[Q] No Service - Insert Sim Card to access network services

Hi Everybody.
Well, i bought my Samsung Galaxy 6 months ago and it's a awesome phone, but now I've got some issues.
4 Months ago - My phone comes with froyo 2.2.1 so I decided to update it using kies to Gingerbread 2.3.3, after that, My phone starts to had some issues, first when I press the home button the phone didn't response, the screen was in black but I could get calls, messages and lisening to music, this was solved after reboot the phone but in any time could happen again.
Now - because the issue before, I decided to use Darky's rom 10.1 and the issue suddenly dissapear.
After 1 moth and a half I decided to flash Gingerbread 2.3.4 stock rom and a new issue appears and since there, I can't solve it.
Sometimes, my phone get lost its signal and when to "Network Selection" a message comes out "Insert Sim Card to access network services", I can't do any call o use 3g, the only way to solve it temporarily is rebooting the phone.
I use many versions (JVP, JVQ, JVR, even MIUI) but the issue still happen.
Please, I'd aprecciate if you can give some help to solve my problem.
Regards.

Hello.
Yes, right now my phone has another sim card and everything is fine, but this SIM hasn't got any plan with internet, maybe the problem is when the phone use 3G.
Regards.
May be your sim has problem not ur phone.

That's what I thought, but I changed my sim card when the problem began.
Should I change my sim card again?
Regards.
I think he meant changing a new sim card with the phone company?
Yes you should replace that sim card from your company.

ok, I'm going to chanche my NEW SIM CARD (becase it's new) for another one.
I hope this will solve my problem, I'll let you know if everything is ok or not.
Thanks.
I have just solved a similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy S I9003.
The reason was software unrelated but seemed to be a hardware connection problem. The phone was unable to access the mobile network showing a "No Service" status, also the IMEI number was unknown on the phone settings. The mobile wasn't even requesting the SIM Card code when it was turned on. But the rest of the services were working properly (wifi, bluetooth, etc).
Although i tried everything such as re-flashing, re-rooting and even IMEI restoration techniques such as in youtube "Samsung Galaxy S (IMEI Restoration Techniques)", I was unable to fix it.
The solution was to open the phone and just adjust the sim card slot connectors. I will keep the phone on testing to see if that happens again.

[Q] No network issue LG Optimus 4x HD

Hi guys,
I have a LG Optimus 4x HD with stock rom (Jelly bean). About three weeks ago, I suddenly lost my network connection and it looked like my phone didn't recognize my SIM card. I put my battery and my Sim out and in my phone, but that didn't help. I tried many SIM cards and they work excellent on my other phone. When I turn my device on It just boots up and doesn't ask for my pin code at all. I see no difference when my SIM card is in or out my device. However, it does recognize my SD card, so I think there is a problem with the software? On the lock screen I just see the message ''no service'' and at the top I see this (first pic). When I try to dial someone it says ''reorganization of internal processes. Try it later.''. I read on a forum that I had to go to ''mobile networks'' in settings, but that isn't possible (pic 2).I also tried to put some paper between my sim card and my sim card slot but that didn't work either. Does someone have this problem too or is there somebody who can help me to solve this problem? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I discovered that my phone doesn't have an IMEI and IMEI SV code anymore. It also doesn't have an baseband version. Do you guys know this caused the lost of my network connection and does anyone know how I can recover my IMEI number? Finally I managed to enter the mobile networks in settings by do a long tap on the data icon in the notification center. I hope someone can help me.
I have the same problem as you. With every restart the phone is unable to read the sim card. Also the baseband is shown as unknown, and I don't have imei no. The solution for me is to remove the battery, and put the phone in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.(yes in the refrigerator The phone is getting very hot when is searching for network and to have it really cool helps apparently. Try it yourself to see if it does the job for you and let us know.

Thanks for your reply! This morning, my phone finally asked for the first time for the sim password and I finally got a signal. I got my IMEI and my baseband number back. Unfortunately, after an hour or so I tried to send a sms and I wasn't able to send it. I got the error no USIM or so. The IMEI and Baseband number disappeared agian. I turned flightmode on and of and I didn't get a signal again... New today was that I am now unable to connect to multiple wifi networks too. Now my WI-FI MAC-adress is 00:00:00:00:00:00. I already lost the phone and I now also lost the smart part of my smartphone... I also tried to put my phone in the refrigerator but sadly it didn't help. I think I have to buy a new phone....

Sorry to say that "It's time to say goodbye"
I got same problem with you and try all kind of possibility. Here is final verdicts:
- Some phone repairers I know said It's the encrypted baseband partition is damaged, unless you have backup of that, it's a no-go
- I've tried to reflash the phone and it will stuck at 10%, you have to push really hard at some point at the back to make is flashable. After that, the signal back on with baseband and IMEI.... but only for a few restarts it will be gone
Hi blbterminator,
I already said goodbye to my p880 (has been replaced for the G3), but thanks for your reply. Now it's clear for me that's it's a hardware issue.
Maybe do you know if this problem only affects the lg p880 or other brands or models too?
Many thanks!

Please help, No Sim Card/Emergency Calls only

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have searched and could not find an answer to my issue. I purchased a T-mobile variant Galaxy S6 it was stuck on the Samsung logo but I only paid $100 so I figured worst case scenario sell it for parts. I managed to get it to boot everything works except cellular service. If I remove the Sim it says "Sim Card Removed" Restart. After restart it goes immediately to No Sim Card . I insert the Sim and it says "Sim card Detected" Restart. After Restart No Sim Card???? Checked IMEI its clean, flashed stock via Odin, pulled what little hair I had left out. Any words of wisdom? Thank you in advance for your time. forgot to add no mobile networks option at all in settings?
Does the SIM card work in another phone?
yes sim card works in other phones
Could be why you paid $100 for it. If your SIM works in another phone then there is a issue with the S6 being able to read your SIM. Have a friend with T-MOBILE? Try their SIM card. You might have a picky SIM.
of coarse it's why I paid a $100 for it, no matter what I can get my money back out of it but I was hoping to be able to fix it. Tried several sim cards same thing it recognizes the card restarts no sim card. I was thinking it might be the sim card reader itself but the fact that there's no Mobile networks in settings makes me think it's software related? Oh well I guess parts on ebay here I come. Anyone need a new display LoL
Same issue
Hi there. I have exactly the same issue with an O2 unlocked S6. I used my Ee sim on it till two weeks ago when suddenly i lost all network capacity (same as you). Previously i flashed an unbranded stock firmware in order to get rid of the o2 logo (may seem stupid but that was what i did). After 2 weeks of normal use with the new rom suddenaly i couldn't give/receive calls /texts. Since, i tried wiping, flashing, advanced wiping etc but same issue. Any advice is more than appreciated.

Samsung note 9 sim suddenly stopped working

Hi guys, I have my Samsung galaxy note 9 (N960U) with me. Few days back sim card suddenly stopped working. I tried everything but nothing was working, even I reset my device but sim card is not working in this phone. Can anyone help me in this regard. Help will be appreciated.
Did you try putting your sim card in another phone? If it work's in another phone, the problem is your phone otherwise maybe you have to contact your sim's company to replace the sim card that's probably damaged.
