Hello,
I got this problem with my s3 that it doesn't recognise sim card. I tried to replace whole sim card slot but it still didn't work, and i allso plugged the sim card slot from this s3 to another one i have and it worked, so it is obviously not a problem with card slot. I allso tried to factory reset, but because i couldn't find factory reset option in settings, i did it in recovery. But that somehow bricked the phone and i had to reflash rom with odin. But the problem was still there. Do you guys have any ideas how to fix this problem?

i have multi sim cards... that mean 1 have 3 different sim cards with the same phone number.... i tried already all my 3 sim cards.... and the problem is still there...
i9300 bought from newegg.com in october of 2012
Running 4.1.2 and then rooted
I have never flashed a mod on this phone
Intro: Was using the phone and reading articles. Pressed the home key to switch between windows but the screen froze. I depressed the power button until the phone rebooted again. Phone has rebooted but now a No SIM insert SIM card message is now visible.
I have tried:
restarting the phone: No sim message still appears
removing the sim card and reinserting sim card: no Sim message still appears
Placing a thin piece of paper between sim card holder and sim (in case metal surfaces were not touching properly) : no sim message still appear
replacing sim card with another sim card from a family member's phone : no sim message still appears.
My other options are formating the phone?
Sending phone in for repairs?
any other suggestions?
Please help i take really good care of my phone. First time anything like this has happened.
I have looked at other posts but they all have some customized mod or have remedied their situation with a procedure that did not work for me.
Backup data then factory reset.
jje
Update:
Factory reset phone via volume up+home+power key. Then selected factory reset
Phone reset but still "no sim insert sim card" error persists.
Update on sim being used:
Sim used on my phone is detected and usable on another family member's phone
Family member's sim will not work on my phone: "no sim insert sim card" error persists.
Anymore suggestions?
note:i'm leaving the country april 1st. Does anyone have idea on the time lapse of sending a phone in for repairs?
Check imei to see if it is corrupted
update:
dialed *#06#
successfully retrieved
IMEI
(15 digit number) / 01
Check with the box or phone sticker to make sure it hasn't corrupted to generic imei
IMEI identified on phone and IMEI retrieved from dialing *#06# are identical
Choice is to wipe phone and install stock rom or take to a service centre .
Possible hardware fault on the sim reader .

Might be worth getting a new SIM card

I've inserted current sim card into a family member's phone. Sim card is detected and functional.
I've replaced current sim card with a family member's sim card. "no sim insert sim card" message persists
Can we rule out software problem now?

Please confirm:
I have factory reset phone. What are you referring to by wipe?
After i successfully wipe phone
I will then proceed to reset binary
then re-install stock rom
I would do a backup then flash stock Rom again with Odin
Thanks to both of you for your concern and help
UPDATE
I am so embarassed
One thing you could do is see if any of the SIM slot pins are bent, you will need a needle/torch/magnifying glass, saw someone with similar issue recently that found his was caused by slightly bent pins, so worth a check

if i knew how to properly install the sim card on these new phones I wouldn't have a problem. Apparently Galaxy s3 has a locking mechanism that is confirmed from a clicking sound heard when the sim card is installed correctly. DOH!!

Ha ha.....thanks for the confession, made my day
I have a galaxy note i717r. I have been having troubles with the sim card not being recognized at all. I purchased a new sim tray complete with sd card slot. I replaced it and it seemed to work. After two days however the phone once again said No Sim. I purchased yet another sim card tray and tried that but wasnt able to solve the error at all this time. Please help if you know of the solution.
ps: I have also reformatted, reinstalled firmware, rooted it and tried titanium backup fix, and installed "vanilla" firmware to see if that would help. Nothing fixed it.
Good Luck

I just went through this same problem. After I replaced the SD reader my phone still didn't work, so on a last-ditch effort I used the KIES utility available at KIES -> Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initiation. This reset to the phone to full factory specs, just AT&T's updated android JellyBean 4.1.2. This worked and I was able to see my SIM card and get on the AT&T network.
Of course, afterwards I had to reroot and reload all custom software.
If you do this, make sure you have the latest version of KIES.
Good luck
Hi guys
I have a big issue with my S3 GT I9300. This morning, everything was running well and suddenly i got the error message "No SIM card, insert a SIM card". I didn't try to flash any ROM, or put any root or something. I was on my desk, the phone was on the table and when i checked it a few minutes later : no network and SIM card error message...
Until now i was on I9300XXUFME3 ROM. I tried to clean the sim card, the sim card slot, push the sim card while the phone was turning on (maybe it wasn't touching correctly the pin), but still getting the same issue. My IMEI is OK, still the original one (no 00 or 0049, etc).
That's why i decided ot flash a orginal ROM and flashed my phone to I9300XXUGMJ9. Flash is OK but still getting the network issue (no sim card inserted)..
I couldn't try my phone with an other SIM as I was alone at the office but i guess the issue comes from the phone as my SIM card is not old at all (i have it for 6 months only) and I don't remove it often from the phone.. Until this morning, my phone (bought it from someone 6 months ago= was working perfectly and I didn't flash it since May 2013, so I don't really understand..
I also tried Ariza's patch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601) but when I press "Apply fix", it starts downloading and stays at 0%.. Nothing seems to be downloading.
Any help would be very greatful guys, thank you.. :crying:
Don't go flash crazy, you'll do more damage with that patch.
Sounds like your sim card reader is faulty, not an expensive item to have repaired.

Hello,
I just went to an Orange store here in Paris and the issue was simply a deffective SIM card.. They replaced it by a new one and got the issue fixed
Thanks a lot guys for your kind help!
Hi guys, i have similar problem, i tried different sim cards, none worked, tried changing the whole card reader with a brand new one, but it didn't fix the problem.
everything started approximately a month ago, or even more, i tried rooting the phone after applying the update but i missed up and almost killed the hone, after allot of effort i managed to bring it back to life and re-installed the firmware update, but the phone started giving me the "Not registered on network" error, and the IMEI changed to that 0049 thing, then it started telling me to insertsim card.
the thing is, before all this happens I had no idea how to important it is to backup, so I have no EFS backup
so, any ideas what could be the cause? and how to fix it?
so yesterday i was on my max 2 just playing a game when suddenly a messeage popped up in the notifictations about "no sim card detected" so i tried to remove the sim and re insert it but nothing,tried to switch roms with a reset and still nothing,anybody help?
P.S:the phone was shipped with only one working sim slot but i dont really use dual sim so i didnt care but now it dosent work and im scared that this is a hardware flaw

What is your provider? I have the same issue with a Sim card of the German Telekom. After 3 weeks of use it stopped working. I put in my second Sim which works for the moment. So the Sim slot is OK.
the sim works with other phones
Same problem, my sim was broken after 2 weeks.
I get a new one and phone works fine again.
Try to flash this zip via twrp
Same problem here... I have flashed andr68rus patch, but it does not work.
Problems start after flashing SmallEUI. Now I have flashed back the stock 20S and make a full wipe (including system) before. But there are still no SIM cards are found. When the phone is powered on and I open and close the SIM card slot, it found SIM card 1. but not second one.
After a reboot SIM card 1 is gone again. I have to open and close the SIM card slot again.
Any idea? Is this only a strange coincidence and my phone is defect or does smallEUI change something in the firmware or baseband files?

Maybe, but I experienced the same thing, also with small EUI, IIRC. Pulled my sim and put it in the wife's phone, and it worked ok, and hers worked ok in mine. Put mine back in my phone, and no dice. Flashed stock20s to try to fix it. At one point, I re-inserted with power on, and it was recognized, but my LTE went away. Was like that for a number of hours, and suddenly, after a couple of reboots, it seemed to come back to life.
Currently on AOKP MM, and I am floored by how nice it is, compared to everything else I have tried. I seem to have an issue with USB file transfers, and the LeEco camera doesn't work, but I've never seen the phone perform like it does now..

It's happened with me too. Do you find a solution?
It seems that the second SIM card is really broken. I test it in two other phones and they will not detect it too. When I remove the second SIM, the first SIM ist detected normal.
In my case it seems following problem: https://www.golem.de/news/defekte-s...en-die-probleme-fuer-oneplus-1603-119620.html
i runned into the same issue after flashing CM13 from TEAMSPAIN
After flashing CM13 from teamspain, my sim card stopped working. I flashed many other roms but couldn't make work. Then i downloaded the official rom from leeco website and after installing it, everything is back to normal and obviously my sim card slot is working again.
works with oreo ?
