I'm having a problem unlocking the SIM. I have Incredible 2 unlock by code ( 8 digi)
ON HTC incredible 2
Settings:Security, there is a menu item for "Disable SIM card lock". + enter unlock code
but after enter unlock code , Incredible 2 will reboot
My problem is: After unlocking SIM I try to switch to GSM mode. It says "There is no SIM card on your device. Your device will switch to CDMA mode now". I tried number of working SIMs of other people phones... No success.
Change Simcard ( GSM) , turn on Htc incredible 2 , Settings>Call>Preferred Network>GSM/UMTS Mode always show "There is no SIM card on your device. Your device will switch to CDMA mode now"
I go to Settings - >Security->Disable SIM lock. It says "Sim lock disabled"
I can't make a call , i can't use GSM/UMTS mode ,I'm not in US

No solution ???
Sounds like the SIM isn't compatible. I thought I read somewhere that certain older SIM cards wouldn't work, not sure about that though.
Perhaps you can get a logcat and see what specific error you are getting. When I did this with mine, I saw something like "invalid CID...".
I tested an AT&T SIM card and it worked just fine.

Thanks mattwood2000
but how to get a logcat ?? Tool or use command line logcat in sdk http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/logcat.html
??
I recently got back to the US from France. Before leaving I called support, unlocked the SIM card, and updated my PRL before leaving from JFK. When I arrived in France, I got no reception and was unable to switch to GSM mode. I ended up not having a working phone for the entire trip.
I get back to the US and complain to customer service and they offer to replace the SIM card. After taking my phone apart I realized that the CSR at the Verizon store had inserted my SIM card backwards. I turned the SIM card around and the phone now is able to switch to global mode. The correct way to insert the card is with the cut corner of the SIM card outside of the slot on the right (if you are looking at the card in the slot).
Not saying this is your problem, but it's definitely something to check.
ouch...that hurts!!
I'll make sure to double check mine when I touch down next week.
For logcat, I use Eclipse and DDMS. Just setup eclipse per Google's instructions and once you connect your phone (enable USB debugging), you will see a logcat tab next to the console. Just look in there...lots of data will be spit out of your phone.

I have checked and tested with 05 set of HTC Incredible 2
. There has only 01 set can't be unlocked and also can't switched into GSM mode.
I thought the problem comes from the set itself, not because of the way of inserting Sim card.
Thank Petitsinge for your support.
@ Mattwood2000 : tks , I will test for sure and then inform you.

Unfortunately at work!
I looked at your logcat and that is the same as I had with my European SIM - I guess the problem is that there are no local cells that accept that carrier/SIM card. What carrier is the SIM for?
I tried my phone with an AT&T card and it worked just fine.
I suspect that when I get to Europe next week there will be no problem with my card.
Can you try another card?
*EDIT*
One other though I had is what kind of SIM card - micro, etc.?
If its a micro you will need an adapter or careful hands to get it to seat correctly.
I'm having the same exact issue as the OP any resolution? I get "Network or SIM card error" when trying to access GSM options.
Thanks!

I'm currently running slimkat rom, and my Fire Phone won't detect my sim card. My sim card has been cut down from a micro sim, so I suspect that may be the problem. The same sim card works perfectly fine in my Nexus 6 though. I never tried the sim card when the phone was still on Fire OS, so I don't know if I needed to pop it in first before switching to AOSP or what. Anyone ever had any similar issues?
I have the same problem. My phone is currently on latest build of CM-11
Please Help...

Problem Solved...
The problem was with sim card slot.
FirePhone has the worst sim card slot in any phone I have ever had...
Had the same problem when sim card got cut. Replaced sim card with a propper nano sim and it works!

Yes, it sounds stupid but I had the same problem. SIM card inserted not exactly right. I kept getting SIM card errors until I finally got the SIM card in right.
Hi,
I am from India. I bought this phone last month and I didn't find any problem with my phone till yesterday. I ported my number from Vodafone GSM to Reliance GSM for some better tariffs. When I inserted my SIM card it restarted telling me that "New SIM Card Inserted. Restarting..". But at the next complete boot the phone restarted again telling that "SIM Card Removed. Restarting". I didn't remove the SIM Card or use anything. It is restarting whenever I put that SIM Card. I have tried replacing a duplicate SIM Card and again my phone is doing the same. Seeing many websites, I have tried blowing and sucking the slot so that may remove any dusts. (If any). And tried using the SIM Card in all other phones. It perfectly works on all phones. In my mobile I have tried using all SIM Cards. Everything works in my phone except this Reliance GSM. What to do??
Thanks,
Jagannath Sankar
try using different sim slot
I own a d858hk dual sim lg g3. Lately I am having problem with the sims. IF I insert sim cards in both sim 1 and 2 slots, none of the sims work and only 4g network gets connected on sim 1 sometimes. 2k and 3g on sim 1 and 2g on sim 2 doesn't work. If I put sim in only slot 1, only 4g network gets connected on sim 1 sometimes. 2k and 3g on sim 1 don't work. If I put the sim only in sim slot 2 then I get 2g working on sim 2. In short I only get the sim to work when inserted in only sim slot 2. If 2 sims inserted in both slot neither of the sims work. It is not a software issue. I have tried flashing the kdz, the tot file. tried kitkat, lollipop and marshmallow kdz with same results. I have even tried custom roms and the result was same. I only get network connection when sim is inserted in slot 2 only. It is apparently some hardware issue.. If anyone has insight on what the problem can be, please help me. Anxiously waiting for your reply
