Help!! I turned on my SX56 and discovered that everything was gone from the SD card. AT&T had some games etc. on it and I had a backup on it. Does anyone know if AT&T's files are available anywhere to restore to this card? I use the phone with Suncom and so it is unlocked.
search the forum tons of people have that issue with 2003
and some people posted a workaround

i have a tmobile pocket pc phone edition
and i have a motorola phone
but just 1 sim card. i can get another sim card for free (friend of mine works for tmobile). im wondering if there is a way to copy my sim card in my pocket pc and write it to a new card
my goal is, if i go out to dinner, to a club / bar, etc... i dont wanna carry the pda with me. yes i can just swap the card, but id rather each phone have thier own
is there a program for the pocket pc phone to copy the sim card and write a new one or some kind of device to do this ?
i know direct tv uses a smart card, which technically is what the sim card is. i was thinking maybe i can use a card programmer for direct tv, copy my good sim card and write it back to the new one.
any ideas ?

I understand it is possible to do this, however I bought the hardware and software to do so and have destroyed 2 sim cards so far and failed to copy any sim from UK service providers. This includes Orange, T- Mobile, Virgin, Vodafone and O2. I got in touch with the makers and they tell me that all these providers use V2 type cards therefore wont copy. I cannot vouch for other parts of the world. If anybody in UK has succesfully cloned a sim other than from an old Orange sim (3 years old at least) then I would be happy to hear from them. The hardware I bought allows 16 sims on one supersim, including phone book, sms etc. The sims can be switched on via a menu on the phone without switching off or resetting the phone, it will be great when the software finally gets to the stage where it works on UK sims.

Ok, I know we all hate the tools that post something in the wrong place or something that has been covered in several other threads, but I have exhausted all searches and can't post in the Dev threads...sorry
Here is the issue (assuming you're still there)...
MT4G has been rooted and unlocked with gfree (did my research about gfree issues) because I'm looking to be able to pop the AT&T sim in and rock some crappy service on my awesome phone. Tmob is good in the city, but not so good (zero service) elsewhere.
I'm in the city now working on this and there are no issues with the sim cards themselves, and I have brought the MT4G back to stock several times now only to re-root and try again. I'm leaving the froyo rom for the time being because gfree won't do ginger.
I'll do my best to provide any info requested, but I need another thought on why the phone isn't picking up AT&T svc. NOTE: APN will not save with AT&T card in, but won't be there if I save with Tmob sim and swap.
Open to suggestions, and again sorry if this is ill placed or someone knows there is an answer out there that I couldn't find.
Semper-
sorry, bumping because my post is on page 3........anyone?
Problem solved.....
AT&T has created new smaller chip SIM cards which will NOT work in a non AT&T phone. I did some digging online and found some of the older SIM cards with the full size chip on Amazon. Low and behold the unlock via gfree truely unlocks the MT4G unlike some threads had stated that it wouldn't.
The AT&T SIM MUST BE ACTIVATED ON AN AT&T PHONE! When I called to transfer to the new "old" SIM they asked for the IMEI of the AT&T phone and then called to make sure it was in the phone. Once done with customer service I put the AT&T card in the MT4G and it asked me to choose my carrier since the SIM had changed.
Hope this helps anyone who is trying to use AT&T on the MT4G.
I have unlocked my i717 phone, sim card read fine on Family Mobile service powered by T-Mobile. Then rooted phone using Odin. removed apps I didnt like. after removing Kies air and a few other AT&T apps. I got the alert at the top area no sim | emergency calls only I turned phone off then back on same issue. I return phone to factory setting another issue also didnt use odin to unroot. however I did download full ICS file and used odin to unroot then wiped clean to factory setting. The issues with sim card not reading still remains. I do have another i717 and check with hardware change of sim card reader as well as checked sim card its self in another phone and it works fine.
check with local phone tech guy he said I might have an issue with IMEI change when doing the first root? he also told me to come here for help.
How can I check if this has happened?
How can I change it back?
How can I change it to work with my Family Mobile service powered by T-Mobile?
Thanks

Seldom an IMEI issue. It's typically fixed by replacing the sim holder/reader. Before you do that I would swap the readers and see how each behaves in a different phone. If the culprit reader does not work, $10 on eBay or so. Utube for video instruction-it's ez peasy. Lastly unless you really have to avoid removing and re-inserting the sim card. something about that makes my device nuts.

I have tried the swap of the current Sim readers assembly with another Sim reader I have. and both Sim readers assembly are reading great on another test phone. Being that the hardware cross testing is showing that the Sim card and Sim card reader are in fact working and not the issue. This has lead me to do more research on the IMEI issues along with a possible missing EFS/bin files?? I didnt backup my phone EFS/bin files before unlocking which can cause the issue with the Sim card reading I am having...? still not sure tho..
I have learned that the IMEI hasn't been changed like I had thought tho..its the numbers after the / in the IMEI are just software revision numbers to reflect the software version.
Does anyone have any ideas where I can get the missing EFA / bin files > nv.log > nv_data.bin > nv_data.bin.md5
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to copy all the information stored on your SIM card to your phones memory and run it as a kind of "virtual SIM card" where your phone thinks it has a SIM but no actual card is inserted.
The reason I ask is because I have a T-Mobile G2X (LG-P999) and, as some of you may know, the SIM reader can become worn out and stop working on this model after some time. Mine is just starting to fail. Just to be clear, I've researched this particular issue and I know the things I can do to fix it; I'm not looking for advice on how to fix that problem.
It just occurred to me that If I could somehow copy my SIM info to the phone itself and eliminate the need for the physical card, I could bypass the issue altogether. It also might come in handy in the future if I ever had a similar situation. I realize it's probably a long shot, but I figured Id ask if anyone know if this kind of thing is possible? And if so, how I would go about doing it?
