[Q] sim card not detected in custom roms - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I have installed 3rd custom rom that is based on galaxy s5 user interface and thus is the third time I am facing the same problem. Everything runs fine but this doesn't detect my sim card. First I flashed flashingdroid faced the same problem then i flashed efextreme lite v5.0, in this at first the camera wasn't working but solution for this problem was mentioned in the original thread itself. So I flashed the given kernel in the thread and the camera was fixed but again I lost my signals and it said that insert a sim card.
Now I flashed hypermax v8 and again the problem is same, "Insert sim card".
What can i do to fix this??
Please help!!!

Standard-question: is IMEI, shown in 'info', the same as on the label behind the battery?

For IMEI it says "unknown".

Then don't focus on SIM-card but on restoring IMEI / efs-data. Read the recent posts over these items here 1st...

Thanks for your suggestion.
As you told me I did read the latest threads posted here but unfortunately I didn't find anything helpful. As it is I am not concerned with the original imei as far as my phone is working. Also it was working with efextreme v5.0 as mentioned above but after flashing the kernel given for fixing camera i lost the network. Earlier i was using cyanogemod 12 but due to lag and FC'S I had to change the rom. But it was working fine if you ignore the FC and lag however I don't have any idea about what my imei no. Was.

If you find calling and receiving calls belong to a working phone, you've to follow boomboomer's advices for restoring efs-data. Don't understand, why you don't find it, but there is no better.

Could you please share the link.

ONE link is useless. Go one level higher to Q&A and enter 'restore efs' or 'restore IMEI' in 'Search this forum'. Then pick at first the short threads, which are answered by boomboomer. So you'll get an overview and solutions.
(There are also long threads with witchy procedures and only little chance of success. Not very recommendable.)

I have the some problem like you could you get a solution

[Q] [ASKING] Korean Samsung Galaxy S III SHV-E210K USSD Code Running Problem

Hello everyone!
I'm from Indonesia. I have this SHV-E210K for about 3 months, and it is stressful knowing that I can't check the balance credit. I have search in any forum, and whether it's in XDA or any forum, it's still don't have the answer.
I have read that in S1 I9000 you can just disabling mobile tracker and USSD code will work again. But in this time, it's different matter. I can't use the method from I9000..
There is known problem in my Galaxy S III SHV-E210K with JB 4.1.2 or before at ICS that USSD code won't work. I faced this problem for many days and was unable to use some GSM services like balance checking etc. Normally in other phone, I can check it with just dial *123#, now since I using SHV-E210K the code won't work, so I must change my USIM to other phone to registering the data package or check my phone balance etc.
Please some one help me! I really need this answer! :crying:
*my Samsung Galaxy SIII SHV-E210K never being rooted, it's still official from the first time until now.

Hallo Senoir Member.. I know there is thread about SHV-E210K, but not the page like T-mobile or any SIII with its carrier, so looking the answer from the member from SHV-E210 forum is too hard. :'(
Thread SHV-E210 is too silent, not like the others which is always crowded, link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710084
ok I will move it to the Q&A

Use the search button in the future.
The thread is sufficiently popular for it to appear in Google (since the in-forum search has been disabled).

1. Post questions in the Q&A section, otherwise the police will be here soon
2. Look at the stickies and especially at the FAQ thread in the Q&A section, anything described there.
wow. there's a link to the rooting guide on the main page of the i9300 forum.

[Q] No network after Odin flash

Hello all,
I live in The Netherlands and I had bought the Samsung Galaxy SIII from a telephone provider in the Netherlands.
I had an official ROM for the Samsung Galaxy SIII and everything worked ok.
It was working on Android 4.1.2. and I wanted to flash it to Android 4.3. with Odin. It was the first time I ever flashed something in my life so I was very happy that it seems to turn out well.
But I discovered that I have a big problem on my hands know because my IMEI is completly gone, my phone number has become unknown and my network is gone too!
I still can use WI-FI on my phone but that's it!
Does anyone has any idea how this can be solved?
I am aware that there are simulair posts here with this subject but it didn't help me so for that reason I desided to post a new one for this issue.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] GALAXY S3 I9300 ENERGY HD 2.0 (no network available)

Hey Guys
New to the forum and having just installed the Energy Team HD 2.0 ROM I am finding a little issue. It seems that the ROM I installed does not contain the correct Modem Info for my version, as I am unable to access my service providers network (ie GSM).
Thank you for any help you might be able to give
If you need further information let me know.
Cheers,
Nicolas

Sorry about that thanks for your reply I will check it out
Can not find anything on the issue that concerns me. I am not having an FM radio problem so it's not that
Sorry if I am a little slow but your help would be greatly appreciated.
I simply have no service after flashing the Energy HD 2.0 ROM on my I9300
Thanks a million,
Nicolas
There can be many reasons for no network, wrong modem is unlikely as most (not all custom roms leave your existing modem). Are your imei and serial numbers intact, APN and network set? Has your handset been tampered with previously, e.g patched for efs problems or lock patched?
Try reading the efs 'know this stuff' for more clues.

[Q] Samsung GT-I9300 lost IMEI

hi everyone,
I know this question and many people have asked the same question, but I've tried every route going to recover MY official IMEI number instead of a generic 0049 number.
I've tried rooting my phone, run CWM, downgraded my firmware everything but for the life of me I just cannot get it work, my question is:::
can I or is there a possibility that my PIT file might be fouled up as well as my EFS file?
my second query is.....
is it at all possible just to entirely wipe my phone clean of everything, partition as well and start all over a fresh flash?
My Samsung galaxy s3 GT-I9300 is international as I live in the Netherlands, my current firmware for my phone is: 4.3 jellybean.
I've used Odin3,Kies3 and to be fair nothing is working, so I hope that there is alternative and that is it possible as I've tired every other street to fix it, to format my phone completely of everything and start again.
thank you in advance and I hope someone can help me
