I have an unlocked Motorola Atrix 4g, and today I have changed the sim from one from another carrier, and it show: process.android.phone has stopped.
I have read that it´s because some phones does not work with 64kb sim or 32kb. So I tried with a new sim from that carrier and it continues showing the same message.
The cell phone recognizes the sim card, but the signal instantly gets off.
With my sim card it does not happen...what can I be?
Can I fix it flashing a new rom?
I am with 2.3.6 official rom.
Many Thanks.
If you have an unlocked BL, try flashing a different radio.

I have cingular 8525 which I bought 6 months ago and unlocked it using a code provided by cingular.
I have upgraded the phone with black dymond rom.
Is my phone still unlocked or no? I have no way to test as I don;t have sim card from other carirers.
welp i would say its safe to say that once unloacked always unlocked no matter what ROM you flash since flashing the rom has nothing to do with SIM lock or CID
Correct. SIM/CID unlocking is retained after flashing a ROM.
I have a HD2, but I'm on AT&T, I plan to flash a custom rom, as I did with my Tilt.
Will I still need to unlock my phone after a custom rom is flashed?
thanx
yes, rom flashing has zero effect on network lock.

Just out of curiosity (as I have no need to sim unlock my phone)
If you have a phone sim unlocked, will it remain sim unlocked if you later flash it (HSPL or ROM)?
How would you re-lock it if it has to be returned for warranty purposes.

no it won't re lock, there is no way to re lock an unlocked phone (that i know of)
as for warranty, it doesn't matter, unlocking your network is not against terms and conditions.
When I had to return a T-Mobile MDA Compact IV (HTC Diamond) because the USB connection was faulty. I was told that if it was flashed with a non-T-Mobile ROM or was SIM unlocked, then that would void the warranty.
T-Mobile voided it because it had an HTC Diamond stock ROM.

As you say, nothing to do with SIM unlock. It is just theat they also told me that a SIM Unlocked phone would be void of warranty.
nah, thats just some phone desk monkey making stuff up. if it voided warranty, why would they give you one if you asked?
hello,
I have a big problem, I conducted a desimlockage via Wotan and later my unlocked bootloader.
This morning my brother has done an OTA update on .58
My phone is bricked it, so I tried to relock the BL, to restart the phone but no sim is now recognized and the BL is pressed into NO.
Thank you help me please.
i think unlock Bl and OTA update will 100% crash your phone and if you relock the BT without stock Rom will crash it to.
Simple to solve: try a different sim card. For some reason, .58 firmware and above doesn't have the drivers for some kinds of sim cards. I know it may sound weird, but it happened with me too and my mobile carrier gave me a different sim card and now everthing is working again.
If you can't get another sim card, you have to downgrade it to 2.3.3 firmware, so you can use oficial rom along your actual sim card again. I never tested custom roms within our devices, so I can't say if your sim card would or would not work with them.
I hope that helped.

My sim card is not detected even though I flashed back to stock rom. I accidently locked the bootloader in Feralab kernel. Now I am on the stock rom but it keeps saying to restart my phone and place my sim but its already in there... I unlocked it with setool2. Should I try unlocking it with semc tool and relocking it? Using X10a
EDIT: Problem Solved. Flashed back to stock and unlocked it again and it worked.
Bump because I need to fix my phone ASAP so I can use it. BTW I also unlocked with semc and relocked it because it didn't work. Using stock 2.3.3 rooted.
I recently found a repository containing stock fastboot flashable firmware for pretty much every single Moto E variant out there (except Sprint XT1526, much to my dismay). I have a Sprint XT1526 which has its bootloader unlocked. I was reading about a US Cellular variant of the XT1526 and how it is network unlocked for domestic GSM/CDMA usage. Since the Sprint variant isn't unlocked domestically, and since both are the XT1526 model, I figured I'd try to flash US Cellular stock firmware through fastboot to see if it worked.
I tried both the 5.0.2 and 5.1 images from USC and both gave me the same results: everything flashed and booted fine, but the Baseband is still listed as being Sprint. The firmware packages include a modem for me to flash (called NON-HLOS.bin I believe), but even after flashing this US Cellular modem along with the rest of the files I just can't get the baseband to switch from Sprint to US Cellular.
Any help on how to get the Baseband switched from Sprint to US Cellular so I can use my T-Mobile SIM in this thing? There is a modem file in the stock firmware but there isn't a radio file. Is this the problem? I thought the modem was the same thing as the baseband, not the radio? But if I am missing a radio file is there any way I can get a US Cellular one?
P.S. I'm not sure if this is a bad sign like something broke after I tried to flash the wrong firmware or if it always did this, but now when I insert my T-Mobile SIM it isn't detected at all. It thinks I don't even have a SIM inserted when I actually do (yes, I checked to make sure it was inserted the right way)
EDIT: Did research on my own and it turns out I'm actually missing a radio file; just a modem isn't enough. Since there doesn't seem to be a place I can find a prepackaged radio, is there any way someone with a US Cellular variant could "extract" a radio image for me to flash?
EDIT2: Apparently the fsb and NON-HLOS images were all I needed all along, but flashing those like I did still didn't help. Looks like this just isn't going to work.

I think I'm gonna throw in the towel now. I believe I know the problem: its not that I don't have the right files to change the radio/baseband, its that fastboot is still in secure mode (even though my bootloader is unlocked) which prevents me from flashing certain images like bootloaders, partition tables, and radios. If someone were to either leak an insecure bootloader firmware package or compile their own, then baseband switching would be as easy as flashing these files.
I now have an XT1526 with a dead SIM slot, but its not like I was using it anyway so I guess there's no loss
@jasonmerc your phone's SIM card slot isn't bricked... it's just still domestically locked, so it will show that error when trying to use a non-Sprint domestic sim...

I guess each variant is different then. Back when I had my Verizon one (before I did the SIM unlock) if I put in my SIM it wouldn't say I was missing a SIM card, it just said the SIM was not recognized/not valid
@jasonmerc Did you ever try flashing to the USC bootloader before trying a modem flash? I was thinking maybe the bootloader is the key to all this... but it's the highest risk flash

Yeah I tried that but nothing happened. I was speaking with squid2 over PM about this, apparently on more modern phones a bootloader unlock doesn't guarantee you FULL access to every partition to change. The partition I'd need to alter to make it work, namely the ones that have to do with GPT, bootloader and modem, are part of this "restricted area" that you can't alter.
The only way we could alter the partitions needed to make this work is to obtain leaked engineering firmware for the XT1526, which when flashed gives you 100% full access to every partition. Leaked firmware is hard to come by, and I doubt Motorola would just hand it over if we asked them
EDIT: I notice in your signature you have something about a modified ROM intended for GSM usage on your Sprint Moto E. Does this ROM somehow enable GSM for domestic use or is that for non-USA GSM?

I flashed an XT1527 6.0 stock system.img and boot.img directly on the Sprint XT1526, and made some modifications myself to make it work with Sprint (through build.prop mods) and have been using it that way since.
It will still only accept a Sprint SIM though...
That's too bad changing out the bootloader didn't help
