After install CM9, Sim card doesn't work - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

At first after installation, when it restarted for the first time, it asked me the pin code of my sim card, which is totally fine. But it went to a loop asking me the pin code when I enter the correct pin code. (Don't doubt the code, I tried to enter the wrong code and it didn't allow me). It just wanted to start the phone with the right code but then the pin code request popped up again.
And then after a few tries. I restarted the phone. Now the phone never detect my sim card anymore. It's like I haven't insterted a sim card. Only wifi works fine...
Information of "about phone":
Model no. MB525
Android Version 4.0.4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8 [email protected] #1 Fri Jun 3 11:30:33 CST 2011
CyanogenMod version: 9-20120508-NIGHTLY-jordan
What I did: It was CM7 build (version no. I can't remember)
1. Wipe data. 2. install CM9 for defy Froyo. 3. Flash CM7 Froyo kernel. 4. Clear Cache.
5. Restart (Pin code request loop) 6. Restart, no sim card detected, till now.
Thank you very much...

Just check your phone with another SIM card to be sure if it is a phone or a card itself.
And regarding your contacts: if you have them on SIM only then maybe SIM card reader would help. It is really good idea to keep them doubled in comp or google account for example. In such cases they are available even through wifi only on a device.

Hi corrinti, thanks for your reply.
My sim card works on other phone. And other sim card doesn't work on my phone now.
I don't know where my contacts stored...I only sync part of my contacts to google account. Now I can't see no contact in my phone at the moment.
I'm going to flash to CM7 again. I don't know if I can degrade or no?

I don't know what to do now? Any suggestions? My phone is not completely dead.
I'm going to flash back to CM7 is it OK? But I have flashed a CM7 froyo kernel before installing CM9. (My phone was froyo in stock but I didn't know why I should flash another froyo kernel in the first place but anyway I did it according to the instructions: CM7 (froyo) Kernel http://m.cfa.aero/misc/CM7_Kernel-signed.zip
Now am I able to use the old CM7 build: update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed.zip
Or any other suggestion that I should do?

Hi, I don't know what that fix does. But mine is a green lens defy. I can use that?

one question: have you wiped cach and dalvik cache (which is in advanced?)
If not do it.
Red lens battery fix is not suitable, I suppose, it is for CM9 for defy+ builds.
Contacts: part you stored in SIM is available, the part synced to google account is available through gmail website, the part that was in the phone only was most probably wiped by you.
I would propose to flash again all zips (kernel CM7, ICS for froyo, ICS gapps) with all proper wipes as in CM9 thread

I have flashed my phone several times, still can't detect sim card. I now want to go back to CM7 now. I tried to flash CM7 but it couldn't boot up.

So flash CM7 with gapps zip, properly wipe all, but take care if your battery is loaded enough. Or any other CM9 - you have quite big choice. Maybe zip was corrupted. Would try quarx or epsylon (I flashed them many times)
You can also try proper sbf to check if SIM card starts

Thanks corrinti. I have spent this whole afternoon fixing my phone. I flashed stock SBF. Everything works again with this flash... And now I'm flashing to CM7. I will not try CM9 in a little while.

[Q] [SOLVED] No service or battery status after installing latest Cyanogenmod 7

Tried searching the forum but couldn't find anything similar.
I rooted my ideos x5 with super one click, installed clockwork mod (perfect recovery by genekolar) and then installed genekolar's newest cyanogenmod [unofficial]. Tried installing 2 times with different downloads, wiping everything both times but I get no service or battery status. I checked my sim card, battery, booted the phone multiple times and checked my APN settings, the phone just doesn't find anything.
I would like to have gingerbread on my phone without installing the official one.
I also tried the MIUI rom but it stuck to the booting screen blasting that welcome jingle full volume every 3 seconds.
Any solutions?
Thanks!
This has been written for 1000000 times. You must update to official 2.3.5 if you want to use .35 kernel ROMs. If locked bootloader is what scares you then you dont need to worry because blefish already found a way to unlock it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490). If you still dont want to update to offcial 2.3.5 then you can use .32 kernel ROMs
Oh, my search-fu wasn't good enough this time. Being noob 'n all. Thank you for informing me! I'll change this to solved and leave it here if anyone else is having the same problem
Thank you!!

[Q] Everything gone wrong.

It's currently 7am on monday morning, and I have college. I haven't slept at all because my [red lens] defy has been giving me problems.
I've been trying to re-flash CM7 to get a clean install of it, with no frills/apps that I've installed over time.
I've done a factory reset through CWM, and re-flashed CM7.1 from here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=umts_jordan
I've tried finding GApps for this, but to no avail. None of them install properly (CWM says they have, but actually hasn't - It's nowhere on my app drawer/home/manage apps).
I've tried adding an account to sync but when it asks what google products I want to install (such as YouTube, Maps, StreetView), it crashes mentioning "process com.teamdouche.pacman"
That's problem 1
Problem 2 is my Home and Search button no longer work! I've tried everything I could google for, but nothing has helped.
[Edit: they do vibrate, but nothing happens]
Any help on these matters would be much appreciated, as this is really annoying :/ Thanks.
Also I've just realised the apps in Manage Applications are all my old apps, even though I've actually formatted my SD card in CWM since, each has a SD card icon, and is taking up 0.00B space,but I'm just wondering how they even show there..
Did you try flashing the CM7 kernel ?
Or did you mount /system ?
Herpderp Defy.
Here's my About Phone info:

Do you have a link to the CM7 Kernel? :S
System is mounted
I've managed to get Market installed, but it only opens once, and when I try to download something it Force Closes, and then after that it force closes when I open it.
Flash stock rom for noow ....

dude, restore stock room, and try flashing an official cm7, what i think is that the room that you flashed is corrupted or something like that
1º: Reflash a stock room
2º: Get a official stable CM7 room ( http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=umts_jordan )
3º: Don't forget to wipe all data, cache and dalvik cache.
4º: See if that works and thank me for this
EDIT:
Here is a link to Gapps, just in case (http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip )
good luck with your defy

[Q] Quarx CM9 not not saving settings?

Hi, I have a red lense Defy and have just flashed latest Quarx nightly per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100 but everytime I reboot the phone it takes about 90s to start, and all my settings (wifi, baseband, email etc) have been forgotten - the phone start as if it's a brand new install. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? I have tried reinstalling a few times with no luck. otherwise the rom works perfectly.

I'm having the same problem. Anybody has any clue to fix this?
You may have to flash your stock SBF using RSDLite as upgrading to Cyanogenmod ROMS only writes the system partition. Maybe the other partitions have got corrupted.
I'm not sure though.

[Q] Defy keeps rebooting

The touchscreen of my Defy doesn't work very well for about a month now.
It often happens that it does type something by itself even if i don't touch it. Go Launcher does crash often as well.
So today i decided to wipe the Defy and try CM9. My actual ROM was CM7 1.5.
What i did was starting in recovery mode, doing factory reset, clearing cache and then flashing Froyo 2.2.2. I already tried to flash 3 different SBF's.
The flashing works pretty well but when the Defy has bootet to homescreen it takes about 2 minutes and it does reboot. This happens with all the 3 different SBF's. I don't know what i can do now. My Defy keeps rebooting for over 2 hours now.
EDIT: It looks like that the problem has something to do with SIM? If i have no SIM plugged in everything works. So i managed to get CM9 working. When i use a SIM there, everything is fine. The problem just exists with a stock ROM.
I actually prefer cm9 to stock from. But there must be an answer to your problem. I'd try swapping sims when you have another available.

Today I tried another SIM and I got the same problem. But as i said only with stock ROM. CM9 runs perfectly.
That's pretty confusing....

Problems CM based roms

Hi I got problems with my lux on every cm based rom. On every cm rom I get no reception of my carrier. I don't know if it's a device tree issue or just apn trouble. Since there are no aosp roms, I'm a little hung up. Stock rom works fine. I own the xt1562 operating on German carrier o2. Sometimes I get a few seconds of reception on cm roms, but it's leading just to no signal after a few seconds again. I nearly tired everything, flashed a different firmware etc. When I've flashed a rom I get the information that no sim card was found. After I restart the device he's asking for a pin. Also tried another sim card with the same result. Really could need some help.
flash the original fimrware from ur carrier or region
flash twrp
install cm and see if works
if not,flash only the radio modem from original firmware
Already did. Didn't work. Flashed the new cm12.1 from h2o64. This one is working.
I have the exact same problem with my XT1562 I bought from Germany through Moto Maker.
I installed h2o64's CM build from 10-10 after a full wipe (everything except internal data), and never got any proper signal. I tried squid2's CM build 10-12 as well, to no avail. Installing the XT1562 EU stock firmware following the linked explanation in the stock firmwares thread I had good, working signal, but then installing h2o64's CM build 10-14 with a factory reset rather than a full wipe resulted in the same issues described in this thread again.
I've read about these issues in different threads, mostly resolved somehow by installing the stock firmware, sometimes by selecting LTE as the preferred network type. I've tried these suggestions, but haven't had any success, and I don't know how to proceed.
Did I install the right stock firmware? (I would think so as it worked while it was installed.)
Did I forget to do something (like wipe, fix permissions, reboot the phone three times, howl at the moon,...)?
I use OpenGApps rather than tkruzze's since they're available in x64 as well so I can use them on all my devices. But that surely can't be it?
I'm at a complete loss at the moment, which is rather frustrating. Can anyone provide any help?
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 9 mit Hilfe von XDA Forums Pro.
I managed to install h2o64's CM build 10-14 and getting proper signal now.
I flashed the RETASIA firmware from XMoDuLeSx's Official stock firmwares added for xt1562,xt1563 thread following the instructions linked in the first post, and then after a wipe of system, data, cache, dalvik-cache I installed [ROM][lux][5.1.1] Cyanogenmod 12.1 - 2015-10-14 [UNIFIED].
Keep in mind that I have ordered my Moto X Play from Germany, so it shouldn't require a RETASIA firmware. I'm not advising to install this, as it was nothing but a shot in the dark that surprisingly didn't brick my phone. Still, I wanted to share that I got it working after all, simply to follow up my previous post properly. Should the signal break again, I'll update this thread; if I haven't, assume that it's still working.
Either way, though: If you decide to go down this road and install a firmware that isn't right for your phone and brick it, don't come to me. I'm advising against doing this.
Seems i'm having the same issue...
I did all the wipes and clean installs but I can't connect to my carrier.
Although my phone only supports one sim card, settings shows two. The first one is the one i'm using and it is displayed correctly. The quick settings tile though tells me that there is no sim card inserted.
I came from stock, unlocked, flashed TWRP from squid2's kernel page, rooted, flashed CM(squid2), kernel(squid2) and OpenGApps.
Did I do something wrong?
Is there any news on how to fix this problem or do I have to try again and again an hope to hit the spot?

You need two more posts before you can post this in the CM thread from squid2. Squid2 is always fast with bugfixes. So make 2 other post and then explain your problem to him.
