Re: N900 Problem: SIM Card Not Recognized
 

Is there any way you can make a video about flashing the n900 because i think i'm not doing it right.

Re: N900 Problem: SIM Card Not Recognized
 

Finally did it right! SIM card is now working perfectly

Re: N900 Problem: SIM Card Not Recognized
 

So you reflashed your phone and now you don't have that Sim Card red dash icon anymore? And you are using the new design chip as well?

I thought after the firmware update everything would be fine and dandy but it still has the same problem.

So when I do a re-flash of my device, do I install the original firmware and then do the OTA Updates or do I just install the latest firmware available? I guess I'll just research the flashing issue later today and I'm sure my answer is somewhere in there.

Re: N900 Problem: SIM Card Not Recognized
 

Just flashing with the latest firmware should keep problems with the upgrade away.

Re: N900 Problem: SIM Card Not Recognized
 

That's what I did. I just flashed it with the new firmware and now my SIM works perfectly. I don't know if my SIM is the new design; all i know is that I got my SIM in 2006. Hope that helped.

Hi, I had the same issue and it jus after flashing the new FW (the 90 meg one). It helped me to get back to previous one with NSU and flashing the newest one again.

Thanks! I will flash tonight. Will be my first time lol.

Re: N900 Problem: SIM Card Not Recognized
 

I updated OTA last week, but it didn't fix my problems. I then reflashed over USB to the global version instead of the USA version, still didn't fix it and now 90% of the time I try to make a call, I only get "General Error". I can still text and receive phone calls though... I'm going to try to reflash both the eMMC and the firmware again tonight, this time with the USA version. If this still doesn't work, I'm just going to chalk it up to a hardware issue and try seeing if Nokia can do something about it. :\

Re: N900 Problem: SIM Card Not Recognized
 

Waiting to see what ends up happening. Please let us know because I was also considering just going with the Global version as well but seeing that it didn't make a difference for you I guess I will just stick with USA version.

What do you mean reflash the eMMC? I thought firmware was only thing there is to flash.

Re: N900 Problem: SIM Card Not Recognized
 

I also didn't know what those things meant. There were also some things about red flags and something but you shouldn't pay attention to those things. Just do the flash as it's explained in the wiki and you'll be alright.
