Hello
A few days ago I bought Galaxy Tab 8.9. The tablet works great except one problem. The device does not see my SIM card. No matter if my SIM is in or out when I try to enter Settings --> Mobile Network i receive this message: Insert SIM card to access network services
The device was bought from other (not my) provider (I bought it from second hand). Is it possible that the device is locked for other SIM card ? I don't believe it's locked because providers in Israel do not suppose to lock any devices, but any way how can I check this?
And if it is not locked how can i fix this problem?
My device info is:
Model number: GT-P7300
Android version: 3.2
Baseband version: P7300XXKHC
Kernel version: 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 8 09:34:49 KST 2011
Build number: HTJ85B P7300JHKK3
The device is not rooted and i still didn't change the CMR...
did you try reverse the sim card?
or put it back to normal phone still works?

Hi everyone
The problem is solved. I don't really know how, but it works now. Maybe I didn't put the SIM card right before.
Thank you all for your tips

Hi everyone,
I have a desire C which was originally on the 3 mobile network, I unlocked it successfully to work with other sim cards and was using it on Orange for a few months.
I have also rooted the phone following the original nameless thread & installed the nameless ROM onto it. This works fine with the ORIGINAL 3 mobile sim card but not with any other sim card. AlI get is no service showing. I cannot make or receive calls, however data works fine (with or without wifi).
I have tried the following:
turning airplane mode on and off, also usin the *#*#4636#*#* (or whatever it is!) thing to get to the test menu and turn off radio and back on again.
Wiping to factory reset
Re-installing the rom from the phones recovery "install zip from SDcard" menu, - also installed the revolution 5en5e rom
IMEI Shows the original IMEI from the phone
If I go to my available networks list it shows me the EE (orange) network, o2 Network, Vodafone network & 3 Mobile network, but no matter which one I select it says your sim card does not allow connection to this network.
I've also tried to change the way it connects from auto to manual and vice versa, but each time it says unable to connect to this network at this time, please try again later.
I just cannot get it to give me signal unless its on the orignal sim & i'm sure the signal is worse than the stock rom.
I'm assuming it's a radio issue?? only assuming as I would have though I would have the error of invalid sim/network locked etc, but I don't know enough about it really.
So currently the phone sits with the following installed:
Android Version:
4.0.3
HTC Sense Version:
4.0
Software number:
ReVoluTion 5en5e Edition v1.0
HTC SDK API Level:
4.2.1
HTC Extension Version:

I hope someone can help & if you need more information please let me know!

Try unlocking your SIM again, but while on the new Rom?
Make them boys go loco!
Hi,
I don't get the option to unlock the phone as it accepts the sim, just gives me no signal. Before I unlocked the phone it used to say something along the lines of sim card not accepted, you then had the option to put the codes in to release it from its carrier.
regards,
lee
I had the same problem with my SIM card. Phone is unlocked but one day I see that I don't have any network signal.
So I snoop around trying my friends' SIM cards on my phone and they work.
Went to the office nearby and told them what happened. They said its a malfunctioning SIM card and change it for free.
Now i didn't notice whether I have data traffic working but it resolved my signal problem. Hope this helps.
I've tried 3 different sims on organge and o2 and have the same issue
I've called three mobile (original carrier) and they advise that there is no barring or anything on my profile.
I think I will try to reflash to factory and try again.....I cant think of any other way.

Flashed boot.img & installed the "untouched__rom_v2.0eu_dcplx1" from this site and it does the same thing!
Does anyone know what else i can do?? or have a three mobile rom I can try?
Lee
Ok, managed to speak with three Tech support again, turns out my profile is not ok.
My phones imei has been blocked by........wait for it.........o2!!!!!
they are speaking with the fraud team and will hear back this week. How bizarre.
I don't understand how another network can block my imei from being on other networks apart from the original one? if it's blocked it's blocked surely....
ah well, will wait for the call back and post up with the outcome.
Lee
Spoke to three today who advise the phone is not blacklisted like they originally stated as they have spoken with O2.
They say there is nothing on my profile to block it and it should work.
I don't know where to go on this now.
Can anyone help please?

I have an i9305 (label under battery confirms model as GT-i9305, FCC ID A3LGTI9305) which I bought many months ago via ebay. It was supplied unlocked and came 'unused' in a T-mobile branded box with T-mobile/EE UK firmware.
As I was on Vodafone UK at the time I flashed it to a stock Vodafone firmware via Odin and it worked fine...it also worked when I moved to Three UK. I've just picked up an EE SIM however and I can't get the phone to acknowledge or connect to 4G. (I've flashed again to the latest stock EE firmware I9305EVRMBF1 and still have the problem).

Rooted with CWM recovery installed
My SIM works perfectly and shows 4G when installed in my girlfriends i9305
APN is 'Internet' with APN of everywhere and username eesecure, PAP authentication;type="default, supl";IPv4;unspecified bearer
Network mode is 2G/3G/4G (auto connect)....but at best I get the H+ icon when connected
Given the uncertain provenance of the handset, is there any way I can/should confirm it's the right model with support for the right frequencies ? Potentially more worth a try is reflashing with a factory reset and cache clear.....I didn't do this with either of my Odin-based flashes so far
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/suggestions.

Try APN "everywhere"
CM has the following settings, which I assume work:
<apn carrier="EE Internet" mcc="234" mnc="33" apn="everywhere" user="eesecure" password="secure" authtype="1" type="default,supl,dun" />
Possible wrong CSC .

Surely if it wasnt an I9305 you would have bricked it intalling an i9305 firmware

Hi All!
I want some help, please! I have an Xperia X8. If i insert a Sim card, asks for the simcard PIN code, i enter PIN, then nothing happens. No menu, no desktop, only i can shutdown the phone. I don't understand what the problem, because the phone must ask me the unlock code if foreign sim inserted, but it not asking me.. I tried with 2 sim cards, the two sim cards are working on other phones. The phone was worked with my brother's simcard till now..see the attached picture. That looks strange...i just wanna know how can i fix that..
Sorry, other data:

I already tried flashing 2.1.1.0C...and repair with flastool. Don't helped (but simlock.ta not flashed)

Does it starts without sim normally?
Try to remove pin check from settings without sim , & remove simcards pin in another phone
If you've done these before,Download a fresh frimware and retry flashing or repair using sony update service.
And wait for other people's answer cause I haven't faced or seen this error before

Hi,
I solved it myself, if somebody need:
I re-locked bootloader with s1tool, inserted SIM card, then updated firmware with flashtool, then with 0.9.11 (!!!!) version of flashtool i pressed BLU button, then wait. Just started the phone, and network back!! )
Hello guys,
I bought a shattered-screen D4 off eBay for spare parts. It was listed as not booting, but it actually boots fine. The problem is it doesn't recognize the SIM and as it was wiped before I got it, I can't get anyhow get inside the system. I tried Airplane mode, but still the initial SIM unlock is needed to get inside. I can get to settings though.
Dialing *#06# or looking into settings shows the correct MEID/IMEI.
I tried switching the SIM & micro SD part from my working D4 to this one, to no avail. If there is a HW problem, it has to be on the main PCB - but it doesn't seem to be broken anyhow.
ADB shell won't let me into most folders including data (not rooted ofc):
Code:
C:\>adb shell
127|[email protected]_maserati:/ $ ls /data
ls /data
opendir failed, Permission denied
I can browse contents of sdcard0 via USB Mass Storage - not that it would help though.
Do you think there is a way to root the phone and install safestrap?

hi LuH,
I hope you will still read this. I have exactly the same phone, with exactly the same problem (does not read any SIM, at least italian ones)... did you manage your D4 to work? Was it sim-locked or not? I don't get any messages from mine...
Thanks!

Sorry to disappoint you, but I never got it to work (and didn't really try as this was a second unit for spare parts and testing that wasn't even supposed to boot according to the ebay listing) in GSM. Everything is fine except it doesn't recognize SIM. I tried switching the piece of PCB with SD and SIM terminals with one from my working phone, to no avail, so I suspect something's wrong with the main PCB.
I don't think it's any kind of simlock - that would have gone away when I sbf-restored it IMO. I suggest buying new unit, or claiming warranty for this one if applicable.
What I tried to solve here was how to get past the activation screen (which doesn't work without SIM, it requires it to be inserted for activation) so I can root the phone and install safestrap and flash different ROMs - which can be done using the 4-corner trick to skip activation.
Aha, many thanks for your answer ... at the end I sent back the phone to the vendor, as it was clear that the problem was the PCB/SIM slot. I suppose that a little number of D4 was defected in production, as some other people reported a similar problem here and there...
Hope next one will work

I tried with different sim card same problem. It shows out of service and unknown network with different sim
Is the IMEI really the same as on the cover of the Note box. Maybe there was a problem and had chsnged.
Sir .......I am also having same problem in my GT N7000 since last 3 times. Last two time, i had to spend 1500 buks at karol bagh. This time again i am facing same problem. Whenever i tried to call any number i got following message "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK". However, wifi internet is working good. My IMEI number have changed bcoz number behind battery and *#06# are different.
I have also gone through previous posts of this forum. I downlaoded Odin-v3-09. and selected PDA file (INU-N7000DDLSC-20130311113640). But problem not solved. I am a learner and not aware about much technicals.
