All of sudden, my phone does not detect the SIM card anymore. I inserted another good SIM card, and get the same error. I tried to press the SIM card to ensure good contact, but not working. No problem with other function. I inspected the SIM card slot and it appears perfect. The phone has never been dropped or having liquid damage.
I did the factory reset, but could not get rid of the error. Unfortunately I just travelled to oversea...
AT&T agreed to replace the phone, but I will not have any phone on the road.
I am willing to try anything. Does not seem to be software related, but...
Anyone know how to fix the problem?
Thanks.
Hey. There us a thread about this just search for it... don't think they found a solution
Did this happen while your sim was still in the phone or after a removal and replace?

My 1717D stpped working too when I installed T-Mobile radio
I bought 1717D with Android 4.o.4 on it , Kernel 3.0.8-perf-1717DTLLF4-CL793911 and tryed to install T-Mobile modem to work with Mobilicity.Ufter this update phone doesnt recognize my SIM card any more.I Tryed all 3 modems with the same results, even though I did changed modem on two previous 1717 phones before.They were with 3.3.5. I thing The problem is in Gingrbred rom this pfone has.Where can I get original Yelus factory Rom ?One more thing is strange: it doesn't show any IMEI ,Baseband shows Unknown.
The phone has ics 4.0.4. I inserted a foreign sim card while traveling abroad and found "no sim" error. Then i switched back to the att sim and found with the same error. I shall say i always use the foreign sim while oversea and never had problem with this phone before. And i always power down, remove battery and then replace sim card.
I reflashed the ics radio and still no good. I can see the imei number in setting. But the baseband is unknown. I read almost all related posts and could not find a software fix.

"No SIM" just happened to me. I recently updated to the official JB stock ROM & Note worked great for about ten days... then just quit and displayed the "No SIM" error message. I first tried just shutting down, removing & cleaning SIM, replacing & rebooting. Nada. Then tried different, fully charged battery. Still no go. Still at home tried a factory reset, removing SIM, clean, & reboot. Gave up and went to an AT&T kiosk. Rep set me up with a new SIM and I'm back in business for two days now. Rep was quite philosophical, "it happens sometime." Still don't know why.

My Vibrant just stopped working...
My Vibrant is unlocked (purchased code from a site) and was working fine for a week (got it 2 weeks ago). It's rooted and I flash a few roms and modems to test out what i liked. Yesterday, it decided to lose signal. I wanted a few hrs and still had no signal. I tried searching for a network. AT&T showed up and when I selected it, I got "Your sim card does not allow connection to this network". I've tried flash the modem, then the rom, and even tried restoring it with Odin. Non worked. I then tried a TMO sim and i got signal, but can't dial out...
Please help! I've search and haven't had any luck fixing it... Thanks in advance.
Usually when you flash a rom, it may wipe the folder containing your unlock code. Redo your unlock with the same code you purchase

Yes I'm on AT&T. What do you mean by load the network? I've been to the network/wireless settings and have the "AT&T 310 410" APN selected. When i do a network operators search, Automatically doesn't fix it. When i do a "search now", AT&T shows up and when i select that it says "Register on AT&T" and then i get the "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"

I ran into the same problem last week. My Vibrant was working in the morning, and then it gave me the same message a bit later on the day. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. I contacted TMobile and they told me it could be a bad sim. I was taken back by this, as it was working earlier in the day. I ended up going to a TMobile store and got a new sim. It worked after the new sim was inserted.
Maybe you can get a new sim with ATT.

I popped my friends AT&T SIM in and still had the same issue...
I'm thinking of just getting a prepaid SIM and testing it out. That should be the same as getting a new sim, right?

After the trouble shooting didn't work, TMobile gave me a free sim card. She noted my account and told me to go into a Tmobile store to get one.
I won't pay for a prepaid just to test it out...Can you contact ATT
I talked to AT&T yesterday too... Tech said its the phone... contact the carrier/maker of the phone... They don't really help you unless the phone is AT&T branded... guess I'm SOL and might need to just sent it to Samsung for repairs... =T
Update: I flashed everything back to stock JI6 via odin. Just tested on my friends TMO sim (he has a vibrant also). It finds the TMO network, but can't dial out. After a few min, no signal...
Im having the same issues, my phone messed up and i finally got it up and running again but now I am unable to register the sim on the network, and this happens with other sims

Unlock code
I downloaded the SGS unlock app a while back but had not done anything but get the code.
I powered off, installed a different sim and unlocked the phone. It was some left over sim that I knew would not give me service. After unlock and a failure to connect I powered off and put the working sim back in.
I had a little difficulty with getting 3G to come back up. Edge data and phone worked. I had to go and force a manual selection of t-mobile and then 3G popped up.
Then gmail and syncing died. I restored gmail gmail-storage and sync from backup with no luck. I'm not sure how I got it to come up but I got a password prompt and after entering it I got it back. I still had a sync error message under accounts and sync but not when I pressed on the gmail account. Rebooting got rid of that error and it's back up.
Not a clean swap at all. I'm not sure why gmail hurled.
The phone remains unlocked. If I get another sim I'll see if gmail still has a panic attack.
What should happen when you dial *#7.. on my vibrant it just says Mobile Network not available.
Hi All,
I have a Galaxy SII, which I rooted and flashed with ICScrewD ♦♦♦♦Homemade Ice Cream
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375255
It worked fine for a couple of days, now all of a sudden I am not getting any signal on my phone, and instead of the signal bars I am getting the no network symbol. I tried different modems, different ROMs, doesn't seem to work. I even went back to the stock, but no luck.
When I went to the wifi & network settings and tried to click on the network settings it says "insert sim card" even though the sim is already in there. I tried my sim on a different phone, it works fine. So i am guessing its not At&t's fault.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
When you re-inserted your sim card back in your GS2, what happened? Is it an old sim and are the contacts worn and scratched?
The contacts are just fine. Even when i reinsert it nothing happens, I still get the no network symbol. It is basically behaving like no sim is inserted.
Well it sounds like a trip to an AT&T store might be in your future to test another SIM card. Hopefully that's all it is. Wifi radio works fine?
Try reflashing back to stock?
The wifi works just fine, and i tried flashing it back to stock, did a factory reset also, but nothing seems to work.
I have not dropped my phone even once, so that rules out the physical damage.
Well not sure this will help *fix* the issue, but might provide a bit more insight into what exactly the phone is and isn't seeing. If you download Elixir 2, linked below, and run a report and send it to yourself via email, look in the Telephony section of the report and see if the phone even sees the SIM card. Obviously it sounds like it doesn't, but if it gives you your SIM serial info in there, you might be able to rule out an issue with the actual card itself, etc.
Elixir 2 - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bartat.android.elixir&feature=search_result
Nope, it says sim state is unknown, I guess i will have to go to the At&t store then.
Thanks anyways.
[Q] "Can't connect right now. Try again later." or equivalent in stock, CM9 and CM10
Hi folks! Needing some help, please.
I've googled my problem a lot but couldn't find any working solution. Below is the detailed history.
I have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300, cut my previous SIM, and used it for about four weeks with no problems. During this time, I rooted my phone, backed up the stock ROM, installed CM9 and afterwards CM10.
About a week ago, while using CM10, I switched off airplane mode after about nine hours and the signal power meter was empty. All the services related to my carrier (SMS, 3G, calls) were inoperative. I rebooted the phone, tried removing and reinserting the SIM, with no success.
I tried flashing the previous backups, also with no success, but noticed that while using the stock rom, the signal meter was full. This prompted me to access "Settings > Wireless (...) > More... > Mobile Networks > Network Operators", where to my surprise all the available carriers were listed. I did the same check in the rural area of my town, where I know my carrier does not work, and the cellphone correctly detected only the other three carriers.
These symptoms led me to believe that my cut sim could be the problem. I got a microsim from my carrier, but the problem persisted.
After this, I assumed the problem was software related, googled it and found some recommendations:
Complete wipe and backup restoration: this was not successful with stock, CM9 and CM10.
Complete wipe and stock ROM re-installation with Odin: also not successful.
Modem flashing with Odin: also not successful.
Firmware flashing with KIES: I put the cellphone in download mode and made the firmware recovery procedure from KIES. Also not successful.
Restoration of efs folder and IMEI related issues: I did not have backup of this folder, but the symptoms related to the problem in the posts I found always included the absence of IMEI. When I type *#06# in my phone, I can correctly see my IMEI, so I discarded this possibility. My carrier also informed me that my IMEI is not blacklisted.
I thought of getting a new microsim to rule out any SIM related issues, but still haven't done it.
Information regarding my phone:
Phone model: GT-i9300
Baseband version: I9300UBLG2
Firmware vesion when on stock (from KIES): PDA:LJ1 / PHONE:LI2 / CSC:LJ2 (ZTO)
Could someone please help me? I still have not tried the EFS folder troubleshooting, but the procedures I found were related to problems that did not show the same symptoms as mine. Do anyone have any suggestion? Please tell me if any more information is needed.
Thanks!
Why not just get a micro Sim to begin with....they don't cost anything and it saves a whole lot of hassle. My guess is the sim reader is damaged....IF and WHEN you decide to get a new micro sim, if it doesn't work then that could be the only cause and the service centre your only option. Seriously dude, next time to save yourself hassle....go an get a micro sim from your carrier, I wouldn't even think about hacking away at an old sim because I can't be bothered to walk to a Vodafone shop.

I have just come back from the carrier store, where I got a new SIM, and the issue persists. I also double-checked any IMEI blocking or problems with my services, and everything is ok.
Coincidentally, a Samsung consultant was around. He checked my phone and talked to Samsung tech support describing the issue.
They do not think it is related to the cutting of the SIM card for two reasons, the first being the ability to locate the carriers, the second being the fact that a visual inspection of the slot and the scratch marks on the SIM card do not indicate a broken or bent contact.
Obviously, he recommended that I send my phone to an authorized Samsung service center for maintenance.
I am still inclined to think it is a software related issue. I will, of course, send my phone to Samsung if it is case, but in the meantime I would like to try new procedures to bring back my phone's ability to connect to my carrier.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
An additional information:
I tried checking my sim through some apps, to confirm there is no damage in the contacts. GalaxSim Unlock is able to detect my sim and correctly show my phone status as unlocked.
Any suggestions on tests?

Hi!
I bought S939(not completely new), which from what I understand is not a device that's created for the European market. In order to make it function, I believe that the device was rooted\modified. Now, I can perfectly use it to go on the internet, make photos ecc, but when I put my SIM , I'm unable to "catch" the network of my provider. A message "Can't connect right now. Try again later." appears. I can save numbers on the SIM, for example, but unable to register on the network.
Also on the main screen, I can see writter "Invalid IMEI".
Thanks!

Inactive sim?
Beamed in by telepathy.
Hi, I have read, looked, read even more and I have not found one thing to help me with this.
After I rooted and tried the recovery everything was fine till I powered off and restarted, now the phone powers on and I am able to connect to wifi networks but my phone is saying that it can not connect to any mobile networks and seeing as I haven't seen a way to go back to stock. I was wondering if anyone could help because I have literally lost all hope with this phone.
(P769 running 10e United States Tmobile phone)
Well, you're technically still on stock - root/CWM recovery changes a few system files but nothing that should corrupt the basic stock install. You hadn't installed Titanium and uninstalled anything else - correct?
Under Settings->Software Information do you see a baseband version reported?
What do you have under Settings->Network ?
Try taking the battery out for 30s and taking the SIM and rubbing the gold contacts (light cleaning) on a cloth or your shirt. Replace everything and power up.

If your phone can see networks and you getting 'not allowed' messages, you likely have a SIM problem. check with your carrier.

I have same problem in LG Optimus L9.
I already replaced SIM from Vodafone last 15 days back and today i have the same problem. Vodafone help centre are telling to chaneg the sim again. Is this handset issue?
Same problem, not a SIM card problem
I have the exact same problem.
It's not related to the SIM card as my SIM card works fine in another phone and another SIM card in my phone gives the same problem.
This happened me 2 months ago, I left the phone for dead and started using a spare on I have, a couple of weeks later I check again and it's all working perfectly, strange !
Comforting to see that I'm not the only one with this problem.
I've done a hard reset and that made no difference.

Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago, now it wont read the sim at all. I ordered a new sim tray but it has not arrived yet, but if you search other threads, this may not fix our issue. Seems to be a problem with this phone.. I'll keep you posted if the replacement fixes my issue.
Dunno. Might be a fault in the mobo or the sim slot. I replaced the sim slot and it went away for the most part, but it comes back at least once per day.
