I've got the similar problem. My phone says "please put the sim card into the phone". This happened after I flashed Juwes 5.1 custom rom. My IMEI was corrupted after flashing, then I managed to restore it after I edited the nv_data.bin. Now I have an IMEI number, but the phone cannot recognize any simcard.
Reflashing to the stock rom with Odin doesn't help. I've already tried XXJVQ, now I've got XWJVI. Neither hard reset nor flight mode helps. I've already tried to delete nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 and reboot, but result is still the same. I cannot find any tipps for solution. Have you got an idea what could I try?
Here some information on my phone:
german version, not branded
*#06# shows the right IMEI
*2767*4387264636#:
Sellout SMS Off
Pcode: GT-I9000HKYDBT
Mode: Prod
*#1234#:
PDA I9000XWJVI
Phone I9000XXJVO
CSC I9000DBTJV2
everything seems to bi OK but it doesn't work. I have already found a topic in your forum about SIM initilializing bug, and somebody suggested to flash the following ROM:
(Rom) I9000 Hybrid / No TouchWiz *9/7/2010* for I9000
but its no longer available. EFS backup doesn't exist, as I deleted it some days before That was a big mistake.
Now I have to stay without my phone over the weekend

Hi,
There was no need for you to flash to stock ROM after installing Juwe's ROM 5.1. I am currently on the same ROM and faced the same problem. All i did was flash the JVQ modem via odin and my device recognized the SIM card. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply. as I'm now on stock rom, I've already flashed the stock JVI with phone and csc over ODIN. But this didn't solve the problem.
The problem is solved, After restoring my IMEI I was stupid enough, to put the sim the wrong way into the phone Now its working. Thank you guys.
hi tuteary Vtd, what do you mean by "uproom"?? i have the same problem, could you please give some more information about your solution?
thanks,
sami

Corrupted /efs folder. If flashing to stock ROM didn't help, then it's over, you're stuck with no GSM, and possibly all other wireless features (GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi)
Sorry to hear that, but next time flash ROMs that are tested by other people and are reported to have no problems. Yes, it can happen with every flash at any given time when you don't expect it, but I'd rather go for tested "safe" ROMs. Unfortunately, for those who are scared, I can't seem to find a way of backing up the /efs folder on Galaxy Mini!
Anyway to backup efs without the use of pc.

[Q] Mobile Network Not Available

I have this galaxy mini (GT-S5570), it was network locked to "H3G, Italy", I unlocked it by extracting the bml5 file method, it worked for some networks though but not all the networks. Then I flashed some other stock firmwares through Odin just to check if all the networks works but no dice, they didn't. I then flashed back my Original stock firmware downloaded from sammobile.com and since then my mini don't show any network, i have tried different sims but none of them works now, phone is unlocked though, it just shows a sim card with (!) and when try to make a call it says "mobile network not available", efs folder is ok it shows the correct imei. I have tried flashing different roms with different modems even updated the firmware with kies but no luck, Please any solutions will be highly appreciated. Pictures attached.

-Which firmware should i flash ? (Currently i am on my stock firmware)
-where should i download multiple package firmwares ? i downloaded few but they were all "one package firmware", so there is no way not to flash modem.
-thanks for your response.
i got 4 packages firmware including modem, actually on my pc. it s european firmware though (it s like xwktn). i downloaded it long time ago. i ve found it on some web when i was googling about upgrade 2.3.7 ... or something, i dont remember.
those package help me so much, fixing my sd card, unbrickin softbrick, even downgrade to froyo.
well, it must be somewhere on internet or here in xda (i ve read some thread bout it).

I have tried around 10+ different firmwares of different regions, networks didn't work on any of them. do you think flashing any firmware without modem would work ? if yes can you please upload that multiple file package firmware ? i searched but couldn't find any with multiple files.

just a guess, try cleaning the pins in ya phone where the simcard sits, or maybe loose pin.

i think you can extract the single package ROM .zip then you'll find 3 .md5 files.

Please .. Need Help To Recovery EFS files for Note 5 (N920C)

Hi All ..
I have a problem with my Note 5 (N920C). I flashed my phone with official rom without taking a backing up for /efs files. Now I have IMEI number installed on my phone but the GSM Network is gone. Is there any way to restore the /efs files that can help me to using my phone ??

Flashing an official ROM should not mess with your EFS. What do you mean you lost your GSM network? Have you checked your APN?

The ROM I was using was flashing with cloned IMEI after flashing my N920C with fresh version of official ROM the GSM network is gone and when I install my Sim Card it is shows only "emergency call". I checked while the IMEI is gone or not and saw it is still there. I need a solution for activate GSM network and see GSM signal. Some of my friends said that my ./efs file is corrupted so I need patched ROM that can fix my ./efs file automatically after flashing. Is there any why to recover it ?

I understand your situation now. As far as I know there is not a way to recover your EFS. I could be wrong. I have heard of others getting their EFS back after flashing official firmware. You may be out of pocket on a repair. Good luck to you.

I am sure Samsung can fix it. You will have to pay though. You could also try searching for efs recovery because you might get lucky. I do not know a whole lot about it but from what I have seen, if flashing official firmware does not fix it you are out of luck. I am not sure about future releases of ROMs that may fix it.

Thanks for your replay. I fixed my phone and its working now. I did these steps:
1- Untar the official ROM.
2- Delete Modem file from the rom.
3- Re-tar the ROM.
4- Flashing using Odin.
5- Fixing EFS by repairing it using z3x box.
Thanks again :fingers-crossed:

Simcard not detected

Hi,
I have a n9200 Chinese version of the note 5.
I recently tried to flash a custom ROM on the device because I wanted to try nougat, but seems like most of the stable ROMs don't boot on the n9200 or something not working (2nd sim slot e.g.).
I decided to do a restore in TWRP of my stock rom.
However, the SIMcard isn't detected anymore.
"Insert SIM card" message appears if try to click on 'mobile data'.
I did a full restore of the rom, including radio, so shouldn't everything be as before?
I did also try to flash other ROMs, but the problem remains..
Do You have any advise of what to do?
Is it worth trying to flash the modem in Odin?
I assumed that it restores the modem if I do I restore of the radio in TWRP.
Ok. So I have done some research, and I came up with two possible causes to this problem..
1) I bought my phone (n9200) region unlocked, could the lock have been reactivated when I loaded a new rom?
2) I did a back up of my stock /efs partition before flashing anything.
However, I cannot find any .nv_data.bin in the efs folder... Could this be a problem? Are there phones without this file?
Would be grateful for any help. I have tried flashing different stock firmwares through odin, but the problem remains...
You should try ODIN flashing the stock firmware you were using when you first flashed TWRP. Bringing it back completely to stock including the stock recovery might set things straight. If this does not work you might need the PIT file for your device for flashing in ODIN. Best of luck.
Download the latest firmware for your device and flash it via the latest version of Odin. I had a similar issue where I flashed a custom ROM and lost service completely. I simply flashed back to complete stock. I got my stock firmware from sammobile, may take you a while but it'll be worth it cause you can then keep that file and always have a stock backup handy. Do it all the time.
Help plz

Did any one fix this problem???
Yeah, I actually solved it
It never worked to restore with Odin. SIM card was never recognized.
I did however download an official Samsung application (think it was smart switch).
I could do a factory restore of my n9200 through that application and its fixed the "no SIM issue".
i hope it will work for you too.
