Hi yesterday after a phone call I had to restart my phone and once it booted back up I just had a circle with a line through it as my signal icon and couldnt phone or txt anyone. I have restarted and reseated the sim card many times but still nothing. I have also done a factory reset and it is still the same. Also when i go into settings - about phone it shows that i dont have a number, imei etc. Anyone got anyideas ?
Cheers

Have you tried entering your mobile number?
Where do you enter the mobile number because in the settings it doesn't give the option to do so.

May be you can do factory reset...if still not working return to where you bought. You can search this forum, how to do factory reset.
I had the same problem after installing the MIUI ROM. However, it still showed the keypad to enter my PIN code, which I did, and the error disappeared after that.
i had the same problem, so, after a couple tests, that´s the "solution"...
take your SD card off, and turn the mobile on, will work.
after that, you can put it in again, and be alert because the time you have to insert your sim pim(sim password)is short(till the mobile finish "search for media" in your sd)
at least for me, it worked
Hi, Please help since today I´m having the same problema. No SIM card is detected by the phone, IMEI says Unknown, baseband Unknown.
HElp PLEASE!!!
First step: Install a stock rom and see if it works, backup everything first.
Second step: If first step does not work, you have an EFS corruption. Plenty of threads on this and how to recover your IMEI. Search will be your friend.

Hello everyone. I have photon 4G from USA and after full flashing ROM 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5 and last OTA update is appear the problem with GSM/UMTS sim-card - phone is not detecting it after first manual reboot. Only after wipe data the sim-card is detecting but after reboot problem is repeating. What's wrong ?
The sim-card is new, on the another devices it is work.
My flashing order: wipe (all cash), flashing 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5 via RSD_lite, wipe (all cash), OTA update, wipe (all cash).
Manual changing in the system after done: root AIO method, freezing all apps with "sprint" and "social" in the title.
Please give me advice or some help.
When you say the Photon isn't detecting your SIM card, what do you mean? It says "Insert SIM" when you boot up?
It doesn't

No, sim-card already inside (i don't eject it before flashing) and it working fine until the phone will be rebooted first.
What makes you say it isn't detecting the SIM card?

Icon in the status bar (sim card with exclamation mark), no signal and sim card does not ask for the unlock code as usual (PIN).
Update: Flash the last ota for RSD - problem still there is.
Have you tried inserting a different SIM? Or removing and then re-inserting the current SIM?

I've tried both. Tried 4 different sim. It works only with old sim with large field of contact (all new small). I don't understand why.
Update №1: No, another sim with big field of contact is not working too (Vodafone europe).
Update №2: The problem with all SIM cards.
Perhaps the official update (full ROM) contain some lock for non-sprint SIM ?
It is highly unlikely.
Perhaps it's a faulty SIM reader?

It is difficult ... Motorola does not supply their own phones in Russia there is no authorized services (services may decline). But I will try.
I wiped the SIM reader through alcohol and SIM card was found. I do not know for how long.
Update: Not long - already end.

Via ebay (devices_now_inc seller). Without sprint SIM. I have only GSM/UMTS SIM (Russian and Chech).
The problem was desided (i hope). Problem was in the non-work SIM-lock dialog after reboot (perhaps because of the freeze some stock's app, I don't know), phone don't asked the pin-code automatically and SIM stay lock everytime. Just go to the phone menu / Settings / Location & security / Set up SIM card lock / Lock SIM card (make it unmark) - enter PIN-code (if you have) and forget about locked GSM/UMTS SIM on your phone. I hope it will be helpfull for somebody.

If you know all the SIM cards you've tried actually do work (i.e. you tried the SIM cards in other phones, and they work), and none of them work in the I9100, then the SIM card reader in the I9100 has gone bad. Did you install or flash something before it stopped working?
If you can't get it working, and it's only 2 months old, then you should still have a valid warranty. In this case, if you've flashed any non-stock firmwares or ROMs, then flash back to stock, remove all traces of root if you rooted it, and send it in for warranty.
Clean ur pins inside the phone where normally should ur sim..

I would check to be sure sim is completely inserted, it should lock into place and need to be pushed in further to eject it.
Similar to the way some micro SD card slots work.

Just restore it to stock JB. Info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946 Look in the FAQ section. Although it might just be a bad sim card. It may be worth just walking into AT&T and asking to switch your number to a new one. If that still doesn't work, then just LGNPST.

It shouldn't be but it could be a sign to internal damage. The door keeps out dust, lint, and other small objects (coins and keys) from breaking the contacts inside. You may be looking at hardware damage.

All that is, is the phone detecting an object being pushed in. It still won't see that "that object" is a sim card until it reboots.

It is probably software related. I was just saying there is a possibility it is hardware related since the sim cover is broken. You won't know until you flash back to stock. Also, does your phone show an IMEI number? Check in settings>about phone>phone identity. Dont post the IMEI, just check to see if there is a number. I ask because my EFS partition got messed up once on another phone and it too wasn't recognising the sim.

Thats normal. The phone will still operate without a sim card. All the network (Edge, GSM, LTE) will still function. This is so that you can still use your phone to make emergency calls. Basically, the problem can only be a few things.
1. Software related (Solution: flash back to stock)
2. Sim Card related (S: get a new sim card)
3. Hardware related (S: repair/replace the phone)
You'll figure it out. Just narrow it down one by one. :good:
Edit: Before you restore stock, why not just try a factory reset. It wouldn't hurt. Backup just in case.
