Does the new OTA rooted still fix problems with the sim card? - HTC Droid DNA

I've always had problems with the DNAs sim card not being found but I've noticed this happening much much more than usual. Its annoying having to constantly restart my phone so it will recognize the sim. On the additional information about the OTA it says it fixes sim card problems, will it still accomplish this goal with a rooted ROM based off the ota?

I updated to the ota and it still happened to me. Just once. Went on my Verizon wireless account and changed device to the same phone, rebooted and all is well. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Good luck!

Some people report that it actually does, some of then even says that the have better signal reception...
on my droid, i installed the update and the signal strengt is like the same, but i havent had no sim card issue anymore

Just an update... Happened to me again just now....lol

It is supposed to fix the issue but I assume it only fixes a specific issue, so its possible you can still have the issue if your sim is dirty or broken. The update is just a radio so just get it and flash it.

Just a radio...exactly what I wanted to hear. Why download a whole new ROM if I can change up my radio. Thanks guys, if only there was a way to flash radios without fast boot:/

I flashed the new radio and have noticed that my sim card fails significantly less than previously. It still happens every once in awhile but not nearly as much. Just for anyone belse having issues

SIM Undetected Issue

I am wondering if this is a hardware defect on my device or an actual problem.
My Phone:
S-OFF
Viper 1.1.3
Cubed 3.1.3
No Verizon OTA update
OTA update radio flashed via fastboot
Eng HBoot
Occasionally I will lose data/3G/4G connection and it will say a SIM is not detected (even though it is in there). I found that by rebooting it will fix it but I haven't found a fix besides that. I will regain connection after the reboot and it will work fine but this is happening at least once a day.
(Clearing Cache/Dalvik, Fixed permissions does nothing)
Thanks!
It is a common hardware problem on dna's. Reseating the SIM card is the best fox for it.

Had the same issue. My phone obviously was defected as my new one had no issue. Trade off is it came with the ota. So I have to wait for root now.

I used to have this problem on my phone. I re seated the sim card once and took the ota update and since then it hasn't given me any error involving the sim card.

Probably has everything to do with reseating and nothing to do with the ota.
Same issue for me. I cleaned the SIM card with an eraser and it's been good so far.

Signal Problems and others

Hey guys, I'm getting an error code 65535 class 3 whenever I try to text, and a radio failed when I try to place a call. I'm running sense 5 (hatka) and I already confirmed that it's not the rom. Please help, I'm on a trip in new York so I really need this (this all randomly happened so I don't think I did this)

Yeah, I'm using the correct version. I checked and everything. Odd thing is that yesterday it was working just fine. I woke up this morning and my signal would drop in and out like crazy and I would go for about 3 minutes without signal before I'd get a bar (usually i have 3 to 5)
Here are some pictures (not sure if it would help or not)
(also I'm in New York on a trip so no laptop)

Either bad SIM (my first guess) or signal issues in the area (unlikely) hit up a store and swap out your SIM.

Re: Texting error
Hmm, I took out my sim and put it back in and it gave me full bars, I can get texts (rarely), and I can get very little Internet when connected (not wifi) I don't want to take my phone to Verizon because I'm running a custom rom and they'll see it and probably want to make me pay for a new one.

don't go by the bars....go by the dbm...whats that showing?
Re: Texting error
I'd run an RUU and see what it does, don't sweat the bars and if that doesn't fix it just give it a day or two. You can always run the RUU can call verizon and have them send you another SIM card.

When it spiked
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
According to both Verizon and HTC, there was a known issue with the phone software and not being able to read the SIM card. It happened to mine about ten times every week until an update was released to supposedly fix it in February. I still get the error from time to time, but far less than I did previously. If you've rooted and flashed a ROM prior to February, I would suggest making a backup and restoring the phone back to stock. Once you've done this, do the update to the new firmware and then reroot and restore from your backup. This should, I think, fix most SIM issues.

Help fix 4G :(

Im going to explain this problem in a depth as i can.
I am s-off'd via jtagged, rooted and have twp recovery. I am on newest radio running NOS M7 v2.0.3
I can only connect to 3G for some reason with it reading eHRPD.
i do not know if it was reading this before i started the process of rooting since i never turn the phone completely on once i got it back.
So after some reading and advice i downloaded LTE on off to force 4G
It worked but at the cost of losing my mobile network causing me to not be able to make calls or send out text but i have 4G i can get on the internet.
Atm i am plagued with having 3G and service or using 4G w/o service... and this is a problem.
Also while on 4G it reads RSRP if that helps.
Idk if this is a hardware problem from me getting my device jtagged (which would suck since that means im stuck with it) or if it can be fixed.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated since im getting annoyed

What carrier are you on?
In any case, I would RUU back to stock, including kernel, and see if I get 4G. Make sure 4G is available in your area....?
Look in mobile connection make sure you have 4g enabled...

I had the same problem when I got my phone back. Took it back to Verizon and got a new phone. I tried everything and nothing worked. It is like something happened to the radio. Tried to flash a new one nothing. Still haven't heard back from mtv on trying to get a refund.

Sigh thats something i wanna avoid so Ill just have to stay stuck until moonshine comes out. I really like sense 5 and I don't wanna go back to 4+... Then I'll get a replacement I guess.
As far as RUU to stock and seeing if I was on LTE I already did all that. I was almost looking into build.props but I assumed that wouldnt work either. So guess I'm just stuck on 3G unless it randomly wanna come back which I doubt unless somebody comes up with a solution besides just getting a replacement.

I had this happen after using my nexus. Somehow my SIM got corrupted. 4g worked on the galaxynexus but not my DNA. New SIM card fixed it. Try going to Verizon and asking for a new SIM card.

I have the same issue that you are having. I am glad I was not the only person to have this happen I am going to put my phone back to being S-On and locked with the factory ROM and then head to Verizon to get a new SIM card.

That's more than likely not necessary if ur just getting a new SIM card. U shouldn't have an issue even if ur s off and unlocked. SIM cards r free.

Correct they are free, but the guy I tend to see at the Verizon store always seems to launch that hboot screen everytime I go in there. He did when I had the SIM card swapped earlier in the year as it would disconnect from my network several times a day. So I just want to be on the safe side.
I had my SIM card replaced twice on my resound and both times went to the store without relocking the bootloader or anything. Didn't have any issues. They programmed the new card and I was on my merry way. Maybe call em first and without giving any of ur account information ask if u can get a new SIM card if uv rooted ur phone. It would suck to go thru that process if it's not necessary but I can certainly understand the better safe than sorry approach. The phone call would definitely be worth the time though imo.

Just go in and ask for a new sim card. No need to waste your time relocking and s-on'ing your phone.

So I got the issue resolved without a new SIM card. So here is a combo of things I did to resolved the issue. I have everything in the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338810
I think it was resolved after I flashed my radio and then I went back to stock just in case I have any more issues in the next week. As if I do I will go back to the Verizon store and swap out my phone. But I'd rather be S-ON in case that happens and be that way for a bit. Plus I wanted to test the S-ON for future purposes of in case I needed to get back there I knew how to.

Is there a definite fix for the SIM error problem?

Hey guys,
I have been searching for awhile and cant seem to get a straight answer. It seems as though most folks getting sim error problems have sent the phone back to HTC for a replacement. It is to my understanding that 2.06 update was supposed to fix sim issues, but some reported it did not fix them/made them worse.
Does anyone know of of a legitimate fix for the random sim issues? Any ROMs out there that solve this issue?
Thanks!

I don't believe there is any other fix other than the 2.06 update, but I could be wrong. Before you send your phone out I would get one of those fancy new nfc sims from verizon first. I think that solved some people's issue. Also an ruu restore

i believe the sim errors are caused by the inferior gasket around the sim tray. if your not using a case that covers it small bits of dirt get in and cause errors. what i suggest is to pop out the sim, clean it. use a airduster in the port. than reinsert the sim and use a small bit of tape and cover the tray and port and use a case
Thanks to all.
Any strictly GSM folks having the same issues with a non-Verizon SIM?

I've had this problem too, so try this. Click on roaming, and if that doesn't work, take you sim card out and put it back in, and see if that. good luck! Ultimately I think it's a card problem, and if it happens to me again, I'm going to Verizon and getting another sim
