Hi,
i've new problem with my S300+!
Yesterday my phone worked well, today I see the following message:
"The SIM card is missing. You can still make emergency calls if your service provider supports it".
I tried to switch the sim card to another phone and the sim works correctly, then i tried to put another TIM sim card on the s300+ and the message is showing too.
What's happened?
Originally the s300+ was SIM locked for SFR sim. But when i bought it, it was unlocked to sim free.
Two weeks ago i've upgraded the radio rom to latest version.
Reading the other device's forum, i've saw that problem may be an hardware problem. How can check if the problem is caused by hardware ?
Can I try to re-unlock the phone? or it is effectless?
Thanks in Advance!
can you try a SFR sim in the phone?
see if it works on that sim.
do you know the person you got the phone from?
how was the phone unlocked?
you could try unlocking the phone again.
I can't try a sfr sim!
I'm in Italy and I've bought the phone in France.
I don't kown the person that have sell the phone, and i don't kown ho the phone was unlocked.
I know that the phone works well for 3 weeks and then not!
I 'm tring to reunlock the phone.
if you do a search on this forum you will find the files needed to sim unlock your phone.
when you have done, may be your phone will be ok again.
On the down side to that may be the person that sold you the phone has reported it lost or stolen and its been blocked/locked if that is the case i dont know what you can do.
I have just unlock the phone, but nothing is changed!!!!
I've also checked my imei on this site:
http://www.amta.org.au/default.asp?Page=405
and it not seems reported as lost or stolen...
I bought a S300+ (SFR Locked) in January 2008 and I unlocked by myself using tools found on this board, it still work fine but with a Vodafone Italy SIM, but sometimes I use a TIM Sim too.
I don't think that your is a lock problem, from the message you get at the powerup sound like an hardware problem but you should try an hardware reset how last option if you didn't it before.
I've made an hard reset, but nothing happens!
Also I've tried to flash a new roms (an italian rom and the original rom), but was not the solution!
I'm not sure where is the problem, because the phone worked well for about 3 weeks, than suddenly shows the missing sim card message....
IS there a site to verify if the imei is blocked? i've try www.ama.org.au
Is There a program or a tool to verify the integrity of hardware, especially for ths sim hardware? or a datasheet of sfr 300+?
I've had the same problem on my trinity and it turned out that I needed a new sim card because the old one burned out after four years of use. This may or may not be your problem.
I solved my problem by inserting a little paper between the SIM and the support lol
Hey guys
So I just got my LG Quantum off ebay. I put my Rogers sim card in and I boot, it tells me it cant recognize that there is a sim card or it is invalid. Im not sure what to do. I am switching from a Samsung Focus so there shouldnt be a problem. Yes the phone is unlocked, well the seller said it was unlocked but I wont know until it recognizes a sim card. Any help or ideas out there?
Anyone? bump

Sorry, I only check in every couple of days.
Sounds like your phone needs to be SIM unlocked. (I.e. the previous owner simply sold you a phone which is 'locked' to another vendor's network like AT&T for instance).
What you need to do is go to eBay or google for "LG Quantum Unlock Code". You'll need the IMEI (inside the battery compartment) and it shouldn't cost more than about $20.
Well the thing is the seller sold it unlocked. But Im skeptical, so I bought a code and such from cell unlocker, but the issue is that it doesn't recognize that there is a sim card inside of it. I have tried 2 bell sim cards, and 2 rogers sim cards. This is the problem because with the quantum there is no way to unlock it that I know of that doesnt require a sim card. It hasnt recognized any of the sim cards, it boots up and sais that there is no sim in the phone.

That's weird, it should at least prompt for PIN, PUK or unlock code. I would try:
1. Reflashing and then try if it asks for unlock code
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935605
2. Rebel Sim II 30$ (SIM card chipping)
3. Octopus India, 83$ (Unlock/repair tool)
My Quantum in is "PUK-code-loop" and unlocking code, reflashing or correct PUK wont help.. Rebel SIM II is on way..
I finally managed to unlock using Rebel SIM II:

the phone is from ebay and there is sticker with the imei an s/n on the back. the sn matches the one in fastboot. i did a ground up install of the factory rom and let it update till it finished with 8.1. i did not have a sim card for it at the time and did not check for the imei in settings, my bad. i installed twrp which looped the factory rom, but i was looking to install 15.1 in any case. i wiped and formatted then installed 15.1. the install had a few hiccups which were cleared up on the next update the following morning. the phone was to be a back up so it sat idle for a few weeks. i was working on the other 6p so installed the sim card in the spare phone. the card was not detected and setting shows no imei. ideas?

So... When the Phone never was touched... Send it to OnePlus or try the Unbrick
To help you, we need more information
Hey, I have a question for people who have unlocked bootloader - do you happen that once in a while, the phone does not detect the SIM card after a restart?
Because I have such a problem since updating to Android 11, it does not happen on a locked bootloader, but on unlocked sometimes I have to restart the phone up to 4 times in a row until the phone detects the SIM card. I have had this problem for several months now, no system update has fixed it so far.
At first I thought that maybe it was a defect of my model or my SIM card tray, but 2 days ago my girlfriend bought a OnePlus 8T, I unlocked the bootloader on her phone and the same thing started to happen, her phone also has problems detecting the card SIM now, did any of you have a similar problem and maybe found a solution?
I have the same problem as you described on my 8 Pro.
I haven't had that problem with my 8 Pro although I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it first before I put my sim card in and made sure I already did these and updated before even using the sim

It happens to my 8pro too once in awhile. I just need to reboot several times.
I have exactly the same issue with mine. In case anyone wants to start comparing notes, I have an 8 Pro with a fairly old Verizon SIM (actually was a Micro SIM that was cut down). I've found that it happens almost every time you reboot, but almost never if you do a full power off and then power back on. I don't remember having the problem with the original OOS11 but after 11.0.2.2 it started showing up.
