i have been running different roms and kernels on the note for several months, i recently put the liquid smooth cm10 rom on my phone everything was running well until i put in my sim card ( i have been using my 7.7 as my phone lately and just put in the sim card into the note ) it is asking me for a sim network unlock pin - i call rogers and they gave me 4 set of numbers but none of them work - i am not sure what is a sim network unlock pin - i thought the phone should be unlocked already ? how can if fix this - do i need to go back to a previous rom where i did not have this issue - ie. ics rom ? any help is appreciated
thanks,

Well, I'm not sure about the problem; if you are on a custom rom, it might be because of that, or incorrect flashing. Try using another ROM, and if problems persists try Stock ROM meant for your region. (it might be possible that you flashed a ROM for a different region and because of that you might have a problem..)
AND NEVER POST YOUR IMEI NUMBER ONLINE.

Thanks for the advice about IMEI number, i didn't think of that because i went crazy because my phone doesnt work.
I'll try with stock rom.
I flashed original stock rom on the device, but the problem remains. Does anyone know the solution, I am going crazy

pop your sim card out for 15 min. then put it
back in your phone.
In the second pic it is clearly showing 1 bar of signal
So how can you say sim is not being detected
No way out here

Did you notice the the SIM symbol with question mark inside it?
The phone acts like there is no SIM card inserted when it is inside all the time.

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 for 3 years now. I flashed different roms and did root my phone in all these years. But... now i received a new sim card which works well in other phones but NOT in my ace. So that must be a problem with my ace.. I just flashed back to the stock rom (XEN - Netherlands S5830XENKS1) via ODIN but the problem is still there, i can't use my sim-card: "Emergency only".
I already wiped data and cleared cache, hard reset... nothing works. What could i try to have my phone back working with sim card so i can call, sms and use my dataplan. My phone have no simlock i checked and the IMEI is also the right. The one shown by #06# is the same as printed behind my battery. I also received a new sim card from my provider, but this one also has the same problem.
I hope you guys can help me out! :good::good::good:
UPDATE 1: I tried differend sim cards in the phone. I always used to have T-Mobile as provider. All other simcards are not working, theyre showing up for a few seconds and after that it says: Emergency calls only. When i put in a T-Mobile sim card the provider keeps displayed, so it looks like my phone only works with a t-mobile card. But it's not sim locked, because i also used differend sim cards before..
UPDATE 2: Now my simyo simcard also connects and i can sms, call and internet. But after a few seconds/minutes again the message: Emergency calls only
WHAT COULD THIS PROBLEM BE??!!??! Strange.............. I really hope someone can help me out this

I think your device has a problem to make contact with sims cards, so your device have a trouble accessing read and use sim cards... You can send your device to the support service, to check or try to fix it...Have your warranty still in effect?

Hello, thanks for your reply! No, my warranty is not active anymore. My phone is 3 years old. Today i went to another city and could call and sms the whole day. No internet. When i came home, i received again the message: emergency only. How strange.. I also could'nt find a good rom or firmware to flash back my phone to the full original software and firmware... Can someone help me on that? I need the newest firmware for the samsung galaxy ace s5830, netherlands version. Or maybe a custom rom which is the most used and stable version. I would like to exclude software reasons, so it might be a hardware problem. But i think it's a software fault cause of the different roms i tried on the phone.

It's very strange.. here it is Netherland's fws, try flashing your device if you want, but I've never heard that strange problem xD
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-S5830&pcode=XEN#firmware
Always when you'll change your custom rom do the 3 wipes to leave your device as clean as possible
Thanks for your fast reply! I did this firmware already yesterday and also wiped dat and cache + recovery... The problem keops showing up I will try this same firmware again and let you know if there are changes or not.

You can also flash whatever fw you want from EUROPE, because your device is unlocked in order to check your sim's trouble

Again flashed the original firmware to my Ace. Wiped data and cleared cache. Everything works..... Except... the simcard. Can't call, can't sms and can't make an internet connection. So, still the same problem. The sim works well in another phone, and another simcard in the Ace gives also "Emergency call only". So it HAS to be something with my phone. Someone any idea's i can try / check now i'm very sure it's a phone problem with original new flashed firmware? I hope it's not an hardware defect......... how can i check?
UPDATE: The only simcard which works well is a T-Mobile prepaid simcard. All other simcards sometimes shows up, but most of the time not. The more strange fact is today: I went to another city and was able to call and sms the whole day. But no internet. When i came home, i received again the message: emergency only. This is so strange and makes me very sad. The phone is simlockfree, WHAT COULD IT BE So strange............
Tomorrow i had internet connection, could call and sms. My provider was shown on the screen and nothing wrong. But unfortunately just for a few minutes... No stable connection.
Someone any idea? :crying:
I too faced this problem once.....What I did is that I just formatted the system , wiped data , cache , sd ext and dalvik cache and then restored a backup of my earlier ROM in which the Sim was working ! And it was fixed....

Thanks for your reply! I did your trick but unfortunately... It did'nt help. Very interesting thing is, while i'm traveling around there is no problem, but as soon as i stop driving and walk around, the problems are back. Someone any idea on this strange problem? :crying:
cant access sim
until now this is problem...
why they cant fix this important setting
better to back to stock rom.
is does all are working
yeah CM's are good but still
many bugs and error
like this one.
not STK, sim contact save
and show in contact app
i hope they fix this one asap
You dont have any choice other than visiting the service centre. Yes they may charge you a good amount but seems none of the methods are working.
Also try contacting your service provider maybe thay know the exact reason.

Hi all,
I have a strange behavior with one Galaxy S1.
I bought a used S1 on eBay and flashed Darky Rom V11 Black Edition on it. After that I gave the phone to a friend. He inserted his SIM Card (Provider Blau.de). But the phone can't connect to the mobile network. So i inserted my SIM card in his phone (Provider Telekom.de) and it work.
So i put his SIM Card into my phone (also an S1 with Darky Rom V11 Black Edition) and it work too.
So I'm a little bit confused.
I flashed several other roms on his phone like DarkyRom Resurrection and Cyanogenmod 9.0 stable but nothing helped.
So all facts in short again.
2 Simcards A and B
And two Galaxy S1 with identically software (Darky Rom V11) 1 and 2
Simcard A in Phone 1 didn’t work.
Simcard B in Phone 2 work.
Simcard A in Phone 2 work.
Simcard B in Phone 1 work.
Does anyone have an idea whats wrong?
Greetings White
eryphyt Dolabella
first of all: stay stock
as for the sim problem, device might be simlocked
try this maybe /showthread.php?t=1360174
Hi Somator,
I will try stay on stock tomorrow. I tried the Unlocker with the nv_data.bin of the phone. It tells me that it can't find any VIDEOcard and ask me If i want that it patch the file directly. I clicked yes and it wrote a new file. But when I use Winmerge to see the differences between the two files there aren't any.
Have the same problem with my sgs1 .
Replaced my antenna went back to stock.
Flashed new modems.
Still ****ty connection

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?
