Thank you!
Thank you so much! I was worried I was going to have to try one of the more complicated fixes I've seen here. I was puzzled because after performing Joseph230's procedure to root and "convert" an S4 from AT&T to T-Mobile (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/convert-i337-to-m919-wifi-caling-t2896719) everything seemed fine and I reinstalled all my apps. Then, I get the "No SIM inserted" error out of nowhere!
After much researching I was losing hope of finding a fix guaranteed to work. Then I found your post and it worked like a charm! :highfive:
robermaldo
Thank You
Im so glad that this worked because I was losing hope that my imei or something was broken and I git scared then I found this and it actually worked I thought it was because 5.1.1 or something anyways thanks for the help I actually loged in my XDA account just to post that cause I just always use the browser
A coworker brought me his G2 that I have taken apart to fix many times before because it was having problems charging and turning on (black screen; rhythmic buzz from the vibration motor). I worked around that to get it booted temporarily but then the SIM connection seemed to suddenly fail. I replaced the motherboard entirely because some charge/power issues persisted and everything works perfectly EXCEPT that the replacement also doesn't see the SIM. Both are running stock LG Verizon Lollipop (assumed installed by OTA). No one was playing around with alternate ROMs or anything. None of the fixes in this thread help. The SIM slot is on the board so I hesitate to assume that the charge, mic, headphone flex PCB has something to do with it, but it is the only major common component (even replaced the screen again along with the battery, speaker, etc while leaving out useless components). Any suggestions?
Long version:
After a previous screen replacement it would only buzz when attempting to turn on or buzz repeatedly when attempting to charge until I loosened the black screw near the battery connector. I definitely narrowed it down to that particular screw, though I still couldn't say why (the previous tech who replaced the screen may have shorted the battery terminal near there). When he brought it back to me it was doing the same thing again even with the screw completely removed. Within minutes I had it booting just by poking around. Not sure what I did but I had to take it apart and poke around again to get it to come on after making the mistake of turning it off (went right back to buzzing). I'm pretty sure that the SIM card worked because he received a couple text messages when I first got it turned on (phone hadn't been booted in a day). After getting it to turn on I had to leave it on while reassembling, so I put the SIM tray back in when I was done. The owner was watching and asked why the status bar showed an "X" on the signal strength, so I told him that it was because you had to reboot after reinserting a SIM on most Android devices (as opposed to dual-SIM and iPhone devices). Though I couldn't turn off without causing the power problem, I could safely restart. Unfortunately, restarting only gave me the "Insert SIM" message at boot and nothing I could do would get it to see the inserted SIM. I tried many SIM cards but none worked. I replaced the motherboard expecting it to be a solution to both problems but only the power problems went away. The SIM card issue remained even though the SIM slot is built into the part I replaced and the part I purchased is supposed to be guaranteed, tested, clean IMEI, etc. I'm at a loss. I've taken out every unrelated component and replaced the screen again and replaced the battery so about the only thing that is common is the flex PCB with the mic, headphone jack, display connectors, etc running through it. Not sure how that could be a factor, but I'm replacing it too. In the mean time, does anyone have any suggestions for what could be wrong?
Update: A new mic/USB/headphone flex PCB fixed it. I'm not sure how that can cause the SIM card to not be detected, but I conclusively tested and that was definitely the problematic component: No SIM card detected on either motherboard with the old flex PCB, SIM card detected fine on both motherboards with the replacement flex PCB.

Hello, is your LG G2 still working with the new PCB flex?
Thanks a lot, this solution worked for me ?
i've done flash rom on Mtv Slash 3G 512 RAM Tablet, but no sim detected ....& i've followed your suggestion but no solution made...!!!
I had spent more than one month using CM13 based ROM thinking its ROM based issue. but this resolved the issue.
But now no sim issue has been resolved yet no mobile signals are working...
I have a vs980 or the Verizon lg g2. It bought it unlocked and I use T-Mobile. The data worked when I was on the stock os. I then got cm13 and everything worked good accept it wouldnt see my sim card or it would say no signal. And it had no info on the sim card in the about phone settings. So I tried a few other nightlys and nothing worked. I went down to cm12 and still I got the same error. I tried what you said here multiple times and it doesn't seem to help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I found a fix! Go into settings and select Mobile networks. When your in there there should be a "preferred network type" change that to global and there you go. Now I couldn't get that to work on cm13 because the settings would crash when you try to go into mobile networks. But I got it to work on cm12 just fine
dear sir.

I have a galaxy note 3 -n900 I flashed CM13 after which my phone keeps saying SIM removed/inserted... And I can't remove my SIM without taking out my battery. Also my IEMI no. is correct. So no problem there
THANKS!!!
I've spent the last three weeks dealing with various radio bugs and issues, clearing preferences, wiping caches, factory resetting, and installing clean ROMs. All it took is to set the thing into airplane mode? You've got to be kidding me!
Thanks a lot for the solution hackarchive! :good::good::good:

Hi,
I got an X10i from UK Vodafone, and upgraded its firmware in India through SEUS, and it was clean installation to R2BA026, but the moment I started using it, every time I use some app the phone switches off. Its very inconsistent.
I tried below with no luck
reinstall
removed some apps
Killed some apps
I worried that many in talk.sonyericsson.com/message/10001 say that its hardware issue, but I dont think so.
Can anyone help with some solutions?
Mod's please move this if this is not the right place to post this.
Have you tried to OTA update your x10? If this won't work you may should root your phone or try to downgrade it to an older firmware!
SE will launch eclair soon, this will also fix phone!!!
I got exactly the same here. Phone reboots in a loop or even crash without a reason. Sometimes it couldn't come up, while activating SIM / phone. After that message appears the phone is still in loop and reboots again.
I am going to downgrade now to 024 firmware. It's driving me crazy...will post if I have luck.
Well I figured out, that the problems we have are a bit more strange as expected. I read that the problem is because of the overheated battery. Once happend, the battery isn't working properly anymore. So only SE Customer Service can help. Today I'm going to a Sony store to explain my problem with the phone. Hope I'll have luck.
I nearly forgot to post the details: http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/12816#12816
I got the same problem and tried everything to fix it but nothing helped. As soon as mobile switches on it restarts and goes into a boot cycle.
I figured out that the mobile restarts mainly when it needs to read something from the sim card. I swapped my old sim with a new sim and found that the restart problem was solved instantly. I tried again with another bad sim and the restart loop starts again.
Bad sim cards slide into the sim card slot very easily and hence the pins connection are loose which tends to make the mobile unstable while reading or writing from/to sim.
The easy method to solve this problem is by making the sim a little thick by sticking a piece of paper on the back side of sim.
From my personal experience bad sim is main cause of restart cycle.
Try to swap sim cards, if it works let us know.
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for the details.
I tried both the sim cards, I have GSM Vodafone, and BSNL 3G, both has the problem, very similar.
The same worked earlier with R1XXXX very well.
However, will try the Sim trick with a paper on the back side, which afix the sim tightly.
Thanks,
Naveen.KK
Hi,
I have tried the sim trick with no luck.
Some one help.
Thanks,
Naveen.KK
its not related to sim or firmware
it is not related to sim or software, it might me with some handsets but it is completely a hardware problem...dont believe me use your phone without sim and memory card and play some game or just keep on playing with your phone
it will turn off and you have to remove battery for few seconds otherwise it wont start
this topic is covered on sony site mentioned above and other threads, this is not just happening to me or some of us...its with many of us
changing firmware, sim , memory card tried everything no luck
m using iphone now and miss big x10 screen and better colors
One week ago I sent my phone to SE. I'll get a report with my X10 back. So till now I don't have heard nothing from SE. I'll tell you what's in the report, if I get it back. By now I am playing with my oldschool N80 :-(
Hi I observed one thing weird here.
I have reset the mobile, and when it asked for APN settings, i disabled MMS&data, phone seems to be working little stable, goto check for some time, and try playing games on it.

The MMS and Data settings seem to be the problem.
When I used my old sim which was disabled, it worked fine with everything. When I enable my APN and MMS settings in my new sim and start browsing the net and downloading stuff it restarts there.
I think the problem is somewhat related to internet browsing on mobile.
What app do you use to browse internet on your Xperia?
Dear all,
I have a Legend with S-ON (1.01), and I used fake-flash to change ROMs. The mobile phone has been fine with a custom ROM for more than 3 months now.
Suddenly, 3 days ago, the phone rebooted while browsing settings and when it came back on, the device could not recognize the SIM card or connect to the network and get a signal.
The problem is weird because the device (a) can find networks if I search for them, (b) can make emergency calls, (c) connects normally to both wi-fi and the SIM 3G internet but does not:
- get signal (always zero lines)
- recognize the sim card (always asks me to rescan for new contacts, and the process fails)
I tried wiping everything, I tried reflashing, I tried flashing another ROM. The problem persists.
Would flashing a new RADIO potentially help? It is the only thing I have not tried.
I am really at a loss here. The device did not fall down, or had a knock or any other user damage. The problem started suddenly and i can'f find a way out of it.
Anyone who manages to find me a solution gets a paypal beer
PS: Something important is that the phone DOES know that SIM card is there, and DOES partially recognize it: I am asked to put my SIM card PIN, which is accepted correctly.
Hey
What I'd do:
1.)Try the SIM in another device - could be a SIM problem...
2.) As you are 1.01, there is no risk in Warranty repair, so unroot and send back to shop if the sim proves OK in another device..
Probably a stupid suggestion but i had at one point no service when my battery cover was not on...
When i was rooting mine, i kept the battery cover off because i was stuck so many times in the middle of running step 1... so never bothered putting the battery cover on...
after i succeeded in rooting, i still saw no service... but as soon as i put the battery cover on , i was able to pick up the network
@QkSi1ver: The Legend's antenna is located in the battery cover, which is why you would have had no reception with it removed.

Which could be the reason for the SIM problems : if it is not set correctly it can't communicate proper with the mobile , that's why it asks for searching for contacts ( I had a similar problem a few months ago )
no network signal!

i don´t believe it! first of all, thank u kindly for ending my nightmarish odyssey through expert forums across the globe!
that just did the trick, uber cool! and yet it sucks, because i wasted most of my sunday and half of today to solve this, wondering why nobody even mentioned connection probs.
maan, i´m tired, i´m going to bed!
Does anybody know how to fix this "error" message or why it shows up? I can't use the phone... as a phone!
I have the same issue. Even when I insert sim It says "no sim". I checked the phone lock status. But It's all unlocked. Please guys help us...........
Yesterday i had this problem too but today morning when i restarted my phone I got my phone registered to network seems like a carrier related issue. Try formatting your phone. And i also noticed that when the sim card was not placed correctly it showed me No sim card( i cut my sim using a scissor). So try placing your sim perfectly or try formatting your phone.

Hole volume up + middle key and switch on your phone. Your phone will get you into recovery mode from that menu using the volume rocker keys select format option and your phone will be hard reseted.

So far so good... my card is also made by me (cut with scissors)... but I have tried a different Micro Sim - factory cut - other number on it and still no change!

I had similar problems when my phone was delivered on Tuesday - cut my (Orange) SIM down to size, it worked for a while, then no network. Took it to an Orange shop, they tried their microSIMs, none worked. Arranged to have the phone replaced, but had another last play, and then my cut SIM in it started working - it would lose service intermittently, but eventually it was, and is, stable.
Mine has intermittent reception issues, ie dropping to emergency only every so often. My phone was sim-free so I figured it was because it lacks vodafone's customization.
I also cut my sim, maybe its an issue of it moving about slightly causing interrupts.

Guys i had the same problem, theres a solution in my thread that i didnt try cause i managed to get the faulty phone replaced but u's should try it and see if it works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27723063#post27723063
It seems that nobody knows exactly what is the fault, the part with the sim cut wrong ( it cannot be )... I have tried 2 different micro sim (factory cut) and still no difference... now I'm using my homemade the micro sim in my Galaxy S2 (without any adapters) and works perfect ( even moved around )... The Galaxy S3 is still not working! After checking with one of the guys from Phones4U, he told me that it can be a fault (hardware or software)... the best way to fix it... is replace the phone! I did not try any of the fixes from here ( so I will not make any changes to the phone - needed for the replacement - warranty )... if anyone has a good fix for this, just post it here for other people who are facing the same problem, thank you!
Your symptoms and what you've tried sounds so similar to what I had on Tuesday, also on Orange.
The guy in the Orange shop suggested to me that you'd see the same symptoms if the IMEI is reported as being lost/stolen - obviously my phone was brand new out of a sealed box, from Amazon, so this was unlikely, but it's an interesting thought if yours was second hand?
Have you managed to connect the phone via Wifi, and perform an update? This is what I did, on the off-chance it might help, as there was an update waiting. My phone did then intermittently connect to the mobile network, and gradually got more stable. It's fine now. Worth a try if you haven't already?
If your SIM card is not recognized, try this

Well, I got this problem too. And I found out that you have to push the card with a sharp object to the far left (when holding the phone with the SIM slot downwards, I shot it from the the opposite angle because of the light) inside the SIM slot for the phone to recognize your own made micro SIM. I used the SIM pin from a iPhone 4S, but I also tried with a needle and scissors, and they all worked fine.
As you can see in the picture, theres a "pin" sticking out the right (when holding the phone as described above the pin will be on the left side) Make sure that the pin "sticks out" as showed in the photo. It seems that if that pin isn't sticking out, the phone will not recognize that a SIM is inserted. I was trying for over an hour, and then I tried this and it worked at the first try.
Good advice, mistwalker, I also wondered if it was anything to do with whether it 'clicks' into position in the slot. Mine works now, so I'm not touching it again!
It has happened twice for me that it says it's not registered on network, both times i've held the power button down and deactivated the network then activated it again and it's been working.

Thank you for the advice, I have tried all so far... even updating the phone, in the last 2 hours I got stuck changing the position of the sim... I tried also a different sim... and same message comes on the screen! I will send it back to the seller and get a refund for it... the "funny" part is that I have moved the "micro sim" from S2 to S3 a few times, and the S2 has never let me down... with no micro sim adapter on it!
I think Galaxy S2 is still one of the best phones on the market... it is not so fragile as S3... and this is my second S3... the first one had to be replaced because a small accident (screen cracked after a bump in the wall)... and the bump was a light one. I admit is faster (like a "rocket"), but the "new" screen - gorilla glass 2 is fragile (like an egg)
Does anyone know how to check if the phone (IMEI) is on the blacklist? Maybe this is the "fault" from my S3... :cyclops:
So, recently I bought this beautiful phone that came pre rooted with cuoco92's rom. I put my SIM in and was ready to go. But I messed up with titanium backup and deleted the system phone app.I could still call and all, but the menu while in call was gone so I could not hang up etc.
Then I obviously decided to re-flash the rom. Problem is when I did so, the phone's signal icon was grey with a small x . From there it went downhill. I flashed the rom and some others multiple times, I even returned to stock rom+recovery, and the problem changed from what I described to a simple No SIM Card.
The phone now does not acknowledge the SIM when i put it in at all, while before it did know it had a sim inside, it just would not work.
Is there any universal troubleshoot process I can try before contacting the shop and sending the phone back? Could this be hardware?
Note that today I changed my micro sim to nano sim since the phone takes both, in hope of solving it. But it did not work on both slots.
Thanks in advance.

HI GUYS, Im having an issue with my phone(HTC dna) that is getting beyond frustrating. I got the phone like a month ago off of something it worked fine for the first week..then one day randomly stopped reading my sim card.. Im not a total dummy so ive done and ruled out the obvious , my firmware was verison 4.09.605.4 I just updated it to the current one. 4.09.605.8 so i ruled out firmware being an issue. i then went to amazon and bought the new board were the sim card attaches and the audio jack attaches i just installed that yesterday and still nothing!!. I even bought a new up sim card tray still no.. when the sim card TRAY isnt installed i get a message when about a im card not detected ,ect. when i push the tray in that message goes away which indicates it is trying to read...but in the corner you see a sim card with x through it which means no sim card..I've replaced my sim card 3 times just to rule out that but my sim card works in my other phone just not this one.. When i first got this phone a month ago it worked fine!! no troubles.. Im on the ATT go plan..i put my sim in and nothing..but now it just doesnt work..ive tried hooking my phone to my computer and opening htc sync manager and tried doing the repair and nothing ive litterally tried and ruled out most of the obvious, Is this a known problem with these phones? Can anyone please!! help me with a solution i want this phone so badly..i love this phone!!..ill be waiting for replies..hopefully someone can drop knowledge to me! thank you!
I switched over to straight talk and had the same thing happen for awhile. Changed the tray and still didn't work. What ended up straightening it out for me was either resetting the apn settings or the new sim card i got. After I did those things it worked fine.
