Hello everyone! I hope somebody can help me with my problem on my SOLA. As stated on the title on top I lost my Sim network Signal. The icon on top of the screen has been grayed out. It started when my SOLA was running a custom ROM SlimKat by alwaysadeel. I am not blaming the veloper but it goes like this, while the sola was on SlimKat I had this Advanced task killer pro installed on the phone. In the app, there is this FIX button at the buttom of the screen so hit it and then I started losing the Sim signal. I tired to hit that FIX button but nothing happened. Then I switch back to Stock ICS but the problem with sim signal is still there. Then I am seeing this "SIM not provisioned MM # 2 error" SIM that I tried to used during this issue are working/operational on other phones so I am definite that it is the device itself ha the problem and not the simcards. I even relocked my bootloader and tried fixing wigth PCC but I am so clueless how to fix it with PCC. If anybody has solution to this problem please I need your help. Thanks a lot.
Well, this is strange, you should be able to see signal after switching to stock ROM.
Assuming its a s/w fault.
anyways, first, the error means either sim card is corrupted or it hasn't been activated yet. Both are not possible in your case as we n=know they are working on other sets.
I suppose you are seeing this error AFTER switching to stock ICS, right ?
now, possible troubleshooting :
first, try CM, or again install SlimKat. After this you can try different kernels too.
second, check your ics release, it should be of your region, MT27a or MT27i, version should be right.
after downloading correct version, flash using flashtool, wipe everything.
hope it helps, as the problem is unique, i cannot think of any other possible solution.

I have a similar problem in a Xperia U, I've flash a CM9 rom like a month ago, and was working incredible, smooth, fast, everything ok, till this monday when lost signal, works ok with wifi, and also with data (at least in whatsapp, no fb, or youtube) but I can´t send sms or make a call, I've tried to flash stock (ICS) but the problem is there, even flashing just the baseband and the complete firmware with flashtool, I'll tried with GB now, but don´t know what else to do, when power on, recognize the carrier (for one or two seconds) then loose it, and when you search for networks, it say (Error al buscar redes) that an error ocurred, if you find a solution please share it, or if anyone have any suggestions, they are welcome... Thanks!!
PS. Can you believe it!?!?!?! MY own company have mi IMEI denied, I use a provisory sim card, FROM the carrier for a few days, while they changed my real number and gime my new sim card, to be able to change of company (carrier), then, a couple of months later, they discharged that "disposal" line and my IMEI went down with it, now I have to go to the office and solve the problem that they create me. Sorry, I know is offtopic, but I want to share in case someone else have this issue.

Hi Guys, hoping someone can help me here.
I know I have replied to another thread asking the same question, but I wanted to ask in my own post so I could detail exactly what I have done in the hope someone can point out to me what a complete idiot I have been and put me right.
I tried to upgrade my sons phone this week which was on MiniCM7-2.07. I followed all the instructions to unlock bootloader etc and all seemed to go well, I booted up into MiniCM7-2.15 successfully however there is no network coverage, and there hasnt been since. The phone was sim unlocked about a year ago but I cant remember if I got Orange to do it for me or I paid one of the various unlockers for the code. I know it was never hooked up to a separate machine (SETOOL?). I tried my original Orange SIM in it to see if that fixed it, but still no joy.
You are able to browse the various networks available as it searches for them and finds them, but when you choose a certain network it returns with an error that your SIM will not work with that network, or words to that effect.
If you take the SIM out you get a totally different error, so pretty sure the SIM carrier is working.
So, to rectify this I relocked the bootloader and used SEUS to go back to stock 2.1. This all worked fine apart from I still have no network. WIFI works fine, but no data or phone calls.
I have tried flashing other kernels, again with no joy, always the same problem.
What else can I try? I used to do mess around with linux so I know my way around console, is there a module in the kernel I could try swapping or changing? Surely there is something that is controlling that part of the phone that has been changed and isnt being changed back again? What does SEUS do, does it just restore the ROM or is it the kernel too?
Really hoping someone can help with this, as of this moment the x10mini is as good as a chocolate tea pot to me
Tony
Did you find a decision of your problem? I have the same problem, with the only difference that I never changed the ROM. I just rooted the phone with the SuperOneClick tool, and then tried to unlock the bootloader, but with no luck there. After completing all the steps in the tutorial with no problems during the process, it remained locked.
And I just realized after that, that the phone has the sim card problem, just as yours.
So any suggestions?
guys first of all let's try a test if you have an unlocked bootloader go ahead and flash the latest nAa Kernel (nAa-10) then from that kernel install MiniCM7 2.1.8 and tell me your results if it was negative you should reflash all Without locking the bootloader from SEUS via the Repair option therefore after this it should work as the SEUS restore all the software kernel and ROM to its original state from the manufacturer Sony Ericsson.
let me know what will happen with you.
Any feedback on this?
Thanks!

I have same problem but as someone tried to call me in the middle of the unlocking procedure the network went dead and I cant get it back.
Hey guys,
This is my first post here so please be nice I will try be as informative as I can!
Last week my aunt got a Samsung Galaxy S2 as an upgrade after my recommendation. She loved the look of things and liked how she could access Youtube and Facebook but then she got locked out of her phone completely and couldn't get back in because she didn't know her Gmail account.
After a bit of research I found out that I should do 'Hard Reset' and all should be back to normal afterwards, I did so and everything looked okay.
After giving the phone back to her my aunt said she no longer wanted it and gave it to me because it was too 'complicated'. Obviously I was overjoyed as my current phone does not even compare to this beast!
I put in my Orange sim, (hers was Orange too) turned on the Wi-Fi to update all the apps not even noticing that the 3g icon wasn't on. I could see the phone had some signal so I thought everything was okay. It was only when I tried to call my dad of the phone that I realised something was wrong. It said 'Mobile Network not Available'.
I have found many threads about 'rooting' or IMEI but I don't understand what they mean as I am a newbie in all of this.
I would send the phone for repair but it does not have insurance so that's a no go. The phone came unlocked too so I don't understand why it's doing this. The sim I put in works on my old phone so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with it.
What should I do?
Looking forward to your replies
See * HERE *
Remove your battery and your sum card.
Wait 10 seconds put them back in and reboot.
If problem still exists go to
settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks. Select your carrier network.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Thank you for your replies samgalaxys2 and dred_up, I appreciate it!
I tried doing what you said samgalaxys2 but nothing's changed, I tried doing it myself before but no luck
In reply to your questions on the other thread I can confirm that my sim works as it works on my old phone. I can also create contacts on the sim too.
I don't know what the EFS folder is but when I dial that number you said (*#06# ) I can also confirm that the IMEI is the same number shown in my settings and underneath the battery.
What should I do?
Wiska.
The fault = put your sim in the phone then not working .
First step has to be to get a new sim .
That would be followed by either a return to a service centre or via XDA a flash of new stock firmware .

Have you tried the Access Point Names in the network settings, mine changed it's self after flashing a new rom.
Hello JJEgan, I have tried various working sim cards and it doesn't make a difference, I even tried a brand new T-Mobile sim. In the 'About Phone' section I can clearly see the Sim's name but it always says Out Of Service underneath.
I have tried that too s.d.oconnor, at times it doesn't work and when it does it says something like 'Network Updated' but nothing changes.
What do you guys mean by 'Flash of new Stock Firmware' & 'Flashing new Rom'
Sorry for the amount of questions guys, I have never experienced something like this before

Hmm okay,
I followed the thread and had to do it at-least 3 times before I could do it 'correctly'
I managed to get Ice Cream Sandwich OS on the phone and although I could now use the sims internet I can't use it to call or access my voicemail.
What can I do to fix this?
If I have to download a new rom could you copy the link because I think that maybe that's where I went wrong?
I am sorry but I tried my best as it is my first time doing all of this.
I think the Rom should be an XX as the phone and myself are in England plus my network is Orange
Wiska.
You can use the Dutch firmware XEN without problems...
Also is your fone a i9100P (NFC) or standard i9100?
Or take fone into Orange or a Samsung repair centre to have it checked out.
Hmm do you recommend I Flash it again and get XEN?
Do you think they'll repair it even though it has been flashed? I've got ICSandwich on it and I don't think Orange has released it yet lol
I tried to change the APN but nothing is happening

If it was a Orange (UK) branded phone, then first download, install and run Triange_away app. This will reset the custom rom flashing counter and take away any triangle at boot up (if present).
Next you need to download and flash the BVKJ4 rom from * HERE * - it is the latest official Orange UK ROM. It will wipe the phone to factory setting and you will loose root. It may solve your problem, but if it doesn't it will put your phone back to valid warranty for the service centre.
Sorry for the late reply, the amount of work college gave us yesterday was just too much!
Thank you for the link fred_up but the links are dead
Thank you for trying to help though, I really appreciate it mate!
Anyone know what I should do?
Search for the stock rom you're after on Samfirmware.com.
Edit to add - Make a note of the rom details from Intra's thread (the one you were linked to where the links don't work), that will make searching Samfirmware easier.
Thank you MistahBungle!
I am downloading what looks to be the firmware I need right now so fingers crossed it works!
Many thanks for the help mate! I will keep you updated if it works or not
I tried the latest Orange one but that didn't do anything, I then tried using the Carphone Warehouse one and although the 3G internet stuff works I can't call or text!
This is so annoying lol, any advice?
The phone isn't locked or anything as my aunt gave it to me, what can be the problem?

Hi guys, I need your help badly, plzzzz.
So, it happened one day that my phone kept restarting after I wanted to call my mum. Every time the phone booted up, and i typed in the right PIN, the problem remaind.
I tought that a factory reset could solve the problem...it couldn't. (btw, without the SIM in it, the phone worked; thats how i menaged to do a factory reset). After that i managed to upgrade the firmware (from 2.1.1.A.0.6 to 2.1.1.C.0.0) even though that PCC said that there is no upgrade for my phone. Finally I solved the problem, but just for i while. Everything was good till i dialed again, the problem reappeared.This time it didn't recognise the SIM anymore and i had no signal, but the restarting stoped.
Then i tried something else. I wanted to unlock the bootloader, but it was already unlocked (i bought the phone secondhand), so I replaced the stock kernel and the rom, with nAa kernel(v.13) and a MiniCM7-2.2.1 custom rom. But the problem still remains. The current state is that i keep recieving "Insert the SIM card, and restart the phone" notification, and i have no signal, everything else is work fine. Plz give me suggestions what to do, to restore the cell to usable state. Thank you for advance for you'r assistance.

Repair to stock rom and lock your bootloader might do the trick.. don't lock the bootloader on a custom kernel.
Looking for some help or suggestion as this problem came up out of no where.
using XWLPM Unbranded, Unlock Version. phone working with TELUS Canadian carrier. out of no where, all the sudden im getting the prompt of Enter Network Unlock Control Key. not getting any signal with the SIM card.
My SIM do not believe is locked and nor is the firmware. anyone have the same problem or know what the heck is going on as im running a unlock 4.0.4 XWLPM version and not sure how to get rid of that.
Thanks:crying:

since ver 4.0.4 has some issues, would suggest u to rewert back to stock 4.0.3 and then see if the issue persists, if its not there then stay with v4.0.3 untill a stable v4.0.4 is released
ps- do not make any wipes in recovery, or backup ur phone with the same with v4.0.4 since the same can potentially brick ur phone
SIM is not dead. turn out to be a phone issue. not resolved yet but find it very strange how it can go from non-lock to locked with network control key prompt.
used GSII repair from the market, it resolved the issue but now the phone is unable to turn on any security pattern prompt for instance, and it has a weird box logo right on the home screen.
anyone had this problem before?
Yes I've suddenly had this issue, but found the app 'Galaxy_S Unlock' on the market which quickly resolved my phone being locked.
But the problem persists as it randomly locks itself again, and I have to use this app again, bit of a pain as this is a work phone, but luckily it still unlocks with this app.
Looking for a permanent solution, anyone have any ideas what the real issue is here, and yes I'm using v4.o4 firmware on my phone.
My SII just got the OTA update to 4.04 this morning and is now doing the same thing, my carrier is pretty indifferent as its unlocked so I'm trying to get help out of Samsung. Mostly adding my 2c to give the topic a bump
Same trouble here after a flash to Resurrection v3.0.5, prompt of Enter Network Unlock Control Key.
Tried the unlock apps from the market and no go, tried flashing a few other Roms, restored a few nandroid backups, factory resets and still nothing. Put the SIM into my backup phone to test and no problems with that.
Strange when accessing the menu at *#7465625# the network locks were listed as off.
What did work for me was to flash back to the original stock Rom that came with the phone (KG2 Bell). After the reboot there was still no signal so I entered stock recovery and did a factory reset, cleared cache partition/dalvik cache, fix permisions and reboot.
After that all has been working good and was able to flash back to my nandroid backup.
I just packed it off to Samsung, they didn't admit fault but the phone is out of warranty but they are fixing it free of charge. Smells like victory..
Please someone help me, I dont know if this post is allowed here or where to put it. Im just desperately needing a help..
I've flashed my rom, everything is fine. I found the right rom for my device.. Everything is working fine except the sim card.. The problem is, my phone is detecting my sim, but I dont have "signal bars logo" in upper right and my Sim Management is grayed out.. I cant access Sim toolkit too.
I got my Imei number and its not "null" or "invalid".
I just dont know why theres no network.. :'(
Or this problem, when i tried wiping the data and cache using recovery mode, the samsung logo is vanished and the phone are able to detect the sim card, but since the imei number is "null" or "invalid", I dont have signal. So i tried restoring my imei and everything is fine. I got signal.
But the problem is, When i switch the data on, Im only getting an Edge signal(E) and not WCDMA(H). When i tried to change the setting by making it "WCDMA only", my signal lost.
Its like, the phone lost its capability of having a 3G signal.. How to fix this problem?
Please, someone help me. Ive already spent 3 days of searching but still no solution.. Please please someone help..
See my device's info below, and if ever someone knows or someone has same rom of my device, please send me a download link..
Thanks in advance!
Heres the screenshot and see, I dont have signal and sim management is grey and cant open..
