Apparently there is an update AT&T is forcing that is causing massive amounts of phones to crash with a "No Sim Card Found, Restarting..." error message. Then you get "Emergency Calls Only".
I was told this by the in store warranty department at AT&T today when there were several people in front and behind me with the exact same issues. I reflashed, rebooted, got a new SIM card...nothing! Still here now with a phone that wont make or receive calls waiting for a new one.
The only fix AT&T is aware of? Get a replacement!
What update? Post a screen shot of your "About device".
Good luck with the replacement device.

That is for the international S4 9505. iB4 has built a ROM on that update for the i337/m.

My S4 automatically updated itself and removed my root access. I'm on NC1 and so far, its not that bad. Battery life did improve, but I don't like how the battery bar is white instead of green. At one time, my phone did the Emergency Call Only. But after I reset the phone, everything went back to normal.
I miss having a rooted phone lol.
My phone does the "no sim card found, restart" a few times a week...but its usually gone after the restart, occasionally ot takes a couple restarts...I am currently on nc1, however I have been experiencing this issue before I was even on kitkat

Will I be able to Re-Root?
I've delayed the update. If I am currently rooted, will I be able to re-root after this update?
Currently, I have:
Samsung S4 SGH-I337 (AT&T)
Android Version: 4.3

You'd have to downgrade. It's easier to flash the 4.4 keeproot OTAs, the nb1 and then nc1, or even just a 4.4.2 custom ROM.

I could only delay the so many time that it finally upgraded this afternoon. I lost my root.
The only reason that I root is simply to be able to tether. I'm not interested in custom ROMs, etc. So, in my situation, is there a more direct (simpler) method to get me back to tethering on 4.4.2?
Thanks in advance!

You still need to do the downgrade, but you can flash a the stock ROM with root and tether once you do. No way around the downgrade to root yet.

Thanks. Can you point me to where I would find some detailed instructions?
I finally traded in my unlimited data plan for the 10gb family plan because it's cheaper and they allow tethering with it.

Im aware its a hardware issue, I was just stating my experience as the op claimed it was a new update that caused it, although that is perfectly understandable as he states the service rep stated this was the issue...but how often do those service reps reall know what they are talking about lol.
As far as taking it to a store...I have spilled water on the table my phone was on...and now my water indicators are pink, so I havent taken it in cause I figured they would deny me due to water damage even tho the problem existed long before that happened

i had this update 2 days ago for me~ it forced updated/ restarted my phone and TRIED to update but FAILED
i 100% thought my phone was gona brick or boot loop and what not but it restarted fine !
I am getting the update as well now. I have delayed it but I need root and have unlocked the phone. 4.3 mk2. But I use mdl modem to access service mode.
Can I just freeze the files to prevent the update from happening?

Hey guys, so i got my S3 today and wanted to know if my boot loader was unlocked or not. Please let me know if an app that does that or not. Also, if there was a way of telling the phone is unlocked or not . Cheers, thanks.

Which android version is installed? VRUCML1 and VRUCNC1 4.3 are bootloader locked and so is VRUDNE1 4.4.2. No XDA exploit exists to unlock the bootloader on these firmware. Only way is to pay a $50 fee to MobileTechVideos to downgrade the firmware then unlock the bootloader.

If you power off the device, then power it back on, you should see the words "Samsung" first. If they stay on the screen for more than 2 seconds, then it's locked down. If it flashes by almost instantly, then you're unlocked.

I'd suggest starting it up and activating airplane mode to disable all data connections, that will disable the ability to run an update. Then with a root file browser I'd change the name or freeze two apps. Fwupgrade.apk and SDM.apk. You must be rooted to do this
That should alleviate your problem. At one point I removed both apps with no problem. They are both located in system/app

That's leaked 4.1.1 firmware cuz there isn't an official LI5 update. You might have to flash an official release like VRBMF1 4.1.2 using Odin to get rid of that updating bug.
I can't recall what would cause your issue or a simpler way to resolve it.

No, you didn't answer his question. He asked if you unlocked your bootloader, and you answered by saying this is the first time you have done a hard reset on your phone. That answer has nothing to do with the question of whether or not your bootloader is unlocked. @ShapesBlue, what he is describing sounds like when you wipe your phone and on startup you get the notification Android is updating your apps. That's all the help I'm going to provide since the guy is being a bit of a jerk.

know I am asking for many opinions, but I love feedback, so cab you guys give me your thoughts?

As far as a radio you can update to the latest modem if you'd like which is NE1 without having any issues. I've ran tons of roms on my old S3 but the best by far was slimkat. It's truly up to you what you want but your best bet is to read others opinions
