I have a quick question because I've run into a problem I can't seem to fix.
First, so everyone knows what I'm dealing with:
Phone: i717
Changes: Rooted (Shows super user access), CWM v5.5.0.4, Unlocked (Tested)
Rom: Stock AT&T Rom
Sim Card: Works in a T-mo branded Exhibit II 4G.
I flashed a radio (tried KID, 0331122 from the radio thread in the dev section, and reflashed the original AT&T radio).Even w/ the original radio installed, it cannot seem my T-Mo sim now.
Do I need to flash a new Rom or what? Wipe data to factory reset?
I would rather not change anything w/o asking since flashing radios seems to be a straight forward thing that most ppl have done w/o touching the rom.
Thanks ahead of time.
Mine worked with a rooted stock rom at first it didnt see the sim then i tried searching the network under wireless and networks it took a few minutes but then it came up.

don't forget if you are running an ICS based ROM you need an ICS based Radio/modem.
EDIT: i see you're running the original GB rom so you need the GB radio.
give it a few minutes to find a signal or go to settings/mobile networks/network operators. choose manual. then let it search a few minutes. then select t-mobile.
I find the Blaze 4G radio worked best for me, but depending on your area, your results may differ. try em all.
You guys are insanely fast.
I'm currently on the stock radio & I'm still getting the same message after letting the sim sit in the phone for 9 minutes (yes, I watched the clock, lol):
Insert SIM card to access network services

Where should I go from here?
Edit: Is the answer flashing another rom? Maybe something has become corrupt? I don't see how as I've read & re-read walk thrus for doing this to make sure.
I've done a little more reading. Flashing the beta ICS rom flashes to the old AT&T modem.
Would this be the best bet?
Edit: After looking through the "about" phone...
I'm on 4.0.3
Baseband: Unknown............. that's really bad.
Edit 2:
After reading, I needed to back up the EFS. No where is this stated anywhere, unfortunately. That contains IMEI and everything else.
Edit:
So, after reading MORE, the IMEI number is on a sticker behind the battery, along w/ the S/N.
Huh? Efs? I dont even know what that is nevermind backing it up. Goto clockworkmod and flash the radio.zip and reboot. Thats all there is to it.

If you look up EMEI number related to flashing the radio, there's a lot of hits.
XDA has a thread on it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352371
I'm quite shocked it's not mentioned everywhere as this happens to people now and again.
I have my IMEI number, i just don't know how to input it into the phone.
As for flashing the radio, I've flashed 2, then back to the original. To no avail.
Sorry never had anything like that. I would almost odin back to stock and start over. You dont need root for the sim to work on calls and edge with tmobile.

If you're baseband is unknown don't worry just flash a stock at&t modem and it should go back to normal. Your imei is under a different menu in about phone..the status one.
Also its no ones responsibility to tell you that modifying your phone may break it.

I did flash back to the stock AT&T baseband as stated in the original post.
If I go to About Phone, the Baseband Version is unknown.
If I go to Status, the following are listed as
Network: Unknown
Mobile Network: Unknown
Service State: Out of service
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
IMEI: Unknown
IMEI SV: Unknown
I've backed up the EFS that I have no just so it doesn't degrade further. I'll try to flash again and see, but I still think the EFS is borked.
I'll see what I can, but I think I'll the EFS is borked beyond flashing it to normal.
My point about the EFS back up is that most ppl here don't seem to know what it is. It shouldn't be that foreign of a topic since flashing a radio is obviously problematic for some. I've seen other posts concerning no IMEI after flashing radios on forums other than XDA. It's odd that it's not mentioned as a sticky everywhere.
Backing up EFS would solve a lot of head aches from unlocking / radio flashing woes. I'm hoping this info will save a few people a lot of time and money.
After more digging, I came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646326
Synopsis: Basically, he followed the same guide I did. The only difference is that I flashed the radio while using a stock AT&T rom. Once he flashed back to GB (saurom), he gained back his baseband / IMEI.
This is what I cannot figure out:
CWM will see and flash any radio file I push to my note. If I push a stock AT&T rom, it won't see it. If I put the rom in it's own folder, it seems the rom, but states there's no files.
Is CWM corrupted? Why would it only read firmware to flash radios, but not android roms? Should I just go back and install CWM?
I've searched all over & used google, but I can't find a thread discussing this.
Fixed.
This problem has nothing to do with any of the radios corrupting the EFS folder. Albeit, it's always a good idea to back it up.
Flashing back to AT&Ts stock rom (2.3.6 or 4.0.3) never fix the issue. You will always be stuck w/o a radio, at least from what I've seen. Even flashing back to the stock radio fails. I don't know if it changes the EFS, but AT&T's rom does not like it and shows no IMEI & a bogus SN .
I had to go back, flash to saurom and a compatible GB (or beta T-mobile) radio to get te work fine. ICS radios work fine on ICS.
Saurom and GB radios dont work in my i 717 trying to connect to wind. I got a CM 9 ICS build and ive tired a bunch of radios. they all failed. i keep getting no sim errors. I can see the operator but when i select it it times out and says it cannot connect to the network at this time. it also says interset sim. Im positive it is unlocked.
Modems(radios) or basebands should have nothing to do with whatever rom you are running. Whether they are GB, ICS, or JB modems, they should all work to a degree, at least for phone call ability. I have flashed many different radios trying to get the best function of my att note on t-mo. The best I got was using the Blaze modem. That got me 3g hspa.
The worst will be just giving you edge speed. My note is unlocked and has been on JB running blaze ICS modem working fine. Maybe you need to start over, evaluate what you have, and go from there. There are great threads on att over t-mobile. Good luck.
I picked my rom, and started flashing 5 or 6 radios, and found what one worked best on t-mo.
Presently, I have switched back to att- sort of- straight talk. I'm not thrilled with the speeds. No higher than 4 mbps DL, and 1-1.5 UL. Thinking about going back to t-mo and dealing with the slow UL speeds. I'm on an ICS rom with the ucle6 modem.
Also, flashing a rom does not change your modem. You have to physically reflash the modem you want. Some modems show up as unknown under the baseband. Blaze is one of them.
Another thought- sometimes a reboot will get your sim recognized by your phone.

This is yet another case of the "no sim" bug ....
Damn I wish we could find the answer to this issue, but none exist .....and for some users the return to complete stock even fails to recover service ..

Really what an incredible unlucky glitch.I got my note for only 360CDN good condition but missing the stylus, even still it was a good buy. I'm on Wind mobile, T-mobile here in Canada. I even gave it to somebody who's done a bunch and they ran into the no sim problem. I guess I'll be going back to my HTC HD2 and sell the note .
---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------
So just to confirm I have followed the process correctly over 20 times and no matter which cm9 cm10 based rom and any ics or gb based radio will allow connection or recognize the sim to the 1700 aws network. With a cm9 based rom I can see my network, but it will not allow connection like the phone is locked, even though i have unlocked and tested the phone on other networks.

Yes, I have the same 'No SIM' issue with a working WIND SIM. I've tried everything, multiple Radios, multiple ROMs. Very strange problem. I wish we had the tools that the SGSIII has for dumping and restoring the NV ram. Even stranger, I do have a the correct IMEI number in Phone, About. I have a feeling it's something to do with how the phones were carrier unlocked.

I have made a backup of the EFS folder with EFS Pro. I tried restoring the NV ram from .bak but there was none found.

It has nothing to do with your unlock. If you've followed the steps and are still having no sim issue you may have to get a new 32k sim card from wind the older ones won't connect in a phone with lte

Had to replace the TMo SIM card with a newer one today. Solved the problem of "No SIM".
I know this is old
I have the same problem with "NO SIM." One day i flashed so many things to my phone and one time i turned it on i got ATT on the top right corner and everything was good. I made some phone calls and texts and even browsed the web. I restarted the phone to check if it was just a fluke and it was. Ever since then i cannot get it to read my phone, but i know for sure the hardware works.
Specifics of my phone are Rogers unlocked/rooted.
Was functioning perfectly fine with stock rogers rom, i tried to flash saurom, that's when it went to ****.
My phone hasn't recognized the sim card since, giving me a no sim error. I've tried flashing odin stock rogers and stock kernel, CWM the rogers modem, etc.
Nothing has fixed it thus far... ready to throw this thing against a wall
I'm able to put my sim card in another phone and it functions just fine. I've even taken a sim card from that other phone, and put it into my Note, and it worked... But my native sim card doesn't like my Note anymore?..
Anyone have any suggestions?..
can you try changing another Rogers sim card or unlock first. it's only 15$ to network/factory unlock at cellunlocket.net
it's already unlocked. i've stated that i put another card in the phone and it functions fine. and put the same card into another phone and it functions fine.. but this card gives me this blasted error.
If you go to settings >> about phone do you have a baseband or does it say unknown?
If you go to status (under about phone), do you have an unknown IMEI and unkown IMEI SV?
That's the first place to start.

I've flashed and reflashed the rogers modem over and over again.. Not sure how it can still be a modem issue?
I went out and got a brand new ROGERS LTE cim card today to replace the one that i thought was faulty... same issue. I've tried two non-lte cards from other providers and they work perfectly fine.. yet my rogers card doesn't? :S

I have absolutely zero experience flashing to rogers. I will tell you my experience though. Hopefully, it might give you some insight.
My i717 was flashed from AT&T to a T-mobile radio. On the stock AT&T rom, no radio would work. This included the original radio firmware I had downloaded from XDA and other places as well.
I flashing to a GB rom, Sauron in my case fixed the issue. If I flashed to ICS, I had to get an ICS compatible radio. If I flashed back to the AT&T rom, nothing works. It seems to be irreversible, despite what everyone on here says. I know I'll get flack for it, but I've tried it a few times. Maybe I have a special phone? LOL
I would say back up your EFS w/ EFS Pro (it worked for me), then try flashing to something else, even AT&T or T-mobile. I think you'd get 2G speeds at least. I'm not familiar with Rogers bands, so I don't know what radios you can flash to or what basebands are compatible. Maybe someone could chime in on that topic?
As long as you back up your EFS, if you're careful and find a working radio, you should be ok and you should be able to revert and flash away.
Does anyone out there have a working rogers radio? Help this guy out!
Thanks for the reply. As per what you've said, I've already tried a bunch of that.
I've tried flashing to both Bell and AT&T stocks. No dice. I've tried swapping the modems out as well to their. No dice.
As stated, I've even gotten a brand new sim card today. That card works perfectly fine in my backup phone (which isn't an LTE device, don't know if that matters?).
Im having this same problem..
I had a data plan on my sim card.
AT&T plan
and ever since I tried to root it...and i accediently wiped sd card
it says NO SIM CARD FOUND ever time it starts..
no sim card
Suddenly today, no sim card msg appears.
My samsung galaxy note i717 (Rogers) phone is std and never been altered.
I checked this thread and no answers appear.
Will contact rogers.
i have same problem AT&T I717
i tried different firmware like Rogers Telus and AT&T As well but problem is still there
and also i checked Hardware nothing wrong with hardware side i have same phone i replace SIM Socket but dos't work either
any Ida about this problem
Thanks
My first note I got did this also. Lucky it was 10 minutes after walking out of the store. They swapped out out for me and haven't had it happen again. Most likely, its the phone. Revert back to stock and send it in for warranty if possible.

I have copied the radios to the SD card and tried flashing each one with CWM, then trying them out, but none work. If I am doing it wrong, please show me how to do it right.

Wind uses T-Mobile bands. Go get the blaze modem in the T-Mobile thread discussion.
But if you get a sim card not recognized or a no sim card inserted error, its not the modem. Check your sim in any GSM phone to see it it is damaged or not provisioned.

Well, its a brand new phone, perfectly clean and i had it working before. at first when updated to onlyone rom, i tried many that didnt work until i found one that did. but i found the speeds were too slow, so today i decided to shop around for some others, but now that i flashed these ones, i cant get the original one working again.
are you sure its hardware and not software?
found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26657065&postcount=336
quite a unique circumstance but explains a lot. i will try it now and confirm it worked on my phone
yes, the above link proved to be the correct answer. onlyone rom users for the galaxy note can only use the ripped sgs2 ICS radios
i hope this will be able to help someone else
:good:
Whew. Good job on the investigation.
same as me
hello
this happened to me and drove me crazy in the end from recovery i did all the wipe and installed the saurom rom then every thing worked agen i am new at this but i think my mastic was that i flashed ics modem over a gingerbread rom or vers versa
but after a wipe and a new rom the phone start to see the sim i wish that help because this drove me crazy good luck
Can someone post the steps to do this? I am with Mobilicity and lost network connection. Probably because of flashing roms that do not work with Mobilicity.

The solution to this problem is all those on the Tmobile/Wind/Mobilicity network need to flash one of these radios after they have flashed a rom of their choosing. I believe the radios that come with these roms are for the AT&T/Bell/Rogers/Telus networks

No, it actually "does" have to do with the modem sometimes. I flashed several roms and, when i got the error, it was only with a certain rom and, after going back to the other rom, the problem was gone. The SIM wasn't touched hence...it was not the SIM.

Flashing a rom does not flash a modem. So with all the rom changes you did, you never touched the modem.
Only a few update packages contain both a rom and a modem.

Yes and my packages "may" have been some of those packages. Stop assuming....believe it or not you don't see everything that goes on at the other end. I also flashed other modems as well, the three made for T-Mobile, along with those roms and just didn't add it into the conversation. The Padawan ROM actually "does" carry multiple modems.
What ever, dude. Stop getting so excited. Its just information.
And its not your thread -- its a community thread.

Please borrow an at&t sim that you know works. Reboot the phone and give it a minute.
Check wireless settings to see if mobile data is checked.
Please use a comma and periods now and then.

That is much better. Sounds like the issues past T-mobile users have gone through. I believe what they had to do was reinstall the stock ROM via odin, reroot, see if they can get registered on the network with the ATT modem first, and then flash the appropriate modem for simple mobile.

Dont know how funny this is by I bought a spare i717 on craigslist today flashed the Tmobile SGH-T879 rom and boot file in odin. Then I flashed the blaze ics modem and woot works. So I thought just repeat process wipe phone with cwm recovery boot into download mode and load tmobile img flash blaze ics and it would work still will not register? wth
But you can't tell how many flashes the phone has had, and what junk is in there. That is why someone suggested you return the phone to stock to make a fresh start.
Hi guys,
I managed to accidentally grab the ATT version of LiquidSmooth and flash it. Since then, I've had strange issues with service. Here's what I've tried:
Flashing (Verizon) versions of CM, LiquidSmooth, and Hyperdrive
Flashing the original and ME7 modems with Heimdall and Odin
Wiping data, system, caches, and fixing permissions before/after every flash
Randomly toggling Mobile Network settings (but I have no idea what I'm doing there)
[*[Searching everywhere I could think of on the forums
I had 0 service on either AOSP ROM I tried. Right now, I'm running Hyperdrive and getting weird results.
Sometimes it asks be to switch to "Global Mode" and shows that I'm roaming.
If I try to call, it says it can't find a mobile network and fails.
After leaving it sitting for a while (right after a clean flash), all the texts I missed came through.
If I try to text somebody, I'm warned that the mobile network is unavailable, but the text still goes through!
4G is working on Hyperdrive. Wifi still works on everything.
com.android.phone crashes when I try change the Network mode away from Global
I'd love to hear any suggestions you guys might have for me. Not sure what I have left to try.... is there a master reset for all of this?
Thanks!

The APNs list is blank and my signal jumps between zero bars and a few bars + roaming. Call and text not working.
I've also attached my PIT file (grabbed with Heimdall). Have no idea how to read it.
Do you have a nandroid backup that includes your EFS partition? If so, I would try restoring it and seeing what happens. Sounds like something got out of whack in there and is giving your phone a hard time doing it's #1 job.
This is what ultimately switched me to the S4, my GNex randomly decided one day that it wasn't going to be a phone anymore, and I didn't have an EFS backup to restore in order to try and fix it.
Two things -
1. Always, always, always, make sure the ROM you are flashing is the correct ROM.
2. Always keep an ODIN file on handy of the full system image, here is the full MDK software, this WILL wipe all of your data - http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=237

I don't have a backup. That will definitely be the first thing I do when I get this working again.

1. I know. LiquidSmooth could have done a better job of linking to the right place on their post, but it was still really dumb on my part.
2. Thanks for this! It looks like I'll be able to try this out tonight (slow connection). The SD card data is safe right? Also, I'm just downloading the tar - not sure what the exe is for.
I haven't used Odin for this since it was on version 1.8 or something (now it's over 3)... it looks like I still just choose the tar from the PDA block and hit go... no specific other settings needed for this phone / flash, right?
No luck :/ . I unzipped the stock restore, flashed in Odin (PDA), and booted fine. I have 4G and texts working, but no calling (mobile network not available) and calling my phone goes straight to voicemail. Also, it's very adamant about keeping me in Global mode over LTE/CDMA. This is the same state I was in earlier while running Hyperdrive, except now I don't have root.
I feel like I've tried everything there is to try. Does anyone have any further suggestions?
Are there any areas of software that don't get reset when flashing the stock images in Odin, and that could have been corrupted from the bad flash?
Thanks.
It's probably also worth mentioning that I'm warned about there being no mobile network when I send texts. I can cancel the dialog and they still go through. People can text me without issues.

I had the same happen to me when I was working on getting radio on MIUI ROM, after tinkering with the Sprint version, only 4G would work, and occasionally roaming would work. Every time I tried to make a call, it told me there was no mobile network available, and it constantly tried to switch into Global Mode instead of CDMA/LTE.
Sadly, the only thing that worked for me was getting my phone replaced with a brand new one. If you find anything that works please be sure that you post it, because someone else may end up doing the same thing.

Did you get it replaced via warranty? If so, did you need to do anything besides flashing a stock image in Odin beforehand?
Maybe try flashing the stock rooted ME7 that includes the new radios? Couldn't hurt at this point.
Edit: whoops, saw you already tried that

Does anybody know whether ODIN / recovery deletes the partitions before writing new ones? If a file existed in the ATT rom, but not in the Verizon one, would it still be on my phone if I flashed the Verizon rom over the ATT one? Obviously this assumes a data / cache wipe in between. I'm really talking more about the other partitions.
Also, does anyone have any experience trying to get a replacement via warrantee after flashing? I've read all about the binary counter on our model, but didn't see any success / failure stories yet from people returning phones after flashing stock + unrooting.
Last question for now: is there any reason to believe that taking the recent update would help my situation? Maybe that could reset whatever is causing my calling issue.... just a random guess. I know that I'd lose any chance of getting root back (at least for a while).
Thanks again for the help guys!
