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!

Did you flash it back to stock with the one click Odin or did you Flash Jf6 manually?
Try the one click Odin ROM.
Yeah, try flashing back to stock with Odin One-click.
Also, is your SIM card in correctly? I know, I know, but I have seen that happen, it's worth checking out.
If you tried flashing the latest I9000 froyo build try and contact Zilch. He had the same issue. But he figured it out

Yes i used one click odin jf6 rom & i tried manually jh2 rom and still have problem...ive deleted everything and flashed back to stock 3 times. Phone still wants a network sim unlock code, i contacted at&t and there stumped aswell they want me to get warranty exchange through samsung...any last ideas before i do that?

No i think it had been out for a bit, but where is the thread that u are talking about?

Alright, so I have lost track of the # of hours I have spent trying to solve this problem. I have a Samsung Captivate originally purchased from Rogers, and a Rogers Sim card. I flashed a custom rom onto my captivate, which was good but still gave me some problems. I somehow ended up when clearing something in the rom getting into a bootloop, so I could no longer access my phone.
I used Odin to go back to stock, but my phone gives me the "no sim card in phone" issue. I checked by putting another sim into my phone..same issue, and I put my sim in another phone...and it works fine..so it is not my sim card. I did *#7465625#
and Network Lock is on. I even flashed to Rogers froyo rom, since I am using a rogers sim card, but still get that problem. None of the market tools for unlocking the phone give me any codes...what should I do..?
The SGS Unlock tool from the market won't work on Froyo, as far as I know (I haven't bothered checking to see if it has been updated in the past few months, but it was a 2.1 only thing the last time I checked.)
There is a froyo unlock procedure in the development section. Have you tried using that after flashing your Rogers rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831569
Edit: Oh yeah, make absolutely sure you back up /efs before you do anything, or you'll have your face ripped off if the procedure doesn't work for you.
Helroz has put out an app on the market to unlock 2.1 and 2.2 phones Havent tried it yet.... worth a shot...
kind of confused. I mean, I originally purchased my phone from Rogers, and my Sim is from Rogers. I am not sure if it was always locked to rogers, but it just says "no service" and doesn't recognize that I have a rogers sim card. even if network lock is on, shouldn't it still recognize my sim? The methods you have posted have not worked for me. Perhaps I should see if I can get an unlock code from Rogers themselves. If I could do that, would that solve the problem?
Also, if I somehow managed to get an unlock code for my phone, where would I enter it? Would I have to relock my phone to rogers? Could someone explain how I would do that?
Did you try a factory reset from the settings?

I have done a factory reset before, but i'll try doing it right now...see what happens.
ok I just did a factory reset...still telling me there is no sim inserted even though there is..any other ideas?
Alright so finally everything is showing as "OFF" including Network Lock but it still will not recognize my SIM. i did another factory reset but still no luck. Any other ideas??
What does it say in your APN Settings?
Can't access APN settings. infact, just going into "mobile networks" gives me "insert SIM card" even though it is already well-inserted
Sorry - I meant to say mobile networks - brain fart
[EDIT] The only thing i can think of would be to check the pins that contact the sim card... see if those somehow got damaged. Also check to ensure they are clean, blow out the sim card holder and if needed give the pins a wipe to clean them up and try again. If all else fails, try to get your hands on another sim from the same carrier and see if it works. If a different sim works, then yours is hosed most likely...
It's okay guys I managed to solve things in the end! thanks for all your help tho

I wonder...I just couldn't bring myself to pose the question
for self-pride(not that I have any left after spending god knows how many hours searching in a hex editor for non existent damn unlock codes) I refuse to state how i resolved my issue -______________-; (cough). but THANK YOU ALL for your support anyways! I have definitely definitely learned from this horrible mistake.
bet it was inserted backwards
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.
I went to stock GB from an ICS ROM, and then to Helly Bean. Everything seems to work fine except any kind of networking. I cannot connect to 3G or AT&T's stuff (text messages, calls, etc.). I can connect to my wifi network and use it. In the Settings on my phone, Baseband Version and IMEI are unknown. The only thing in my efs folder in Lost and Found. I have no backups, as I wasn't aware that this problem existed.
Not sure what to do. Right now I'm leaving the SIM card and battery out for a few minutes, and then putting them back in to see if that helps. I'll probably flash a modem as well. Any suggestions? Any known fixes?
edit: Tried the battery removal and modem flashing, neither worked. Now going back to stock.
Edit2: going back to stock did nothing. I tried another SIM card, and that one also does not work.
I went back to stock GB again (third time now) and it's now recognizing my IMEI, but I still can't text or call.
Check your APN. And don't forget to backup that efs folder...just in case.

It's not letting me look at the APN settings because it still doesn't detect a SIM card, only my IMEI.
Anything under Baseband ?? If not try flashin a modem through Odin.

Okay, I was definitely having a legitimate problem earlier, before I flashed to stock. At some point in this repair process, my SIM card ended up in my phone upside-down.... woops.
Thanks for trying to help me 4-2ndtwin.
Ooops...sh** happens lol.
Glad u got it fixed !

This thread most likely has to answer.
Check your APNs to make sure they match your carrier's.
Check your IMEI to make sure it matches the one with your phone. If it's not the case, you'll need to go back to stock KK4, backup your efs folder with a app that has root rights (like ES File Explorer) and restart the falshing process.
A good backup would be suggested before going to stock!
same problem baseband is unknown and imei is null. help
Hey guys,
I'm new to this and I have a issue with my phone. This is what happened; I rooted my Exhibit 2 using the instructions on here and proceeded to flash cm10. I backed up on CWM on my phone then proceeded to do a system wipe and flash the ROM. Once it downloaded, I did not have service. I flashed to Slim Bean 4.2.2 and then back to stock ROM, still no service. My IMEI number is intact, fyi. I really need help. Hopefully this salvageable!
*Update* I forgot to mention that my phone won't recognize sim card. I put it into older phones and says Sim SOS, basically no service still. Help greatly appreciated.
well if your sim doesnt get recognized in other phones you may need to get a new sim
What usually causes sim card to end up like that?
i have no idea never happened to me but i would go to tmobile or whoever your carrier is and get a new one. might be 5 bucks and give it a try
So got the new sim card. I now have service. It says I have 4G but i cant download apps from google play or use internet. So this makes me think that there is a problem with either the radio or my EFS. Any suggestions?
Do you guys think I need to get a new modem/radio? If so any suggestions?
after getting my new sim card i couldnt download either, i had to wipe cache with cmw then it worked
