Root/Flash without sim card - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to root/flash custom rom without having a sim card inside the phone?
Any limitation or implications with doing so?
I haven't got my new micro-sim yet. Still using the old normal sized sim card.

Yes. Sim card has nothing to do with flashing/rooting

confusing but are you saying your sim card is working fine in your phone but your friends sim does not work in your phone? is it same network.. is your phone unlocked to all networks? maybe if your provide more details about your phone and stuff someone might be able to provide you with a better answer hopefully..
i say my sim card he work fine but when i insert sim card my friend in my phone i have the problem in my phone and i close the sim card my friend and i insert my sim card and i have same problem no service/ no sim card are you understand
I understand, uhh i think whaha what the F... are you saying. Why put your friends sim in your
Phone? Its his card so ask a new phone from him. Because the sim is no sim but a
a litle cia devise that can send mesage from a tai girl that i fiund in the yellow pages. Not realy yellow because here un holland we use green pages. And brown,leaves. it is late un year so that is why there brown. Do they have brown sim in syria?
You understand this......i don't haha
Ok your simcard worked in your phone then you put your friends sim card in your phone it didnt read his sim then you put yours back in and it says the same no sim card are you putting the sim in wrong? Ive done it not paying attention before thats why i ask

The dude is saying that his and his friends sim card don't work in his x10 but both work fine in his friends.
My first suggestion would be to perform a factory data reset to eliminate setting problems. If that doesn't work, then send it off to the closest repair center because It's probably a hardware problem with the sim reader.
Mods... can this thread get moved to the q&a forum where it belongs.

Why the hell did you not at least back in up in KIES?
Try card in another fone...
Take out the sim card and clean it. Put it back and try again. If not working, try what suggested in the previous post.
Good luck

[Q] Affter upgrade sim card is not detected

After i upgraded my samsung galaxy sIII with the the version=4.1.1 , baseband version=I9300xxdlid, Build number=JRO03C.I9300XXDLJ1..
the sim card is not recognised by the phone ???
Check first to see that you have not damaged the sim card contact pins. I did. I flashed 3 roms with no help only to find a bent pin two days later.
Use a card reader to back up data and format the card .

Check if you're IMEI is intact.
Flash the stock rom from sammobile via Odin.
Restore EFS backup if you have one.

Is this a software or hardware bug?

Hi,
After I restart my phone, actually it restarts sometimes automatically but don't get me there, I lose access to my SD card and have to remove and re-instert it to get it working again.
So I was wondering if it's the SD card's fault, the phone's hardware or the Android 4 and I upgraded from 2.3.6?
Thanks.

your sd card isn't remounting it self most probably a rom fault or something preventing it from auto mounting
Thanks, how can I fix it? I'm on a stock ROM, htc's 4.0.4.

You should probably just flash a RUU, you will need to lock your boot loader again if it's unlocked. Once it downloads, rename it PH85IMG and put it on the root of the external SD card (not in any folder). Its the micro sd, Not the phone storage! If you have no micro SD, you'll need to buy one.
If the RUU doesn't fix it, copy your SD card files to your computer and format the sd card in 4ext, maybe your SD is acting up instead of the ROM.
Don't forget to hit thanks if I helped you, or if someone else helped you!

Dual SIM online problems.

Hello everyone. I want to use the AOSP/CM system. Tried several systems before but were able to make my two SIM cards simultaneously. (Card 1:CDMA/LTE card 2 gsm/WCDMA/LTE). Please tell me what system solves this problem?
Translation of this article from Microsoft.
You can't use both Sims with LTE.
