i would flash back the att stock rooted rom. If that doesnt work then flash back to non rooted rom. Before doing that check your apn settings under mobile network type and make sure they are still there.

The back cover has to be on the phone.

It happens to us all....

cmtslist posted this http://www.multiupload.com/JELMZNSKDF it is complete stock not rooted. put on the root of your sd card. Not in a folder. To flash reboot into hboot

thats a last resort

[Q] No signal after the T-Mobile Update

So this morning I got the software update to 1.84.531.2, but now, no matter what I do, the phone has no signal at all times. Did anyone else have this issue?

Botched radio flash? You could always try flashing it manually if you're rooted.

Is there any way I could do this without root/custom recovery? I want to keep it stock since I'm going to the store today to talk to them about my bill, so I MAY be lucky to get it exchanged if anything.

Not without being rooted
I would take it to store and get new one
backup what you can to pc

PREPARING SIM .. nothing after that.. no signal

this is how it goes, i received a att htc one x from some of xda only..
he said that the phone is already unlocked and he was using it on tmobile..
i'M from india.. AND I'M SERIOUSLY F*CKED UP RIGHT NOW ..
MY PHONE HAS NO SIGNALS.. IT ALWAYS SAYS "PREPARING SIM WHEN I TOGGLE AIRPLANE MODE" BUT NOTHING AFTER THAT .. NO SIGNALS//
ANY ANY KIND OF HELP IS APPRICIATED .. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP

Did you tried a new sim card?
Also there's a trick to add some regular office tape to the back of the sim card to try to make it thicker thus making the sim have better contacts with the phone.

just add a couple of layers of scotch or packing tape to the back. something light. dont use anything like duct tape

Are you sure its SIM unlocked?
There is SIM unlocking and boot loader unlocking.
They are different. You want SIM unlocked.
You can buy a SIM unlock code from websites.

i added 2 layers of tape on my sim .. though it is the cello tape .. transparent one//
but NO, NO SIGNALS at all.. should i add more layers?
AND YES MY PHONE IS SIM UNLOCKED.. IT DOESN'T ASK FOR ANY CODE WHEN I INSERT MY VODAFONE SIM..
how come the real owner of the phone says it is working for him and not for me ?

can the update to 1.85 help?

it does tranfer my sim contacts to phone ..

factory reset. and/or try new RUU. doesn't work still = damage to the sim reader pins OR your micro sim is damaged. check apn settings too

my phone does read my sim , because it has transfered my sim contacts to the phone ..
i think there is some problem with the radio.. i'm going to update it to the latest ruu first ..
my interenet is sucking like hell right now :'(

Digging up a thread that is almost a year and a half old and just saying "I have the same problem" without any specifics is not the right way to post a problem.
Is your phone modded (bootloader unlocked, custom ROM, etc.)?
What are you bootloader details?
Stock ROM or custom? If custom, which one?
Did you flash anything recently? What was it?
Did the issue arise after flashing something new, or just started on its own?
Also, a solution was already posted several times on this thread. Did even bother to read the thread, and try the fix?

Well, did you try to put tape on the SIM, as suggested multiple times on the thread?
Also, if you tried something, and it didn't work, than you need to state that when asking for help.
And dude, you aren't even in the right forum section. This is for the One X/XL, not the One.

It doesn't matter which radio you flash, as long as it's an Evita radio it's compatible. You've possibly got a hardware problem. Have you tried running an RUU?

[Q] [Help] Skyrocket go down!

hi everyone. I need some help here with my At&t Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. I had my phone unlocked and work on T-mobile GSM fine but I only got EDGE for data. I then flash it with with a T-mobile radio according to the instruction here at XDA forrum to try to get 3G/4G. after flashing the radio the baseband in the phone showed "unknown" and I lost both GSM and EDGE. the phone even didn't recognize my SIM card,I don't know If I did something wrong.
Here How I did
1. I flash CWM 5.8.x
2 I update to CWM 14.x.x touch version
3. Root the phone with SuperSU busy box
4. Flashing tmo_SGH-T989_VK1.zip radio
5. No signal.
It seem to be the radio I tried to flash didn't go in correctly. BTW I still keep the stock ROM form At&T (ICS 4.0.4)
Any one have experienced the same problem like me ?
Thank you very much for helping me out.

Just so I'm clear, you flashed a T-Mobile Only Radio on an A T&T Sim card? Check your APN too.

I flashed T-mobile radio on AT&T phone not SIM card. I lost my original AT&T Radio and new T-mobile radio didn't go in, now the phone doesn't read my T-mobile SIM card. I cannot access mobile network to check APNs without a valid SIM card since the phone doesn't see it.

thank you for you suggestion.
I finally understand the problem the phone simply doesn't accept the radio. I flashed the new radio and turn out the original radio was removed and new one didn't go in. when i flashed a full stock ROM the original radio came back. may be the ROM and radio have to be compiled together.

Uh no you have to flash the modem before the ROM to get a good flash from what I've seen. Also I think almost every radio exempting maybe gingerbread radios as I haven't tested them should work on every ROM exempting maybe tw based.

The Rom or radio can be flashed in any sequence. The order they are flashed in has no effect.

Fixed that for you. You forgot to mention that you have to hold your breath while you wipe dalvik 3 times, cache 6 times, factory reset 2 times, perform a backup and then flash a kernel from a different device.

[Q] flashed radio, having problems

Hey all, so i decided i wanted to try out some radios (was running viper xl)
and tried flashing a few different radios
from this thread and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694012
this section
"These are radios for flashing in Sense OR CM 10.x builds after 7/15 nightly!!!. They don't include the RIL files."
anyways, now i have been problems, phone randomly thinks sim card is being removed/inserted.
and having random reboots
tried flashing the 3.18 ruu
and flashed viper again,
and am still having these problems
so what else can i do?
any suggestions would be great

Hboot details are in the screen shot. TWRP 2.7.0. Viper 4.2.0. Kernel is beastmode 3.4.10.
So my problem that I am having is that my phone continues to loose all data and voice service due to the phone telling me that there is no sim. I have tried different Radios with no differnce. sometimes the phone will start reading the sim if I toggle the phone into airplane mode.

I believe the radio is your problem, you need to make sure you have one of the radios that came bundled with Sense 5 releases installed. They'll be the ones that are 1.31 and upwards.

Ok, I read something similar to what you are saying and I did flash a radio 1.31 from this link with is 2.15 firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2517148. However the same problem was still happening. After flashing the current radio (from the above attachment), what I have noticed is that the No Sim icon only seems to happen when I have WiFi turned on for an extended time, this was just a brief observation from last night and this morning.
I am about to flash a stock RUU (possibly the 5.18) to 1) get the phone up to date with the latest firmware and 2) to see if this will help with my Sim Card problems. Or should I use a different RUU to start from Stock again?
Also When looking at the Radios thread I dont see any radios that are 1.31 and up for ATT. All of them seem to begin with 0.xx. The thread i am looking at is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694012

With S-Off and my CID all 1s I wouldnt have to worry about doing the root again? After the RUU i should be able to install TWRP again and then a custom rom?

Your bootloader will remain unlocked, your CID will remain as 11111111, and your s-off status will survive the process. It's as simple as flashing TWRP afterwards and then the ROM of your choice.

Did the issue start after flashing the ROM, or any other mods. Of did it just randomly start happening? Have you tried the stock kernel?'
Have you tried the trick of simply putting Scotch tape on the SIM (don't cover the contacts) to "fatten" it and force it to make better contact in the SIM tray? Loose SIM tray is known to cause the same issue.

To my best knowledge the issue started happening randomly. Phone was working fine for some time while I was one Viper. I believe but not 100% I started noticing this after a drop so a loose tray could very well be the problem. Also this issue was present with the stock kernel as well.

Those answers (randomness, possible dropped phone) to me point to loose SIM tray. Also, have you tried taking the SIM out, and putting it back in, to make sure its seated properly (if dropped, it could have loosened it)?
If none of the suggestions work, you might also try to get a new SIM from your carrier.

No i havent tried taking it out. I will try that out tonight. If all else fails I may end up going for a referb phone, but now with 5.18 I might hold off for as long as i can.
Thanks for your help as well.

To all, would disabling Google play services have any affect on the SIM card. I ask because after I flashed the 5.18 RUU I flashed a recovery and the flashed Viper. Phone was up and running about 1pm yesterday. Phone ran good with no problems the rest of day. This morning I unplug the phone from charger and within an hour or so I'm already at 87 percent battery. Looking up what is keeping the phone awake the culprit Google play services ( getting very annoyed of this app) so I force stop and disable play services and within one minute I get that icon of no SIM card. So with my story does google play services have any affect on the SIM cards? And how can I limit the wake locks of Google checkin.
Sorry for the long post.
