I can confirm this bug. I had the same problem with my Alcatel One Touch Fire, branch v1.2 and v1.4 (master).

I solved it by applying this fix by cargabsj175:

@Bob: Can you try to build with https://github.com/weisslj/B2G? It is equal to the current B2G master (1727144), but uses b2g-manifest with the above fix applied.

This is the dev-b2g thread that helped me:

@Johannes W: I try to build the branch v1.2 with https://github.com/weisslj/B2G but at the end i got the same result. the SIM card is not working.

[Johannes W]

@Bob: It will only work if you do not limit the branch to v1.2. Try ./config.sh without BRANCH!

I have the same issue on my hamachi (Alcatel OneTouch Fire). Affected branches: v1.2, v1.4 and v2.1 (master). Proposed solution works (checkout branch "caf/b2g/ics_strawberry_v1" in "hardware/ril" ), so please merge it (because phone without functionality of phone is not usable)

Please try to rename or remove file /system/bin/rilproxy and restart the device.

Fix "No SIM card" on Alcatel One Touch Fire

Thanks for the PR. I'd like you to check one thing first though - remove the rilproxy repo from the manifest, and make sure your build doesn't have rilproxy in /system/bin/. If that works, please submit a PR to remove rilproxy instead.

[Michal Labedzki]

I can confirm that I manually remove rilproxy from /system/bin and it works (modem works).

Thanks for the replies! I will try that, unfortunately I can only do it next week.

My phone went into the "Unknown SIM card state" today.  The upper-right corner signal strength meter showed 5 bars and if I pulled down the "windowshade" it showed "T - Mobil".  The Settings sections "Call Settings", "Messaging Settings", and "Cellular & Data" all reported "Unknown SIM card state".  Couldn't place calls or send text messages.

I saw in a different bug that it might have something to do with airplane mode.  I double-checked that I was not in airplane mode but nonetheless I enabled airplane mode and then disabled it and now things are working again.

I finally got time to test the suggestion of removing `/system/bin/rilproxy`, and it works!

I created a new pull request in https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/b2g-manifest/pull/242
