My brother bring me a Motorola Razr D1 (XT914) and in someway the "SIM CARD SLOT" is "BLOCKED", i has been using many android devices and is the first time that i see that!...
My brother say this happend when he imput the SIM CODE wrong many times and eventualy the SIM card auto block for security reasons...

Yep, replace for a new SIM card.

That doesn't fix a locked slot. If the slot is locked and not the sim itself I haven't a clue how to fix it. I'm dealing with the same problem. I can use the same sim in one slot and it will work and in the other slot it says the slot is permanently locked. IT IS NOT THE SIM THAT IS LOCKED.

Sudden error No Sim Card

I haven't had any problems with this phone and even made a few calls an hour ago, but now it shows a message 'no sim card ' I have reseated the sim card and restarted the phone a few times yet I still get the message. Any ideas?
One more thing, just found the sim says it is locked. Nobody had access to lock it and I haven't set that up.

Since you have provided absolutely zero information about what you have done meanwhile, I assume the SIM simply died. In case you have flashed something like baseband or ROM, next time tell us.

For unlocking an already locked SIM, you need PUK, not PIN.
Some more information :
Phone is on Telus. Not rooted or anything. I have not updated the phone, but it is on 2.2.1. I was not running a program when this occurred, I made a call then picked up the phone 20mon later, and I got the message. Also, I have tried 1234 and that did not unlock the sim. I have never locked the sim before.
Call your operator... do not see what you would solve here.

[Q] No Sim card Message after unlocking

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:

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.

When I first got the phone both slots worked. I've rooted the phone and installed some things and may have broke something. SIM2 works but the other slot is broken. I'm on tmobile too.
Feiteng GT-A7100 "Mobile Network Not Available"
Oh, gosh, I'm really stuck. Tried two SIM cards (redpocket/att and spot/t) and either works. Sim cards work with
dumber phones. Really like this phone (ie cool android hardware) other than it won't work as a phone.
I also have suspicion about the IMEI. Bought from everbuying.com. please email vjp2 panix com because I dialup and don't
have broadband. But I will try to get back to forum if someone replies. The Phone sees the SIM card (ie, knows name, and some addresses).
I don't know about all those extra setting with initials (some it has, others not).
But it says the SIM card is disconnected. Took it outside, closer to cel towers. Is it possible the sim cards are too cheap.
I only want talk. I've seen doc this phone is 4 bands, others say 2 bands

i have same problem
1) I noticed one of my sim slots (sim 1) was not detecting the sim card. Error message was something like "no sim card" which is different than "no service". In examining the sim slot, one of the gold pins in the slot was not making contact with the sim card. I took a small safety pin and bent the pin slightly up.
** NOTE ** be careful bending this pin up. If you use too much force, you can snap the pin off and then you would be totally screwed.
I then reinserted the sim card and the phone detected it since the pins were now making contact with the sim card.
2) Another thing I noticed is sometimes I get "no service" even though other times I would get 4 bars of signal strength at the same location. I went to settings and disabled the sim card. Waited about 10 seconds and then re-enabled my sim card. It then seemed to reconnect with the phone network.
My carrier is TMobile.

"Insert SIM card" issue suddenly

Hi guys
I have a big issue with my S3 GT I9300. This morning, everything was running well and suddenly i got the error message "No SIM card, insert a SIM card". I didn't try to flash any ROM, or put any root or something. I was on my desk, the phone was on the table and when i checked it a few minutes later : no network and SIM card error message...
Until now i was on I9300XXUFME3 ROM. I tried to clean the sim card, the sim card slot, push the sim card while the phone was turning on (maybe it wasn't touching correctly the pin), but still getting the same issue. My IMEI is OK, still the original one (no 00 or 0049, etc).
That's why i decided ot flash a orginal ROM and flashed my phone to I9300XXUGMJ9. Flash is OK but still getting the network issue (no sim card inserted)..
I couldn't try my phone with an other SIM as I was alone at the office but i guess the issue comes from the phone as my SIM card is not old at all (i have it for 6 months only) and I don't remove it often from the phone.. Until this morning, my phone (bought it from someone 6 months ago= was working perfectly and I didn't flash it since May 2013, so I don't really understand..
I also tried Ariza's patch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601) but when I press "Apply fix", it starts downloading and stays at 0%.. Nothing seems to be downloading.
Any help would be very greatful guys, thank you.. :crying:
Don't go flash crazy, you'll do more damage with that patch.
Sounds like your sim card reader is faulty, not an expensive item to have repaired.

Hello,
I just went to an Orange store here in Paris and the issue was simply a deffective SIM card.. They replaced it by a new one and got the issue fixed
Thanks a lot guys for your kind help!
Hi guys, i have similar problem, i tried different sim cards, none worked, tried changing the whole card reader with a brand new one, but it didn't fix the problem.
everything started approximately a month ago, or even more, i tried rooting the phone after applying the update but i missed up and almost killed the hone, after allot of effort i managed to bring it back to life and re-installed the firmware update, but the phone started giving me the "Not registered on network" error, and the IMEI changed to that 0049 thing, then it started telling me to insertsim card.
the thing is, before all this happens I had no idea how to important it is to backup, so I have no EFS backup
so, any ideas what could be the cause? and how to fix it?

Unlock Sim to use mobile for other carries than Verizon?

Hi,
I'm desperately trying to get my sim card working on a verizon HTC Droid Incredible beats version 4G LTE.
It just says "Please enter your 4-8 digit SIM PIN" and when I put in the pin of the other sim (carrier2) it says "SIM card is locked Your last attempt to enter a PIN has locked the SIM card...." and then it asks me to enter the PUK but if I put this in it again gives me a message to put in the right PUK.
I've read in another thread that a RUU would help out, but I don't know if I should do it if I haven't even rooted the device?
+there is no SD card on the device?
Thank you for you help,
:good:

The Fireball (Droid Incredible LTE) is SIM unlocked. I am using it with an Airvoice Wireless SIM card. It did not ask for any pin. I therefore think that it is the SIM card that is locked. You can set up a SIM card lock and the PIN is stored on the SIM card. This is what must have happened to your SIM card.
