Are you trying to sim unlock or did you set up a sim pin?

If you set up a sim pin and entered the wrong code too many times then you will have to get a new sim.
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
he entered the wrong unlock code more than the allotted amount. so the phone is flat out useless unless the provider (providing they support this device) gets involved.
[HTC Excalibur] hovax615@hotmail.com:
yeah, i was throwing in my two cents.
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
oh..i didnt know we are actually supposed to help people here..i thought we just criticize them, take em down a notch or two, throw in a blurb about the search function then make fun of stylez. thats the most important part. dont forget to make fun of stylez..
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
oh i almost forgot

stylez wears womens make-up when no one is looking.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:

[HTC Excalibur] hovax615@hotmail.com:
i'd rather be wearing womens makeup then wearing womens underwear...you never tried to blend a pimple with blemish make up?
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
we try to keep a healthy balance between criticizing , taking them down a couple of notches, reminding them that the search function is not a vd , that is ok to touch it :D , and then make fun of stylez.:D

[Moto G Stylus 5G] Shawn77371:
I bought a Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 ( XT2215-4 ) to fix and sell.. I replaced the display and battery and went to test everything and it would pickup WIFI but no cell signal / data. The phone detects there's a sim card but it's like it just can't read it.

So I thought it could only be 1 of 2 issues.

1: A Antenna issue or 2: The sim reader on the logic Board is faulty.

I inspected the antennas that run from the Logic Board down to the Daughter Board and they both seem to be right and the connections snug.

// Side Question: Are there any other antennas hid out somewhere other than the two Black and white coaxial antennas that's in the back of the phone //

So I figured it must be the sim reader is faulty so I ordered a parts phone with the defects listed on the parts phone as broken display glass everything else is working..

So I swapped out the Logic Board and Daughter Board with the Antennas still attached. I go to test the phone and I still have the same dang issue with it detecting the SIM but not connecting..

I think it would be almost impossible for me to get 2 phones back to back from different people with the same exact problems..

Would anyone happen to have any ideas?

Thanks In Advance
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Droidriven:
Can you confirm that the device's IMEI is intact/uncorrupted?

Since you swapped the radio, you might need to flash a compatible modem.img in order to make a proper connection, especially if the device is from a different region than where the device is being used.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Shawn77371:
Both phones IMEI's showed clean when I did the PhoneCheck report before buying them.

Both phones are US models 1 came from California and the other Florida if I remember correctly.

Both are on the TMobile US network

I've never had a phone give me such a hard time at this point I think any profit to be made on this phone is gone so I'll probably just give it away to someone truly in need.

Pending I get it working right and I absolutely refuse to let a phone beat me lol
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Droidriven:
I didn't ask if the IMEI were intact when you bought them, I asked if they are intact now after you've altered things.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Shawn77371:
Yes
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Droidriven:
Is the SIM activated and has the device been activated on the network?

You've changed out all the hardware and the issue still persists, this indicates that it is a software issue. Have you tried connecting it to Motorola's Rescue and Smart Assistant flashing software and letting it scan the device to find the correct firmware and then flash the firmware that it retrieves?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Shawn77371:
Well I can confirm you're 100% correct that it's a software issue..

But still very buggy. After I do a rescue with Motorola's Rescue and Smart Assistant it somewhat fixes the issue..

It will work like it should for about the first 5 minutes and then it will revert back to the original issue. It's kinda like it receives a signal to kick it offline or something..

So just to triple check I logged in to my PhoneCheck portal and pulled yet another IMEI report for the phone and everything came out clean and clear. So just to make sure PhoneCheck wasn't miss reporting I pulled a report with my IMEI Pro account and it pulled the same results as PhoneCheck did ( Free & Clear )

So then I thought it could be an update that gets installed during the setup process that is causing it to bug out like it is. So I tried it another time and this time I told it to not install updates on setup and killed the WiFi just to be sure it had no way to connect and install any updates during setup but no dise it still gives me the same buggy results..

I swear I've been buying, fixing and reselling phones and tablets now for 5yrs and have never had a device give me such an issue..

I think it's time to just wash my hands and sell this phone as a parts only phone and start putting my time and attention into a different device..

I have a OnePlus 10T that just needs a new ear speaker and I think it will make me more money than this phone after you factor in how much time I wasted trying to get this phone to work and the money spent on the 2nd parts phone to use the hardware out of it
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Droidriven:
Could the device possibly have been blacklisted before it was sold to you, either by being reported lost/stolen or due to the previous owner not paying their bill? Even with WiFi and mobile data off, it still communicates with the network on the cellular side of the radio, it could be registering on the cellular side then getting kicked off due to being blacklisted.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Shawn77371:
On the IMEI reports it shows clean under the general blacklist area.

Then under the carrier blacklist check it shows clean.

Also keep in mind that the original device has this issue of not connecting so I bought a parts phone from a different person so I could transfer all it's internals over and the issue still persist.

While it's very possible to get two phones back to back from different people to have the same issue I would think that it's very unlikely that it would happen.

I was reading on Motorola's website forums that with the 2021 model a lot of peoples phones just started doing the same thing out of the blue after the android 11 update..

However the 2022 model ships with android 12 so I'm pretty sure Motorola fixed that bug and has nothing to do with this devices issue..

Crazy is all I can say lol
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Droidriven:
This is one of those times when it is probably something obvious that neither of us would think should have anything to do with the issue or something so subtle and simple that it is being overlooked.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Shawn77371:
I agree 100%
[Moto G Stylus 5G] bobbyp1086:
Man I hate reviving old threads, but I have no option but to ask

I have had this phone and changed screens 5 times battery 2 times b this most recent one I get this same thing. It's like the service is shut off. No known carrier, no signal but it reads sim and Wi-Fi works, I'm using it now as it's my daily driver. But text only work thru Google messages, texts from carrier to login don't come thru so can't login to my account to see if the SIM is the cause. I did change the daughter board as I blew the speaker on the original, if its simple as the SIM needs to bind to the phone again, getting to that is impossible at this point because I can't get that text from Metro to login.

Did you fix this issue?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patey07:
found this old kindle recently, Kindle Fire HD 7 2nd Gen, and i remember I had previously done some work with rooting and flashing but I'm not sure what I had done with it. I cant access the bootloader via buttons on startup so I may have broken something but it boots up and can browse the web and download apps from the amazon app store. I seem to have attemted to get the play store but either failed or it stopped working over time.

whats the best way to move forward with updating it? can I just flash a new rom?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iam10:
During my googling I did come across some XDA threads with various information on logo.bin editing and several programs to work with them. It seems that it must be specific to the cpu? I'm not sure where else to ask for help with this. This isn't *really* android related but I feel the premise is the same. I have a Kingbolen BM580: https://kingbolentool.com/products/kingbolen-6-12v-car-battery-tester-reversible-access-clip

I know for certain that the boot logo can be edited, the manufacturer will not release the tools to do so. I'm able to connect to the device and can see what looks like some MTK variant maybe. Tried using some of the tools other XDA members wrote for extracting / editing the logo.bin but no success.

Could anyone help me figure this one out? Linked below is the full extract from the device, and also just the logo.bin

Full dump: https://archive.org/details/bm-580

Hi Guys...

Couple of questions for you...

1. I have a o2 XDA Serra and i am struggling to get the GPS working. I have installed TomTom Navigator but it fails to get a fix, even if it is left for a hour. Couldnt last any longer as it killed the battery. I have also downloaded the HTC GPS Tool which i found on this forum and that also cannot get a GPS fix. I have heard that it is a possible fault with the phone?

2. Also, hopefully this one is more simple, is there anyway i can change the default view in My Pictures on the device to a thumbnail view? It currently only displays a list, and if i am not sure of the file name i have to go into each one to view it. One more thing..can i tell it to save files direct to the SD card?

Sorry if these are basic questions...

We are very excited to announce the stable of Paranoid Android Topaz, based on Android 13.

On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with beautiful wallpapers from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose design stands for itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We also added further UI touches that we believe enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app from the PlayStore.

Hi all. Being using this rom a couple days. Thx for your effort.

Just posting some notes from daily use.

1)Till now native Camera app has a lot of bugs, so I'm using Gcam from Gcamator app, seems ok.

2) Gallery for pics is absent, instead Photos from Google is here. Could you maybe add Gallery since uploading to gmail accounts is restricted to each person's account storage, and gallery is a lot simpler?

3) One Handed mode is actually working? How?

4) Main Menu in launcher doesn't have any customization options for folders, or ABC row in the side, or categories just Search Bar.Maybe add something from these, since having a lot of apps is hard to find one ?

5) Color Correction just gives boost to yellow saturation and everything looks yellowish?

6)Color inversion gives anything magenta and white colours only?

7) Casting to my Smart LG Tv can't happen. As soon as TV shows the loading icon the phone just suspends/disconnects and i get that message from the TV. Could do with official rom. Also when touching the button from quick status screen there isn't any option available. Only if I press the Settings button then I can see my Television.

Just a feedback and no criticism of course. Thx for your effort !
