' option after opening one of the bandmodes.
The sim should start working.
If the sim doesn't start working , change band and reselect Auto . This should do.
PS. If u don't have any other radio band than USA then try these repairs on USA band . Hope it works. If this works please share this info on other sites and help people.
Cheers !
Anyone found any solution, I am facing same problem after changing radio band from phone test menu.

Have you touched anything inside your fsg partition? Same thing happened to me when I tried to enable the second SIM of my phone and messed with the files inside that partition.
Also, put your phone in fastboot mode and check if under the bootloader version it says Baseband: null
I have updated all apps including carrier services but no help and i haven't change any partition or any kind of changes and in files in last 2 days I have tried to update Oreo but after update problem not solved then I downgrade to nougat after that same no network then downgraded to marshmallow but not success same no network IMEI is perfect baseband is perfect only showing mobile radio power off otherwise everything perfect WiFi Bluetooth mods everything is this any hardware problem bcoz I have changed my display and when pack device thereafter no network
