Heya,
I bought a 2th hand MDA pro in working order. I used it for a day or 2 when a problem appeared in the form of a Missing simcard message, out of nothing. I took the simcard out cleaned it and put it back in and it worked again, a few hours later the same error showed I cleaned the sim again booted up the phone and error was still there this went on for 4 times before I got it working again.
I started to search forums about this problem en stumbled upon a few suggesting that the sim holder was flacky and a piece of paper between the battery and card would work.
I did this and on first it looked like it was fixed because it ran for a day before it got back.
By now I changed the simcard -no success- I flashed the phone with 4 different roms including the original one - no success-
I'm running out of ideas with this does anyone had the same problem or are there any suggestions of what it might be?
Please help!

I have had this error before, but usually as a result of a build incompatability. I would suggest you try 2 things. re flash the radio to a different version 1.15 or 1.18 & try using Tomal's 8.2 ROM. Also try a SIM card (borrow one from a friend)from another service provider.

I know this is a really annoying problem, I had it with my Nokia E61 before (and still). After a week of sim registration failures, I decided to switch to another phone, (universal). I didn't got any solutions really, one is force the phone into gsm only, and uncheck confirm smscheck if possible.

Been playing around and tried a few roms but after Polaris ROM: udK 8.0 Vega R1 it wont recognise the sim card.
Any ideas?
Is the sim realy in place?? check it again... not the roms fault foresure, never heard of this kind of problem
Well thats what i thought, and i can still flash the phone to anything i like so definitly not screwed up the roms.
Just double checked and still says No Sim
Very strange? have u tried another rom? still the same thing?
Yup! tried another rom still the same problem, Originally i had bepes rom but this morning i tried to make a phone call and the ear speaker was dead couldn't hear anything so i tried the external speaker and this worked fine.
I thought be re-flashing or trying a different rom might solve this and now im left with "No Sim" message.
Maybe the phone is faulty?
or sim card fault? can you tried with another sim-card.. just a thought,
I don't have another sim but it does work in my old sony K800i with no problems.
Thanks for the suggestions so far.
So the SIM is ok as it works in another phone.
You have flashed twice so not the ROM . Hate to say it but I would flash back to original ROM and re SPL and get it back for exchange repair
Whhhooooo!!
Left the battery out for a few days and it can now read the sim!
Still got no audio from ear speaker guess its gotta go back
Hi,
Suddenly out of the blue my Touch-Cruise decided it does not find the uSIM card anymore.
tried anything i could think of:
tried the uSIM on another phone - ok
tried another uSIM on my Touch-Cruise - no SIM was found.
tried reflashing the ROMs (original ROMs - WM6 and afterwards the WM6.1 versions) --> nothing still not SIM is found
Has anyone else ever encoutered such a problem - it just happend with NO apparent reason one second it seems find the next i suddenly see the the device shows NO-SIM.
Please if anyone has any idea.......
hi i'm no expert but it sounds bolloxed if it's under warrenty flash back using offical ROM and send for repair
Hello.
I am a complete newbie. Own 8125 CIngular. Worked fine, I switched to T-mobile, unlocked it with lockiwiz 3a (thanks, machinagod). It worked great until I for some reasons had to pull the battery out. It quit recognizing sim in ther - any sim - old Att or new TM. IT is G3 phone, had 2.25 IPL/SPL. I flashed to TM 2.26 (per all the guides here), gsm 02.25.11, Everything loads up great except for the phone part - It's still "missing or invalid sim" What do I do? Please, help Thanks a lot in advance
did you try following the unlock procedure again?
try to move sim a little bit.. maybe it's displaced?
That what happened to me.
Good luck!
To echo the post above mine, I had that same problem at one point, and just taking the SIM card out and putting it back in solved the problem.
I faced a similar problem when I went to another country and used a local sim of that country. I kept putting the phone in 'airplane mode' for 5 minutes and when got that 'airline mode' off, it worked. Cumbursome but it worked.
i've been reading this forum for a while, but
today I ran into a problem I really can't
solve.hoping that
one of you guys could offer some advice.
Here's the deal (I'll try to make it as short
as possible):
I've got an xperia x8, which worked fine
on my previous official stock ROM 2.1.
I installed a custom ROM (froyobread v.12)today and i keep gettn notified that ''com.android.phone'' had
stopped unexpectedly.
I've done everything I can think of, but this
problem persists as long as the current
SIM card is in. After each force close, the error
just repeats itself. Here's what I know:
other SIM card works flawlessly in the
phone with the custom ROM.
The error doesn't occur until it tries to
connect to the cellular network with the current SIM
Neither a soft nor a hard reset does
anything.
As I see it, there are a couple of options:
I think The SIM card is incompatible with the ROM because it works great on my old phone n also works great when i go bact to my original stock ROM 2.1.
If anyone can offer some insight or advice,
I'll very much appreciate it!
Thanks!
Did you try a full wipe? And just btw, I have a something like 10 years old sim card and it runs ok with FroyoBread
This is a known error for all custom ROMs. There are reports from Vietnamese guys saying that with some SIM cards it got FCs.
The only solution is to change SIM card, hopefully it will be compatible with custom ROMs. I don't have any problem like this so I cannot fix it myself.
yh gravier i did all the wipes seems to happen only when i put that particular sim in.
dx exactly what i have in mind, sad part is my operator phased out all the old type of sim and replaced it with this new type which is givin me all dis problems. thanks for d help man n oh great rom
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.
