Hi guys, last week, my HOX out of warranty, suddendly decided to stop reading any sim card. I've tried different methods that I've found on XDA but none of them worked (disassembly, reset, other roms, other sim). Actually it worked in 2g for a couple of hours and then it stopped every sim related connection. Now I sadly use my HOX as an ipod touch and a nokia c5 which hasn't got wifi as normal phone. It would be very useful for me if I could use whatsapp on both devices at the same time with only my phone number (c5 with sim card and HOX under WIFI). I've googled the problem and the only solution I've found wants mac adress of the phone with whatsapp and sim but my c5 hasn't got it as it has no wlan card. Any ideas about my problem? Solving the sim problem would be accepted too .
To use whatsapp you need sim in your HOX Go to some private service..^^

Update: now, if I put a sim in, everything works for about 2 minutes and then no signal again. I've reflashed radio with ril but no luck.
Need for an advice
Phone arrived yesterday for my partner and after a lot of fun and laughs with the the update bootlloop ,it just gets better.
After fastbooting latest Elephone rom from Needrom,everything works well except I can't phone.Put in my Virgin T-Mobile sim ,not detected,so cut down a nearly year old Asda freebie mini sim from EE,still not seen.Both working well in My Doogee Dagger 550.Have heard some having problems with Virgin, but this phone should be ok .
Thinking of trying another rom ,tried Eragons did not put a sim card in, but thought partner would prefer more vanilla rom.
Any help please as partner going through a very trying time at mo,mum not well.
Any help please,never seen this before,just blank in both sim holders when sim card inserted .Presume even if wrong sim for phone it would show something.
Seems it may be hardware?
Wow problem solved ,reflashed rom again ,still not there read about disabling all added apps and on power on jab volume down button and sim know seen .
Relieved an understatement,and now to bo bos well after drinky poos.

Hi morrig. Please can you be more specific in your steps here? How do you disable all apps and in particular, at which point do you 'jab power down'? All I get is the Chinese recovery bit :/
I have successfully managed to revive my phone using the '909' ROM but like you and many others, my SIM isn't being detected in either slot.
It's a frigging shame really. The P8000 is a great phone in my opinion let down by shoddy developers and lousy customer service. I hope Elephone get it sorted soon.
Cheers

Have'nt a clue why it worked initialy,lost sims again.
Only work round was to flash Elephone rom 7/25 which has the right kernel to support sim,then flashed recovery and intalled Eragon rom.
Then found yesterday morning that after on charge all night battery nearly flat,partner(whose phone it is) was spitting blood.
Problem fixed by wiping cache,then charged well.
Cracking hardware and value,rubbish software, thankfully being solved by great developers.

I'll give 7/25 a crack and see how I get on. I'm not doing so well at the moment but still hopeful.
Cheers morrig
Out of curiosity, assuming you're using Windows, which version are you using?

EXCELLENT! Cheers morrig! 7/25 does indeed return the use and detection of sim. Thanks very much :good:
That;s weird.. I have a similar issue.
Been trying out a bunch of ROMs - well, Nexus and Eragon and Stock.
Nexus won't detect my SIMs at all and the other 2 detect them but can't make a call (can send a text oddly enough... not receive though).
Something to do with IMEI not being picked up.
I flashed 7/25 using SP Tools but no joy.
I did use:
http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-3088-1-1.html#.VksvG_nhCHs
.. that to manually put the IMEI in but it's a bit odd.
Just gonna try Eragon 6.1/Philz and that weird IMEI 'fix' and see if it works.
It'd be nice if I could just stick the Nexus ROM on and everything worked...

Great danes,you buy a smartphone to use mainly as a phone and without it working its nearly useless.
Did you use Win 7 to flash ,very easy to install MTK drivers ,tried everything on Win 10,did the restart with digital signing,noticed that on Win 7 had two digital signing yes or no yet only one in Win 10.Think thats why couldn't get Win 10 to install drivers properly ,yet others have,maybe because I'm on build 10586?

I used the rom on Needrom,no problems and never bother using nvram backup on install of new rom on my DG550 or the Elephone.
http://www.needrom.com/download/p8000/
Just to add don't try Eragon 6.1 its beta and some have sim problems ,use 5.9.2,that's the one that works.
Yeah, I've installed 5.9.2 now.
Basically, I put in the IMEI manually, used *#*#4636#*#* to enable the radio and the 4G works now. I can make and receive calls.
However, I can't RECEIVE texts (standard SMS). I can send them but not receive.
Why do you think that would be?

Hello XDA,
im using the mentioned lg phone . have change its battery from store. it was running fine.
from few weaks it is getting overheated
as i place my sim to primary slot it get overheated and display a message (PLEASE RESTART YOUR PHONE SIM PROBLEM ALSO MY NETWORK ARE GONE THERE IS ONLY EMERGENCY CALL OPTION.
AND THERE AFTER IT GOES LIKE THIS ONLY UNTIL GET STABLE. AND SOME TIME IT WORK ALL FINE UNTIL WARMED UP WHEN ON MY INTERNET. WHILE OPENING INTERNET IT AGAIN START HEATING
WHERE AS WHEN I PUT SIM IN SECONDARY SLOT IT WORK FINE.
PLEASE HEP ME AS IM FEED UP WITH LG PHONE
REGARDS
SIM
If there is any bug problem or rom problem please let me know as im using marshmallow.
I own a Mi Max Helium and from the first day I use it with open bootloader and Custom Roms.
After 4 Weeks of using the strange things began:
- I lost network sometimes, but most of the times it was back in seconds. (once or twice a day)
- then randomly the MiMax said there is no sim card installed. Ok reboot phone and everything was okay. (once or twice a day)
- then it happened every hour
- and then sometimes after some hours or some minutes - not replicatable
- as a last step rebooting the phone doesn´t help. I have to kick out the Sim, wait some seconds and put it in again
Ok I thought it was a fault with the custom roms.
Made a real big factory reset with mi flash tool and cleaned the whole phone like a new device after the delivery.
After the first reboot it wasn´t able to find any simcard (IMEI und EFS was okay), so I thought phone or SimCard has a defect.
Took a simcard from my girlfriend - everything was working fine. Took my simcard in the MiMax and curiously everything was working fine
Flashed Xenon HD Custom Rom and everything worked well the last 4 Weeks and now the whole Sh*t begins again in the same way like described above.
Wtf is that behaviour? Can anybody report similar things?
Using SIM-Slot 1 or SIM-Slot 2 makes no difference. Its not logical or reproducible for me
T-Mobile? There has been reports not only fo Mi Max but One Plus X and some other Chinese brands killing particular tipes of T-Mobile sim cards by constantly trying to write on them. Sounds exactly what you are describing.
Solution is call T-Mobile, they know the issue and should replace sim card with the right tipe.

Interesting. No I´m using a german multiple provider called 1&1 and they use Vodafone D2 Network here.
They also use Telefonica (ePlus & O2), but the reason for that behaviour could be the same. I will call my provider and hope the know similar cases.
Thanks for the advice so far :good:
Well I share you problem I am.from Chile and this started to happen after updating to official ROM 8.2.3.0
I tried for months to find a fix but in the end I've noticed in my country all operators started using 4g band 28 (700mhz aggregation) band is not compatible with my Max prime (helium)
This doesn't explain why the card is lost until rebooting the Phone though.
A good thing is to set auto turn off in security app at 7:00am then enable auto turn on at 7:10 am this way your phone will work in the morning and not lose any important phone calls.

Do you have any similar symptoms? Can you search for networks manually? I can't

Try cleaning the sim card with acetone.
