SIM card - after XTC clip unlock

Has anyone tested a SIM card in the Inc2 after using the XTC Clip? I have one that didn't seem to work which I attributed to being older and provisioned for a BB. However, I tried an original Verizon SIM card and I still get the same errors:
1. No Network is ever found
2. When going to GSM Call Settings - "Network or SIM card error."
Does anyone have any comments or different experience with it?
Thanks, Matt.

which ROM are you trying this on? XTC clip is a full NAND and SIM unlock should work.. strange.

I've tried it only on the nandroid backup I did of my system before trying other ROMs - currently only plainjane roms support SIM cards, but I cannot install them either (see my post in that thread). I would really like to see CM7 support the SIM.
I know that the clip successfully unlocked the SIM, because before my card would give an error; something like its not a valid SIM card even though it would ask me for my PIN at reboot.
Now, it doesn't pop up the error after a reboot, but still asks me for my PIN...so it sees it. Its just when changing to GSM/UTMS mode that I get the network/SIM error.
I'm going to try with a buddy's SIM that I know works in his iPhone so i'll see what happens.
I was just wondering if anyone else had tried it yet.
Thanks, Matt.

Nice, am interested to see what would happen and if that works!

you will be the first to know!

OK, don't have a known-good SIM card to try yet, but I tried changing the mode to GSM/UMTS only on a stock INC2 with the stock verizon SIM card and it had the same behavior as mine - "SIM card or network error".
I will get an AT&T SIM card from an iPhone to try hopefully this week, but I wonder if its a provisioning issue with the SIM? Anyone have a SIM they can try with a rooted/XTC clip s-off'ed INC2?
Thanks, Matt.

VERY interesting...looks like verizon is doing some trickery in the radio firmware - I'm willing the be the same thing is going on here. I'd love to solve this before I leave for Europe next week, but if not I'll update the thread with what I find using my SIM card aborad.

After unlock by xtc clip not success . I buy unlock code
but
Ive recently unlocked gsm , but can't change to GSM mode ( always show CDMA mode)
change to GSM mode , Incredible 2 show
"there is no Sim Card on your device . Your device will switch to CDMA mode now"
try another Sim card , change to GSM mode ,still show ""there is no Sim Card on your device . Your device will switch to CDMA mode now""
My incredible 2 , new in a box 100%
Unlocked by code
Solution ??? help

I think you hardware is just fine, but the radio firmware is filtering out any US GSM carrier codes - essentially making GSM operation in the US impossible.
However, I think there must be a software or radio solution to this.

I am an inc2 Verizon customer. I called Verizon and got an unlock code easily. I have a T-Mobile prepaid similar that I put in and it works perfectly. I switched to GSM and made a call without issue.
Next I added the apn in settings for data, bought a web daypass, and data also worked.
I live in an edge only area or I would test for 3g. Ill update if I travel to an area that has it.
T-Mobile US bands work fine though

At&t sim works, tested today.

Do you get EDGE/1X or 3g/HSPA with ATT sim?

I believe it was edge, but I'm not familiar with AT&T in the area so I'm not sure if that is normal or not. I was more concerned with the overall ability to use a non-verizon SIM.

Wi-fi Calling

Hey guys if i get the invalid sim card message does that mean I must get a new sim card? If so how much would this cost me?

The sim card that is required for our devices to be able to use wifi calling is labeled with a TM9177 (newer sim card) so if you have a TM9073 (older sim card) you need to update that at your local T-Mobile store. it didnt cost me anything. they replaced it with no problems at all.

I've been seeing a major bug lately with WiFi calling. Sometimes (seemingly at random, though always when I am trying to connect to a WiFi after being connected to cell network) the icon will turn RED and give me the dreaded SIM error. Generally this is fixable with a reboot. So if you have a TM9177 SIM and for some reason you are getting the SIM Error code then try a reboot first.
Of course if you have an older SIM then yes, you need to get a new SIM. Call TMO first and tell them to put a note on your account that you are able to receive a free SIM. Otherwise some of the more A-Holeish stores may try and charge you 20 dollars.

No problem so far with wifi calling on my phone.
just goto your local t-mobile store and tell them to change your old card for a new one. they know what to do. and it's free.

Curiosity....what ROM are you using? I wonder if the wifi calling bugs I'm seeing are a ROM issue...

Thank you guys, I will call them first in head of time and then go to the mall. Thank you all!

need help figuring this out with my sim

i have the gt-i9250 and i always used an at&t sim with it with out an issue, recently i wanted to switch to t-mobile (thinking the phone should be unlocked considering it was an international phone and was the yakjuxw than i flashed it to yakju which was wierd cause i had google wallet on it and it was working fine although i only thought it was compatible with takju, but anyway all and all i put it to the usa firmware of takju 4.0.4 not going to jellybean yet, but my issue is that i am not able to use the t-mobile sim card in it and i get this (look at screenshot where signal is) what does this mean and how come i cant get signal, when i go to settings and mobile networks it shows me the apn for t-mobile us but not selected so i select it than after i go to mobile networks and it shows t-mobile and at&t and when i click any of them they tell me its unable to connect and it cant connect to the network at this time, so what would this mean and how would i fix it so that i can use it with my t-mobile sim card, also i flashed the newer NA radio uglc1.

That is weird. It should work on either of them. It just means you have no signal. That is strange. You could've actually just popped the Sim right in. It didn't matter if you were using a ROM

Is the SIM activated for sure? I know when I switched to the T-mobile $30 plan it took it a good 15 minutes or so to activate, and then I didn't actually get signal until rebooting the phone for whatever reason.

Did you reboot your phone?
Although you can sometimes hot plug a sim card by turning on flight mode, taking the sim card out and toggling flight mode a few times, it won't work sometimes.

probably your cell imei not free and therefore can not change your sim.
There is an application called "****docomo" worth to release the imei. Make a backup just in case

Don't think he has a SIM unlock problem. Considering that it was working with AT&T, which never had a locked version of the GNex, I think he's having another issue.
I'd tell the OP to make 100% sure that his new T-Mobile SIM is activated and not defective, then try a few reboots and swaps back to the old SIM and do some troubleshooting. If it's the phone and not the SIM, its likely a mobile network registration error or an APN issue.
Looking in the notification bar, it seems like the phone doesn't think there's even a SIM inserted. Make sure you didn't damage a pin in the SIM tray, and that the SIM is properly inserted and clean. I don't think you'd get this error of "no SIM" if your phone was locked. If that was the case, the phone would recognize the SIM and prompt for an unlock code, which you're not getting.

SIM State: Network locked

Just got a hold of a HTC One X and get no signal at all when I have my SIM in.
Was originally from O2 (UK) and when opening a SIM info app (eg SIM card, SIM manager) the SIM state shows as network locked.
I'm assuming the phone needs to be unlocked but there doesn't seem to be any way of inputting a unlock code (doesn't prompt for unlock code with SIM inserted,no option for entering unlock code in security menu).
Any ideas?
Thanks

Don't think you can SIM-unlock a HTC One X without s-off, unless you have a code, in which case ive read in some cases you may have to insert the new SIM code and hard reset the phone, to then input the code. But don't quote me.

Yea that's the thing though. I have an unlock code for it, I just can't find anywhere to input it.
I've done a hard reset and there's still no prompt for unlocking.
EDIT: my flatmate whose phone it is said that it was working fine before upgrading to JB.

Bump =/

try inserting a sim from a different provider, phone will ask for the code on its own as soon as new sim is in

Nah they don't which is why it's so odd.
I'll go pick up a brand new sim today and check if that works

[Paranoid Android 7.2.1] - Phone can not detect associated phone number with SIM card

Hey all,
This may or may not be ROM specific, but I just switched carriers and for the time that my number was being ported, I had both my old SIM card (Net10 on AT&T towers) and my new SIM card (T-Mobile) in the phone. During that crossover time, everything worked fine. In the SIM settings page, the carrier for each SIM and the associated phone number appeared correctly. However, once I removed my old SIM (phone was powered down any time I changed SIMs) the phone still functions fine for calls, texts, and data, but it no longer recognizes the SIM carrier or phone number.
This is made worse, as the carrier has an app that checks the SIM card before running, now, the app just shows "We do not recognize your SIM card".
I also noticed that carrier specific dialer codes no longer function. For example, if you dial #264# you should be presented with the status of T-Mobiles "Binge On" feature, but now it just does nothing once I hit call.
I have tried swapping the SIM between slot 1 and slot 2, I have also tried rebooting numerous times, all to no avail. I'd really prefer to not have to switch ROMs, but if that ends up being the solution, I guess I'll do it.
Any help would be appricated.
Thanks,
Austin

What does your Settings>About Phone>Sim Status show?
There are some apps (root+Xposed required) which edit the number in the sim. You can also input a number if it is blank in the sim.
Failing this, you may have to approach your service provider.

The Phone Number row shows as Unknown in there as well. However, if I insert my old sim in the other sim slot it then shows my correct phone number.
So the number is there in the sim, but for some reason is only read if I have both sims in.
