Hi guys
This is related to my brother's Galaxy S II. He had been using it for a couple of weeks when suddenly (according to him, wouldn't say if he dropped it or anything), he got disconnected from the mobile network.
He rebooted the phone, and got a no service error. When going into Mobile Network settings, it reads 'Insert SIM to access mobile network settings', even with the SIM inserted.
I tried his SIM in his phone - no luck.
I tried my SIM in his phone - no luck.
I tried his SIM in my phone - works.
Tried flashing two new ROMs - no luck.
I suppose this is the phone's SIM reader, then, but have you had any similar problems with it? Do you reckon this will be covered by warranty?
Thanks in advance.
You tried his sim on your phone and no luck? I thought you said his phone is the one wiyh no signal? Anyway, can you still see the imei on his phone?

Yes, I tried his sim on my phone too, just to see if the SIM was broken (which it wasn't). His phone has no signal, that is correct.
IMEI and IMEI SV list 'unknown' in phone info, but on the original boxing it's listed as 358150044627942.
Baseband also Unknown?
Maybe he flashed some custom Roms and lost his imei.

Yes sir, Baseband is also unknown. He wouldn't know how to flash custom ROMs, so I doubt that's the case.
Is this something we can fix ourselves, or would it need shipping off to service?
Thanks.
If you are sure that he doesnt flash any custom rom and only update with KIES you should bring the phone to Sammy support.
You can search the forum and find some threads were people lost their IMEI 'cause they flash custom roms. Then you can recover it when you backuped your EFS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261948
But in this case you i think you havent any EFS backup.
My mistake: I had flashed LightningMod to his phone, but he had no problems using it after I flashed it -- the error only appeared after a couple of weeks.
OK, so seems like we're just gonna send it to Samsung, as I'm leaving the country on Tuesday anyway. Have reverted to stock rom and kernel, and I guess we'll blame it on KIES or something. Judging on our past experiences with Samsung it shouldn't be a problem anyway.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Don't forget to reset the flash counter using a jig..

Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I have a Galaxy SIII GT-i9300 with Cyanogenmod 10.2. Last weekend I went out of range from the network in to the country side. When I came back to the city my phone would not connect back to the network. I tried to manually register it to the network Vodafone NZ but it just says "Cant connect to this network try again later. Ive tried to take out battery and sim card and sd card but no luck. I also restored my phone back to my last back up but still no luck. Just wanted to try something before I reset it. Wifi works fine.
Baseband version I9300XXELLA
Signal strength -81dBm 17asu
mobile network type HSDPA
Service state out of service
IMEI SV 01
Could it be the modem? Everything was working fine before I went out of range.
I know the IMEI number plays up but mine is ok.
Please help.
Don't post your imei number, it's like putting your bank details on the internet.
Try different sim and your sim in another phone, then wipe and flash full stock rom with odin to test for hardware fault.

Thanks for that I removed my IMEI number.
I tested my sim in another phone it worked but the other sim didnt work in my phone.
Ive formatted my phone and flashed a stock rom the network bars did come up when I was doing the initial setup but afterwards it went off.
I am able to search for the networks but not register on to it.
Ive read alot of forums and they are all talking about wrong IMEI and serial number but mine match up to the back of the phone.
Your sim reader is faulty.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
It is detecting that there is a sim as when I take it out it says no sim and when I put it back in the notification goes away.
But that might be on the right lines as when theres no sim the signal bars seems to fluctuate and when I put it back in it goes away.
Ive flashed another stock rom but its a Great Britain version but it matched up to my baseband and it did a few updates and now my baseband has changed. Now when I press "select automatically" it says registered to network but nothing happens and doesn't register to Vodafone nz. So I dont think theres anything wrong with the modem.
How would I go about checking the sim reader?
Thanks for all thr help much appreciated
You already have, 'other sim didn't work in my phone'. Take it to a service centre.

Hi dudes,
i have a normal GT-i9300 NO BRAND. From the beginning i started with Ultima Rom and until version 12 and a provider CHANGE with the same number (from Wind to TIM, Italy) i never had a problem...after,starts the odd's show:
if turns on the WiFi...my device is like OFFLINE,is not reachable .KEEP ATTENTION: the signal is present, like -85dbM 14asu.But from the moment I do a phone call or i send a SMS...device turns back reachable, for a X period of time,after that: "offline" again.
I tried:
change modem (latest,oldest...)
downgrade of Ultima Rom and modem
upgrade until Ultima Rom V16 (4.3..)
pass to CM11 temasek unofficial V45 (4.4.2 GREAT ROM...)
pass to STOCK SAMSUNG ROM (with odin,latest version...my God,tried only for the test and quickly raging i came back to temasek)
used the same device with a different TIM sim
I did a deep wipe for new ROM installation,with Philz recovery...
NOTHING WORKS, the problem rest.
To Do:
try a different provider sim...for example WIND or 3 (for exclude a Provider problem...something related to communication protocols)
Try my TIM sim in another GT-I9300 always with CM11 temasek unofficial.(for exclude an HARDWARE problem...waiting for a my friend with the same device and rom)
Weird:
it seems that this problem is only in my home because from my workplace (another radiocell) i'm reachable also under wifi connection.
CALLED:
I called to my customer service TIM and they did a "format" of my sim and "account"...but nothing changes. They said that in my radiocell the signal is weak, they know that but they can't do nothing.
I REMEMBER that the problem began from the SWITCH from WIND to TIM,that not wanted,happened during an upgrade of Ultima ROM...
SO,the problem is of my device? Sim? Number? Provider?... WHAT THE H****?!
ANY SUGGESTIONS!?!??!

my guessing is that the problem is the sim card, probably damaged. you should try another sim card.
done yet, I wrote it I the "tried list" ... Another tim sim and the problem rest

yeah sorry, it was late and i was tired, didn't see that. well, it might be the antenna of the phone, you should go to a gsm service, they have the necessary stuff to point out the problem, even if it's hardware or software.
Could even be the sim holder .
I'm thinking that is an ANDROID or Modem problem related...specially with TIM communication protocols.
Is like if where there is a low signal,and you use Wi-Fi...device don't give energy to radio antenna,but to wi-fi. When you call or sending SMS,the antenna takes more power and the device is now reachable...
I should try a real old ROM with a real old modem...ufff...is all so boring -.- (i know,exist nandroid,but still boring is!)

if you have a rom with modem that changed your efs partition to efs v2 and try to flash a rom that has modem with efs v1 you will loose your IMEI and S/N , unless you have a backup of efs v1.

THANKS FOR REMIND ME THAT! I've the back up of old IMEI and S/N Really thanks!
A couple weeks ago my phone started acting up, loosing it signal often.
Restarts does not help, it may go everything from asap to many hours before it asks me for my sim pin code and connects me to the network again.
If i do not restart it will go everything from a few minutes to a day before reconnecting.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Wipe and reflash official firmware, if still the same then probably faulty sim carrier.

Okey, Thanks. Flashed 4.1.2 , but still got the problem.
Will order a new sim from my carrier then to se if it helps.
how about your baseband ？

baseband version‘s problem？if so ，you can flash a new baseband.
How do i know if it is a baseband version problem? Currently it reads I9300XXUGNA8
Any good threads to read about this?
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

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
IMEI 1: null

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