[Q] Official Sony ICS 4.1.B.0.431 SIM-Card problems - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Good morning all together,
since I updated my SK17i with the official ICS update, I have problem with my SIM card: Some times my phone tells me, that my SIM card was removed and that the phone has to be rebooted. Other times I wake up the screen an see, that it prompts me for my PIN. The phone looks like it rebooted on its own. Has anybody else of you this problems since the last update? Or is it just me an I should try a new clean install...
My config:
SK17i
4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431)
Kernel 2.6.32.9 Stock (no root)
Unlocked Bootloader (Testpoint)
Baseband .72
Thank you for your advice.

Insert the SIM card properly. It seems that the SIM card is not tproperly inserted in it's slot.
It's probably loose, causing it to come out just a little on it's own, and then again placing itself (due to movement of the phone). That's why it is asking you the PIN again and again.
If the problem persists after insterting the SIM properly, go for a clean install. It will make things perfectly alright.
Thanks,
Rick

If SIM card doesn't stay in place or the chip part has been scratched, take new one from your operator.

yes. my baseband is .71 ,my bootloader is locked, can i still flashed it? and how??
and i noticed when i inserted a sim it doesn't show insert sim card, and i cannot access the sim, (sim contacts doesn't show) so i think there's a problem reading with my sim card,..
hayy, i'm loosing hope to send it for repair or sell as defective :|
just an update..
i already flashed it to 2.1 still no luck,
flashed it to stock 2.3, rooted. still cannot read my sim card, i think it's a hardware problem.. :|

That's weird, I din meet suchprob when I was in x10s(perhaps u PM championswimmer).
Try remove ur simcard and use eraser rub ur card chip and put it back again. Probably can't read info/need time analyse.
And I confused...you said u were locked when x10s, but unlocked in docomo. What is ur current status actually? Try use S1Tool for identifying ur version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259617
If ur version is "R8**" instead of "r8**",means locked.

i already tried 5 sim cards and they are all working on another phone, my phone is from docomo and it's sim unlock and my bootloader is locked, i searched the net and it's "R8" i think it is unlocked by codes not thru a box,
is there any easy hardware fix could you provide or something? i also tried to replace a new sim card holder ( the whole sim card, memory slot, photo light assembly and problem still persist, hay..)
if u flash the original is it provided by docomo if yes then u can try flashing else if not then network might be locked !!
i already restore to wolf break rom, v6, still it cannot detect the som card, i already got it with that rom, and it worked fine, until it went to no service,.

No sim - insert sim card, help, any solutions

So i got my phone working (due to a helpful xda member)
flashed new firmware, but now i am getting NO SIM (even tried restoring old nandroid, and installing new rom, both same problem)
the thing is, it could be
EFS (didnt back it up, god dammit, never backed it up on s2) though IMEI is the same as phone *#06#
the micro sim slot (maybe i damaged it trying to get my old cut sim out of it before it stuffed up) 'is it easily damaged? could it be fixed?'
and nobody i know has a micro sim i could use to see if its my sim or damaged slot, or even software related
samsung, why you have to use MICRO SIM,
any solutions?
or should i just flash back to stock, and send it in for repair?
- i tried flashing a new modem via cwm (didnt work)
- factory reset (didnt work)
- phone company confirmed the sim is active (so its not the sim)
sorry for the recent questions, i never had any problems ever with my s2
You say IMEI is the same as the original .
Sim is activated but does it work in another phone ??? that is needed to rule out faulty sim card .
Does another sim work in the slot that is needed to rule out sim holder fault .

You should search mate.. seen this topic posted a number on times mate..

[Q] [P] Problem after upgrade - sim card not found

Hi there,
a friend of mine just got a used xperia p. He inserted his sim card and it worked.
After that he started the current software update. And here is the point. Right after the update no sim card is recognized any more - always says "please insert sim...".
Service menu says everything except sim is locked with 5 possible tries.
I just made a downgrade using flashtool which seemed to free the phone again according to service menu - but no sim card is detected.
An update using flashtool leads to the same problem (locked).
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.

tried reflashing, downgrading, nothing helped.
did you find any fix?
please try with different sim and post if it works or not.
Tried with 3 different cards of different providers. No Solution yet - any idea?

I9100 No SIM card/no IMEI/Unknown Baseband

Hi!
So I have this problem with my Samsung Galaxy SII that it doesn't recognize the SIM card for the most of the time. When this problem started, the phone was completely stock (Not rooted/Not a single flashing made by me). Android version was the latest official 4.1.2.
Problem description:
I could be using the phone completely normally and then suddenly it reports that there is no SIM card. Now with pulling out and putting back the SIM card and rebooting couple of times, it might recognize the SIM card again and work for a while (few hours).
What I've tried to fix this:
1. Tried the SIM card on another phone, it worked perfectly.
2. Tried another SIM card on my S2, didn't work any better.
3. I thought that as the warranty is over, I might aswell just root my S2 and install the CyanogenMod 12.1 and check if this fixes the problem (Well it didn't).
4. I saw that my IMEI number shows nothing so I did this: [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps..
Well step 4 didn't bring back the IMEI number but now after rebooting a couple of times when I got my SIM card to be recognized again and then checked the IMEI, it was correct. Though the SIM card wasn't detected after a while again.​5. Well now I flashed back the original Android 4.1.2 and checked the IMEI number (SIM not detected), it showed "null/null".
6. I went back to CyanogenMod 12.1 and saw that when it's showing blank IMEI, it's also showing "Baseband version: Unknown.
7. Flashed a new Modem+RIL, not helping either.
8. Tried many other things which I can't remember now but found by googling.
So it's sometimes working and also shows the correct IMEI and baseband and sometimes they are all gone?
My question here is that is there anything I can still try to get it working. And also if anyone knows where the problem could be? Is it some part that is faulty or is it the software that is messing with me? I'm quite handy at taking apart and changing the parts inside if that is the case. It's just that I'm not going to pay over 100€ for a new motherboard to get it fixed.
Thanks for any replies!
