i've been working on this Galaxy Note for about a week now. it is an AT&T i717 and it is unlocked. It worked before when my sister used it with t-mobile but now whenever I put my sim in it says "NO SIM/Emergency Calls Only". I've tried everything I know of: restoring it back to Stock 2.3.6 with Odin, restoring it to 4.0.3 with Odin, factory resets, wiping cache, wiping dalvik cache, formatting all of the data, flashing different modems, flashing at&t stock kernel, flashing at&t stock radio. out of all of this none of it has worked. I would think there was something wrong with the sim tray/contact but it worked fine a little over week ago. there is no problem with the imei or baseband, both show up regularly. I'm pretty much out of ideas so any new ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
its a known issue for very few here.. just do a search.. you will find the thread(s).
havent read if they have found a solution before but last time i read the only fix was when somebody sent it in for a fix

I've done a lot of digging around here and I haven't found anything that's worked.
Also, my sim works completely fine in my GS2 so there's nothing wrong with the sim.

which radio did you flash? I've tried the Blaze radio and of course the stock at&t but I'll try the other ones. And which ROM would you recommend?
and thank you so much, I've been working on this phone for a while and it's been kinda stressful lol.
OP, I had the same issue, once I flashed any radio, my sim would not be recognized. I tried everything and it seems the only thing that worked was to flash original GB AT&T stock rom using odin and basically unrooting it. as factory as it could get. Then from there, root it. then upgrade to any rom. Make sure everything works before before flashing another radio. before you do so, do a nandroid to save you hassle.

Does it work with your sisters sim?

Hi. I just Odin'ed back to stock firmware after experiencing no 4G data, only Edge, after flashing the Tmobile recovery through Rom Manager while on CM9 nightly #2. I had wiped and reflashed CM9, with no luck. I thought Odin'ing would fix the problem but it did not. I also tried removing the SIM card for a couple of minutes. Anyone have any suggestions what i could try? Thanks
Update: So far flashing CWM recovery using Rom Manager has set the IMEI to 0, on mine and MacTheRipperr's phone.
Anyone else with similar issues after flashing recovery through Rom Mananger?

Are you sure it wasn't a Tmobile problem? Maybe you should try other kernels and/or roms... I'm using AOKP on my Galaxy S since february and on my Galaxy SIII since June 19th, I haven't experienced any problems with mobile data, the link is below.
I hope it works.

Check your imei under the phone status. Do you have a 0? If so the same thing happened to me.
Do you have a back up of your /efs from the root?

Thank you for your response. I'm 99% sure it's not a Tmobile problem. I didn't have any issues with mobile data at all. This happend soon after i rebooted after flashing the tmobile Rom Manager custom recovery. First thing it did was give no signal connection at all. Then i reflashed the CM9 rom, which then was only able to get Edge network. Even after Odin'ing do i still only get Edge. I haven't tried a custom kernel yet. With certain devices, I've known of issues with modem's are sometimes fixed by flashing a standalone modem rather than going through the whole Odin process. But that isn't an option that is available for the T999 varient.

Yes it reads 0 and no i do not have an /efs backup. The root process I used was the Sprint root zip file flashing CWM and root using Odin. I wasn't aware of a backup that was made. After Odin'ing back to stock, i did the same root method and have flashed Redrum Lean Stock Mod which im currently on. Where would i find the /efs if this method did make a backup of it?
Question for curiosity s sake did you flask the cwm touch recovery
You should backup your EFS folder before flashing any rom, if you'd lost your IMEI you will have problems with mobile data and/or phone service.
I've found two topics about it here, the first one has a link to recover Tmobile and the second is more general. I hope it works!

You guys are freaking me out about losing IMEI. Thankfully mine is fine after rooted and flashing several ROMs.
How do I backup my EFS folder?
/sigh re-read all the imei threads, there's like 10 of them. Backing up the efs folder will not help you at all. The nv data.bin file is not there anymore and nobody has found it yet. Your only option is odin back to stock, take your phone back to where you bought it, and say this POS broke and i can't get lte even though i paid for it. If you're still under warranty hopefully they will replace it.
Everything has been running smoothly on my T-Mobile Vibrant until suddenly I lost my data connection (nothing was changed on my end). I am able to get a 2G connection by checking the "Use only 2G Networks" box, but when it is unchecked I get no data.
I pulled the SIM card and put in another phone and that phone did get a good 3G signal.
I flashed a new ROM - I am now using Slim Bean 2.6.0 with the KA7 modem. I replaced the SIM card with a new one. Still just 2G and only when that box is checked.
I'm stumped.
Is that the same modem you were using before?

No, before I was using KB5

You'll find the KB5 modem there if you want it back. Flash it in CWM.
Is data enabled? Dumb question, but it can solve all of your issues. Also, make sure you have APNS.

Sorry, I meant that I was using the KB5 modem before I switched to the KA7, however I don't get 3G with either one. The modem change, ROM change, and new SIM card were all things I've tried to fix the problem.
My data is enabled and I double checked the APN. Sigh... may be the end of a good run for this phone.

Yes, it does.
Well like stated above, the next step I would take would be to go ahead and Odin to stock. Reroot with update.zip and flash a ROM.
I recommend trying Paranoid Android. It runs very well. I would imagine whatever is amiss will get resolved.

After rooting my phone I flashed a few roms and not being happy with them, I decided to flash back to stock. I downloaded a stock rom (from the faq.
Everything seems to be working except I cannot connect to 4G. Where I life has 4g and befor I started flashing it I had no issues connecting to the network. I am able to use 3G, texting and am able to make calls.
Any Ideas?

1. I rooted the phone following these directions. However I did not make a back up (have rooted several phones before and never needed it.)
2.i flashed CM10 and it's boot.img to the phone. (cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-fireball-M2.zip). I got the rom from the CM site.
At this point 4g was still working. However I was unable to send pictures via SMS.
3. A friend of mine who says he knows about phones susgested that I call *228 and update roaming (option 2 when called).
I did and 4G stopped working. This also did not fix the picture problem.
4. I flashed viperLTE and its boot.img to my phone. Picture texting worked but still no 4g.
5. I flashed this stock rom and boot.ing to the phone.
Still no 4g.
Between each flash I wiped the cache, d. cache, system and factory reset.
I think that is everything. If I think of anything else I ill edit this post.
Thank you everyone,

Calling *228 from a 4G phone with a sim card can fry the sim card and it sounds like that could be what happened here.

look in settings and see what your preferred network is set at and in about phone to see if it says lte13, as far as cm10.1 -- when your mms didn't work all you had to do was was dalvic cache in recovery and mms would have worked. read the op in development for cm10 releases for the work arounds on some bugs it's all there
you may have borked your radio don't know, theres direction there to do that to(repair radio)

You may need to run the ruu package to get your radio working again. The stock and cm10 rils can sometimes get screwed up flashing between the 2. You can find the ruu on unlimited's site. Which can be found in the s off thread in development.

Your friend does not know about phones. Consider ignoring his future advice. Post 2 of the CyanogenMod thread is likely relevant to you. Did you bother reading the whole first post as is clearly noted?

Calling *228 will not "fry" the SIM card in this phone, but does not serve any purpose for phones with SIM cards.

Please don't unnecessarily recommend running the RUU. In fact if the radio did stop functioning from using CM, the RUU has nothing to do with the recovery process. It's the factory reset feature which restores the correct settings in the radio's NV memory.
I was able to get another sim (attached to a different account) and it gave me 4G. I called Verizon and they refreshed something and that seems to have fixed it. They are sending me a new sim card anyway.
Thanks for the help.

You're right, I misspoke. I was under the impression that a file from the ruu was needed to return to stock ril. Sorry about the confusion.

Running into a little hick-up with my DNA. Never seen anything like this so I'm stumped. After flashing M7 Digital Dreams V1.1, I installed the sim card from my galaxy note 2 and the phone says it's an invalid sim card. I put the card back into the Note 2 and it works fine. I then tried the sim in another friends GS3 and it worked in that phone. Not sure what's up. I tried re-wiping the phone (full wipe) and re-installing the rom. No Luck. Also tried Zone DNA rom and I get the same message. Is there something I need to flash to recognize the sim card?
Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated!!

I had one that did that, had it replaced. Nothing done to it would get the calling and data back. The replacement is about to get replaced, it starts ringing on it's own, even has it's own ringtone. Cute trick.

RUU is new to me. What exactly is that? I was thinking about trying to go back to stock but wasn't sure if it was necessary. Is there a thread that shows how to RUU back to stock? Sounds like I may have to go back to stock anyhow so I can return the phone......

I'm having a somewhat similar problem, but not to your extent. I've flashed the same ROM you mention above and when leaving a Wifi connection to 4G (like when I leave my house and get in the car), my sim card gives an error. I get it back to working properly by rebooting, but it's a pain.
This occurs for me on other Sense 5 ROMS too.
Well I just got off the phone with vzw customer service and they are sending out a new phone. According to the rep, the latest update that rolled out on 4/15 was supposed to address this sim card issue. Specifically the "PUK locked" message, which is what I was getting when I flashed back to the latest stock ROM.
So I reset my data with TWRP I was on CM10.2 I have now falshed stock RUU and updated to the latest firmware and still nothing my T-mobile SIM card works fine and I have no problems with it only with Verizon SIM card any help would greatly be appreciated
Also just tried my sim in my wife's dna and it works great but her sim in my dna produces the same problem of data but no voice or text I am now completely stock s-on in preparation for warranty work because its still not doing anything does anybody have any ideas?
