Corrupted SIM on flash

Every time I flash a new ROM, the SIM is corrupted and I can't connect to AT&T.
SIM card was out before and during flash.
USB disconnected during flash.
The APN Settings are fine.
I even put a good, working SIM card (from another phone) in the device and I got service. I also put the bad SIM in the other phone and it ALSO got no service.
The APN settings are equal on both phones.
I had to go to AT&T and get a new SIM activated. I do not want to do this every time I flash a new ROM.

Bad luck. There is no way your phone picks and chooses what sim card to mess up after flashing (you said it corrupted your sim card, but not another one you tried?), and if it does you need to find a new phone

It did this on two different phones with two different roms (Darky 8 and Pheonix 2.5).

This is just highly unlikely, especially if you did everything you claimed to do (removing the sim card, unplugged during flashing, etc)

Sim Card not working

I think i read all the sim card topics in here trying to figure out what is wrong with my n7000. Idk what else to do so i am here to explain what is going on and maybe someone can give me a suggestion.
I had CM13 installed and no problem at all. Then i decided to install the new Lineage OS 14 and the cellphone doesn't recognize the sim card. So i tried some of the solutions i read in here.
1. Fix the keystr with ON in it with terminal emulator. (I did just in case but the file was already in there)
2. Try to unblock the phone with GalaxSim Unlock. (It says my phone is unlocked already)
3. Recover IMEI. (I didn't lost my imei at all. I also have my EFS backup. We never know when we will need it)
4. Go to security and unlock sim card pin. (I can't see this option and i can't click in sim card option)
5. Try to install different roms and modems. (i tried at least 6 different stock roms and modems, nothing worked)
6. Sim card is faulty. (my sim card is working in other phones)
7. Sim Card reader is broke. (This is the second phone i succeed to brake with the exactly same problem... )
I attach some prints referring to my attempts to make it work. I am really dizzy about what to do next...

Does not recognize the sim anymore

Hey I have a question.
I've install an costum rom but now the Phone does not fint the sim card anymore.
I also tried other roms but there was no luck. I also tried the sim card on a other Phone and the Sim card is fine.
I think that is also helpful when i say that i am in germany and so i have a german Sim card.
My question is, is there a way to fix it?
Sorry for my bad english i am from germany.

If I correctly remember the Resurrection Remix thread by rodman01 (meanwhile closed) and the connected Q&A thread covered this topic quite often. I suggest to first search those two threads.

Dual SIM SM-N950F (1sim+1sd card+extrender): Pie gives me error. Help plz

So im using a dual sim exynos variant of note 8. I have one sim installed in first slot, and a second sim with extrender into the second slot with sd card. It worked flawlessly until PIE. Now, the os recognises the 2 sim and sd card too, but guves me an error like: there is something in my sim tray slot.. Anyone know how can i get rid of this message and use my phone like before?
Thanks for the help!

I think that Samsung may have blocked the use of this feature with the Pie update.

Question Sim Card Does not work

Hi All,
I was hoping someone would be able to assist this issue that I am facing. I have a S21 Ultra purchased a couple of years ago in Sydney, Australia.
Recently, my SIM card stopped working on my S21 Ultra. Every other feature works and the SIM card works fine on a different phone. I have also tried replacing the SIM card, but it still does not work. The same SIM card works on a different S21 Ultra phone.
I also reset the network settings and yesterday I performed a full factory reset, but the SIM card still does not work.
I tried searching for a solution here, but could not find any threads where someone has faced a similar issue. If someone could kindly help or suggest some other tips, that would be highly appreciated.
Cheers

Have you flashed any custom module/ ROM/ firmware on your phone?

Thanks for your response. Nope, just the usual OTA updates.

Have you tried putting another sim card on the current slot that isn't working?
You have the following two options:
1. Assuming your current sim is in slot 1, try putting it in slot 2 (or vice-versa).
2. Try eSim with your current number.
The issue appears to be the firmware that came with the latest OTA update.

Yup, I have tried another SIM card but that doesn't work. That sim card works successfully on other phones. Also I just have a slot for a single physical sim card. Thanks

If a factory reset doesn't solve a problem, you'll have to wait for the next update. For now, eSim seems to be the only solution.

Yup, seems like it. Yes, I will try and get an eSim and see how that goes. Thanks for your responses. Appreciate it!
