All of a sunnden, I.got this error on my samsung s advance "No SIM".
Since then it has not been reading any SIM card (Except BSNL SIM card)
What I have done to fix this :
1) replaced the SIM drive, but no luck.
2) flashed stock rom, with re-partition, again no luck.
3) backed up mmcblk0p2(modemfs), mmcblk0p7(efs) and mmcblk0p6(cspsa)
and reflashed, but again no luck.
Any help??
Hi there,
It sounds like a hardware problem to me!
I see you've posted the question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/help/help-sim-card-recognized-flashing-rom-t2808686
Which is the right place to be looking, I'd suggest maybe making a new question thread in the Q&A section to get more visibilty to help:

Dear fellows,
I got a Alcatel One Touch Evolve 5020T (T-mobile) from US as a gift.
When I put my India's SIM card into it, it says network locked.
On searching XDA (and other) forums, I learnt that the SIM slot is locked. In MTK Engineering mode, the option of SIM ME lock (unlock) is grayed out.
I tried to use SP Flash tools using the scatter file but I get an error - Secure Baseband. Need auth file. I dont know where to get this auth file from.
I tried using Alcatel One Touch Upgrade S 2.8.0 software as well. I used the model number - 5020. But the moment I connect my switched-off phone, it says - "Read terminal information failed, Unplug device, remove battery and try again..." [Screenshot attached]
Questions:
1. Is there anyway to reset the firmware...so that the SIM ME Lock menu can re-appear?
2. I have the NCK code with me (from a trustable source), is there anyway to directly push it to the phone and unlock it?
3. Are there any special tools available to directly unlock this phone?
I am not an expert at this, but have working knowledge of linux/android.

Thank you Perseus71 for your reply. I have posted the same in Android Q&A.
Hello!
I recently tried to install a custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i. Afterwards, it became stuck in a boot loop.
I managed to find what I believed was the stock firmware for my phone and used Odin to flash it back on. Everything seemed to go just fine and I even managed to install the custom rom afterwards without issue.
My problem is, however, that although the phone mostly works as intended, the phone element does not. I have a message saying 'Emergency Calls Only' and I'm unable to make any calls. This is the case straight after flashing with Odin, and also after installing a custom rom.
The IMEI number on the device matches the IMEI number found in the software.
Where can I go from here?
The phone was originally purchased in the United Kingdom from O2, if that helps, though the software says that no network lock is active.
Hi there,
You have a dedicated forum for this device and for more relevant you must start asking there:
> Legacy & Low Activity Devices > Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830, S5830i, Ace II > Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Or ask directly in this thread: [FAQ][HELP THREAD]Ask any questions here about s5830i/c/m/9i
Have a nice day
After trying to restore to a new custom ROM (VIBEROM 1417) the device cant seem to connect to the network (not internet, but mobile network). I could re-enter the IMEI code with MTK tools but the message changed from "worng imei" to "no service" and i still cant make/receive phone calls (there´s an "x" on the SIM card symbol). Tried restoring the stock ROM but the problem remains the same. Tried changing the SIM card and makes no difference.
Any idea please? I want to rule out all the posibilities before thinking it might be a hardware issue.
Hi,
You would likely need to try flashing your stock firmware again to possibly fix the issue. You may need to contact the manufacturer about firmware and flashing instructions, as I can find nothing relevant on XDA.
You can ask for other ideas here,

Hello,
I have problem with no sim card problem with Galaxy note SGH-I717D telus, since it was having bootloop problem, I returned to stock ICS 4.0.4, build no- IMM76D.TLLF4 after flashing a couple of custom rom which fixed the bootlooping problem. But gave me a device which is having NO IMEI/baseband/no sim card. I tried flashing a couple of modems as well but did not helped me out of this situation. I can see IMEI written on the device but how can i edit or enter it to the rom ? efs folder is empty as i can see.
please help me to sort it out
Thanks
Rajesh
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Often times flashing the stock firmware with odin will get IMEI back. Here's a good place to start, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483113 Also here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-att
Good luck!
Thread closed.
I've dug through threads for hours already, can't seem to find this specific issue, apologies if it's out there somewhere.
The story:
Vacationing in Canada, phone is on sprint's network in the USA.
Enabled international account settings with sprint before leaving the USA.
Turned on international call and data upon arrival in canada.
Worked fine for a few hours.
Then started rebooting.
I did see an error for firmware unable to download.
Now it is in a boot loop.
I believe it attempted to update another networks version of the firmware and failed, corrupted, and has now left me in this position.
Sprint will not support this, as their towers can not connect to the device (no sprint in canada)
Samsung support will not help in canada because it's a USA bought phone.
I know all i really need to do is flash it with the latest firmware, that's what a tech would do right now.
Attempts to use Kies has failed, the macbook i have available reboots when it's run.
Attempts to use Odin have failed - an auth failure.
I would like to flash it from the SD card - is this possible? (download firmware, transfer to SD, mount the SD,
then using the boot menu, and "install update from SD" - seems like the solution ya?
and if so.. anyone have a good link for SM-g900p marshmallow that isn't a paid user account required mirror? I just paid 5.99 for a mirror that is SLOW AS SNOT, 49kb/s, and pulling down a 1.5gb file.. literally days to download this firmware. There has to be a better host out there.
PLEASE HELP I"M DESPERATE AND WITHOUT A LIFELINE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. Thank youuu.
