My unrooted unmoded Legend got updated twice today. First update was some wifi performance fix and then the second one (Froyo) did not have much description.
After update, it was getting stuck at "loading" after booting. "Process com.android.phone is not responding" started poping up.
Did a hard reset. Now it displays "No SIM card in phone. Please insert a SIM card." Tried three different SIMs. Same message..
Can someone help me short of sending it back to retailer. Does anyone else have the same problem?

I'm not a pro, but I had the same problem, try to run the phone wihtout simcard after hard reset, it should run you thru the first settings, after you do them, turn the phone off and put the sim back in. That Helped me... but as of this moment I'm thinkin of downgrading, the froyo for legend is a mess, nothing really works, com.android.settings keeps crashing and I have huge reception lossses all the time ... people can't even call me
Hello ,
You are my last hope before sending my phone to the service center.
The phone is an Omnia 7 (i8700) orange uk.
The phone was unlocked using an unlocked code service.
The problem is that the device stopped recognized any sim since I did a factory reset.
I have tried 3 different sim and i receive invalid sim or no sim error.
I flashed the phone to the latest firmware from samfirmware.com(I8700XXJK1) but no result.
I have tried the *#7465625# code and i get the following :
SIM/USIM Lock : disabled
Network Lock : disabled
Network Subset Lock : disabled
Service Provider Lock : Disabled
Corporate Lock : Disabled
The phone was working with my local Vodafone SIM till the factory reset.
Is there anything i can try?
Please Help...
When does the error appear?
You could try using the Network profile app? Or maybe a reflash?

Hi ,
When i open the phone i get the following error :
SIM error
The SIM card is missing ord invalid. You can still make emergency calls if your service provider supports it.
I updated Network Profile App from marketplace but Vodafone Greece or any other Greek carrier are not included.
I really dont understand. My Vodafone GR SIM was working normally until the reset.
I have also tried to SIM from different carriers with the same result.
What should i try?
Please help!
Do you beliave that it is a hardware or a software problem?

Since you've flashed the I8700XXJK1 firmware, have you tried hard resetting? Just try that. Also, you could always try a full re-flash.

From the OP's postings it would seem that it's a software problem - else it was very unfortunate timing for a hardware failure.

I assume the sim card slot malfunctioned due to some hardware issue. It will not detect any sim card and will keep on generating errors. Re-flashing won't help either. It is better to return the phone in warranty and do not take any chances. There are good chances that the device will be replaced.
Regards.

The last hope that i have is to flash the device with the new firmware that is going to be released in the next days.
Is there any code from "##634#" menu that i can try to check if there is any lock in the phone?
Oddly, mine has just done the same thing. All of a sudden its telling me there is no Sim installed. Have tried multiple sims with no joy. Would like to format the device and start from scratch but i will lose all my contacts and sms's ...... brilliant

I'm having the same problem, it just won't accept a Vodafone UK sim. I've just done a full re-flash following the instructions on winrumors.com about restoring a bricked Omnia 7.
Still no joy, just the same error message mentioned in the OP.
Any ideas what else to try?
Hello guys.

Hi Looter,
Are you also on Vodafone UK? My Omnia still works with other networks, its just Voda which gives me the error message. I've tried three different working Vodafone sims now and they all give the same message.
Worryingly its the same error message that you get if you boot up the phone with no sim at all installed!
We need help please XDA guru's!

Hi ,
I bought my Omnia 7 from Ebay.
It was Orange UK branded and sim locked.
I purchased the unlocked code and I was able to use my local greek SIM after unlocking it.
Since i did a factory restore , the phone does not recognize any of the local SIM that i have tried returning the invalid SIM error message.
I have tried Vodafone Greece , Cosmote Greece and Wind Hellas SIM cards with the same result.
Have you tried another unlock solution, like the Omnia 7 one available on FastGSM?
Maybe that will do the trick?

SIM/USIM Lock : disabled
Network Lock : disabled
Network Subset Lock : disabled
Service Provider Lock : Disabled
Corporate Lock : Disabled
The device shows that there is no SIM lock.
Can someone confirm if a second cody apply will fix the issue?
I think when the phone is SIM locked it returns a different error message and not "invalid sim" , isn't it?
Where are the forum gurus?
My device is showing the simlock as disabled also. I only get the error message when trying to use a Vodafone UK sim though. All other sim cards do not produce that error and instead they boot straight to the home screen.
I'm really tempted to try another unlock because nothing else has worked so this seems like the last option.

So when you use SIM cards different than Vodafone UK you don't receive the error message and you are able to make calls, correct?
I wish i had an orange uk SIM to try out.
Let's hope that someone with greater knowledge will help us soon...

Yeah that's correct, in theory. The other sim cards are old Pay & Go sims that have been cut off due to not being used for around 8 years! But they boot straight to the home screen without the error message, just don't get any signal.
I've tried re-unlocking the phone as well and can confirm it was a waste of $20.
Samsung Focus
Hi, I bought my Focus off a dealer on eBay. It seems the problem is that once the device has been unlocked through services like fastGSM, when the phone is given a hard reset changes the setting applied. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

So , as far as i understand , the problem is software and not hardware.
Doz007 mentioned that his phone was still not able to recognize the different SIMS after applying the unlock code for second time.
You verified that the same problem exists in Focus after a hard reset so this is not a Omnia 7 only issue.
Please verify that the lock menu of your phone is in disabled status (check my previous post).
I am really surprised that none has any knowledge to help us with this issue.
Tons of service codes have been posted for our devices but we need some direct help in order to save our phones.
Dear everyone,
Please help me!!! I cannot send the SMS on my GS2, but I can receive SMS. I read from the screen:" Message not sent, Revie message and try again"
I asked three, which is my operator. But the technician is not very helpful. He tried to tell me to restart the phone, get out the sim card and put it back in the phone and restart, it wouldn't work. And I also tried to setup the configurations in Messaging----Settings----Text message (SMS) settings-----Message Centre. However, this option is grey and I cannot change.
I went to google and found some people was talking about the SMSC. Before this problem happened, I did try *#*#4636#*#*-----Phone information several times, and maybe accidentally changed the SMSC, so I tried to put +447782000800 (three service centre number) in but every time it is "update error". Can anybody here help me out?? Thank you very much!
Same prob here

I did it 100 times , diffirent roms ... didnt help ..
I had the exact same problem and tried flashing several different ROMs on the phone, but it turns out the problem was that the message center number got deleted for some reason. On my phone the option wasn't grayed out and I was able to change it to the correct setting, which fixed my SMS-sending issue. Is your phone rooted?

OP you need a service centre .
Just a thought man who install multiple roms often lose EFS . Does your phone report its correct IMEI number .

My brother's MX is having some trouble. It worked fine yesterday, though his battery seemed to drain faster than mine, but today we're getting a nice new message:
"Serial number not found."
In the "About" menu, Baseband version, Serial number, and IMEI are all blank. We've tried the simple things like factory reset, format then factory reset, and we're still stuck with the same error. Some interweb searching shows an error by the same name with the Transformer Prime and it may be related to ICS itself.
Settings also continues to crash: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
Suggestions?
IMEI updated 20 min ago. Baseband just updated 5 min ago. No joy on serial still.

Bring it back to the service center?
That will be difficult, since I believe the nearest one will be in Hong Kong (almost 9,000 miles away).
My brother's managed to flash 1.1.5, hoping the upgrade would do it, but it still won't identify the device's serial number. Hopefully it will find the IMEI again so we can shoot Meizu an email and ask them what is going on and how to fix it.

Hello BBEG,
My nephew has also an mx phone and he has a problem. He recently lost its imei nr. How did u get ur imei nr back. We searched on internet but couldn't find any solution. Hopefully u can solve or point us in the right direction. Thanks in.advance
My phone was previously unlocked... I installed a custom rom and after that my phone started acting up... It wont read the sim card and when i went to check the settings it tell me that the baseband is unknown the imei is unknown ans the software version is also unknown.... If anyone has had this issue and has been able to fix this can someone please help me
I happened to me once, and I flashed a Stock original ROM via ODIN and it fixed it, although I had to call Sprint because whenever I tried to make a call it gave me an error message, apparently I got "kicked off the network". Next time do a back up of your efs folder!!!!!!!
