Okay I got this i717 and could not figure out what's wrong with the sim card slot. I've never posted on a forum before but I'm stuck.
Things I've tried
-went back to gingerbread from ics
- bought a new sim card slot board and put it in and still the same problem(insert sim)
- cleared cache from clockwork and titanium
- flashed different radios and modems
- tried different ROMs
I know longer know what to try, I also would like to note that it has an imei and baseband so its nothing to do with efs. It just won't read sim cards and I know its not the hardware because the micro sim words and its on the same board. Please help me out. I'm using an old slide phone now.

I know you say its not the hardware, but that's sure what it sounds like.
When you say micro sim, have you tried a regular sim in the slot?
I made a typo' "micro sim" was suppose to be "micro SD card", and I know it sounds like the hardware but I was so sure that when I replaced the sim and micro SD board it would work because everything on the phone works fine except for the sim, I've read around and the only solution I'm seeing is to send it in but that's not an option for me. And yea I just have a normal sim card from at&t that supports hspa

The only thing you can try short of replacing the motherboard is to take your work apart and double-clean the contacts between the motherboard and sim/SD cards board.
Did it ever read sim cards or did you buy it this way? Did you use Odin to reinstall the factory Gingerbread ROM?
I'll try what rangercaptain said but yes it did read my sim card when I bought it and then every now and then would randomly say insert sim and normally a reboot would fix it but it finally just cut out completely and that's when I bought the new board but it still said the same thing

Hi. Once every few hours, my phone will suddenly lose connection for a few seconds and say "Invalid sim card", then it will connect again. It gets really annoying, especially when I'm in the middle of a conversation. Is there a fix for this?
I have this too as well as saying sim card not installed

If you used a sim cutter to cut your sim to microsim ... it may of not been done properly
If not... try cleaning the sim contact points on both sim card and simcard tray
Hope that helps

I heard abt sim card issue on some russian forum.
Its somethig you cant know exacly till you try. I mean one sim card works well, another - not. Even of same carrier.
Its about specifications of sim.
For now is only one solution is to contact your gsm operator and ask for an available sim cards and try one by one.
Had that when I bought the Razr from the Verizon store. I reset to factory and reentered my Gmail and fine ever since.
Something had not setup right the first time.

For GSM users upgrading radio will solve the issue, just take a look at developer section & find a thread : upgrading radio, radio 85P is recommended

Many thanks. it works after upgrade the radio
I have this problem now, **** this **** ****ing whore I need my phone tommorow and now the sim will not be recognized. I am on stock 2.3.6 wtf should I do?
Does this work on Rogers Razr? Mine is randomly doing this and sometimes i turn the Airplane mode and it gets fixed or restarts. So the most viable solution would be to restart the phone... After that, it's all good again. Wondering if upgrading the radio will fix this entirely.

Try to do a factory reset...it worked for me..****ing **** I know it will take time and u will need to recover apps but it worked for me
cut the sim is delicated process...
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.
Hello all,
I have had the no SIM issue on AT&T lately. Does anybody know how to fix this? Is it as simple as flashing a ROM or replacing SIM card or replacing the phone? I'm rooted on Hasoons Senseless QX 2.0.0. Since its basically modified stock it doesn't count as ROM change hence no fix.
Thanks,
Irish

I wish I had something else to say other than a me too, but I've been seeing it a lot myself recently. Everything I've read says that I should reseat my sim card. So I'm going to try that tonight. My local AT&T store told me that I should also reset the phone to factory defaults to solve it. Implying that some app I installed caused it.
Since I haven't rooted the phone yet, I'd be surprised if any app I installed caused it.

resetting the SIM card isn't a permanent fix, only permanent fix is put a little peice of paper between the SIM Card and the SIM tray to remove the slack and sim issue.

interesting. I'll give that a try. That brings up an interesting question though. If it's because the SIM card is physically loose, why does toggling Airplane mode fix it for me ?
The only thing that makes sense is that the SIM card comes loose, the system detects it and then puts up the message, but never checks to see if it came back.
Still, very interesting.
wow i hope that doesnt happen to me, sounds a bit worrying

yes your right that is what happening it doesn't reset itself. HTC is going to need to make some new sim card trays for everyone
Update: resteating the SIM fixed it for now

so i'm trying a fix a galaxy note att branded i717 note. my friend bought it craiglslist. here's what happens.
phone simply will not accept ANY att sim card. either "active" sim or fresh unactivated sim. same goes for tmobile sim cards. in both cases it will show "no sim/emergency calls only".
fine. i was under the impression that it should ask for some unlock code after inserting tmobile sim card, but it doesnt do that. clearly other MVNO sims didn't work either. note - both att and tmbole sims are 89014xxxxx
interestingly i had a foreign sim card (NON 89014xxxx....). => this works! instead of "no sim/emergency calls only", i simply get no service but no errors either!
WHAT is wrong with this phone? blacklisted? hardware fault? flash a different rom? any ideas?
Possible Sim card port damage...
A common problem with this device ....however, without knowing the history of the device, it becomes very difficult to diagnose...
But I'm leaning toward the Sim slot being damaged, as we have several threads on the subject ...g

well there's your problem, i hope you didn't spend too much on it.
I think he paid around 310. But the phone was in like new condition. If the SIM slot us damaged then why it would only reject tmob,att ones? It should reject every sim.
thx for ur responses. Appreciate it

I think I can help. Try resetting your phone, reinstalling the rom, or there is a bad thing going on with your phone. Are you sure itbis from AT&T? If the SIM card slots do not work, gently use a cloth to clean them. Is it a micro SIM card or did you cut a regular one down yourself? thank me if anything I mention fixes the problem.
hi, thanks everybody for posting. some strange things happening.
I tested two Tmobile MVNO (ultra and ptel) sim cards, both work! I didn't try simple mobile yet.
i found ONE tmobile and ONE at&t sim card that gets read properly. then i tried few other att/tmobile sim cards and they are rejected. !!!??!!!
I think i need to go the debug mode and change some settings there? *#197328640#
clearly sim slot is not broken. imei is not blocked.
Hi
I just bought a used note i717 that worked flawlessly for sbout a week then decided it didnt wanna read my T-Mobile sim anymore.
With the help of these forums ive tried every solution under the moon
Ive replaced my sim card and the sim card reader, flashed different modems and now I'm about to try a different rom.
Currently running CyanogenMod, team win and the phone is unlocked. I'm open to any new suggestions at this point.
Thanks!!!

I have this problem as well. I had my sim card reader replaced, which did the trick for a couple days. Then the "No sim" came back. I took it back, the worker took the insides apart then put it back together correctly. It fixed it for another couple days. Now I'm stuck.
edit. I have suspicion that one of the antennas or more (GSM, 3G 4G LTE, Wifi) are faulty
