Yesterday, i have updated my phone to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ( Spain Version ) all worked realy good.
But after updating my sister phone(She had ICS 4.0.3, which i've updated to her before when she had GingerBread and had no problems with SIM CARD ) to the Jelly Bean version that i updated, her phone apparently does not recognize her SIM card anymore, however it does not recognize mine too. When i turn on her phone, it asks for a PIN for network unlock, really weird beacause the phone is unbranded( We've used movistar argentina before, and now we have personal argentina).
I've tried with " 1111, 0000, 1234 ", but they didnt work. Then i put her Sim card on my phone and it worked o.o. I think that the problem is her phone. Also i've already re-installed the Jelly Bean ROM on her phone, but it didnt work either.
Thanks you in advance.
The sim lock after updating to JB rom has already be discussed and solved at length over and over again.
In future use search before creating topics as per XDA rule #1.
My god, i apologize. Sorry, i'll search for it.
And say hi to your sister
Guys, i've decided to use Galaxysimunlock. But the problem is, is there any root kernel compatible with JB? o.o

Yes, plenty of them. Again use search.
Quick example is to use search function and to search titles only and use keyword *kernel* (with the *). This will bring you up a list of topics that have kernel in title.

CMW + SU might do the trick as well.
Hi, sorry for my bad English.It was transalte with the Google Translater.
My problem is that since I installed ViperX + 1.0.3 my Sim card is perhaps as 3 -4 times a day no longer recognized.
3 - 4 Times a day i must type my Pin an the for 2-4 hours it runs perfect.
Previously I had installed InsertCoin and had no problems.
Maybe someone has an idea what it could be?
Can i flash the boot.img from the InsertCoin rls for the ViperX+ ROM ?
Greetings

Try re-flashing the rom it sounds like a bad flash. I have been using the rom since day 1 and have had no issues with sim card at all. Also you could try another rom for a day and see how you get on. Another solution is to try re-flashing the kernel and see if that helps.
AW: ViperX+ 1.03 INT - No Sim Card found...
i have flash the elite 2 kernel again but the same problem.
anyone have the problem or any tips?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
I've already read about this issue in a german board; this can also be a hardware issue, because the users there report they got this problem also on other ROMs and reflashing ROM or kernel didn't change anything for them.
So you should try to flash a different ROM and look if you still have this problem. If yes, I suggest you to take your phone back and get a new one or send your phone to an authorised repair centre, because then this must be a hardware issue.
BTW: tripl3b are you german? your english sounds like this sorry
so maybe check out the thread @ the german board: http://www.android-hilfe.de/htc-one...karte-wird-ploetzlich-nicht-mehr-erkannt.html
but I don't know if they got a solution for your problem there...
Agreed, the best thing to do is to re-lock your bootloader. Then flash your stock rom. If you are still having problems at that stage it is more than likely hardware which they should fix for you under warranty even if you have unlocked your bootloader.
If you have a different sim card try that as well. It could be the contacts on your sim card are damaged etc.
@dubdroid_ yes iam german
i have check the thread from the german board, but they have no solution at the moment
Before i installed the ViperX+ Rom, i have installed the InsertCoin Rom and they run without any Problems.
U think i can use the boot.img from the InsertCoin ROM or ist this a Problem for the Viper rom ?
You should be able to as far as I know they are based on the same rom version.
ok, i try it.
thx for ur help
no success
when i flash the boot.img from the InsertCoin rom, i have no WLAN or Provider Signal
ok, now i have flash the stock kernel an it runs since 3 days without any problems.
anyone knows why i cant use the elite or elite 2 kernel ?
I might throw my own two cents into this thread. My wife and I both have this same phone and we experience this no-sim card problem ALL THE TIME.
Specs:
Phone1: ATT HTC OneX+
Elegancia ROM
Stock kernal
Rooted (obviously)
Phone2: ATT HTC ONeX+
Stock everything, factory new
I find that this might be an ATT problem and not an HTC problem. Here is my evidence.
I have noticed this problem only happens when I am in my home town area (Salt Lake, UT) where ATT is rolling out their LTE network. I live in an area that is mostly 4G, on occasion I get a very very weak LTE signal. I think the network is dropping these phones when the phone switches between 4G and LTE. If I go to an area of solid LTE coverage this problem does not happen at all. I am out of town in San Francisco each week and this problem never happens in that area, only in SLC. The quick fix is to cycle airplane mode and the phone comes back to life.
Any thoughts anybody?

Will this custom ROM unlock the phone?
I have bought this phone from T-Mobile, but chose the wrong option when buying (not the unlocked one) and now the only way I could find to unlock the phone would be paying for the network unlock code (around $30).
Would anyone know if by flashing this ROM it will unlock the phone to use another carrier's SIM card?
Any other option on how to unlock the phone using another method would also be greatly appreciated.
No, the custom ROM will not unlock the phone

Already found the answer to my own question. I flashed the custom ROM to the locked phone and tried to place a SIM card in it, but still get the Invalid SIM card message and it requests the network unlock code.
I can also say that kitkat metropcs twrp backup works on the Univision variant and it works with a sim card from another country, thanks!!
EDIT: This ROM won't unlock your phone, this is another part of the device that is not dependant on the rom, to unlock you'll need an unlocking box like z3x, or pay for an imei unlock code, mine could be unlocked with 13 dlls from unlockscout, samsungs made in china.
What is the version 4.4 or 4.2?

Phone is now unlocked and updated to Kit Kat
Indeed, the part of the phone responsible for the network lock is not messed with by the custom ROM or the update to Kit Kat method, but I actually found a way to unlock without a z3x box or having to buy the unlock code online.
The phone I was trying to unlock is a friend's phone, but I have my own phone and it was bought already unlocked, and is the same model. The trick here was to find out that the network code lock was part of the EFS partition. I made a full backup of my phone (unlocked) through TWRP and restored it in my friend's phone. It did unlock. Then it was just a matter of resetting to factory defaults and performing the procedure to update to Kit Kat and it now is unlocked and updated. \o/

Heres my question, if the phone is from tmobile how did you get kitkat? Unless you did it with the METRO backup
cm version
Thanks. Looking forward for that CM ROM.
One potentially noob question: cm11 is based on 4.4 while this device is officially still 4.2.2. Would that be OK?
Yes thats why people started making xustom roms

I read somewhere that someone was trying to download KK update from T-Mobile this could be just a 4.2 update or they could be pushing it. Maybe new lights are shipping with KK as well who knows

There are many phones who are stuck on outdated firmware. Gnex, nexus s, htc mytouch 4g/slide all running kit Kat. Many many more examples. The Roms may not be stable due to various reasons (no source, outdated hardware, lack of Dev etc) it is possible
Is there a test that will show if a phone is locked or not. I hosed my efs partition a while back and had to format it, change permissions, and reset to factory default to get my Galaxy Light to boot. Does that mean that my phone is unlocked?

Yes, I did it with the MetroPCS backup. Tried to flash the kernel of KitKat straight from the T-Mobile system on 4.2.2 but it did not work.

The work I'm doing is based on the metro PCs released kernel source and device files which are 4.4. They have the same everything just different bloat from carrier.

I believe you are looking for an app that is able to test if the phone is network locked or not. I do not know of such an app. The basic test you can do is try to insert a SIM card from another operator and see if it allows it or displays the message of it being an invalid SIM, asking for the network unlock code. And you don't need to buy another SIM, just borrow a friend's, it will only take a minute...
Thanks, that's my little problem in that I don't have access to a micro or mini SIM like the one in this device.
Anyone know where the boot animation is? Or how to change it?

Greetings XDA Zombies!
Got the T399NUVUANH1 working on my T-Mobile T399. Having issues getting ViPER4Android FX drivers to work. Have BusyBox Pro and seems that it wont install property. The ViPER4 2.3 version says the drivers are installed but actually not working, and the ViPER4 4.x version I keep getting the drivers failed.
Appreciate any help.
Footnote: X Tether works!
Bummer. Think TMO watching XDA and clamping down on whatever loose ends they can bind.

Will this work on a galaxy light with Android 4.4.3? Does the build have to be the same?
Hi,
I have the following SIM card problem with my Elephone P6000 Pro:
First of all, I'm sure that the SIM is working since I've tested it with my other devices.
In my Elephone P6000 Pro, I get asked for a PIN after boot, but then there's like no service at all, so I can't search for networks or similar, since it actually says no SIM card.
I checked with *#06#* and the original IMEIs were still there.
This happens with the stock rom and also after updating the stock rom to a newer version.
I also tried flashing other ROMs like Eragon, DCU v12.1 (AOSP) and custom kernels like the one from visi0nary but with no help.
I had the exact same problem with my Elephone P8000, but it got solved after flashing the Eragon ROM for the P8000 - it recognized my SIM right away after that.
That's why I thought that maybe installing Eragon on my P6000 Pro would solve it too, but unfortunately it didn't. Other ROMs didn't solve it either.
I do believe that this is a software problem, since I was able to solve it on my P8000 with installing another ROM.
I would really appreciate anyone's help. Thanks.
Is it a Virgin Mobile Sim?
They don't work on it.
I ended up changing my contract provider.
I'm a really overenthusiastic phone customization maniac.
So, recently I have flashed a new ROM for my phone "Alliance ROM V9" for my Samsung Galaxy S5.
It all went well and works perfectly fine except for one thing.
It doesn't let me make or receive phone calls or SMS. Then i realized that it does not recognize my SIM Card.
If someone can help me out I would really appreciate it!

You have to report this to the rom developer of the rom you're currently using, and tell the developer about the thing you experiencing. No one going to fix this except the developer of the rom.
