[Q] [SOLVED] Sim card not detected - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried installing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578828 and it said that installation was successful but when I started the phone I had no service. I tried manually searching for networks but I got a "Unfortunately Settings has stopped working". I had a backup right before installing this but there was a problem with it and couldn't restore. I tried factory reset but now I just get a "Unfortunately phone.android.com proccess has stopped working" when I start the phone and the Settings crash whenever I try to do something and still sim card is not recognized. I tried it on a different phone there was no problem. I am thinking about reseting with CWM but I am hoping you can help me before I do that.

I had the same try taking out your sim and clean it that did it for me
EDIT: does it work when you remove the mod?
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app

Just tried it but didn't help.
Actually when I remove it and insert it while the phone is on it says "Sim card removed" or "Sim card inserted" and then restarts.
I tried removing it but same thing.
And after I did the factory reset I thought it would delete the mod but it didn't help.

Get a new simcard.. This will solve the problem (most of the time)

I'm not sure if it will fix it. I tried my sim card on a different phone and it was working fine. I tried a sim card from a different carrier and it still wasn't working on my phone.

Normaly a new one does not cost anything so it is worht a try. If its still not working then I suggest you let your phone be repaired.

Normally they don't charge but in my country they do....
That's why I prefer to try repairing it myself and as a last resort to give it to someone....
Still trying to figure out how to though... I'm thinking of trying to go back to stock rom and see if that helps or install CM10 or 11...
Will write again after my tries.

Well I couldn't find what exactly was doing the problem but I found a solution. I repaired my phone with PC Companion and everything is fine now...

phone lost signal

hi
I upgraded to helmi 3.5 last week, all run good untill yesterday when the phone lost signal, it just has a '!' next to it i've tried soft and hard reset but still same problem. i've checked the wireless manager which says phone is on. does anyone have any idea how to solve this.would flashing the radio or rom again solve this
thanks
Try booting up without a sim card, switch the phone on and off again once or twice in Comm Manager, then put your card back in.
tried that but no luck. in the phone settings it says 'no service' do you think the radio has failed or possibly it needs sim unlocking again
"No service" suggests that the phone itself is on and not seeing anything. Otherwise you'd be seeing "Phone off". Have you tried any other sim cards, or even giving your own a wipe?
You could be having the same problem as the one in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289761 ?
solved
thanks guys for trying to help i just updated to xplodes rom and now works fine but thanks for the advice it was much appreciated

[Q] SIM card - GONE???

Did a one touch root, worked great. Did a SuperRooterExtreme to get rid of the AT&T crap mainly, applied the LAG fix and subsequently lost my market access to the applications I needed.
Farted around trying to recover from that, finally gave up and started downloading the one touch recovery to stock when I noticed that my phone was in flight mode.
Basically it isn't seeing my SIM card at all. I've tried rebooting with it out as well as the External SD card, yanking the battery, the SIM card, reinserting the SIM card after powering up, etc. nothing.
Hoping that the flash to stock fixes it, but any thoughts in the mean time? On SLOOOOW download for the next hour...
IS it put in correctly?
It's possible to put the SIM card in backwards. Check that it isn't.
Im having the EXACT same problem. Any luck yet?
I got it working. I messed with MarketAccess and rebooted and got it to work.
EDIT: Had the same problem again. Flashing to H3 did the trick.

Flashed kdz with lg software, imei and boot problems.. Help please

. I flashed the KZ file with lg update software as explained in the XDA thread but I could not get the process to work right. My phone kept disconnecting at 28% and it would not turn on no matter what I did. It would only make a short vibrate as if it was turning on, and the computer would notice it but only for a short time. And never once did a light on the screen, or LG logo, or anything at all ever appear.
I figured I had really screwed it up, but when I plugged it into the wall it booted up perfectly. All my data was in tact and the rom i had flashed through cwm was still there, not the kdz file that I flashed with the lg software.. I noticed that my sim card did not come up as being in the phone at all. I looked in system setting status and noticed that all info related to my imei said unknown. I opened up the mfg app (277634#*# from the phone app).. Under "version info" then "factory version" my phone now says xmm6260.. It always used to say p925..etc... Even after flashing the zip to debrand from at&t this never changed from p925 even when every other aspect of my phone has.. I was hoping maybe once I put in an activated sim card everything would be fine and my phone would be unlocked which is why i flashed through lg software.. But seeing as how other people are having this similar issue and their phones not seeing the sim card, well im looking for some advice.. Should I try and re flash kdz file through lg software again? if i do, im going to do it on my XP computer this time, not Windows 7..
Just wanted to add that I did try wiping data and cache from cm and no dice.. Root and CMW work fine but no matter what I do, if my phone is turned off, i cannot boot up or boot to cwm or boot at all unless i plug the phone into a wall carger and then once its on it stays on and i can unlug.. SORRY ABOUT THE LONG POST, THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP..
I would reflash CWR first and foremost, then try to flash back to stock.
No IMEI/GSM Radio
Hi, were you able to fix your problem? If so, could you please give me a hand, I have same problem.
Im attaching a couple of screen shots, one where you can see that IMEI is not shown and other is where you see the phone number thats on the SIM but has a sign like if no SIM were inserted.
Using the KDZ detects the IMEI, but after flashing it doesnt show up on phone.
Thanks
Took my phone to a cellphone shop and they fixed it. Everything is back to stock and working normal.
Hi ive got the same problem, did you fix it?
Yes, my phone is working perfect at stock. Im going to wait for GB ir ICS with a working 850MHz baseband.

[Q] CM7 Sim card problem.

Hello. Yesterday happened some strange thing. I was playing Trial Bike on my Mini and after I closed it I noticed that my phone had an sim card icon with (!) mark at the notification bar. So it didn`t detect my sim card. Tried rebooting but didn`t help.
So, then I tried to flash to stock 2.3.6 ROM and the SIM was detected. Then I updated back to CM7. Everything worked fine till now. Again my phone does not detect my sim card.
Maybe some one knows a solution how can I fix this?
Thanks.
[EDIT] Found a solution. It was because I enabled "Disable lockscreen" @ CM Settings.
Thanks to this post.

Phone doesn't read my SIM

I have been using CM11 (14-03-2014 I believe), without major problems until yesterday. Sometimes my phone seemed to disconnect from my SIM and I had to re-enter my pin code to reconnect to my operators network. But as of yesterday my device doesn't seem to recognize the SIM card, It doesn't ask for a code at all and can't make any connection whatsoever. I didn't change a thing, this problem started out of the blue.
I wiped cache and dalvik, updated to the latest CM nightly (08-05) but that didn't make any difference. In other threads I read about the baseband that might need an update, but I can't check which version I have now because when I try to enter the hidden menu I get the no network connection error. The strange thing is that CM11 has worked with (I guess) the stock baseband.
Is my phone tripping or could it be that my SIM card is broken?
Help and thoughts will be very much appreciated
Try it on stock to be sure about it.
After some searching I found a phone that could fit a regular SIM card, a Blackberry 9900. My SIM worked perfect in this phone, so that is not the problem.
I Also did a complete wipe and installed a stable version of CM 10.1.3, but that didn't seem to help. I hoped that a downgrade would have done the trick. I might try a ICS ROM or the stock firmware, but I kind of lost hope and i'm starting to think this problem is hardware related in stead of software. I'll report back with results on stock firmware and the ICS ROM.
How can I make sure the SIM reader in my phone is working properly?
Sorry for double posting, but I got an update:
SIM wasn't working with ICS so I decided to go back to the stock ROM. However, when I tried to flash V20B.kdz with KDZ_FW_UPD, the program got stuck at wParam=2010 and iParam=210. The phone is now stuck in S/W Update mode, and I haven't found a way to restore it yet. I will argue a little more with my phone when I get back from work, I'll open a new thread on how to unbrick when I can't do it myself.

I have the same problem, and exactly the same error at reflash.
Dead end. Buy a new phone .
I tried to flash it about 80 times. One guy from a gsm repair has a bit luck and make it work at the first, but then, when he wanted to repair my imei, the phone stucked again in S/W Upgrade.
