i've been working on this Galaxy Note for about a week now. it is an AT&T i717 and it is unlocked. It worked before when my sister used it with t-mobile but now whenever I put my sim in it says "NO SIM/Emergency Calls Only". I've tried everything I know of: restoring it back to Stock 2.3.6 with Odin, restoring it to 4.0.3 with Odin, factory resets, wiping cache, wiping dalvik cache, formatting all of the data, flashing different modems, flashing at&t stock kernel, flashing at&t stock radio. out of all of this none of it has worked. I would think there was something wrong with the sim tray/contact but it worked fine a little over week ago. there is no problem with the imei or baseband, both show up regularly. I'm pretty much out of ideas so any new ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
its a known issue for very few here.. just do a search.. you will find the thread(s).
havent read if they have found a solution before but last time i read the only fix was when somebody sent it in for a fix

I've done a lot of digging around here and I haven't found anything that's worked.
Also, my sim works completely fine in my GS2 so there's nothing wrong with the sim.

which radio did you flash? I've tried the Blaze radio and of course the stock at&t but I'll try the other ones. And which ROM would you recommend?
and thank you so much, I've been working on this phone for a while and it's been kinda stressful lol.
OP, I had the same issue, once I flashed any radio, my sim would not be recognized. I tried everything and it seems the only thing that worked was to flash original GB AT&T stock rom using odin and basically unrooting it. as factory as it could get. Then from there, root it. then upgrade to any rom. Make sure everything works before before flashing another radio. before you do so, do a nandroid to save you hassle.

no, it doesn't work with her sim anymore either.
After rooting my phone I flashed a few roms and not being happy with them, I decided to flash back to stock. I downloaded a stock rom (from the faq.
Everything seems to be working except I cannot connect to 4G. Where I life has 4g and befor I started flashing it I had no issues connecting to the network. I am able to use 3G, texting and am able to make calls.
Any Ideas?

1. I rooted the phone following these directions. However I did not make a back up (have rooted several phones before and never needed it.)
2.i flashed CM10 and it's boot.img to the phone. (cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-fireball-M2.zip). I got the rom from the CM site.
At this point 4g was still working. However I was unable to send pictures via SMS.
3. A friend of mine who says he knows about phones susgested that I call *228 and update roaming (option 2 when called).
I did and 4G stopped working. This also did not fix the picture problem.
4. I flashed viperLTE and its boot.img to my phone. Picture texting worked but still no 4g.
5. I flashed this stock rom and boot.ing to the phone.
Still no 4g.
Between each flash I wiped the cache, d. cache, system and factory reset.
I think that is everything. If I think of anything else I ill edit this post.
Thank you everyone,

Calling *228 from a 4G phone with a sim card can fry the sim card and it sounds like that could be what happened here.

look in settings and see what your preferred network is set at and in about phone to see if it says lte13, as far as cm10.1 -- when your mms didn't work all you had to do was was dalvic cache in recovery and mms would have worked. read the op in development for cm10 releases for the work arounds on some bugs it's all there
you may have borked your radio don't know, theres direction there to do that to(repair radio)

You may need to run the ruu package to get your radio working again. The stock and cm10 rils can sometimes get screwed up flashing between the 2. You can find the ruu on unlimited's site. Which can be found in the s off thread in development.

Your friend does not know about phones. Consider ignoring his future advice. Post 2 of the CyanogenMod thread is likely relevant to you. Did you bother reading the whole first post as is clearly noted?

Calling *228 will not "fry" the SIM card in this phone, but does not serve any purpose for phones with SIM cards.

Please don't unnecessarily recommend running the RUU. In fact if the radio did stop functioning from using CM, the RUU has nothing to do with the recovery process. It's the factory reset feature which restores the correct settings in the radio's NV memory.
I was able to get another sim (attached to a different account) and it gave me 4G. I called Verizon and they refreshed something and that seems to have fixed it. They are sending me a new sim card anyway.
Thanks for the help.

You're right, I misspoke. I was under the impression that a file from the ruu was needed to return to stock ril. Sorry about the confusion.

Running into a little hick-up with my DNA. Never seen anything like this so I'm stumped. After flashing M7 Digital Dreams V1.1, I installed the sim card from my galaxy note 2 and the phone says it's an invalid sim card. I put the card back into the Note 2 and it works fine. I then tried the sim in another friends GS3 and it worked in that phone. Not sure what's up. I tried re-wiping the phone (full wipe) and re-installing the rom. No Luck. Also tried Zone DNA rom and I get the same message. Is there something I need to flash to recognize the sim card?
Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated!!

I had one that did that, had it replaced. Nothing done to it would get the calling and data back. The replacement is about to get replaced, it starts ringing on it's own, even has it's own ringtone. Cute trick.

RUU is new to me. What exactly is that? I was thinking about trying to go back to stock but wasn't sure if it was necessary. Is there a thread that shows how to RUU back to stock? Sounds like I may have to go back to stock anyhow so I can return the phone......

I'm having a somewhat similar problem, but not to your extent. I've flashed the same ROM you mention above and when leaving a Wifi connection to 4G (like when I leave my house and get in the car), my sim card gives an error. I get it back to working properly by rebooting, but it's a pain.
This occurs for me on other Sense 5 ROMS too.
Well I just got off the phone with vzw customer service and they are sending out a new phone. According to the rep, the latest update that rolled out on 4/15 was supposed to address this sim card issue. Specifically the "PUK locked" message, which is what I was getting when I flashed back to the latest stock ROM.
So, I used Moonshine to unlock and root the VZW Droid DNA, and after it was all said and done, I installed CM11 with the KK Gapps.
Normally, I don't have an issue with this kind of thing, but I could call and text after for approximately two hours, then it just stopped.
I now can't text at all, and when I call, it says something about needing to go to an external operator on VZW's service,
but what gets me is that I still have LTE, I still have data, I can browse the internet, I just can't call or text. I'm baffled.
In settings, in about phone, it says it's connected to service, it isn't roaming, it has all connectivity and even shows me my number.
Why could this be? I really need this phone to have service. Thanks to all who help!

Same issue here. All data works via LTE (status bar icon turns blue) but without SMS or phone ability. Traveling on business this week I noticed poor connectivity and ran the *228 #2 option to update my roaming coverage. I thought that was the cause, but it may not be if others are experiencing the same. I can reach Verizon activation if I switch CDMA mode to automatic (goes to roaming) but activation cannot complete. Seems like we need reprogramming for some reason but I doubt Verizon will want to assist us with customized software.
Wise people of XDA, please help/advise us confused souls.
Verizon DNA, Moonshine, TWRP beta, CM11 (no difference with stable CM10.2.1).

This is the same method I used to get mine working again.
Something happened to my radio partition, it was showing my phone number as 000-000-0000 and would not recognize the SIM. Too many ROM flashes. Hahaha. This will rebuild all the factory partitions.
Worked like a champ for me.

I'm sure this is a silly question I'll find the answer to immediately after I hit "Submit", but... I've found the Sense 5 deodexed ROM mentioned in similar threads but how do I know which recovery download to use? 1.15 or 3.06?

Scratching my head. Nothing sees the phone via ADB though the drivers and software appear correct. I'm able to flash TWRP through Flashify and Flash Image GUI but it doesn't seem to like any of the recovery options above. Selecting Recovery from the Moonshine HBOOT screen brings me (eventually) to a red "!" triangle over a phone. I have the option to reset through Sense 5 settings or Moonshine, but my guess is that just makes things worse/does nothing without the correct recovery. Any ideas?
EDIT: Small gains - computer sees the phone if I reinstall CM10.2.1. Not that it fixes much...

After a day or two of use I have lost LTE and a second reset has not brought it back. I have had past sporadic SIM card error messages upon boot of fresh CM installs but assumed it was normal.

Good evening yall, I have serious problem with my Droid DNA and need some help bad.
A couple days ago I noticed that my phone kept losing service so I researched it on Google and found out it could be something with the Sim card, easy to fix by getting a new one. I also read somewhere that it could be something that can be fixed with reboot and re flash of my ViperDNA Sense5 2.5.2. So I made a recovery and wiped the data off my phone with CWM, after re-flashing and rebooting into the rom I tried to use the Viper Authentication Wizard but wasn't able to complete because of the faulty SIM. I kept re-flashing and recovering with CWM for a couple more times still and on some boots the signal would return but I couldn't make calls because the error "android.process.system not responding".
I've tried to flash the Radios and Ruu back to stock and flash a stock rom but now it boots to a black screen with the status bar.
Please help I can't use my phone!!
I rebooted the phone while it was activating using the Activation Wizard in ViperDNA rom and relocked the boot-loader also which I think made more problems.
I've also used adb and fastboot commands and got a new SIM from Verizon, yesterday I flash cm10 and was able to receive a couple text messages before I lost service again. Since then everything I do doesn't work need some assistance.
Boot-loader screen says this
Unlocked
Monarudo PVT ship S-Off RH
CID-22222222
Hboot-1.54
Radio-1.01.01.1112
OS-3.06.605.4
Is the sim card not being detected at all? If that's the case one suggestion I can make before you go for a replacement or some other route is getting a new sim tray from HTC. Htc made a thicker tray and I got it a while ago and since then I have not had any issues with my sim card. If you contact them and tell them they will send it to you free or charge. I would try that. This sounds like a hardware issue not so much a software version.

So I was able to flash ViperDNA with twrp-beta but now it doesn't actually boot just stuck in the booting animation.
By flashing my recovery to the one on Viper page would that erase my previous recovery? And would my signal return?

So I see you have done lots to your phone and the original post said you had this and that what is your current radio and hboot? If you went back to the original stock then did you moonshine and unlock your bootloader again? I hate to say this but I had a dna that suffered from this and I had to replace the whole board, the top one, which was 65$ but if you are handy with solder you could do it for I think six. Anyways, current info please.
Try the ruu first. Then if it still doesn't boot it's hardware related.
