"invalid card " error - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm getting " invalid card" error randomly ,in my HTC one 32gb unlocked version,I bought it from HTC online shopin May last year ,was working fine except the issue of purple tint in camera for which I sent it to repair to Houston ,Texas a month back ,they did great job ,my camera working great ,no damage to device .
But now I'm having issue of invalid card ,which occurs randomly,rt now I'm s-off , running viperone Rom. I had this problem with stock 4.4 Rom & custom rom as well,I tried to change firmware & also roms but with no effect .
Many a times phone works flawlessly,but sometimes starts showing this error causing call drop .very annoying.
Some says it is because of defective SIM tray,it that case why I had no issue earlier?why it occurs randomly ? Why not always ? Enquired with service provider they say no issue with them
Any one having this problem ? Any solutions ?
Plz help

hmm i also think so.
but why it will work initially and than stops suddenly??im not able to understand
Or is it a software issue ? Many people complaining that kitkat update causing this type of errors !

When they took apart the phone and put it back together they may have broken or left loose something that eventually shifted or shorted out. Or it may just be a fluke that the sim slot went out. But i would try to blame it on them lol :-\

G1 shows "No Service" - Plz help

Hi,
I am in a big trouble.
I had my G1 with CM latest build (4.2.15.1) and it was working fine.
Suddenly, it stopped recognizing network. Now it shows No Service.
While trying to solve it, I had Restored it back to Stock (RC29).
Now it is asking me to enter Login ID & Password. But Still it shows "No service" so no way of Login.
It doesn't even go to recovery also.
How do I solve it? (I tried with T mobile Support & HTC also, no luck).
Also, I am out of warranty. So what are the options? Please help
thanks in advance.

This sounds bad. It really sounds like some hardware failure. If you know another tmob user, maybe try another sim card? Good luck.
Happened to me just after flashing a new ROM. Turns out my 7 year old SIM had died coincidentally and using the new SIM that came with the phone got it working again (after activating the SIM from T-Mobile).

there's a thread just like yours.. Find it and don't make a new thread.

no signal on 4.4.2 KitKat. what to do?

There is absolute no signal... On original ROM it says "turn off airplane mode" when I dial some number, but it's not in airplane mode.. Tried custom ROM, but there is no signs at all.
Before that I downgraded phone to 4.2.2 ( A1 and 10b version) and I got signal, but phone was not usable. It was crashing, it was freezing and so...
So any suggestions? Maybe there is some radio problem or what?
Thanks

Have you tried a new SIM from Verizon? If so and you're still under warranty, revert to stock and send that bad boy in for a replacement!
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i'm not on verizon . i use it on different carrier (outside of usa) , but it was same on verizon . and it's not sim problem , because by downgrading phone to 4.2.2. it works , i can make calls,ect , but it was freezing and unstable . but when i update it to 4.4.2 there is no signal att all , the radio is disabled ..
I'm getting this error "to make a call turn off airplane mode" when i try to call
but it's not in airplane mode..
i read that not only me or not only verizon phones has this problem , it seems the problem is in kitkat , because i saw this problem on other devices too , samsung note 3, htc one or ect...
so , is there any solution about this?
once again , i've downgraded phone and it got signal , but soft was freezing , i think it's kernel problem or something like that . seems like it's not possibly to downgrade 100% to stock
i've flashed this
https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHKZ4NT8iAxIZJyc9bW7jjJv7sQkw
and now everything works
thanks to developer !!!
still same problem appeared . WTH?!
fixing permission in recovery and several restart (2-3 times at least) fixes problem , but it's not permanent fix , working until next restart (i think)

[Q] Xperia Z c6603 Sim card not detecting problem

Hello Friends,
I am sorry to create this thread if already a discussion going on under the same topic( I am that much frustrated as well as desperate). I updated my set to 10.5.1.A.0.292 few weeks back & when it reboot I get a popup window saying nfc firmware update error 000004 which is present till the date. Then it starts a new issue like loosing the signal and reinserting the sim card rectifies the issues at first. Few days back it completely lost the signal & a sign appeared on top right corner like a red "X' mark with sim card.I tried to reinsert the sim and when I does the set shows 'sim card inserted , restarting' but after reboot again no signal, when i removes the sim again it popup as 'sim card removed, restarting'.
I tried many other sim cards. Result is same though all are working in other phone. I tried every thing starting from factory reset to flashing using PCC as well as Flash tool but still the problem persist. When I flashed CM 11 and searched the set shows all the available networks ( Though no signal was showing in status bar) but fails to register in any of them. Any idea what happened to my set and is it curable. Please help it doesn't have warranty.

does it work for CM11? maybe there is something wrong with your hardware, check what does it display on baseband, maybe try a reflash once again.

Hello Zennis thanks for the reply. I tinstalled cm 11 on it and then also there is no signal bar in the status bar but under mobile operator option i was able to check the network and all the available network were showing there but when i tried to connect my service provider it failed. I dont think there is a hardware problem coz i use it that much careful and hardly 5 minutes before this issue i attended a call.
Looking forward for your valuable reply.
I think its a baseband problem.... I previously faced problem like no signal,no imei,no wifi, etc...then i flashed different version of stock .ftf
And my problem was solved.

Hi puneet its sad to know that you too are in same situation. As I said in my post the unit was functioning for about several weeks and suddenly it fell into no network state again and this time all my trials went vain. I just sold that unit at a cheaper price to a mobile repairing shop. i dont know what they have done with it. In my opinion dont waste your energy for xperia crap.
Thank you & sorry that i cant help you.

Mi3 No SIM card issue

Hello, I was using lineage Os latest nightly when I encountered this issue. I wanted d2w. So I flashed Zurion X. Phone rebooted to TWRP. So I flashed recankut kernel. Phone worked. But I noticed that it started showing no sim card. I tried flashing Lineage Os back and nothing. So I flashed MIUI latest global beta via fast boot. No SIM card issue persists.. Now Im beginning to think that the issue is hardware issue.. I dissembled the phone.. But the sim card connectors seems to be OK for naked eye.. MY phones I will is not affected, neither the baseband.. So I'm out of options now. Can someone suggest me a workaround to bring my phone back to life.
Thanks.
Also it seems that I can make emergency calls.. Which means the radio I working

It was my sim card tray.. The lower right coner of the sim tray was broken and it interfered with the sim card identification mechanism. With a new simple card tray my phone is fixed.
If the SIM card tray is damaged (for example, a piece of plastic is chipped off or a metal plate is deformed), this can be the cause of the problem when the Xiaomi smartphone does not see the SIM card.
I had such a situation on my Mi 3. In the service center they could not find the cause of the problem, I found it myself.
I hope this information will help to somebody.
