Hi,
I used to encrypt my sd card on my nexus 4 few months ago. Since my last CM 11 update, I'm expecting some problems with sounds uring phone calls, which it appears to be related to internet connection, 3g or wifi : in fact, when I power on internet, there is no sound during calls ans people don't hear me either. I have to reboot the phoen every time.
So, I wanted to a factory reset, in order to totally clean my phone and install another custom ROM. But I saw people having some troubles when attempting to do it (SD Card refuses to mount on recovery interface, some phones bricked during other attempts).
My question is: is it possible to reset this phone with encrypted SD Card ? I'm sure there is a solution using ADB interface and a computer but I need to find the real working method which I didn't find either.
Thanks for your replies !
So, nobody at all knows anything about that ???

i am getting this,after recieving a call. Yesterday i install a newest firmware via seus,but it seems the problem is same again.
After that i must restart my phone :S
Any similar with this problem???
Yeah. It's quite common on the custom roms. You aren't using one are you?
No. Now i have officialy 2.1.1.A.0.6.
Before that i use old custom firmware,but this is hapening again.
The reason why i reinstall everthing is 3 thing that gives me a trobule. Not recognizing my sim card at startup, this unexpected sd card error & restart during a call. Now again this with sd card...grrrr...any suggestions?
Contact Sony support. Hopefully they will help you out, as your warranty is void if you root your phone, unless they can't find any evidence that you have.
Just unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP and root etc. on MXP all working.
SD card is now not seen by phone and not when connected to pc by cable. Card works in pc and moto g 2014.
Sandisk Extreme 32GB
I've searched but cannot find anything.
Thanks in advance.
Just tried connecting it using an OTG + adapter and it is recognized but still not when in the SD holder in the phone????

Still no fix. Factory data reset. Reformatted SD card to exFAT. Still not seen.????
Can't see this as a hardware problem. Please, anyone...

Phone sent to repairer in Manchester (UK) who said they could fix it; had it for nearly a month. Finally said it was not repairable. Sent it back boot looping and flat battery. I managed with fastboot to restore stock ROM then rooted again. So now it is as before, working correctly but no SD card recognition. The pins in the reader look unbent.
Do I give up on this?? Is there a software fix or command I can try? Mainboard damage?
It all seemed to happen when I unlocked rooted etc.

It seems like it's hardware problem that's is why it ain't recognized.
But Better trying more you should flash new row after clearing all cache / Dalvik cache etc and check it whether it works or not??
It still you face same problem try to repair your phone again through service Centre again may be luck by chance problem sortout or if not.
Better to give it up on it.

I have the same problem after putting the sdcard tray back in the wrong direction. Sdcard doesn't work since then because some pins in the tray are damaged and won't make contact anymore. I lost warranty and can live without,but you can try to fix it under warranty. Maybe they won't even notice you unlocked the bootloader.

Is it possible that rooting the phone made the SD card reader problem or just a coincidence?

don't restore flash the whole stock firmware again. see if it works.
That is what I did. Flashed the latest stock firmware. I didn't mean restore.
Hello, i need some help...
I've already searched and tried a lot of ways to fix my problem but nothing worked.
Suddenly the Wi-Fi of my Op5 stopped working, i cant even turn on... And also the phone doesn't recognize sim cards. The phone isn't rooted.
I've already made factory reset, flashed another rom, cleared cache, etc...
Thanks in advance.
Check if Your both sim's IMEI and WLAN MAC address are displayed correctly.
Sounds like corrupted EFS partition to me. Try to restore backup (if You have one). I think You can't fix this issue without a backup. So only way is to send it to OP for repair (i guess on warranty it should be free).
Hello everyone. After a lengthy battle, yesterday I finally was able to unlock my bootloader, flash a global rom (via MiFlash) to my Redmi Note 7 and lock the bootloader again using fastboot.
However I've encountered an issue that is very annoying. Every time the phone boots, it fails to read my Sim card, so I'm forced to eject it and then reinsert it in order for it to work properly. I use an SD card and I tend to reboot my phone once or twice a week, so you can get an idea of how much of an inconvenience this is.
I'm pretty sure this must be a software Issue because before the ROM change, I've never had an Issue with this. My phone model is M1901F7H and the rom is Miui global (10.3 Stable 10.3.5.0).
I need to mention that my current carrier (I got the phone from them) disables the hybrid sd card/sim slot and sells the phone with only one working sim slot and a custom ROM. After installing the global rom I noticed that now I can enable/disable the dual 4G connectivity for both sims toggle (it was greyed out before) however that is the only option regarding the dual sim settings that I can interact with and the second slot is still only usable for an Sdcard.
Currently I don't care much about the dual Sim feature, but it has crossed my mind that maybe my current Issue is related to this?
Anyways, thank you for taking your time to read this post and I apologize for the wall of text.
I would be very grateful if someone could help out.
Edit: I forgot to mention that one of my banking apps is now unusable as it crashes over and over again since I've installed the Global Rom. Don't know if it's related to the issue, but it worked just fine beforehand.
Check out my thread.
I'm also on 10.3.5 and think the issue is software related.
After reading your post, I'm thinking we may have something similar going on. My phone is working fine with no problems reading the SIM card after a factory reset a few days ago.
Hopefully you don't end up having the exact same problem I did.
I also have the same problem, I have to take out the SIM every time I reboot, I have the derpfest ROM and so far I have not been able to solve the error.
Hi all,
I have a problem with my XC, i hope there's someone here who could help me out with this .
I get a SIM card error when i start the phone. After a while (5-10 mins) the error transforms into "No Service" as if the phone now detects the SIM card but has no service whatsoever.
Things i did to my phone prior to this:
- unlocked bootloader
- installed custom recovery
- root
- installed custom ROM
- drm fix
The phone did function properly for a few months actually after these operations without a SIM card error even once. But then i tried to install custom ROMs again (and i'm sure didn't flash ROMs not suited for XC) -actually tried to install "existenz" ROM but i did get a bootloop so i -once again- did the usual procedure with flashtool and flashed a firmware to set everything back to stock as close as possible. That was, when i started to get the SIM card errors. After several restarts (cold and warm) the phone sometimes recognized the SIM card and i could use the phone normally. But this was true only till the next restart, where i got the same SIM errors again.
Things i tried:
- flashed several different firmwares (official) with flashtool (wiping everything) - all the newest firmwares.
- *#*#72786#*#* in dialer to wipe carrier settings
- *#*#4636#*#* in dialer to go into phone settings and changing those settings randomly
- flashed another AOSP based custom ROM instead of stock sony
- wiping and formatting everything between the flashes of course
- cleaning and re-inserting SIM card (which i never took out before anyway)
But unfortunately nothing worked. Phone keeps to not recognizing the SIM card (which is working just fine in another phone). Everything else works just fine on the phone. The IMEI is displaying correct. I'm almost certain that the fault isn't hardware-based (i didn't drop the phone or exposed in water etc.) but software-based. Did i just managed to brick my phone by flashing something related to the modem which i'm not aware of?
I can't find any solutions on google, which help me, which is why i'm posting it here. Sorry for the long post.
Did anyone experience such an error and/or knows what else i could try to fix this? I hope for answers
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
I've got the same problem.
I didn't unlock the bootloader or anything prior to getting the bug.
I wanted to downgrade to nougat, because aparently it helped someone in the forum below, but I didn't manage to do it.

Did you try nougat, when flashing different firmwares?
Your post makes me question if its worth it, trying to downgrade.
Try to remove sd card if you have one. then restart the phone and see if sim card is recognized.
I had the same problem and I think it was a hardware failure in the end.
I also tried almost all the things you were writing above. In my phone it started slowly. Sometimes the SIM was detected but after some time the connection was lost.
It happened some time after I installed a new battery.
But since there are no original batteries available for the device anymore and the new battery was even worse than the 5 year old original battery, I gave up investigating the SIM issue and don't use the phone any longer.
I bought a new (used) x compact because I still like the size and I saw some development was going on for this device.
In the end I cannot tell whether the SIM was not detected because I broke something while changing the battery or due to age of the phone but I think it was a "normal" failure.
I also read from others that they had the problem and the SIM was working for some time after I switched the battery before it stopped working.
Nevertheless. Good Luck to you. Maybe it is something different on your phone.
