Hi
I just bought a used note i717 that worked flawlessly for sbout a week then decided it didnt wanna read my T-Mobile sim anymore.
With the help of these forums ive tried every solution under the moon
Ive replaced my sim card and the sim card reader, flashed different modems and now I'm about to try a different rom.
Currently running CyanogenMod, team win and the phone is unlocked. I'm open to any new suggestions at this point.
Thanks!!!

I have this problem as well. I had my sim card reader replaced, which did the trick for a couple days. Then the "No sim" came back. I took it back, the worker took the insides apart then put it back together correctly. It fixed it for another couple days. Now I'm stuck.
edit. I have suspicion that one of the antennas or more (GSM, 3G 4G LTE, Wifi) are faulty

Ive had my note for about a week and a half, love it, but twice now it acts like the sim card was pulled out? Powering off/on fixes it but its quite an inconvenience. I am wondering if anyone else has seen this issue, its stock by the way.

Yes, once and awhile it will have a no sim card showing in the status bar. the only way to get rid of it is to restart the phone but sometimes it will come back after a few minutes. Its really annoying.
I lost 2 SD cards with the Note 64gb and 32gb. This never happened to me. Sim card is normal no problem.
thanks cozzeck, any news if samsung and att know about it?

Kept happening to me a few weeks after I got mine. Went to the at&t store & they put a new sim card in it & that fixed it for me.
Okay I got this i717 and could not figure out what's wrong with the sim card slot. I've never posted on a forum before but I'm stuck.
Things I've tried
-went back to gingerbread from ics
- bought a new sim card slot board and put it in and still the same problem(insert sim)
- cleared cache from clockwork and titanium
- flashed different radios and modems
- tried different ROMs
I know longer know what to try, I also would like to note that it has an imei and baseband so its nothing to do with efs. It just won't read sim cards and I know its not the hardware because the micro sim words and its on the same board. Please help me out. I'm using an old slide phone now.

I know you say its not the hardware, but that's sure what it sounds like.
When you say micro sim, have you tried a regular sim in the slot?
I made a typo' "micro sim" was suppose to be "micro SD card", and I know it sounds like the hardware but I was so sure that when I replaced the sim and micro SD board it would work because everything on the phone works fine except for the sim, I've read around and the only solution I'm seeing is to send it in but that's not an option for me. And yea I just have a normal sim card from at&t that supports hspa

The only thing you can try short of replacing the motherboard is to take your work apart and double-clean the contacts between the motherboard and sim/SD cards board.
Did it ever read sim cards or did you buy it this way? Did you use Odin to reinstall the factory Gingerbread ROM?
I'll try what rangercaptain said but yes it did read my sim card when I bought it and then every now and then would randomly say insert sim and normally a reboot would fix it but it finally just cut out completely and that's when I bought the new board but it still said the same thing

Hello I had to get another note 2 over this issue I tried using my wife's sim card and it was a no go. It started out of the blu I woke up all worked well then a few hours later I wasnt able to use my phone. It was only good for going on the web and on here. I kept the first note 2 and just bought a new one I would love to fix it for my wife any help would be great. It was rooted and running Jedixv for over a month I tried new sim cards and used sim cards. When I talked to Verizon they said the phone wasn't connecting to the tower but I had full 4G service. If you got a guess im more then willing to try its already down so if I kill it off the rest of the way it wont be to be of a loss. Thanks for any help given.

Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago, now it wont read the sim at all. I ordered a new sim tray but it has not arrived yet, but if you search other threads, this may not fix our issue. Seems to be a problem with this phone.. I'll keep you posted if the replacement fixes my issue.
Dunno. Might be a fault in the mobo or the sim slot. I replaced the sim slot and it went away for the most part, but it comes back at least once per day.

Hello all.
I have had a friend give me a phone from China. This was already running CM10 when I got it and was the international version of the SIII . I have a work iPhone and took the ATT SIM out and placed it in it. I understand I cannot get LTE connection with this device... but the SIM did not appear to be recognized. I looked and there does not appear to be any unlock process for this phone with this software and I did not believe it was SIM locked as the owner told me he slapped regional SIMs in it when he traveled.
Does this imply hardware failure or am I missing something stupid here?

Hey THanks for the reply. Any suggestions as to how I can try alternate SIMS. Shoudl I walk into ATT and ask they replace the SIM for my IPhone as it is not working in other phones or should I buy a smart talk prepaid SIM or something. Any suggestions. Sorry for the seemingly stupid questions.
Regards.

I tried two att sims with no lucka nd one tmo. I took it to a shop where theyb replaced the reade and still no dice. Technician claimed bad radio flash, but the networks are seen... seems like sim reader. The other thing I noticed is that the device says wcdma on in. I know the chia carrier is gsm and the phone is supposed to be. Any thoughts?

not to resurrect but....
So I have had some updates. I took it to a local shop who attempted to replace the reader and said that a new one had the same issue. I then spoke with my friend who gave it to me and he mentioned some CM issue with SIMs being recognized. I updated the ROM and it worked well for a couple of days. THen I started having intermittant instances of the same issue..... until it completely recurred again.
I have taken it appart and resat the connection (thinking the repair guy didnt do it well and maybe that was my issue) but had no differnt results. I have tried a new ROM (SlimKat) and a couple of Kernels. I have not gotten into modem flashing yet as I am still trying to parse and understand the data there.
The Repair guy thought the modem was misflashed and that the installer who flashed CM11 messed it up. He suggested getting a Stock carrier ROM on there. I thought he was full of it and did not know what he was talking about... esp considering there is no domestic (US) carrier image for the 9300.
Thoughts or options? I have an i747 that I have been using but it does not have an unlocked SIM yet and I have been struggling to make that happen (EVEN WITH A CARRIER PROVIDED CODE??!!!).
Thanks in advanced for any assistance/insight you can provide.

Flashing CM doesn't touch the modem, most asop roms don't.
Try flashing stock which should reset everything.
