I've looked around for similar thread(s) but found nothing. I recently followed the instructions on this website-> "teambamf.net/index.php/topic/3528-guide-to-install-ics-ruu-and-firmware-windows/" and got the phone started up. Unfortunately since I'm not Verizon (T-mobile USA) I've been stuck at the "Activating" screen for hours now and it keeps saying "SIM card from unknown source". Any help to fix either (if not both of these problems) will be greatly appreciated.
P.S - tried rebooting several times and still stuck at the Activation screen after SIM from unknown source.
did you try to boot the phone up first without sim card? The phone by default is locked to cdma and you would have to manually change to gsm in order for it to work.
Try to boot up without SIM (and also any SD card. I had issue that my sd card has a rom in it and it won't let me to get any network data, so I had to erase the SD card and it work. So start without the sd card). Then setup the phone. Once it's setup, change the network to GSM and then shut down and put hte sim. See if this works.
I would suggest check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421341
also, is your sim already activated? I am not too sure if you can use rezound ot activate any sim. if it is not activate, try to activate with a diff phone first and then put in the rezound afterwards.

If you have Verizon and a Verizon branded phone and are getting this message, you need to contact customer support.

Have you tried this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355
Otherwise, the Business Sense ROM is based on stock, and this will happen on all stock ROMs, but it should not effect actually using the device... It would be best to move to a CM or AOSP based ROM.

Hello,
I just flashed my Rezound (S-Off, HBoot) to the AOKP-Neo1.5-Linaro ROM. Everything works well, but the SIM card is not recognized. I mean that I'm not asked any PIN code when booting my phone, nor later. In consequence, there is no service. In Settings->Security, I can see a field "SIM card PIN" but it is grey, I can't modify it. Sooo... I'm stuck, unless someone knows a way to manually activate a SIM card or something ?
Thank you in advance !
If it works in other ROMs, then you may have a bad sim. Most Verizon reps will replace that for free.

Yes, the SIM card works well with other ROMs and other phones. It is only in this ROM, so I thought the cause would be it...
I flashed a recent firmware (4.03.605.2, found on androidpolice). Back to stock Android+Sense, everything works great, and my SIM card works. For now I stay on it, but if I flash Linaro again, I will update here wether my SIM is recognized or not (who knows, it may interest someone in the future).

I think you better post to that forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1081
You will have more chances to have an answer.
However, after a few researchs, you can read that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906401&highlight=sim+card
Maybe it will help you.
On my side, as I said, I solve my problem by flashing a Stock (~Factory) update to my phone. It updated, among other things, the "radio driver", which is used by the sim card (it's not exactly that, but I prefer let it simple). So in the thread you will post on the first link I gave you, I advise you to mention your hboot and radio (=baseband) versions, that you can usually find in Settings->About phone->Software information (I guess it's not the same path on your tablet though). Also, always mention your Android version and as many details as you can provide when you ask for help.
Good luck !

When I first got the phone both slots worked. I've rooted the phone and installed some things and may have broke something. SIM2 works but the other slot is broken. I'm on tmobile too.
Feiteng GT-A7100 "Mobile Network Not Available"
Oh, gosh, I'm really stuck. Tried two SIM cards (redpocket/att and spot/t) and either works. Sim cards work with
dumber phones. Really like this phone (ie cool android hardware) other than it won't work as a phone.
I also have suspicion about the IMEI. Bought from everbuying.com. please email vjp2 panix com because I dialup and don't
have broadband. But I will try to get back to forum if someone replies. The Phone sees the SIM card (ie, knows name, and some addresses).
I don't know about all those extra setting with initials (some it has, others not).
But it says the SIM card is disconnected. Took it outside, closer to cel towers. Is it possible the sim cards are too cheap.
I only want talk. I've seen doc this phone is 4 bands, others say 2 bands

i have same problem
1) I noticed one of my sim slots (sim 1) was not detecting the sim card. Error message was something like "no sim card" which is different than "no service". In examining the sim slot, one of the gold pins in the slot was not making contact with the sim card. I took a small safety pin and bent the pin slightly up.
** NOTE ** be careful bending this pin up. If you use too much force, you can snap the pin off and then you would be totally screwed.
I then reinserted the sim card and the phone detected it since the pins were now making contact with the sim card.
2) Another thing I noticed is sometimes I get "no service" even though other times I would get 4 bars of signal strength at the same location. I went to settings and disabled the sim card. Waited about 10 seconds and then re-enabled my sim card. It then seemed to reconnect with the phone network.
My carrier is TMobile.

Hi All,
I have an HTC Desire 601 phone that won't connect to a network service. This phone is a side project I've been working on. I replaced the screen and digitizer (the screen was shattered). I also unlocked the phone with a SIM unlock code.
Now, no matter what SIM card I input, it won't connect to a network. I've checked that the IMEI number is not blacklisted (it is not). It registers a sim card is inserted, but won't connect to a network -> I receive the error "SIM card doesn't allow a connection to this network"...every once in a while I'll also get a random "ME returned a temporary error".
I've attempted manually and automatically connecting to a network, but to no avail. I've manually input APN's for different providers, but still nothing. I've basically tried everything that was offered on XDA for other phones with a similar problem but didn't get any positive results.
The phone was previously locked to virgin mobile. I have a couple of theories as to what could be wrong but I'm not sure (I'm newbie when it comes to cell ware and its software, I just like to take things apart and put them back together etc.). One theory is that the unlocking wasn't complete in some form; not sure how though, considering it no longer asks me to input an unlocking code when i insert a different SIM card (i used a Koodo sim card). The other theory I had was the antenna, which I've read is often located in the SIM card slot (or in this case the frame), is damaged (the phone fell and had a shattered screen).
I no longer have a warranty on the phone, so I can't just send it back to replace (plus I like solving problems). I like XDA forums because they helped me flash my ROM on my samsung (after it completed a faulty upgrade and was stuck on download mode). I was wondering if anyone knows what I could do, from a software perspective, or if I should look into finding antenna replacement? (I don't think the sim card reader is broken as it registers a sim card is in there)
PS. sorry for the essay message, I just wanted to provide as much detail as possible

Before investing in some hardware, did you tried a factory reset? Maybe flashing a RUU to set back your phone to 100% stock (this doesn't remove the sim-unlock) could help. If the problem persist after flashing a RUU then yes its probably an hardware problem, its hard to tell what exactly.

I've definitely tried a factory reset, but that didn't work. I haven't flashed the RUU. To be honest, I"m not sure what the RUU is. Is it related to the ROM (I've flashed the ROM on another phone)?

A RUU will restore the original firmware and software on your phone like if it was brand new. If the problem persist after flashing a ruu, its most likely an hardware problem. I have posted a few RUU in the general section, maybe there is one that fit on your phone. Check link in my signature.

This is already explained in the "important notes" section of that thread...
my phone HTC Desire 601 with IMEI : 990004284248766 has no Mobile Network or Network mode icon. How could I do?
I just got a Galaxy Light for free that I am setting up for a friend, and right after I got it, I flashed it to TWRP, and put in Tiger Lily, then went to CM12. When I popped in her sim (ATT) It didn't do anything, and as far as teh phone was concerned, no sim card existed. I couldn't get into mobile network settings due to the "insert sim card to access network settings" error, except on CM12, where I got the "User does not have permissions to edit APN" message. I did eventually get a few codes to work and got to the basic service menu, where I could verify it was reading a radio. I have tried Tiger Lily, 2 different CM12 builds, and Stock 4.4.2, and it doesn't seem to read the Sim at all. Also, all builds except stock give a blank IMEI when I check it with *#06#. I am thinking it is unlocked, as i don't get a code request, and I swear it was on Boost when I got it, though it could just not be reading the sim. I tried a few other older Sim's, with the same issue, though I don't know if any were tmobile or metro variants.
I am downloading the 4.2.2 firmware now, to retry regionlockaway with the older modem, but, looking to see if anyone has any input on this. Any way to see if it is unlocked or not? I don't want to buy an unlock code if it is already unlocked, plus I can't get to any of the unlock screens.
Most of what I read is so old, that it doesn't apply, so updated info would be awesome. Thanks!

After downgrading to 4.4.2 (T399NUVUANK3_CL2903595_QB2893704_REV00) I did get the sim unlock prompt again. If anyone knows of any software unlocks, would love to know them, else gonna buty an unlock code if I can get a recommendation. Thanks!
For anyone needing the SGH-T399N stock firmware for the Metro edition, here is a link, as it was hard to find. I kept getting T-mobile versions, which will lock you at the boot logo.

Hi, I tried to delete my post since I thought I already had my answer.
But anyway, I bought the phone unlocked with Lineage already installed.
And it worked great for a week with my SIM card from my OEM AT&T S4 phone that developed problems.
Then the Linage phone lost Network access, so no internet or email etc unless connected to WiFi.
But even though it "shows" Access to the AT&T Network, phone still only has phone calls and text access.
I called AT&T and their Tech tried to fix the Network connection .. but failed.
Then, according to them, my SIM card is not compatible with my phone and sending me a new SIM card that "should" be compatible.
My thoughts are why it was working fine with my SIM for a week, but now it's not.
And if I activate the New SIM and that doesn't help, my Original one will have been de-activated.
UPDATE:
Received new SIM card and after activating it, still no Network access when not on WiFi.
Then spent hours with Tech support while they accessed the phone trying to get Network access when not on WiFi.
They put a Ticket in and get back to me if they find a way to fix it.
So after all that, I put the new SIM back in the Original Phone with Touch wiz problems and everything works even though Touch wiz is still messed up.
Not sure what changed with the Lineage os phone, if anything, or if it has something to do with the Lineage os itself.
Thanks in advance for any info.
