Hello
Sorry for my English but I'm French.
I live in New Caledonia, I bought a Nexus One still packed on ebay (no other way to get one in New Caledonia) and I have a problem.
My Nexus one says "No SIM card", I tried with 10 different SIM cards and I have the same problem (I put in the right direction, I checked several times).
Is it possible that my Nexus One is SIM Locked?
Who knows?
It is no longer guaranteed as I unlocked the bootloader, I saw the problem after.
Someone also tried to repair it and opened it, so if I should send it for repair I know that I should pay, but is it a hardware problem?
I hope it is simply SIM Locked, it would cost me less.
There is no such thing as SIM lock on Nexus. Please search next time.
Nope, it should not be SIM Locked. Actually, it WILL NOT be SIM Locked.
Sounds like the SIM card slot could be going out? Try wedging a few scraps of paper up underneath the SIM card as you insert it to hopefully get a bit more pressure against the contacts.
Good luck!
Did you contact the ebay seller? Sounds like you bought a defective unit.

There's your problem.
If you want broken junk, ebay's a sure thing!
Back then to HTC.
Thank you everyone
DEARS ,
First of all thanks a lot for all your threads , your really more than experts , you are a crazy people
I am from EGYPT , planning to buy Motorola Droid 3 , i have a friend in US will bring it to me while he visiting Egypt next week,
First I thought its an easy issue , search , pay and get it , But it wasnt simple like this , as you know i faced xt860 and xt862 isuue , i tried to understand alot of threads here explains the different between them but not clear answer (and lot of talk about rooting, ROM ,lot stuff i didn't understand )
After searching and reading a lot over the web i found discrepancies in all information about two versions so i got lost
So i have to decide which one i have to buy , XT860 with higher price or XT862 lower price
1-which one is better to buy? and why ? (both xt860 &xt862 on negrielectronics , i can not send the path here as i am new user )
2-Is negrieelectronics is trusted store ?
Please i need your help badly as i have only 2 days to decide.
(Sorry for my terrible English )
I have never heard of negri electronics, so I cannot vouch for their reliability.... But as far as the xt860 vs. Xt862, I would recommend the xt860 if your not in the U. S. You will have to get the Xt862 SIM unlocked, which is damn near impossible I hear. Save yourself the headache, and get the 860.

the unlock code is not a big deal , as there are so many xt862 unlocked already , what i mean which is a better phone ?
and negrielectronics.com i found lot of posts about it here in this forum
It seems to me that there are more ROMs for XT862 than XT860. I also remember reading somewhere in the forum that firmware updates for the latter are slower and behind the former.
Personally, I purchased a XT862 for use in the UK. After 2 weeks, I noticed that the data connection is a bit lacking compared to the Milestone I had before.

Any xt862 rom can be patched to work on the xt860 very easily

thanks guys i already bought xt860 just right now , i hope its the right decision
I ordered an XT860 from negri.
despite taking a week to arrive, it did and in mint condition, aside from having been open-boxed to test somewhere around december (they forgot to wipe it)
Personally, for the $400 or so that unlocked XT860's are worth, i regret not just getting an XT862 on ebay for 200 and US-unlocking it, as the bell XT860 does not have the contacts installed for the verizon wireless charging battery door to interface with. (oh well, small loss, but still)
Get the XT862. It's cheaper and has more support, and it works just as fine with GSM after build.prop edit
Yes negri electronics is a trusted store. I bought from them and I know a couple of others who did too.
Oh.. Too late
Tooooo late my friends , i got my XT820 yesterday but its not works with any SIM CARD !!!!!!!!!!! not asking for code or anything just works well but sim card not read !!! now i am asking them for return ! any one know anything about this issue
ivanol84, have you tried checking a different SIM card? Also, be sure there is no SIM LOCK on the card.

Try a brand new simcard.
Check the SIm-card-lock options in build.prop (force SIM-unlock)

What you mean ?
He said you can try to add the line " keyguard.no_require_sim = true" to your "build_prop" file located in the system folder on your phone, restart the phone and see if that works.
This can be done easily by using a root enabled file browser like "rootexplorer", which can be found on the market to edit the file.

Or terminal emulator snd type "setprop keyguard.no_require_sim true" without the quotes and try a quick relock of the phone but ... did you buy the phone unlocked? All xt860s from bell are shipped sim locked and need to be unlocked to use with another provider/sim.
Hi. i've recently purchased a xt860. it is unlocked. but i seem to be dropping my data connection more frequently. but with data roaming on it's fine.
whilst data roaming is off i get the triangle with data connection lost..blah blah blah.
is there anything i can do to get rid of that annoying message? because obviously it is a canadian phone it thinks it is in another country despite a uk sim being in it.
any roms solve this problem?? i have a moto razr xt910 and there is a gsm patch. is there one for this phone?
many thanks

Few questions. Have you tried the xt860 base I posted and does it have this issue? Are you using an xt862 rom and if so have you applied the data patch(idk if it's been test on .906 roms)? Have you tried using rsd to reset the phone to stock and see if the problem persisits? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377146 , I have another patch on my phone but no apps are letting me upload atm. You'll still have to setup apns or push an apns-conf.xml to the phone(setup your data connection again, you did this in the first place and selected it as the default apn, right?)

It was stock. But i installed your deodexed version. It is sooo much better. Debloated and the camera runs a whole lot quicker. Hopefully getting rid of all that bloat will save on the battery!!
Thanks again

Hi guys.
I went through a lot of web sites past couple of months and now I've decided to ask you by myself. I got a present from my GF. Sam Gal S5.
She bought it on a craiglist. She tried it with her AT&T SIM card and it worked. Anyway.. she gave it to me. SIM card denied. I've paid $30 to get a code to unlocked.. Great. Buy what was my surprise. After I got in and made a couple of phone calls to providers I find out that the phone is blacklisted. I tried to get ATT sim card also but doesnt work.
So I started to look for an advice... Ive done root, changed ROM etc. But now... i dont know where else to look.
Obviously it was stolen. But I feel sorry for her and she for me...
Is that just a piece of garbage or is there ANY way to fix it?
I dont even know if im able to ask here.
Any advice or opinions helps.
Thank you
Mike
I think you're kinda screwed...Craigslists scams happen all the time..best bet if your gonna buy a phone on there is to both meet at the AT&T store and go through the whole transfer process.

The official reply from carriers is that once a phone is blacklisted it is impossible to undo. Whether or not it's a limitation of the technology (one-way trip) or if it's just company policy, the output is the same. You and your girlfriend have learned an expensive lesson. You can use it as a wi-fi-only device or a media player, but once a phone is blacklisted it will never be able to connect to a cellular network again.
The reason the phone worked with your girlfriend's SIM card was because the real owner of the phone hadn't called to report the phone stolen yet.

Mike, your situation stinks so bad. I was in a similar spot with a T-Mobile HTC M8, which stopped working after I got it off craigslist and then subsequent IMEI checks shows that it is blocked/blacklisted from T-Mobile's network due to a balance owing from the original purchaser. However, since the phone was not reported stolen, the IMEI is not actually blacklisted/blocked from all carriers, but only T-Mobile. So I bought the SIM unlock code for a few bucks online so that I could unlock the phone for other carrier use. I have tested and verified that my phone works on AT&T, even though it is blocked on T-Mobile. So...you might consider changing your carrier or selling it to someone who can use it on another carrier (with full disclosure to that buyer, of course).
Hi guys, been trying to figure out what went wrong.. I'm on a unlocked T-Mobile note 5 using on ATT. Already on marshmallow, was trying out a couple of international roms which were working fine. Last thing I did right before I got the "Invalid SIM card/ Network locked SIM card inserted" notification was the security hack to bypass exchange thru Xtouchwiz xposed app. My sim is working fine on another phone so can't be sim. Anyone here have any suggestions? Thank you..

I've had this as a random problem. I changed my sim a couple of times for a new one and it seems to be ok for the last few weeks. I also added a bit of stick paper to the sim to hold it in place which seemed to work for a bit! I put it down to faulty sim cards and a highly sensitive phone.

Yeah I replaced the sim as well but no go. I called tmobile and they said that the phone was unlocked temporarily which sounds funny to me. Never heard of unlocking for just a period of time. So of course they said they would need to speak to the original owner of phone in order to unlock again. Obviously I'm the owner now the phone is not reported lost or stolen or blacklisted. I just think they don't want to help me because I don't have an account with them.

Most likely your phone is locked via the "Device Unlock App". If T-Mobile doesn't want to unlock your phone you can try this service:

Please mak sure to read the detailed instructions.
Hey guys, i have an issue with my mi5 (been running cyanogenmod/resurrection remix 6.0 versions) on it with dual sim Vodafone DE and T-mobile DE. after a few days my T-mobile Sim card died and i have to replace it.
I have been getting this issue with my old LG G2 running custom os (mostly blissrom either 5.1 or 6.0) as well, e.g. the T-Mobile Sim card getting killed after a day or two in the phone, which i than had to replace ( while in my htc one m9 running modified stock, this doesnt happen and the current card that died in the mi5 lasted over half a year in it without any issues).
Now i have found several posts on the internet describing exactly this, but for oneplus one/two, where its said that T-mobile DE had fixed this with the latest revision of the sim cards (C/W7), which i have as well and died.
a link to reddit about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/44qxyx/oneplus_devices_killing_sim_cards/
Apparently its an issue with MEC, where the card gets burned by the phone. Naturally at first i thought my aging g2 would be the culprit, but apparently its the SIM cards from T-mobile.
Now i was wondering, did anyone see this behavior as well (with t-mobile de simcards)?
Hello from Germany here.
Had exactly the same problem. What seems to help is a nfc sim card (v/t 7). You can call the support or go to a shop and get a new card.
Hmmm, interesting.....
My employer just changed from KPN (Dutch provider) to T-mobile.
Running it for 1 day now, and until now no problem.
But i could see that the sim looked different to the KPN sim and also different then my private Vodafone sim.
My employer will hope that this won't happen, because we have a lot of persons with dual-sim phones
Well, it occurs after about 6 weeks so the odds aren't that good.
curiously enough it occurred for me after 5 or 6 days. Before with the g2 mostly in like 1 day. I will go there today and ask them for the nfc sim. do i have to say something specific or just ask for it? Should i say i have a specific phone (op 2 perhaps) ?

so i was at the telekom shop today... one of the most frustrating conversations ever. They wouldnt give me a new sim card, cuz mine died and they couldnt send me a verification sms code to it... unbelievable, they called than the central so that they will send me one per mail... tried to explain them what th eproblem is, but it was like they never heard of the nfc-sim card or the different versions (e.g. c/w7 or v/t7), said it would be my luck if i would get a v/t7 version, cuz they cant know which one they send... i even showed them the thread on their forums... oh well lets get the new one burn it again and this time call myself telekom from home, try to get a more technically versed person at the other end...
The NFC Card is needed to pay with My wallet and things like that. Actually they should know about that. There is a thread where you can ask for a new one but now the problem is you already ordered one so they can't do anything before it arrives. If you want the link write a PM. I know it's really a pain in the *** and for me it was even worse because it was a company card.
