Multiple times.

I've NVFlash recovered to stock.

I've flashed multiple different roms.

I'm wiped everything over and over, hard rebooted many times over.

Completely formatted the phone and recovered, etc.

I've tried a million things.

When I put the card in, T-mobile comes up for a second then goes away and says invalid sim card. I went to a t-mobile dealer, they gave me another sim card and it's the same thing. I really just don't know what to do. I feel like I've tried everything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Do you have another T-Mobile phone, or any unlocked GSM phone, you can use to test the sim card? At least that way you can determine if the problem is with your phone or the actual sim card.

Sounds like an issue with your phone, but its always good to be sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deadly1:
Sim works fine in my tablet. both data and voice/etc. it's definitely the phone. I am lost.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
if thats the case, then whats your warranty status?

they can replace the phone for you if the SIM card slot is defective
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cwa542:
Unroot make , update to 2.3 if u haven't already and re root
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Sounds like your baseband code got corrupted or your baseband chip went bad. Restore it and do a warranty swap if you can. No way to reflash baseband at this time on the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
he might still be able to re flash the baseband via this method, especially if he still has the old one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1180331
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Yes, if that works it will flash the new baseband and return his phone to GB stock. Worth a try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deadly1:
hey guys... no warranty. It's fix it or I'm screwed, unfortunately.

It sounds like you guys identified the problem with the baseband corruption..

I'm going to try and do all methods suggested in the thread including unrooting and updating to gingerbread, rerooting... and also flashing the baseband...

I'll be back with some results!

Thanks for all of the suggestions, I'm obviously hoping I can resolve this!

Thanks again
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
I got "invalid sim" only when trying to start wifi calling and booting to CWM and wiping the cache and rebooting solved the problem.

If nothing works for you get a new sim card from t-mobile.

T-Mobile also had some funny setting in my account and after several hours with tech support and providing a sim card (phone number) of friend of mine they fixed it. As in ..my phone worked fine with my friends sim card but not with mine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] firemedic0911:
[HELP] I am having the same issue. I have a T-Mobile G2x/P999. I have had at least 10 roms without issues on the device. I flashed to CM7.0.1.0 stable and bam I have an Invalid sim card, I have tried to unroot, stock flash, NVFlash to stock, trying a different rom altogether with no avail. I have tried NV BAT Flash with NVFLash and nothing. I have found many post about CM7 after of course I flashed mine. My previous sim was new in April of this year, but I went to T-Mo and get a new one today with nothing. I to have wiped, licked, and spanked my phone with no results... CAN ANYONE HELP?? Can't even send it back in because I cant unroot it... HELP!!!!! :confused::confused::(:(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yikes! Thats taking phone sex to a whole new level ... Did you try removing the battery and sim card, waiting a few seconds and then reinserting and rebooting?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] firemedic0911:
Yes I have done everything possible... Before the CM7.0.1.0 rom was installed, my baseband was from March 2001, now it reads July 2011. I have tried to switch back to the prevoius Baseband, but it wont let me either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
that shouldn't happen... flashing a ROM should not flash the new base-band.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] firemedic0911:
I'm telling you when I flashed to CM7.0.1.0 it changed the baseband... now it say INVALID SIM... Now I found on Cynaomod site there is also a CM7.0.1, so I tried that one... Now it only says no service available. not sure what the diff between the two are but thats the story. When I go in to the APN there is nothing there, nor will it let me save anything there as well. Also when I search for Netowrks, again can not connect at this time... I just want my G2x back... Hell I'd take unroot and stock just so it would work..:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I'm telling you there is NO WAY to flash baseband from CWM flasher. The ONLY way is to do the official LG Gingerbread Update which has to be done via USB cable ONLY. And it's a one-way flash, upgrade to July baseband. You cannot have done it and not known what you were doing, and installing CM7 would NOT update your baseband.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] firemedic0911:
I have not done any updating of the stock or any LG software. All I can tell you is I have had alot of roms on the phone and none have messed up the phone. The second I installed the CM7.1.0.1 stable, my phone took a dump. I have noticed alot of people with the same issue. So what would cause an Invalid Sim or the inability to change the setting so the phone would work. Wifi works, games work... but nothing else does...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Well the thing is... we cannot help you if you are forgetting or ignoring something you did. The fact, as stated before, is, there categorically IS NOT any baseband in the CM7 installer. That's a fact. You can argue it all you want, but it's a fact. The files simply are not even in the CM7 installer. No radio image, none of that, is flashed to this phone in CWM installers. Even if it were possible, the files and code simply is not there. Not on purpose, not on accident.

Now, we don't doubt something's wrong with your phone. Either your phone took a dump just coincidentally at the same time you installed CM7, or you did something you're either forgetting or don't think is related.

But don't come here and ask for help, and then tell us we don't know what we're talking about.

As for what WOULD cause the problem? If you've tried multiple Roms and the problem persists, and changing the Sim card doesn't solve it, then your phone's sim card slot has probably gone bad.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] firemedic0911:
No I had nothing, phone worked fine... The only thing I did was install the software on the sd card like normal, went into CMW and did a complete wipe like I always do including Dalvik... Installed the CM7 and nothing... I have tried the Sim Card in other devices, my HD2 and it works fine... But why when I switched from CM7.1.0.1 to CM7.0.1 it went from Invalid Sim Card to no Network Service Available then... I am at a lost... I cant even flash back to stock. I would just assume get an HTC phone... This LG crap sucks.. I dont experiment as far as building or going into weird settings... I just enjoy the roms and there features... So I have not done anything out of the ordinary except flash a rom...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
You must have flashed the o2x version. The ril might be wrong. Or your baseband is dead. Or it's a hardware problem. If possible, kdz to stock 2.3.3.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
It doesn't sound like an O2X flash issue as the baseband identifiers on the O2X are much smaller number sequences. If it says the July 15th baseband then the phone was either updated by an OTA from T-Mobile or the LG Updater. Could be a RIL issue as mentioned above. Use GETRIL from the market and let it update RIL to the one that matches your baseband. If that doesn't work I agree with doing an emergency or diag flash using the KDZ method. Only way to completely reflash a phone at this time.

Edit: Also if you unpack the CM update you flashed there is NO baseband in the update. It is impossible to flash the baseband in this manner so you definitely either did the OTA update or used the LG Updater if you have the July 15th baseband. Or you bought the phone second hand and the prior owner did the update. CM did not update your baeband, period.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jufjufjuf:
Just wondering guys, if there is no baseband installation through CWM, (I believe you), then why when I had an Unknown baseband did updating to the latest CM7 fix my baseband?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kharnage:
I do believe your issue is similar to this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1227776

If so I was also in your situation. All of a sudden I lost service and it didn't come back. Trust me, I tried everything and it wouldn't regain service. I left it off overnight, left battery out, sim card out, flashed multiple roms, restarted multiple times, hard reset etc. The only thing that helped me was me going to a T-mobile rep, then they called T-mobile technical support and they did all the trouble shooting (which I already did) and in the end they agreed to exchange my G2x for another one but I had to unroot my phone first. Now I have a new G2x being shipped to my house. This would be your best bet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
It's a RIL (Radio Interface Layer) issue, not a baseband issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] firemedic0911:
Thanks PEPs for all you input... I was finally able to use NVFlasg after I removed the SD Card out... Hmmm... Dont know whats up there... Now I just need to reinstall the stock rom and unroot it, and replace it... Appreciate it though...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] @moe:
easy fix

i had the same problem .. so i wiped everything used NVflash to flash it back to stock mode... before you do that make sure your sdcard is freshly formatted and ur sim card for tmobile is in there .. fixed my problem
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oriax123:
Fixed my problem

I had the "Invalid Sim" when i would use a T-mobile sim card and the "No Sim" when i used my Simple Mobile sim. I thought it was hardware or software so i went crazy doing everything possible i could find online, BUT what fixed my problem was inserting a Different T-mobile sim (ACTIVE) and the signal started to pick up. So then i tried a H2O sim and it said "locked", i know its locked but was just checking if it was the sim or they tray. I inserted my Simple mobile card and it said " No Sim", So i replaced my sim with a new Simple Mobile and updated on my account online, TADA!!!! Got my 4G working again so im happy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mgumm:
I had same problem. Invalid sim after attempted LG updater appeared to complete correctly. I went from March baseband to the July 15th, and no signal. Tried new sim card, NVFLASH, even successfully reflashed via KDZ -(following this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1180331 using both diag & EMERG from XP machine, but still invalid sim. GEtRIL app says I have matching RIL & Baseband v21

I am guessing that nothing gets rid of the invalid sim once you are on the July 15th baseband. Possibly someone who has invalid sim on the March baseband can update and fix successfully. I am giving up after way too many days spent on this and gonna cut my losses. May try contacting LG to see if they will do something, but I doubt it since its not under warranty.

If anyone who is on July 15th baseband has successfully conquered the invalid sim issue, please tell us exact steps taken.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mgumm:
Another weird thing - my phone is unlocked, and I popped in AT&T sim and it registers and works, along with an international (all countries) 1Sim card - and it finds and registers and works on T-mobile network.

Only T-mobile sims give the invalid sim card error. I've tried several T-mobile sims that work in my other phones including my wifes G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
There are many brands and types of sim card used by the carriers around the world. The baseband chip used in the G2X is especially picky about sim used. You might have an older T-Mobile sim. Try to go into a store and get them to swap the sim but check it first and see if it looks physically different (each type of sim has a slighly different contact pattern etc.). If you can find a different one ask them to do a sim swap on your account (takes a few second) and see if that makes a difference.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k2nxl:
If you bought your phone off craigslist or eBay then check to see if the IMEI is blocked or not.

I called t-mobile customer service after trying everything from factory reset, trying other t-mobile simcards, and reflashing but nothing worked. I bought it unlocked and it worked with AT&T but not T-mobile. The phone worked perfectly for 2 months until the invalid sim card message popped up.

After about 25 minutes with customer service, they came to the conclusion that my phone's IMEI# was blocked by t-mobile due to fraud which is why my phone was getting the invalid sim card message. That is when I realized that I had bought a stolen phone. They couldn't unblock the IMEI# for legal reasons. I ended up giving my phone to my girlfriend since she was on AT&T.

No Sim Card Issue

I went back to stock completely, and I have a "No SIM CARD" MESSAGE. I can get it going for a bit, then when I reboot, it will just go back to No Sim Card. any reasons why, it'll go on for a bit then off?

Well I just unrooted my phone first and then I upgraded my phone to GB 2.2.3. seems good so far. Let's see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] efrembarrow:
No Sim Card Issue

still no sim card issue, does anyone have a solid answer?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Aldreth:
I also have been dealing with this problem. I have the Jul 1t5 Baseband so there may be some truth to the previous comments about being able to flash properly with an active T-Mobile SIM of the proper type and moving to a new baseband under conditions to fix the issue.

I have been incredibly diligent in seeking a solution for this and there just -isn't- one out there that is definitive or conclusive. Any similar situation with successful results of some kind mixes multiple issues, and in my experience hasn't helped me. Neing unable to isolate further, I'm just goddamn stumped on a fix.
[Motorola Droid X2] lacross:
Bare with me here. It seems as though my computer(s) cannot open my sdcard when mounted. debugging is enabled and it is on mass storage. Also, i can access the internal phone storage.

Basically when you double-click the SD, nothing happens.

Ideas?
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
is it mounted?
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
This happened to me on windows 7x64 home premium, only on the owner account. When I logged in as another user I could access the sd. No clue why

Edit: mine was slightly different, told me to insert a disk when I clicked it
[Motorola Droid X2] lacross:
it is mounted. Also, on my windows PC it does say that. However i use Ubuntu on my laptop and it just will not open.

I should also say that it was working before i flashed Eclipse 0.6.

And also i cannot access my music on the phone

It does however tell me how much space is left on the sdcard and the total space

Also the Internal storage total and available space is unavailable

When i unmount the sd card and plug it in my computer, i cant view the internal phone storage either...Then if i mount the sdcard, the internal storage becomes available to be opened.

So, i took my sdcard out and rebooted my phone. it displays how much storage is available in the "sd card" ...theres no sd card in my phone. My phone is officially on crack

-Also when the phone boots it does not prepare the internal storage

-When i go to File Manager, under the sdcard thing it sais "This folder is empty"

ill keep updating as i try more things
[Motorola Droid X2] lacross:
a different micro-sd card does work in the phone.

How do i know if my micro-sd is broken?

Actually my phone is confusing the sd card and internal storage.

I put in a 2gb card and it sais "internal storage total space 1.80gb" and then sd card has like 4.80gb or something. Why? :'(
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
Because you have the sd card flip installed
[Motorola Droid X2] lacross:
Care to explain what that is?
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
It's something that Eclipse 0.6 comes with. This will explain what it is.

Droid X2 SD Storage Flip-Flop

I know that Triumph is not the most popular model but was wondering if there are generic docks that would work with this phone. I am looking at the minimum the ability to recharge the phone while docked. If there is speaker that would be a bonus.

I'd love to find a dock.

after using the phone for like couple of days and before even rooting i am having there strange kinda shades on the screen... afterwards i rooted it to check if its the rom issue.. but even afterwards it stayed the way as before....

please let me know if its hardware issue and i should get it replaced (i am certain of it.. still hoping for a solution from the geniuses here.. )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
That does not seem to be normal, but it looks like u took pics of the screen, a screesnhot from the phone itself would surely eliminate weather its a software issue or a screen issue, my guess is, if it's a hardware issue, the screenshot should not have that issue

Okay so I've been looking ALL over this site and have found noting and I am brand new so I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section but I can't figure this out. I just upgraded to Windows 8 and I installed chrome to phone and when I try to send a page it tells me to sign in (when I am already signed in) and I click to sign in and it takes me to a blank white page that says redirecting and just stays there. It's driving me crazy because I can't get it to work. Now I don't know if it is something with Google or with the fact I'm running windows 8 but I guess I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else or if someone can help me figure this out I'd REALLY appreciate it.
