unplug the usb cable, reboot the phone.
(fyi, 3gs is an iphone, you mean 3g)
Thanks for the quock reply. I tried restarting the phone but it still not working..
What can be done to get 3g working?
Hmmm... I'd recommend loading a different modem or a different ROM. However, I'm not sure if I understood you correctly... can you make calls while on the stock ROM? If not, I'd return it to AT&T for an exchange.
Not working in stock too.. Will go to att store. Not sure they exchange the phone, but lets try with sim.

So you didn't have you sim card in did I read that correctly. If that is the case then yes you won't be able to do anything with the phone on the ATT network.
If that is not the case then yes I would look into returning it
I followed these steps and it worked fine now..

Try installing another rom?
if you try out a few roms and they all dont work, then its properly a hardware error.
I am using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032419
First time i installed Fear rom i had the same problem. I simply reinserted the sim card after some cleaning, rebooted the phone and it was all fine again

IMHO, first thing to do is check your SD Card. Do you see it under CWR ? Can you plug it into another material ? PC, phone, Camera, Nintendo DS, etc... ?
f you can see it somewhere else, then your flash gone bad. Just flash again.
i dont completely understand what you mean, but i can see my SD Card in my pc, other phone, and in CWR.

My Optimus Black was working fine for about 3 months. Not sure what happened, but it started showing no network/signal. It's a completely unlocked phone. I tried a friend's SIM card and the first time it wouldn't work, but I tried again a few days later and it worked but had a pretty bad signal. Now it won't work no matter how many times I try. I even bought a new SIM card/number (I live in Asia) and it won't work.
I had Android 2.3 and thought maybe something got corrupted, so I wiped and reinstalled, but same problem. I wiped again and installed Mokee OS, and same issue. (By the way, after using Android 2.3, switching to Mokee is so much nicer, although it's in beta and still has some bugs.)
The 6 gold SIM connectors look fine. I used a SIM app and it recognizes the SIM card and its carrier, so I think the card is being read OK.
I live on a small island, so sending the phone back to LG or taking it back to where I bought it (Bangkok) would be a huge hassle. Does anybody have any ideas on things to try to fix this? I'd really appreciate the help.
Can you return to stock rom (rooted or not, as you want) and then tell me if you see something write in LG lockscreen (I'm thinking about LG Security Error) ?

i think its imei deleted.
please look into menu/settings/apout phone/status/imei
it is normal?

The first time i wiped the phone i went back to Android 2.3, but all that the lock screen said was "No service". Usually it says "DTAC" when I have service. Is that what you mean?

I think everything is normal. It has an IMEI number. It is 15 numbers. It also has an IMEI SV number that is 16 numbers.

No if the SIM card isn't used that phrase is normal. I got a problem like you but it was written "LG Security Error" and I had to use Smartflash tool erasing cp and then recover my imei. But it doesn't seems that you have the same problem. "/

I flashed the new rom and erased the CP data. still no phone service but i haven't reset the IMEI yet. having trouble with that step. i'm not sure if this is going to work though, my problem seems different. my phone can see my SIM card, but i just don't have any phone service with any SIM card. the sim cards work fine in other phones.
try a sim without pin code
and flashing with smartflashtool (erase entire cp) doesn't works?

i don't think my SIM has a pin code? I'm not sure though? There's only one type of SIM you can get here in Thailand. You buy the SIM from a phone shop or 7-11 and add credits to it. I've never seen any other type of SIM card.
Yep, I used smartflashtool and erased the entire CP (had to enable with Windows Enabler). Now there is no IMEI and still "No service".
Retry or by changing baseband now...there was a tutorial in optimus3D threads i think
Or in this one itself
Change the baseband
I'm new to this.
A totally random event. I restarted my phone one evening last week and it show no sim. Using the LG support tool I had multiple failed attempts to update the software. Then as sudden a the sim registration had disappeared it came back to life. All fine until again the phone just stopped registering the sim.
Phone is secondhand. And I have tried numerous times removing, cleaning and replacing the SIM. Tried another active SIM on the same network with no luck.
I've never had a 'bricked' phone so don't know what to expect but I imagine the phone wouldn't even boot up!
I have now rooted the phone and installed CWM recovery, still no joy and have in desperation performed a hard reset. Nada!
Software is V10h. I read something about EFS folder to backup but all I could find is a text file. The IMEI is not registering on the phone. It could be a very simple answer but currently I'm stumped. I have requested a replacement SIM but have little hope this will resolve the issue.
I hope someone has an answer...

re-flash 10h or 20a kdz. look for various tutorials on the forum. (btw, your phone isnt registring on network cuz your imei isnt being read, probably due to failed upgrade process
(or some other bug). it should be fixable though)
also, replacement sim wont help. its your cell phone that's faulty, either hardware or software, not the SIM itself
also, i'm not sure how it goes if your IMEI is blacklisted by your cell phone company - is it possible the phone was stolen? perhaps the original owner reported it stolen to his carrier and they blocked the IMEI?

If the IMEI is blacklisted, the phone will still show it correctly in the settings and the carrier will just block based on this. This is why changing an IMEI is illegal in most countries and why discussions on how to change it aren't allowed on XDA as it can get the site in serious trouble.

check if ur gapps are fine. reinstall all gapps. maybe u deleted some app that u shouldnt. happened to me too 2 weeks ago and i had no sim so signal , i couldnt see my imei, etc. if that doesnt help , then reinstall ur rom or install a custom one. I mean maybe u must be sure to check if u deleted some system app that u shouldnt. Since u have double checked with other sim , if its not from an app , then the above thread is right, the owner could have reported the phone stolen

Okay, strange happenings with this phone. I've not hd the opportunity to re-flash as suggested but by the by I put my SIM back in and it worked fine. IMEI registered in the phone settings and all was as it should be. Until again first the signal disappeared and when I restarted the SIM did not register. Has anyone experienced this before?

There have been some problems with this, but normally due the the RIL on CyanogenMod-based ROMs. I would suggest that you find the time to either reflash v10h or upgrade to v20A/B/C (as appropriate for your region) and see if that fixes it for you.
you still havent mentioned anything about gapps. this means you checked and you are sure that they are fine ??
So I have tried flashing software V20A using the LG software updater and now all I get is the phone booting into 'S/W Upgrade please wait while upgrading'
I can get into any other screen, despite pressing all combination of buttons together.
I have attempted reflashing back to V10H and try and get it back to how I had the phone. No luck there
And also tried again with V20A. No joy.
Is there anything else I could try?

I have always found this thread [TUTORIAL]Update firmware through flashing the kdz files( With Picture )Step by Step works perfectly every time.
Got the same problem here, running cm for a month with no probs, restarted phone and sim not recognized. Installed a backup of the original rom and everything ok. Reflashed kdz's and did a fresh install of cm and still no sim. Am now on Zaiben which is ok but takes about 15 mins to recognize sim?

I recently purchased a LG G2 Verizon model to use on T-Mobile. I recieved the phone and reset to make a fresh start for me so i dont have any software problems. Little did i know i could not get past the setup screen with verizon sim activation a requirement. So after a lot of research i found the fix.
1. Make sure you are the screen where you choose the language.
2. Press these buttons in exact order. Volume up then volume down then back then menu then home.
3. There should be two pop windows warning about leaving setup. Go ahead and click yes for both and confirm.
4. Voila! You just bypass the verizon setup screen!
*This process is helpful for when u reset phone or perform a update in the future.
Hope this helps many of you G2 users out there!
Thank you!!!!
I cannot describe the despair I felt upon realizing I might need a verizon card to use my brand new phone. Many thanks!

This is actually VERY helpful! I too got my Verizon LG G2 in November, once rooted and switch to T-Mobile, I realize I still needed to keep my Verizon sim card which is a annoyance having to keep. Because of that I stray away from LG Stock roms and to CM roms.. Now I can flash Verizon LG roms without having to switch Sim cards or flashing a T-Mobile Stock rom and using a Verizon Patch!
Thank you!
After getting frustrated speaking to Verizon about getting past the activation screen so I could use my phone that I own outright with any carrier I want to and got nowhere I decided to search the internet and found this very helpful post. Many thank!

Sorry to bump a dead thread. Would this work going overseas? I'm going to South America in two weeks. I can just buy a sim down there and follow this? Does it matter if I'm running a stockish ROM? Do you have to factory reset or just power off and insert new card and change settings?

If If u can don't reset. But this guide is basically if you reset the phone. Any SIM card will work in the phone no need to change any settings. This guide is if you reset the phone on the stock rom. I recommend flashing a custom rom which has this removed.

Good to here I'm still helping out you guys!
Does anyone know the name of the app or file to change to disable the setup app ?
I know using the up down back home works to bypass the verizon setup, but I have seen on other threads that there are apps that can be turned off or files that can be renamed on other phone to prevent this activation screen from coming up.
Does anyone know the file name or app name and location that needs to be changed ?
Thanks
