Hey guys.
I was running on the stock deodexed 2.3.3 GB rom and out of nowhere my phone freezes. I disconnect the battery and start it up but now it won't register on the network
It says "searching" on the lockscreen and I have the no signal symbol at the top.
I try to go to my network setting but it says "insert sim card to access network services"
WTF?
The sim card works in all my other phones.
I've reflashed the phone with 2.2, 2.3.4, and 2.3.3 again but nothing
I've even odin'd a couple of modems. Nothing. How is this possible?
Can someone lead me in the right direction to fixing this?
Cheers and thanks!
I'm assuming you're still on t-mobile right?
if you want to stay on a stock rom, it'll be fine for you to follow the GB Starter Pack guide I wrote. The link is in my forum signature.
Check your imei in settings. May be corrupted.

Im having the same issue did everything according to key on this link

Worked perfectly no problems but when i load up the phone No Cell Service. Am i missing something?
If you are using an unlocked phone there is a good chance that you will need to insert your apn's manually using APN Manager from the market.
Check and see if you have an updated sim card. remove the sim card and look at the side with the gold contacts. You should see numbers printed on that side. If you have numbers then you have the new Sim card. If not you have a old Sim card that could cause issues. t mobile will update your card for free if you have an old one. Just bring it to the store.

Or like Samoira said check your emie on settings.about phone.Status..check if you have regular numbers or garbage characters!

Hey guys. I found the issue and thought I'd share. Somehow the sim reader got gummed up so I sprayed some electronics cleaner in it and worked excellent.
If anyone ever has this problem just head to your local hobby store and spray it!

Lately out of the blue when I pull my phone out my pocket I see a pop up saying sim card not detected then I have 2 options. Shutdown or reboot. Is this the phone quality built a little out of place or what? I'm sure someone here has seen this message if not all of ya have.

Personally I would go to ATT and see if you can get a new sim...because apparently something is not right with the sim card.
or or or
It could be the ROM you are running, If you are running a Rom...
Running android revolution 5.1.6. Crazy how could it be the rom?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Possibly just a bad installation...
Although it is a reliable ROM they all have glitches, possibly it is the ROM and you should try re flashing it and if the problem is fixed you know it was the ROM, and if it doesnt work Like i said before, your going to have to take a trip to ATT.
It could also be some type of hardware failure in your phone, not sure though.
Have you tried using the SIM in a different phone?
Faulty SIMs aren't unheard of.
Nope just this one. It only pops up every now and then but today it did it twice back to back so now I was like wtf. And decided to ask if anybody else seen this before.

My sister once had a bad 3G SIM card that would only work on EDGE. We were right by an EDGE/3G border, so we could take 3 steps forward and have a working phone in the EDGE zone, or 3 steps back into 3G and have nothing.
My Tilt phone worked fine in both "zones," so I put in her SIM and had no signal in the 3G area, heh.
Oh.. well if the problem is persistant ill just get then to make me another similar

Uh oh...
Same problem for me here as well. Running CM7, was working fine until later in the evening when suddenly the network "died", and after several reboots noticed the little SIM problem icon next to the signal meter. I had the card locked, but went into settings and unlocked it. Now, logically if the phone couldn't read the card then technically I shouldn't have been able to change the PIN, so...
Confused over here. Is there a known fix to this? Or worse - how do I broach the subject with ATT if I have to go in?

I don't know about the fix about it, but concerning talking with AT&T, I'd recommend calling Warranty exchange first. They'll let you go through some hoops like getting your imei and possibly cleaning out your sim card with a rubber eraser. They'll also run some network tests on your phone to see if there are any "down towers" in your area. In the end, just request for a replacement sim card from them and have them note on your account that you want to get it free. Ask for confirmation if it's in your account, then head for the nearest AT&T corporate store. They'll tell you you'll have to pay $25 to get a replacement sim card or something, but just say that warranty sent you and it's noted on the account: should get you your sim for free, if possible.
I have never had a problem getting a new sim card for free from a corporate store. Just go in and ask for one.
My Galaxy S 4G has this problem were out of no where, ill completely lose service. When I go to settings>wireless>mobile networks> it won't let me in to the menu and just shows the message "insert Sim card to access network"
I called Tmobile and had a new Sim card activated and still it will not read. I removed the Sim and placed it in another phone and it functions just fine.
I then flashed my phone from froyo to gingerbread and the problem never occurred again. I then rooted my phone and installed cwm. Im running the ROM octane v2.x... Worked fine for under a week and now its doing it again.
It used to go anywhere from a few mins to maybe 2hrs before it starts to read the Sim again... But right now its been 5hrs and still no network.. Does anyone know what is causing this issue?
Its the sim tray on your phone. Its loose/malfunctioning
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Can this be remedied with some solder or do I have to replace the entire tray? And is this even feasible?
Yea it can be fixed. Look up youtube videos on it. Gl!!

I was changing my V6 Supercharger settings yesterday when I noticed my cell service crap out. I thought it was due to me changing from build.prop to local.prop, but changing the setting back did not resolve the issue. So, I unSupercharged.. nothing. Wiped data, cache, dalvik and reinstalled Tweakstockv1.1.. nothing (via CWR). Odin'd Tweakstockv1.. nothing. Odin'd Tweakstockv1.1... nothing (left battery and SIM in while Odin'ing, like I usually do).
I tried pulling the battery and SIM card but that didn't help. I checked my Verizon account - it's active.
What in the fudgeballs just happened? Does it sound like a fried SIM?
I just Odin'd Tweakstockv1 for ****s and gigs WITHOUT the battery and SIM card installed... No cell service, but mobile data came back.
What in the balllllllls?
Flash it back to stock and bring it to Verizon store.
It may just be a bad SIM card. Take the card into the store and they should replace it for free. May want to flash back stock as recommended above prior to your visit.

You might be right with the bad sim card idea. Its always been recommended to Odin without sim card in phone.
I've stumbled across people who have needed to go into Verizon and get a new sim card.
Good Luck

Guess the last thing i would try before getting new sim is to flash the radios.

Haha I forgot to mention that I flashed the EP4D radios
FML.
Can I use a coworker's SIM card to test? Or do I need a brand new one from Verizon? I'm thinking I can use another SIM card since Verizon activates via the device's IMEI?

wont work like that with Verizon. Your co-worker with have to unregister their device with that sim. Than you would have to register that sim to your phone. More hassel than your co-worker is going to want to deal with.
Ah, that's what I feared. Oh well, off to the Verizon store I go

Verizon is sending me a new phone. "The baseband kernel somehow got messed up"
They didn't even try a new SIM since the mobile data network was connected.

What on earth are you talking about? You can switch sims through 4G phones just fine. I have a Revolution and also a Charge, I can swap between them just fine. The Charge was on brothers line, but I just installed my sim and everything worked prefect

I can admit when I'm wrong. Going from 4g phone to another 4g phone it will work.

This is not my forum, I don't have one yet, I have the bell, samsung galaxy s2 hd lte. It's a brand new device 9 days old, it started yesterday saying "no sim card inserted " I had you pull the battery and sim card then reboot, it was fine again for 12 hours now it's happened twice?? Anyone else experienced this??
Our phones are similar, bell said get a new sim, which I will tomorrow, however after a Google search this seems to be a popular error with the s2.
Thanks

Are you on the stock ROM? Are you rooted? Did you flash anything to the phone or change the ROM, Kernel, or modem? If you haven't done any of this, I would try the new SIM card. If that doesn't work, exchange the phone. If you have done something, try going back to stock and see if it resolves the issue. Alot of times it comes down to the modem / radio being mismatched to a ROM or Kernel.
im having the same problem, the way to fix it is odin flash the firmware from sammobile, buttt i cant connect my phone via usb anymore thus im stuck with this problem ;(
2 Possible Solutions(Easy Fix)
1, wait out the data outage in your area. We are on ATT and having the same exact issue and when I called 611(Customer Service) the automated answering system told me that they are currently experiencing data outages in my area. could be due to a tower/service upgrade being that 4G is coming out in more areas now.
2, call 611 and set up your phone model with the customer service rep at the technical support extension.
I would put a 3rd option... but I haven't tried flashing a new rom yet, I just got the Skyrocket as a free refurb from Insurance and I am currently on an unrooted stock GB ROM.
yes flashing to original rogers tar using odin did fix it.. but if i try other roms its broken again, so for now it looks like ill have to stay with the original firmware
If you flash the ucle2 modem in SeanZscreams post it will most likely fix the issue on each Rom you flash as long as you flash the modem after.

To check to see if its your SIM card, use a USB Adapter or microSD -> SD adapter. Back up all your files then reformat it using: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ and then put back all your stuff and try again.
try this or other plp that have this problem try this pliz an coment

The error message that said I needed to insert a valid sim card happened again today while traveling home.
The good news is I think I figured it out!
The Galaxy S4 requires a "nfc" enabled sim card!
You can't tell by looking at the tiny sim but the larger card the sim comes in has a notation of "nfc" if it's the right card.
I hung out in the Verizon store after inserting it and the drove home "an hour drive" and absolutely no errors!
And I maintained a 4g signal throughout my whole trip which was through some back country where signal is usually marginal.
This is a pretty serious problem for Verizon.
Why?
1. Because if I would have ran around in safe mode it still would have errored.
2. If I would have reformatted to factory settings... The same... All for nothing and days of configuration lost.
3. If I got another new phone, again the same.... All because I would be using my same sim card.!
I'm sure many replace the whole phone "and" sim together and when it works it's assumed the problem was the phone or software.
What a terrible headache for the customer, tech support, and verizon customer service just because people don't know the proper sim card needed for the S4!

I have the 727 galaxy ii and started having the same no sim inserted message. Running stock, never rooted or anything. Turns out my solution was to reflow the solder around the sim card and that got it going again.
I'm in India right now on vacation. I own a rogers s2 lte. Recently I've been getting random popup messages saying my Sim card has been removed and i need to restart the phone. Thing is I did remove the Sim card for a minute or so a few days ago but I'm still on the same rogers Sim card and the phone is in flight mode the entire time. Its annoying for this to happen. Any ideas?
It could be a ROM or radio issue. Could also be a sim card slot issue, bent or broken pins etc.
Wish I could help, but you need to give more info. Are you running stock or a rom? Have you dropped it recently? It could be software or hardware, but nobody can help you if you don't give any info.
