I am completely stumped after struggling with this problem for the last 3 days. I'll explain what happened in detail.
I loaded a custom rom for my phone, Liquid smooth rom, to be specific. I tried to encrypt my phone, but after 3 hours it only showed the bootloader and did not show any noticeable signs of progression, so I rebooted and factory reset to try and fix my phone, as it could not mount the internal sdcard. Factory reset did not work, so I downloaded a stock firmware version for my country and phone, from sammobile. A friend suggested that I try and get the pit details from heimdall, but heimdall could not. Friend then suggested that I reload the usb driver for the phone through Zega, and then try and try and print the pit details again. It still did not want to print pit details, and the stock firmware finished downloading so I just flashed it (first tried XFE version firmware).
Flashing went fine, cellular network did not want to work. I then flashed the custom rom, again, and the cellular network still did not want to work. I downloaded a different firmware version (XFA), and had the same result. I tried a factory reset, no result. I tried flashing again, no result. I eventually tried different combinations of the various firmwares available, no result. Today I also tried downloading a firmware version from April 2013, to see if it will make any difference, and no result. I tested my sim card in another device, and it worked fine. I tested a sim card identical to mine in my own phone, and the network still did not work. I tried various combinations of factory resetting, installing custom roms, flashing firmware, and nothing works. It does not want to detect my sim card, but before the encryption process my network worked fine. I also tried taking my sim out, and leaving it out for a while. I tried turning my phone on with the sim in, and it didn't work.
Any ideas, please?

What happened is you botched your device because you interrupted the encryption process. You could try to unencrypt the device. If that doesnt work then I am not sure what else to try. Mainly as the bootloader in now encrypted. Before you say it, No factory resetting doesnt remove the encryption.
Never interrupt the encryption process.
I considered that possibility, but the device works fine since I flashed the firmware. It is only the cellular network that does not want to work. Having flashed the stock firmware, it should be completely unencrypted, therefore all services should work fine, or at least so I thought. Has the encryption corrupted the device's ability to detect the sim?

No flashing the stock firmware will not unencrypt the device. Yes by having the bootloader encryption corrupted because you stopped it that most likely corrupted the ability for the bootloader to load the files for reading the sim card. I would also check your IMEI. If that is all 0 or n/a then that could also be another reason.

That got me thinking, and so I tried something. I encrypted the phone through the stock firmware, and then decrypted it. This made no difference. So I thought more about what you said, and if the bootloader is the issue, I should flash a bootloader with the proper files and that should solve the problem, if that is indeed the problem (and if that is possible). I haven't been able to find a bootloader than I am able to flash for my phone though.
I have a problem with a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) which belongs to a friend.
He wanted Lollipop on the device so I flashed an Unofficial CM12 from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/wip-cyanogenmod-12-t2936990
However he seemed to be experiencing some bugs with the ROM so he wanted to revert to stock ROM until more stable builds arrived.
I flashed the stock ROM 4.3 obtained from SamMobile but on this the SIM wasn't working. Same results were obtained by official 4.0 and 4.1.
I finally decided on the official CM11, grabbed the latest stable build and tried flashing it. But now the ClockworkMod recovery returned 'Status 7'. Repeating the process with device id verification removed gave 'Status 6'.
To get the device in working condition I had flashed Korean Service ROM by Samsung. This is working with the SIM card with a few bugs.
One other curious observation was while copying the CM11 to the internal memory. The copy window was dismissed before the green copy bar reached the end. I had to flash it with an external SD Card which seemed to have normal copy process.
This entire process has been repeated on a different PC with all fresh downloaded ROMs but gave the same results as before with the only exception of SIM recognition but no signal on CM12.
Any help would be appreciated to get the device working normally.
Hi,
but "SIM wasn't working" means that your phone is like a phone without SIM?
I had the same problem in the past with my old i9100 and in that case the problem was the non correct baseband (radio) and RIL (Radio Interface Layer).
If this is your case, you can try to flash the correct modem (it depends from your model and firmware version) from recovery or using Odin. First backup EMS folder (IMEI folder)...
I had the SIM inserted. And the modem is okay because the official firmware was of my country.

I understood that the SIM is insered but the phone is without signal as you haven't... so probably the problem is modem or corrupt EMS folder...
Now you are running stock firmware or CM?
i have a consumer cellular xt1527
iv flashed a few different surnia roms, but none detect a sim card.

I don't think that's been added to the ROM APN configs. If you could get me the apns-conf.xml and eri.xml from your stock ROM, I might be able to get it working for you. They are located at /system/etc/apns-conf.xml and the for eri.xml I'll need the framework-res.apk. I'd like to see the systemui.apk also.
I didnt back up my original rom (there were errors originally when trying to with twrp, so i skipped it), im trying out different stock roms now to find a working on.
EDIT:
UPDATE: 1/12/17
After trying every stock from for cc xt1527 I could find, and trying to flash modems, I finally just did my best to look down into the sim card slot, found it was missing a pin.
Problem solved, broken sim slot, wish it wasnt so hard to look in there. Next im going to pull the thing apart and try to see if I can fix it without soldering.
I recently purchased a HTC one M9 that had CellCom service but it worked with my Verizon nano sim card. I have s-off and am supercid i flashed verizon htc one m9 mm firmware had to be supercid before it let me do that. It booted fine but i noticed it wouldn't read my sim card so i installed twrp and RR N custom rom hoping it would fix it but it didn't. I now have unknown IMEI, Unknown IMEISV, unknown baseband, unknown Bluetooth address. Anyone know of a way to fix this where all my stuff will show again and it will read my sim card again? Everything else works on it wifi, camera, audio, ect. Please any help will be needed. I tried flashing the stock firmware that came with the phone from CellCom but after it flashes it gets a bootloop. That is through the sd card method in download mode of the 0PJAIMG.zip file.

I am not sure but try to flash stock rom which includes modem image.
OR
Flash the original firmware. (Which was installed when you received your phone)
Ok thanks. Think it would be better to try to flash in fastboot instead of using the sd card method?

Yes. If you know how to flash in fastboot mode then flash it in that way.
Same thing happen to me, its very simple to fix it, just download your phone's modem and flash it via Recovery, And thats all, make sure the modem is for ur device, else its ain't gonna work.......

Hello Guys, i have a problem with my RMN3 (Kate).
After i woke up and went to work my Phone doesnt recognize my Sim without any reason. I was on Custom Rom (MokeeRom) for maybe 5 weeks.
Didnt flash anything or played with the rom itself. It just wasnt working after night.
Maybe someone had the same problem or have an idea to solve this problem without flashing stock rom?
I tried to restore all my backups, flashed firmware, clean flash, switched sim Slot 1 and Slot 2.
Downloading Stock Rom right now an will flash it, if there wont be a solution.
Problem solved. my sim card is broken wihtout a reason. strange...
