[Q] No SIM card in phone

OK guys... I usually lurk, but find myself now needing help.
In an attempt to help my friend, I was going to root his phone and install a custom ROM. The phone is a 1010 build and I forgot to remove the SIM when performing one-click-root.
Now the phone will not recognize the SIM card. I don't think the SIM is bad because it won't recognize mine either and my card works in my phone.
I followed the instructions for 1010 builds back to JH2 and the SIM is still not recognized. The phone came with JH7 installed, but I figured that the SIM would be recognized after booting into JH2.
Can anyone offer assistance?
Thanks.
EDIT: His SIM works in my phone. Just thought you might ask.

Bump please

I had this happen in my old Tilt lol. Try backing up the sim from your phone and if not, you have to get a new sim.

The SIM card still works... just not in this phone. It works in my captivate. I think I am in trouble here. <slaps self> That's what I get for rooting company phones. :\
If anyone knows something that I can try to get this phone to recognize the SIM... please chime in. Right now I am back to JH7 rooted.

verify that you have the right modem in it and check the APN settings

Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: I897UCJH7
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
How do I check the APN settings?

Sorry... can't verify APN settings if SIM is not detected. Looks like I'm hosed. Thanks for the replies.

APN shouldn't affect recognizing the SIM. Are other SIMs working with this phone? You may want to try either a master clear, or downloading the ODIN version of 2.2 stock to see whether they will recognize SIMs before returning the phone.

Try a rom! Or kb1 or ji6 try flashing like everything to it, hopefully that'll do something also go to settings>privacy>factory data reset and make sue you backup first

Yes i know. My sim card still worked in my captivate just not my tilt, all you need to do is go to at&t and tell them your sim card isnt working. They should be able to transfer your contact and get you a new one. But this just a last resort, try these guys suggestions

You can get apn settings by pitying your friends sim in your phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

even new apn settings wont load if its not detecting the old sim. i ran into this but didnt fix it. got replaced. different situation....
i had this after a noobish bad flash where i odin'd to phone instead of pda.
i lied my ass off and got the phone replaced that night, as i NEEDED the phone THAT NIGHT no time to play and fix myself. that was by bad! now i flash at night only when i wont need my phone for hours.
you dont need to take out your sim to root. i never have. i use oneclickroot 1.7.
so im not sure what you did to screw it up.
but if someone elses SIM works in your phone then that means the phone is fine. AND if your SIM doesnt work then it means your SIM doesnt work!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S I9000 No Service!

Hope Someone can help.
I had a problem with my Samsung galaxy s i9000 and i was told to flash it using Odin, i downloaded the files from sam firmware and put android 2.3 onto it, when it had completed the phone will not get a service, everything else works fine and it reads the sim card and the contacts etc it just wont connect to network?
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Josh

Does it work wireless ?
Does it get phone network, or both data and phone services are unavailable ?
Do you have in wireless and network settings under mobile network the "use data packet" switched on ??
Did you try with a sim from another operator just to see if it's a matter of specific operator settings ?
I got italian language, maybe settings name are a bit different from the ones i mentioned, but that's the concept.
Bye

all that works fine and i haven't tried a new sim card as i do not have another sim card to try but i thought that if it was that problem the phone would not start as it would ask you for a network lock code? it is really annoying. ]
thanks

Check if your IMEI is correct, you find it under settings, about, status.
Your correct IMEI is on a sicker under the battery.
Edit: to late ; )

nope when i try and make a phone call or send a text it says "mobile network not available"

mmmm....
are you sure you downloaded the correct rom ? I mean there are different roms for different countries.
While you just reflashed, why dont you go back to original stock rom or to a stable one (one i remember is JPY_JPY_JPY) just to see if everything works fine ?
Anyway....which was the problem you had that required you to flash with odin ??

Yeah you prolly downloaded a rom fir another region if your imei is in tact and ya vant even make calls. If you can make calls and just cant use data then the rom doesnt have your apn settings and you will have to add them manually.

Have you bought it used with this problem?
If so there is a chance that the IMEI is reported stolen and blocked at the service provider.

ROMs for SPH-P100 without Data Plan

I haven't been able to find a definitive answer to this question yet: Does it make a difference which JB ROM I flash on a SPH-P100 on which I am only using wifi? I have been using CM10 Nightlies, which are fine, but they do incorrectly identify the phone as Verizon. Basically, I'm interested in trying out some of the other ROMs.
Thanks!

if you aren't using data it won't matter. you won't be able to use the data anyway if your esn isn't registered to their network.

Just to be absolutely sure, would it make a difference if it's a GSM ROM?

I was replying to the person who want to flash the GSM ROM into his CDMA device.
I personally have never encountered anyone who has done that.
Are you saying you accidentally flashed a GSM rom into your CDMA?
As long as you can still go to download mode, you should try to flash a stock CDMA rom that has a pit file as well, using Odin repartition or use heimdall.

Well I Flashed the p1c (CDMA) CM10 nightly. while I'm connecting to my WiFi it shows verizon wireless on the status bar. and if I go to the status it shows Network (Verizon Wireless) ,signal strenght (akward -4dBm), Mobile Network type (CDMA - EvDo rev. A:6, Service state (In Service), Mobile Network state (Disconnected) I turn off the WiFi and it stays in Connecting for 10-15 secs and goes back to Disconnected.
I tried heimdall and I was able to put the zimage and recovery. when I add the pit file it grays out, so I tried some of the One Click restock and it allowed me to go back to my NAND backups on CM9 but it just doesnt want to connect.
any other suggestions??
THANKS A LOT for all your help!!!!

I didnt I figured out they sold them to me with free data plan for 6months then thats when it stopped...

[Q] S i9000 unable to connect to network

Yes, the phone is shows the network, but when you try to select it, it says unable to connect.
I just checked there, and the IMEI number is valid

The files are in the right place, so nothing wrong there. Is wifi working?

Yep, but wifi is the only thing thats working. No data or mobile network, no GPRS either

Which network are you with and what settings do you have in APN ?
Would recommend ...flashing Rom and Re-Rooting*

I am wondering if it's just something in the connection settings. When I went to Japan last year I had to fiddle with something in the settings before I could pick up signals. It was in mobile networks. I think you can select cdma or something like that.

Im with Go Conquer in Ireland, actually brought the phone to a shop to be unlocked, as it was Vodafone, but they said it already was unlocked. They have their settings up on their website so I have entered them.
I'm going to try putting it back to its original settings again, and rooting it again, do you think that might be it? Ill also try the cdma settings.
Thanks to you both

Follow my Guide below to flash Rom and then Root it
Why did you go to a shop to unlocked it ...theres apps on here free??

Did you manage to get it right again? I'm having the same issue as you do. I did a factory reset with cwm and now when I enter the sim card it doesnt connect to network or 3g. Wifi does work. I am on original rom 2.3.5 and I dont know what to do. I tried a other sim and that didnt work either. Please advice. Thank you.

BQL1 New verizon firmware update

I just updated to the new BQL1 firmware and now my sim card is saying it is not registered on the network. I replaced the sim card and it was working until my battery died. I charged phone and turned it on and now sim card not registered on network again. I have reset network settings and toggled everything I know how to try to get it to work but nothing helps. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Sim was working fine on bqk5 firmware. Thanks.

I upgraded from G950USQU1AQG4 to G950USQS2BQL1 today and had the same issue. Even factory reset didn't work. Bootloader changed from 1 to 2 so going back wasn't an option for me. Registering a new sim card was the only option for me. I only tried a new sim card because the vzw site gave me this message while trying to re-activate the one i had been using:
HTML_COTENT_NOT_FOUND_FOR_CONTENT_KEY: devicechange_sim_aging_message
Glad i wasn't the only one who wasted a day with this crp.

Can we upgrade BQk1 to oreo?

Try using Odin3 v3.12 PrinceComsy to roll back to GS950USQU2BQK5.
Also, did you activate the new sim card on the vz website first?
I'm pretty sure this is what I did...
Factory reset, shutdown, remove the old sim, activated the new sim online, insert the new sim into the s8, turn on the phone.
