Have you tried anything to correct this yet? Are you rooted and on a custom ROM or running stock and if so which version? You might try using KIES and going through the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" in TOOLS. You will need to get the phone's serial number from under the battery to do that. Also, put the Model number in CAPS. Good luck.

Dear readers, i just got a Samsung Captivate Galaxy S I9000, here is the problem.
1) It is locked to Rogers Wireless, because my friend tested it by inserting his Rogers SIM card into it and it works normally like a phone.
Here is where it gets interesting:
2) When i insert another foreign SIM card such as FIDO cell carrier. The phone boots into the lock screen and it says Media Scanning...and then it proceeds to the booting up screen again.
From my lack of skills in Android software, i am really stuck. But from the powers of observation, it seems the phone was flashed and is currently running a custom ROM on it from Serendipity VII.
The phone runs perfectly, without a sim card, but that's like holind a tablet without a phone line...=(
I have not done anything to it but have been reading forums after forums and it seems that mine is a rare case maybe? Please help for those who are Captivate users or are experts. What should i do?
I would really really appreciate if someone could guide me in a step by step detailed manner to fix the Captivate loop. I am at the moment looking for sources and contacts to help me remove the network lock on the phone.
Until then, if anyone has any good ideas, workable ones and hopeful ones, i would appreciate that very much please =)
Here are some details on the phone's systems.
-Firmware version 2.3.3
-Model Number:I897 ????(Why does the boot screen show I9000?,custom Rom?)
-Build number: Serendipity VII Build 2
Please help, any advice, guidance and solutions are greatly appreciated.

First I would like to say that if yours is a Rogers' Captivate then the model number is I896. Secondly the phone has 2 boot screens and a boot animation before you get into the phone. The first one is called upon by the primary bootloader and can be changed with some work. The second one which is probably the one showing the I9000 model number for you is called upon by the kernel and thus is only changeable by decompiling the kernel and replacing it.
As for your problem, not really sure why your SIM would cause your phone to reboot unless there's something wrong with it. Have you tried other non-Rogers SIM cards to see if they make your phone reboot?
Thank you for your response. I have tried other sim cards except rogers. It seems fhat non rogers sim catds do not work for the device. Any solutions or suggestions?

They just do not work or make your phone go into the reboot loop?

I do have the exact same problem with my i9001, when using any SIM, it shows the network provider in the lock screen, I get no signal and after 3 seconds it just reboots and is is a rebooting loop,
When I take out the SIM card, the phone operates normally
Hi there, I have purchased my tab last friday, played around with it during the weekend (root, overclock, etc.) Everything was fine - internet connection via 3G and WiFi, battery life and so on. However after I swithed off my tab on sunday evening and left it on charger, monday morning I realised that galaxy tab 10.1 does not recognise any SIM cards. The device itself is unlocked here, in Lithuania.
Any ideas what might have caused this strange behaviour? Everything else is working fine.
Hi!
I have the same problem, started about a week ago. SIM-card just looses connection at random times. Mostly when i've just left it in the charger for an hour or two.
A reboot is needed then it's working as normal.
What do you think? Should i return it?
Did you try and setup the APN manually?

Obviously...
The thing is that device itself does not recognise SIM card. Once You try to configure APN manually, it sais "please insert SIM card" :-(
and reboot doesnot help...
I have this issue too! I thought i was the only one experiencing this.
I have this problem 1 time, but i tried to switch sim with the one in my phone and it worked. Afther i switched back again and still working.
I got the problem afther my tab have been switch off for 5 days.

Well, after I left device in one of authorised dealers, they acknowledged the problem and offered to replace this Tab. So it turns out, one can only hope, that it does not happen to him...
Hi guys
Turns out all my problems were caused by overclock kernel. Today my tab was replaced so first thing I did was root it again and make a back up. Then I installed OC zip file from SD card via CWM recovery. Guess what? Device did not recognise SIM card again... luckily I had a back up ROM. After I went back to the original ROM everything was OK.
So be careful before over locking your tabs.

my 10.1 tablet says please insert sim card after i have inserted the sim card is it possible..i bought it in hong kong and now am in africa...its kh5
my friends is kg7 and it works fine cud it b a software issue or hardware
same problem just happened to me.
is there any solution found?
sim is ok on my htc desire but tab 10.1 cant detect it.
it has stop suddenly while browsing some news sites.
reboot does not help
i tried with another SIM also, same problem - cant detect SIM card at all,
when trying to open Mobile Network it says - Please insert SIM Card or something simllar.
Also i found that in About Phone - Status, IMEI and IMEI SV are Unknown, Serial is OK, is this normal?
Look I know this is a dumb question, but have you rebooting the tab after inserting the Sim? A client of mine had the same issue and we struggled for days until we realized we hasn't tried that. Sure enough that was the issue.
I think the tab only tries to access the Sim card on bootup.
Sorry if you have already tried this.

galaxy 10.1 does not recognise sim card
hi all
im also facing the same problem, sent to service to fix this issue
thought everthing will be alright after 2 weeks of waiting,1 days after the service, face the same problem, it works fine on the day 1, i turned off the device and charged the device and when i turn on the same problem
sin not recognized on galaxy tab 10.1
I have the same problem. Tab says "plz insert sim card. I have already inserted sim card
Same issue here .. I picked up the tab on a business trip in India and it worked fine while I was in India . I came back to UK and tried a UK SIM and it does not recognize a Vodafone Sim , Giff Gaff but recognizes 3 . Even though it recognizes 3 it does not let it register on network.
Not really sure what the issue is .. Is it restricted in some way .. ?
I recently bought a used Galaxy Note 2 from someone (via craigslist). The phone is in perfect condition externally, looks brand new. It has stock Android 4.1.2. When I picked it up I tested it out and everything worked great, however the area we were in didn't have 4g so I couldn't test that. Got home and switched my Sim card from my old galaxy nexus to the note 2 and it won't connect to 4G at all. It gets 4 bars of 3G, wifi works fine, making calls works fine. Moved the sim back to the galaxy nexus and 4G comes right up.
I called verizon tech support and the guy I spoke with tried to do some kind of update that involved rebooting the phone but that did not fix the problem. He said the only other thing to try is a new sim card, so one is in the mail. If the new sim doesn't work he says it's a device issue. I'm having trouble believing that the sim could be the problem since it works fine in my nexus.
FYI I've tried setting the network mode to both Global and LTE/CDMA.
Is there anything else I can try? Thanks in advance.
The only other thing to try with it is to flash root66 with the NAND Erase box checked in Odin to see if there is something still left on the phone causing this.

You could try the hidden settings. Force lte. Let me see if I can find a link.
If you play with the hidden settings though, be careful, and remember everything you do in there.

What is qcn and what might be the reason my phone got blacklisted?
Same thing happened to me two weeks ago. Phone would only connect to the network after a full reset. I'd reinstall my apps, reboot and it would not reconnect to the cellular network. Switched to my backup phone (Nexus 5) for 3 days... After that switched the SIM back to the V10, reset the phone again and it has been working fine since.
Weird!
i have same problem, and till now my problem not solved. help!!

I also have this problem. It's happened on two phones. Would be curious if anyone else was using the ROM from Andy Zhang? http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/rom-v10-development-forum-t3461890
I never had that issue until using that ROM (which is great in all other respects). Maybe it's a coincidence..
yeah my old v10 sim slot got killed as soon as I tried Andys Rom too. Phone works fine, just cant figure out how to get the sim card slot back. All my sim cards work fine on other devices.
I am having a terrible LG week with these darn devices..
With Andys Rom you'll need to change a few things in build.prop and add a tmo apn. IIRC
I bought LG v10 imported unlocked from ebay, the phone working fine just week and now showing "No Service", i tried factory reset as well as hard reset, also tried #*#*4636#*#* but its showing "This app is not working on this device", What to do now ?
