Help!
I was rooted 4.1.1 and flashed latest 4.1.2 Czech stock ROM via Mobile ODIN. Everything seemed to went fine except, wifi seems to work, but I have no SIM detected. I tried pulling the battery out but no go. What went wrong?
Any help appreciated!!!

Did you try to pull SIM out? Use different SIM to test.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
I didn't since it is pretty hard to take it out being micro SIM, and I have no other micro SIM to test (only normal sized mini SIM). I didn't open the phone or done anything to the SIM so I have no reason to suspect it being moved or such. Probably something to do with EFS folder from what I read.
When I dial *#06# it says nul/nul (should display IMEI).
PLZ Help!!!!

Does your sim card come out when you pull the battery?
Nope, I don't have custom recovery because of triangle !#[email protected]!
I noticed another thing, it reports Baseband: unknown
I've had the same thing, flashed new custom recovery version and ended up with broken sim-card...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161590
We just went to a service center of our telecom operator to change the sim-card and the new one works fine.
I tested the original if it could be broken by using another sim-card, just to be sure, but it was true what i expected
How can flashing software affect the sim-card that seems hardware to me...?
Is there any possibility that the sim-card gets wiped or something?
No, it doesn't seem to be SIM card - I can't try another card in my Note II because it is the only phone I have with MICRO card. But my card from Note II works just fine in old Sony-Ericsson....
BTW, took the SIM card out and back and still no go. It has no BASEBAND.
I wonder... when I bought the phone, it's 1st language was GERMAN. It could be german import. It wasn't CZECH. Now I've flashed Czech ROM. Could that have any impact?
Managed to "repair" it. Just flashed the SAME ROM with Odin from PC, and my IMEI reappeared.... HAPPY!!!
Thanx 4 help!
Make efs backup.

hi
I have a very annoying problem whit the sim slot 1 (i currently test the slot 2)
Very often, the phone tell me "Sim card not detected", and i have to open the phone, dismount the card and put in again.. until the next time.. like i said, it's occurs very often, 10-15 a day..
Even when the phone is on the table without touching it..
I have rooting it and thats it.. 2.19.40.22
I would like to know if someone have similar problems before i try to reflash whit older stock rom??!
It happened to me briefly- After flashing my first full back -up back to the fone --then i did a factory reset and this fixed the sim slot problem

Hi, I think i have the same problem after testing the Cyanogen build for ZE551ML. Have you did a factory reset from recovery (wipe data, cache and dalvik) or a full stock rom flash ?
Thanks
Above, I was referring to the full 5gb asus ROM back up I made immediately after unlocking bootloader installing twrp and rooting, I installed svn ROM and backed that up too..stripped svn ROM further..backed that up too. Then went about trying my Asus full original...sim 2 was only detected..so did a factory reset and sim came back.
To get sim recognised in CM,I had to wipe usual..install..set up...and factory reset it...hope that clears it up a bit lol

Oh,try a reboot after factory reset..I forgot to put in description above
Guys can you check your sim holder lock . I mean when you put the sim in holder check if it is properly fitted. Issue is some SIM cards are thinner than normal and sim holder unable to grip it. I faced same issue.
Also recommend using ASUS ZenUI app called ASUS Support. There are several helpful tips with basic troubleshooting techniques for your device including including SIM card troubleshooting. Please go to Apps/ASUS Support/Assistance/SIM Card/Sim card not detected

Sim Card not detected
Hey guys,
I am having a similar issue. I have 2 Sims, AT&T and GCI (local carrier). AT&T Sim works in both Slot 1 & 2, and GCI Sim works in slot 2 only. The AT&T sim is a standard MicroSim and the GCI sim is a Tri-Cut sim, so basically a NanoSim in a Micro Adapter.
Sometimes when the GCI Sim is in slot 1, it will recognize for a couple seconds then go gray..

I to am having the same issue. By chance did you solve the issue? I love my Zenfone 2, but am frustrated by not being able to use 3G. I've tried a few differant methods to fix it. No luck yet.
Please if you have a fix let me know. reply here, or email me at bupbup777 at gmail.
I really hope someone knows a fix.

I subscribe to the "theory" that some SIM cards are thinner than others and they drop out of slot 1.
In fact, I have 3 SIM cards and they range in thickness by around 0.5mm according to my cheap chinese mircometer. I don't believe that it is coincidence that the thinner ones lose SIM detection more than the thicker ones.
Also it is no coincidence that slot 2 doesn't lose detection becuase the SIMs don't slide upwards out of slot 2, but they do slide downwards out of slot 1.
Do this experiment: Put a SIM in each slot, now place a 3rd SIM in the space between the two. You will notice that it sits easily in the gap between the two installed SIMs with a bit of free play. Put the back cover back on and use the phone normally for a while (a day or two). Now take off the phone back and tip the phone over, does the "third" SIM fall on the floor, or has it been gripped by the SIM in slot 1 as it has gradually slid out of its slot?
Since I put one layer of sellotape on the back of all my SIMs, I have not had one single "SIM not installed" message. I used to get them all the time, especially with one of the thinner SIMs in slot 1 and above all when using the phone in the car (the fully vertical position and the vibrations seemed to have accelerated the SIM slipping out of its slot).
By the way, I never had the SIM slide completely out, but they certainly are not gripped sufficiently in place and slip enough to disconnect.
I had same "sim card 1 not detected" issue.
It worked back when i did soft reboot,.
And no more issue after factory reset
Re @ leftrand earlier on page 1.....
Sorry not been here in a while , but I think this was related to an earlier twrp we used , fixed with the later one I think. So it was a matter of restoring full original bk up,then factory reset then set up again and do another bk up. Keeping original bk up just in case . That was a while back now and should be fixed
facing same problem... only after updating ota. always.. sim 1 is not detected...

That no way to have a sim 1 working thru TWRP back up after flashing the CM13. What I did was doing a clean flash with SuperZen - 2.20.40.156 Full.
The problem was solve. then I flash back my back up TWRP. The phone now work like a charm.

I got it fixed bro! the phone does not like the Nano sim cards in the adapter. I happend to find an old GCI micro sim and had them activate it. works great now.
ok i found a solution. i read a earlier reply saying you cannot assess sim 1 whilst using a recovery back up flashed. i was currently using cm13 nightlys and this morning i flashed paranoid 5.1 or so.... i wanted to go back and compare the two but what i did was restore it from a backup.... so what you should do is when wanting to change roms, KEEP THE ZIP FILES THAT YOU USE TO FLASH THE ROMS WITH!!!!!!!!!!!! im still asking you to back up roms (preferably system before you flash) just so you dont hard brick it.
bottom line is back up rom, but keep zip files for when you want to change between roms. hope i can help
I have this problem, compounded by the fact that it seems all Android 6.0 (or possibly all CM based ROMs for the ZenFone?) have an issue where losing cell signal in a dead zone permanently breaks the radio until the device is rebooted. Even if the SIM is recognized, after going through a no signal area, the signal never gets acquired again and the SIM information lines remain blank or unknown. Trying to refresh the networks or providers list throws an error toast.
From day 1 I had an intermittent problem where the phone says sim card not installed. When I reboot the sim card shows again. This happens every few weeks or so
I only use 1 sim/sim slot 1.. Straight talk
Anyone else experience this? Thanks xda community
Next time it does I'll cap a screenshot
Are you running a custom rom or have you restored your rom from backup. The problem occurs often when restoring from backup with twrp not compiled for x86
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using Tapatalk
I'm completely stock on latest firmware. No backups or restores. No unlock or root
This problem is due to Sim size issue. Some of the sim's are not getting locked inside sim slot. Check if your sim is fitted correctly and should not slip out. I faced simillar issue , what I did was used 2 old sims i had ,put one in slot 2 and other between slot 1 and 2. It kept sim 1 fixed and i never faced the issue again.
Agreed with his answer
Will give this a shot. Thank you
I purchased a Verizon Note 4 N910V.05 off eBay.
When I got it, it had a custom ROM (didn't mention Verizon anywhere except for the logo on the back) and it worked fine with whatever SIM card I threw at it. At that time it was running Android 4.X
With time my phone started to get laggy and buggy, so I decided to reset to factory, and while I was at it, I decided to update to the most current official android version available to the phone: Android 6.0.1
Now, the phone won't use SIM cards I put it in it. It demands a Verizon one.
I read somewhere that I could just put one in, remove it, and then the phone should work fine with different carrier's SIM card. I tried but that didn't resolve my issue.
I also tried downgrading to previous android versions, hoping to root or do something -but no joy.
The phone shows the 4G notification and it receives (but not send) text messages -it doesn't send or receive phone calls -or data. I know the hardware is capable, because up until I updated to Android 6.0.1, it was working.
Does anyone know of a tried and true solution to getting this phone working again? Should I be trying to install a different ROM that's not for Verizon? Should I be trying to do something else? I'd really like to get my phone working again.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Hi, I have installed Pie update on my Mi A2 Lite however due to amount of the bugs I got back to Oreo V9.6.10.0.ODLMIFF. Since that time my SIM cards got swapped - SIM tray 1 is visible in settings as SIM 2 and vice versa. What is more annoying whenever I insert new card while phone is on, it does not auto detect that SIM has been just inserted and need to reboot phone each time I replace SIM in order to get connected to network. Can anyone help me with fixing this so the SIM ordering is corrected in software and auto detection is back on? Already tried reflashing rom and getting back to Pie but no improvements.
Hi,
