[Q] No SIM's are supported by my HTC touch - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
My HTC touch shows me that the SIM card operator is not supported and gives invalid SIM error. I have taken it to the HTC service center and they advised me to not to experiment on it as the network is locked. This mobile is from US. Earlier I used this mobile for one week and later this happened. After going through this site I have checked the IMEI number and I found that the mobile displays a different number than the one on the battery cover.
Please advise me on this as I am very new to work on such mobiles.
Regards

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.

me too i think i have problem with my sim card, am already contacted the service clients but not solution till now !!!!!
i think after update, x10 will made variation of m-voltage which supported to sim cards, so directly burned( if the variation of voltage related with used area of sim-cards ,that's depends on our operators)

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.
please help me with network problem

sarcasim is a good thing but maybe you aren't comprehending what i am saying duhh!!
i own NSPRO box and have unlocked the galaxy S phones quite frequently, the phone is sim unlocked for any sim card or gsm carrier, what i am saying has nothing to do with unlocking with the sim card in( which i tried for ****s and giggles). the problem is the vibrant is not recognized on the network , i have tried my sim and several other t-mobile sims the phone doedn't receive signal on t-mobile network or simple mobile( which is a NVO of t-mobile)so what i am asking is does t-mobile block imei's from their network and is their a solution other then changing imei of the phone which i do not wish to do although i can change imei i will not since it is illegal.
the problem
let me clarify it actually says on the screen
"not registered on network"
anyway to register it on system???
its unlocked and works on at&t, h2o and all other gsm carriers except t-mobile and simple mobile
clone another imei, that will solve this problem, There is an app that allows you to give you a new I D # to your phone
I am same problem here everytime try to make call it says "Not Registered on the Network", SIM card works fine on different phone, also other SIM when inserted on Vibrant gives same message.
Under Settings> Wireless> Mobile network settings does not allow access...
Can someone help resolve this situation.
Thanks,
I am also
having the same problem. I purchased a used Vibrant from my friend whom defaulted on his bill so he sold his phone to me. When I attempt to use the T Mobile prepaid SIM or a regular T Mobile SIM it will not allow me to connect to the network. It stays on (Searching) or (No Service) but the date and time updates so I know it is connecting, just not able to use the network. Is there anyway to get around this problem or do I need to root and unlock to go to another carrier?
Hi guys I am having similar issue, please help
I was using bionix 1.3.1 by team whiskey, whats your advice do I change to ICS, will that solve the problem or simple radio upgrade will solve the matter? I have gone through several sites and found that this problem is with many android mobiles since last 2-3 years. Is there no solution to this yet! I have tried Airplane mode, removing battery, downloading autocut and all those basic methods but to no help ...
I have the same problem, did anybody find a solution?
I tried everything, flashed to stock, GB, ICS, JB.
My phone is unlocked and it only works on AT&T, the sim card is good, as I'm using it on my backup phone.

So you have a T-Mobile sim that won't work on a vibrant?

Same here. This all happened when I let my friend borrow my phone to put his SIM on it. It was a prepaid Simple Mobile SIM. It didn't work but after I went to put my SIM card back into my Vibrant, the phone never got service.
Funny thing is, my SIM works on one of my older phones, so I know the SIM still works, but my Vibe gets messages like "out of service" and "not registered on network" even through it still has some bars.
I think the problems relates to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37703090#post37703090
Somehow the bands on your device is messed up so you never get a signal. Not sure how to fix it but any solutions would be great.

HTC UK model Sim Locked with Three Mobile 3G Sim

Hello,
I managed to get a brand new UK Model HTC Flyer 32Gb on Ebay for£280. I was told it was sim-free.
Everything was fine until I put in a Three Mobile (3 UK) 3G Pay as you go sim and the HTC is telling me it is Sim Locked - please contact operator.
I have just paid £20 to MobileUnlocked.co.uk based on the IMEI number and 2 hrs of waiting no unlock code.
Does anyone know what the default UK Telco a HTC model direct from HTC would be locked to?
How many unlock attempts do I get on the HTC?
What happens if I go over the unlock try amount?
I've just done a hard-reset so at least the tablet is usable again, no longer prompting for SIM Network Unlock Code (8 digits).
Any advise please?
Thanks

They are not locked by default.

Unlimited on the device but usually three before the sim goes to network locked state.

You'll need the PUK corresponding to the sim to unlock the sim.

It is unclear whether the device is sim locked or the sim card is locked out if you can clarify that situation then it might be possible to help.
I have put both a 3UK sim and also a O2 sim into the HTC, each time it is asking for a network unlock code. Unless I do a hard reset it stays on the unlock request screen become unusable.
I think on that basis (but I am unsure) I think the device is sim locked to a specific UK based network.
Right all sorted - just to avoid confusion (because I was confused!) my HTC had a network lock so that only a certain sim from a UK telco would work.
Finally got the 8 digit unlock code and both my 3Uk and O2UK sim work on the HTC now.
Thanks

I've got the same problem,how did you get the 8 digit unlock code,thanks.
I had to pay £20 and provide IEMI number to mobileunlocked.co.uk
There are other SIM lock unlockers out there just need to search on google.
(Admin not sure if link allowed so delete if necessary regarding above).
Hi,
We just wanted to post a public apology for the delay that 87k experienced with their order. Usually our HTC unlock codes do take just a matter of minutes, but their order did take a while longer because of delays with our supplier.

[Q] Not Registered on Network

Hi all. Just after a little help if possible.
Bought a 2nd hand S2 and was told it was locked to Virgin, before I bought it I made sure I saw the buyer make a call with the Virgin SIM on the phone.
I downgraded from ICS to 2.3.5, rooted the phone and used unlock tool from Market to unlock the phone. Tried several SIM cards in the phone, but I cannot connect to any mobile networks. In Phone Status, it shows phone number, signal strength etc but when I try and make a call is shows ‘Not Registered on Network’
I went out and bought a PAYG Virgin SIM card as I thought the unlock may not have worked correctly and exact same thing happens. Put the Virgin SIM in my unlocked HTC Desire and works fine. So, its deffo the phone that has the problem. I checked the IMEI number online to see if it had been blocked but it looks ok.
Any thoughts??
Thanks in advance.
Hi
A few things to check/try -
Does the IMEI number displayed by typing *#06# into the dialer match the IMEI number on the back of the phone (Under the battery)?
When you put a sim card in (other than Virgin) do you get a message from the phone asking for a network unlock code?
Does the network name of the Sim card appear in the status bar?
Which app did you use to unlock the phone? I've used Galaxy_S unlocker several times without any issue. (I install a ginger bread rom first, then insecure kernel, then root, then run Galaxy_S Unlock)

Check ur imei no dial *#06#
verify that imei no with the one beneath ur battery
if it same then try flashing the stock rom again and root it and try unlocking again using the unlock soft from play store
Yes, the IMEI number matches so no problem there. Have been onto several free IMEI check sites to see if the IMEI number is blocked and it shows as not being blocked. How reliable these sites are I do not know...
No, no unlock message comes on. However, I locked the phone again when rooted and put the Virgin SIM in, which it should be locked to so should work, and I got a SIM unlock message? So, when the phone is locked, it does ask for unlock code, when unlocked using the app, lock code doesn't appear.
I do not get the name of the network in the status bar. When I look at the phones status, it does show a signal strength, and I do sometimes get signal bars but when I try and use the phone I get 'Not registered on network'
I used Galaxy_S app and did everything that you have done!
Have tried flashing stock rom, rooting and unlocking and nothing seems to work.
Worried that I may have bought a nice, expensive media player...
If your IMEI matches up with the one under the battery then I really don't know why you can't get a signal. Maybe someone else on here will give you some better advise. It sounds to me like you did everything right. The obvious thing would be if the phone is on the blacklist (stolen phone, or reported as stolen, 2 different things!). I wasn't aware of any sites that can tell you if the phone is reported as stolen so can't comment on how accurate they are.
Hope you get it sorted, it's the best phone out there at the moment so would be a shame if you can't make calls on it.
have you tried with diferent modem? or diferent rom?? or both at the same time?
for the modem try KI3 or KI4, seems to work pretty fine for almost everyone..
have you tried
hi have you tried going to
settings>wireless and network>mobile network>network operators
and checking the settings in there are set to autoselect network.
if this does'nt work +1 for all posts below.
hope it does.
also not sure but i think sim lock is set in security settings and the pasword for unlocking is stored on the sim that password was put on. anyone feel free to correct if this statement is wrong. many thanks

Got Scammed with htc raider but can i fix it

Hi
i bought a htc raider from kijiji locked with rogers. the person who gave me the phone told me that it is locked with rogers so at the spot i just checked the functions like wifi etc and nothing much. after when i inserted the rogers sim card it did not recognize the sim card and still said no service. there were not signals coming and there was a cross on top of the bars. i tried it with other rogers sim card and the same problem. went to setting about phone network and every thing was disabled . i reset and hard reset but the same problem. i tried to get the imei number by pressing *#06# it just showed the letters"IMEI" but there were no numbers beneath it. i went to setting to check the imei number but nothing was mentioned there either. there was a imei number pasted on the rogers box and under the battery so i called up rogers to ask about the phone and they said it was refurbished phone and it is out of warranty so they cannot help me out.
is it a possibility that the guy tried to unlock the phone and could not do it correctly. is there any ways i can do some thing about the phone. every feature is working fine but the every thing related to calling features. its like now a ipod of android
please help me. if unlocking , unrooting is the option please tell me or paste a link to do that. if you require more information to resolve this issue please mention in the comments and i will let you guys know
thank you
