[Q] Sim card problem with CM11 - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I installed the latest CM11 from Maclaw, build 20140408, after finished booting, a pop up shows "You need to refer to the SIM card instructions that came with your phone". My sim card is fine when i tried it with my other phone and my IMEI and baseband are intact.
I tried reflashing and resetting the data but the problem is still there. I even tried the latest carbon rom and the same problem occurred. Then I ODINed my phone back to stock rom and the problem is gone.
Is it just me who's having this problem? Is there any solution to this?

Change sim card or remove it and put it back maybe this will solve your problem

did you do a factory reset before flashing and cleared dalvik? if not, try that...
also here is a good flashing guide

Battery stuck at 100%

Hi,
I updated my cm kang today and everything was working fine. I rebooted my phone and my battery percentage went from 4% to 100%. and it's stuck on it.
When i put the percentage mod of in CM7 i see a battery icon with "?" in it.
I tryed the following things:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Fix Permission
Installed a older kang but nothing worked.
I searched on google and some people fixed this problem by getting a new battery.
Has anybody else had this problem?
Thanks
100% without charging forever. its my dream
I've had the same problem. Check baseband and RIL. Try to use program "GetRIL" [market] and check is your baseband and RIL are the same. If not then you can download 'recomended' RIL and reboot.

Thanks, i restarted my phone and now the market is gone, baseband is unknown. A reinstall of the rom,and wiping everything,reinstall of baseband didn't work.
I'm gonna install the stock rom tommorow using smartflash. Hope that works

changes on IMEI ? *#06# ?
if you lost your IMEI try this LINK
Infinite power!!!!!
Baseband is always the same, no matter what rom you install BUT when you are changing a rom then "RIL" can change and that's why your problem was created after you install a new kang.
Now my baseband is 824 and its the best I've ever had. Good luck.

Thanks, I had no IMEI so i checked your link but i couldn't get the following too work:
1. Connect phone by USB
2. Enter 1809#*990# in dialer

You have flashed a gb ril in cm7. Cm7 supports only froyo ril.
In fact if you don't do that, the rom is unable to read battery voltage and baseband version.

Don't think that is the problem because i have done that many times and it always worked fine. I found out today that i couldn't send sms, if i tryed i would loose my connection etc.
Restarted my phone and now it doesn't start anymore, it's in a boot cycle lol.
Gonna install stock rom now
hmmm.. i wouldnt actually change that it would be like a dream to have an all the time full battery

I repeat, CM is only compatible with froyo rils. Aremcee said that.

[Q] cm10.1 on xperia z no imei number found

Hi i have the z and installed cm10.1 fxp211. It installs fine but when i go to the rom, i have no reception. I go to the about screen and it shows no imei number at all. can anyone help me on why this happens? i have tried taking the sim out going into aeroplane mode and rebooting the phone putting sim in and it still dont work. any help is appreciated.
Try reflashing previous version ( fxp 210 ) and check again. Maybe something went wrong with the modem driver or flashing procedure.
Hi I tried that but still the same I really want cm10 on my xz
Same Problem!

Same thing happened to me. I've also tried the said steps but still no IMEI is shown. I even reflashed it to stock rom, restored my TA Partition but to no avail!

I have the same trouble like you guys.
I installed CM 10.2 Milestone1 and after some time my IMEI went lost.
So far I found no solution.
Did you find any solution in the meantime?
What did you do with your phone now?
I had it replaced. My phone was under warranty.

Okay. In the meantime I was able to recover mine. In Clockworkmod I formatted all partitions (real format, not just wipe option) and installed CM 10.2 nightly, then I had my IMEI back. Now I did a backup from within Clockworkmod, next time my phone gets bricked I have a backup now.... Should have done that earlier...

[Q] [SOLVED] Sim card not detected

I tried installing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578828 and it said that installation was successful but when I started the phone I had no service. I tried manually searching for networks but I got a "Unfortunately Settings has stopped working". I had a backup right before installing this but there was a problem with it and couldn't restore. I tried factory reset but now I just get a "Unfortunately phone.android.com proccess has stopped working" when I start the phone and the Settings crash whenever I try to do something and still sim card is not recognized. I tried it on a different phone there was no problem. I am thinking about reseting with CWM but I am hoping you can help me before I do that.
I had the same try taking out your sim and clean it that did it for me
EDIT: does it work when you remove the mod?
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
Just tried it but didn't help.
Actually when I remove it and insert it while the phone is on it says "Sim card removed" or "Sim card inserted" and then restarts.
I tried removing it but same thing.
And after I did the factory reset I thought it would delete the mod but it didn't help.
Get a new simcard.. This will solve the problem (most of the time)
I'm not sure if it will fix it. I tried my sim card on a different phone and it was working fine. I tried a sim card from a different carrier and it still wasn't working on my phone.
Normaly a new one does not cost anything so it is worht a try. If its still not working then I suggest you let your phone be repaired.
Normally they don't charge but in my country they do....
That's why I prefer to try repairing it myself and as a last resort to give it to someone....
Still trying to figure out how to though... I'm thinking of trying to go back to stock rom and see if that helps or install CM10 or 11...
Will write again after my tries.
Well I couldn't find what exactly was doing the problem but I found a solution. I repaired my phone with PC Companion and everything is fine now...

Phone doesn't read my SIM

I have been using CM11 (14-03-2014 I believe), without major problems until yesterday. Sometimes my phone seemed to disconnect from my SIM and I had to re-enter my pin code to reconnect to my operators network. But as of yesterday my device doesn't seem to recognize the SIM card, It doesn't ask for a code at all and can't make any connection whatsoever. I didn't change a thing, this problem started out of the blue.
I wiped cache and dalvik, updated to the latest CM nightly (08-05) but that didn't make any difference. In other threads I read about the baseband that might need an update, but I can't check which version I have now because when I try to enter the hidden menu I get the no network connection error. The strange thing is that CM11 has worked with (I guess) the stock baseband.
Is my phone tripping or could it be that my SIM card is broken?
Help and thoughts will be very much appreciated
Try it on stock to be sure about it.
After some searching I found a phone that could fit a regular SIM card, a Blackberry 9900. My SIM worked perfect in this phone, so that is not the problem.
I Also did a complete wipe and installed a stable version of CM 10.1.3, but that didn't seem to help. I hoped that a downgrade would have done the trick. I might try a ICS ROM or the stock firmware, but I kind of lost hope and i'm starting to think this problem is hardware related in stead of software. I'll report back with results on stock firmware and the ICS ROM.
How can I make sure the SIM reader in my phone is working properly?
Sorry for double posting, but I got an update:
SIM wasn't working with ICS so I decided to go back to the stock ROM. However, when I tried to flash V20B.kdz with KDZ_FW_UPD, the program got stuck at wParam=2010 and iParam=210. The phone is now stuck in S/W Update mode, and I haven't found a way to restore it yet. I will argue a little more with my phone when I get back from work, I'll open a new thread on how to unbrick when I can't do it myself.

I have the same problem, and exactly the same error at reflash.
Dead end. Buy a new phone .
I tried to flash it about 80 times. One guy from a gsm repair has a bit luck and make it work at the first, but then, when he wanted to repair my imei, the phone stucked again in S/W Upgrade.

Go to your phone Settings >> About phone. Do you see the IMEI, baseband in there?
If no, your EFS file might be corrupted or deleted. If you didn't have a backup then you might wanna Google for help.
If yes, check your SIM slot and make sure the gold pins are all there.
