Hi
I bought a cheap motherboard the other day to try fix a old HTC one x I had thought I would give it to one of the kids. It installed ok and the phone booted up great but it can't find any mobile network at all if I put a SIM in it says preparing SIM but that it. If I go to setting and try to search for any network it just comes up with a error message. Also noticed the motherboard as been rooted and installed a Rom called Venom

Hi,
My Artemis is got a strange problem
Its from O2 - Orbit called...
When I'm inserting Orange, Vodafone sim cards I get the error - Sim invalid - fine.. that's means is locked
With O2 is searching for a network but is searching for ever...can't find anything.. when I'm going in Network settings and select manual is saying something about Cannot read setting from network...
With Virgin/Tmobile sim card is finding OK the network and connecting to it but cannot make any phone calls or receive.....
Has anyone had a similar problem? I have tried to send it back to O2 but said they will send me send me a new one... they sent it but I never got it... it got lost in post etc... they didn't ask me to send the faulty one first... I contacted them a lot of times but they don't want to send me another one so I'm stuck with this faulty one.. I have reinstalled windows mobile 5 then upgraded to 6 but I have the same problem...
Did you try out the simcard in another device/phone? If it still fails then just ask for a new one.
yes I tried that sim card and works fine in another phone
also I tried lots of simcards in the xda but none works
I do have somewhat a similar problem. I am using an O2 SIM card on the orbit. A number of times the phone keeps looking for the network. Initially I used to wonder whethe rthe signal is weak - but if I soft reset it (and sometimes takes a couple of times), it finds the network (all bars in the signal) and works OK.
I have changed roms and it hasnt helped.
Since both of you are using the O2 Orbit I guess it must be something with the device. Any chance of finding out when your devices were manufactured?
i have the same problem with htc p3300 - have got signal with some of my sims, but can't make a call - what coul this be? I have 2 devices with these faults!!!
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem on my XDA orbit. O2 and orange sims, just keeps searching for a network with vodafone and t-mobile getting a signal but not allowing calls.
I thought that the phone was locked so I used the IMEI-check web site to download the unlock codes etc. This appeared to run normally, but made no difference to the operation of the phone.
I've done hard and soft re-sets but these make no difference either. The device has rom 3.4.206.2WWE (dated 4/18/07) installed on it and I would need some advice on what to change it to and how to change it.
Thanks for any help that anyone can come up with.
Blocked?
Try updating\upgrading radio ROM. If that does not work then I can only think that the phones have been blocked\barred by the network provider. Try calling them and asking them.
I have been informed that if your orbit is still on contract then it is still under warranty even if it is 2+ years old.
Hi
Just got my new Samsung Galaxy Nexus today, but it cant find a network and have no signal.
I have tried to search for network in settings, but it comes up empty.
In the "about phone" page under signal it says -113db and 0 asu (varies a little bit, but not much)
I'm in Norway using OneCall, on the Telenor network, but the phone cant find any network.
The simcard works fine in other android devices.
The phone was sold as unlocked/simfree.
It says "onecall" on the bottom of the notification bar when I pull it down.
There are also apn settings for my simcard (looks like they are read from the simcard)
Wifi works great, and I can't see any other problems than that it cant find a network, but that is kind of a big problem since it is a phone!
I have rebooted multiple times, three factory resets, and tried with another simcard, but no luck.
Anyone have a idea what to try? should I try a custom rom? or do you think its a hardware problem?
I just saw "Telenor" when I searched for networks, but when I tried to connect it said it couldn't connect, and now I cant find it again.
Seems like I just have the worst possible antenna! (or radio?)
What type of phone did you have previously? Maybe you need an updated SIM card?
A new SIM card has solved this type of issue for quite a few people so give it a shot!

But it works in other phones like the HTC Desire and the old Hero.
I just drove into town, and I got a few bars, could make phone calls and so on.
But back home it still cant find a network.
Which leaves me to believe that the antenna (or the radio) is bad.
Do I have to root it and install a custom recovery to install the stock rom again?
Or is there a "rescue" solution? like on HTC devices.
Works fine here. Test a custom rom or another radio or something.. If it not works go back to stock and return it. I bought a HTC once with a bad antenna.
same problem
what did you end up doing kjetil84? I have the same problem. at home I have like no signal, but other places I have a litle. I use Talkmore witch also uses telenor.
an update would be great
That happened to me once before, try doing a factory reset.
still a problem
Just tried a factory reset, and it did not help
I love the phone, but at this time its not usable for me
hey, new to the site and new to the wildfire and im already having a few problems.
i just bought mines off my uncle, who always used it on o2-ire without any problems. he never used any uk simcard because he thought the fone was locked.
i tried my simcard and it says "your simcard does not allow connect to this network" or "error while searching for network". as it wouldnt find a network i figured it was locked, so i went and bought an unlock code.
problem is, i cant find where to put it. i turn the fone on with a simcard (ive tried a few on different networks), and it never asks me for the code, yet it still cant find a network.
ive tried my girlfriends mothers o2-ireland and that still works.
just wondering why it works for o2-ireland and not on my o2-uk or vodafone-uk and doesnt ask for the network unlock code.
sorry if this seems jumbled and rambeling, im just trying to explain everything.
thanks in advance for any help.
Get a different carrier similar card. Not the ones you have been using. Put it in and boot the phone, it should come up with a screen telling you to input the code to unlock. Some Sims just don't give you the screen
Try a 3 sim if you can.

crap, everyone i know is o2. ill ask about, ill see if someone has a different sim network, i think my girlfriends sister is vodafone-ireland, i could try that and see. thanks for the fast reply, ill give it a shot
Hello everyone!
i just got my HTC One X last night.
This morning i got a new sim from T-Mobile and popped it in.
Everything was well except for the data. When I go to access point name menu it says sim card not detected but i can make calls and text.
I don't know what's wrong. I'm am running NRGZ rom if that helps. Yet to try it with the stock rom. I'm running it on the T-Mobile US network.
I tried rebooting and re flashing, but it still isn't detecting the sim card in the access point names menu.
I have no idea what to do.
Whenever i enter the T-Mobile APN settings, it does not save. it says APN Saved, but it does not show up in the list.
Thanks in advance for any help
So i was browsing through the Q and A here
and i found this link

I have been experiencing the exact same issue.
Yesterday I went to T-Mobile store and picked up a micro-SIM. Tried programming the APN by hand but had the same results as you described.
When I interacted with T-Mobile support last night, they tried to send in a message that supposedly would auto-configure the phone, but the message never arrived.
I got in touch with the ebay reseller, who suggested that the phone does not work on 1700MHz network provided by T-Mobile. I think it's not exact that, it has to do with the SIM itself.
I will pester T-Mobile store clerk tomorrow and post you results.
Guys, you have to fully read these threads. This issue has been discussed over several threads now.
The current micro SIM cards provided by T Mobile do not play nice with our One X. You have to search the retail stores for a non GBA micro SIM. The non GBA micro SIM cards allow for voice and data and your One X will auto configure.
The newer micro SIMs from T Mobile will only allow for voice. I don't exactly know why that is but that's what it is. Don't bother calling customer care as they cannot order the older/non GBA micro SIM for you. You have to call the physical stores and ask.
Also, you will currently only get 2g data until T Mobile USA switches 3g data to the 1900 MHz band in your area.
Good luck with your search!

Dude, you quoted a thread that I started, and you posted on that thread and I gave you a reply there and now here.
Take the time to read the post. Some of us may be going through what you are going through and are willing to share advice and experiences that may help you but you have to read the post/reply's.
Good luck with your One X.
Hello. I've read many threads like this but didn't find a solution for my problem, so I start a new one, my first thread.
I've bought a Note II (N7100) international version months ago and suddenly I got the message "not registered on network", "no sim", can't access to mobile networks and so on. Further, it is impossible to access to settings>more settings>mobile networks> "INSERT SIM CARD TO ACCESS NETWORK SERVICES". For a better knowledge I found a video on youtube it explains the exact issue I'm suffering.
I got this error when I was on stock rom, so in order to fix it, I thought it was the modem, so I rooted it, installed the criskelo rom v.17 and v 18 and didn't worked. Then I installed the file "modem.tar.md5" and no results. When I try to flash that file trough odin I got a message "removed" and then the phone reboot before the "pass" message.
I have tried my sim card on a S3 and it works, have tried the s3 sim card on my note 2 and it works too. It is like my phone does not match my own sim. When I went to the carrier they tried another sim and it works on my device. I have bought a new sim card and it DOES NOT WORK. I think it's a software issue because the phone worked with other sim cards. It is quite frustrating 'cause I have this issue for about 5 months and no solution come to me. I'm consider the hammer test for my Note II if I don't fix it during this month. Can't sell it, rent, borrow or give away because the phone DOESN'T WORK AS A PHONE.
Please, some kind soul, HELP ME!!!
Sounds like a hardware issue with the SIM card reader in your phone, not making a good contact with the first SIM.
Can't you just get the first SIM replaced?
Indeed, I thought it was the sim reader so I changed it, didnt worked. As I said the phone read some sim cards so I think its not a hardware issue. Please check the vídeo I left. Thank you for your response.
