Anybody else see this message? After upgrading to WM5 I get the message on the phone:
Unknown SIM status.
Only emergency calls.....
To test I put the SIM card in my MPx200 and it works fine so that card should be good.
Any ideas?
Got it figured out. I did the upgrade without the sim card in the device. So, extensive reading helped me come up with the idea of hard reset the device to get to the screen where it ask about kitl, etc. At this point I soft reset the device since I didn't want to loose the data I already had on the device.
Now the sim card is recognized.
This is a looong time after your post, but I wanted to thank you for posting the solution. You just saved me a lot of hair, thank you.

:twisted: Hello, I've tried to unlock my brand new 9100 with Lockiwiz. At first glance it seemed to work fine...till I tried to put a simcard in...Any Simcard produces (once the PIN has been dialed) the same result : it displays "Unknown SIM condition".
I tried to reverse the unlocking with lockiwiz and it didn't work either. Hard reset gave no result either.
The result is I'm very much annoyed with this brand new handheld I can't use as a phone or return to the dealer who would of course understand what I attempted to do...
Would anyone of you help ???
Thank you very much indeed
Hi, I unlocked my phone and installed Summiter's 2.17.7.2 WWE ROM from a few a weeks ago and just recently I began getting a "Invalid or missing SIM card. You can still make emergency calls if your service provider supports it." message on my phone. My phone is almost unusable now, if I reboot, I may be able to get my signal back, but then it go back to being invalid again. I haven't messed with the phone at all since upgrading.
Is there something I missed here? I did the phone unlock and CID unlock as directed in the instructions. Only now it started doing this. Can someone help please?

Do you by chance have a 64K SIM made by GemPlus? I've seen many reports of those SIMs giving up the ghost.
Indeed, it is a 64K Gemplus SIM card,
Is this something that has to do with the ROM? If I go to Cingular do you know if they will they give me a replacement SIM or are they going to refuse me service because I messed with the phone?

Well, I'd set the phone's theme and stuff to look as stock as possible. But in my experience, if you walk in and tell them you get a SIM error they'll just give you a new one without putting any effort into the matter.
I actually have another SIM card that came in the box (it says 3GC), I'm just using my original SIM card from my Moto V220. I guess I'll give them a call and see if I can switch them.
I just hope it isn't the ROM that's doing it, or else it'll ruin this one too.
Probably not the ROM -- I have a Qtek 9100 with the original ROM, and my Cingular SIM gave up the ghost 1 week after I got the Qtek. I've read a couple other reports of SIM failures with Wizards.
The Cingular support rep wouldn't let me activate my other SIM card yet, she thought that since my name was still registered to my old Moto V220 on their system, that was the reason why it was locking out my phone. Eh, it's working for now, I'll see what happens.
When mine fried a few weeks back I took my old Blue Angel to the local Cingular store just to avoid such questions. They made a new SIM on the spot, no questions asked.
Have tried several different Sim cards from Cingular. So i know it's not my Sim card.
So here's the Story. I bought the phone on ebay, knowing it had some kind of stupid SIM lock on it. I figured no worries, just flash the firmware, and it will go away. So I upgraded to mobile 6 using the Wiki (couldn't do the memory swap unlock thing, since pocket pc 2003 doesn't let you into the OS if it can't use SIM card). So I flashed to mobile 6, everything works great (well.. great, but the clock resets everytime i take the battery out) except it won't let me use the phone, it see's the SIM card (becuase if I take it out, it wines about no SIM), everytime I try to go in the settings for phone or SMS it just says phone is busy wait 15 seconds and try again.
Couple of things I have tried, upgrading Radio... upgrades won't work.
Downgrading back 2003, doesn't work.
Any thoughts?
try buying a new battery. since it is a "second-hand" unit.
i think it's not buffed enough to powerup the phone module.

Thanks for the tip but that didn't help. Got a brand new battery and everything... It's just a little frustrating to have only the PDA functionality but no phone.
i had that kind of problem... i never solved it... but JP did.
it's worth a try...
Click Here and READ the thread... hope it helps...
NightWinggl,
I think you've answered your on question.
If your BA is sim locked to another operator and you didn't manage to unlock it, phone/sim services won't work.
JP
@JP
i thought if the phone is "locked" that would throw an "invalid sim status" not "phone is busy wait 15 seconds and try again"?
@NightWinggl
it wont hurt to try unlocking the phone module as JP said to make sure it's unlocked and accepting your carrier. search for unlock in this forum.
hope that works for you.
Silver,
I'm not sure, but if i remember correclty when i was learning to upgrade my BA and reading the wiki for the first time, i upgraded my BA with Helmi's ROM but didn't SIM unlock it, and i believe the behaviour when using a "locked SIM" was as described by NightWinggl.
No "invalid sim status" or "invalid sim status" or "please insert sim" ... i think.

Hi, I
’ve had a Orange HTC Kaiser for ages (WM6), I got it unlocked by www.imei-check.co.uk and put my O2 sim in and everything worked fine until the phone crashed. Now if I put my O2 sim in the phone just says ‘The SIM card is missing’. I have tried everything I’ve put new rom’s on (I'm now on WM6.1), new radio, asked it nicely and I’ve run the unlocking software I found on this site and that told me the phone as unlocked??! Whatever I try the damn thing WON’T WORK!!!!! I’ve tried everything! Any help much appreciated! Oh and If I put an Orange sim card in the phone works.
Cheers
Crooky.
did you put your O2 sim into another phone to see if it works?
Yes, it's currently in a HTC M3100 working fine.
its probably just a contact problem, just try cleaning the sim, and the contact points on the kaiser or putting a piece of paper behind the sim and insert it
UNBELIVABLE! I can’t tell you how much work I’ve put into sorting this phone and when I read you’re reply I must admit I thought ‘Yeah Right!’ but I looked at the sim and it is slightly curved when it’s out of the phone, I put it in an held the sim on the contacts and it bloody worked!!!!!!! You’re a genius! Thanks for your help!
Hi
I just got on at&T 8925, I put in sim card and it did not ask for unlock code, so I guess it is unlocked, I put in my sim card (Fido Canada,works in other phone) and it show "no service" can not find phone network signal.
I tried
ATT ROM 1.57.502.2 and
RUU_Kaiser_ROGERS_WWE_1.83.631.4_radio_sign_22.51.88.13_1.27.15.32R_Test.exe
radio 1.27.12.11 and 1.27.15.32
all same problem.
Can anyone help me, are these rom combinations not good? or something wrong with the device?
or anything I need to do?
thank you for your help !
Try another known-good SIM card. If you still cannot get service, then you probably have a hardware issue with the phone.
Sounds stupid, but did you make sure you put the SIM in the right way around.
You wouldn't believe how many people have not done this right.
Sounds like it's not unlocked... when I got mine it wasn't unlocked but it only asked for a code once.... just run the unlocker to be sure...
maybe to hard reset?
Hi thanks for everyone's help.
I think I put the sim card the right way , otherwise it will show 'no sim card'
I am keep trying other rom/radio; still no luck, it either keep searching or say 'no service'
I really hope it is not hardware problem.
hope if anyone has the experience and could help me
it really confuse me.
Thanks

welll this might be a little solution i read in another thread...sum times the phone will not read the sim becuz its not making enough contact to the phone...so maybe a little piece of paper on top of the sim then put it in the phone MIGHT help..if it doesnt then ur phone is jacked up =P
or
when i put my tmobile sim in my unlocked 8925 it worked and then a couple our couldnt get n e service... and i checked my brothers phone and dad and they didnt have service too... so maybe sumtimes the network will nto work for a while. or sumthing
If you go in the phone options and do a manual network search, does it find anything?
Thanks brian_v3ntura:
but I tried paper, same thing, maybe not be contact problem.
Thanks kilrah:
I tried that, it shows " cannot read setting from network, try viewing setting later or disconnect data connection and try again."
I did saw something online that maybe because the Fido sim card maybe old (about 3 years), but it did work with sth. like Samsung blackjack II. maybe Kaiser is more complicated.
just wonding if anyone have experience that old sim card may have problem with new phones.
I will keeping trying...
My SIM card is about 4 years old.
I'd bet your Kaiser has a hardware problem.
Hi, guys
I tried a friend's Fido sim card, it works, I don't what's the difference, but it is just like that, maybe I should go get a new card.
Thanks everyone.
good
as one of the boys ur sim might be damaged/old (power failure issues most likely)

yeah, just what confused me is that the sim card still work with my other phones.
Hey guys,
Long time lurker here... and I'm having the same problem.
I have a foreign (Cyprus CytaMobile Vodaphone) SIM in my Kaiser. A couple times over the last few days I was getting the "no service" but if I reset (turn on/off) the device it was fine. Today I cannot get service on it at all. I tried it in an unlocked 1G iPhone and it didn't seem to work either.
I thought maybe the SIM is dead, however when the device it's in starts up, it asks me for the PIN set on the SIM card. I enter the PIN, and it unlocks the SIM. How could the SIM be dead if the PIN authenticates? However, when I put my regular Canadian Rogers SIM in, it works fine.
Where it usually says "Searching.." on the home screen, I once got "Denied, searching.." but I haven't been able to reproduce it.
Any ideas? The provider doesn't have a local roaming agreement, however for the past year it has always registered on the network and allowed me to check balance and send text messages.
Is it most likely a dead SIM or blocked by Rogers? I'm doubting the blocked part, but the successful PIN entry is what has me baffled...
Thanks!
Chris
Ok different SIM card also from Cyprus Cytamobile in a SE w810 does the same thing. Is Rogers seriously all of a sudden blocking these? There is no local roaming agreement, however I would always get the Rogers welcome text's and even be able to check balances. I've been doing this off and on for 4 years...
Anyone ever heard of something like this?
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. Sorry, getting a bit off topic but I thought the initial problem was related!
EDIT: Ok, I can also see all the SIM contacts and SMS messages stored on the SIM.

I also have the same problem with my tytn, I have a bad feeling it is hardware If you manage to find the problem please let me know. I have tried the paper thing and also all new firmware and OS nothing helps
Try setting it to GSM only (disable 3G) and see what happens.
To do that go to Settings->Personal->Phone->Band->Network Type=GSM.
If it works then, you might want to read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419803
