Greetings,
I bought a Touch Cruise about 4 months ago. Everything seems to be working fine, until all of a sudden it will no longer recognize Sim Card and sync. I have done both Hard and Soft reset several times. I have swapped sim cards out and try to sync with different computers, but had no luck.
I do not know what's going on with it. Any suggestion will be very helpful.
Cheers
Why not trying another ROM?
regards,
How can I flash a different rom? I am unable to sync with pc. Is there any way to flash it with a different rom or maybe radio?
Do you success to access to the bootloader ? If you can you can boot without activesync sync.
I dont have access to bootloader.
Is there any way I can flash through sd card? What steps are required to do it?
Surly your phone is still under warranty, why not send it back to be repaired or replaced?

Please help,
I have an unlocked T-Mobile WING and the tap screen suddenly does not respond. After going thru the forums one option that I have is to hard reset.
Does the phone still stay unlocked after the hard reset? I went thru a lot to get it unlocked!
I also need to know what do I need to backup before the hard reset? Contacts, calender, tasks, theme, other files? Is the only way to do a backup on WING is thru Activesync on a PC?
I used to own a Blue Angel where I could back up everything on the storage card and thus restore using xBackup. Is there no similar feature with the WING?
first of all ... define "unlocked"
SIM unlock or CID unlock?
If the touch screen doesn't work, Is he OS operable? do the hardware keys work? Are you able to navigate thru the phone using the wheel and hardware keys?
Connect it to a PC and setup activesync to backup any files you need... you can explore the phone with your PC and save any files you need ... as well as backing up your contacts with activesync.
You can try doing a hard reset or running the Stock RUU
which will restore the factory ROM ... or you can try installing any other 3rd party Rom depending on what you have done to your phone regarding what you call "unlocking."
Thanks dupred, the phone is 'SIM unlocked' I use it in Africa on my local network..
Everything else works fine, all the hard keys and alternative navigation works apart from the tap screen which suddenly just stopped without any impact on the phone!
Sorry, just noticed that its duprade!
Try a hard reset ... hopefully that will fix it.
Regarding whether or not the phone will remain unlocked... I don't know, I've never SIM unlocked my phone, so I couldn't tell you... maybe someone else has the answer to this question.
sim unlock should ALWAYS stay in place no matter what phone you have. thats the nature of a sim unlock.
Ive been having some problems off and on with my phone not getting any service. I would restart the phone and it would work for a while. But now I cannot get service anywhere and the phone seems to not work at all.
Has anyone else experienced this or are there any tricks to try and fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the device seems to be now useless. Thanks
Yep, same with me. I've just upgraded ROM to Faria's last version and still not working the dam phone func
My provider is Vodafone-PT, and i have a Dual Simcard. Even when the other sim is off (unregistered on the vdf network) my hermes simply doesn't register. Not even the emergency number calls are avaiable!!! However, all the other funcs are working fine.
I think it is a softw issue, but i'm still not getting to the point to solve this problem...hope some masters can help us.
regards
plenty of things you can try and troubleshoot with, hard reset, check for bad blocks, flash new radio/ROM.
As XtreMe_G said. I've been running Faias for the last week or two with no radio problems. HR problems, now thats another story. Mke me wanna go back to wm06.
...my problem now is WORST...i've tried to downgrade SPL to unlock CID and SIM, but for somehow the active sync crashed during the rom upgrade. Now i only see the tricolor screen, and active sync doesn't recognize my term!!!
The tri-color screen is bootloader mode and active sync will not recognize your device at this point. Start the ROM upgrade again and go through it. Sometimes the cooked ROMs might flash otherwise always, shipped roms are capable of being flashed from bootloader itslef.

noob here - i explain as best as i can.
8525 bricked one day.
tried everything listed here (read for a few hours on hard SPL, etc.)
got frustrated - put my sim card back into old phone.
decided i would try to start up 8525 after a few weeks.
it actually loaded up WM!!! seemed to be working fine.
pulled battery to put in sim card.
back to being stuck in bootloader.
tried a bunch of different things again... loaded hard spl via SD card...ended up pulling sim card out... did a hard reset...eventually got it to boot to WM again.
put sim card back in and got stuck at bootloader.
tried to run hard spl again, even reflased the wm6 rom i got from HTC...no dice.
any ideas??? did i miss anything???
thanks in advance...
i bought a t-mobile hd2, it is unlocked since it doesn't ask for a code, if i insert sim card it gets freeze every couple of minutes i tried to flash new rom change radio spl, nothing worked. only if i take the sim out it works like charm but the moment i put the sim in i freezes, i tried different sim same problem ? i did search cant solve my problem
If it's your SIM card, just take it into T-mobile, they'll replace it free & quick. But make sure you have the stock rom on it when you take it in or it will void any warranty.
If it's your microSD card try formatting it to your phone. If that doesn't work it's probably corrupt. Not sure if it's covered or not.
Sorry I couldn't be of much more help, but I'm sure one of these brilliant minds on here can help more.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It didn't ask for a code? so you aren't with T-mobile then I'm guessing..
You might wanna try a hard-reset, and if there's an SD card in there try taking it out.
Hi all,
I have a problem with my XC, i hope there's someone here who could help me out with this .
I get a SIM card error when i start the phone. After a while (5-10 mins) the error transforms into "No Service" as if the phone now detects the SIM card but has no service whatsoever.
Things i did to my phone prior to this:
- unlocked bootloader
- installed custom recovery
- root
- installed custom ROM
- drm fix
The phone did function properly for a few months actually after these operations without a SIM card error even once. But then i tried to install custom ROMs again (and i'm sure didn't flash ROMs not suited for XC) -actually tried to install "existenz" ROM but i did get a bootloop so i -once again- did the usual procedure with flashtool and flashed a firmware to set everything back to stock as close as possible. That was, when i started to get the SIM card errors. After several restarts (cold and warm) the phone sometimes recognized the SIM card and i could use the phone normally. But this was true only till the next restart, where i got the same SIM errors again.
Things i tried:
- flashed several different firmwares (official) with flashtool (wiping everything) - all the newest firmwares.
- *#*#72786#*#* in dialer to wipe carrier settings
- *#*#4636#*#* in dialer to go into phone settings and changing those settings randomly
- flashed another AOSP based custom ROM instead of stock sony
- wiping and formatting everything between the flashes of course
- cleaning and re-inserting SIM card (which i never took out before anyway)
But unfortunately nothing worked. Phone keeps to not recognizing the SIM card (which is working just fine in another phone). Everything else works just fine on the phone. The IMEI is displaying correct. I'm almost certain that the fault isn't hardware-based (i didn't drop the phone or exposed in water etc.) but software-based. Did i just managed to brick my phone by flashing something related to the modem which i'm not aware of?
I can't find any solutions on google, which help me, which is why i'm posting it here. Sorry for the long post.
Did anyone experience such an error and/or knows what else i could try to fix this? I hope for answers
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
I've got the same problem.
I didn't unlock the bootloader or anything prior to getting the bug.
I wanted to downgrade to nougat, because aparently it helped someone in the forum below, but I didn't manage to do it.

Did you try nougat, when flashing different firmwares?
Your post makes me question if its worth it, trying to downgrade.
Try to remove sd card if you have one. then restart the phone and see if sim card is recognized.
I had the same problem and I think it was a hardware failure in the end.
I also tried almost all the things you were writing above. In my phone it started slowly. Sometimes the SIM was detected but after some time the connection was lost.
It happened some time after I installed a new battery.
But since there are no original batteries available for the device anymore and the new battery was even worse than the 5 year old original battery, I gave up investigating the SIM issue and don't use the phone any longer.
I bought a new (used) x compact because I still like the size and I saw some development was going on for this device.
In the end I cannot tell whether the SIM was not detected because I broke something while changing the battery or due to age of the phone but I think it was a "normal" failure.
I also read from others that they had the problem and the SIM was working for some time after I switched the battery before it stopped working.
Nevertheless. Good Luck to you. Maybe it is something different on your phone.
