Have you tried another sim card. Your sim card might be shot.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
My MT4G won't read a SIM either, I put a folded in half piece of paper in the SIM slot and slide the SIM in under it to make proper contact. It's no big deal, I've thought of getting it fixed but it's not worth it.
Give it a try, see what happens. Make the paper about 1/2 the width of the SIM slot and long enough to grab it to remove the SIM if needed.

So here's my problem. As far as i can tell i am reproducing the steps to create
a gold card to the letter. However after spending close to £30 on SD cards and
getting nowhere I'm pretty much either the most unlucky S.O.B on the planet
or I'm doing it wrong, which i really don't think i am at all, I am very methodical
and re-trace my steps two, sometimes three times.
If i am just unlucky, there must be a way to tell if a card is capable of
becoming a gold card. What exactly are the requirements for a Micro SD card
to retain the HEX'd info without failing to mount? It can't be random chance
that every time i click 'save' then exit from HXD my pc/phone refuses to read
the card as a mountable, formatted file system.
another thing I've noticed is that the Information you write over in OFFSETs
01 (or whatever it is) to 170 are replicated in the second block just after it.
Is that a security back up of the CID security check on the card? because
I can't see why the card would have it twice if it had no intention of using it.
I'm probably wrong about that but It was worth mentioning.
Really my question is what EXACT make and model number has worked for
people? If enough people post in this thread with the data I will make a database
that i will maintain for people who; like myself are having serious problems
finacially getting a gold card sorted out.
So please post as follows:
Manufacturer: blah blah
Model: ohh blah
Model Number: sdsdsd
Batch Number: sdwe23e
Don't worry if there is missing information. Just post as much as you can.
If there is more or different information than i posted please post that also.
Thanks.
Confirmed working:
transcend 8gb class 6 card
ScanDisk Mobile Ultra 8GB
i got it working with a transcend 8gb class 6 card
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-microSDHC-Memory-adapter-TS8GUSDHC6/dp/B001IAMME8
didnt work first 4-5 times tho
kept trying and it worked
i would suggest instead of buying soo many cards, you keep trying
So you format the card in phone.
Take the card out, into the PC reader.
HEX edit and save.
Remove.
Boot phone with the card in.
And if it fails, repeat?
Also, noted the make and model of your card, thanks.

I've heard it works either way.
When you have edited the card and it's in the phone, can the phone read it
or does it come up as blank?
Also, in the quides where it says "reboot with card inserted" does that mean the boot console
or a normal boot? Sorry for the 101 questions btw.
It works with the stock SD card that come with the phone. Your best of having a card reader and plugging it into the pc to edit certain parts. Just do exactly as you say and you will be fine.
I have a tmobile hero also and my problem is the fact that the goldcard bit seems to work and my pc can read the card, but when following the tutorials and doing the backups, it fails, i hate tmobile
ah and Im using a ScanDisk Mobile Ultra 8GB, tried it with the stock 2GB and same problem

Same here,... SD card that came with handset worked fine.
Initially failed when using Windows 7 64bit but was fine with an old XP machine.
Hmmm i've had the same problems on 2 Kingston microSD 2GB cards, the whole procedure was fine but when it comes to the testing, when i tried opening the drive, they said i needed to reformat the card. Hmmm are there any sequences of steps on how to do it or so?

wORKS FOR ME!!
Thank you so much!
Also make sure you are choosign the right option when opening disk...I think its logical (but not sure as im not on my pc) i tried on many cards using the removable disk option and it didnt work, then on a whim i tried the other option and it worked first time!

dude your the man ive tried 4 cards about a hundred times with no luck but never tried the other option (think it was physical disk) and it work first time
I did it with two different SD cards and it always worked on the first time. I did it with a card reader.
- SanDisk 2GB (HC)
- Sandisk 8GB (HC)
I've tried it with:
4gb Lexar
2gb PNY
2gb SanDisk
2gb Kingston
Using these steps:
wiki.cyanogenmod[dot]com/wiki/Howto:_Create_a_Goldcard (I'm not special enough to post links I guess...)
No luck at all with any of them.
Any pointers would be nice as I too would like to not have to purchase more and more SD cards to get it to work...
ok, I think I got the gold card right, but I wasn't able to use it to root the phone...
Either I didn't actually make a gold card, or the phone is just a real pain...
I recently flashed one of the MIUI roms onto my brother's MyTouch 4G and it is having problems. I'm not sure with one I flashed but everything works. Apps, Settings, Radio, etc. The only thing is that his SIM card used to have contacts and they all disappeared. And when he tries to save a contact it says the SIM card is full. I'm sure flashing doesn't touch the SIM so what gives?
I installed a micro sim card into nexus 4, it rebooted, after that it does not recognize any of the sim card inserted. Simply i can eject sim card tray, put different sim cards but nothing happens, phone even does not recognize if sim card is inserted or not, factory reset does not help. Sim is OK, i used it on this phone before and i use it now on a different phone. How can i solve this problem ?

Is it cut down?
You cannot put sim tray other way in nexus 4 , it does not slide in . No, sim is not cut, ive got it from carrier and used it before on this phone for about 3 weeks without problems. This is not a sim issue, i have another micro sim from other carrier that i've tried, but it's the same problem.. and both micro sims work on my xperia z, and nokia but nor of them from today are not recognizable in my nexus,,, iv'e looked at the pins in the sim tray, all of them ar not broken, done several factory resets, tried different roms, but nothing helps..

I just bought my N4 yesterday. I had the same issue. It would not recognize any SIM cards. I ended up having to swap it for another one. My SIM is from a different carrier, and has been cut down to micro size. No issues after swaping phones.
Hello,
My GS4 (1337) isn't detecting my microSD card. My computer reads it and I've reformatted using SDFormatter, as recommended by many users in this forum (FAT32).
It's not detected in CWM 6.0.4.8 and PhilZ Touch 6.43.8, either... I've tried multiple ROMs and nothing seems to work. I've tried two different SD cards, as well. Each ROM just says to "insert SD card"
Are there any settings in ServiceMenu options that might be affecting it?
I've gotten 2 replacement SD Card/SIM card readers off of eBay and neither of those replacements have done the trick. Thinking there's something software related.
Thanks in advance for help.

Unfortunately, that didn't work either. I wish I had another android device, to pop it in there, format it, and see if that works... it did for this user:

Hi,
When I had an issue with a sdcard I plugged it into a camera and formatted from there. Maybe you have a friend who can lend a cellphone to you for this? Sorry, for now I'm out of ideas, only these two. If I come up with other idea I may post here again.
~Lord
if you insert it while the phone is ON, does it not even recognize that a card has been inserted? I thought that normally it will at least tell you that the inserted card is not readable and ask you if you want to format it?
is the card fully working on your pc? like, can you fill it with files to it's complete capacity without corruption and they are all read by the pc? if not then maybe a duff card? this is often the case if you buy cheap card online.
have you got a smaller capacity sd card that you can try in the phone just to rule out hardware issues on the phone itself?
Please cleans your micro sd hole with a spirit(which use in clean u r desplay)...nd format yor sd card in default extension. ..I think it worked...
