[bug] If accidentally disabled SIM card, cannot re-enable it
asked 2018-04-24 14:47:13 +0300
First, some system details: this is Sailfish X 2.1.4.14 on F5122 (dual-sim) hardware, with installed jolla-settings-networking-multisim but without any other multisim tweaks (and only one SIM in use).
In Settings -> SIM cards it's possible to disable the SIM card by touching the checkbox. If you disable it, the controls are replaced with the "No SIM card inserted" screen and thus you cannot re-enable the SIM card.
The modem (or the SIM card slot) stays permanently disabled, even over reboots. The phone does not even request the PIN. As an exception, starting the CSD tool and opening the SIM card test temporarily enables it while the test screen is open.
If you need to exit this "no SIM" state, you can manually enable the modem with the following command:
sh
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.ofono / org.nemomobile.ofono.ModemManager.SetEnabledModems array:objpath:/ril_0
(the command does not require root access)
I don't know whether this bug can be reproduced on any standard Sailfish configuration.
Thank you. I have the same setup and did just that, experimented and unchecked the SIM card, and ended up with the empty screen with only the message "no SIM card inserted". There was no way to get out of there with "normal" means, but your solution helped me.
