Diamond wont receognise sim card

i have a problem with my diamond. It only reads my sim card, wont read any other sim card that is inserted. It was originally using XOR morna rom, done a new flash and still same problem. Re-flashed with a original HTC rom, but still same problem. I some how think its not a software problem as it has been flashed/hard-reset numerous times.
Any one know what problem can be or if anyone has same problem, with solution
thanks

Mmmm...
When you say it only reads 'your' SIM card, do you mean it's SIM locked. If you're on vodafone for instance, and you put another vodafone SIM in, does it recognise that? Or do you mean it won't allow any other SIM at all... even if the network's the same?
If it's the first option, your device is obviously SIM locked, if it's the second option, have you installed any security software like Ultimate Theft Alert, or similar, which will also block any other SIMs??

its not sim locked, it was an unbranded phone when i first got it. I am on three and have tried 3 different other three sim cards and also a vodaphone simcard, non of them work.
Its like there is no sim card at all. Im starting to thinbk its a hardware problem not software as i have flashed it few times now with different roms

any ideas, i need to get this working urgently

Mmmm...
Definitely sounds like a hardware issue to me. It's probably time to send it away

Hey Kerm when you put the sim cards does it ask you for for the pin??? or what you could do is see if you can try to clean the sim contact in your phone or run a eraser over the sim card contact and see if there is a difference

had a problem with an unreadable sim-card a few months ago as well; A new sim-card solved my problem... But since you are having trouble with 3 different cards, it might be a hardware problem in your case indeed.

doesnt ask for any pins, as soon as the phone starts up with another sim card inserted, it says no sim card. When it starts up with mu simcard inserted, phone function runs as normal, i can see reception bars etc

I had the same problem when i received my diamond. Tried several sim cards but none was recognized.
I received a new phone because it was a hardware failure.

Sounds like mu has a way of making a new kinda sim lock that only works with there phones ,I would digg a lil deeper and make sure its not a sim lock on your phone

what do you mean by MU, couldnt make it out. How can i find out about if its been sim locked

Sim missing ? Any ideas

Hi
ive got a problem whereby my phone stops recognising my simcard and i can't
get it to recognise it unlless i hard reset
the hard reset works for about 3-4 hours and then it stops recognising it.
( during the 3-4 hours i don't move the phone just so it HOPEFULLY proves it isn't hardware.
Any Ideas
thanks ben
( it is on 02 and i have tryed other 02 cards and an orrange card )

I know this has been covered a few times and can be found easily using the search...
Most liklely it is hardware, as the ROM does not really ever affect that. One thing to try is when you open the sim card door, there is a metal bar that goes over the card and holds it in place. Remove the card and press down on the tab untill it touches the golden tabs below it. Then put the card in. This should put pressure on the card and keep it connected. If that does not work, you may need to replaced the sim card reader

Hardware definitely. Had the same problem and luuckily had extra parts. Swapped it out and works like a charm now.

Swapped what out ?
The SIM card reader ?
Where would I get one ?
Who would install it ?
I have this issue and I want to go back to my TyTN II.
Thanks.

I wouldn't count too much on the hardware. When i got my Kaiser yesterday (slightly used) it recognised every simcard i had in store, except my own, which i wanted to use. Simcard in different phone (a soaked Herald, but somehow sometimes working) told me the sim was fine. So i transferred my contract to a out-of-the-box simcard from KPN-NL, and that one somehow worked. I didn't really bother to have another thought about it, but is it a known hardware issue then?

Samsung Galaxy S Captivate not recognizing sim card.

i have torch v1.5 on my phone. when i took my sim out, put a friends in so she could use it, then put mine back in, it didnt recognize my sim. i cant access the APN settings to change those back to rogers, because it says "insert sim card to access network services". can someone please help me with this as i NEED my phone for this weekend.
Cheers

Get a new sim card?

Does your sim card work in a different phone?

That happened to me once. I had to return the phone. I was unable to get it to recognize the sim card.
Different rom didn't help either. Even when I flashed back to stock... no sim. It was a refurb so a new one was easy to get.
Hope you get it worked out.

This happened to me earlier this week. Flash to stock and then back to the rom worked for me

Clean contacts on sim card. Factory reset. If that doesn't work call Rogers for replacement.
No warranty you can replace the simcard slot its a daughter card I think you can order from globalpartsdirect

I have the exact same problem. Again it happened with a warranty phone I just received today. It occurred while trying to root the phone. The SIM card from my wife's iPhone does not work in my phone either. However, my SIM works in her phone. I've tried just about everything I can think of at this point other than running Kies (my next try).
BTW,
Unlike my original Captivate, this one came to me with Froyo already installed.

Under Menu /Settings / About phone /Status /Network what does it say ??
If it says "Unknown" you could try just flashing ur modem again.

I am having the exact same issue with a refurbished phone from AT&T and insurance gone im out of luck unless there is a easy solution.

Hello Everyone, So this is my situation so far:
I have a Samsung Captivate with unbrickable mod added. I flashed with Heindall to 2.2 froyo on linux. The SIM card is not recognized. I have triend 2.1 and 2.2 and 2.3 one clicks in windwons with no luck. I tried to mess with IMEI and elfs file. Results were that the lines i was suppose to change on nv.bin did not exist (no lines in file i was attempting to correct). So at this point and time can i conclude this is absolutely not a software issue? Problem two is if this is a hardware issue and not a software issue. Where do i begin? how much is the price for replacement? How hard is it to do? I have tried flashing with everything off the phone (sim and sd) Im a bit lost at this point. Any help would be great.

Update: Spoke with Adam and he says its not a software issue. I also spoke with the guys who did the soldering and said the issue is not coming from the soldering. I am thinking maybe when the phone was taken apart something got loose? Any thoughts anyone?

About ready to give up, lol. Hopefully someone can help!!

I know I have other threads on this but decided to give all my symptoms and what I have done up till now in one thread.
Ok, so to begin........ I had the power button problem on my Captivate as well as other problems, phone would get hot and smell and do weird things. So I decided to buy a broken phone off ebay and change out the motherboard.
I swapped boards and the new board had a lock on it so I couldnt get into the phone so I restored it to factory defaults. After that I was able to get into the phone and it works great except for the fact it will not connect to the network! So I have a camera and a wifi device.
Here is a list of problems I see.....
When phone boots up without sim card it doesnt ask for a sim card to be inserted
when sim card is inserted it doesnt read it (card and card holder work fine on other motherboard)
No network but wifi works fine
Baseband version - unkown
phone number - unknown
mobile network type - unknown
service state - out of service
mobile network state - disconnected
imei - unknown
imei sv - unknown
I have tried pretty much everything I have read on the forum....
Rooted phone and installed a custom rom and corn kernel - no luck
Mobiletechvideo method - no luck
moved efs folder from old motherboard to new motherboard - no luck
did a CWM backup on old motherboard and copied it to new motherboard and ran CWM recovery - no luck
tried Galaxy S unlock and no matter what I do only get the FFFFFF code
Flashed other modems - no luck
in hex editor my nv_data.bin files look fine.......

So anyway, Im at the end of my rope so hopefully I can get some insight before I just give up (which I keep saying I'm going to do but havent yet, lol)
Thanks!

It may not matter, but have you tested someone else's SIM card in the phone that's not detecting yours? If it won't read two different cards, but all the software parts are looking like they're functioning correctly, it's possible you have a lemon SIM card reader.
I don't know if that's something that could be replaced, but if you test it and it won't read the second card, it might be worth getting in contact with Josh (connexion2005) at mobiletechvideos to see if replacing the SIM card reader is something they can do.

Yes I have tested other sim cards and they dont work either. I had thought of this too but I put the sim card reader/holder on the other motherboard and it reads fine.

Here's an interesting twist......
started looking around in root explorer and looked at dev/block, only folder in there is dev/block/void and it is empty. Maybe this could be the cause? If so anyone know how to fix it, lol

This very well may be a modem defect. Do you have the background story for how it became this way?

It was a phone with a broken screen I bought off ebay, took the motherboard out and put it in my phone which has a bad motherboard. Hasnt worked since I switched it out so that as far back as I can go. If it was a modem defect would the wifi still work?

VOG-L29 SIM card not detected

Hi there,
i have a HUAWEI P30 Pro VOG-L29 and used it for almost exact two years now ... without major problems or any damages at all. Few days ago the SIM card stopped being recognized and the USB port can only be used to charge (no detection when connected to a pc). I already did a factory reset. After that the sim got recognized like it should and i could use the phne to make calls for about 12 h. After that everything went back to f*d up. The SIM card is being recognized in other phones and the fact the SIM card was recognized after the reset makes me assume this may be a software related problem. Can anybody help? I'd love to be able to use this phone as long as possible. Thank you very much in advance!

Is there anyone, who had any similar issues?
