S3 won't detect SIM card [Solved] - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys! My phone was working fine until yesterday. I wanted to try out some new ROMs so I rooted my phone.
Since I have rooted it, no ROM has been able to detect my SIM. I first thought it was a SIM problem - but its working fine on my HTC Desire and old Nokia phone. I even reverted back to the backed up stock ROM, unrooted it and did a factory reset. Still nothing.
(So far I have tried the super nexus rom, slim JB, LiquidSmooth JB and the stock samsung JB)
Any suggestions? Or will I have to replace the piece?
Cheers!
(FYI: I stay in India and my phone is GT-I9300)

[Q] I9100T: firmwared the stock I9100 JB test ROM and broke it

Hi,
In my ignorance I loaded on the i9100 rom from Samfirmware XXLSJ, and it loaded ok. However the modem doesn't work. The symptoms are: connects ok to 3g network, however will not txt/make phone calls, the phone reports "not registered on network"
So, I tried flashing the XXLSJ JB again, this time with another modem, one that is supposed to be for the T variant, I'm in New Zealand by the way and use Telecom. Same deal.
No problem i thought, ill simply go back to an earlier official Telecom version on ICS. However, this now hangs on boot up on the S logo.I went back to an earlier one, that one also hangs. I went back to Gingerbread, that hangs on start up also on the S logo too.
So some questions:
Can i run jellybean and use some new modem?
If not, can i put it back to original 4.0.3 official firmware without it hanging?
I'm using Odin 3.07 to do the flashing.
Thanks in advance, i'll just be happy with a working phone at this stage :silly:

Sorted, ran the old firmware back on from Telecom, went into recovery mode and did a factory reset. all seems better.

[Q] HOX+ WiFi/SIM/Bluetooth Error

Hi Guys,
I desperately need help, i have a new HTC One X+ bought online from Hong Kong, I unlocked the bootloader through HTCDev and then tried to root the device using RootBootV5, this was all with the stock rom installed.
All of a sudden my sim, bluetooth and wifi will not work, when I say wont work I mean the phone looks like it has no sim inserted, and the bluetooth and wifi wont even switch on.
I tried wiping the rom with CWM and installing AOSP ROM, the rom installed fine but the problem persists.
Do I need to re-flash the radios or something?
Please can someone help me!!

I had the same problem on my first go. What I did was re-locking the bootloader and then reflash the original firmware (from desktop). All worked fine again. Then I unlocked again and rooted (also via rootbootv5). Maybe it would have been enough just to flashboot a propoer boot.img and any of the fine stock-derivative roms... However, I do not advise to use CWM. I had odd results with that (including failing nandroid). Since I use TWRP as recovery, all is just fine...
Mmm was thinking of doing that but I couldn't find the original RUU anywhere on the net, any ideas?

Need help please!

Hi everyone. I'm having some serious (or at least I think so) problems with my I777. I live in Colombia, and I bought it over two years ago, had it shipped over by a friend, unlocked. Up until today I'd been using it normally, without any major problems.
However, the last couple of days it started behaving strangely, (turning itself off every once in a while, losing data, etc), so I decided to update my rom today.
I tried to install a new CyanogenMod 4.4 from this site, but I got some kind of status 7 error and it didn't behave properly after that.
Next thing I did to try to fix it was flash a stock JB 4.1.2 rom via Odin.
It worked, but that's when the major problem struck... Apparently my phone got locked for AT&T again or something. It's not recognizing my sim-card anymore. It shows the "no-sim" notification on the top bar, yet it also shows it has a signal (no data, just phone signal), even when my sim-card isn't inserted. When I go in the settings to try to access the mobile networks it says insert sim card even when it's in there.
I did a lot of searching and I used GalaxSimUnlock, which I got from this site too, and it confirms my phone is unlocked.
So basically... What the heck happened?? Is it possible that after three years of using it perfectly with my Colombian sim, the AT&T lock just "came back" or something after flashing a stock rom?
Any clue guys?
If you used galaxsimunlock the unlock is permanent.

After you flashed back to stock, did you try to root again and flash another custom ROM?
I could be wrong on this, but the AT&T stock firmware may not be giving you the choice to register the SIM or change the APN settings for you particular network. I can't confirm this though as I never flash to stock long enough to actually use it. I always root and go back to something else immediately afterwards.
The only suggestion I have is to go back to a custom ROM and try again.
If you are trying to go to KitKat, be sure you have the newest compatible recovery (CWM or TWRP) as the versions of those that work with JB will not allow you to flash a KitKat ROM. There are plenty of threads that will tell you what versions you need. If it's an SGH-i777 model then all you should need to get the proper recovery is to flash one of the two KK compatible kernels as the recovery is packaged with them.
Good luck!

No Cellular on Custom ROM

I had my s2 hard bricked and now i got a new motherboard for it, the thing is that on all stock roms (2.3 and 4.1.2) the phone works perfectly but all the custom roms 4.4 5.0 6.0 the cellular does not work, it gives me no service, tried flashing modem from cwm but no change.
i also tried different recoveries etc but custom rom no service
sometimes in custom rom imei used to be blank but it comes back after reboot, in stock no issues at all
any idea what im doing wrong or is there something up with the new board?
thanks,
Update
I was searching and I read somewhere that installing NeatROM by Sale will help, i downloaded and installed it, the good news is that cellular works and i have full 3G access.
Question: How to proceed further?
i could experiment but the thing is that if i flash a non-working rom (no cellular), i will have to flash stock from odin and start all over again
any ideas?
Update 2
i tried NeatROM and it worked perfectly, then i tried installing slimLP and boom, no service again, this time,my IMEI was blank too, so now i'm flashing stockrom again.
any idea anyone please?
