[Q] Help PLEASE!!!! Sim Card issues. - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all. I need some help. I recently traveled down to the US, and decided to place my blackberry (rogers) sim card into my fido nexus s, to avoid getting charged on the fido account. everything worked great. Until I came back to Canada, and tried to use the fido sim card. It will not recognize my fido sim anymore, it says emergency calls only and sos over the signal. If I try to edit the apn's they won't save. Thought it was a bad sim, so I went to fido, and asked for another, so they gave me one, and it doesn't work still, and they tried it in a different phone and it worked at the store. so I am lost. If I re insert the rogers sim, I am on the network right away. I called rogers, I called fido, I went down to the fido store in person. I searched the net. I've done a factory reset, I've done restores. I've tried to use unlocking apps from the market. The phone just thinks there is no sim card. I am running miui, and while in the bootloader, the carrier info says that it is at&t... I did flash the rom while in the US to an updated version, with the rogers sim. I have tried to reinstall the rom after that, updated the rom, flashed the kernel and the radio, but with no success. Can anyone please help?

T-Mobile Sim on Skyrocket was working, now NOT recognized

Hi I recently received an AT&T Skyrocket and I unlocked it to use on T-Mobile and flashed it to Juggernaut/Faux009/VK1 and everything was going great.
I changed the ROM to SKY ICS, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602216 and only updated to D-9
I also changed the radio to the Blaze 4G.
I then started changing between radios to try to find the "right" one, I used Blaze 4g, UVLE. Then I started not getting any signal and went to check APN settings and I received the error "Insert SIM Card", but the Sim card is already in the phone.
I then tried to flash a bunch of different radios including the above and also VK1, and Telus radios.
Please, I need some help. What should I do? Do you guys need more info?

i727r wont work on Wind mobile - need help

I tried many different combinations of roms and kernels and almost all the radio's (tmo, bell i757, blaze) but nothing seems to get my phone to work on wind. I would always get no sim error.
Somehow on gingerbread after flashing some radio (can't remember which one i think one of the newer tmobiles), the phone recognized my sim card and then i could change the network settings (made it HSPA+ only) and I was able to get a strong signal. But after i restarted the phone i got the same problem (no sim card - insert sim card)
My phone is unlocked (tried with rogers and bell sim cards), and I rooted it, and its running ICS 4.0.4 Rogers STOCK (ULFX3)
Can someone guide me on what troubleshooting i can do to get it to work on WIND (AWS/like t-mobile)

keep cable unplugged, wipe everything, flash a radio, then flash a rom
read this first as to which radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119788

LTE/GSM/WCDMA or GSM/WCDMA - which should i pick for Wind? - Does it even matter
Should I do something to the APN - there's nothing there
I unplugged and wiped before trying out these combinations of radios with rom's -
i757MUGLH2 - ICS and CM10.0.0 - no sim –detect - telus, rogers and BMC
SGH-T989 - UVLH1 and CM10.0.0 - no sim –detect - wind mobile, telus, rogers and BMC
Blaze 4G_LB7_ICS and CM9 (unknown baseband)– no sim – detect – wind mobile, telus,rogers,302320, BMC
i757MUGLH2 - ICS and CM9 - no sim –detect - telus, rogers and BMC
SGH-T989- UVL14 and CM9 - no sim –detect - wind mobile, telus, rogers and BMC
SGH-T989 – KID - and CM9(unknown baseband)– no sim –detect - wind mobile, telus,rogers,302320, BMC
Let me know what are the next steps I should take to trouble shoot my NO SIM problem, because i think if i can detect the signals then the radios are working

[Q] Possible Sim overwrite?

SO everything was working great last night, right up until I flashed OTA jellybean onto the Phone

Flashed back to stock 4.0.4 attempted to rehack the radio thinking that the updated re carrier locked the radio, well it didnt work
I am using a straight talk Sim and the Sim Serial is read correctly, only it Now ID's it as a sprint Sim
and the Phone type as CDMA
and the Phone Number is gone from the sim as well
the Phone Meid is also read correctly
Can a OTA flashed VIA RSDLITE REWRITE A SIM CARD?

i went back to 4.0.4 then used odin and upgraded back to 4.1.2 reset wiped phone rebooted completly stock all root and custom recovery gone. used verizon software and went from mb1 to NE1 updated software now its at stock 4.4.2
i can insert a old rogers canada sim it sees network right away and shows up in APN
insert a new activated telus sim and it does not show anything except for the sim from unknown provider or non verizon sim crap but i know how to remove the system app for that notice does not change a thing.
i have used" phone info" and tried the different bands global, lte/cdma, gsm i have tried in service modes and dial pad codes (have not done *228 on 4g lte phones so its not a fried sim card) best i get with telus sim in and set in gsm mode is the can rogers network show up. nothing in the other modes.
i have manual tried the APN setting in phone and apn manager no change
i show a imei number however it is different from the original on the back sticker but the phone has no issues with the rogers sim card and the current phones imei so it changed at some point prob from a previous custom ROM but it is working to see a network just not activated on rogers
so now i have a unlocked bootloader, stock 4.4.2 clean phone 100% stock Verizon software i have read everything i can seem to dig up and still will not work

Newer SIM cards not detected in Android 2.3.6

Hello everyone, have a nice day and best wishes for the new year! :highfive:
This is my sister's phone, a Samsung Ace S5839i with stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 as second phone with Vodafone carrier. Years ago it was unlocked and rooted at a phone shop and everything was fine. At some point, she issued that the phone stopped connecting and wouldn't work with Vodafone, but strangely it works with other carriers.
So now I have the phone with me, I have tested older Vodafone sim cards and they work fine, tested other carrier sims and they work. I have tested 2 new Vodafone sim cards (mine and my sister's, which are both new and work on other phones) and both fail. The phone boots and doesn't ask the pin code. There is the icon in the statusbar with the sim card and an exclamation mark like there is no card. The radio signal is ok, IMEI is ok, it says "Insert SIM card" when I try to enter the Network Operators in settings menu.
I have downloaded a stock rom with newer PDA and modem versions and flashed them with Odin, but no luck, everything is still the same (except the flash counter...). I wonder if searching and flashing even a newer modem would solve the issue. Or would a newer Android version if there is. :silly:
It looks that this is a Vodafone related issue with the new cards, but all they say is that the sim is operative and won't help.
