Hello I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro installed Avast antivirus free version . My phone is rooted and so I installed the Anti Theft app . I left it right " save deep " into the phone even after restoring the device to function . The problem came when I needed to restore the phone to factory defaults. After restoring initially phone worked well. But then crashed another application so I decided to fully restore to factory defaults with SD card formating. After that an error occurred .
Turn on the phone , the phone does not find sim and reported to be lost (anti- theft) . After I enter the password, antitheft window disappear , but the phone will not let me go into the settings , I can not enter the password to wifi , not install apps (avast neither) and even uninstall anti-theft. Can not call because it does not find sim. I also tried different sim card and nothing worked. So my phone is completely unusable. Although I have a password on my phone i cannot use it. Please any advice . My phone is now totally useless.
BTW: Phone is rooted . I tried reflash ROM but it doesnt work because of my debugging options are diasable (i can not enable it because i cannot to go to options).
Sorry for my english.
Hmmm...download stock rom for devices and flash it using Flashtool....remember don't connect you devices first and turn it off...just press the flash icon on flashtool and select flashmode....then select the rom and press ok....wait until there a popup asking to connect your devices then only then you can connect it and let the flashing to its job...
Solved
I used Sony PC Companion to repair my phone. Avast anitheft is deleted now (it does not show again). But my sim card does not work. It shows: restart your phone and insert sim card (but sim card is inserted). So i dont know, maybe it is need to repair my phone in service.

My friend, thinking he was all smart, decided to root my LG Optimus Black.( P970g )
He them proceeded to install the NOVA rom without asking, and without backing ANYTHING up. :/ so then my phone couldn't connect to my network and was getting an error message every 5-13 seconds " process, com.android.phone is not responding " and so I eventually made it to a place where I could load up a rom off the SD card. so I put, PAYS ROM on it, and now i can't connect to wifi, but i can connect to network. when i go to ( settings > wireless and networks > wifi ) and Hit "ON" it just says "error". can ANYONE please tell me how to fix this or supply me with a factory restore rom? or something? I want to use my phone again :/
After a normal reboot of my phone, it suddenly doesn't read my sim card anymore. When I turn it on, I'm not asked to enter the pin code and the phone doesn't connect to the network.
If I go into settings and change the pin code, or turn it off, I'm asked to enter the original pin code, so in that way there's still a connection to the sim card.
When I've done any of the above, the sim card seems to been "activated", and the phone connects to the network, and everything is as it should be until the next reboot. Then I manually have to "activate" the sim card again.
The phone has worked without any problems for a long time with the current CyanogenMod 9 custom rom and my current provider, and I haven't changed anything that suddenly can cause this.
Some suggestions to what can be wrong?
Does the sim work with other phones ? If so, it probably isn't a problem with the sim. In that case, try a factory reset in the first instance.
If that fails to work, try a fresh/clean install of CM9. If that doesn't work, reflash a Gingerbread stock rom & see if the problem persists. If the problem persists with a GB rom, then it's likely to be a sim/hardware issue.
The other thing that comes to mind is have you flashed a recent CM9 nightly ? This might explain it working OK previously with CM9 & not working now. Obviously CM9 is beta, and something funky might be going on with a more recent build/nightly.
I've now finally managed to find another phone and another sim-card.
My own sim-card works fine in the other phone - and when I put the other sim-card in my own phone it doesn't ask of the pin-code and it doesn't connect to the network.
So I believe my phone needs a complete reset - when I've got the time to do it...
One strange thing is, that at one reset earlier this week my own phone asked for the pin-code - but only once...??
I think I've found the problem. Either it's caused by Avast Anti-Theft alone or it's a combination of Avast Anti-Theft and CyanogenMod 9.
I believe it's the last one, because everything worked fine during the first time I switched from stock ROM to CM9, but then suddenly the error with the pin-code occured, and I could be caused by an update in the CM9 version.
But when I restored factory settings on my phone and started again from zero, everything was okay, and I was promted to enter my pin-code. It was the same when I restored my apps and data with Titanium Backup, but then when I installed Avast Anti-Theft the error occured again.
Actually I restored my phone once again just to make sure, and it was the same - when I installed Avast Anti-Theft, I was no more asked to enter the pin-code and the phone did not connect to the network.
So now I know what's wrong and maybe also why - but I don't know how to solve it...!?
Hello everybody!
I was on ultimate v8 when my phone started rebooting in recovery without any reason, and entering recovery.if i restarted the phone i didn't had signal.
the phone worked properly without the sim card (tried two cards, it had this problem with both of them)
i thought it was a rom issue, so i flashed the stock rom, relocked the bootloader and used sony update service to repair my phone.
i didn't install any applications, and for a couple of hours it worked normally. afterwards though it lost signal again and started rebooting.
did a clean install again with no results.
any ideas what how should i procceed? is there any way to fix it or shoud i visit a service point?
ps sometimes it seems that sim cards are not properly recognised. it's not that it has the sign, that shows that there is no sim card, however sometimes i restart the phone and it doesn't ask for the pin code

hmm...do a factory reset using cwm then flash stock ICS .54 rom & see it works or not.
i've wiped data, cleaned cache, dalvik cache etc many times while i was on ultimate. i've also flashed the stock and did factory reset via the menu in the phone as well via sony update service... i was thinking of flashing radio, but couldn't find the file...
[Q] Phone can't recognize any fingerprints & dont accept my backup passes& No Wi-fi
so it sounds like any other stucked lockscreen thread BUT my problem is that i turned off both wi-fi and data before locking the device and now i cant turn them on due to SECURE LOCKSCREEN ! is there any way to turn them on and use either of those android device manager methods or other online methods or am i doomed to reset the phone ??!?!
My Samsung Galaxy S2 doesn't recognize my SIM-card anymore. I can't make calls or use (3G) internet.
Problems started after my phone was unresponsive while trying to pick up an incoming phone call. I had this before, but this time I shut down my phone with the power button. I can't make phone calls ever since or use (3G) internet. At first I could use wifi, but after a hard reset to factory defaults and a cache wipe I couldn't use wifi either.
If I look under 'About the Phone ... Status' (not completely sure what the English version exactly reads) it does not show the IMEI or IMEISV, nor the Wi-Fi MAC-address, nor the Bluetooth-address. The Wi-Fi MAC-address was shown before the reset to factory defaults.
I can't access my phone with (the freshly installed newest version of) Kies, although the 3 drivers install correctly (under Windows 7) when attaching my phone to my PC. I can access the phone via USB (and Windows Media Player).
I tried 2 other SIM-cards. They had the same problem. My own SIM-card works in another (older Nokia / non Smart) phone in the sense that I can make phone calls with it.
My phone has not been rooted.
Android version: 2.3.5.
Any help and solutions to this problem are much appreciated!

You can hope that it isn't a hardware problem and try to Root your phone and flash a custom ROM and see if the problem still is there.
Cleaning the SIM slot maybe is also worth a try.
