Hi All,
I have a Galaxy SII, which I rooted and flashed with ICScrewD ♦♦♦♦Homemade Ice Cream
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375255
It worked fine for a couple of days, now all of a sudden I am not getting any signal on my phone, and instead of the signal bars I am getting the no network symbol. I tried different modems, different ROMs, doesn't seem to work. I even went back to the stock, but no luck.
When I went to the wifi & network settings and tried to click on the network settings it says "insert sim card" even though the sim is already in there. I tried my sim on a different phone, it works fine. So i am guessing its not At&t's fault.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
When you re-inserted your sim card back in your GS2, what happened? Is it an old sim and are the contacts worn and scratched?
The contacts are just fine. Even when i reinsert it nothing happens, I still get the no network symbol. It is basically behaving like no sim is inserted.
Well it sounds like a trip to an AT&T store might be in your future to test another SIM card. Hopefully that's all it is. Wifi radio works fine?
Try reflashing back to stock?
The wifi works just fine, and i tried flashing it back to stock, did a factory reset also, but nothing seems to work.
I have not dropped my phone even once, so that rules out the physical damage.
Well not sure this will help *fix* the issue, but might provide a bit more insight into what exactly the phone is and isn't seeing. If you download Elixir 2, linked below, and run a report and send it to yourself via email, look in the Telephony section of the report and see if the phone even sees the SIM card. Obviously it sounds like it doesn't, but if it gives you your SIM serial info in there, you might be able to rule out an issue with the actual card itself, etc.

Nope, it says sim state is unknown, I guess i will have to go to the At&t store then.
Thanks anyways.
I have been getting no sim card errors on my note. I verified its not the sim card because when I put it in another phone it worked. I have also replaced the sim card reader in the note and returned to to stock. Still nothing and Im just wondering if anyone else has seen this issue and should I just send to Samsung for a warranty repair.
I have unlocked my i717 phone, sim card read fine on Family Mobile service powered by T-Mobile. Then rooted phone using Odin. removed apps I didnt like. after removing Kies air and a few other AT&T apps. I got the alert at the top area no sim | emergency calls only I turned phone off then back on same issue. I return phone to factory setting another issue also didnt use odin to unroot. however I did download full ICS file and used odin to unroot then wiped clean to factory setting. The issues with sim card not reading still remains. I do have another i717 and check with hardware change of sim card reader as well as checked sim card its self in another phone and it works fine.
check with local phone tech guy he said I might have an issue with IMEI change when doing the first root? he also told me to come here for help.
How can I check if this has happened?
How can I change it back?
How can I change it to work with my Family Mobile service powered by T-Mobile?
Thanks

Seldom an IMEI issue. It's typically fixed by replacing the sim holder/reader. Before you do that I would swap the readers and see how each behaves in a different phone. If the culprit reader does not work, $10 on eBay or so. Utube for video instruction-it's ez peasy. Lastly unless you really have to avoid removing and re-inserting the sim card. something about that makes my device nuts.

I have tried the swap of the current Sim readers assembly with another Sim reader I have. and both Sim readers assembly are reading great on another test phone. Being that the hardware cross testing is showing that the Sim card and Sim card reader are in fact working and not the issue. This has lead me to do more research on the IMEI issues along with a possible missing EFS/bin files?? I didnt backup my phone EFS/bin files before unlocking which can cause the issue with the Sim card reading I am having...? still not sure tho..
I have learned that the IMEI hasn't been changed like I had thought tho..its the numbers after the / in the IMEI are just software revision numbers to reflect the software version.
Does anyone have any ideas where I can get the missing EFA / bin files > nv.log > nv_data.bin > nv_data.bin.md5
HI GUYS, Im having an issue with my phone(HTC dna) that is getting beyond frustrating. I got the phone like a month ago off of something it worked fine for the first week..then one day randomly stopped reading my sim card.. Im not a total dummy so ive done and ruled out the obvious , my firmware was verison 4.09.605.4 I just updated it to the current one. 4.09.605.8 so i ruled out firmware being an issue. i then went to amazon and bought the new board were the sim card attaches and the audio jack attaches i just installed that yesterday and still nothing!!. I even bought a new up sim card tray still no.. when the sim card TRAY isnt installed i get a message when about a im card not detected ,ect. when i push the tray in that message goes away which indicates it is trying to read...but in the corner you see a sim card with x through it which means no sim card..I've replaced my sim card 3 times just to rule out that but my sim card works in my other phone just not this one.. When i first got this phone a month ago it worked fine!! no troubles.. Im on the ATT go plan..i put my sim in and nothing..but now it just doesnt work..ive tried hooking my phone to my computer and opening htc sync manager and tried doing the repair and nothing ive litterally tried and ruled out most of the obvious, Is this a known problem with these phones? Can anyone please!! help me with a solution i want this phone so badly..i love this phone!!..ill be waiting for replies..hopefully someone can drop knowledge to me! thank you!
I switched over to straight talk and had the same thing happen for awhile. Changed the tray and still didn't work. What ended up straightening it out for me was either resetting the apn settings or the new sim card i got. After I did those things it worked fine.
Hi,
Ive had a GS3 I9300 phone for some time. Had various roms on it over time. Rarely been stock for more that a day or so. Last year had the dreaded no sim card error after a rom upgrade. No matter what I did the sim would not be recognised by the phone.
I read as many threads and followed all the various solutions but nothing worked. I was not a software issue I finally concluded.
I did a search on replacing the SIM and SD Card Holder for the phone. Found a part for $4.50, replaced the part and Bingo! The SIM card was recognised and now works flawlessly. The SIM CARD slot had been damaged somehow. So just wanted to let people know that sometimes it is actually a hardware issue. So glad I've finally solved the issue - i have a spare phone again.
Cheers
Paul
