Okay I have a very interesting situation going on. So I have the Rogers GS2 LTE. Had it unlocked over a year ago. Anyway this weekend I decided to upgrade my step daugher's Captivate with the GS2 LTE. we are both rogers customers on the same account. Anyway, i put her sim card in the phone. and noticed that it wouldn't boot. Finally it booted but got the no sim card error. so I thought that was weird and used ODIN to go back to stock. Still had the issue. Went to Rogers and got a new SIM card for her phone and still got the error.
Then today at work, I was playing around with the phone but only had my Speakout sim card with me. I was in the service menu and i was frustrated so I just started to push buttons and low and behold it reconized the sim card and started to work. I must say I was very pleased with myself that I was able to get it working. (nothing recorded on what I did of course). So i set up the phone and download most of her apps, thinking how great it was that I was able to fix it.
Well I get home and proceed to put her SIM card in the phone. "No Sim Card" again..... So thinking that I screwed it up. I put the speakout sim back in and it works fine. (Speakout runs off rogers towers). I can swap them and rogers won't work but speak out will. now the funny thing I noticed is that with speakout it always shows my data connected at 4G even when I know speak out doesn't offer 4g and we don't have any 4G/LTE near my home.
So I am really at a loss. Since it works with speakout I know it's not a hardware issue. Unless it's a really messed up hardware issue. which only leaves me to the idea it has something to do with that service menu. Now what I am going to attemp is to flash back to stock (rooted her after I thought it was working properly) and then try playing with the menu again.
Either way this is one really messed up phone lolol So anyone else have any suggestions?
Okay so the saga continues.
Yesterday I again did a firmware upgrade via "Kies" and noticed that the phone was getting signal, so i made a test call and it went through fine with the rogers sim. Then all of a sudden went to "No sim inserted" again. Today applied the firmware update again and now i get an initial message of "the mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid sim card" and then the no sim inserted.
This is really starting to drive me crazy lol
Any suggestions? might try taking it back to Gingerbread and then maybe ICS to see if that has any effect. Any other suggestions?
Hey everyone,
Still trying to figure this out So i can make the phone recognize the sim card by doing the following:
*#197328640#
[1] DEBUG SCREEN --> [8] Phone Control --> [5] Simulation --> [3] HW Watchdog wait about 30 seconds then press [1] Force CP Crash.
After this, it seems to dectect the speakout sim card again and work. However after a reboot the sim is not detected again. So from my thinking it's not a hardware issue. i.e. I don't need to replace the sim card "Card" so to speak. What do you all think?

While navigating the hboot menus on my HTC Desire S, 2.3.5 Stock, Sense 3.0, I accidentaly pressed "simlock|"
It reported:
FAT32 init OK
Open MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
It has definitely messed something up: my phone boots, accepts my SIM pin, unlocks my SIM, displays my Mobile Provider as one of the network options to connect to, but fails to register with the network every time.
So it doesn't mention that the phone is locked, or ask me to enter an unlock code or anything... but the sim that was previously working is now not working at all...
Any ideas? Will an RUU or anything get my phone back to a working unlocked state?
First of all I would try this: remove SIM card, SD card and battery (everything actually), put them back and reboot the phone to see what happen.
As the last resort, If you don't mind reinstall all your apps and data (it will erase everything), you could simply execute and hard reset:

Thanks - did that - but no luck - the phone totally reverted to factory settings, but the SIM is still not registering on the network... it seems a change has taken place at an even lower level...
The error that you wrote gives you "fail". Doesn't look like it has been done something to the phone.
Do you have any other option in hboot?
How about turn off the radio a couple of times (airplane mode) then reboot?
I found this by the way:
http://www.simonjstuart.com/2011/05...not-allow-a-connection-to-this-network-error/
I remember I solve it by playing with airplane mode and turn off the phone few times, with my friend Desire S.
It definitely did something - for 4 hours, no ability to get onto mobile network. Seems it mayt have actually modified the SIM card. I managed to get it working again - I put the SIM in another phone, booted, and then put it back in my phone and it's working again - do you think that's possibly what fixed it?
Could it be.. you never know..
That's interesting thus, looks like the SIM card got somehow "resetted" by the other phone.
I'll keep this in mind for the future.
So got this shiny new phone and decide to root it for adblock etc.
The root went fine, I used the Xperia-L root zip not the chop--- something. So a while after that, maybe a day or two suddenly I get a No Service.
I went into Settings-Mobile Networks and try to choose the network manually, I couldn't, I can move through Auto and Manual but when I select Manual it always goes back to Automatic. Can you guys confirm that that settings doesn't work? Can you choose Manual instead of Automatic?
Then the phone scanned for available networks and it found my home network relatively easy...
NOW selecting my home network gives me the error "Could not join network right now. Please try again later"(or something like that). A minute after that a toast message pops up "Registered on Network" but I still get no service...
Anyone have any idea? I thought Sony phones are root friendly with them sponsoring CM and all....
I have tried everything. Unlock, relock bootloader, restored TA...flashed stock firmware....taking the sim card out while power is still on and inserting it again.....
So frustrating, thanks for any insight....:fingers-crossed:
It happened with me..
What I did is,
Switched off the phone
Removed SIM card
Restarted phone
Again switch it off
Inserted the SIM card
Restarted the phone..
It worked!
long story short i took apart my phone the screws under the battery cover to try and fix my head phone jack cause it no longer worked. so after putting every thing back together i get no service at all no data no nothing. i try and make a call it says "mobile network not available". i was rooted and running a custom rom. i did a recovery back to stock and still got the same thing. i even tried using odin to flash back and still got the same thing. Under the status options it says network searching for service mobile network type unknown and service state out of service. the phone also keeps asking me to go into global mode. ive tried taking out the sim card and put it back in with no luck. maybe its a bad sim card? can anybody please help!
I can't get a signal on my phone. It keeps showing the "emergency calls only" message. When I try to call someone, it shows an error message: "network not registered".
Weird thing is, it was working flawlessly a few hours ago. I didn't mod it, nothing is different. I just charged it and rebooted.
I tried toggling airplane mode on/off, factory reseting, and it didn't fix my problem. My IMEI shows up correctly on settings, and the phone is being used in the same region I bought it.
OBS: If I put the sim card on another phone, it works. When i put it back on the s6, it keeps working until i reboot it, and after that it doesnt register on the carrier network anymore.
Anyone can help me with this?
No one?
I've exhausted all my known options! I can't keep a phone that can't even be turned off. If the phone freezes, that means I'll not have a signal until i can find another phone to put my sim on, and then back again on mine...
I'd really appreciate some help, since support where I live is crappy and chances are that i'll have to take the loss on the defective phone if I can't fix it.
Went to the carrier, tried other sims, even other carriers sims. Still nothing.
You can't get warranty from who you bought it from or else samsung? it sounds like a defect somewhere, if you are lucky it could just be the simcard tray but else it is something inside the phone
Heres whats going on
I have reset the N5, and flashed the July MM image. Everything flashed fine.
I insert SIM before booting, Android doesnt see SIM... so i pulled out the SIM and reinsert while on, and it sees it.
The Signal goes into an empty triangle... It says you have voicemail. And nothing else happens.
No data, no service. *#*#4636#*#* shows the right selection, it gives me the option to turn on the radio, but if i click it, nothing ever happens.
Under phone info, it sees my phone number, the IMEI is fine, and its not blacklisted when i check multiple carrier's websites.
I just cant seem to figure out why it wont just acquire service signal even when APN settings are right.
Anyone got any tips, tricks or solutions to this?
Possibly damaged sim card or sim card reader?

dont think so, i think its software maybe.... When i do *#*#4636#*#* it will show my phone number on the top... if i remove SIM, the number becomes "unknown"... so i dunno
If it happens with all SIM cards, it could be a damaged sim reader as different areas of the SIM card contains different information? Not sure.
I have similar problem with MOB30P on T-Mobile network. The 4G LTE would work just fine (I can browse web etc), but the voice is where it is failing hard. I would have dropped calls along with calls not coming through (both calling out and receiving calls).
I downgraded to MOB30M and everything appears to working fine now. I have not opened any bug against Android yet, because I am not sure if I am the only one experiencing this problem.
Hi, I was googling for a problem like your one. My N5 does not recognise the sim at boot, but only if it is "hot". If I put it in the fridge for ten minutes and then reboot, all works fine until the next shutdown. I'm sure it's an hardware problem (already tried different sim) so I disassembled all the phone, and it looks perfect. With some cleaner for electrical contacts it can survive for some days, and then starts again. So sad, I don't want to change phone just for this stupid problem XD
I'm getting exact same issue with my Nexus 5 since CM13 0803 update, which brings MOB30Y to my phone I believe.
At first my phone could still recognize my carrier (China Unicom), but there is no signal.
Then I flash radio image from MOB30Y and the phone now cannot find SIM card completely.
Even reflashing factory image doesn't help.
I'm now trying to reflashing MOB30P to see if it helps.
Update to latest August security update radio and bootloader
