No Sim card found?

Was using my s4 last night and ask of a sudden I got a message saying no sum card found. Also there are no APNs in the menu. I wiped multiple times flushed different Roms to no avail. Should I flash to sick via Odin? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Did you check to make sure a SIM card is in it? (inevitably someone would ask...)
What was the exact error?

Yes its in. And I swapped in a new one, still nothing. It says no Sim card found

Did you upgrade? In previous upgrades AT&T has killed my SIM erroneously (not the old one, the new one sent with the new device) but it should give a "SIM not provisioned" error or something like that.

Can you perform a backup and then go back to stock and see if it still happens?

I odined back to stock. Same problem

Try booting with no SIM installed, do a full wipe, then put the SIM in and boot up

Okay, you may have a hardware issue... at least you are back to stock now.

Galaxy S4 i9505 GPS issue - Help

Hello Experts,
It's been ard two months I am struggling to get my gps work on my s4 which was working when I bought the phone and was on stock Samsung OS.
It's started when I rooted my phone. Subsequently installed CM10.1 nightly (I guess 24/7/2013-nighly). Now I am on cm10.1 rc2.
Gps status show 0/0 sats. No satellites in view
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

As you are rooted, something worth trying would be FasterFix from PlayStore. You'll see what it does.
Good luck!

Thanks for response. Yes I am rooted.
Recently I installed latest modem (mh8) as well Which didn't help either.
I tried GPS status, GPSFix, gps test etc. Those didn't help. But never used to keep the gps open for more than 5 minutes.
Will keeping it on longer help?
Thanks.

Also if someone can tell me the permissions on gps.conf file if it matters.

My GPS error was caused by a software conflict - in my case, Yahoo Weather. It stopped the GPS from getting proper signal or lock, but when I uninstalled the app it returned to normal. The latest version of Yahoo Weather has fixed the issue.
Think about any apps you may have installed at the time of rooting. Rooting itself should not cause this issue.
You could try taking a full backup, reset the device and see if GPS works again with no user apps installed. If it does it sounds like a software conflict, if it does not then it is a firmware/hardware problem.

Yeah read that thread which talks about yahoo weather. I don't have it. Infact I did wipe few times to install new nightly. And checked gas just by installing Google maps, which didn't help.
Could it be a hardware issue? How can we confirm? My gps status show 0/0 sats in view.

Did you disable some autostart apps? I had the same behavior. In my case, I think it was a Google service.

If all else fails, unroot, flash the Original FW via Odin.

Noted. Will try and update, little tied up with some other things.

To see if is hardware you need clean install
1. Download odin 3.07 ( you have option NAND ERAS ALL )
2. Download MH8 ( If you are with knox ), / MF8 ( NON KNOX BOOT )
3. Download PIT
4. Odin - check NAND, PIT file, PDA AND START
5. After flash your phone wont boot ( stuck at samsung Logo )
6. Boot in recovery ( volume up )( original recovery )
7. Factory reset + format cache.
8. Will reboot automatically the phone
9. Install GPS TEST. And let it search for maxim 5 min. ( will be cold start )
Come back with result
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Wow, thanks.
Few questions though
1. If I select NAND ERASE All, will erase everything what I see in internal memory?
2. What is knox boot?
Thanks again.

When you are entering in download mode and you have 2 lines there where is writen Knox kernel lock 0x0 and knox warranty void that means that you have secure bootloader ( you can flash only MH group or GG ). If you dont have I recommend to flash MF8 Or BGMA.
And yes NAND eras all ... is deleting all from internall memory

Hello there,
I did as you mentioned above. Unfortunately it didn't help. Is there something bad with my GPS hardware? I remember it was working when I was on stock ROM when I bought the phone.
I saw a post for GS3 which states tightening the screws to fix gps issue. Can we do something similar for GS4?

Can't enable Nfc

Hey.
Yesterday i flashed a new rom on my n9005, and after that i can't enable my nfc. I have also tried to turn it on with secure settings but i just says that there was an error.
So I tried to restore my rom, but nfc still not working. Also tried to recover with kies, and to flash stock rom but no luck. Also tried to copy the nfcnsi.apk from another Note 3, but didn't work.
So does someone know what else i can try ?
Thanks..

I initially had this problem after rooting but changing the CSC code to reflect the carrier ROM I installed fixed the issue.
Enter your CSC menu: *#272*[IMEI #]#
Hope this helps!

I have tried to search google , but i cant find a way to change csc. The method you suggest dosn't work, i have also tried to download the csc changer from google play, but didn't work ??

Unrecognized icon.

So, I just bought this phone and the version is 4.3. But it has some weird icons, like, they doesn't belong to this version. What is wrong with this phone? Can I change it back to normal?
The icons that "aren't supposed to be like that" are the phone and messaging ones.
P.S. I just realized that I posted this in the wrong section.

I will assume you have bought a used set. Possibly the previous owner has flashed a custom rom on it.
Maybe you can try download the official rom for your region and flash it with Odin and see if everything goes back to normal.
If you are not sure how to do the flashing, just Google for the instructions.

I also thought it might be a custom rom. And yes, it's an used set, kind of, but the person said it was never used.

You just have MCIC icon visible as previous user set it up for you, using the Jedi powers (because you have to trust him that he did not used the phone at all)

Knox is not installed if that's what you mean.
I think you can say if this phone has a custom rom in the "about device" section, right?
See image attached.

But one question... I don't really know what have they done to this device, is it really safe to do the flash? I remember that I bought a couple of years ago an used phone that I don't remember the model name, and they told me that the phone was rooted, I checked the phone and it didn't have any visible sign of being rooted and I also downloaded an app and indeed the phone wasn't rooted, so I proceed to update the phone, and bam! Motherboard died.
I want to be sure that is really safe so I can proceed to flash it.

I think there is nothing wrong, but try this:
go to System Settings>More
About Device>Status and scroll down
Does it say:

Official
?

Yep, it does say official.
