When I insert the sim in the phone it gets restarted. And then says that no sim inserted!!!

Asked in a shop to bring the 'Mini To Micro Sim cutter'. He will get it in few hours. Will try it and report back.

Actually I had cut the sim because it worked for others. I went through forums and saw that many did the above process.

I am just afraid if the phone is fine!

It is not locked! I checked it in the services menu! But still am afraid!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tintobrass:
i had the same problem like yours when i first got my phone , even i tried cutting my normal sim into the micro sim size and tried inserting it ,however it never worked that way .. may be because of the way each sim card is built. I tried cutting 2-3 sims and it never worked. Eventually i had go to my service provider and had to replace my sim with a micro sim card and it worked straight away. I heard many iphone users claiming the manually cut sim working in their phones but i guess it will never work that easily with XPS. So just chill and get a micro sim from your operator it should work. :)

Even cutting it with a tool () won't work!?

I live in a remote area and getting a new micro sim takes time!

And I wonder if I can get a new micro sim with the same old number and old network!

Hope the tool works!!!

I did cut the SIM myself and it worked the first time in.

It was bit easier for me as I have company iPhone 4, and I could compare sizes and placement.

Same thing for me on XPERIA S. T-mobile Croatia microSIM works when i cut it but Tele2 Croatia is not working. Tried on iPhone 4 and same thing. I cut both in same way so I think the problem is in card. The chip is different on each SIM. Anyway Tele2 croatia microSIM is coming next week so I don't care.

Try cutting a diagonal corner off, make sure its the corresonding one to the mini sim. The contacts may be out of line.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RiotRick:
I have cut 2 sims now with a cutter from ebay. Both worked fine in the xperia s.

A colluege of mine cut a sim manually with a pair of scissors for his iphone 4s. He managed to destroy his sim and had to get a replacement.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arkedk:
Yep you can, just contact your service provider and tell them to send you a micro sim, or go to one of their stores and have them replace it.

A SIM card can easily get ruined by cutting it yourself, if you cut to close to the connector (Connectors can vary in size) or cut some of the string going down to the actual chip it wont work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jazz Like That:
But in India things won't be that simple! If I could get a micro sim from the service provider then I wouldn't be taking the risk of cutting the sim!

Well. Finally I succeeded cutting the sim properly and my mobile is good to go now! Thank you all for the replies! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arkedk:
Good to hear it worked out.

If Airtel is your carrier, then this is what they write on their website.

Just want to share the images of the cut sim that is working fine in my Xperia S.

Still using a tool LIKE THIS will be better instead of cutting it manually because if we cut it manually the lines may not align properly.

micro sim

I've cut mine as well, it didn't work until I cut in to the contacts, IDK why. Then I had to send my phone away because of the yellow tint issue and my newly cutted SIM didn't fit the convertor properly so I wasn't able to put it in my old phone. I had to go to Vodafone to give me real microsim that fits the converter. Once I was in the shop it was question of 5 minutes to get it :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sikiduck:
Some SIM cards got 5 contacts lines, but you only need the 3 in the middle. Like this I cut myself:

You can see that I cut away some gold at the bottom there.

It also got a little bit smaller on the width, but u just have to make sure u push the sim card as much as you can upwards when you plug it in your phone. If the sim is "hanging" down/not on line, the phone wont detect it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
why to cut, my provider (tmobile croatia) give me one for free, 2min in service center and i go home with brand new sim card with same number as my old one..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] GT35pro:
My service provider charged me $20 for it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kaosdroid:
Krkrkr!!

Sony,

put micro sim on their phone for many raison,

but one is to avoid infected sim that cause trouble on the phone(autoreboot,batteryDrain,massive sms sending,avoid warranty,ect..),and force old sim user to get another one,

but if you be sure that you never flash,download,put,copy,ect.. On your previous phone:-D

then you need to cut the sim perfect of the contact,and you need to place it correct,because the contact are not exactly same.

Good luck,

Me,for have network on mine take me 4hours

And if it say no sim when insert it,

you can restart it and it detect correct

Place the square in the midle with tiny push at left.

Sorry for language.

But I strongly recommend you that you wait for a totally safe new microsim

And not try your old sim

But it's just my opinion.

;-)

If after start your phone with signal ok and you receive an empty sms and you have FC in battery stats and one FC on the home friend widget

That's why you not wait a new sim :-D

Ciao

As you can see some are not same
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jazz Like That:
I cut the sim because micro sim is not yet available in our region. Its been many months since iphone 4s is released (dunno if other iphones use micro or mini sim) but still the network providers are not bothering about launching micro sim.

Thing I want to talk about battery.Alot of people are complaining about batttery being drain so quickly.

I recommend take your battery to be check with a battery tester.Your battery may be in poor condition.I have test my battery and found out that my battery

are in poor condition cause my battery is almost 18 month old.You can take the battery to Radio Shack or Cell phone store and have them test it to make sure your battery is in good condition or need to be replace.

Important thing is never charge your battery overnight it will hurt the battery and it will shorten the battery condition

Here the link how to test your battery if you have a battery tester or take it to Radio Shack have them test it for you.

It is a shame to say that I still use Android 2.2 with Kernel 2.6.32.21, Taiwan version since I bought the phone a year ago.

(Not until recently, I have decided to move on to Gingerbread because

I wanna use the the latest features in the NDK to write some C++ programs for Android.)

Without getting into trouble during/after rooting,

I tried an official OTA upgrade but it doesn't work.

I tried to ask HTC but they said they still don't have any official upgrade for my phone.

I am a newbie here in this forum,

Could anybody please kindly offer your help please?

It will be GREATLY APPRECIATED! I wanna make my App!!!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
If there is no official Gingerbread for your phone (which seems odd ?) then you can flash a different official GB ROM onto your phone. But normally your phone isn't going to let you do this, because it will fail the signature checks.

What you need to do is to de-brand your phone so that it doesn't do these checks any more. I will see if I can dig out a link to a guide and edit it into my post, unless someone else beats me to it.

BTW, after a quick look of the thread, it seems that S-off is recommended...

Do I need to get "root" in order to do so?

Should I do that to prevent future trouble?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Always recomend rooting phones right away, if you have a custom recovery and an enginering bootloader you can save tons of headaches in the future when problems arise (as they often do) this of course is outside the fact that a rooted phone is a happy phone and certainly not an apple
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
As demkantor said, getting S-OFF is a lot better because it gives you a lot more options for the future, even if you don't use those options straight away.

IMHO the only reason to use the goldcard method and not full S-OFF is if you are really worried about voiding your warranty or the S-OFF process yourself. But there's no need to worry really, since (a) you can easily reverse the process if you need to, and (b) lots of people here can help you through getting S-OFF (the XDA Wiki explains it very well, though it can look daunting at first).

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
+1 to the notion of just rooting the phone. Especially since if are software developer, I would think that you would want full control over your device. And if you have these type of skill, rooting will be easy.

As mentioned, root, S-Off etc. can be removed for warranty purposes, if that is the concern.

The Wiki method is generally accepted as the safest:

Hey guys I've never sold a cdma phone and I need to know how cause i'll be selling it in a couple months.... Obviously with gsm you just take the sim out and give it to the next guy... But with cdma you kinda cant do that... I've head that if you activate your phone number with a different phone that it'll clear whatever links it to your account? But idk hah I figured asking on here would be the best! Any help is appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Go to your home screen then press menu. Then scroll down to sd & phone storage. At the bottom of the screen it will be an option to "Factory data reset"

Underneath the option it will state

"Erase all data on phone". If you choose that it will return the phone to it's original factory conditions therefore erasing all user data. There are other methods that you can do to return your phone back to factory conditions as well but imo this method would be a quick solution for you. Hope this helps.

Porting your number to a different phone/carrier will automatically disconnect your phone from your sprint account. No need to do anything else. Just do a clean install and clear all your data and don't forget to remove the micro SD card and you'll be fine.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kirk_the_jerk:
This is a great idea but I can't get it to go after multiple tries (different SD cards, different boot methods, etc). I suspect it may have to do with how the SD card is being formatted; is there a trick to this?

Edit: Do I need stock recovery & not CWM?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Thibor69:
How do we do this step ?? I mean I know you want us to format our SDCARD 2GB or bigger as Fat32 LBA Boot. BUT How do you go about doing that ?? What do you use ??? ADB ? DOS/Win ?

Thanks !
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Unfortunately, I can only tell you how to set it for boot and LBA in Linux or with a GParted Live disc. You may be able to do it with "Parted" via ADB. I'll try it and post back shortly.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Pete1612:
my linux doesn't want to recorgnize adb when I'm in clockworkmod :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
If you're in Linux just use GParted to format the card and set the flags once the volume is created.

For those running Windows you can do this via ADB (I have to boot CWM and then go into ADB for Parted to work). This comes up often but I couldn't find a how-to on it to link to... kind of surprising that it wasn't already out there.

Format your sd card first... just personal preference so I can be sure the empty disk I'm looking when in parted is the one I want to adjust.

Open CMD as Administrator

(Type and execute what's written in blue below. Read comments in parenthesis but don't type them.)

parted /dev/block/mmcblk1

print

(verify that the disk listed is the correct one, there should only be 1 partition #1 it should be FAT32)

set 1 boot on

set 1 LBA on

print (look at the right under "flags" to be sure that "boot" and "LBA" are now set.)

quit

exit ADB as usual or continue as needed.

EDIT: Oh and SDCARD < 2GB means 2GB or smaller. You may have issues trying to use a card larger (this includes larger cards which are partitioned smaller).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] meghd00t:
Ok here is a sdcard image that you should be able to use with dd or win32diskimager to make the sdcard. This will work on any card 512MB or larger. I have made a 500MB partition and added the necessary files, you will still have to add the factory.zip (b&n 1.4.2 update)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Awww.... I thought the disc was easy enough to set up. :P

I've been playing around with this and it works fine. I found it responds the same way it did for me when I did the reformatting the past couple times: The "DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE" warning doesn't go away. There's just a red X in the upper right corner which indicates it is working and not safe to turn off the device and after a minute or two it is replaced with a green check mark at which point you press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds to turn off the device. Remove the card and power back up.

The first time I ran this I was greeted with the notice that there was a problem and to restart the device and if the error occurs again to contact B&N support. Upon restarting it went through the first boot process normally.

I've been asked about the results from the former thread. I'll host a copy of the image file I've used to repartition as they're doing at B&N (5.50GB/7.45GB) with 1.4.0. I'll host it for a week or so, but it's 270MB so if someone wants to put it on a torrent of whatever, feel free.

Do a CWM backup first. Verify the MD5 checksum of the img file inside of the zip file after you download the image, before you burn it to make sure it's not corrupt... that would suck. MD5 = ae1d489a3b33f3e69360cc8e9c0bc096 You can check the checksum in Windows using a free app called WinMD5Free and you can burn the image with Win32DiskImager. This image does NOT load a boot manager. It boots straight in and repartitions and restores 1.4.0 with no prompts. Don't boot with this image if you are ready.

ONLY FOR 16GB NTs!!! --> http://www.fadingworld.com/NT/repart.img.zip

All credit for getting this img figured out (particularly the whole getting the NT to boot after the repartitioning) goes to meghd00t and probably the folks he thanks too.

EDIT: Finally compressed the img file and uploaded it so it's down to 270MB. This is a COMPLETE image, you don't need to change anything as long as you're fine with 1.4.0 and B&N's new partitioning scheme.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Pete1612:
hmm the image doesn't work on CM7 do you need to have the stock rom installed ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
I don't even need to look at the script to be quite confident that there is a check to ensure that the device "qualifies" before continuing... This is all based on B&N's own reflash system. These cards flash your NT with one version or another of the stock OS... you should revert to 1.4.0 - 1.4.2 first... They will not leave CM7 intact.

EDIT: Now megdh00t's image should still boot into cyanoboot and be able to load CWM. The image I've supplied just boots and runs the partitioning script immediately. If you're trying meghd00t's and it's not booting at all then verify the download and try booting from the card by turning off the Nook, insert the card, plug in the factory charge cable and that will turn it on and it should boot from the SD.... if that still fails try a different card. I keep a few 1GB and smaller SDs on hand just because larger SDs are problematic sometimes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 2013 class:
Thank you for the image. Quick ?s. Will this image work for a NT, with CM7 running on SD card only, stock B&N 1.40? And can I use this without hooking up the NT to a computer? If so, do I just pop the SD card with the image on it and viola I am repartitioned and still have 1.40? Any help will greatly be appreciated by this newby chick. . .
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
I've used the image I posted on two NTs now and I've tried both methods numerous times on my NT. I haven't had a single problem (except for when I do it on purpose). Both of the NTs were stock, rooted NTs. I don't have CM7 and have little interest in setting it up so I can only certify that this does work on a factory NT. If you have an alternate boot manager or CWM or CM7 flashed internally then you may very well have problems. If you're booting straight from SD and nothing has been changed in the NTs internal memory then it should run with any problem.
