Rooted Samsung I9000 sim card not detected

Hi All,
I've just got an Samsung Galaxy S that is coded to a provider network.
So far so good ...
After I've installed an application and root the phone and then unroot it, my pone doesn't recognize my sim card ...
If I navigate to the Mobile Network from Settings then I get No SIM card inserted.
Facts to take into consideration:
- I have restarted the phone;
- I have applied a factory reset and lost all my data except music and files I've got on it;
- I have shacked the SIM card a little bit;
- I didn't applied a hard reset to it;
- I did tried to put a different provider SIM card and the message I get is to insert PIN then is asking for the UNLOCK NETWORK PIN;
- I am able to log in the phone but with no service
Please note that when starting / restarting the phone I get no Insert PIN popup
Anyone has an ideea why ?

I've got the same problem saptaru.
No sim card is detected in my Galaxy S.
If you happen to solve it, please, do not forget to post a comment.
After dialing #*1234# I can read:
PDA:
PHONE: Unknown
CSC:
I guess the IMEI cannot be recognized by the phone.
At least, I wrote it before rooting and flashing.
Any help will be highly apreciatted!

Hello,
After several restarts, hard reseting the phone and enable-disable networking I still get the sim card removed from time to time ... I don't really know how to debug this... if there is anyone on this forum with the right experience in order to debug the system please write me and maybe we can find a solution.
I must mention that I have unlocked my phone and also rooted it.
Thanks allot !

I have same problem now, can anyone help.

well my sim card has been identified but i can't seem to register on the network.....thats as far as i got as a noob with my first android (xperia x8)......can someone help me from here on......

i get nothing from sims from various networks, it doesn't even register as having a sim in it...
unlocked and darkys rom... driving me crazy, it basically a large mp3 player at the moment...

Maybe have installed the wrong ROM. i9000 has many bases and radios. I had this problem installing 900mhz ROM on a 850mhz sim.
Good luck

Hmm, ok this might be the issue, flashing the htc desire is so much simpler!!
Will try to find correct radios and stuff again...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Even I am having the EXACT same issues right now. I also did the factory reset but that doesn't help!

Have the same problem here. Have you managed to find a solution?

Hi everyone, I don't know if anyone is still interested but I've found that putting the phone into flight mode and then rebooting seems to work, because when I then turn flight mode off it asks me for my pin code and service is restored. As long as the IMEI folder is still in the efs folder then things should be fine.
Hope this helps for anyone who is here or just stumbles across this.

I've had the same problem > Sim Card not found.
I went to the Vodafone repair center today they said the phone had water damage.
Its never been near any water ever-they said that it could have happened months ago - "perhaps you hand wet hands once?". Its still in warranty but the apparent water damage means the warranty its now invalid. So now I'm stuck with an expensive video/audio player with WiFi access. Any help or progress with this issue would be great. Thanks

I fixed the issue bu flashing a working Modem from another rom. Just extract the modem.bin and flash it with odin

[Q] After Reflashing Sim Card is not detecitng.

Hi All,
I have MicroMax A100. Suddenly boot problem developed after unsuccessful installation of some games.
From Reflashing by above post able to boot device but could not detect sim card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842908&page=21
I tried all possible way i.e. remove battery & sim card as well as SDRAM for 10 mins. etc.
Nothing happens. Same SIM working well in other mobile.
When I google it I found many people having similar problem where after flashing SIM is not detecting. Is there any generic answer for this Generic Question.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe you could reflash or do another rom or reset your whole device.
Hope it helps

i would suggest you to try checking in other phones...(probably not a smartphone) i encountered the same problem after flashing my phone with the wrong ROM... somehow i got my SIM card running again.....
if you still face the problem... get your SIM card Replaced with a new SIM card and same number from your service provider. that way u can get your number activated:angel:

[Q] S4 clone mt6577

Hi,
I humbly ask for assistance on my issue.
To begin with I swapped my iphone5 for an s4 to join the android os, and sad to say the s4 provided was a clone.
Reality bites and I cannot undo the epic fail that has happened. So now I am trying to use this s4 clone.
Details:
- all the features of the s4 clone works okay when I got it, sim is being read and able to make calls and sms.
- it had a theme selector icon button, wherein if you click it, it allows you to select different themes to select and apply.
- i think it is rooted from the start
Problem started as follows:
- being the new user I applied factory reset on the phone via: settings-accounts-backup and reset-factory data reset(selected erase phone storage)-reset phone.
-phone reset did happen but problem is when phone restarted: the sim card is not being read by the phone, (sim management option is greyed out(via setting-mydevice)
-basically the phone is not reading the sim card
-tried changing sim card, I even brought the phone to a repairshop but told me they cant fix it because its a clone, but was advised it was not a hardware issue.
-repairman said the phone should be re-programmed, was advised that the sim card reader software probably got erased when the phone was factory reset.
-repairman also checked the IMEI and said that IMEI is okay (no problem)
-there is no problem with my sim since it works on my nokia phone.
Phone details:
Single sim (micro sim)
Mediatek mt6577 x2 1.001ghz (as per cpu identifier)
Hdc i9500 galaxy s4 layout (as per cpu identifier)
512mb ram
Powervr sgx 531 single core gpu

Wifi works
Compass works
Air gesture works only on home screen and apps screen
Please help me..I really want to enjoy the android os, I cannot get a real s4 now, given I wasted my iphone5 for a knockoff.
Hopefully someone can help me on how this s4 clone can read the sim again.
If you need any additional info for my device please tell me so I can help.

Please help.l

I have this phone and have not used this setting yet. I have a backup of my original so if something like this were to happen, I can just use that and get back to where I was.
Essentially, I think that you may have lost your root (or something) with the factory reset... Check if you are still rooted by downloading Root Checker by Joey Krim. It's free, and will tell you if you are rooted or not. If you aren't, then maybe the root is what made sure the sim card was readable...
Now, if you don't have a root, you can follow the instructions on this page: http://semayi.blogspot.com/2013/03/mxnec-m307-mt6577-rooting-and-back-up.html
For our phones, if it is "stock", the phone will read as rooted according to Root Checker. However, if you use the program stated in the article it will show a yellow box in the lower-right corner if rooted. The article states that box should be green if fully rooted. I also saw the Backup button grayed out because of this... I hit the "Root" button, and it fully rooted the phone after several minutes (maybe 10 or so). This allowed me to create a full backup of my phone (as well as create a custom recovery from a copy of that backup).
If you're still having issues, tell me any other things you've tried or any other details and we'll go from there.

samsung S4 clone problem
well i read your post and i have 2 phones with same situation as yours and phone is full functionally but no network and seen "emergency only "
so its clear its sim is not read or some problem with reading to sim ....
so if anyone have some idea to solve this issue please help us..........
thanks a lot......

basically, you need to re-write the IMEI's (should be behind the backcover under the battery) into your NVRAM. there are basically 2 ways of doing this:
generating the IMEI file manually or using MAUI META 3G, SN Write Tool or MTK Droid tools. the first 2 methods will hardwrite them to your device, so if you want to wipe again everything will work fine from start. last one will softwrite them and they got wiped again after a factory reset. for now, just download Droid tools, klick on imei something and enter your imeis. (device needs to be in debugging mode, check your settings for that)

Im having a similar problem can anyone help
Hi All,
Im experiencing the same issue as the original poster.. after lots of searching in a relieved to have found this thread. My Galaxy S4 Spark is showing "no sim card detected"..
Having checked my Imei number and it is different from that on the back sticker. I have tried using MTK Tools to change it to the original one which is 3573********29 every thing looks to be successful but when i reboot and check the imei using *(Hash)06(hash) it show my imei as 3573********28/01..
I have also tried changing it using the mobile uncle app with the same result.. Needless to say my phone is showing no sim.
IS this normal or should the IMEI be showing as exactly the same as on the sticker.
Thanks in advanced,
Jonathan.

what phone did i buy?
Hello guys,
A few weeks ago i bought a samsung s4 clone 1:1 copy.Last days ive been reading allot on the forums but as a noob i cant see the trees through the wood ...im stuck... i did manage to root my divice but only after trying 10 -20 times.I used mtk droid tools.
My question is if anyone can tell me if there are other roms for this Phone and what Phone did i buy.
I hope someone can help me out. thanks .

MT6577 DualCore 2x1 Ghz, Android ICS 4.0 (4.2.2 is fake), Kernel Version 3.0.13. Device maybe can identified as mtk77_cu_ics2, but there are maybe few other builds out there using this name. i would higly recommend to store your backup on a safe place, if you lose it while playing around with ROMs device may be bricked forever. i cannot link you to another ROM - you need to port them yourself if you don't find a working one. you can search and try different ROM's, needrom.com is a good way to go. before flashing anything, make sure you never replace preloader or DSP_BL in flashtool. that is, for now, all can say. you need to dig deeper into your firmware to get all needed informations.

[Q] xperia J security system problem(about sim card)

HEy guys
im using sony xperia J i rooted it and flashed a custome rome but when i used the 3g internet on it a title appeared that ENTER THE NETWORK PIN: so i thought it was my pin code. but every time i entered the pin it didnt work. so i flashed it several times and times after. i went to some repairing services in my own city and nothing....
the sim card is just gone and says that Invalid card and Emergency calls .....
every time i flashed the ICS or other roms all the features work except sim card.
as i figured out the problem is about sony security system that cant accept the sim card.(i should say that the phone recognize that there is a sim card , for example it asks for pin code)is it any way to solve this problem?
i saw all the forums and i saw an other tip that maybe it is for trim area or TA but as you know im not this much experianced to know about these thing.
anyway if you guys know a solution plz plz help me

Try this :
Flash STOCK ROM and wipe all data/stats/cache
Restart your device and try few other sim cards! See if the problem persists!
If it does, kindly write back and we will look into it in details!

i think that there was some problem in the "Phone.apk" of the custom rom you used. i have seen such cases in the forum before. Now your mainboard has to be changed

Huawei Shotx ath-ul01 sim problem.

hi reader. its been almost 1 month since i bought a second-hand Huawei Shotx ath-ul01. when i bought, it was on android 5.1.1, EMUI 3.1. and update was pending for android 6.0 . On first 5 to 6 tries it did not update and ended with error. and when it finally updated successfully it was unable to read both sim cards. and after rollback it even got worst . now when ever i insert a sim card it asks for PUK code and doesn't even accept the real PUK code for my SIM card. i have also tried changing SIM card but the problem is same wit every SIM. Please some one help me through this. i'll be very thank full.
HOPE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU SOON!

Has the device been rooted ever before?
If you have not any better idea, try to perform a factory reset(wipe data) + wipe cache partition after a full backup. Good luck to you.

now somhow i managed to install ath-ul01 but the problem still exist. now i think i just have to flash modem.img somehow, but i cant do that, my bootloader is unlocked but i cant perform any command related to MODEM. like FASTBOOT ERASE MODEM or FASTBOOT FLASH MODEM MODEM.img these commands wont work.
system related commands work like a charm.
