So my Vodafone SIM gets detected when inserted but doesnt connect to network.
On searching networks it doesn't show up either.
Weird facts:
My SIM works fine on my Nexus 4 and other Nexus 5 (only 1 I've tested on)
Other SIMs work fine on my Nexus 5.
Tried various ROMs and radios, but same result.
Another weird fact:
Once on roaming I had connected the SIM to my N5 and the moment I left my state it got connected to network and as entered back it stopped again.
SIM has been replaced, Vodafone blames the phone and I don't know what else to try out.
Any thoughts?

In settings can you see your IMEI number ? if you don't (like mine showing 0) you never get any signal , you've got to send it back, it's bricked then...

IMEI is good, its works fine on other SIMs and mine works fine on other phones too as mentioned in OP.
What's your current network mode in *#*#4636#*#*? Try any of the modes but CDMA (WCDMA is fine).

My IMEI still shows up and I can connect to WIFI and bluetooth. The only problem is I can't get a signal, not 2G or 3G (even LTE)
This started happening out of nowhere, I tried taking out the sim, factory resetting, wiping caches, changing the APNs, restarting the phone, and I even put the sim in a new phone (It got signal).
If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears! What's the point of this amazing phone if I can't call people with it?
How long did you have the phone before this happened? Did you dial *#*#4636#*#* to check the phone info and change the network type?
I had a similar issue, but I think mine was a lot worse due to a dirty flash. I ended up having to do a fastboot recovery to restore it to factory.

What service are you with? I had this same exact issue a week ago with an LG G2. My Sim card would work in my Nexus 5 but wouldn't work in the G2.
After numerous factory resets I eventually called Metro PCS (my carrier) and I was told that whenever I put my Sim Card into a new phone I must always contact them and give them the new IMEI # so that the phone can work.
The Metro PCS rep claimed that they have a feature that disables the Sim from working in an unauthorized phone. I guess its to help with theft.

Hi, were you able to fix your issue? I am having the same exact issue and have done all troubleshooting I can do on my own but still nothing works.
If you have a method of fixing this please share.
Thanks,

I know this is really OLD!!!!
but i just had the same issue today
with a NEXUS 5 running stock marshmallo 6.0.1 with the latest patches
, and yes... is not the phone is the carrier
MetroPCS do IMEI lookup
i had another phone before the NEXUS 5
so it is no just matter of swapping the SIM card from one phone to the other
you need to call CS and you told them that your phone is not registering on the network
and that you just swapped phones
So they ask you for the IMEI of the "new" phone
and your SIM card #
you reboot your cell
and VOILA!
now the phone registers in the network
Yes, Metro do IMEI authentication
Dear experts,
I have got a nexus 5 of a friend, which has network issue. I have flashed all factory images and almost all modems, but it still gives me emergency calls only and my imei is ok. Network state shows not connected. I am a Note 2 user and had Same issue in my Note 2 too. But it was solved by patching modem with zulumans modem patcher. I tried patching modems but there is no modem.bin in the modem folder. I tried to change the radio band using *#*#4636#*#* but it only shows US band.
Please help me. Thanks.
I am having same problem. My nexus 5 was working fine till 3 days ago when all of a sudden there was no signal. It shows my network name but says "no service". I thought it could be sim related issue and got it replaced. Still it shows the same.
I havent tried flashing modems/radio.
One funny thing is, i tried putting another sim of a different provider. It showed signal for a minute or so and then dropped (shows no service).
When I scan for network it is able to see all the available network but then it doesnt register on a network.
I'm from India and I have BSNL connection.
Tried flashing kitkat and 5.0 fatory images...nothing happened,
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP
!
Bump
One other strange thing is when i tried a sim of another network it got registered!!! but then i was not able to make calls. I tried calling the number from another phone and it said the phone was switched off. I don't understand.
1) Is it a prob with antenna? 2) or the motherboard 3) or sim (which is unlikely as it is working just fine on my new oneplus one). Please someone help...
Does it never occur to anyone to backup efs and store on a card or LT
emergency calls only (Motherboard Problem)
Emergency Calls Only, This is due to substandard nexus hardware quality, as around the world all nexus 5 phone owner face the same problem, google is silent on their fault, i will never buy nexus phone in future, or faulty upgrade destroys our phone hardware,
My nexus in block by t mobile well my iemi is I think I want to unblock it just shows no signal
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Is the imei on the blacklist?
So just randomly yesterday the mobile data on my Honor 6x just cut out. I am just getting the service signal bars, no 3G, 4G icon. I've tried resetting APN and formatting the phone back to original spec, but I still have the same problem. I also ejected the SIM and reset it just for a shot, but nothing.
I am using a T-Mobile MVNO called TAG Mobile if it makes a difference. I can make calls and text fine, and wifi works as well. Just the mobile data acts like I have it turned off. I've checked to make sure all toggles are switched on for 4G but to no avail.
Oh and I am running Nougat 7.0 emui 5. I've been using it for a couple months with no issues till now.
Can you try another SIM card?! Just to know if the issue is from the phone
I don't have one available right now, but I will try to get a replacement SIM sent out to me. I don't really have anybody near that would let me borrow their SIM either.
Ok, once you do it, let me know the results
Weird, the network came back up randomly. Didn't even need to try a different SIM card. Thanks

That's wonderful, enjoy
Can't find a fix to this anywhere
I can't make any calls or connect to 4G. So far I've tried resetting network settings, triple checking my APN settings, I've even got a new sim card but still nothing.
When I make a call it says 'not registered on network'
It won't even let me automatically connect in network operators.
I've even done a full factory reset but that didn't work either
Last week the phone worked fine but now the only thing that works on it is WiFi
Anyone know how to fix?
Where is the phone from?
Not sure too be honest. I bought it on eBay about 6 months ago. It's worked perfectly fine up until now.
Don't understand how it just stopped working. I've even updated it to the latest official firmware.
go to settings --> apps---> show the system apps and go to phone app and clear data of it
go to sim toolkit then and clear the data too if there are more then 1 then do it for all and try to reboot
if that doesnt work
type *#06# and check if u see ur imei
if u dont see it ur ****d up ur efs
Thanks for your reply
It didn't work though. I cleared the data on 3 of the phone apps data & 2 of the sim toolkit.
My imei does show when doing *#06#
When I restart the phone I just get a ? symbol top right. It eventually disappears and I have 2 bars signal but I still can't make any calls, texts or have 4G though
Just to confirm it IS my phone causing the problem as my sim card works fine in my wife's s8 plus. It's not the sim tray either causing the problem as I've tried hers with the same result
Anyone?
I'm desperate for a fix
Many many thanks for all your amazing help ?????????????????

Check if your IMEI is not blacklisted.
Found out it is blacklisted!
Anyone recommend going here

On what network was this phone previously used. The best thing to do is to contact the carrier and try to fix it with them
My understanding is IMEI blacklisted is usually when phone has been reported stolen, it's intended to render the phone unusable on any phone network.
Same
I have the same problem, is there anybody here can help me? Wipe data: done, reintall stock firmware: done, device info app installed and shows sim infomation with signal strength-141 Type lte, but, cell identity 0, lac 0, psc 0.
Wifi It's all right.
Hey Everyone. So I just received my unlocked 7 Pro from OnePlus' website, and trying to use it on T-Mobile. Took my SIM card out of my Pixel 2 XL and popped it in. Noticed when I first powered on at the beginning of setup, there is no cellular signal. Went through setup and still no signal. Even updated to 9.5.13.GM21AA and STILL no signal. It's weird because it detects the SIM card in slot 1, and even shows my phone number on the SIM, but shows Network as "Unknown" and "Disconnected, Radio Off, etc." Same exact thing on SIM slot 2. The correct APN is selected and everything. SIM still works perfectly fine in my 2 XL. Even tried a friend's T-Mobile SIM card, and the same thing. It detects the number, but no signal. Did I get a lemon? Don't think it's the SIM since I tried two different ones, and my current one still works in my 2 XL.
TL;DR
Cellular network not working even though it detects the SIM card. Does this sound like a hardware issue? Already got a RMA number to send it back, but if it's a simple fix, I'd rather do that instead of having to ship it out and wait a week to get a replacement.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
have you registered to network or dialed *#*#4636#*#* are you rooted or no different options to take the project fi - t apn makes my whole network setting disappear lol i fixed it google dont play nice
i have the same issue now with my 7Pro, did you manage to get it fixed?
