Hello. I will go through what I have done thus far to fix this and describe the problem as best I can.
Upon booting up a fresh version of Turbo ROM, after being on TruPure for quite a long time, I booted up to find the SIM card and SD card no longer functional. The menu for cellular networks is greyed out and the sd card is not recognized in the phone booted up, or in recovery. Windows does recognize the SD card and functions as normal.
What I have tried:
Obvious things like reseating, removing, reinstalling. Reinstalling when in recovery, when booted up, everything you can think of.
I downloaded and flashed new modems through using internal storage.
I updated TWRP in case something was going on in recovery.
WIFI still works in terms of getting data
The only thing I haven't tried is backing up the contents of the SD card and reformatting due to being at work. But given this is both the SIM card and SD card, I do not believe this will solve the problem.
Has anyone had this issue or has any advice? I am obviously rooted and unlocked and sending this in for repair probably isn't a great option.
Thank you
Edit: Just wanted to add that this SIM issue first popped up after flashing the Pure Nexus ROM, then Turbo, then back to TruPure. All the same result. But it was fine before I flashed Pure Nexus.
try flash NON-HLOS.bin, hope this will help
So I ended up using the back-to-stock tool and went the nuclear option. This allowed the SIM card and SD card to be recognized. If anyone else seems to have this issue, using that method will get you back up and running at least.

I followed the original root method on my mytouch slide but lost it recently from the OTA update. I followed the New Root Method as of 8/13! (Even for latest OTA) to try and get rood again and the second time you enter ./exploid it worked but wouldn't give me root access in any of my apps. I rebooted and tried again without luck. Now my phone refuses to see that the sd card is inserted even though the card works fine in my laptop and I can't get usb debugging to work anymore. I just did a factory reset and cleared the cache partition through recovery but still no luck. Is there a way to fix this?
For some reason the sd card only worked in hboot so I tried flashing the stock .img and that still didn't fix the problem.
Just a suggestion. have you tried reformatting your sdcard? Not possitive it would work but its worth a shot. Strange things can happen. and well it happened to me back in the day with the g1.
Friend of a friend's phone. They had a rooted stock rom, had FC/restart issues, then after uninstalling an app, phone stopped recognizing external SD card altogether. I tried flashing stock rom, prerooted stock rom, wipe, nothing helped. SD card isn't even recognized in recovery mode (tried stock and TWRP). Tried applying permission fix too, no change.
Hardware wise the phone seems okay, no water damage or anything (phone was dropped though). Even tried replacing the SIM/SD card reader module, but that didn't solve anything either. I'm at my wits' end with this phone. Any ideas?

This happened to my phone periodically and was super annoying. I needed to use an OTG USB cable with microSD reader to install ROMs in recovery! Anyhow, it seemed to always work really nicely with stock based ROMs and was hit and miss with AOSP ROMs.
I noticed that when my phone got warm this problem appeared but only with AOSP ROMs. Possibly related, my phone had trouble with some custom kernels. Leads me to believe I had a flaky / borderline to acceptable tolerances component on the main board somewhere.
I know this doesn't help you but I ended up getting my main board replaced to fix another problem while under warranty. The issues resolved itself.
If you're still reading this novel try popping the memory card into a computer and reformatting to see if that helps. Backup data first of course.
Hello everyone!
I, quite recently, bought an Alcatel Idol X 6040X (the one with only one micro-sim slot) and decided it's a good idea to root it. After a few minutes I managed to root it with Kingo Root. Everything was working perfect but later the phone started misbehaving - every app, every single smurfing app started crashing no reason whatsoever. I decided I'd do a factory wipe and get a better ROM (because the stock ROM sucks pants, lmao); I installed this ROM. Everything ran so smooth so I went to tinker with the options and noticed that the "About Phone" section says that my phone is now a Nexus 4. "Okay, I guess" - I said shrugging. "Everything is running good so why worry?"
Later I noticed some apps started misbehaving so I went to storage and discovered that my phone mounted its inner storage twice. One being the SD Card, the other being the Inner Storage (And both showed different contents).
First I booted up to recovery to fix permissions. Everything went well, also wiped Dalvik and Cache; then booted up the system, wham - a bootloop. After resolving it by reinstalling the ROM everything was fine again so I went on to reinstall XPosed. I noticed it won't work, because somehow, Superuser went completely absent. So I went to Terminal Emulator, punched in "su" but nothing happened. So I rooted the phone again (with Kingo Root again) and root with its SuperUser worked fine again, but the SD Card/Inner Storage unmount bug persisted.
I decided to unmount and mount SD card and my SD card showed up, everything was okay. Strangely, it unmouted its inner storage and said it was okay to remove it. Yes, You read that right, inner storage was okay to remove. Aaand... TADAAA! Gapps crashed. SwiftKey crashed. Acore crashed. Everything went on crashing again.
After rebooting everything went back to normal (in my case, the inner storage mounting twice but at least nothing crashed). I decided to see what would happen if I moved everything from the so-called SD Card to inner storage and mount my SD card. Now, every single app is crashing again even after reboot.
What do I do to fix the issue? Especially the one with mounting/unmounting my SD Card and Inner storage, it's the most infuriating thing ever! Maybe there's a better ROM but I can't find it?
Thanks in advance!
Is it my imagination or can updating to 6.0 cause the SD Card slot to cease to exist? Manually force updated stock rom from 5.0 to 6.0.1. Everything seemed to be working fine, until I went to access files on the SD card. No card found. Rebooted into recovery mode, unable to mount sd. Connecting to computer, no sd. Did a little searching, backed everything up to a thumb drive, factory reset, flashed cache, etc. Rebooted, went through 4 or 5 updates....still no SD. I'm getting 'SD not Inserted' message when I try to access it. But the dang thing was working before I flashed to 6.0.1 . What the flunk?
I suppose the next option is to root and try a custom rom for the 900M ? Unless someone has other ideas?
Thanks.
Hello, my phone is running Invicta and I'm trying to flash Lineage through TWRP, but the issue is that I just got a micro sd card as I had stored all my data on my system memory. My phone prompted me to transfer my data to it, so I did. When I tried to get into TWRP, it popped up with a message about the ROM. I ignored it and swiped, and it took me into TWRP. I went to the install area and I found that it was still on my internal storage, so I tried to switch it over to the microsd and when I selected it nothing happened. Are there any ways to fix this?
