I have been waiting months to see my dad to use his at&t sim card so I can try to update this phone to nougat. Well I'm finally with him at a party. I insert the SIM card reboot and it says at&t. I goto setting software update and get a message that says no update. Try again in 24 hours.
I'm having the same problem. I have a T-Mobile SIM. I put in the att sim and I get the same thing. I don't know if it needs to be in the phone for a certain amount of time? Any update?
i think on my g3 i had to firmware reset the phone first, with the att sim in it.
also, you can change the date of the phone and it will bypass the 24 hour check thing

Sometimes it does need to be in the phone for longer than a hour or so. And sometimes a factory reset may need to be done. Its touchy.
Just change your date and/or time in your settings to at least 24 hours before you tried the update. Old trick works.

Here's my problem, hopefully somebody can figure it out before I give up and sell this to somebody with AT&T.
I received a freshly refurbished AT&T 8525 (from ebay) and wanted to use it with a T-Mobile SIM. I upgraded to the latest AT&T distribution (WM6, downloaded from HTC), ran the HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a successfully, put my SIM in and everything worked. After calling a friend and talking for about 5 minutes, the call mysteriously ended. I tried recalling (wouldn't connect) and then restarted the phone but it wasn't getting a signal.
Fearing the worst, I tried flashing the latest radio, rerunning the Unlock, and flashing various other ROMs (including an HTC, Schap's, and Pv Dvh Wm6.1 19209) but there was no change. The icon on the Today screen would either give an exclamation point or just continue scanning. If I went into the phone settings and tried to switch to manual network selection, I would sometimes get a choice of T-Mobile or Cingular but any connection attempt would result in a "Failed to register to network" message.
My SIM card works perfectly in both my old phone (HTC Tornado) and an older unlocked Nokia.
My last attempt was to put my friend's AT&T card into my A&T 8525 and it connected just fine with calling ability and everything! I've since run unlock many times, reflashed the radio, installed other ROMs and installed various version of Hard-SPL but none of them seem to be able to connect to the T-Mobile network using my SIM card (but have no problem connecting with my friend's). I can see the phone book on my SIM card so I know its not a bad SIM connection and it does not prompt me for a password (as it first did when I placed my SIM card in the phone when I first received it) so I'm pretty sure it is actually unlocked.
Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!
Try borrowing a friend's phone with AT&T, shove his sim into your phone and talking on it for a few minutes and see if it still happens there. If It doesnt then try your SIM again. Also, try reflashing your radio without your simcard inserted.
I tried reflashing the latest radio without a SIM, then inserted my SIM but there was no change. I'll try talking on it for a while with my friend's SIM and see if anything happens, but I'm doubtful. Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions?
I've noticed that when I go into Settings>Phone>Network and select Manual, all the cooked ROMs I've tried end in a "Cannot read settings from the network." while AT&T's gives a selection of T-Mobile or Cingular (neither of which actually let me register to a network, though).
I put my friend's AT&T card in and called my own cell phone. The connection died after 5 minutes, but then I called my own cell phone again and they stayed connected for 10 minutes before I ended it. I put my SIM back into the 8525 and still no signal.
While the AT&T SIM is inserted, the Settings->Phone->Network screen is different. It just says:
Current Network: AT&T
and has a button for Find Network which just pops up a window saying "Registering on the network...
Any other ideas?
Send it back to whoever sold this to you on ebay. Not worth all the hassle that you are going thru. I have the same phone and bought mine off ebay as well. It worked perfectly out of the box with no problems. I have t-mobile and when I placed the sim in - bam - the phone just worked. I had to configure the pop3 email and mms settings manually, but that was it. I have htc's wm6 on it.
Thanks for the advice, but the first one I got from this guy the screen died after a couple of days. He said it was under warranty so I sent it back to him to get it replaced and it took him 3 months to finally return it to me. I really don't want to deal with him again.
I was wondering if there was a difference between the SIM cards. Could you please run the "SIM Manager" Application on your phone. Then go to Menu>Tools>SIM Information and check out the numbers there. Mine says:
Total Phonebook Size:
250
No. of Phonebook Entries
20
Max. length for name:
16
Max. length for phone number:
50
SMS Message storage capacity:
30
Although my friend who has an AT&T 3G SIM has slightly higher numbers for max. length of name, phone number, and SMS storage capacity.
I've also heard some stuff about specifically asking to get your account 3G enabled, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this problem.
I figure I'll go down to a T-Mobile store and see if I can get somebody to let me try a newer SIM in the phone before giving up completely and selling it.
That's too bad. I bought my phone from zendoo and they have a pretty good rating off of ebay. I'd hate to find out that your ESN or whatever is corrupted. Here are my settings
Total Phonebook Size:
250
No. of Phonebook Entries
11
Max. length for name:
16
Max. length for phone number:

Oh well, I guess I'll see what I can sell this for, wait until my contract is up at the end of summer, and then see what new phones are out then. Thanks for your guys help.
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
*#7465625# see if your network lock is off

I have the exact same issue. I have another phone (i9000). When I put the sim card in the other phone. it works great. Vibrant can get signal sometimes, but just cannot dial out or send messages....
Please help!
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 do not know what to do anymore.
I receive the same texts multitudes of times. I have contacted Motorola, and was instructed to to a factory reset. I did the reset and the problem has not gone away. I am running ICS 4.0.4 and using the stock messaging app. I have informed Motorola that the reset did not work, but am still waiting for a reply (but to be honest, I'm not counting on a solution there).
I received 2 text messages about 28 hours ago, and they are still coming in. Currently those 2 combined have come in 197 times (and going up as I type [it's now 200 times before clicking "submit"]). Another came through today 63 times, and another 48 times. This is driving me mad. I have rebooted the phone, gone in and out of airplane mode. Turned on airplane mode, removed sim, replaced sim, turned off airplane mode. NOTHING!
I'm not sure which way to turn, so that is why I'm here now.
Please can anyway point me the right direction.

OK, I placed my SIM in a Galaxy S3, and 2 messages that kept coming through, came through on the S3 with my SIM in it..
Meaning it's a network/SIM problem.
If the above is true, then why would moto bother?
If Moto suggests a new sim, what would that help? It would do the same with the new SIM wouldn't it? So, is the phone screwing the SIM card up? hmmm.. Are you having the issue/did you have the issue?

SIM cards can screw up by themselves, I had had this problem some time ago, not the messages one, but my phone couldn't find networks at all. It was just once, I bought another SIM and nevermore had this problem
moto OTA updates damages sim card i mean it does something which messes up sim's functionality....like there is a flag which sends confirmation on recieval of message to server so it is assumed that msg is delivered ...but in our cases that flag is not set meaning server thinks that message is not delivered and hence keeps on sending.....so taking new sim will restore that and hence the problem is gone....SO NEXT TIME ON OTA REMOVE SIM AND UPDATE.....
About a week ago when I tried to use my phone it said no SIM card inserted. The SIM was in and unlocked as I had used the phone about an hour before without any problem. I rebooted the phone but still it said no SIM so I powered off, removed the SIM, cleaned it and tried again. Well after about an hour of messing around the phone started working normally again. I didn't do anything more about it and wrote it off as a glitch.
I woke up this morning looked at my phone at it was asking for my PUK unlock code. It seems as though the phone must have rebooted overnight or something and now it's asking for a PUK. Why would it do that? I can't unlock it as my copy of the PUK code has worn so I cannot see all the numbers any more so I'll have to go to my network provider.
My question what could be wrong with the phone that is starting to not recognise the SIM? The issue last week must have been a prelude to this and it's pointing to something failing in the hardware. Any ideas what can be causing this?
Did you flash any ROMs or Kernels? Because that may be the problem usually.

Please give more informationhone Model,Kernel,ROM...
Sorry should have given more information about the phone.
It's a UK GT-I9100 model running stock 2.3.4. I haven't flashed any Roms since updating to 2.3.4 over a year ago. I've been holding out for the UK Jellybean which I've just downloaded ready to go once I sort out this problem.
I think I read somewhere that moisture on the usb port may cause this problem but I can't find that any more and I'm not sure if I'm remembering it correctly either. Although, my phone has never been submerged or even got wet in the rain so I don't think it's moisture.
I just tried putting another SIM into the phone and it works fine. As soon as I put my SIM back in it asks for the PUK. I guess I'll need to go speak to my network provider. Would still like to know why I started having these SIM problems.

Dude,I think your SIM card got blocked.Go to your carrer provider,and ask them to unblock it
I went to my network provider and got the PUK and unlocked the SIM. I asked if they had blocked it or if had been blocked and they said no. They said I must have entered the SIM pin incorrectly which isn't the case as the phone was one and the SIM unlocked before I went to sleep. I put it into flight mode and the next morning when I looked at the phone it was asking for the PUK. That with the previous issue where the SIM wasn't being recognised points to something not quite right either with the hardware or software.
I'm going to be updating to 4.2.1 no that the UK version is available and see if the problems still continue.
I just downgraded my Verizon LG G3 down to 10b from 12 and rooted it, did supersu and flashed TWRP and all is fine there. I then checked off Survival mode in supersu as well. When I went to my update section in settings I got the message that my phone is not yet registered. Now I did read those other threads that explain that when using a flash tool you need to pull out the Sim card, which I didn't do nor did any one of the guides that showed me what to do say anything about that step. So is the fix going to Verizon and buying another Sim card and then inserting it and doing a factory reset? Will I lose root if I do this? Is that basically what I do? Turn the power off, remove the old Sim replace it with the new one turn the phone back on go to settings and do a factory reset? Will the Sim activate that way or do I need to let Verizon themselves do this for me? How does the new Sim get reactivated for my account?
EDIT
And now I am noticing I am getting downgraded to 1X instead of 4G about a half hour after I reboot, happens every time. I assume that is due to the Sim card issue as well
EDIT #2 Damn now I notice my IMEI number is 0000 0000 0000 0000
Damn I guess I am screwed, thought I would have some answers by now lol. I regret rooting the phone....
Has this not happened to anyone else? Losing the IMEI number but the phone still works? The only major issue I seem to have is I can't use OTA to get back to build 12 because I get that message saying the phone is not registered yet and also about 20 minutes after starting the phone I all of a sudden lose 4G and it goes to 1X. I reboot it goes back to 4G and 20 minutes later back to 1X. I am hoping the not registered yet message is due to maybe a screwed up sim card and hopefully the 4G issue as well. If anyone has any ideas at all please reply. Also will reflashing the phone rebuild that efs partition that stores the IMEI number? As I am under the impression that totally reflashing back to stock rebuilds all the phones partitions.
HERE IS ANOTHER CLUE
When I go into settings in 1X mode, if I turn airplane mode on and then off again a few seconds later I go back into 4G mode for a short while then it goes back to 1X. I am really hoping my sim card is to blame for this issue as I will get a new one today to test it out.
Do some research and look at the G2 method to restore IMEI. Use the hints of how to downgrade version by tot method in connecting G3. It can be done. Try to stay off of Verizon in mean time.

Good luck
Thanks a lot for the help guys. I was at work all day so I didn't see that 2nd link or I would have tried it before I did what I actually did. I went to the local Verizon store and told the salesman that in trying to get my phone to be able to use a PS3 controller (which is the truth) me and my buddy downloaded software onto the phone to alter it so it would allow for the controller to work with the phone so I could play games with it. Again all true I just left out the name of the software and I handed the guy the phone after telling him how my Sim card seems to be whacked out and my IMEI is gone. He changed out the Sim card and that did indeed fix the phone not registered issue and also the 4G problem was gone too. I was going to leave well enough alone when he said while your phone will work fine it is showing up as an unsupported device on my computer, it is still within the 14 day exchange period do you want me to swap it out with a new phone? I said that we altered the phone, wouldn't I have to pay for a new phone as that voids my warranty no? He said well I see you are eligible for a discount and since you bought this LG G3 near Valentines day I can offer you a free LG G Tab 8.3 tablet, I will knock off the 10 dollars payment per month from another phone that you are owed a discount on and basically all you have to pay for is the 40 dollar activation fee and sign a 2 year contract for the 10 bucks a month that you really won't be paying since I am knocking it off of another phone for you. Do that and I will just wipe this phone again as it works fine and we can easily fix it and I can just set you up here with a replacement and you will be good to go. I couldn't believe it lol. So I walked out of there with a new LG G3 plus a free (not really free since it is 10 bucks a month but he took 10 bucks off of a different phone which would not have happened if I didn't go there today) LG G-tab tablet AND I TOLD THE TRUTH!!!! It probably doesn't hurt that I now have 8 devices attached to my account and send somewhere around 360-400 dollars a month to them lol.
Glad it worked out for you! Yep, I'm sure it doesn't hurt that you're a non-benefiting "shareholder".
I have the VK810.4G (Verizon LG G Pad 8.3) too.
