This is no locked phone (not supposed to be one, maybe I locked it myself ???) but I can't get it to boot with some SIM cards.
I'm in Belgium. My SIM is a Base SIM and it works fine.
With either my wife's SIM (Base too) or Proximus SIM, it won't boot.
It does the same without SIM btw. I see the screen powered ON but nothing else UNLESS I set it to boot to CWM which it does fine.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thank you

Hi!
I have CID unlocked my 3100 (already SIM unlocked) and I flashed WM 61 Pro V1g everything is working fine but the problem is it's working only, on the one SIM card I used while unlocking the phone. Any other card I put in (even cards from the same carrier) it gives me "SIM failure" so normaly I can't turn on the phone function. Can anybody help me at what could be the cause.
P.S.: I have tried flashing other ROMS but it's the same thing on every one.
I have tried to CID unlock the phone with another card in but it's the same.

Hi! Again...
To clear something up I did tried a different Radio and now I can use 2 of 3 providers in Switzerland (Orange and Swissscom) but the 3rd one Sunrise (the one I am using) want work. I tried two sifferent Sim cards from that provider and they both gave me a Sim failure.
Could that have to do something with the voltage of the card or is it something else.
Please I need help, cause I realy want to use this phone but I can't just change providers because of the phone.
Help!!! Please.

i had the same problem on Qtek 8500 with new Beeline SIM-cards. The problem was solved by changing that new SIM card to older.
Thanks for the answer but my SIM card is from 2003 so any older would not be an option. I just thought it had something to do with the radio or the ROM and maybe could be fixable but thank you anyway and keep up the good work, the WM6.1 Pro is great!!!!
P.S.:Kosovo was and will always be Serbia.
A friend of mine had one of those disposable phones & I took the sim out and put it into my unlocked 8500 to see what would happen. I got the same error, sim card failure so it might be that while your phone is unlocked, your carrier may have locked the sim. Just my .02 on that one.
I bought a used galaxy s3 that seems fine except that i can't get it to work with my sim card. I always get the searching & not registered on network when trying to dial. The sim card works fine on other phones. the phone is running android 4.3... Any idea of what could be the problem and how to fixx it?
Are you sure that you phone isn't sim locked?
If it were sim locked you would get a request for the unlocking code at boot. Most likely the phone has been tampered or broken, either wrong modem or efs folder corrupt.
Search and read for the available fixes.
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 recently unlocked my Galaxy J7 Sky Pro from the tracfone carrier (called them, got two codes, put them in and device said it is now unlocked).
Now when I try to insert a different sim card the phone seems to have no service, even though the sim card is recognized (asks me for the pin and logs in properly). In fact that sim card is a prepaid european one, from the german carrier O2, but since J7 Sky Pro can do LTE connection I though that should work fine?
What do you guys think, is there something I could do to fix the issue?
My exact model is:
SM-S727VL
And android version is:
6.0.1
One kind of annoying thing is that even though I unlocked the phone, it still shows the tracfone logo on startup. Maybe the firmware is preventing the european sim card to connect to a tower? Is there some "international" version of firmware I could update to to make it work?
Thanks for any suggestion!
Hey everyone, I put a sim card in my Moto One (unlocked bootloader, carrier unlocked, not stock, rooted) and it wont detect the sim card. I am trying to use a Virgin (canada) sim card in it. The phone was purchased in Saudi Arabia. Is there any way to fix this? My phone wont even show an IMEI number.
