Hey everyone,
I'm running an unlocked vs985 with RR 5.8.4 nougat. Just recently I restarted my phone and the SIM was not detected, I restarted a couple times, wiped cache/dalvik but nothing worked. Then I tried swisscarter's method of flashing xdadebs 3.1.1, wipe, flashing RR and gapps, flashing the 35b bootstack and then modem, still nothing worked. Now after countless retries of the same process, my phone has switched from unlocked to locked? Sometimes on refresh it gives the message that the phone is locked to a carrier(probably verizon), sometimes it simply doesn't detect SIM and says invalid network type(-1) in settings. When I dial #*#*4636*#*# and go to phone information, it shows my radio has switched to lte/cdma/umts, and if I try to switch it back to GSM it doesn't stick, just resets after I leave the menu. What's going on here? How can I set it back to GSM unlocked?? Thanks!
a lot of people are having these issues, check out this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/lg-g3-sim-card-frequently-readable-t3404106

Lets start with the device: Motorola Photon (sprint) had a bootloader unlocked, root and CM7.2 rom (v. 2.3.7).
Today I put a new sim card (that works fine with other phones) and when I turned the phone on and went to change the apn and operator network, iv noticed that there are both missing.
All I have is new options about CDMA network (CMDA/EvDo) and changing roaming of CDMA (Home , Automatic).
Tried any combination, nothing helps...
I also tried other sims and also the older sim Iv used few minutes before, same problem...seems like the phone has locked again or something.
When I turn it on there is a "unlocking" message while the motorola logo shown, so I have no idea what it could be....
Im not from the U.S so I cant connect to their networks....
// also there is no "insert sim card" message, so the sim card not the problem.
Anyone knows what could be the problem? there is any way to 'reset' the operator settings or something.. or any other way that won't need to 'format' the device .. ?
Thanks!
Well, I tried to wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik-cache, then install the same rom again.. seems it dosn't help or done something...
What else could it be?
Should I wipe something else and try other rom?

Iv also noticed that the IMEI has changed to MEID...
Hi Everyone,
I recently rooted and installed CM13 (20160606) nightly on my i9300. At first everything worked flawlessly, but last Thursday (16th June) I lost signal and have not been able to get it back since. In case the circumstances for when it happened could have an influence, then here is a bit more details from around the time I lost signal.
I was having signal and the mobile data was working fine, as I was running low on battery the phone was on battery saver, when the battery hit 2% it had signal and I didn't look at my phone after this. As I came home, I immediately plugged in my charger and at the same moment my phone shutdown due to no more juice on the battery. When I started up the phone again, it had no signal.
I've tried to clean flash the same nightly again, clean flash newest nightly (20160618). I've also tried to flash other modems without any luck. APN settings have been double and triple checked, deleted, setup and triple checked again. I've tried to downgrade my TWRP to 2.8.6.1 from (3.0.2-1) and flashed the nightly - No luck.
Here are my system details:
CM version: 13.0-20160618-NIGHTLY-i9300
Baseband version: I9300XXEMG4
IMEI: 35299...........
IMEI SV: 01
Sim Network: Unknown
Signal strength: 0
Cellular network type: UMTS
Service state: Data: Out of service
Cellular network state: Disconnected
I think this could be related to the incidence when I lost signal, after battery power out, as this was working fine up to then for 10 days.
Let me know if I need to provide any more information or if you have any ideas what I can try to restore my signal.
When I go to search for Network Operators it finds two, when I try to register to the one which is not mine it says my Sim card doesn't allow this. When I try to register to my actual carrier it takes a long time and it comes out saying "Can't connect to this network right now". My signal strength in the about section is "0". I'm not sure where the problem is, if I have 0 signal, how can I find two carriers?
I got back to Android 4.3 by sammobile ROM, after flashing patched XXUGMK6 kernel and modem, I now have a signal. But, I'm still unable to connect to my carrier. My IMEI and S/N match those under the battery. After searching my carrier shows up in the mobile network list, but it fails to register to the network, and goes to have No Service and says the selected network is unavailable.
Solved. I went through basically everything I could dig on the internet, not sure exactly what did the trick.

can i ask what did you do? :< im on cm13 also, did you flash new update of cm13? or clean install again?
So, I've had a lot of problems with my phone lately, including a semi-brick for a while. After all this mess, I had to do re-partition, fix WiFi and stuff like that.
Recently, my only problem was no service after inserting SIM card in CM12 (basic stock ROM using Nubia Tools, repartition using official 2.03 ROM from NeedRom & finally CM12 for Nubia Z7 Mini from NeedRom). SIM card was fine but there was no service, I've tried re-inserting it, I've tried different SIM cards etc.
The issue went like this: phone crashed and "turned off" after inserting SIM card. It wasn't really off - Windows was detecting it as several storage disks (?), and it was heating up after a while. Long press of a Power Button made it reboot to system and it was running fine, but only without SIM card. SIM card made it freeze, heat up and the issue was happening all over again.
Currently, I've tried to fix that by flashing latest Resurrection Remix. Now, phone is stuck at "emergency calls only" - it tries to find service but without any luck. I've read that it might be an issue with bootloader - that there is some script that is trying to run, making it unable for the SIM card to grab service. The phone is really heating up with SIM card in it, but it definitely detects it and it tries to find service without any luck.
Maybe flashing only modem would do? But I can't find it anywhere.
What can I do to fix it? IMEI numbers are fine, on their right place.
I have a Jiayu S2 double-SIM phone, running the most up to date official ROM (4.4.2).
This ROM had a couple of bugs (no GPS and no notifications to external devices such as smartwatches), so I wanted to check other available ROMs. Using the Flash Tool I have tried a couple of the ROMs in the needrom site (https://www.needrom.com/category/jiayu/s2-jiayu/). In particular, a couple of versions of the official ROM, another ROM known as Salamander, and an unofficial port of Cyanogenmod 12 (in which the camera was not working).
The issue is that, for some reason, at some point my phone has stopped getting phone signal. The SIMs ask for the PIN on startup, but there is no signal. I have reverted to the original ROM; plus done a factory reset, and I could still not get signal.
The APNs for both SIMs are fine. Then I have realised that the IMEI was empty. Luckily I had it written down, so I have installed Xposed and the Device IMEI Changer, with which I have been able to restore the IMEI. Now I can see the IMEI on the Settings - IMEI information, as well as with *#06#.
But still, now with the original ROM, and with the IMEI restored, I still cannot get phone signal. I have tried setting the phone to flight mode, restarting, selecting manually the network... When trying to manually select the network I can see several networks, but the phone will simply not connect to the one it should.
Any idea on why could it be that I cannot get phone signal? Thanks.
After trying everything, including restoring the IMEI with Xposed, I have finally managed to restore cell service by restoring the IMEI with this tool: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptotel.chamelephon
Phone displays "Network Locked SIM Card" Inserted after flashing a stock firmware
I recently uninstalled Magisk, and was able to only boot into download mode after. So, I downloaded a stock firmware for my s9+ 965f and flashed it through odin (using AP,BL, CP, CSC(didnt select HOME CSC). But after rebooting, the phone displays "Invalid SIM. Network Locked SIM Card Inserted".
It asks for PUK code to unlock the phone and the cellular service alone is not working now. My phone is already region unlocked and I have been using it for the past 8 months. Has anybody got this issue and any suggestions on how to solve it?
Previous OS: soldierx rom for 965f v12 on Oreo
What I did,
i) uninstall all modules in magisk,
ii) uninstall magisk,
iii) phone auto-reboot
iv) Now phone stuck in download mode. Cannot boot it
v) downloaded stock firmware G965FXXU2BRGA
vi) flashed through Odin(AP,BL,CP,CSC)
vii) Phone completely formatted and boots up.
"Error:Invalid SIM card inserted. Network Locked SIM card detected "
I am now being asked for PUK code or cellular service wont work
You need to contact your carrier for PUK code, its protective measure against too many wrong PIN attempts on specific SIM. Can't fix that with any flashing.

This is where the problem is. You put any sim card in that phone, you get the same error. The sim card works fine if I put in any other phone. I am not sure but unistalling Magisk has caused "SIM Card Read Error" in my S9+. I even upgraded to Pie from Oreo and flashed 3 different stock firmwares but the sim card error exists.
@topjohnwu
I would appreciate if you can help me on this. Not sure how to fix the issue
Looking up the error message itself points to some sort of network/carrier lock. If I am reading regional lock and carrier lock definitions correctly the two are not the same..
Did you have the phone network unlocked or was it network unlocked when you had root installed? If the device was network unlocked when it was rooted and you flashed back to stock (which removes root) this might explain what is going on...

This is an unlocked phone. I had magisk installed and when trying to uninstall it to upgrade to latest magisk, the device wont boot except download mode. So, I downloaded stock firmware and flashed it. Once I boot up with the new stock firmware, I get this error
There is some sort of lock on the phone, which is why your being asked for the code.
I think you should definetly try was what was suggested above.. trying to contact the carrier and see if they can give you the PUK code. If I recall correctly you get a few tries to enter it correctly before it won't let you anymore (and it might lock the phone up good or damage the sim)
I'm having a similar issue on a Verizon A50. Any progress?

depending on what method was used to unlock it, its likely no longer unlocked. some sellers of unlock codes neglect to mention that part. im betting its locked again
