After flashing a GB rom I am no longer able to access the T-mobile network. My sim card is no longer detected and I have absolutely no network connectivity. I have tried to flash back to froyo and back to other GB roms without any success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check under phone info and see what your baseband version is.
There is a dumb little problem that I've seen pop up a few times where the IMEI goes missing and the baseband number with it... then this happens...
If the sim card isnt being read at all, as in (please insert sim), shouldnt matter with imei as imei has nothing to do with service. Even with a null/ 000000000 imei, calling, texting, data all works. Its probably your sim card tray.
If your sim card is read, but just no bars, etc, then try reflashing and factory resetting.

My baseband version is "unknown" and my phone says I need to insert sim. If it is my sim card tray, then how do I get it fixed? Thanks.

I had the same problem a month ago, and found a good handful of threads on it. Most of those threads also reported missing base band and imei. I resolved it by flashing back to 100% stock and starting over. Not saying it'll fix you for sure but it worked for me.

Had a similar issue a few months ago, flashed a different ROM and it went away. Not sure is it was a coincidence but recently upgraded to stock KJ6, everything was fine for a few days then all of a sudden no T-Mobile network/ Manually logged on, crappy signal, white 4G icon, calls dropping, I can hear caller, they can't hear me etc... Figured the network might be swamped due to Thanksgiving holiday, waited a day but it got even worse. My wife's SGS4G meanwhile continues to have great signal- not a sim issue as I swapped hers in to my phone and it still sucked. Called T-mobile tech support, new phone arrives this Friday. They blamed it on the upgrade to VUVKJ6, I wan't going to argue with them as I didn't have the phone insurance (I do on the new one) and they said that because it happened after the KJ6 upgrade it was on them .... it only cost me $20 for a brand new replacement.
I do have to say that T-Mobile customer service kicks ass.
Try flashing a different rom to see if itll fix the problem. The last resort would be resoldering. Try all other options first.

Thanks for the replies. I tried flashing to 100 percent stock and nothing changes. It doesn't matter what I flash to or how many times I restore factory setting and wipe all user data. I always end up with a phone that doesn't detect the T-mobile sim card or the network. I requested an exchange for 20 dollars since my phone is still under warranty... I hope I will be able to flash to a different ROM next time without the same problem.

I seem to be in the same predicament after flashing KJ6.
Spent the whole day flashing different ROMs, to no avail.
Guess my only option is contacting t-mo, and see if i can get a replacement.
Will they know if i updated through Kies, or Odin?
i'm in the same boat. bought my phone unlocked through amazon two months ago and upgraded to stock KJ6 through Kies when tmo released it. worked fine until two days ago. SIM works in other phones, IMEI number looks good, APN settings look good. Haven't tried switching to other builds because all the threads I've seen here at xda and other forums seem to show that doesn't change anything.
didn't realize how much i liked my phone until i went to the backup motorola zine the last few days. bogus.
Before you send your phone back make sure it is 100 percent stock ROM and not rooted. Also, factory reset and wipe all user data.

Thanks.
I did know all that. Just wasn't sure of they could still tell I didn't do it through Kies.
Anyway, just contacted T-Mobile, and my new phone should be here Monday.
Awesome customer service.
My t-mobile exchange phone arrived and I upgraded to latest GB via Kies and then I flashed Dr. Honks latest kernel and everything works. No network or sim problems.
I am really happy with T-mobile customer service too. My phone arrived only 3 or 4 days after I requested an exchange. No questions asked.
From what I have been reading on the forums, it doesn't matter if the phone was upgraded via kies or flashed via odin. The phone just has to have 100 percent stock
Damn having the same problem,no sim card detected.No baseband,no IMEI.Went stock via Odin,nothing.Went to stock Froyo and still nothing :-(
sgs4g, same problem...only mine im sure is the sim tray. this was a refurbished phone i bought from craigslist, brand new.
stock froyo, gb, rooted ocataine, doesnt matter- every few weeks it would say insert sim..
Now im just gonna call and tell them it happened after the upgrade because it was there faulty phone to begin with.. now how can i go back to perfectly stock? and does that mean i should send it back on froyo or gb?
I've had/am having this problem. I brought my phone to the UK and I had this issue when I tried a new carrier. 3 weeks ago I was able to plug my phone in to the charger and then put it in airplane mode and out and I had no issues until I tried a 3rd carrier today and now the issue is back and my previous fix isn't working. Because I'm not using T-mobile and bought the phone off of a friend I'm hoping I can find a way to fix this without sending in my phone because that really isn't an option.

I removed the battery and sim from my phone for 10 min. Put everything back in, booted and everything is working as it should be. Hope this helps.
Glad you found the battery fix, I have stated that fix in a couple of threads, and started a thread called No carrier signal + IMEI problems = Take out your battery, but it has been pushed down like 3 pages cause no one comments on it.

The link you posted is no good, can you tell me where it was at? Also what are all of the steps to get SIM or IMEI working again just the remove SIM and Battery for 10 Minutes?
There are a lot of people who flash custom ROMS on Telus, Rogers, Wind and T-Mobile who have this problem and if what you are saying works then that needs to go viral. What is strange is that some have the issue same ROM and Phone and others don't it's a hard issue to try an troubleshoot to say the least.
Any more info on this subject would be awesome bro.
Thanks,

bought a phone t959v with a cracked screen on ebay took out main board and put it in a new lcd assembly. phone will not connect to t-mobile. says not registered on network. i thought it might have been a bad sim reader so i put one in i new worked from a different phone. still no good . called t-mobile verified phone was not locked . they did a hard reset, still nothing. i notesed it is running 2.3.6 and i have up to 4 bars reception with antenna. does anyone have any idea what the problem could be. thanks
Check your IMEI in Settings -> About phone. Don't post it. Compare it to the IMEI behind your battery. If it is the same we can probably get you up and running. Let us know.
ok thanks will get back to you tomorow phone is at work
number in phone is different. called t-mobile number is blocked. told me to bring it to t-mobile store. if they cant do anything is there any other way to get it unblocked
Which number is blocked? The one behind the battery would seem to me to be the one that matters. That is the number you should see in your settings.
And report whoever sold you the phone on ebay if they didn't tell you the IMEI was messed up.
There is way to recover?
He can ask Odia for help if the IMEI behind the battery is good and T-Mobile can't fix it.
WHo is ODIA?

what do you mean by blocked?
Its black listed. Meaning it came from a stolen phone. It appears the OP bought a phone and was scammed. I would return the phone and do a charge back via paypal.

has anyone had this issue where it says "Mobile Network Not Available". I was running CleanRom 4.5 and installed the 4.5 keyboard and clock and all of a sudden I lost my network connection. what is weird is the 4G works fine. I just can't receive or make calls/text messages. Does anyone have any idea what may be the problem? I've returned my phone to stock, cause I'm thinking I'm going to have to take it back to Verizon. Just wondering if maybe anyone knew a fix for this.
That's weird. I'm running 4.5, and I have not seen that. Is data back now?

Yeah, i dont know what caused it to happen. I didn't even really notice it wasn't working, cause I never lost data. i've always had 4G signal. i just can't make phone calls or send texts. at one point it did say mobile network not available, but now it just doesn't make calls at all. the screen looks like its making the call, but you do not hear any dial tone or anything. For sure it was working yesterday because i was on a four hour call last night. Just stopped out of nowhere today.
I had the same issue the other day. Did you backup your IMEI/MEID info? Check and see if they are still there in about phone, also check your ERI and if your network is listed.

I just got back from the Verizon store after spending 2 hours there. It did seem like it was an IMEI issue. They mentioned my phone having a different number than what was on the phone itself and they could find no way to correct it. The verizon tech support that they called were insisting that it was a network issue and not a phone issue, so they opened a trouble ticket to try and resolve that. they said 24-72 hours to get it resolved. luckily, the store clerks and managers thought support was full of it, so they decided to overnight me a replacement phone anyways just in case, even though they were told not to. so hopefully the new phone fixes the issue. I'm just glad that they helped me out because I didn't buy warranty or anything on the phone so they probably could have flat out denied me. Fingers crossed that all is good in a couple of days
I did back up my IMEI the first time I rooted the phone, but since they're helping me out, I'm just going to wait for the new phone and hope that that fixes it.
I had the exact same issue I just call this number
*2767*3855#
If that doesn't work flash back to stock lock the phone do the number again

Take out your battery and look for the IMEI number that is listed underneath it. Write it down. Then boot your phone back up and go to settings, about phone, status, and make sure that the number your wrote down matches the IMEI number on the phone. If it doesn't, then you'll need to restore your IMEI and probably repair your ERI.
Read this thread. It explains how to repair them both:

I had this exact same problem yesterday. I noticed it occurred when I left a 4G area. I couldn't connect to the network anymore and it prompted me to switch to global mode. My IMEI number on the back of my phone matched the number in the status too.
The way I fixed it was by doing an nvrestore in terminal emulator. You need to have a backup in place in order to do this. I believe you can find more about it in the IMEI thread in android development. It should be the first step and they'll probably be able to help you more there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
Also, I'm running Clean Rom 4.5, stock kernel, and the vrlg7 radio.

Thanks - will try this out and let you know if any success.
My phone was on clean rom 5.0, Loved it. Everything worked great for 2 months. 3 days ago I flashed CM10. Worked alright. Then flashed MIUI (pre-most recent update). Also worked fine except for some screen flickering. Decided to go back to stock. Did a nandroid restore and when it was finished I had no data or bars period. Restarted the phone to no avail. Called Verizon. They assumed my simm card was fried. Then I went and got a new simm card. They tried to activate it to no avail. After changing my PRL from 00000 to 15154 they were able to get 4g on my phone. It's a little slow but it works. Still no calls and text.
My phone number is 0000004548. Any ideas on fixing this?

This is my next option. Will it help? Come on xda, I have faith you can save me! Thanks all!
Still no luck
I completed the guide in the first post. No dice. I got everything sorted out, My phone number is now correct and all but... I cannot get signal still and I cannot boot into recovery. Weird. Any advice would be great! I'm sure others are in my spot.
Is your imei intact? I also had this problem prior to flashing miui. What I did was go back to completely stock, there is a guide somewhere here, make sure you backup all your data. Once you've boot up to stock, you have to dial the re provision code which is *2767*3855# , it will wipe all your data I believe, then reboot it should work then. After that just reroot unlock flash roms. I hope it works for you. If you've lost your imei you have to do something else which a guide is written on here, but I'm pretty sure you haven't lost your imei.

Yes, first thing to do is to check if your IMEI is intact. Also check your ERI (it should be set to 5).
Just a heads up, the re-provision code @Watoy mentioned only works on early build stock ICS. You can use the code in Root66, so my advice is to Odin back to Root66, which is available for download from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
If your IMEI and/or ERI is not intact, the following tool and guide will bring you back to life. You will also need to be on stock ICS for this, and I again recommend Root66 because many users need to perform the re-provision code after performing all of the steps in this guide to complete the process:

I'm attempting everything you two mentioned right now. I'll let you know how it turned out. I have already done each of these things but this time I'll follow the order (if that makes sense...)

ERI - 5

IMEISV - 00
Definitely boot loops for days after flashing stock.vzw_root66.tar Any other ideas?
Alright. Flashed stock.vzw_root66.tar and it bootlooped. I pulled the battery after ten minutes and went into recovery and f/d reset. Network unknown. Signal strength and network type is the same. now service state says in service. Mobile network state still disconnected. PRL changed to 15173. phone number is correct. MIN is 3194421067. ERI is still 5. MEID now reads DEC: 256691456608999046 HEX: 0x99000206895086. IP address is now unavailable.
Can you read all that?

A quick look at the thread you linked to, it looks like you need to be back on an ICS ROM (at least for TW) to use the factory reset/reprovision(?) code, after repairing the IMEI.

You didn't miss anything, you just need to do that re-provision code. Flash back to this, do the re-provision, and you will be back to normal. No other way about it unfortunately.

This just saved me! Thanks a ton, sorry about your phone though. Just fixing the IMEI and ERI didn't work for me, I had to reset with the code
Same Issues
I suffered from no sms and no calls, reflashed root_66 tar from odin, then reprovisioned with *2767*3855# and i got sms and calls back but was stuck on roaming with it always trying to get me to install dual clocks, i figured it was a sim card issue as my imei was proper and everything was as stock, i took it to local Verizon, they installed new SIM for free, but it did not fix the issue. With a few kind words and pointing out the extras i spent on accesories, i ended up getting into the Note II. Keep In Mind i was still in my 30 day worry free, but for the SIM card it didnt matter, he did not look up that info till he told me he was going to replace my device if the SIM didnt take. I STRONGLY advise to approach them with kindness, i also informed them it happened when i kept toggling connection when transfering media thru the usb cable, i figured the heat and constant connect/disconnect fried the sim, they never asked if i tried to download any off market apps or anything along the MOD lines. Hope this helps anybody that may need it.. i did follow step 5 of the guide everyone references about rooting jellybean(root,custom recovery,stock), sorry new to forums and havnt figured out the linking yet, but once on the stock file with this name,( COMBINATION_I535VRBLK3_I535VZWBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar)everything read stock except my binary count, but i heard this is only an issue if sending to samsung as verizon reps are unaware of binary counts and odin and stuff related
About 3 days ago my phone started dropping in connection massively as it goes from LTE to 3G to 1x. It has only gotten worse and no matter what I've tried I haven't found a fix. This started randomly when using a custom rom (resurrection remix) and it hasn't returned to normal since. Reverting back to stock hasn't fixed it either. Its gotten so bad to the point that every 30 minutes or so I lose service and have to wait around 5 to 10 minutes to get it back. Before I had even unlocked my bootloader this had never happened and I've owned this phone for almost a year. I haven't moved either and I doubt its the sim card.
My stock rom that I use is RETUS and is most recent
Model Number - XT1955-5
most fixes that I've seen on the forums haven't helped and the only other person I've seen with the same issue I have had to replace their phone.
EDIT: I've updated to a newer version stock rom that was uploaded 3 days ago, and still no fix. My IMEI isn't 0, and resetting any settings doesn't help. If I factory reset from the settings menu my phone won't startup so I reset through fastboot. I really doubt its on Verizon's end as my sister's phone, which is the same one I have, works perfectly fine. My only suspicion is that somehow custom roms broke it, but that doesn't make since to me at least.
EDIT 2: well after everything I've tried nothing has worked and i'm just going to deal with it. I could never truly find the reason as to why it isn't working, but I'm going to just blame hardware. I'm sad I couldn't fix this phone but it is what it is. At this point I've moved back to the custom rom I was using prior and happy.

well after about 30 minutes of waiting to see what would happen here are the results.
The phone mainly stayed on 3G and could never find LTE even when I forced it.
It would sometimes drop to 1x but other than that nothing has changed. For now I'm going back to the modem that came with this stock, as that one gave me LTE.
EDIT: after restarting my data and phone, LTE showed up! Going to be trying to use it. I'll know if it continues the way its been acting.

Well it was short lived about an hour after I edited that post sure enough it hit the bucket dropped to 3G lost service and after reboot lte wasn't working. Typing this with WiFi as it's the only consistent thing. Back to square one now.

after this still nothing has changed, I will note that restarting and powering off happens a lot quicker without the sim card, but with it it takes around 7 seconds compared to a normal 1 to 2. As of now its still the same issue of inconsistency.

In Georgia, but my area has very good coverage, What I've done now is decided to relock the bootloader. It sounds dumb but all of this has started after I unlocked it. My final thoughts on it is Verizon might just be throttling me hardcore and I've gone crazy. If I can't fix it then I'm going to just deal with it until I get a new one.

nothings worked, reason why i didnt respond for a while is that I tried some fixes without saying and still nothing. Decided to give up and deal with this trashy data.

It might be it but I haven't had the chance to test it. As of know i'm back on resurrection remix as I decided I couldn't fix it, but the only notable thing I've noticed is that whenever things get horrible with the connection it drops from "Verizon" to "31000" not sure if that is even relevant.
