[Q] How do I fix my Samsung Galaxy S3 SIM problem - General Questions and Answers

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.

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:

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...

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

can someone please help any advice will be appreciated :good:
Hi
First you have to root again, install busybox then install Ariza Patch for IMEI, click on patch 0.5 and you should be fine. I think everyone who has upgraded to leaked JB 4.2.2 ended up in the same situation.

I was having a similar issue on my friend's i9300. I upgraded his phone to 4.3 but got this issue. Unfortunately, I didn't back up his EFS so lost the network after upgrade (NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK).
I Tried everything from Ariza patch to going back to 4.1 MG4 firmware & zuluman patching the MG4 modem but nothing worked at all.
I was at my wit's end when as a last resort I installed I9300XXUGNB6 firmware through Odin. Then rooted it, installed CWM recovery. After that I installed "Patched_Modem_I9300XXEMG4" zip through CWM (ATTACHED).
There was still no network & IMEI turned to 000000000.
After that I downloaded Boeffla 5.1 kernel (for i9300) and VOILA, I got network & IMEI was restored. I do not know how it worked but it solved my problem. You can download Boeffla kernel from his website boeffla-kernel. de
I promised myself to always backup EFS & never to upgrade anyone's phone again except my own. Too much liability.
I hope it works for you.

[Q] Wont recognize SIM card after flashing rom on MOTO G PLEASE HELP!

Hello, i recently thought about flashing a rom on my phone, i did all the basic stuff unlock boot loader, root etc but when i put the file on my device i got stuck in a bootloop, so i panicked a little and went on to google to find a STOCK ROM for the moto g. I found one and flashed that instead, it did infact save my device and i was so happy at the point, but then i noticed that at the top on my task bar it said i had no signal on BOTH Sdcards when infact this phone only has 1!? (my o2 simcard was in at the time) Anyway i went into setting and it had above he wifi setting "Dual SIM settings" which i have never even seen before. Anyway i clikced on that and it says 'SIM1 Disabled' and below it says 'SIM2 Disabled' Also my Mobile DATA has vanished to. All this worked before i went and screwed up my device. Im kind of in a panic and really dont want to loose this phone :crying: :crying: Please can anyone help get me back my signal and data, other then that everything else is working normal.

You have flashed a single sim variant of the stock ROM on your device, find the dual sim version for your phone here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
Also, of course your data has gone as your phone has undergone a reset and firmware flash
All of them are not for 4.4.4 or does that not matter?

Absolutely. From experience, you must flash the dual sim variant. Unfortunately, there is 4.4.4 available, but only for the States. You might PM me the OTA update package and I'll be able to help.

Cant find any for O2 uk or retail UK or duel sim or even 4.4.4

Custom imei samsung galaxy j5 [j500f]

Hi folks,
i'm new here so if i'm making a mess by posting here my problem, my apologies.
Here it goes, i'm from Portugal and i've got a S.G J5 model nÂș J500F, i didn't bought it brand new so in the first days of use i was gettin error in SIM service, so i went to a shop and explain to the guy what was happening and the guy told me it was imei issues and he could change it, at start it was everything ok the phone worked just fine, but i noticed the guy downgraded my android version from 6 to 5.1.1 and now the problems started again, when i install Facebook, Instagram and stuff like that, the phone crash and pop-ups with all kinds of errors ocurs, like Contacts As Stoped, Messages as Stoped, until i can't do anything in phone and need to wipe everything and make a clean install again.
The problem is, i want to upgrade my android version (my phone is rooted) but i don't know if i update it i will lose the changed IMEI that the guy put in there and then i'll not have SIM Service again.
Can somebody help me ? i'm noob in that stuff.
And i'm sorry for the bad english LOL
Thank U.
you can upgrade it, dont worry about imei, imei will be remain same as the guy change it

Help Please

Hi.
I'm from uk ( hi to you all ). I made a mistake, bought an s8+ on ebay which ended up to be an usa model ( scam ) and after 1 month of usage suddently my SIM doesen't work anymore ( worked smoothly before ) also my phone says "no service" :crying: .
My SIM is working into other devices but no other sim works into my phone.
I believe i got some kind of virus or maybe a software problem..i don't know.
Tried factory reset, network reset, still no results.
Reading through the forum i tried out odin but i'm a newbee here ( never had usa models ). I tried 2-3 different ways but the result is "FAIL"
All i know when i enter the Download mode it says: carrier ATT
But my Baseband is G955USQU4CRE9 ( t mobile ) i dont know how.
Anyway, can anyone of you help me please with a step by step tutorial and maybe a link that suits my phone?
Thank you very much and have a lovely day.

I would make sure the device isn't blacklisted I have seen cases like this a bunch of times. All 4 major carriers in US can be checked on their websites. With the byod pages a lot as well as other places. If it is black listed you can use your local police. Plus eBay or where ever with your purchase receipt
