[Sony Xperia M] learner420:
there is no option to flash boot.img file in flashtool :(
[Sony Xperia M] SK:):
Connect your phone to flashtool, make sure that connection is in Mass Storage. Click the Flash button and select fastboot mode, Now a new Window popups, click 'Reboot to adb mode', check log in flashtool, now your mobile indicator led is in blue color. Next, click on 'Reboot to fastboot mode', check log and then click on 'Flash Kernel' and direct it to select the boot.img before that make sure You select the file type as *.img in the new window, by default it was *.sin. Thats all.

I'm sorry if this has been answered in any other thread. I tried to partition my Internal SD card to use Link2sd and now it just shows damaged sd card in the status bar drop down. I am able to mount it to my pc by going to the recovery and that's all. Can anyone help me with this. Now the partition is Fat32, Primary with a drive letter. Please do help if somebody can :crying:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
Format it from the phone. Or flash a stock jb firmware including PIT file.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirancr7:
Thanks for that! Can please share the pit file? And also I want to try to repartition it using the mini tool can anyone share the default partition table of mcck0?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirancr7:
Fixed! Neither of it worked.

After spending whole of my sunday on this, all i had to do was flash a twrp kernel(I used apolo) and and format the emmc.

Long OP short,

This issue is annoying, at least for those of us who're facing it.

Frequency of occurring:

-occasionally, 1~2 days device on time ( in my case, some reported to have it more frequent )

Possible Fix:

-Disables locations ( works for some, but not me, still getting it in about 1~2days device on time )

-Uninstalling Google Search Update ( works for some, somewhat true in my case, but still pops up a couple more days than usual )

Here's the direct link to a Google Product Forum, with people reporting people facing this issue

Finally, someone actually made a thread about this.

I've having this issue too, batch #310k, getting it almost every 1 ~ 24 hrs range, it kind of random, turning off Location seems to help a lil'. WiFi, Data OFF, I rarely use data/wifi, mostly on 2G network for phone calls and sms.

Team Nexus 5 sucks
[Nexus 5 General] nextguy:
I had the exact same problem and did an RMA. Google asked me to a factory reset, which did nothing of course, and then emailed me a shipping label for the return. I got my new phone a week later. No problems with this one.

OMG I thought it was because of me !! I thought I did a bad thing while putting my SIM card. Thanks god it's not because of me and I'm not alone in this case :D

I sent it last week to ASS, I hope it gonna be okay. I'll tell you the answer I get when they'll receive it !

Try going back to 100% Completely stock
[Nexus 5 General] Barracuda77777:
This is a hardware issue, I had the problem from the second day that I got the phone. If your sim tray is sticking out, chances are that the pins are not lined up against your sim card.

After it got very annoying, I called Google, they confirmed that this was a hardware issue, before I called Google though I tried it with a new sim card and also went fully stock. so after that Google agreed to do the RMA.....

With the replacement phone the sim tray aligns perfectly flush when inserted, it has been now a bit over 10 days since I got the replacement no pop up messages so far.
[Nexus 5 General] deepthought_s:
I don't have that issue luckily, but are there any information about which ones have it, like serial number or building line.
[Nexus 5 General] rayz93:
It's hard to say, I'm using the 310k batch, most users who reported are on 310k batch, but some who have gotten their replacement 311k batch and a very few 312k batch are reporting they're still having the issue, like 90min after they first boot their phone with a simcard.

Hopefully it's not a hardware defect, and rather just some software issue with the cellular tower triggering some event on the OS to show that message.
[Nexus 5 General] AndroidUzer:
Add me to the list, this just started happening to me.

At this point it happens anytime randomly about once a day.
[Nexus 5 General] mrlow999:
SIM Card Added Problems too

Me as well. Have a launch day phone (Rev11) 32G Black. Started with the error about two weeks ago. I'm using Straight Talk (ATT). Tried re-seating the SIM tray, blowing out the socket, factory reset, cleaning the SIM card, you name it. I've had it happen on stock 4.4 as well as CM11.

I called Google on Monday after reading the lengthy thread on G+ and after 5 min of troubleshooting, they decided to warranty the phone. The rep I talked with had never heard of the problem. Weird thing is that my wife's N5 (ordered at the same time) doesn't do it at all. She is using T-mobile. Maybe the ATT SIM?

I only hope my replacement is as good as my original. Aside from the slightly loose buttons, my screen was perfect, with no dead pixels or light bleed.

I'll report back when I get it if the new H/W fixes the issue
[Nexus 5 General] lion070:
Hi , i bought this phone 2 days ago and having the same problem . Phone keeps telling me he found a new sim card .

Cant find any solution for it . seems also not everybody has this problem .

Is this an hardware or software issue ?
[Nexus 5 General] lion070:
I found out that i got different simcard`s around , they one that`s making the "new sim card added" problem has a sim chip that is a bit deeper in a circle on the chip . Got a new chip now and no problems anymore so far :good:
[Nexus 5 General] chafa84:
used to have that problem

I used to have this problem with a microsim cuted on my past phone (nexus 4) ... at least 1 time in a day i got the message that i have to restart my phone because the new addition of the sim card ... lol ... i didnt bother me to much initially ... i always suspect from "the cuted by myself " simcard coming from my old samsung galaxy nexus , tired of the situation i went to my local carrier and i ask for a replacemtent sim (like 4 dollars), they didn´t ask me too much why i want to change my sim card ... after that , never have that issue again ... i think that the old batches of microsim cards have issues ,

Start changing your sim card before RMA your phone .
[Nexus 5 General] CurtNewt:
interesting to know...
[Nexus 5 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
I remember having this problem with my S3 and galaxy nexus. I assumed it was the rom or my sim card. So far (knocked on wood), it hasn't happen to me with Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] chafa84:
I have never had problems about "sim card inserted , please reboot message " after changing my cutted normal sim card , i start with them , after i cut my full size SIM from my GNEX to put in on my new nexus 4 , after two days i start receiving those messages , very after i receive broadcast messages from my carrier (coincidence ? i don´t know) , before start changing roms or kernels (at that time i used to have stock with franco kernel) i went with my local carrier , change the sim , and problem solved , 6 months without problems , next give my nexus 4 to my wife , and buy a nexus 5 put my old sim card , and start using the phone right away without any problems ... i bought my phone at december 28 2013 batch 311K... i have never had (knock wood lol) problems at all. very happy client
[Nexus 5 General] vukis:
Is everybody stopped receiving this error? Maybe somebody has the solution? I am tired of those random sim card added errors :(

This error appearance is very irregular: sometimes it occurs few times a week, sometimes only weekly.

Is there anybody who is receiving this error with greater then 310k batch?

P.S. I replaced my sim card to brand new, but this did not solve it.

P.S.2. Sim toolkit does not work after this error.
[Nexus 5 General] stone_phalanges:
I had this problem, but before I returned it to google I got a new sim card and the problem was solved. I used to get that message several times a day I actually could barely use the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] gaetawoo:
I still get it randomly. Someone needs to catch it with a verbose log cat
[Nexus 5 General] mindst:
This has disapiered when i got a new sim card. It is somewhat thicker than previous, which was cut from normalsize to micro. I was getting that 1-2 times a day.

I realy think it is hardware problem, as sim has loose conection to phone and sometimes disconnects from pins. I think phone doesnt notice that until it needs access sim api. Applications that needs location services cause more frequent access to sim api so disabling them somewhat helps but not fixes problem. I think gluing some paper or tape to other side of sim to make thicker may help.
[Nexus 5 General] redalertlb:
I thought it was a software issue I had the problem for like 2 days then I did a clean flash to a different ROM and it hasn't happened since.
[Nexus 5 General] howard bamber:
They made the sim tray fit better when they drilled the holes bigger for the speaker and Mike. I just used some emery paper on the metal on the try. Fine now
[Nexus 5 General] Barracuda77777:
I am glad it worked for you :) very smart so the tray goes further in so the pins are correctly where they should. :)
[Nexus 5 General] 616Nickel:
The trouble with that explanation is that newer devices (up to and including 401K) still have this problem. My SIM card tray sits perfectly flush, and the error still occurs.

Just went to the shop to exchange my SIM card for a new one. I have a further 8 days on the shop's 15-day no-questions device exchange policy, so that should be enough time to see if the error comes back.

[EDIT: And there we go. Just after I posted my reply, the error came back. Device exchange it is.]
[Nexus 5 General] Lucke:
mine started doing this randomly. it started after about 3 months of owning it (first batch owner and never RMA'd). it'll go several days with no issues, then give me this SIM card added message 3-4 times in a day. it hasn't happened in about 2 weeks (which of course means it'll happen today, right when i need it), and is never on a set schedule.

just odd
[Nexus 5 General] Ltdrev:
Whoa that's a lot of hate dropped on N5

I had same please reboot msg with one (wind) carrier Sim card and one Bell card ,Bell Sim card was lost and when I got a new one problem solves itself with the Wind sim still the same but event is so rare and occurs randomly, all of that leads me to the conclusion that the problem is more Sim related ...
[Nexus 5 General] 616Nickel:
All right, so I exchanged the phone for another 401K. Restored my nandroid backup, and the error came back within a few minutes.

Since we're counting, that's a SIM card exchange and a device exchange, to no effect.

I tried restoring the stock kernel (hey, the GPS causes a SIM card error, so why not try weird things), but the error came back.

Next up: restore my pre-nandroid configuration (rooted and unlocked, but with stock ROM and all Google updates) to see if I can trigger the error. If the error still appears, that will rule out my apps and other custom configurations.

This is a really irritating error. Very hard to nail down.
[Nexus 5 General] LaserChicken:
Just confirming the issue.

Getting this error as well. I bought two N5's from the same store, on the same day. Only one of the phones has the issue. Both phones are mostly unmodified, they are unlocked and rooted, that's the extent of mods I have done.

I tried a sim swap, but no luck.

Sent from N5
[Nexus 5 General] 616Nickel:
Do your N5s both have the same apps? If not, which apps does the problem phone have that the good one doesn't? I'm beginning to wonder if this might be a rogue app interacting with Location Services in such a way that it causes the Nexus 5 (and apparently ONLY the Nexus 5) to revolt.

I've been running through most of the remedies listed on the Google Nexus forums, but without success. Yesterday, I turned off auto-updating on Google Play, then uninstalled updates to (first) Google Search and (second) the Google Now Launcher, since some have reported success with this method.

I thought I might have gotten lucky with Google Search updates gone, because the phone ran without error for half a day. But later in the afternoon, it came back. Same with Google Now Launcher, except the error turned up much more quickly.

Things I've tried so far, a recap:

Reseated the SIM card.

Shimmed the SIM card to improve contact.

Replaced the SIM card.

Exchanged the phone for a new one (both 401K).

Uninstalled all Google app updates and reinstalled one by one.

Uninstalled just Google Search updates.

Uninstalled Google Now Launcher updates.

Reverted to stock kernel from ElementalX

Turn off GPS.

So far, the only thing that definitively kills the error is turning off the GPS. Everything else failed, sooner or later, but always within several hours.

Next strategy: leave the phone in Safe Mode whenever I'm not using it, to see if the error comes up. If it comes up again, that will eliminate non-Google apps as the source of the problem.

But if I can't resolve this before my device exchange period expires, I'll get a G2 or something.
[Nexus 5 General] demonlordoftheround:
Turning off GPS definitely stops the error. However, I've had GPS up and running without Google's location logging and I haven't had the error pop up. I'll keep everyone posted.
[Nexus 5 General] howard bamber:
We don't need you either. The phone is superb. I'm sick of whingers, like the guy and the generic antenna. It's a piece of wire! It's the length that's vital. Has to be a fraction of the wavelength. My phone is amazing for the money. It beats the s4 on antutu - 33000.

Remember the price you paid. I buy my phones and paying 700 pounds for an s4 is insane. Get an iPhone.

Sent using reversed alien technology...
[Nexus 5 General] demonlordoftheround:
Cool! I also use Transparent Weather Widget and disabled GPS location in settings. For Location on the phone I was using the "Device" setting without issue. I'm setting it to "Battery Saver" to see what happens.
[Nexus 5 General] 616Nickel:
So are you saying that you still got the error even after you'd disabled the GPS in the app?

Setting the Location Setting to Battery Saver certainly works, because it disables the GPS, but then you lose all the other useful Location services, such as Navigation, Google Now, and so on. So it resolves the problem, but only by masking it. It's like turning off the faucet at the end of a contaminated water pipe: You've killed the problem, but now you have no water. Better to find the source of contamination and allow the water to flow.
[Nexus 5 General] enigma99a:
This is a known bug in KitKat. Are you using the official build?
[Nexus 5 General] 616Nickel:
Yes, KOT49H, but unlocked and rooted. People seem to be getting it on a variety of builds and configurations, from vanilla to CM11.
[Nexus 5 General] enigma99a:
Very frustrating dialogs especially when the back button can dismiss them. I am going to wait a couple days to see if it is resolved, otherwise I am going to patch my system to suppress these annoying dialogs.
[Nexus 5 General] 616Nickel:
I notified the developer of the Transparent Clock & Weather app a couple of days ago, along with links to this forum and the Android Bug Report for this issue, and he responded this morning as follows (emphasis added):

More progress! It's still not 100% clear whether this is a bug, or simply an intentional change in GPS behaviour that has caught app developers by surprise, but we're getting closer to a resolution.
[Nexus 5 General] Lucke:
hmm, i'm not using that app, yet it's still happening to me (hasn't in a while though)
[Nexus 5 General] 616Nickel:
Over on the Android bug forums, a developer claimed that this was a HW issue with the Nexus, therefore not their department. So I inquired with the developer of the Transparent Clock & Weather app (droid27), who has recently patched the bug in his app, and received this reply:

The bug was caused by a change in the 4.4.2 gps listener function (at least that is what I found to be causing the problem in my case). I have had reports for this bug from different Android devices so it is definitely not a specific hardware issue but a 4.4.2 software issue. Hope this makes sense.

So if any of you are communicating with app developers, you may wish to mention this finding.
[Nexus 5 General] bhavstech:
i have been facing this issue too but since i replaced my 6 year old cut micro sim and got a new1 from vodafone this issue has kinda slowed down once in 2 -3 days and just pressing back button solves it first i had to reboot my phone or reinsert the sim the was a similar bug in my friends ressurection remix rom for live with walkman phone but for him it was on every boot and too frequent
[Nexus 5 General] galaxys:
Just had a simular message just once a few days after flashing the new radio .13! A reboot got rid of it...

(I'm on Purity 4.4.2)
[Nexus 5 General] Claghorn:
I've had this happen a couple of times in the few months I've had the phone. Rebooting seems to work better than just cancelling the popup with the back button. If I just cancel the dialog, the battery seems to drain excessively from that point.
[Nexus 5 General] krugdenis:
I can confirm that it started happening after 4.4.3 update (new radio), new sim added message after reboots. Haven't seen such bugs before, on 4.4.2. So I've flashed radio from 4.4.2 ) Maybe it'll help.
[Nexus 5 General] juu666:
That's disappointing. The problem for me started after I had updated to 4.4.2. I was hoping 4.4.3 would fix it. For me, on American T-Mobile, it is travel related and city dependent, so it appears to be some sort of deep-seated issue with how the phone interacts with the network. At home in Seattle, it is rare. In San Francisco, it is non-stop, and the phone is unusable. It is not a problem in Chicago. Other cities are variable. Google refused to issue an exchange and refused to honor the warranty. They said I had to replace the SIM, but even after I did, two different representatives I spoke with, refused to honor the warranty.
[Nexus 5 General] ogboot:
Seen this on 4.4.2 several times. Not yet on 4.4.3
[Nexus 5 General] mrzood:
This has happened to me on 4.4.3. Stock rooted.

I simply dismiss the message then the radio resets and I get signal back without having to reboot the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] anang1979:
me also, OMNI ROM 4.4.3. never happened on 4.4.2, so i think this is 4.4.3 bug
[Nexus 5 General] the_candyman:
I'm running 4.4.3 stock, and it just happened to me. happed before as well while running 4.4.2 and happened to my wife's Nexus 5 running 4.4.2 stock as well.
[Nexus 5 General] galaxys:
All with the same latest radio .13?
[Nexus 5 General] anang1979:
Correct, i got this pop up after flashed latest radio .13
[Nexus 5 General] Albieri[SPAM]:
My solution: when the message I clicked back on the soft key. I hung up and called again. No more appeared.
[Nexus 5 General] the_candyman:
They are both stock neither one is rooted, so I am assuming that they have the same radio,

and the baseband is M8974A-2.0.50.1.13
[Nexus 5 General] binglejellsx2:
I actually RMA'd my first (ordered on launch day) N5 around March because of this issue. The popups started randomly and intermittently but eventually got worse. At one point 8-9 of those messages were stacked on top of each other, every few hours. I finally gave in and called Google support.

Once I got the new one, all was good... until the 4.4.3 update. A couple of days after the update went out I saw this message again. Then again on the next day. Fortunately, those are the only two times on this new one. *crosses fingers*
[Nexus 5 General] galaxys:
Yep, haven't seen it again on latest radio since flashing Purity 4.4.3 custom rom...
[Nexus 5 General] stuartmc:
I was receiving the no SIM error message quite often and nothing I did in the software domain (including all the software fixes mentioned here) seemed to stop the daily irritation. I finally tried the hardware fix and placed a trimmed piece of scotch tape on the back of my SIM card and reinserted it. Problem solved! I can't say whether it was the increased thickness giving better contact or the tape insulating the card from the metal on the SIM tray, but it's been weeks without a single error notification. I would highly reccomend trying this fix since its so easy and non-invasive.

First time I 've had this "Sim card added please reboot your phone " message was when I flashed 4.4.3 ROM a few weeks ago! Rom was Kangkat and didnt include modem so I have flashed 4.4.3 rom and still had 4.4.2 modem! It took me awhile to figure this out...Message was poping out like 3 maybe 4 times a day! After I found 4.4.3 modem KTU84M (4.4.3)

M8974A-2.0.50.1.13, everything was fine and it stayed like that ! Than again today I've flashed 4.4.4 modem KTU84P (4.4.4) M8974A-2.0.50.1.16 and I am getting same message. I did flash new 4.4.4 Rom a few days ago! So my guess its somehow connected with a baseband(modem) , and I dont think is Hardware! Maybe this will help , I am too trying to figure this out!!!
[Nexus 5 General] EP35DS4:
I got this on Paranoid Rom with 4.4.2 as base suddenly after using paranoid roms for 2 or 3 month. And after their update to 4.4.3 it got so bad i wasn't able to use my phone normaly. I went back to stock, and the problem was solved. Never got this message again.
[Nexus 5 General] Brian D:
Is this a deal killer?

I am currently searching for a new phone to replace my iPhone 3GS. I have narrowed down the search (for cost reasons) to three devices and am reading XDA forums for issues like this. The three devices are Nexus 5, Moto X, and Moto G. Will probably remove the Moto G from the list because it has lower specs than the Moto X and Nexus 5.

I am currently using my iPhone on ATT Go Phone service and would cut my SIM to fit the Nexus 5.

So far this has been a very good read and I hope there is a solution. If I go with the Nexus 5 I will order it directly from Google Play Store so I am fully covered.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] galaxys:
Definitely not... This is a very rare exception. The Nexus5 will rock your Sox! :)
