[Q] No SIM card in phone

OK guys... I usually lurk, but find myself now needing help.
In an attempt to help my friend, I was going to root his phone and install a custom ROM. The phone is a 1010 build and I forgot to remove the SIM when performing one-click-root.
Now the phone will not recognize the SIM card. I don't think the SIM is bad because it won't recognize mine either and my card works in my phone.
I followed the instructions for 1010 builds back to JH2 and the SIM is still not recognized. The phone came with JH7 installed, but I figured that the SIM would be recognized after booting into JH2.
Can anyone offer assistance?
Thanks.
EDIT: His SIM works in my phone. Just thought you might ask.

Bump please

I had this happen in my old Tilt lol. Try backing up the sim from your phone and if not, you have to get a new sim.

The SIM card still works... just not in this phone. It works in my captivate. I think I am in trouble here. <slaps self> That's what I get for rooting company phones. :\
If anyone knows something that I can try to get this phone to recognize the SIM... please chime in. Right now I am back to JH7 rooted.

verify that you have the right modem in it and check the APN settings

Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: I897UCJH7
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
How do I check the APN settings?

Sorry... can't verify APN settings if SIM is not detected. Looks like I'm hosed. Thanks for the replies.

APN shouldn't affect recognizing the SIM. Are other SIMs working with this phone? You may want to try either a master clear, or downloading the ODIN version of 2.2 stock to see whether they will recognize SIMs before returning the phone.

Try a rom! Or kb1 or ji6 try flashing like everything to it, hopefully that'll do something also go to settings>privacy>factory data reset and make sue you backup first

Yes i know. My sim card still worked in my captivate just not my tilt, all you need to do is go to at&t and tell them your sim card isnt working. They should be able to transfer your contact and get you a new one. But this just a last resort, try these guys suggestions

You can get apn settings by pitying your friends sim in your phone

even new apn settings wont load if its not detecting the old sim. i ran into this but didnt fix it. got replaced. different situation....
i had this after a noobish bad flash where i odin'd to phone instead of pda.
i lied my ass off and got the phone replaced that night, as i NEEDED the phone THAT NIGHT no time to play and fix myself. that was by bad! now i flash at night only when i wont need my phone for hours.
you dont need to take out your sim to root. i never have. i use oneclickroot 1.7.
so im not sure what you did to screw it up.
but if someone elses SIM works in your phone then that means the phone is fine. AND if your SIM doesnt work then it means your SIM doesnt work!

[Q] Galaxy S i9000 Sim Card Not Recognized

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S i9000 International Version, and I'm in New Zealand. I was running Darky's Rom 10.2 RE, and I tried updating to 10.2.2 Final. I did something stupid, I think I might have had my lagfix on, but I managed to bootloop. I reflashed to a Gingerbread ROM that I had lying around, but my SIM card was no longer recognized. I tried another SIM card, which also didn't work. My SIM card worked in another phone though.
I had a look around, and my IMEI number was still right, so I backed up my EFS, just in case I killed it. I then flashed a local stock Froyo rom, VNZJP3. Still no sim card recognized. So right now, I'm on a Stock Froyo rom, rooted, and I have no idea where to go.

did you flash the roms with sim card in the phone? That could have been the problem, that happened to me.
I took my phone back to shop where i got it and they replaced the sim card and problem fixed.

I did indeed. Other SIM cards don't work in the phone though and the SIM card works in other phones.

FWIW this happened to me (also on a Darkys ROM oddly enough)
After initial panic I simply reflashed the ROM and all was fine.
Silly question but have you enabled all the services (like use packet data etc)

I did reflash my rom, no dice. Also, my services are definitely enabled, but it doesn't actually recognized the SIM card.

Check that the into your phone is displaying is the same as what it is written on your phones box or something!

I never remove the sim card when flashing. Maybe " airplane " mode is ON.

[Q] Samsung Captivate unlock not working?

Having some serious issues with my phone. I downloaded an unlock app and it said that the phone was unlocked but when I put in my new SIM it keeps giving me a SIM not provisioned MM#2 pop up. I changed the APN settings for what straight talk requires and the settings are saved but it still isnt working. Do I need to unfreeze the phone and how do I tell if it is? What do I have to do to get this thing to work? :crying:

Did you root your phone first? If not, this will help. Read the full post before you do anything.

Which unlock app did u use ??
Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz from the Play Store is well known and used.

Also, try this app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731931
Even though it says SGS 1/2/3, if you select the GT-i9000 as your phone and give it your nvdata.bin file it will give you a code that will work. At least it did on my Captivate.

Try relocking you're bootloader after reverting to 2.1 and then unlock again if required..

[Q] Invalid SIM card error/SIM network unlock PIN request on boot I9305

Okay, I posted this question in the I9300 Q&A section by accident (was a bit distraught, didn't read the section title properly), but for some reason a mod appears to have deleted the thread instead of moving it, so here it is again in the correct section.
So after using my I9305 for about 8-9 months now, I woke up this morning to find my phone nonoperational. The phone requests on boot a "SIM network unlock PIN". If this window is dismissed, the pulldown notifications drawer states "Invalid SIM card" with subtitle "Network locked SIM card inserted". Quick Googling reveals that these notifications and errors typically show that a phone is locked to a specific carrier. Now that's understandable, but this phone is unlocked, and I hadn't even taken the SIM card out until this error occurred. The SIM card works just fine in another phone.
I've tried rebooting the phone (first port of call), and using the code *#197328640# in the dialer to SIM unlock as per this post (but I didn't have "[4] NW LOCK NV Data INNITIALLIZ" as an option). I tried using "busybox chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin" in terminal emulator as root, after seeing this post, but it came with an error of "chown: /efs/nv_data.bin: NO such file or directory". So... how bad do things look? And no... I don't have a backup of my efs. =[

Since then, I also tried *#06# in the dialer, and my IMEI is intact.

Try another sim first

Nope, no dice.

Are you totally stock rom or custom?

Stock standard 4.1.2, with CF-Auto-Root.

Maybe try flash a stock pre-rooted rom by lriquidperfection with odin and try the *# again?

Tried various different stock ROMs and factory resets, nothing.

You need to flash a 4.1.1 ROM, or at least a modem from such a ROM.

Tried flashing several 4.1.1 stock ROMs, no luck either.

Not sure why doing anything with the battery would be in any way related with the SIM. I also forgot to mention that I had already tried cleaning the SIM card at the start with alcohol. In any case, the SIM card works fine in another phone, so it appears that there isn't problem with the SIM card. In any case, I managed to RMA the phone, now the long wait to get it back...

i not joke with you
i have same problem with you 5 month ago with copy battery

Got my phone back from the shop today. Kept an eye on the shipping tracking when I sent it out, and they sent it back out half a day after they took delivery, so I'm guessing they used a SIM unlock code since it's definitely my phone that I got back. Didn't have to pay anything, so I'm happy. Still not sure why/how the phone decided to lock itself though...

I had the same problem. In my case the phone had been fine for almost 3 years.

I suddenly have this problem too.
