Holy horse balls. How about a little info?

Are you rooted? If so, what ROM are you running?

Sorry started on aokp tootie frootie and was fine until I flashed the WiFi talk fix. So my buddy did a factory reset and then put Revolution HD 7.04. Not sure if he wiped like he should have. He's been converted recently from Apple. Still has s-off and rooted. I'm going to try the aokp rom again and see what happens. We tried another sim card and it didn't see it. Im doing this for a friend at work and I hope I didn't f$%k it up on him. I have a thunderbolt and this phone is all new to me. Especially the way that rom flashed itself asking questions and such. Really jealous of this phone as well for having fully functional ICS. ;) lucky bastards. Great devs on this phone.

Update: I totally wiped everything and reflashed Revolution HD. Tried fixing permissions, nothing. Still not seeing the sim. HELP

Try placing a small piece of paper on top of the sim card then insert it into the sim slot to add pressure to it.

Are you able to try a different sim card? The card could be corrupted or damaged.

I did try another sim last night and still no go. PaperIt didn't work either. It all started about an hour after I flashed that wifi calling fix for aosp/aokp roms. Any ideas on on gfree sim unlock?

Gfree can carrier unlock your phone. Did you root with gfree? If so, you very likely have unlocked it already.

You could try flashing PD15IMG.zip.

Worse comes to worst you can replace the sim/sd card reader for cheap from Ebay. (probably won't work if it is indeed a software problem)

No I didn't use gfree to root. Now I'm trying to get back s-on this thing and its not working. Anyone know where I can get the OTA gingerbread update zip from. All I can find is a froyo zip. I tried the unroot/s-off methods in the Glacier bible. But no good. All I get is unroot but still s-off. Maybe he can get some help from t-mobile.

I'm having the EXACT same issue,and my phone is SIM unlocked and it won't recognize any of the 3 active Sims cards I tried, 1. is mine, T mobile. 2nd is My Mother's At&t, and third my buddies boost mobile sims card from his android phone from there. None either say it's the wrong Sims card or anything just that I don't have a sims card. Oh yea and where your able to input an APN is all greyed out so I can't even try to type in an APN manually. I know the card is good. I use it on my Samsung Galaxy 2. The Mytouch 4G is my old phone. I kept it for a just in case phone. Phone is rooted and it was running CM 6.5, then I put a stock rom on it now to see if the rom was the problem.. must not be. I'm fresh out of Idea's. Anyone here got any?
