I got an LG G5 recently and all of a sudden it has stopped recognizing my Cricket SIM. If I reboot it, it will find the network for a minute or so, then say “SIM was removed” (or something to that effect). It started when I put in an old unprovisioned ATT SIM to try to get updates. I got a new SIM from Cricket which helped for a couple of days, but then it stopped working. I tried wiping, reflashing, rebooting, everything. The phone info tab of the menu says something about the application not being supported. Any ideas?

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

Tired that... The Network lock is off and still the same issue.
Are you using AT&T? You may have to load AT&T network.......

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
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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.
Okay so I just got this phone 2 days ago. I was waiting for the unlock code and I decided to stupidly try to root it first. Anyway so I was about 1/2 way through with the root process and I misunderstood some steps but before I could finish my code came through.
I kinda had to jump through some hoops (had to go into phone to punch in 2945#*500# and then the unlock code) but the process seemed to succeed. I should mention, it was having trouble with my sim card (Which was not the same carrier[Sim is Fido .. the phone is for Koodo]) with force closes of the phone while hte sim was in, so I turned it on and unlocked it without the sim in.
Anyway so now when I turn on the phone, the phone process just force closes everytime and it pretty much makes the phone unusable with the force close of the phone popping up every few seconds.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I think the problem could be caused by the fact that I was running the 2.2 Telus firmware during the process of unlocking (I couldn't find a 2.2 firmware for Koodo) ... it's back to koodo again tho but it's still like that ... I've flashed it back using KDZ.
Okay some things that might help...
I just popped in the Koodo sim to see if it does anything (it's deactivated tho) ... the phone app doesn't force close ...
Also I noticed something a little peculiar about the sim cards. My fido one has a larger gold surface area and the koodo sim has a smaller one. I've added a photo to compare .. the contacts seem to line up just fine but maybe there's a difference?
Okay I should probably get some sleep cuz this is absolutely driving me nuts lol.
Anyway I just remembered I had a Tmobile simcard still lying around from my vacation to the US last year. So I went ahead and popped it in. no force closes ...
So I think it's probably my Fido simcard is too old? I've tried cleaning it with some alcohol.
Uhh, you can try doing a factory reset (deletes stuff).
home + vol. down + power when powering on.
EDIT: Also, you don't need root to unlock a phone
yea I've tried multiple factory resets
(soft, hard) with the sim and without it ... no dice.
I was just rooting it to install a custom kernel and see how the phone works when it's OCed. I wished it was possible to unlock by the rooting it
edit: I guess I should also mention, the fido sim works just fine in my Motorola Milestone *shrug*
So I've pretty much confirmed for some reason my Fido sim can't be read. I just popped in a friend's Roger's sim card .. and it works fine. I made a phone to confirm as well.
Sorry if this has been asked and answered, I was looking to switch from Verizon to T-Mobile. I have an S9+ and my SO has a Note 8. Got the SIMS on the BYOD, popped hers in, it detected the SIM, restart, and bam. All the software and what not is there.
Pop mine in, nothing. Restart, nothing. No software, no settings. The device is unlocked (Verizon says all 4G are unlocked.) I get the "Sim card is not from Verizon." Am I missing something?
What a pain in the ass. T-Mo said I'd have to download all the software. Yes?
My kid has an S8, we got the Sprint deal, popped in the Sim, installed and setup without delay. Only my S9+ has drama.
Ideas?

Mine worked fine, it selected the TMobile apn on its own. Maybe you can go to apn and change to tmobile or add one?
I have the Galaxy S9 Plus U. S. Unlocked version. When I first purchased it T-Mobile was my carrier, I popped in the new T-Mobile SIM and everything set up automatically, I tried Verizon when I popped their Sim in everything set up automatically, currently I'm running ATT when I put my ATT Sim in everything popped up and set up automatically. So, maybe there's something wrong with your sim card.
I have an lg k8+ model x210ulm that i want to use with cricket. The phone is fully unlocked and will accept any sim from any carrier but has an odd behaviour that wont let me use my own sim.
I bought a feesh sim from cricket and when i put it in and set it up it will register with crickets apn and mobile network settibg. I get data and it shows up in the about network as connected and working. It shows cricket carrier in notificstion and i can get texts and even voice mail. But ........
I cannot use the dialer. Upon connection there is no error toast or anything it just imnedistely hangs up.
I can use my wifes my sons or my friends sims in the phone and after a reboot works perfectly. But when i put mine in it stops.
Also my sim works fine in any other unlocked device or cricket device.
Any clue as to wth is going on
Ok so after talking to lg and really that was frustrating. Why because the rep told me it the phone was carrier locked to us cellular which i knew it wasnt because its advertised as being unlocked and well us cellular put up an advert a few years ago stating that all thier phones are unlocked.
So after that i went ahead and talked to a rep at us cellular who assured me it was unlocked and checked the imei for me and sent me link to the advert about thier phones being unlocked.
Back to lg and got another rep this time who knew a lil about something but not much. Could not tell me any thing though.
Now back to cricket where we tested my girlfriends sim in my phone to which it worked and mine in her phone to which it worked. We put the sims in my aristo 2 and fortune 2 and both sims worked. But when i put my sim back in my my k8+(2018) once again every thing works fine but you cannot make or recieve phone calls.
We also tested the voice mail app and and thier what qualifies as a carrier app and it registers. The sim registers in about phone shows service and is connected. Shows the phone number every thing works.
Just not the phone Dialer app
So is there any one out there at all that has had an issue like this before. Any one that can help me figure out what the problem is. This is so crazy that my sim wont work and every one elses will.
Could it be something i did using dialer codes? Any cLues at akl
So here we are months later and im still having sim issues with my k8+ ulm. I ended up buying a brand new device and i tried my provisioned sim card with it not working but literally every other sim card works fine.
I have switched from cricket to assist wireless now who is run or what ever by sprint and i can get the sim card to work for a couple days before switching it to another phone but the main issue is that i get a error popup stating that the sim card has locked and that i need to power cycle and call customer service.
But i made a ton of changes by adding all the system apps from sprint including sprinthiddenmenu and any other apk that was on the tribute dynasty they came from. I also went through the file system and made any prop changes or any thing else that was needed to enable sprint.
At this point id flash a sprint modem but i cant find a cv1 device provisioned under sprint
I have an Samsung S9 Plus that was an AT&T unit (I think) and I flashed it over to the global firmware so I could use it on Visible (Verizon). It has been working for months, but I have now had this problem happen twice. I get up on a Monday, and notice that my phone has no service. I think it says "No Network Connection" or something like that. The first time I tried many of the usual steps - switching airplane mode, resetting network, wiping the cache, long support chats with Visible. What finally got it working again was putting in another sim(from Red Pocket - AT&T). That made the phone go through a reboot to swap over to the new sim. Then I put the old Visible sim back in. The phone does another reboot, and now everything is working again.
Is there a way that I can get the phone to go through this process without swapping the sims? I would just like to know if there is a more efficient way of fixing this problem when it pops up.

Call your carrier and have them to a reprovision. I had this happen with T-mobile coming from Sprint.. They will have you turn off the phone, do something on their end, and after that it should work.
Just to update, I have switched over to ATT Prepaid. Since the change, I have not had the problem happen. I think it must have been an issue with Red Pocket. Either that or something that got fixed with an update. Just putting these data points out there for anyone else that is having issues like this.
