Skyrocket not reading Sim Card at all - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hi,
I recently sent off my skyrocket to get fixed to mobiletechvideos. I got the power button replaced(for I had no time to fix it myself) and got it back today. However, my phone will not even read my sim card. I am using a micro sim adapter, since I had to change it over when I got my previous Lumia 900. I think the adapter is fine( I hope so) and I cannot see why it is not reading it. If anyone knows a solution or if I should report back to whoever fixed my phone then I will, but is there a common issue i'm missing?
Much thanks!

Will be watching this thread as I am having a similar issue. however I didn't have any repairs to my phone, just stopped reading the sim card this past weekend for no good reason lol

Get a new sim from att and try it.

Update:
It shouldn't be my sim card, I'm using it perfectly fine in my Windows Phone. The issue is baseband says unknown. I spoke to Josh at MobileTechVideo and he said to restore it back to stock with odin, I did and it did not resolve the issue. Anyone have a solution?

I don't think it's the SIM card either. Even without a sim card you should still have a baseband. Have you tried that? Before you returned to stock did you have a custom Rom? If so did you try flashing a radio?

No Baseband at all, I did, however, following the previous posts, I sent it off to MobileTechVideos to get the power button fixed, came back with the sim card not being read. It has had the baseband unknown since then. I called them and by their recommendation I should flash it back to stock, which contained a modem.

Idk, it should be working. See if you have a baseband without the SIM card in. Maybe the card is doing something

Nope, I'm praying that it isn't anything internal dying out, Josh said something in the device could not be working.

No sim card

Edit: NEW QUESTION
I DIDN'T MAKE A NEW POST THIS IS JUST AN OLD POST
9/19:
i was using my p500 during the day. works. i switch it off for a few hours. then i switch it back on. it says cannot detect sim card. I tried many different roms same thing. I verified that i do have v20g baseband installed and I have reinstalled baseband too.
I swear it was working several hours ago... I tried everything i could think of(except kdz... don't want to go there)
this happened while i was on paranoid android. it was working just fine until today. I flashed cm7, miuigb, miuiv4, jb, cm9 all same result
Format and make a new ext3 and then try restoring.. maybe then it might work!!
Found another backup from before I was using s2e
Restored as much as I could
installed amonra
Hope it doesn't come again

I think it's a hardware problem because if you were on old bb it would recognize the sim card but wouldn't receive any signal

Check if other sim are working on phone. It might be possible that your sim is old and not working anymore. Just get a new sim.
Also dont forget to check the sim terminals on phone.

No data randomly

Just got my GS3 yesterday. Rooted before I paid for it I'm running the stock OS with root but I seem to lose my data connection constantly. It stays lost until I toggle airplane mode. Any way to fix this? Thanks

I have this same problem, but it happened to me after I had lost my IMEI and then manually injected it myself. I've ready tried reprovisioning about 3 times, but to no avail. Idk if our problem is caused by the same thing or not, but it is extremely bothersome, isn't it? I wish some genius could help us

I didn't do anything with the IMEI except back it up using the terminal emulator and the "reboot nvbackup" command. Not even sure if it did anything or not. How do you reprovision the phone? What does that even [claim to] do? A google search shows a lot of people complaining about this. I hope someone comes along and helps too.

If you reprovision, it will wipe all your data and such. Idk if you wanna try it. I only tried it because someone suggested it, but it was pointless. So, if you were gonna try that, you would want to nandroid backup first. The way to reprovision if you're interested is dial *2767*3855# that'll do the trick for you. I hope someone comes along to help as well. After a while some fix usually comes around. Just gotta be patient sometimes

Interesting. I wonder what the reprovisioning actually does. I didn't flash CWM yet since I'm running the stock bootloader, and it is locked. I heard that unlocking the bootloader can cause trouble if an OTA update changes things on it.

I would suggest that you just download ROM Manager from the app store, open it up, and at the very top it will say flash clockwork mod recovery. Hit that and it should be a done deal. Let me know if you have any problems

Thanks. That worked, and I now have CWM installed. I also did a backup to internal SD. Is the SGS3 like the Galaxy Nexus? (Meaning that even rooted, the stock OS will overwrite CWM with the default bootloader)

I know, it might be a while. On the plus side mine seems to be behaving, but I haven't changed physical locations since the last time I had to toggle Airplane mode. We'll have to see what happens when I leave work.

About data/signal issue, that's not your IMEI. It more than likely is your sim card. I had to get 2 replacements from Verizon due to a weak signal. Another simple thing to try is to be sure data roaming is ON in the settings menu, and restart. That is known to work. Rooting prob did not cause this to happen, the S3 has signal issues to begin with. Do not start running scripts to attempt to fix without going through the verizon fixes first. Stay on stock rom, hide your root apps and bring in to get sim card. They won't check for root.
Plan B is to call *611 and speak to someone, they can push a signal code through to fix. Don't say your rooted!

Oh but we shall see what happens when I change towers. To compare, and diagnose this issue, how is your phone setup. Mine is as follows:
Purchased at: Small business authorized reseller
Contract: On contract
Purchase date: 9/5/12 (opened a new account, not adding a line)
OS/ROM: Stock 4.0.4
Rooted: Yes
Bootloader: Locked (had it unlocked temporarily to see if I could do it, but I relocked it to diagnose the data issue)
Recovery: CWM
ICS Encryption: Not turned on (I don't think I can use it now that I have CWM installed anyway)
Apps that run at boot: Call Recorder by Skvalex
Root apps installed: SuperUser (duh), Rom Manager, CallRecorder, Terminal Emulator (used it to execute "reboot nvbackup" as a supposed IMEI backup method)

So far all I've done is "reboot nvbackup" to supposedly backup my IMEI, but I have no idea if it did anything. I'll double check data roaming, but I don't want to rack up a roaming bill. Also I don't have to worry about my store finding out if I root. The sales guy helped me root it before I even paid for it.
The guy I dealt with helped with root questions for me too at actually vzw store... Funny! Sim should do the trick. And yes, that script you ran backed your IMEI correctly, so it's not that. Data roaming is to see if it improves issue, if it does, your having network issues that are not phone related. There is no reason to keep that option on unless your lost in the woods and need data!

I know it's IMEI, I was just saying it started happening after I got it back. The Roaming thing didn't work for me. Would you suggest getting a new SIM card first or calling *611?

First partner this is in the wrong section, pretty sure you sent releasing anything. Second it sounds like you sim card went bad, get a new one from Verizon. Also, it doesn't hurt to Odin back to factory it can cure a lot if problems. I like to do it every now and then just to clean up.

Yes I odin'd back to bone stock then reset. Radio is doing weird stuff. Now I don't get any data but 1x network that doesn't allow the call to complete. Says I'm roaming when I'm not. looks like something fried somewhere along the lines.

[Q] SD and SIM problems

I was wondering can someone help me fix my SD and SIM problems. The phone wont read or even detect a network since the SIM and SD are not working. I followed the instructions here http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S+4G+Teardown/4977/1. But still to no avail. Can someone try and help me fix my Galaxy S 4G? Wifi and other features do work.
There are people having the same problems aswell. http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s-4g/376857-sd-root-issues-galaxy-s-4g.html
I did star getting this issue after I re-flashed Cyanogen 9-20120830-UNOFFICIAL-Galaxy4gmtd 4.0.4 version
When I turn Debuggin on or off, it detects my phone but rapidly disappears.
