This is strange - for the longest time I have never had a problem with my sim card, but lately when I install a custom ROM, it says that there is no sim card installed.
I reverted to the stock AT&T rom and that works.
I did the unlock procedure (oliprof 2.0, set cid to 000000), installed a custom ROM and and it could not find my sim card again.
I reverted to AT&T's and it worked.
Has something chnaged recently?
For a little while I was using a different phone. I don't know if that could make a difference?
Every time I flash a new ROM, the SIM is corrupted and I can't connect to AT&T.
SIM card was out before and during flash.
USB disconnected during flash.
The APN Settings are fine.
I even put a good, working SIM card (from another phone) in the device and I got service. I also put the bad SIM in the other phone and it ALSO got no service.
The APN settings are equal on both phones.
I had to go to AT&T and get a new SIM activated. I do not want to do this every time I flash a new ROM.

Bad luck. There is no way your phone picks and chooses what sim card to mess up after flashing (you said it corrupted your sim card, but not another one you tried?), and if it does you need to find a new phone

It did this on two different phones with two different roms (Darky 8 and Pheonix 2.5).

This is just highly unlikely, especially if you did everything you claimed to do (removing the sim card, unplugged during flashing, etc)
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?

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

How did you end up resolving the problem? What ended up being the fix?

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
Hy
I have a little problem!
I got a new sim card in my motorola milestone. But the phone keeps rebooting all the time! sometimes i am able to write a text but if i wanna call its too much and a reboot starts!
i have tried another sim card in my phone and it works!
i have tried another phone with my card and it works!
i dont understand if its a sim card problem or phone problem.
i have 2.3.7 kernel 2.6.32.9 cyanogenMod 7.2.0
does anyone help me out?
Tell your carrier that your phone keeps rebooting with the SIM card they gave you and they unless they replace the SIM for free, you see no reason to continue service.
the problem is that my sim card works in other phones.
Now i got my milestone back to the stock and it seems to work.
I think it was the cyano 7 but now without it my phone sucks!
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
