Have you tried another sim card? Or tried your sim in another phone? Check those first to start the process of elimination.

Long of it: G1 wouldn't recognize -any- SIM card, tmobile or other. Tonight, popped a tmobile sim in, and it recognized it. Flashed an older JF rom and the phone worked fine on WIFI/Tmo. THis phone was unlocked 2 months or so ago.
Now, it says "Your SIM does not allow blah blah blah" when i try to use my att sim in the phone. I'm very certain about the unlock being proper.
I don't belive the SIM card was ever locked in any way, so the error seems odd, and the SIM card in question (ATT) works fine on my other two g1's.
Any ideas ?

so are u saying that you've inserted a different SIM card and the phone registered fine with a different carrier at that time ?

the sim itself isnt the lock issue - its the phones IMEI thats locked (or not)
try a replacement SIM from ATT???
Hello all, I bought a used HD2 off CL (USA), hoping to unlock it (if locked) and use it with my ATT prepaid sim.
Outwardly, the phone looks fine and everything about it works quite nicely, EXCEPT that when I insert my SIM card and start the phone, it shows me an exclamation mark on the antenna icon. When I disable all wireless connections and then re-enable it, the icon now changes to the SIM card icon with an 'x' next to it, and I am shown a screen with a keypad and the following message: 'The SIM card is missing. You can still make emergency calls if your service provider supports it.'
Thinking it was a ROM issue, I successfully loaded the latest ROM from [showthread.php?t=789506] but it did not resolve the issue. There is no issue with the SIM because it works nicely with my AT&T Samsung a607. There are no signal strength issues either.
Please help!
Can someone please provide some insight on my situation? I hope I haven't posted in the wrong forum; if so, mods may move it to the appropriate place.
Any advice on diagnosing the issue will be appreciated; I don't even know why the phone is acting the way it is. Many thanks!
Wait a moment, so your device isnt already SIM unlocked? Sounds to me like you need to go ahead and get an unlock code for it, then navigate to the \Windows folder and hit up the program called "simlock.exe" and input your unlock code, then try your ATT SIM again.
Thanks much for the reply. Other phones usually prompt for a SIM unlock code by themselves... why doesn't this one?
Running simlock.exe from Windows does give me the message "Network is locked, please input unlock code". Before I buy the code, I want to make sure that there's nothing physically wrong with the phone. It should give me at least *some* sign that my SIM is being recognized, but rejected due to network-locking, no?
Thanks again!
See thats the thing. With a foreign SIM card in the device, IF LOCKED, simlock.exe should run automatically on startup and ask for the code....so honestly I do not know if your device is messed up somehow, or if its just being wonky for the sake of being wonky. Perhaps you might want to flash a new Radio ROM and see if it then recognizes your SIM. BE SURE to NOT flash one with .51 in its name.
Thanks again. Can you point to a thread with detailed instructions for flashing a new radio ROM for my device? I found many threads while searching and I am confused. I don't want to choose the wrong instructions and brick this device; I haven't done anything of this sort before.
Look at the top of these forums for a stickie by Snarksneeze that will teach you everything you need to know.
Hi again... I don't have a spare 8GB MicroSD card lying around. Is there any way I can do this flashing over USB? I did read that there's a risk associated with flashing over USB (cable yanks, power loss, etc.) but I did flash the newest ROM without any issue, and hopefully I can do the same for the new Radio ROM.
The Radio version shown in the 'About Phone' section is 2.14.50.04, btw.
You can use your 16GB that came with the phone, or any other one for that matter. That requirement is more of a recomendation really. I have flashed with my stock 16GB many times. And yes, you can do it via USB aswell.
OK, so I have more information about the problem. I got the phone unlocked (I heartily recommend 'fastunlocker' on eBay) thinking that it would solve the issue... but it didn't. But, on a lark, I tried my friend's post-paid T-Mobile SIM in the HD2 and it worked! My AT&T pre-paid SIM does not... can this be a problem? The damn thing works nicely in other (unlocked) phones.
Is anyone else successfully using a AT&T GoPhone (prepaid) SIM on a TMOUS HTC HD2?
It may very well be the problem then. I have heard that some phones are incompatible with pre-paid SIMs.
God, that would suck donkeyballs. Can someone confirm that an unlocked TMOUS HD2 does not work with AT&T GoPhone prepaid SIMs?
had this same exact issue and realized that one of the pins in the sim card reader was stuck in the down position. I poked it with a small screwdriver and it popped back into place. works like a charm now.
Thanks for the reply. Are you sure this is the issue? As I mentioned in a previous post in this thread, my friend's T-Mobile SIM works nicely with the phone.
EDIT: Also, are you using it with an AT&T GoPhone SIM?
Bump... anyone?
Final bump: maybe I am SOL. :'(
Is anyone successfully using a TMOUS HD2 with an AT&T Prepaid (GoPhone) SIM?
Give it some time. Sometimes threads at XDA stay dormant for months and then suddenly BAM! a breakthrough happens.
I would say its your sim. How old is it?
I had the exact same problem. I bought a HD2 off cl and put my sim in and got the no sim message and exclamation point. I was using a sim from the voicesteam days but guess what it worked just fine in the Nexus one I had just gotten so I figured it had to be the phone. I finally used a friends sim and it worked fine. So I would turn the phone off in settings then slip his sim out with the battery still in and put my sim in and turn the phone back on. Guess what, it would work for about 10 min then it would suddenly go back to no sim message. So I went and got a new sim from T-Mobile and walla works like a charm. So try what I did and if you end up with the same problem try a new sim from AT&T. I don't know what is different about the HD2 but there something about the older sims that it doesn't like.
Hope that helps!
Hey... thanks for ther reply! My SIM is brand new (about two weeks old). I will however go to the AT&T store and get it replaced to see if it fixes the problem. Thanks again, I appreciate it.
Dear look my problem...

Hi everyone!
I am facing a very frustrating problem. I just got my Nexus 4 about 2 days ago. The problem is, that when I insert my MicroSIM card, the phone says NO SIM CARD.
Everything else on the phone works (I am able to find local GSM networks as well , so I don't think it's the GSM / UMTS modem). I have tried it with 4 different sim cards, but still nothing.
Can it be a software issue, or the sim card reader is corrupted? I don't know what to do.
Thanks for your replies in advance
I think you have a defective Sim Reader, get an RMA

I think so too.
If I remove the back cover of the phone, will it void warranty?

Probably. Did you by any chance reboot your phone after you inserted the SIMs?

Same issue here, any new ? I just received my N4, used it for 4 minutes and it said Cart sim removed and now it doesnt read it anymore
Well, I managed to get it work. The SIM reader was defective, I sent to get it repaired and now it's working fine.

I have the prob
I have a solution
I had the same problem. My solution is: don't use the microsim tray. Just put in the sim and get a good cover. It works like a charm.
So to make a long story short, an old straight talk sim card works on my phone but some red pocket sim cards do not. I have tried many things to make the sim cards be recognized like turning the phone off and on, taking the sim card out and putting it back in. I'm wondering if anyone knows of some reason for a new sim card to not work. I just got 10 sims from ebay so I'm going through them hoping that one will work.

nope.
Anybody have SIM issues on this phone? As in, the phone being unable to read the SIM?
I swapped out a sim this weekend, and the phone couldn't read it. Tried other SIMs that I know are working -- with no luck.

I'm having a similar issue, phone just stopped recognizing my SIM card, had to do a bunch of restarts/wipes.
After the restarts/wipes it started working OK?
