I would check to be sure sim is completely inserted, it should lock into place and need to be pushed in further to eject it.
Similar to the way some micro SD card slots work.

Just restore it to stock JB. Info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946 Look in the FAQ section. Although it might just be a bad sim card. It may be worth just walking into AT&T and asking to switch your number to a new one. If that still doesn't work, then just LGNPST.

It shouldn't be but it could be a sign to internal damage. The door keeps out dust, lint, and other small objects (coins and keys) from breaking the contacts inside. You may be looking at hardware damage.

All that is, is the phone detecting an object being pushed in. It still won't see that "that object" is a sim card until it reboots.

It is probably software related. I was just saying there is a possibility it is hardware related since the sim cover is broken. You won't know until you flash back to stock. Also, does your phone show an IMEI number? Check in settings>about phone>phone identity. Dont post the IMEI, just check to see if there is a number. I ask because my EFS partition got messed up once on another phone and it too wasn't recognising the sim.

Thats normal. The phone will still operate without a sim card. All the network (Edge, GSM, LTE) will still function. This is so that you can still use your phone to make emergency calls. Basically, the problem can only be a few things.
1. Software related (Solution: flash back to stock)
2. Sim Card related (S: get a new sim card)
3. Hardware related (S: repair/replace the phone)
You'll figure it out. Just narrow it down one by one. :good:
Edit: Before you restore stock, why not just try a factory reset. It wouldn't hurt. Backup just in case.

Hello everyone. I have photon 4G from USA and after full flashing ROM 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5 and last OTA update is appear the problem with GSM/UMTS sim-card - phone is not detecting it after first manual reboot. Only after wipe data the sim-card is detecting but after reboot problem is repeating. What's wrong ?
The sim-card is new, on the another devices it is work.
My flashing order: wipe (all cash), flashing 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5 via RSD_lite, wipe (all cash), OTA update, wipe (all cash).
Manual changing in the system after done: root AIO method, freezing all apps with "sprint" and "social" in the title.
Please give me advice or some help.
When you say the Photon isn't detecting your SIM card, what do you mean? It says "Insert SIM" when you boot up?
It doesn't

No, sim-card already inside (i don't eject it before flashing) and it working fine until the phone will be rebooted first.

I've tried both. Tried 4 different sim. It works only with old sim with large field of contact (all new small). I don't understand why.
Update №1: No, another sim with big field of contact is not working too (Vodafone europe).
Update №2: The problem with all SIM cards.
Perhaps the official update (full ROM) contain some lock for non-sprint SIM ?
It is highly unlikely.
Perhaps it's a faulty SIM reader?

Via ebay (devices_now_inc seller). Without sprint SIM. I have only GSM/UMTS SIM (Russian and Chech).
The problem was desided (i hope). Problem was in the non-work SIM-lock dialog after reboot (perhaps because of the freeze some stock's app, I don't know), phone don't asked the pin-code automatically and SIM stay lock everytime. Just go to the phone menu / Settings / Location & security / Set up SIM card lock / Lock SIM card (make it unmark) - enter PIN-code (if you have) and forget about locked GSM/UMTS SIM on your phone. I hope it will be helpfull for somebody.
Hi
I bought this S3 in Lituania as a "No Signal" phone hoping that it would work in SPAIN.
I have switched it on today, trying with my own sim and after enter the PIN I see "Only emergency calls". I have uptaded it to the 4.1.2 JB but same result.
Checking the locked status I see all OFF. I rooted and installed the Voodoo Unlocked and same result "Unlocked phone" but no network.
The IMEI is the same in the phone than in the back so It doesn´t look like a IMEI issue...
I applied the ariza_v04.zip patch with same result...
I can see the SIM contacts and the phone recognize my SIM number, I mean in settings I can see my phone number...
More info, when I try to select manualy my network, it doesn´t find any!
Could you please help??
Thanks thanks so much!
I have just flashed a new Modem with same result
Any idea???
Why is it sold as a no signal phone ???? Hardware i would guess .

Download a stock rom say the new 4.1.2 then go into recover make all wipes. After you have done, while in recovery move it down to chose from sd and don't click anything. Now hold Power + Volume down + Home all at the same time till you go into download mode connect your phone and flash stock unrooted firmware on your phone..
When finished start the phone if there is no signal then download CF Root which Chainfire made and root your phone and download GetRil from android market and see if your modem is matching it will tell you your recommended modem find and download it. Then match the ril if that doesn't work sorry mate you might have a blocked IMEI or a bad phone..
Try with another SIM.

May be the antenna has any problem?
Any other ideas?
IF you have emergency calls available - that would mean the phone has some network in range. Therefore, I doubt if this is antenna issue.

Have you tried different SIM cards?
Do emergency calls work? If so your number is blocked. It may be a stolen phone.

Well... news!
I went to the Samsung SAT and... the phone has NO ANTENNA! But not only this, it hasn´t the antenna plug!!
So I guess that if I want to fix it I should:
1- Solder any antenna or any antenna plug and then connect an antenna (too dificult I think...).
2- Find this silicon chip replacement (It´s where the usb dock and the camera conects to). But, where?! I tried but I don´t find it...
Any other idea?

I returned to stock
I installed GetRil (changed the baseband)

Get a new sim from your carrier. Either your sim tray is broken or your sim card is. Sim card is cheap/free to replace so try that first.

sounds like (both of you) your EFS folder is corrupt - the only way i've read of repairing it is to have a back up. service center for repair is the only option AFAIK.
The IMEISV means nothing, don't even worry about it. Know what you're talking about before you blurt out crap.

Sim carrier unusual to be damaged .
IMEI wrong .

First I restored the phone with the nandroid backup I made just before flashing. (still not register on network)
Then I restored the phone to stock Samsung with Odin (still not register on network)
The IMEI is still there(most thread I read with this problem people lost their IMEI)
The phone can connect to the network because it can retreive the time from the network.
If I make a network operator search it finds China Unicom(This is my sim card) and when I choose it it says "register on the network" but as soon as I try to call, I get the "not register on network" again.
I thought the IMEI might be block as it might be a stolen phone but I made a search on two IMEI database and it says CLEAR.
I flashed 3 Asian modems( I used to have a S3 I know the XXELJ2 was working with my sim card) and same result.
Have you tried flashing a different modem to your device and reporting the problem to your provider.
May sound obvious but the provider's logs may clearly show what is wrong and they can report it back to you.

anyway, tried this metod too now, and still the same ~
Hey guys, had a very similar problem to kremata (everything in EFS folder seemingly ok (IMEI and S/N were fine)), and for me it got fixed by applying Azira's Patch ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601 ).
However this solution only works by rooting and if you try to return it to stock it will reverse to being a 500$ PDA sadly.
In any case, the phone is now fully functional (calling/SMS/mobile data).

ok
My brother has S3 which was working fine before this.
Today in morning he took out sim from it, the phone was off, and put sim in another phone. The phone was in the drawer the whole time and powered off.
So in evening he inserted sim, turned it on and it shows no sim detected. Did a bit reboots but no good.
I also have S3, so i took my sim and inserted it and it did not detect it.
His sim is working well in my cell phone but his cell phone is not detecting any sim, neither mine nor his.
I have checked for EFS and IMEI problem but both are intact, IMEI is not corrupt.
The phone is not even rooted, and it has 4.1.2 rom and it is the build before the MG4, and he has not even flashed since opening it from box.
Now i have no idea what should be done.
Can someone guide me in this matter?
I would recommend getting it repaired.

But before that it was working and there was nothing that could have happened to it. I am thinking to flash the latest build but just wanna know before doing something stupid.
I will surely backup EFS, so that i dont lose IMEI.
Hi there guys, I got an issue with my moto E after having flashed carbon ROM. Basically it can't read any more my SIM card content.
What this means is that it can feel if the card is inserted or not (through notification bar and alerts when I remove it), but it simply doesn't work. Which includes total lack of signal (and that's not a problem of the area where I live), no contacts or text message threads, nor even it prompts me for pin on startup. I know it can't be the SIM because it's working on other devices, and my friends' SIMs work on mine.
Also apparently my external SD card seems that got corrupted, as I can't read it even on my laptop any more.
All the rooting process went down quite smoothly, and the problem came only just after I've flashed the Carbon ROM (if it matters, I actually flashed the ROM first, and then Gapps in a second moment).
I tried to flash other ROMs and even the stock ROM (without reinstalling the original recovery and locking the bootloader back though), with the hope to set things back right, but so far no luck.
I've found this thread though, where it mentions that Efs files might be corrupted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/reading-sim-card-flashing-rom-t1342770
but what are they exactly?
Might it be a kernel related issue? Would I be able to solve it flashing a new kernel?
I'm not an expert in this kind of stuff, hence every help is appreciated.
ok i will help you please answer my questions
type *#06# and check if you can see imei
Hi mate, sorry I didn't reply immediately, I've been caught in other commitments. I will be here at the computer the rest of the day.
I did what you said and the IMEI number turned up

Download phone testing app from play store and see the network mode and set it to wcdma preferred may be you don't have 3G connectivity and its forcing to use 3G and you're not able to get signal

I've just done that, but, according to the app, the phone is in "WCDMA preferred" already. The thing is that it's not just the connectivity... but all the functions related to the SIM card (PIN, contacts, text messages threads) aren't working... And yet it detects if the SIM card (which works on other devices) is inserted or not.

No SIM can work on that device, but they do on others.
Actually I've just bought another Moto E, as I've bricked that one trying to revert it to the original setting, flashing a Stock ROM.
I've proceeded again with the whole process of flashing the same Carbon ROM (this time after the due nandroid backup), and then again, everything it's working, except for the SIM card. I'm thinking that there's something wrong with it, I'd really like to know if there are any other Moto E users with the same issue with this ROM. Actually, browsing forums around, it appears that this issue happens several time while flashing, but noone seems to know why..
That's a pity though, I'd really enjoy try out different custom ROMs on this device.
Ehy... could it be that the ROM I've flashed was intended for single sim devices only, why I have a double SIM Moto E?
That might explain why, although everything seems to work, the system doesn't enable the SIM functions.
Is there some ROM fan/developer who can actually confirm that, and also indicate me a custom ROM which supports double SIM, if any?
By the way, I managed to get back to the rooted stock rom with my last device, the first one is still there booting. Always do that goddam nandroid backup guys...

The two variants were released in different regions so the custom ROM for single SIM might have different baseband than devices in your region.
Either flash the baseband for your region, if available or else flash a compatible ROM.
OK neo.ank, I'll give it a try.
i have the same problem too.
i was using the cm11, but don't recognize my headphones
them i get back with the stock rom but now i can't do phone calls cuz the phone can't fiund my SIM card

Hi same problem... not *#06# is not giving IMEI number

Yeah it may be a problem with ROM !
So check if your sims work on other ROM
