I've been using CyanogenMod 10 on my Galaxy S i9000 for quite some time, and accepting the offered updates as they come in notifications. I used to use the experimentals and nightlies, but since the stable releases, I have only accepted them. But since the last two updates over the past two weeks, my phone now has the problem with being unable to save APNs and giving a message of No SIM Card. I understand these are related issues and was suggested to try APN Manager Pro to insert the APN data, but it won't even run, so I took the refund. SIM cards are ruled out as it gives the same message with 3 different SIMs that work in other phones.
I was advised to check for a good contact with the SIM card, and that checks out. CM advised checking to see if my radio file needed updating. When I first converted to CM, it took me a really long time to find a baseband that would work with this phone. So I have remained on this TUBJP9 for the couple of years that I have been running this phone on CM. GetRIL said I have RIL XXJVT, which I understand is the stock RIL for CM10.1. It suggested I match the modem, so I just now installed the XXJVT modem to match the RIL.
Since the phone won't work with 3 different SIM cards that work in other phones, it has been suggested that I simply have a hardware failure. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Inserting Sim card in the wrong direction and Sim card holder getting damaged (contact pins twisted or broken) are quite common in Mobile phones, you need to eliminate them first.
since this happen on updates of a sudden (as you indicate) , its unlikely sim card changed direction or sim contact broke. I hope so, but no harm checking
so the easiest way to eliminate the problem is to downgrade it to Gingerbread Stock ROM and check if this problem is still there, if it is than likely you have a hardware problem . you can try this or switch it with JVT gingerbread ROM with re-partitioning
or if you had an earlier gingerbread nandroid backup, try restore.

I got your problem too..i've flashed few times my stock rom. Try to remove the sim before using odin and add it later.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
I was reluctant to go back to stock, but thought I had better in order to eliminate variables. Unfortunately this resulted in an Odin flash failure even though I included the pit file to account for the differences in partition layouts. So I was forced to go back to CM and accept that I have a Jelly Bean media player, or wifi phone at best. Having set it aside for a while, I was cleaning house and found an old out of service SIM. When I tried that, I no longer got the No SIM Card error. This was really irritating because my good T-mobile SIM also did not work in this phone, and when I took it in to the customer care center, they wouldn't listen to me about the possibility that a marginal SIM will work in some phones and not in others She simply took my SIM and said, look, it works in my phone and sent me out the door. Also I thought I had tested 3 good SIMs in this phone, but one of the SIMs I thought was good actually doesn't work in my other phone either. Still, out of 3 SIMs that work in other phones, only the one I just recently found works. I've heard of this kind of problem before. I just wish the customer care center would have humored me and let me try a replacement SIM. Then I wouldn't be out the $175 I spent for a replacement phone.

Hi...recently...I have been getting the following message on my ATT Tilt..."smartchip not allowed." Along with this message, I have no cell service/connection.
To restore the connection I have to either turn the phone off and then back on...or cycle the phone thru the flight mode and then back on..
does anyone know why this is happening??
This really never happened before...and its kinda frustrating since I can't receive any calls until I cycle the phone.
Thanks.
Are you using a custom ROM?
Are you using an Unlocked Kaiser?
Are you using a different GSM provider(T-Mobile)?
Are you as cool as Fonzie?

I am using a Unlocked Kaiser - unlocked via the Kaiser Sim Unlocker. Not using a different GSM provider...still using ATT.
And I am in NO WAY as cool as Fonzie! ...
help!
Same thing here: Smartchip Not Allowed
I'm also using an unlocked Kaiser, and got the same message starting a couple days ago. Can't figure out why I can't connect all of a sudden
I received the same message a few times in the past week. Its mad annoying, once my phone has been off for whole 20 minutes until I realized that this error came up. Went to an ATT store, the lady gave me some bull**** about them "working on it".
Have any of you asked at&t to replace your sim card???????
I get the same error. I had AT&T "send an update" to my phone. That didn't help. They sent me a new sim card. That didn't help. They did a warranty exchange on my phone. That didn't help. I'm convinced it is some sort of problem with their network, and they don't seem to know about it.
I'm using an original shipped ATT Tilt with the now stock ATT 6.1 ROM. I was getting the same Smart Chip Allowed and worked with ATT for some time pushing updates and all that nothing worked. I have not unlocked my Tilt, but I know after I put in a Brand New SIM card I have not had the problem since, I would say if you have another ATT Sim card just put into the phone and see if the message goes away.
I wish you guys would post your locations, city/state. I'm in Phoenix, Arizona and haven't seen the problem yet.....
As I stated changing the SIM card resolved my problem. And I have one of the original shipping Tilts. I am in Closter, NJ.
i borrowed a coworkers tilt to flash a new rom for him and his had the smartchip not provisioned alert. well i ignored it and flashed (exactly like it says in the Flash for newbs post) and it's no longer there. Also this phone hasn't had a SIM in it for weeks, so i don't believe it's a network or SIM problem.
-Mike
fixed
After months with this problem, it's finally fixed. As I said before, I tried replacing the sim and replacing the phone and neither fixed the problem, so it was definitely a network issue. Finally one of the AT&T tech support guys on the phone removed my phone from the network and re-registered it. That fixed the problem permanently.
I just purchased my wife a Tilt for Christmas and received the same error. Also, the phone did not have a sim card in it.
Hello,
My i9001 has served me well for over a year and a half, and with 2 different mobile operators (I've had my current one for over a year), but now I want to change, got my new sim 2 days ago and here's the problem : my phone shuts off with my new sim approx. 30 seconds after i've entered the pin code. Had the same problem during summer, it wouldn't take my foreign sim card (for the country i was staying in) and would shut off 30 seconds after i'd typed the pin. The new sim works well on another phone (old nokia). And my phone works well with my old sim.
I used to have CM10 (before that, I used EhndroixII and III). I tried to flash another baseband, then I erased data and flashed back to stock (I9001XEFKP1).
If it is of any use, I'm in France and have used Sosh (Orange) for a year (before that I used Leclercmobile (SFR) for like a month), and I'm now changing to B&You (Bouygues).
The SIM is unlocked as I bought it on Amazon and the seller was German (if that's of any relevance). Also, after flashing stock rom my former SIM card doesn't work.
Also as I was (again) trying to reboot hoping that it would work, the old sim began not to work either (shut off after 30 sec)
Thanks for your help

This would happen due to following reasons.
1) USIM Lock, its found in your settings>locations & security
factory password may be 0000 or 00000 (not certain) IF you had not changed it yourself
2. Anti theft Apks...if you had installed one or using antivirus software with anti theft security ...in order to protect your phone they will lock your sim card to prevent theft.
3. Network SIM lock ...IF phone has been reported stolen, networks can blacklist users of that SIM

Hey all, this all started a few days ago, I had gotten into the Android beta so I could get Nougat. It was running fine for a few days, maybe a week. Then after I rebooted the phone for something, it wasn't finding my cell network. I decided now was as good a time as any to root it and see what ROMs were out there, it had been a few years and I had never rooted my Nexus 6.
I installed Pure Nexus and it was all good for a day or so, then my phone kept telling me it wasn't rooted. Not sure how that happens, but whatever, I decided to go through the steps again and root it and make sure it was all good. Ever since then it has unable to find my cell network. It sticks on the initial search for the network when I boot up my phone. I'm on T-Mobile with a Nexus 6.
In Cellular network settings it can't seem to decide if it's supposed to use GSM or CDMA, keep jumping back and forth. As such "Access Point Names" disappears then reappears. Either way, it's blank. I've even manually added an APN according to T-Mobile's website, but it disappeared once it switched back to CDMA and back.
I've taken the SIM card out, put it back in, no luck. I've wiped, I've rolled back to my nandroid backup, I even used Nexus Root Toolkit to flash stock and unroot, still not finding my cell service. Any suggestions/thoughts?

If you have access to another SIM card I would try that. If you acquire a signal with another SIM card the one you have is bad. You could even try removing and reinstalling your current SIM card to see if that helps.
Flash factory images with out a sim and do a complete boot. I had issues coming to T-Mobile from Sprint on my n6. After first boot power down and insert sim, then boot. It should auto detect the APN settings.

If that still doesn't work, you could try flashing a different radio image from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/fxz-nexus-6-recovery-flashable-fastboot-t3066052
Any luck?

Thanks everyone. I tried all of the suggestions, the first flashing without a sim, didn't work. I just wrapped up trying a new radio image, no luck there either.
Thinking it's probably just hardware, so bummed. Any other thoughts?
Thanks for checking in 31ken31.
Have ya tried and other known working sim cards on att or something to see if it finds that
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Just updating this in the event someone is routed to it through Google in the future. After flashing, trying to new sims, etc. it was pretty much guaranteed to be a hardware issue. The sim card reader is just not reading the sim cards. I upgraded to an LG V20 and am in love! Thanks for everyone who tried to help.
Hi All,
First off all a thank you in advance for any assistance given.
I purchased my beloved phone from DX.com, it came down from Singapore so i knew a gamble was being taken. I received my phone a couple of weeks later, and i couldnt get 4G. Everything else worked fine.
What i've done so far:
I have checked every setting under the sun to see if could enable 4G, every setting ive come across seem to be ok.
I have contacted my network provider and everything is fine on their end, (the sim was working fine on my previous phone)
I have check my fingerprint and phone details to check if everything is compatible, and i also updated my WW version to the latest. - see details here

Going from your user name, you live in UK? Depends what network you're on, this phone has no band 20. Which is fine if you're on ee, but other networks use band 20 for 4g... Google which network bands your provider use

My tuppenceworth, I'm on 3uk, and have no issues with 4g. I bought my rog2 direct from ASUS.
I have noticed some slight oddities between the sim slots though. Ie, my pin protected sim doesn't prompt me for the pin in tray 1. It just doesn't work. When I put it in tray 2, all works as it should. Have you tried swapping to tray 2? Failing that, you might just need a new sim?
EDIT. Just noticed you have tencent hardware, so all this advice may well be irrelevant.
I bought my from Asus, sure it had 4g to start with. Did an update and now it doesn't work.
I'm on vodafone in the UK
Update - 4g works at home. Weird as 4g was always ok on other phones at work. Must be a weaker pick up on this phone?
Odd at work, if I have phone set to 2g/3g/4g it sits on EDGE. If I put it on 2g/3g I get H+
You'd think the first would sit on H+
Annoying having to change the setting
i feel this phone 4g very week compare to my old pocophone....
Too many WiFi antennas and not enough 4g antenna? Guess it won't ever be a software fix?
Phones great, just super annoying at work I can't get 4g inside.
Go out the door and it's 4g no problem.
Everyone's iPhones, Samsung's etc.... All get 4g, just not me
I just bought this phone about 2 days, but it has poor signal, and now it cannot receive any signal with no network connection indicator, I even tried using e-sim but its just the same. I already tried factory reset, network reset, flash stock firmware via odin but no luck. Any help?

maybe it is just a problem with some sort of connection for the e-sim/physical thing, what is the carrier? please do not post your imei
also try turning airplane mode on and off
Welcome to XDA
Maybe be a bad sim card.
Sim cards can be damaged by ESD, handle it like a stick of ram. Never touch the contacts and at least discharge yourself by touching an earth ground before handling it.
Sim cards are good when they leave the manufacturer, a failure almost always is due to ESD damage afterward by the installer... just like ram sticks.
P
Access point names misconfiguration.
If it's a carrier phone like AT&T they will help you troubleshoot it.
I can see 2 issues here: 1. You have dud sim or 2. You didn't pay your telephone bill...if it's 2, you'd still get a connection. Have you tried using a sim from another provider?
Is it a brand new phone or second hand? If the latter are you sure it's not stolen and network blocked? The fact the esim also doesn't work would suggest this could be the case as it likely rules out a hardware problem with the sim or simcard slot.
Just an FYI, but I believe that this issue is tied to Samsung's latest update for the S21U. I pushed it through this morning and now whenever I disable my WiFi, I lose my cellular connection for about 10 minutes and only get it back after waiting, doing a reboot or turning WiFi back on...
Very strange...

If you bought it from official channels, raise a ticket for support with your Carrier or Seller. If you got it off e-bay or by other means, go back to the source and try to ensure it's not a stolen and IMEI blocked device. There are a lot of stolen phones floating around in the second hand market.
If even a clean ODIN flash isn't working, it's unlikely it's a user fixable problem so you'll most likely have to go to the service centre for this.
Try connecting to 3g/2g instead
should work if you have bad 4g connection in your country
Just by settings---> connections --->mobile network --> than change from 5g/4g... to 3g/2g and see if it improves
