Hey all, I’m having problems with my sim card not working, my Captivate doesn’t recognize it at all. I got this captivate to hold on to from my older brother who is currently serving overseas (not possible for him to use phone) a few months ago. When I got it, I rooted it, sim unlocked it (I have t-mobile), and got to flash roms and have fun with it thanks to you good folks on these forums.
About 2 weeks ago, the speaker was issues that really bothered me(had to keep tapping it in to get It to work) so I decided to send it over to Samsung to fix. The phone was still under warranty, so it cost nothing to fix fortunately. I just got it back yesterday, and since then my t-mobile sim card would not work. I rooted, sim unlocked, and flashed many different roms and still not working. Its as if the phone thinks there is no sim card at all (“No SIM Card Emergency Calls Only”). I also tried this app called Samservmode, and enabled all bands (GSM/WCDMA) to see if it would work; it didn’t.
I was ready to call Samsung again, but when I went over to my friend’s house and tried his att sim card; it worked perfectly and I was able to send texts and make calls. So something must be wrong with my sim card, it works perfectly on my g1 though (my backup phone that was used while Captivate was away). I was able to use the same t-mobile sim for a few months in a row before I sent it to Samsung, isn’t this possible for me to do it again? Any advice on doing so would be much appreciated; thanks.
P.S. My t-mobile sim card is prepaid if that matters, so I don’t use 3g or edge or any data networks.
Also my current setup (if it even helps, I've been flashing between froyo and ginger nonstop trying to fix this issue)
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband: I897UCKB1
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Phone number and network is unknown
Mobile network type: HSDPA
Service state: Out of service
Roaming: Not roaming
Mobile network state: Disconnected
Everything else works pretty fine on this phone (wifi, bluetooth, etc.)
UPDATE: I went back to my friend's place and with his att sim card in, I tried adding a t-mobile APN based on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744535
Unfortunately this did not resolve the issue. I did this with his att sim card because when there is no sim (or in my case, my tmobile sim) in the phone, you can't access mobile networks in settings.
I am also currently on stock I897UCKH3
UPDATE 2: So I just tried my other friends t-mobile sim card (that is on a plan) and the captivate had service; was able to make calls and text. My prepaid sim card seems to be the culprit here. I don't understand because as I tested my friends sim card on the captivate, I also put my sim card in his iphone 3gs (unlocked) and it worked fine there. Is the captivate on strike against my sim card or something? I'm going to try calling t-mobile tomorrow (doubt they'll help since the captivate isn't their phone) and see if anything can be done. In the meantime if you guys have any advice, I'm all ears.
UPDATE 3 (This is getting kind of annoying): I just got off the phone with both Samsung and T-mobile and both of them don't know what to think. I'm beginning to think this is a special case and this problem only occurred to a very few amount of people. If anyone can help with suggestions I would be very grateful. I'm thinking about going to a t-mobile store today to see what they think, maybe seeing the issue in person would help in their perspective.
Doubt anyone is going to answer or even post, but here goes:
BUMP
I also went back to stock and followed this guide:

You try getting a new sim card?
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
Does T-Mobile have any policy of replacing prepaid sim cards? If so, that sounds like your best option. Also, Samsung might have been angry at you cheating their system, and purposefully disabled your sim card. Make sure you take out your sim before sending it back for repair.
Thanks for the reply guys, much appreciated. I decided to just live with it and keep the captivate as a galaxy s wifi if you will for media purposes only like an ipod touch. My g1 will be a phone. Once the nexus prime comes out I will start up a contract and finally experience 4g speeds and w/e else I can get with a contract thats not available on prepaid.
Also I did not send Samsung the phone with the sim card in, idk how they must've known to block it. Thanks again.
So here's what's going on.
I have an Atrix HD that is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked already.
I'm trying to sim unlock the phone to use with straight talk or tmobile.
The problem:
When I insert the tmobile sim, the phone is supposed to prompt with a request for a sim unlock code.
This phone doesn't prompt and it doesn't show signal. "emergency calls only"
I've tried this with two different roms. AOKP and Pac. Both did the same thing. I've also tried a simple mobile sim with each of these roms with no avail. By the way, I do get service with AT&T sim on all the Roms.
What am I missing here?
I see all these threads about unlocking and the biggest issue people are running into is finding the unlock codes. They are out there but they're hard to come by. My issue is that even if I magically had that code, I don't have a way to enter it!
Thank you for any help in advance.
I've searched around to find a solution or reason, but apparently this isn't common.
EDIT:
In case anyone has the same issue, flashing entirely stock software fixed this issue.
It is now prompting for the SIM network unlock PIN.
Hi,
Here's a little history of my question.
My sister was using a droid bionic on verizon 4G network. After the end of her contract, she bought a new phone and this awesome phone got passed to me.
Now I brought the phone to India WITHOUT the SIM.
And , to not snoop on my sis's accounts that were on the phone, I did a factory/data reset from settings---> Privacy
Now, the phone boots to android setup as all phones do but touching the android asks for a sim (even though i am connected to wifi). My India Vodafone sim isnt recognised and I'm currently stuck here.
The phone is currently running 2.3.4 stock unmodded, unrooted rom.
I want to update to Jelly Bean(Optional)
Unlock the GSM radio (usiing radiocomm perhaps? havent read thru fully yet)
And then use the phone here in India.
But as I said, I'm stuck in the android setup screen. somebody please advice!
To bypass the setup screen, just tap all for corners of the screen. Start at the top left and go clockwise. That should let you in the phone.
Hi, i used to have a samsung wave but the screen is dead in piece, my friend gave me his nearly brand new samsung galaxy ace (From koodo), i swapped the sim card from my old phone and used the change phone service from my provider (Telus), but it doest work half the time, my network power alway keep playing from 0 bar to 4 bar, even at 0 bar it could work, and even at 4 bar it could not work, i noticed that everytime i leave my house i loose my network even if im getting better network outside, or if my wifi is on, and i decide to turn it off, it would also mess with the network and make it stop working again, when it doesnt work, it would just fail to send txt, and when i try to call, there is just nothing that happen and suddenly i hear a bip and call is closed, the only thing i can do to fix is to reset the phone, but then it will happen again soon, no matter what.
I had data enabled for like 5 hour, nothing was downloading or anything and then my provider sent me a msg saying that ive spend 10$ on data... Phone wasent even doing anything... And when I try to check the network lock by dialing the code, I'm getting a error "connection problem or invalid MMI code"
I tried the official rom and a bunch of unofficial one like CM, but none would fix the problem. I unlocked the phone using the bml5 method. An im currently on the ultimatum rom.
Anyone could have an idea to stop this to happen?
Thanks
Maybe before unlocking it you should had to try flashing a branded Telus rom with ODIN. Give a try to my advice and give feedback

I just noticed something that could be vital... The plastic shape of the koodo and telus sim card is the same, but the koodo gold thing behind the sim card is twice the size of the one of telus, does that matter?
Otherwise, should i use the stock koodo rom or telus one? But where can i get them?....

So i contacted telus, they said they do have hard problem to connect to my sim card, and a faulty sim card would also cause the messing between 0-4 bars. I guess i will first try to get a new sim,
So ive changed the sim card but it didnt helped at all, next i should try to put it back to original rom, but i have no idea where i could get a rom from koodo, where can i find those?
All the rom from carriers and not are available on sammobile.com. You need to register to the site in order to download the rom but you can browse rom without log in.
Hey guys , first of all sorry for my poor English
Im from Taiwan and was attracted by Droid turbo from Verizon
recently, I just got Droid turbo XT1254
it was confirmed that 4G SIM card in Taiwan could work on this phone
however , the first time i plugged my sim card into the phone and powered it on
it just stuck, couldnt input the passward of sim card pin
but the power button and volume button seem to be fine
here is the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7e_VnZLDS4
ive tried to fix it in ways
(1)
boot it on without SIM
same consequence, cant slide to unlock to the table
(2)
with SIM card
go to fastboot mode and wait until it shut down
boot it on and the same consequence as well
(3)
without SIM card
go to fastboot mode and wait until it shut down
boot it on and it work!!!
slide to unlock and put in my SIM card
everything works
by the way
ive tried to wipe in recovery mode but remained the same
Is it the problem that i put in NON-Verizon SIM card?
BTW
software version
23.21.44
SU4TL-44
Thx for reading my post and sorry for my poor English again
MOTO Droid turbo is an awesome phone
so im no expert here but if you can put in the official VZW sim and see if that does anything if you can boot into the phone without the sim its a issue with that sim card if you have verizon id suggest calling them idk if you actually need the sim also if you can get into the phone then put the sim back in and you dont get that lock screen again go into settings >More>cellular networks and see if it allows you to change anything id look at preferred network type you have three options Global, LTE/CDMA and LTE/GSM/UMTS mine is on global so try that out and let me know worst case ill look into it for you you may need the unlock code for the phone or something i dont really know
well
i download the latest VRZand flash through mfastboot manaully
it works
All good
