Got a question that maybe you guys can help me with.
I had a weird thing happen today, got stuck in a bootloop and when I finally fixed that I can not get a signal. It does not detect my SIM card. But I also had a few other problems so I want to get a replacement. My question is how do I get back to stock when I have a custom recovery installed. Becuase with the custom recovery I can not get into download mode. Anyone have any suggestions? I have a Verizon G2.
Thanks is advance
If anyone is interested I received my replacement today and the sim card is not bad.
Very weird. I have no idea what happened to the old phone.

Hi, I have a rooted G1 running a CyanogenMod rom and some theme or other (I think it is AeoroBlack or something like that?) Anyway, I've been having some issues with my phone being able to connect to T-Mobile's network, both the data (both Edge and 3G) and the phone signal. I've done some troubleshooting on my own and with tmob tech support over the phone, and it's at the point that my next step is to do a "sim swap." there is a very good chance, though, that I'm going to have to take it into a T-Mobile store sometime soon, either to get a replacement G1 or a new sim card. My question is, if I shop up with a rooted, modded, and themed G1, are they just going to tell me I'm S.O.L., and I voided the warranty? Even though it is still under HTC's warranty, and I have T-Mobiles equipment protection plan? My question is, if I do bring it in, should I switch it over to T-Mobile's official build before doing so? If so, is there an easy way to get everything back to the way I have it after I'm done with them, or if I get a new phone? Thanks for your help!!!
I would just leave your phone in the car and take in the sd. If the new SD doesnt fix it then I would think about unrooting it.
Have you tried doing a wipe and reinstalling your ROM yet?
When you say sd, you mean sim, right? Also, I haven't tried wiping yet, I was about to upgrade to the newest cm rom anyway, which requires wiping. If I do that, will a nandroid backup save all my stuff, or will that take me back to the old rom? I am still unclear on how nandroid works. If I install nandroid, I have to install adb, a new radio, and fastboot too, right? Thanks again for all the help!
I work for tmobile
I work in a t-mobile store and if u come in with a rooted phone I would high-five you! but u should be fine if it is just a SIM swap. if anyone asks about the theme just say it is Fresh Face or what ever it is call(it is an app in the T-mobile app pack). Now as for getting a new phone you will prob have to send it in, but for a SIM swap they shouldn't give u any trouble after the initial troubleshooting questions. Point is most t-mobile employees wouldn't know a rooted phone if it hit them in the face.
I did a SIM swap without having to remove root, but the reps did tell me they could exchange my phone unless it was running stock ROM. I had to remove root before I could get my phone warrantied.
So like the impatient noob I am I rushed out and tried upgrading to CM 6.0. Obviously I messed somthing up and I then was only able to fastboot into my phone. I messed around with that for awhile reading tutorials and got to where my phone would boot back up properly. But now my My Touch 3g wont find my sim card, and I also messed something up where I cannot go into recovery mode either. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi, sorry for just jumping in here. But, my galaxy s4 i9505, android 4.2.2, baseband version i9505XXUBMGA, has all of a sudden decided to not recognise the sim card its had in it for the past 2 months. Ive rooted this device but not played with it any further as im not sure what im doing. Ive tried the sim card in another phone and it works fine, other sim card from other devices also do not work in this phone. It first started showing no sim a couple of days ago but i restarted it and it came back on and it recognised it straight away but over night it totally stopped working. Ive googled and searched these forums and found no answer. Ive installed stock firmware and put it back to the state it was in when i received it with no luck. Im worried this may be a hardware failure and not a software one. Really hoping somebody is so kind to throw sme light on my problem. Thanks in advance
I had this on my i9505.
It came up "sim removed, mobile data will not be available until sim is re inserted".
Every sim i tried didnt work.
Had to send to samsung and they found a faulty sim reader. So they replaced it.

Hi Guys,
I will try and keep this as short as possible. I am on contract and have had my numbers for years.
Anyone who can help me will be rewarded.
I had my S6 Edge stolen. Within 30 mins I went to Vodafone (UK) and got a new sim card - cancelling the one in the S6.
The next day I phoned Vodafone to get the IMEI blocked.
I have an S4 I9505 from before my upgrade (Stock 5.0.1, stock Kernel, UK) Now it gets weird...
My sim card will not work in the phone.
My sim card works in any other phone.
Any sim card works in my phone.
MY SIM WILL NOT WORK IN MY PHONE!
I am no tech newbie, I changed the sim tray a couple of times first thinking it was that. Vodafone gave me 3 different sim cards - nothing.
I was in the Vodafone store for 2 hours last night trying to fix it, there are no bars on my account and the phone isn't blocked or barred. The phone is in good condition.
Tried factory reset and format.
If anyone can help me resolve this issue I will be sincerely grateful. If I cannot fix this great phone - I will be forced to buy a new 4G handset.
I currently have my sim in an old iPhone and am using the S4 for everything else, so I am ready to try anything.
Thanks guys in advance.

I prefer you to flash aosp rom like cynogenmod or note 5 port ^_^ . It might help your sim card to get work again. Remember to do backup first and install custom recovery . Warning : Your phone need to be root first . If your phone already rooted then you just do a backup and flash aosp rom
Did you try a factory reset from recovery mode? Reflash a stock ROM? IMEI is properly displayed from the dialler menu (*#06#)?
This happened earlier today out of the blue. My phone is rooted with TWRP, but beyond that, I haven't done anything that I think could cause this. I don't have a custom ROM or Xposed or anything like that. It just randomly stopped seeing my SIM card. It also may be important to note that the phone was carrier-locked when I got it, and I unlocked it myself. Any solutions?
It's a VNS-L23 on build VNS-L23C45B130
Well, maybe you broke the sim slot.
