Rooted Samsung I9000 sim card not detected

Hi All,
I've just got an Samsung Galaxy S that is coded to a provider network.
So far so good ...
After I've installed an application and root the phone and then unroot it, my pone doesn't recognize my sim card ...
If I navigate to the Mobile Network from Settings then I get No SIM card inserted.
Facts to take into consideration:
- I have restarted the phone;
- I have applied a factory reset and lost all my data except music and files I've got on it;
- I have shacked the SIM card a little bit;
- I didn't applied a hard reset to it;
- I did tried to put a different provider SIM card and the message I get is to insert PIN then is asking for the UNLOCK NETWORK PIN;
- I am able to log in the phone but with no service
Please note that when starting / restarting the phone I get no Insert PIN popup
Anyone has an ideea why ?

I've got the same problem saptaru.
No sim card is detected in my Galaxy S.
If you happen to solve it, please, do not forget to post a comment.
After dialing #*1234# I can read:
PDA:
PHONE: Unknown
CSC:
I guess the IMEI cannot be recognized by the phone.
At least, I wrote it before rooting and flashing.
Any help will be highly apreciatted!

Hello,
After several restarts, hard reseting the phone and enable-disable networking I still get the sim card removed from time to time ... I don't really know how to debug this... if there is anyone on this forum with the right experience in order to debug the system please write me and maybe we can find a solution.
I must mention that I have unlocked my phone and also rooted it.
Thanks allot !

I have same problem now, can anyone help.

well my sim card has been identified but i can't seem to register on the network.....thats as far as i got as a noob with my first android (xperia x8)......can someone help me from here on......

i get nothing from sims from various networks, it doesn't even register as having a sim in it...
unlocked and darkys rom... driving me crazy, it basically a large mp3 player at the moment...

Maybe have installed the wrong ROM. i9000 has many bases and radios. I had this problem installing 900mhz ROM on a 850mhz sim.
Good luck

Hmm, ok this might be the issue, flashing the htc desire is so much simpler!!
Will try to find correct radios and stuff again...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Even I am having the EXACT same issues right now. I also did the factory reset but that doesn't help!

Have the same problem here. Have you managed to find a solution?

Hi everyone, I don't know if anyone is still interested but I've found that putting the phone into flight mode and then rebooting seems to work, because when I then turn flight mode off it asks me for my pin code and service is restored. As long as the IMEI folder is still in the efs folder then things should be fine.
Hope this helps for anyone who is here or just stumbles across this.

I've had the same problem > Sim Card not found.
I went to the Vodafone repair center today they said the phone had water damage.
Its never been near any water ever-they said that it could have happened months ago - "perhaps you hand wet hands once?". Its still in warranty but the apparent water damage means the warranty its now invalid. So now I'm stuck with an expensive video/audio player with WiFi access. Any help or progress with this issue would be great. Thanks

I fixed the issue bu flashing a working Modem from another rom. Just extract the modem.bin and flash it with odin

Phone not allowed MM#6 @ Galaxy S

Hello guys!
Recently i unlock my Galaxy S using the Galaxy_S Unlock app from the market (i've read a thread about it here).
And i've been using my phone with Personal Argentina (a carrier from Argentina) for a few days now, but today i start getting the Phone not allowed MM#6 error.
I bought the phone in Canada, and it was locked for Rogers.
I have a few questions :
is this IMEI related?, i think that the unlock method does something to the IMEI, and i tried to restore the backup that i've created with the app, but it says that there's nothing to restore..
There is any known solutions?, i've been searching the forums but no one seems to know how to fix this issue.
I've also bought the DaGentooBoy App for unlocking the Phone (it was about 5 dollars), but it doesn't fix my problem.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT :
I just read this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863209
where should i post this question?

Omg this forum moves so fast, i'm at 3rd page already.
I'll up this thread one more time to see if anyone can help me.

I've done some attemps using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162
Before doing that i flash back to 2.1 stock using Odin, and after those steps i got this generic IMEI :
004999010640000
That;s not my Phone's IMEI, and it's blocked by the Carriers in Argentina, so i can't use my phone.
Any ideas?, maybe some keyword that i can search on Google?
Thanks!

I'm in Bolivia. I have a samsung galaxy s, I unlocked with SUperOneClick (for rooting) and sgs tool to unlock it. Then after using a local carrier for about two weeks my phone got the mm#6 error. I was looking for solutions, and then my brother realized that I have to register the phone with the line (IMEI with line). Here in Bolivia exists a law that block phones if they are not registered at someones name and Id. So with nothing to lose, I called assitance of the carrier and register the IMEI I found in the Android menu (About phone>status>IMEI) with the GSM chip/line I have. Wait for 20 minutes and voilá! phone got signal and it's working now. I hope still working from now and on. SO IF YOU HAVE THIS TROUBLE CALL YOUR CARRIER AND REGISTER YOUR PHONE'S IMEI WITH THE LINE YOU ARE USING, IT'S SIMPLE. YOU CAN TRY THAT BEFORE GETTING INTO SOFTWARE STUFF.
HOPE THIS HELP SOMEBODY.
GOOD LUCK!

[Completed] [Q] Unable to read NV data on Galaxy S2 after rooting

Hello All,
I am new to rooting phones and recently tried something on a galaxy S2. I had a korean version of S2 model SHW-250s which was locked. I lost my new phone so tried unlocking this myself...looked at some youtube videos some blogs and finally decided to use this method posted by someone:
1)Flash these two files using ODIN to convert the korean model into international version :
GTI9100_ext4.pit
9100XWLPW_I9100ODDLPC_I9100DDLPB_HOME.tar.md5 (stock ICS firmware for my country).
This successfully converted my phone to S2i9100.
2)Then to unlock I used a siyah kernel as posted by a developer :: Siyah-v3.2b8
This successfully installed SU and i checked using RootChecker apps that there is root access.
3)Then to unlock my phone i used GalaxSimUnlock app (did rooting as this app required root access)
This successfully unlocked my phone. I was able to call receive messages with new carrier.
I installed some more general apps used it for 5 days.
Sudddenly i started facing network issues. I was not able to make or receive calls. Strangely, I was getting data connection from network but not able to make or receive calls. I could not register on any network.
I tried running GalxSimUnlock app again and it said Unable to read NV data.Since I was naive i tried reinstalling the stock ROM and SIYAH kernel to see if it helps. It didnt.
When i researched further i came to know there's probably something wrong in the NV_data.bin file in EFS . But i hadnt taken backup of EFS previously. Now can anythng be done to restore the EFS and make the phone work? Please help me....
When i run GalaxSimUnlock app it shows everything in green except IMEI number which it blinks in red. But I am able to see a IMEI number and it doesnt look like something default. I am getting everything else MAC id, baseband version etc.
Thanks everybody...please forgive my language if not upto the mark as i am pretty naive about this stuff.

Please Review this thread [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps.
If you have specific question on the process, you can post this thread as well.
If that does not work and you need further help, please post in Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Buddy....Thanks for replying....i just saw you have written you flashed the original ROM on your device again...but as I wrote I have flashed another ROM and didnt take back up of original one and cannot find the SKT korea S2 ROm for this one...Is it ok if i employ the procedure told by you without flashing original ROM...what is CSC? Is there anything else you wanna tell me before i start the process? please forgive for my ignorance Im quite new to all this...

You will have to ask on the thread I linked regarding the Rom. You will have the right experts for your device there.
CSC is sales code., you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234# . First two digits represents country and last three represents release time.

ok thanks...i will post the question there

Per Suggestion from my Collegue @It_ler,
The kernel you have is older. Latest SiyahKernel for the stock JB ROM he has on his device is SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1.
If you have questions about the kernel, then use the [KERNEL][REF][Q&A] Siyah 5.0+[ICS/CM10] 6.0b5+[JB/CM10.1] +DISCUSSION+. NON-DEV!!! (SiyahKernel discussion) thread.

[Completed] Network region locked for only a month..

Hi guys,
Im andrew fro the philippines. So i got this samsung grand prime sm g531f from saudi arabia and it was region locked and i cant fix it on my own. And so i had it rooted and the region lock removed. That was more than a month ago. I actually dont have any idea how the repairman fix my phone. I just know that he installed an app called SuperSU.
The problem came yesterday when i turned my phone on. To my surprise the net work is locked again. It is again asking for PIN/PUK and saying that the sim is not valid. I tried to fix it, looking for tips from the internet like
- removing the sim card and putting it back
- checking if my phone is still rooted and according to root checker it still is
- using the root explorer and hex editor
- using the region lock away but it didnt work coz it is asking for a csc data
- accessing the recovery mode (i dont actually know what to do while in recovery mode)
I dont know what to do next bec. According to some internet posts region unlocking is permanent then how come my phone got locked again. I suspected thati may have done some things that led to this. These are:
- my phone memory is getting consumed and so i was forced to transfer a lot files from the phone to the sd card memory the night before.
- i charged my phone thru the usb port of my computer for about an hour or two.
Please help me remove the region lock again. The repair shop where i had it fixed is 7 hour drive from where i live. If possible i wanted to fix this by myself. Thank you guys. I hope you could help me.

Hi Andrew
Thanks for using XDA Assist. I see you've posted in this section. There doesn't seem to be much activity in the galaxy prime forum. Try pointing your question to the Android Q&A,Help and Troubleshooting. Apologies for the late reply.

[Q] How do I fix my Samsung Galaxy S3 SIM problem

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong category , Im new to the XDA forums
So a few weeks ago , I decided to upgrade my S3 Gt-i9300 to android 4.3 from 4.1.2. I thought it was pretty easy , download the rom and then use Odin. Well I screwed up. I used this app called Updato , from which I downloaded the firmware. I didn't realize that I actually download the Poland version and there was something called Orange(pretty sure it was the SIM carrier ) and I ACCIDENTALLY installed it. Well it ended up with my SIM not being detected by my phone. Im pretty sure my SIM is fine its something wrong with the phone. Previously my region rom was Kenya ( although I don't live there) so then , I tried a bunch of stuff , like getting a rom of my own country , which didn't work... Tried to do a bunch of tricks with the battery and SIM . I think that my SIM might have been locked or something... but not quite sure. It was perfectly working before the update. So can anybody link me a rom or atleast help me? When ever I try to connect to a carrier through the settings , I get a small message at the bottom "Network registered" but then in notifications I get the message" No service: Selected service provider not available"
And if you link me a Rom please be 4.1.2 because my phone now lags and hangs a lot. Thank-you.
PS: Need help fast though.
