Hello everyone. I have photon 4G from USA and after full flashing ROM 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5 and last OTA update is appear the problem with GSM/UMTS sim-card - phone is not detecting it after first manual reboot. Only after wipe data the sim-card is detecting but after reboot problem is repeating. What's wrong ?
The sim-card is new, on the another devices it is work.
My flashing order: wipe (all cash), flashing 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5 via RSD_lite, wipe (all cash), OTA update, wipe (all cash).
Manual changing in the system after done: root AIO method, freezing all apps with "sprint" and "social" in the title.
Please give me advice or some help.
When you say the Photon isn't detecting your SIM card, what do you mean? It says "Insert SIM" when you boot up?
It doesn't

No, sim-card already inside (i don't eject it before flashing) and it working fine until the phone will be rebooted first.
What makes you say it isn't detecting the SIM card?

Icon in the status bar (sim card with exclamation mark), no signal and sim card does not ask for the unlock code as usual (PIN).
Update: Flash the last ota for RSD - problem still there is.
Have you tried inserting a different SIM? Or removing and then re-inserting the current SIM?

I've tried both. Tried 4 different sim. It works only with old sim with large field of contact (all new small). I don't understand why.
Update №1: No, another sim with big field of contact is not working too (Vodafone europe).
Update №2: The problem with all SIM cards.
Perhaps the official update (full ROM) contain some lock for non-sprint SIM ?
It is highly unlikely.
Perhaps it's a faulty SIM reader?

It is difficult ... Motorola does not supply their own phones in Russia there is no authorized services (services may decline). But I will try.
I wiped the SIM reader through alcohol and SIM card was found. I do not know for how long.
Update: Not long - already end.

Via ebay (devices_now_inc seller). Without sprint SIM. I have only GSM/UMTS SIM (Russian and Chech).
The problem was desided (i hope). Problem was in the non-work SIM-lock dialog after reboot (perhaps because of the freeze some stock's app, I don't know), phone don't asked the pin-code automatically and SIM stay lock everytime. Just go to the phone menu / Settings / Location & security / Set up SIM card lock / Lock SIM card (make it unmark) - enter PIN-code (if you have) and forget about locked GSM/UMTS SIM on your phone. I hope it will be helpfull for somebody.

I haven't had any problems with this phone and even made a few calls an hour ago, but now it shows a message 'no sim card ' I have reseated the sim card and restarted the phone a few times yet I still get the message. Any ideas?
One more thing, just found the sim says it is locked. Nobody had access to lock it and I haven't set that up.

Since you have provided absolutely zero information about what you have done meanwhile, I assume the SIM simply died. In case you have flashed something like baseband or ROM, next time tell us.

For unlocking an already locked SIM, you need PUK, not PIN.
Some more information :
Phone is on Telus. Not rooted or anything. I have not updated the phone, but it is on 2.2.1. I was not running a program when this occurred, I made a call then picked up the phone 20mon later, and I got the message. Also, I have tried 1234 and that did not unlock the sim. I have never locked the sim before.
Call your operator... do not see what you would solve here.
I have bought a new Xperia Ray ST18a from Telus (Canada). I have successfully unlocked it using a code, called my voice mail without a problem. Then I downloaded Sony's PC companion to verify if the phone's software was up to date. When the update was finish, I tried to make another call and noticed the "Emergency Calls only. No Sim Card" message.
I used the Sim card in my old phone and it worked. I used another Sim card in my Ray, the 'No Sim card Message' was still there.
I sent the phone to Sony for repair and came back with again the same problem.
Anybody have a clue what is wrong with the phone?

It's locked again
They have network locked your phone again. As for the SIM problem, maybe the phone/SIM contacts aren't clean enough. I don't think it's related to the network lock/unlock.

Thanks for the reply.
I have checked the contacts and even applied pressure on them when the phone was restarting. Same results.
How can you tell it's network locked again?
With which code did you unlock?
Does any other SIM card work?
According to the Network value, seems like the SIM-lock is still there...Is the phone branded?

Yes it's a branded phone.
I tried another SIM card from another cell phone and I'm still having the same message.
I bought an unlock code from a unlocking service from the internet.
Learned something yesterday!
Not all cell phones can prevent the insertion of the SIM card the wrong way!
On the Ray you can insert the card the wrong way and you will be able to install the battery and cover perfectly. I have re-inserted the SIM card in the right position and the "No SIM card" message disappeared and was able to unlock it with the same previous code. All is now fine.
I don't mind looking like a foul and hope this thread will help somebody else.
Thank you for trying to help.

I would check to be sure sim is completely inserted, it should lock into place and need to be pushed in further to eject it.
Similar to the way some micro SD card slots work.

Just restore it to stock JB. Info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946 Look in the FAQ section. Although it might just be a bad sim card. It may be worth just walking into AT&T and asking to switch your number to a new one. If that still doesn't work, then just LGNPST.

It shouldn't be but it could be a sign to internal damage. The door keeps out dust, lint, and other small objects (coins and keys) from breaking the contacts inside. You may be looking at hardware damage.

All that is, is the phone detecting an object being pushed in. It still won't see that "that object" is a sim card until it reboots.

It is probably software related. I was just saying there is a possibility it is hardware related since the sim cover is broken. You won't know until you flash back to stock. Also, does your phone show an IMEI number? Check in settings>about phone>phone identity. Dont post the IMEI, just check to see if there is a number. I ask because my EFS partition got messed up once on another phone and it too wasn't recognising the sim.

Thats normal. The phone will still operate without a sim card. All the network (Edge, GSM, LTE) will still function. This is so that you can still use your phone to make emergency calls. Basically, the problem can only be a few things.
1. Software related (Solution: flash back to stock)
2. Sim Card related (S: get a new sim card)
3. Hardware related (S: repair/replace the phone)
You'll figure it out. Just narrow it down one by one. :good:
Edit: Before you restore stock, why not just try a factory reset. It wouldn't hurt. Backup just in case.

Guys I have a strange problem my razr wont connect to any of the data 2g or 3g only on custom roms like 4.4 Kitkat,Carbon rom etc . I flashed them on slot 1,2 even on stock slot but no luck.. I tried to change Baseband But It always failed So guys help me.....
Edit 11.12.2013:::
I fixed the problem partially..
I fixed the network mess It was bad radio which did this all I flashed ICS radio and now network works fine in all roms (Stock and Custom) BuT bo mobile data on any of them
Edit::::
Now Phone says NO SERVICE on both stock And custom rom but reads sim card contacts & SMS's...
I tried reflashing stock rom But no success. Help me guys...
2g/3g for many of the newer roms has been a problem with both the XT910 and XT912. I know with cyanogenmod 10.2 I'm still not able to connect to 2g/3g although LTE does work. With the newest release of cyanogenmod 11 though I do get 3g and LTE, although some people have been reporting they are not. Seems it's headed in the right direction. Give the latest CM11 build a shot and see if it works for you.

Can you make a call? Did you have paid the SIM card cost?
Sorry for my bad English
Yup my SIM is in contract and working on other phones I can make and receive calls but not on razr I get NO SERVICE message
Open the phone (or dialer, whatever you would like to call it) and Dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to Phone Information and tell us what the preferred network is.
--
Also:
What ROM did you get LTE Only on?
I learned that sometimes ROMs can mess up NV's. The only way of fixing this is to wipe everything and start fresh. And when you are flashing you cannot downgrade, it will fail every time. You may already know what I am telling you but just in case.
And what carrier are you with?

I purchase a new microSIM & also did a data / factory rest from phone boot option ( u know from tht recovery option comes after rebooting in boot seq mode) to solve the problem but no positive result ... though i found one thing if u go to settings -> more -> mobile networks-> select network ... there you'll find 3 option
1) 2G only
2) 3G only
3) automatic default
well by 1st option works it given me range ... doesn't show no service or emergency calls but 2nd & 3rd option gives me same problem " NO SERVICE " or " EMERGENCY CALL "

Hi. I have XT910 for more than two years. After brought the phone from Australia to Hong Kong (use Hong Kong SIM card) and back to Australia (replace SIM card with Aus one), I have the same problem as you. Phone can make voice call, but no mobile data connection (3G, 2G).
