IPhone 3GS can not detect SIM Card after upgraded to iOS 6.0.1

Guys I really need your advice please...
I upgraded my iPhone 3GS 32GB from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 a couple weeks ago and since then it can not detect the my SIM Card ever. Before it's been upgraded, the phone was working just fine, but now it's just like a gameboy to me. I've been trying to find solution and some stores want me too pay quite amount of money to fix it but I refused.
By the way, it has been jailbroken with RedSnow, tethered of course... and all the features are working perfectly, the WiFi is working, syncing is working, Bluetooth is working, downloading apps from App Store is okay, but only Mail and Safari won't work. I haven't got a chance to go to Apple Service Center to fix it yet, but the store I went said that Apple may say the same.
Thanks in advance.
ps to Admin: I'm a newbie, so if I posted this in the wrong room please forgive me.

Thanks Chris for your solution.
But just for you know that I bought Apple to get the 'after service', they should've warn the users not to upgrade to a higher OS if it can caused the phone 'dead'. Mine was totally unusable when it's just been upgraded. It stayed in the recovery mode and couldn't be restored. So I brought it to the nearest store and they did that to me, and eventually the phone is working, only it cannot detect my SIM Card...
The problem is not about upgrading an iPhone to a newer version of iOS. Your problem was upgrading a hacked phone, one of the well known consequences of which is re-locking and/or bricking the entire device when restoring in iTunes. You chose to hack your phones firmware and operating system, so you must accept the consequences of going outside the bounds of normal use that Apple prescribes and supports.
Had you not hacked it in the first place, you likely would have never had a problem, and if you had, Apple would have offered support to deal with it. Your choice, your decision, your consequences.

My iPhone 3GS lost the signal operator completely after upgrading to iOS version 6.1.2

My iPhone 3GS lost the signal operator completely after upgrading to iOS version 6.1.2, someone with the same problem? Just think when I enable the 3G, soon followed falls again.
I have already put another chip carrier and the same problem happens, my phone is factory unlocked.

Had same problem with iphone5 6.1.2 update. First tried reset network settings and didn work... Support recommend me a restore and ended up in recovery loop with iTunes error (-1)
Been at my carrier store (Optimus Portugal)... and iPhone sent to warranty. After 2 macbooks, 1 imac, 2 appletvs, 2 iphones, 1 ipod... I find disappointment with apple reliability....
At least the support guys at Optimus Portugal were very helpful and friendly, but I'll be 15 days without iPhone...

IPhone doesn't recognize my SIM Card after update to iOS 5.1

I updated my iOS to 5.1 yesterday and after that my iPhone doesn't recognize my SIM Card. What has happened to my iPhone?

It was probably jailbroken or hacked to unlock it. If that's the case it is now bricked. You may be able to find an answer on Google, but you cannot get help here.

How can I get my iPhone 3GS to recognize my AT&T SIM card after upgrade to iOS 5.1?

I upgraded my previously-unlocked iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1 today, from iOS 4. I hadn't upgraded the OS in awhile (since the phone was unlocked before a trip overseas).
iTunes says: "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone." I tried taking out and reinserting the SIM card, but that didn't help. It seems that I cannot restore to factory settings now, since iTunes doesn't think my phone has a SIM card and so won't connect to my phone at all.
I realize now that I should have restored to factory settings before upgrading, but given that I did not, how can I fix this retroactively?
Help?!
Thanks!

I did.
I've connected to the M-Cell for a few minutes once. It dropped the one call I tried to make, and my phone hasn't reconnectted since. My roommate has the same phone. We have the same thing happening.

Can not turn on wifi after upgrade to iOS 7, Can not turn on wifi after upgrade to iOS 7

I can not turn on my wifi after the upgrade. Help

Have the same problem. When I turn off the devices with ios 7, my Apple devices that do not have ios 7 work fine. I do not think it is the phone or device that is the problem so do not understand why people are being told to get a new device.

Hello, i can not activate my device after upgrading to ios 7.0

NOW IT 5 DAYS TODAY,I HAVE UPDAT THE SOFTWARE TO IOS7.0.3, NOW I CAN NOT ACTIVATE MY PHONE WITH THE SAME USER NAME, WHICH I USED IN PAST.
PLEASE I WOULD BE THANKFUL FOR THE HELP.

What is the exact wording of the error message you receive?
Has your iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
than the original wireless provider?
Were you running one of the beta versions of iOS 7?

Then the SIM may have failed. Try removing and re-inserting it. If that doesn't fix it, you will have to get the SIM replaced by your carrier.

BlackBerry Z10 Second can't detect Sim card

Hi All
I just bought a Blackberry Z10, secondhand from people I met from Internet
The Blackberry is still kinda new, used only for a month. And I got it pretty much cheaper
But the problem is, this Z10 can't detect sim card (yes the previous owner been telling about this before. She said its happened after she's upgrading the software)
So, I bought it, and re-installed the software (10,2 - 10,3 - even back to 10,1) still not working.
I'm trying to search the similar issues on Google, and found that it possibly because the simcard reader is broken
I check the simcard reader, I'm not really sure, but yes, seems there one pins missing on there. I saw only 3 pins on my Z10 simcard reader. Haven't seen any other Z10. Would you mind to check your Z10? How many pins on there?
And also, does the warranty will cover this issues if I claim it? I mean, it seems because human-error (previous owner might put the sim card not really carefully).
If not, how much it cost to fix it and change the simcard reader part? Well think I'm not gonna gambling anymore to buy a cheap gadget in the hope I can't fix it by myself
Thank you for help!

Hi Aliarroughi
Z10 I have a 3 sim card reader. there seems to be damage to your z10 sim card reader. try to correct the sim card reader price only $ 25

Please turn off your cpas lock.
All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to read ( especially when you use no punctuation or sentence structure at all). Many will not read such posts.
Do as the manual says to do and restore the iphone.

Can not detect wireless card

WRE54G / Win XP SR2
My laptop and PDA can connect to the network wirelessly with no problems.
Trying to connect my WRE54G to my network. On every attempt at AutoConfigure nothing happens. Have disabled router security and 'SPI Firewall' (whatever that is). Still nothing. Have disabled router security and 'SPI Firewall' (whatever that is), and McAfee Firewall. Still nothing. I have moved the WRE54G to within ~4 feet of the router and tried everything again. Still nothing.
I have tried Setup but when I hit 'Next' I get the popup "Can not detect wireless card."
Have tried a reset and have unplugged/replugged the WRE54G. FWIW, the WRE54G 'Link' light blinks blue once for about a second and turns a constant red. The 'Activity' light blinks blue twice quickly about every 5 seconds. Nothing on my PC shows any response.
What is the wireless card that can't be found? The WRE54G?
How do I resolve this?

this worked for me too. Although I was never able to use the cisco install wizard successfully. I am using WEP security on my access point. I took the following steps.
1. From laptop, connect to network wirelessly with WEP security settings in place
2. From laptop, open browser, go to: 192.168.1.1, select wireless security, disable wireless security
3. From Range Extender, hold auto-configure button. It took me multiple attempts (~5) and it connected so the 'Link' light changed from red to a consistent blue.
4. From laptop, disable security for the access point (via control panel, wireless network connection settings)
5. From laptop, connect to wireless access point (via control panel, wireless network connection settings). test internet connection. Internet should work.
6. From laptop, access range extender web utility. open browser, got to 192.168.1.240, enable security, input desired WEP security settings/passphrase.
7. From laptop, enable wireless security for the access point. from browser, go to 192.168.1.1, select wireless security and enable it. use the same settings from step 6 (from the range extender).
8. From laptop, update wireless adapter settings to connect using the same security settings (eg. passphrase) from step 6/7.
range extender, access point and wireless adapter/laptop should all be connected.

Can not find sim card

I already insert Sim card but iPad can not find Sim card and show non Sim card

Restart the Ipad. I have done that when I first put it in and that solved it. I held the home and power button at the same time to restart though. Also make sure the sim is in the right way.
