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.

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?
The SIM lock Menu it shows:
[x Network 10
]

[] Service provider 0
[] Corporate 0

Rooting Status: Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No
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.

You inserted the SIM card in the wrong position? How is that even possible?

Hi, not new to rooting etc. (have a ZTE Blade which have rooted & custom rom in past).
Have inherited Xperia NEO. Was on 2.3.4 stock & locked to UK O2 network. Now does not recognise SIM card (OVIVO on UK Vodafone network) at any software version 2.3 or 4.x.
Have used flashtool to get to 4.1.B.0.587 - fine.
Rooted with DoomLord - think it worked OK.
Tried unlocking with PlasmaTool - had to short a couple of pins to put into test mode. Tested it recognised the phone but did not go any further. Think this is what screwed it up.
Have since got SIM unlock code from O2.
Have also tried 'RESTORE' in S1tools (found in other threads) & reflash but still not working.
Any help welcomed please - how can I get phone to recognise SIM again ? Thanks
Fixed.
If it helps anyone else - I wasn't using the S1tool correctly.
Clicked on Identify, connected phone as directed, clicked on RESTORE. then have to disconnect & reconnect phone as directed. Then says Restore Complete.
Inserted other network SIM - booted phone and prompted for Unlock Code.

your phone is sim unlocked? you can check it by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* then service info > sim lock
[ ] and 0 means sim unlocked
[x] and any number means sim locked
it was a hardware issue cost me 150$ to fix the pins were broken
Hi, i have some problems with No Sim Card detected on Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 from T-Mobile (Austrian)
Firstly i unlocked the phone at the shop and was really unlocked on all sim cards but than i did a factory reset and the phone no longer detects sim card from other carriers, it only detects sim card from T-Mobile, It dosen't even shows the menu when you turn on the phone for network unlock.
I tryed using those secret codes to show the network unlock menu but they didn't work since the phone was updated to 4.3 firmware.
So i followed this guide on androible downgrade-galaxy-s3-i9300-android-4-3-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-firmware
To downgrade to 4.1.2 firmware along with provided modem file. The secret codes now do show menu's but when i click on UMTS RF NV it says it's not supported.
Also instead of downgrading to T-Mobile 4.1.2 Firmware i downgraded it to Orange 4.1.2 Firmware hope that dosen't effects it in anyways? Phone otherwise works just fine IMEI Number shows OK.
I tryed 2 different SIM cards from orange none of them worked, it only detects SIM from T-Mobile.
To recap it all agean: I wish to unlock this phone so i can use different SIM card's but the phone is on NO Sim card, emergency calls only but when i insert T-Mobile Sim it works, Also there is no Network Unlock Menu shown durning turn on or reset since i already Unlocked the phone once with a code. Does anyone has any clue how to fix this or unlock it without rooting the phone.
I own a Lg G3 sprint ls990.I live in Bangladesh.My device was on android lollipop and it was fine.But due to restart and warming issues i flashed into stock kitkat rom using flashtool.After 91% of flashing a red screen poped up in my device it said "warning; not support qem=0" and in the flashtool app it said failed.But when I pulled out the battery and rebooted my device I saw everything is okay.Then I put on a working sim card and it couldn't detect the sim card.i tried with whole other working sim card but i couldn't detect.I changed my sim slot but that also cannot change the condition.I flashed with other roms but still nothing is happening.When i dial "*#06#" to know my imei it says "connection problem or invalid mmi code".......Now Im badly in need of your help guys.Please,do help guys.
