Is there any reason why my infuse would just stop reading my sim card? Everything was working fine until I used odin to flash back to stock. Everything is back to stock, but now it won't read sim card. I have tried to flash several roms/kernels/etc and they all show the same problem now. I can't change APN settings because it says no sim card. Any one else had this experience and know a fix they'd like to share? I almost think it's not software related anymore, but I wasn't sure so it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks in advance for any help
Edit: have also reflashed using odin, and same thing happens. Also used different stock tar files and still same result.
Sounds like you mite of damaged the slot for the card

tried multiple sims, and it won't work on the infuse. Sim works fine on the gs2. I didn't see anyone else with this problem in the forums... so it looks like the sim slot just went bad?
Yes you would probably have to send it in because the prongs on the sim card tray are messed up or.... you can replace it yourself

Does it say there is no Sim card in the phone if not that flash a different modem if it does then you need the Sim card slot replaced

Missing SIM card
If you can get into your phone try reflashing the kernel that came with the ROM. Mismatched kernels can cause strange problems.

should i have flashed it with the sim card in?
i flashed whitehawkx's kd1 deodexed rom with odin 1.7.
i was scared of that messing crap up but i took it out for the flash and now i have no signal(searching) and 'mobile networks' in 'wireless and nework' says 'insert SIM card to access network services.' as if it's not inside.
it passed in odin :/ hrmmm
SGH-T959V
i'm seein tons of threads saying that the only issue you could have is a phone call or sms messing up the flash.
i'm going to flash it again now with my sim in but sd out.
wtf it STILL says to insert the sim. am i screwed?
edit: i actually had the sim in backwards >< so i did not flash it with the sim in. i noticed it was in wrong after the 2nd flash but even after i put it in correctly and rebooted it gives me the same issue. i read a couple more threads of horror stories where flashing with the sim inside caused the sim to become unusable. should i flash it with the sim in?
or should i do as suggested here?

Had that happen to me the other day, it was due to me dropping the phone. I actually had to get a micro screw driver and taker the phone apart, something was disconnected. When I put it back together it worked. If that doesn't work try getting a new sim card.

Try your sim card on another phone to see if everythings ok. Also try flashing another rom with the sim and sd card in. maybe kc1 and if it works then back to kd1

same thing happened to my phone, sim works fine in every other phone but the galaxy s 4g. i dont know whats the deal. it was working fine i was using it for navigation while driving and all of a sudden it got stuck and i took out the battery, put battery back and turned on, no network and since then cant make it to work no matter whatever i do.
i checked under about phone and baseband version says unknown, imei says unknown, imei sv also says unknown, i guess somehow the baseband and imei block is flashed in our phones while flashing, now as we have narrowed it down to the problem all we need is a way to flash it back.
anyone please help...

Well took it to my phone guy and all he did was shut it down, remove battery, remove sim and reinsert, and it worked fine. Strange because I did the exact same thing countless times.
So either the sim takes a couple restarts to recognize when I flash with it out, or the pins that touch and read the sim are extremely sensitive. At any rate it's working now
Ill flash with the sim in from now on

I had the same issue with the SIM card with the original stock ROM sometime ago. After reboot the phone just would not see the SIM card. I used some contact cleaner/enhancer on the card contacts and the issue never reappeared.

Sorry, I am bit confused...you did a full wipe, didn't flash a new rom and the old one is working?...have you tried swapping SIM Cards before? because not all sim cards are compatible with unlock Inspire....search the Ace Hack Kit thread, because someone came into that problem....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
Hope it helps...
EDIT: Sorry I just saw the error message the phone is sending you...haven't you erased anything?...If the sim card is ATT it doesn't matter is the phone is rooted or not....but haven't you erased anything? try using this menu:
dial * # * # 4 6 3 6 # * # * and then go to bands pressing menu. Check if the bands there.

I had a ton of stuff on the phone she did not want, So I did a full wipe and flashed the HD revolution rom again and still no service. I understand that not all sims will work but even putting mine back in there is no service.
Can it be something wrong with the radio?

Perhaps...but if you didn't change radios, have you?...then it might not be that.
Do the following...try go flash ARHD againg or an Stock rom and see what happens....maybe you had a bad flash....

I have an infuse locked with Rogers. Before unknown baseband version IMEI, I even did not root my phone. Have tried several ways which are found here for more than one month: Root, Flash rom, efs.rfs, modem, kernel. Problem still not solved.
Anyone can help me figure it out?
Thanks in advance.
Flash another modem... problem solved...done... your welcome...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Finally I intalled CWM to flash different modem. I got baseband and IMEI back at the first time I flash modem UCLB3. But at that time I did not have my SIM card inserted. Then I powered off my phone and put SIM card in, powered on. I got unkown baseband and IMEI again.
I tried to redo all the job I have done on my phone again.
1. Odin flash Stock rooted packages UXKG3:
Odin_UXKG3_rooted_no_bootloaders_v2.zip
2. Odin flash :Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.zip to get CWM
3. CWM flash different modem files.
Still no luck.
Any suggestions?

Try to flash different modem. It only comes back at the first time after flashing.
Since when I re-insert SIM card, I will lose the baseband vesion and IMEI number again.
I also flashed "[ROM][UCKL2][2.3.6]ALL HAIL *Z*E*U*S*The Collective[3/5/12]". The same problem occurred.
I guess something wrong with hardware in the SIM card area. But not 100% to comfirm this problem.
I got stuck at this point. Anyone can give more clues?
Thanks.
Try gtg's back to stock.... Works for me....

My phone no longer goes to 4g. if I flash back to the stock rom, then it works.
I've tried slimkat, slimbean, andybonestock, and cyanogenmod. On any custom rom 4g no longer works, only 3g.
Also I am on the latest firmware/radio/modem
My Phone is set to CDMA+LTE/EVDO, and whats weird... is that if I set the subscription type to NV then I GET LTE... but sms and calls do not work, only data.. Switch back to SIM then everything works but only 3g..
This happened to me. You'll need to flash the root66 build with odin. There's a set of instructions somewhere. I would link it but I'm on my tablet. Google it and let me know if you need help.

I tried out my gf's SIM card while she was over. I had 4g again and on her phone she was only getting 3g like i was.
Went to verizon and got a new one, now it works!!
I do want to know what caused my card to go bad though... Worked when i first got my phone.

Do you have a hard case on your phone? Before I put one on I walked into a table corner and busted my sd card. Not a stretch to imagine it happening to a sim card. The back on this phone is way to flimsy.
Ive never dropped it and ive had an otterbox case on it since i got it.
