Samsung I9000 doesnt recognize sim card - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody.
I got this weird problem with my cellphone. I have an international I9000. after factory reset my phone doesnt recognize sim anymore. I tried it with other sims too but my efforts were not successful. I tried flashing with other roms but again nothing happened. what am I supposed to do now? have you ever had the same problem?

Manual setting of network details or a new sim .

Hi I had the same problem with my I9000 might be a different cause but its worth a try. Iv had it in tje past with other phones so I apolagise if I start abit basic but I dont know how tech savy you are not to nention we all sometimes overlook the basics.
first the basics. if you havnt already done any of there.
clean your sim, wipe the contacts clean then use a dry cloth or tissue and ensire it is dry. while the sim is out take a look at the sim slot check the pins are in the correct position so they are streght and not too far inside the housins to contact the sim properly.
if all is clean and good and it still dosnt work i would reccomend testing your sim in anothere phone even if locked most phones will at least say 'sim rejected' , 'wrong sim' or something along the lines also if possible test another sim in your I9000.
Now the gritty bit if your sim workes it is most likely 1 of 2 things soft wear or hardwear which is why I asked to check the pins above if it is hardwear and the pins look ok I cant help but bellow it a solution to softwear caused problems. in my case the cause was a corrupt modem file it can also be caused by a mismatch between the modem,csc and PDA files you can check your file versions *#1234# i cant tell you which pda goes with which modem but im sure it can bd found.
solutions to softwear issues. the easy way is to use kies if you rom is can be updated or if you can trick kies into updating. the other more risky way is to use ODIN I down loaded a stock XXJPO with seperat csc modem and pit then used kies to update to XXJPY but it wotked again as soon as ODIN flashed the XXJPO.
In short use ODIN to reflash a rom ensure you use the full 3/4 file method there are only 2 differand pit files but use correct MODEM, CSC and PDA i found myne in the genral section

Do you have a backup of your efs folder? If yes so place in the right folder and restart your phone. If not you're lost. Sorry.

The efs folder is containing your emei and there is no way to reconstruct it. But there is a thread about here on xda. Try to find it, because i know some has been lucky.

NO signal after flashing with odin and sim inserted ! help!

So i reflashed my rom with odin but i forgot to take out the sim now the phone says no signal even when the sim is not inserted. I have tried to flash again with no luck.
Originally i was on jm5 i re flashed to JM2 (this time with repartition) but no i have no signal. Have i broken the phone?
anyone pls!
I had the same problem.
The youtube videos all tell you to only input the PDA file. After flashing only this, everytime I started up I wouldn't get a signal. I thought I had an expensive paperweight on my 1st day.
However, try flash ALL the files at the same time. CODE_XXX goes into PDA, then MODEM_XXX into PHONE, and CSC_XXX into CSC. Make sure they are all ticked, select re-partition, and set it going.
Be warned that some of the later firmwares are Russian, but once your SIM is in and recognised it should automatically change the language to English.
This fixed my problems, haven't been scared to flash since
If this doesn't work, you can always just flash the old PDA of JM5 back. That originally fixed the problem for me, before I had the guts to try it all over again.
It worked1 i love you.
I'm sorry to reactivate this topic, but i have the same issue as well. I tried flashing a stock rom on my SGS but after it was completed, i couldn't get ony my network (Orange). I tried also flashing Darky's 8.0 and still nothing. Even with Hy2teria's suggestion. I don't know what else to do.
Please help me!
Regards
LE: After removing BOTH the SIM card and the SD card, the phone connected to my network succesfully. FYI
I have the same problem,please my i9000 is brandeed tim italy no sim lock and i flashed the 3 files tim original froyo tim,other rom gingner stock hard reset not solved help me link for this rom...and procedure

thanks friend i flashed much rom stock and hard reset not solved
make sure via secret code *#06# if there´s an imei still showing, if so make sure it is the correct/original one. If the imei is not showing or it is a different one, you got a real big problem. I know of no solution in this case other than sending it in.
Hopefully you backed up the efs folder prior to flashing. If so, find nv_data.bin and drop it into the /efs folder found in the root directory of the internal sd card.
If you hadn´t backed up the efs do this: delete (!) the nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 in the /efs folder. In the same folder there should be 2 files with the same name and a .bak at the end. These are back ups, too, which will be restored after a reboot. If you are lucky the .bak-files aren´t corrupt yet and will restore the correct nv_data.bin.
Hope it works for you

[q] no base band after flashing

Hello every body,
I have a little big problem, i flashed my samsung galaxy S with I900XWJM5 from samsung firmwares.com
And after flashing my phone loose his BASE BAND so i can not call anymore, i inserted my simcard but the phone don't detect it.
I checked phone information and discovered that BASE BAND VERSION was " unknown " !!!
I tried to flash back to original firmware the I9000JF3 but same thing. I tried to flash only the MODEM part but still samething.
I called samsung technical and they told me to check in ODIN the case " Re partition " and flash again. But in Odin when i cheked the case " repartion" the flash hangs on " don't plug off target "
I tried to flash with a new computer under win xp, but same thing i can not do " repartion " with Odin
My mobile is not simlocked when i bought it, is my phone network dead ? PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME ?
Did you try updating the firmware through Kites? Also, try flashing it again with ODIN, after selecting all the 3 files - modem, code and csc.
You need to try with "Re-partition." until it works.
Also make sure you are using a 512.pit file.
and do not forget to take ur battery off and put it back before you try to run ODIN...

You would have to do that to remove the SIM anyway.
Make sure you remove SIM and SDCARD.

Unrelated, but what is the reason for needing to remove the simcard (I have never done so)
Thank you every body for your help
befor this problem i use to flash with Odin 3 firmwares and had no problem.
But now i can not tick the case " Re partition " to solve the problem. I called samsung technical service and they told me to do a full " Re partition " and flash again.
The problem now is that i can't do repartition, because the flash hangs at " don't take off target" and nothing happen.
may be the phone had serious problem with memory, i had to sent back to samsung after service .
Thank you all
I have the same problem. I have flashed many times with different firmware versions, but it didn't work. My phone couldn't attach network, I couldn't see neither IMEI nor Baseband version.
try just flashing the modem file until it works
the modem file is what controls the radios

During the flash it may take the SIM as part of the hardware and ignore it once it's done flashing.
You'll have to reflash without the SIM to get it to work again.
It's not a real issue, but if you are failing with Odin I highly recommend sticking to those recommendations.
Also remove all usb devices other then phone, mouse and keyboard. Had heaps of flashing problems due to external hhds sucking power while flashing. Now works 90% of time for me. Next thing you do is find a xp box and try again.

I've got the same problem. I am able to get JM8/JM4 (Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2), and then whenever I try to go Froyo (JPM or JP6) I always end up with baseband unknown I did remove the sdcard and sim card - still the same thing, is there any solution to that thing ?

csc unknown??

I had loads of problems installing jpu and basically had to give up on using odin . I eventualy got it installed bit by bit and its working fine. My only problem is the Csc shows as unknown, will this cause any problems or do i not need to worry .
do you still have a network signal? if yes, then csc unknow should not really be an issue and more of a nagging annoyance of you seeing it as "unknown".
you can get your CSC back though BUT this will do a factory reset of your phone meaning all the apps you have installed will be removed so please back them up first.
all the necessary details you need are in the first few pages of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163
The automatic method will work for you. I am on JPU as well and it worked on me
Yea I have a signal and the phone is the best its been since buying it. The more I think about the trouble I had putting jpu onto the phone I'm just going to leave it until the next MAJOR update is available.
Thanks for the reply.

[Q] GPS died from flashing?

When I flashed my phone with a popular custom firmware everything worked fantastic, so I flashed a friend's SGS as well, but the GPS simply died, in applications like Twitter and Maps it's like the GPS function is off.. I've now tried 3 different roms, they all work om my phone but the GPS is still dead on my friends phone... Can someone please tell me what is wrong and even better - maybe have a sollution to the problem?

I doubt the GPS is damaged by a flash. More likely something on the system got corrupted. Try a factory reset and/or a full flash with partitioning, using Odin.
Flashing has messed up some files more than likely popular custom rom no guesses which one .
Flash to stock rom to see if that fixes the problem.That fails take it to a Samsung Service Centre .
ODIN METHOD

What version/ROM should I install via ODIN, that will work when I activate re-partitioning?
The one in the post Eclair first then latest JPY .

Samfirmware says "1 file select NO .PIT", should I download the right PIT and ignore that message? I understand that a .PIT is necessary for a Re-Partition?
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE POST i gave you the link for .
Samfirmware is not mentioned in that post .

Hi! I had the same then I found that assisted GPS was turned on and the mobile network is not everywhere supports it.
Check with this: *#*#3214789650#*#* at Application Settings check Operation Mode. It should be standalone.
But of course it can be anything else... And you can check the debug logs with adb too.

[Q] Please help! Can connect to mobile network but not make calls!

Hi
Not sure exactly how ive managed to do this, but il try to explain.
I got a i9000 from a mate that was locked to orange uk,
I updated it to gingerbread via kies as it had eclair on it, rooted it, then sim unlocked it. Everything was working fine at this point.
I played around with a few different roms until i found one i liked (miui)
Everything seemed to be working fine, was registered on t-mobile could browse the net. but then when it came to making calls it would hang up straight away, within 2-3 seconds of pressing call!
Since then ive reflashed it meny times thinking its probably either a rom of kernel issue, but still no luck.
just to clarify, it made calls ok after sim unlock, it still connects to t-mobile and i can still browse the net ok
If anyone has any ideas of what i could try please reply
Cheers Rod
I think u haven't put the phone and csc and pit and pda files to their place. U've put phone with pda and viceversa.
try flashing different rom with 3 files... i hope that will work
the only rom i could find with 3 file was an eclair one,
i assumed i still gotta use the 512 pit file with that?
tried swapping the pda with phone and it failed half way through
heres the files ive got and where i put them
s1_odin_20100512.pit = PIT
MODEM_I9000XXJG1.tar = PHONE
CODE_I9000XWJG5.tar = PDA
CSC_I9000OXXJG4.tar = CSC
U can flash darky resurection. U can find hole package with odin and all.
