Problem with GSM - "The SIM card is missing" - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading

Hello. I have a problem again with GSM, it's driving me nuts.
Yes, second problem in two months, although this one is different from the previous one.
"The SIM card is missing".
PK 2.0 used, re-flashed, three different radios, tried to unlock again just in case, back to 1.50 - nothing.
The fault happened after I've finally managed to enable and use VOIP mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316147
I had some problems activating it, I had to save the settings and reset the unit a couple of times before it worked. It did work, I tried to use the phone again - "The SIM card is missing". :/
Radio reports GSM hardware ok, the phone will dial 112, but that's about it.
All the rest works - WiFi, GPS, etc.
Anybody knows how to hard-reset or even better - diagnose the phone? Re-flashing ROM doesn't seem to do the trick.
If I can't solve it - it's service AGAIN and AGAIN why I didn't have the original simlocked ROM on it... sigh...

Maybe it's silly problem ( bad contact/broken) , always small sticker on SIMCard can help for better contact.

Alas, this doesn't seem to be the reason, although thx for pointing it out, I didn't think about the obvious.

i have an advantage x7501 with the same problem on my att sim card it doesn't work but i have other att sim cards which it does work with. i noticed the design of the chip and noticed the ones that do work are all the same design. Anyone have thoughts on this issue.

Didn't AT&T take over Cingular? but they still show as roaming? My guess is that the SIM that isn't recognised is trying to connect to one of their (still seperate) networks and the ones that work are connecting to the other.
If I'm correct then all you need to do is SIM unlock your ohone and all should be OK.

I did run the athena unlocker already but still that sim card does not recognize. thanks for your input

You ran all three steps? I assume the SIM that doesn't work in your Athena does work in other phones?
What bands does the X7501 run on? Could iyt be that the SIM that doesn't work is locked to a band that's not supported? (850Mhz?)

Dual Sim for Athena

I have been trying to use a dual sim adaptor with Athena but would not boot with it on. Anybody had any success? It will be great for me to be able to use both 3 and standard without removing the sim. it is a pain to remove it on Athena as this is under battery and sometimes needs a flat screwdriver to remove it...

Do you mean dual SIM or dual SD?
Dual sim of course not dual SD
Well, i've got an old DualSIM adaptor (anlog) which worked fine on my Himalaya.
My Athena boots without problems when i use this adaptor, but it takes me 3 or 4 restarts of the phone to get the DualSIM adaptor changin the SIM.
But i guess i have some issues with my SIMCards, they really look screwed up, makes me wonder why they work anyway
Maybe a newer Radio could have an impact on this Issue too.
Right now i use Radio 1.50 and AP Dual PK3.
If your SIMCards are screwed up the Athena won't boot, also my SIMAdaptor needs both SIMCards entered. With only one SIMCard in it, the Athena won't boot.
BTW: SIMDisplay (can be found on sourceforge.net) is the perfect Todayscreen Plugin for Displaying the active SIM.
I have one running but ...
finally I obtained a Simore dual sim working. But my problem is due I have one line for voice and other one for data, if should be possible to have some mechanism that in base to which sim is activated obtaining working the data connection or not. Do you know if it is possible?
Hi Beginner. Could you please post the model info of the Simore dual SIM you found worked with Athena? I'm currently looking for one. Thanks.

The Connection Setup Wizard will detect the network that you've just switched to and offer to set your data connection to match it. It'll do that every time the network changes.
If you're looking to buy a SIMore dual SIM adapter for the Athena, DON'T. The SIMore dual SIM won't let you connect to WCDMA network so you won't be able to use HSDPA or 3G!!!! I bought one from them and in the process of getting an RMA to return this piece of junk back to them now. Their online ad is fraudulent when they say it's 3G compatible. It is not. It only let you connect to GSM which only offers up to EDGE.
Is there any dual SIM adapter that will let you connect at 3G speeds out there?
PS: If you're only using EDGE at the moment and don't think you will ever never for the rest of your life upgrading to HSDPA, then by all means, flush your money down the toilet and buy this expensive piece of junk.
Thanks for the warning. Thought it was useful to have.
no dual sim
shame there is none yet. it will be great to have a truely dual phone. Networks will hate it
I think it could be posible but not easy to create a soft sim somehow. instead of having to change my three.co.uk hdspa compat sim between Athena (why the hack they do not do the sim reader as a slot accessible without removing battery) and my mac laptop is a nightmare. I tried to use Wifirouter, but it crashes athena quite often.

Under the factory ROM I never had it crash, even with hours of use at one time. I haven't used it under AP4 yet. Maybe you have a conflict with another program?

Iam not sure what are you explaining.
are you using a dual sim system?
does it works? which is it?
thanks.
i tried using few none worked. I find very difficult in swaping sims without the add o a flat screwdriver, also removing battery is not fun.
I am wondering if it will be possible in developing a virtual sim card that will copy the info from our sim card allowing the phone to work with it?

Can anyone help? - No Signal

Hi folks, can anyone please help me with this problem?
My brother in law has asked me to look at his S740. He has tried several o2 SIM cards (UK) in this phone but always gets told there is no signal.
Not only that, but there is a symbol where the strength meter should be that isn't documented in the user guide.
He has also tried my o2 (3G) sim and a Vodafone sim, both UK.
Any advice gratefully recieved. We have tried several hard resets also.
Thanks
This means it's looking for signal. My guess: Still SIM-locked?

Not sure if it's SIM locked as there is a menu to select which carrier to use.
It reads the SIM correctly and sets it all up for o2, but just doesnt get any signal.
Does anyone know where the GSM antenna is on these? Maybe its a bad connection.
UPDATE:
I've had a mail back from HTC that recommends I send it in for repair, lol.
Now do I take it they are robbing buggers or do I take it that the icon is an indicator of a hardware fault??
Hmmmm, dilemma. lol
Are there any more suggestions on what it may be?
Has anyone successfully taken one of these apart?
it may be because of a hardware error...try to connect to a wifi network...if it impossible to find a wifi network then it is due to a harware problem.Most likely because the FR coaxial cable is out of its possision...download the service manual and see how to fix it.

Hi sasiskas, it conects fine to my wireless network at home. I take it from your response that the cable serves a double purpose.
I downloaded the service manual so I could take a look, but only got as far as removing the 4 screws at the back. lol, I couldn't figure out how to get it off, lol
I'm still stuck at the assumption that it is indeed SIM locked, and so will try to find a suitable card to try out.

Try contacting with your phone's provider (shop,e-bay seller whoever it is) and ask him details about the sim.Good luck.
hey
im getting the same issue on my girlfriends rose
the hardspl is out now and i have tried to flash the rom to see if this helps but nothing as of yet, it could be the radio rom its self as i have a touch pro and when i first got it it was the same till i flashed a cooked rom onto it, its now working fine for me,
if i find out how to fix this i will leave ya a post

Thanks. I have tried the same but just keep getting a vender ID, (lol spelling), error.
I would appreciate any input whether you have success or not, it just may spark an idea off.
I cant get in touch with any sales or provider as it was gifted to my bro in law. He's not that bothered about it but would like to have it working if he can.
Thanks folks.
Hey! I think I know the solution to your problem...I had exactly the same problem when I hardReseted my phone.
Go to "Start-settings-Phone-Band Select"
and then select
1.Network type : Auto
2.Band Type : "Euro" if you live in Europe, "US" if you live in USA , or "Japan" if you live in Japan.
Good luck...Let us know if it worked!

Yes that is a good suggestion because the phone will display that icon if it can't find a *usable* network, be it that the SIM doesn't allow it or if the bands don't match the selection on the phone or the bands are not usable by the phone hardware etc.
I would suggest downloading & running HTC Field Test (fieldtest.exe) with & without a SIM installed, with each network & band setting & see if it shows any towers or signal. (Normally you want Auto for both but you may not have that option or you might prefer to set to a KNOWN working band to conserve battery & minimize searching) If should show something even without SIM or with SIM lock because it's supposed to support emergency calls either way. If it shows signals with SIM but you still have same no service icon then it's likely SIM locked (although the phone should alert you to that fact) so odds are the phone hardware, rom or settings do not support whatever signals are available to you. (Btw if field test shows N/A for all the values you need to app unlock your phone)
Hope that helps.
Bill
can you share a link with HTC Field Test?Thnx
Search is your friend.

Hey all I'm having a very similar problem.
Had my HTC for some months now but in the past few days I've found that my network signal is becoming very unpredictable.
I'm also on O2 and I used to have a pretty contstant H (I presume HSDPA) connection.
Howeever im finding now the phone with go from H to 3G to GPRS to E to no signal in the course of 5 mines and round and round again!
Its very annoying as it means I cant make / received calls or texts fluently and even cut me off on a phone call too.
However usually on phone calls it will keep me connected ok till I hang up and then go to no signal.
I've checked the wireless and it is picking up networks..
Any other suggestions? I will try the field test tomorrow...
PS I know its not the network as my work blackberry is O2 and is not having this issue..
Cheers in advance!
Well, just to close my input on this thread.
I tried various ROM's available from this site and none worked.
I did try the band selection settings but still a no go.
I did have limited success but overall, nothing. The phone has now gone back to the person who asked me to look into it and to my knowledge he is going to sell it to one of these phone reclaim companies.
I did check and one place, I think through the post office, is offering £80 ish so not bad I suppose.
Anyway, thank you to all who have made suggestions and wotnot. Personally I'm still happy with an old Nokia 6300 and my Wizard (Mini-S)
Thanks folks.

1. Has this situation been occuring since the beginning? I mean , have you ever connected to the network?
2. Is your phone simlocked? If not , I'd suggest you to check if another sim card (preferably another company) works properly. If works , try changing the sim card first.
No Network
Hi,
Im also struggling with the same problem, its most frustrating being without the fundamental function of a mobile phone. Im on O2. It all started when 2.1 updated on my X10, since then my phone doesnt connect to O2 network.
Ive tried removing the sim, cleaning etc. then putting back in.
Tried swapping my sim with a friend (same network), no problem with the sim.
Just tried re-booting my phone (re-updating), no joy.
The last resort i guess before sending it in to O2 is to throw out of the window?
Any ideas?
Thanks
p.s. new HD camera does nothing but 'force close'.
thx for replay
my phone unlocked n and am try another simcard with another company its woks n am check my sim card in another phone its not work
first am got update (change region nomber method) befor 4 days ago n its work with me after update without problem but yesterday am not there is no network
i feel like my sim card banned from virign network so i don't know where is the problem in my sime card or in virgin network but am not feel i have problem in my phone coz its work with another sim card n my sim not work in another phone.

I remember somebody had problems with new iPhone and old original ATT SIM-cards. ATT just gave a new SIM-card - it was a kind of incompability. Maybe you should go to Virgin tech guys and ask them to fix the problem.
I have strange thing with my phone when it was locked - I used old proxy-SIM and it worked fine with 1.6, but after I flashed it up to 2.1 it worked around 16 hours and eventually told me that there is no service - just like yours. Nobody had similar experience, but look like strange things are possible with those really smart phones. After unlocking - no problems for now.

I don't think, the X10 can damage SIM-card since SE always targets world market and takes in attention any regional differences. Virgin is not a real carrier, it is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) and uses Orange network as an underlying carrier. The last resort is to claim that you lost you phone (with the SIM card, of course) and ask for replacement. They can charge you (I used to pay $25 for T-Mobile USA in the nearest dealer shop, but didn't do any research since I needed the phone badly).
There is another possibility - as I know, ATT automatically changes the plan for their subscribers to a data-plan that is obviously more expensive as they recognize the new phone as a smartphone. It is weird practice, but see - it is possible, so be sure what's going on with your carrier.

[Q] Need help, bricked/nonworking WIFI after succesful sim-unlock

Hi guys,
i used a sim unlock code to unlock the ATT locked Atrix 4g, for use with a european sim card (mobitel, slovenia). it unlocked fine and i could call, but the wifi stopped working it just didnt scan/find or even connect to remembered wifis (home router), which worked perfectly before the unlock. so than i thought it might help to factory reset it, and now the problem persists and i cant even finish the wizard, cuz it wouldnt connect to the cellular (which we have 2g and 3g here) and the wifi has the same problems (so initially it finds all wlans, than after like a few secs it looses them all, i can turn off the wifi and turn it on again and the same thing happens). so i am wodering if anyone has any idea how i could rescue the phone ...
thanks in advance
ok guys i did a hard reset and put in a nonworking sim (doesnt connect to network) and i got the wifi back to working and managed to activate motoblur again. so after that ive put my working sim card in again (3g+ hsdpa+ able), and the wifi stops to work again/behaves the same as i described before. terrible ... anyone has an idea how to fix that ?
ok, more problems, now after ive put the working sim inside and the wifi stopped working, i tried with the nonworking sim (that wifi worked great before with), and the wifi isnt working with the sim it was working before either and even if i try without any sim it doesnt work... ill try with a third sim now and if it wont work ill hard reset it again
Same problem
I have the same exact issue. Anyone know what to do? I can't imagine that this is "bricked" because everything else works fine... thoughts?
where did you guys get the unlock code from?
Actually, I have a similar problem. After entering unlock code the phone accepts my SIM card, but I cannot activate 3G connection. GSM is working, try to call my other phone. APN settings are correct.
In the "hidden" settings menu (*#*#4636#*#*) I cannot chose between radio bands, but only the USA radio band.
Any ideas? Will I need to root it or even put a custom ROM (if it exists)?
So you guys used an unlock code from someone other than the carrier and are now having issues?
Wish I could help on this one. If you used an unlock code from someone other than the carrier, I would contact motorola support.
If you used a piece of software, I would wager that the software broke something and you might as well warranty return it for another.

Don't be offended, but I don't think this is the case. AT&T locked their phone to their network with standard network code (as seen in many other phones for years) so that "alien" SIM card would not work. But, additionally, since the AT&T has some value added services on their data plan (like wifi tethering) they made some accommodations (read: locked parts of the android configuration).
I am not a developer, this is just my guess, but it seams sane and probable.

No offense taken. This is why I asked about a program. Using an unauthorized code to unlock it may over write a.setting or file. Its also possible that someone broke something using adb.

can you guys tell us what website you use to get your unlock codes from so we can avoid them? thanks
man.. this forum is dead.
even the OP stopped coming here to check his post :/
Based on your replies, I'm guessing you've never unlocked a phone before...
Unlocking a phone to be used for a different carrier affects nothing else but the ability to only use the SIM Card of the carrier you bought the phone from.
To unlock a carrier-locked Motorola phone, you simply need a "Network Unlock PIN" which is an 8 or 16 digit code that you enter to unlock the phone to any network. There is no software installation ivolved in the process.
A 3G issue will occur when your carrier doesn't support the 3G bands that the Atrix supports. Which would be: 850/1900/2100. If your carrier doesn't use any of these bands for their 3G network, then of course you are going to have 3G issues.
The Wi-Fi problem that the OP is having may be as simple as him having an antenna QA issue. But it could never be the Unlock Code.
Unlocking your phone and using another carrier other than AT&T has nothing to do with Wi-Fi issues...

I got my unlock code from cellunlock.net. It unlocked my phone just fine. Don't use that as a reason to avoid cellunlock.net. Unlocking is unlocking.
I have swapped back and forth between my prepaid sim and My AT&T SIM about 5 times so far.
WiFi disconnects almost immediately when I try to connect with my prepaid sim inserted, but I can make calls. (Atrix also displays H+, which can't be right)
With my AT&T sim everything works fine, solid as a rock.
I may do a factory reset to test things, but I have a feeling it has something to do with drivers or the network stack on the atrix, or perhaps because my prepaid sim has no data plan. It certainly isn't a hardware problem with the antenna. I am afraid to do a factory reset on the atrix while I am out of the country, considering that it requires network access to unlock itself.
To the original poster:
When you put a non-connected SIM into the phone, if you do a power reset again, the wifi comes back up solid again.
Also, is there some way we can request a merge of these two threads?

I was merely suggesting that it could be a multitude of things, but never the unlocking code or the process of unlocking itself.
Also, it can't be your SIM because your SIM has nothing to do with Wi-Fi. If we were talking about GSM and 3G then SIM cards come into play. Other than that, no way.
Have you tried using the phone without a SIM? Do you get the same problems?

I was merely suggesting that it could be a multitude of things, but never the unlocking code or the process of unlocking itself.
Also, it can't be your SIM because your SIM has nothing to do with Wi-Fi. If we were talking about GSM and 3G then SIM cards come into play. Other than that, no way.
Have you tried using the phone without a SIM? Do you get the same problems?

I agree that it has nothing to do with the SIM or unlocking.
I just tested. I get the same problem with no SIM inserted. Screw it.. doing a factory reset and seeing what happens.
Edit:
Still does the same thing. But now I have to re-activate app sideloading.
Also, you can reactivate over wifi, which is nice.

[Q] perhaps a new TG01 user

Hi,
Since my HTC universal broke the LCD I start to find a replacement.
I found a friend who have a TG01 with no use... and he borrowed the device before I buy it.
I am running with the device since last Sunday, and I must say that the cons of this device (battery), for me it´s ok (4h30) of use (mix of calls, emails, etc).
I can not reach this time with my HTC
I had found some "problems" but already solved, using search in here.
But, on other side, I have some problems that I could not found the solution.
1. I can not put the device in 3G, only in 2G (I try changing in appropriate settings zones).
If I put in "automatic".... always in 2G and my home area have 3G.
So I decided to leave the device with GSM only.
2. Some cases, when I make/receive a phone call, the others persons inform me that
they can not hear me correctly (like I have poor signal, but the times I could check the
signal, it was full).
3. I use the TG01, with a bluetooh car kit (he did not access the contacts in the phone)
Works fine, but yesterday I found that the TG01 was "frozen" several times in the
day...???
In the evening I found that the freeze are related with bluetooh connections to the car
kit. Connecting/disconnecting.
The 3 problems that I have should be related to radio version???
I have:
software 5005.0000.0171 SP-00
radio version 5005.0000.0171
Thanks

Hi,
Yes your problems are from the radio version and from your carrier nerwork!
I have the same problem in Romania because i have more phones and also 3 carriers.
In one case, I use this phone with the Cosmote carrier from Romania it gave me the same problem as you have (the Cosmote carrier has two networks- one for GSM (2G) and one for 3G). Because the two internal network my phone see that i am in roming and give all that problems!
I installed the Feropont rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969087 )and it works ok by now, Mirolg roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906969)was also ok for me untill a point (is with Sense)!
Another rom I tried is fxdjacentfxd (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993343) (best free memory) unfortunatly it gave me an error because of the carrier and i changed.

Thanks very much!!!
for the links.....
I installed feropont rom !!!
Looks fine, but still have the problem of 3G...
Tomorow I will check the sound!!!
Thanks again!!
Perhaps I quit!!!
Hi,
Well, I try radio 1600 and now 300.
In this weekend, 1600 still have bad quality sound (people can not hear me very well).
In this morning (early) I flash again the same rom with radio changed for 300, but still haven´t 3G (for my experience I think I will have sound problem).
Today before flashing I put another SIM card (vodafone) and ... I have 3G, after changing the settings.
I leave the settings in HSPAD, put my TMN sim card ..... and no signal!!! (like usual).
My SIM card what is giving me "problems" had +- 4 months.
(Had 3G in the HTC Universal, with same card).
So, my problems could be in the SIM card (I think not)? what did you say?
After flash and reflash and because I use TG01 for professional use....
Pherhaps I quit!!
Thanks to everyone!!!

I told you!
The problem consist in the equipment carrier use! Vodafone use Ericsson devices and Orange use Alcatel stuff, but other carrier could use other equipment and from here comes the errors.
I don't think that the error comes from your SIM card !
I think the error come from the radio in your phone witch is not adequate with the carrier equipment. So my advice is keep looking for another radio! Try 1700!

Your Right Rila, the problem could also be in the TG01.
But my SIM card, in my wife phone or in another phone with 3G could not "enter" in 3G.
(I did not use 3G in my HTC universal, the sound also wasn´t good, but I always think it was for my blue tooth car kit or bad signal reception)
The same with my old Qtek S200(who don´t have 3G only GSM)
The sim had 4 months old.
For future "helps" I try 1600;300 and now 321.
I am waiting news from the operator.
First I must have a SIM that in other phones, work in 3G, after that, let´s test in TG01
I will post the news
(I must admitted I star to get TG01 addicted )
Perhaps I do not quit!!!
Ok!
In my break launch, I go to a store from my carrier!
They did found one problem, in my "service"!
After 30 minutes they call me and ask to reset the device ( they know it was a Windows mobile phone).
After reset, I select hspda settings and I have now 3G.
I put again the Tg on GSM only ( for saving battery).
In +- 10 calls no one has inform me they can not hear me well.
It´s soon too say that the problem it´s SOLVED but it´s looking good
Another think that I noted is that I have 1H55 m with 70% remaining battery.
