Hi, I own a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 and I just finished rooting my device and installing the Slim Bean rom and the Gapps. Everything is working well and without any problems except the SIM card, it seems like the device wont even recognize the SIM card, I've been told theres a problem with the IMEI, and when i type in the phone app *#06# it just says IMEI and thats it, i have no idea what to do or whats the problem, so please if someone can help me i will be so thankful!

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?
Hi i have had the same problem when i flashed my phone, if you have a backup you need to copy the EFS folder back onto your phone as it contains your phone info emei modem details, if you do not have a backup then you will need to find the original rom for your phone, do a search for EFS and EMEI on here there is lots of info on this problem. good luck and the best of regards....
thank u very much buddy I have tried flashing with xxjpu but the problem still exists. what do u exactly mean by original rom?
Help me please guys
hello guys,
Firstly let me state that I am not a very technical person.
Here is the problem,
I have the above phone on Eclair 2.1, plugged it into Kies and Kies offered to update to the latest firmware which is obviously Froyo 2.2.
Everything went fine, the phone rebooted and it appeared that the software had installed correctly. However, I noticed that I could not get any signal, not just that but the phone is now stuck in flight mode.
When I go to Wireless & Network --> Mobile Networks it does not even let me into that option. It says "Insert Sim card - Insert Sim Card to access Network Services".
On top of that, when I click on About Phone --> Status there isn't even an IMEI number!
I have tried to rollback the upgrade, tested the sim card in another Galaxy S (it works fine) so I know this is a software problem.
Does anyone out there have any advice so I can get my phone working again?
regards
Chris
Remove sim card and sd card then factory reset then set up as a new phone would be my first step .

Hi there,
Firstly thank you for your help.
That step did not work, I just tried it. So what would you suggest now?
I was thinking of re-installing the firmware again...thing is Kies won't allow me to do this again as it already thinks the firmware is up to date.
This is a really bizarre problem...any further suggestions?
Thank you in advance
Two choices one take it to Samsung for repair as Kies broke it .
Second choice would be to invalidate your warranty and flash basic stock rom via Odin this would be at your own risk .

Hello guys, i'm new in this forum.
I've recently bought a used Samsung Galaxy Note, factory unlocked. It came with the 2.3.6 version of android and it worked perfectly. But today, i've upgraded it to ICS by KIES (i'm a mac user) and it doesn't recognize my sim card (It says emergency calls only). The phone isn't blocked and it works perfectly, except from that.
I've tried factory resets and everything, and it doesn't work.
Then, i've downgraded it to 2.3.6 again and guest what: IT WORKS!
But then, i upgrade it again to ICS and it doesn't work again. It's not a sim card problem, i've tried another ones and they don't work neither.
Please help me asap, i'm in 2.3.6 now because that's the only way to call in my phone...
Regards from Sevilla, Spain.

There are some threads abt sim unlock in "general" section if I am not wrong..just go through it & u should be able to make your sim work on ICS..
Lol for galaxy s unlock in the play store
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
lol, when you boot in ICS do you get the sim pin unlock screen?
cause if you dont there is a fix for that which has nothing to with being locked.
Hi I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 a couple of days ago, it is an international factory unlocked version, now my problem is that when I inserted my new micro SIM it doesn't detect it, one thing I noticed though is that aparently Im using and Orange ROM so I dont know if that's causing the problem, the version of android is JB 4.1.2 the latest build, so what do I do? (Note: I cutted my SIM to make it a Micro SIM but Im sure I cutted it right it fits perfectly and I didn't cut the chip) please help me with this I want to use my new phone

try another sim and see if the problem is gone if another sim card works its ur sim
try another Rom and see if the problem is gone
and also check the IMEI and also tell me where u bought ur device
and if none of this then its the sim tray
Thanks for the reply I'll try everything however don't you think that its strange that the rom is not allowing my micro sim to be recognized? Is there any way I can check if it is truly unlocked? My IMEI numbers match perfectly ( the one you see trough android and the one you see on the back of the phone)

there is always that problem which u can't predict in android
i don't know of such way but if your not check galaxy sim it unlocks the sim
well that is good cause if the IMEI didn't match on both means someone changed it and it is illegal to do so
Hello I have an unlocked samsung ace. I got him rooting and I installed a custom rom. Everything works fine but now I placed a SIM card from another provider. The phone starts completely without error but I have no network. The SIM card is good because he does it in other phones.
Does anyone know the solution?
