This is not my forum, I don't have one yet, I have the bell, samsung galaxy s2 hd lte. It's a brand new device 9 days old, it started yesterday saying "no sim card inserted " I had you pull the battery and sim card then reboot, it was fine again for 12 hours now it's happened twice?? Anyone else experienced this??
Our phones are similar, bell said get a new sim, which I will tomorrow, however after a Google search this seems to be a popular error with the s2.
Thanks

Are you on the stock ROM? Are you rooted? Did you flash anything to the phone or change the ROM, Kernel, or modem? If you haven't done any of this, I would try the new SIM card. If that doesn't work, exchange the phone. If you have done something, try going back to stock and see if it resolves the issue. Alot of times it comes down to the modem / radio being mismatched to a ROM or Kernel.
im having the same problem, the way to fix it is odin flash the firmware from sammobile, buttt i cant connect my phone via usb anymore thus im stuck with this problem ;(
2 Possible Solutions(Easy Fix)
1, wait out the data outage in your area. We are on ATT and having the same exact issue and when I called 611(Customer Service) the automated answering system told me that they are currently experiencing data outages in my area. could be due to a tower/service upgrade being that 4G is coming out in more areas now.
2, call 611 and set up your phone model with the customer service rep at the technical support extension.
I would put a 3rd option... but I haven't tried flashing a new rom yet, I just got the Skyrocket as a free refurb from Insurance and I am currently on an unrooted stock GB ROM.
yes flashing to original rogers tar using odin did fix it.. but if i try other roms its broken again, so for now it looks like ill have to stay with the original firmware
If you flash the ucle2 modem in SeanZscreams post it will most likely fix the issue on each Rom you flash as long as you flash the modem after.

To check to see if its your SIM card, use a USB Adapter or microSD -> SD adapter. Back up all your files then reformat it using: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ and then put back all your stuff and try again.
try this or other plp that have this problem try this pliz an coment

The error message that said I needed to insert a valid sim card happened again today while traveling home.
The good news is I think I figured it out!
The Galaxy S4 requires a "nfc" enabled sim card!
You can't tell by looking at the tiny sim but the larger card the sim comes in has a notation of "nfc" if it's the right card.
I hung out in the Verizon store after inserting it and the drove home "an hour drive" and absolutely no errors!
And I maintained a 4g signal throughout my whole trip which was through some back country where signal is usually marginal.
This is a pretty serious problem for Verizon.
Why?
1. Because if I would have ran around in safe mode it still would have errored.
2. If I would have reformatted to factory settings... The same... All for nothing and days of configuration lost.
3. If I got another new phone, again the same.... All because I would be using my same sim card.!
I'm sure many replace the whole phone "and" sim together and when it works it's assumed the problem was the phone or software.
What a terrible headache for the customer, tech support, and verizon customer service just because people don't know the proper sim card needed for the S4!

You're in the wrong forum. Wrong phone and wrong provider.

I have the 727 galaxy ii and started having the same no sim inserted message. Running stock, never rooted or anything. Turns out my solution was to reflow the solder around the sim card and that got it going again.
My friend had her sprint SGN flashed from Sprint to Verizon(which I have no knowledge on how to do). She doesn't like the software the guy put on there. (4.1.1) I know how to flash software like I have done on many devices before but never switched cell providers. My question is can I change her software without disabling her from using Verizon?

If either of those companies used SIM cards I would say yes, but as I don't believe they do, I would be careful..?? I don't know at what level the phone remembers it's carrier vs it's operating system.. Even with a nandroid backup I wouldn't risk it unless you know the cell provider can flash it back to their carrier..
Is there any way to make my nexus 5 appear to be my lg g2 to the carrier sprint? I want to be able to swap the sim when i need to but my g2 is the main on the account and i don't want to have to reactivate each device, i just wamt to swap the sim for a little bit

You can't just switch back and forth at will? In Canada here....can pop my sim into any unlocked phone anytime.

I'm pretty sure you can just switch back and forth by switching the SIM. I'm on AT&T and I can do that, and I don't see why you wouldn't be able to on Sprint.
It doesnt seem to work with sprint
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
it wont work with sprint because its cdma and also i dont believe you can do that, with your imei i think they have on record that its a nexus 5, well im almost sure with the imei they can identify your phone, that is unless you somehow changed you imei but i think any modification of imei is not allowed on xda not sure either way i dont know anything about it
Hey Guys,
Iv been undergoing a very strange problem, I flashed manually the 4.4.3 update to my Nexus 5, the phone worked fine for about 2 days after the flash and then random-ally one morning decided to display "Emergency Calls Only', I can scan for mobile networks just fine but it will fail to register on any network, here is some debugging iv been doing:
Select automatic registration, reboot
Switch off, remove sim, insert, boot
Flashed all modems available
Tried registering on different nework modes (3G, LTE, 2G)
Factory restore to 4.4.2
Corrupted EFS rulled out.
The same sim works just fine in other devices and I have ensured that the sim card pins are clean and fine. I cannot find a article related to this issue and what I have been reading is that it could be related to a corrupted EFS, what i dont understand is that does the EFS corrupt the IMEI number or is their anyway to confirm it is a corrupted IMEI number ? If so is their anyway to recover the EFS and just inject my IMEI number into the file and flash back ? Would the Nexus 5 PIT file help ? Or in the end would a google RMA device be a better choice ?
The RMA is difficult for me due to the fact that im in a unsopported county so would have to post it back, but i obviously need a phone so need to sort this out.
If you have corrupted efs your imei will be 0.
You can probably try for a rma, or take apart the phone to sell it for parts (everything except the motherboard). And no, you can't put the imei back yourself.

Settings > About phone > Status
Does it show your IMEI?
If it shows a zero or multiple zeroes it might be a corrupt IMEI.

Okey then its not, IMEI is still valid, Phones IMEI is still the same, I have tested the IMEI aswell with my service provider and a paid for service on the net that indicates all is in order still.
Sounds like an issue with the SIM card holder and/or connection of it to your motherboard. I know rma is difficult for you but that's probably your best option.

It would make some sense somewhat as recently after i updated i had dropped the phone from a small height, and that option has been playing on my mind ever since. What i cannot get is that the device still picks up a sim card when its inserted into the phone or will this still happen regardless? Iv practically ruled out everything, im getting a replacement phone tomorrow and Ill them log a call to google to get things moving with a RMA.
Another thread has suggested re-flashing the cache.img from the stock file, will this wipe everything or do you think it would be worth a try ?

It's worth a try to flash the cache. It will not wipe your device or anything.

Are you a disappointed person or a spammer?
Read the forum rules...
So, I dropped my nexus 5 a few days ago. It had a cover but I think the damage is done.
I put in my T-Mobile sim card and it says no service. I took the phone to India last week. I put a local Vodafone sim card all works normal.
I come back to USA and put my T-Mobile sin card, no signal. I swapped with a new sim card, no go. T-Mobile support is not able to figure out what's going on.
I bought this phone when it was released back in Nov 2013. So it's out of warranty.
Did the drop damage a single radio of T-Mobile? Att sim card, sometimes it connects sometimes doesn't (not checked recently) .
Anything I can do get this fixed? Anyway I can test if a radio is active or hardware malfunction?
I have received ota update. Factory reset the phone multiple times. Still no go.
Thanks in advance.

You can try by flashing different radios

Edit: never mind, I reread OP, you already tried my idea.
Is it possible that something is loose inside?
