No Sim card found? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

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.
Unless someone else has any ideas...

[Q] Can't install apps?

I just recently restored my phone to stock and then rooted it again, after that I installed PA 3.5 (MAY 12)
Now I am trying to install several apps that I have on my SD card, I get to the screen where it prompts me to install them, but I absolutely cannot press the install button. I did check the installation from unknown sources on. Has anyone else had this issue? I tried factory resetting the phone but it didn't help, I know its a common issue as I used to have it on my sii but it would get fixed by just reflashing the rom. In this case nothing seems to help.

It could be an issue with the new feature halo in the new PA builds. Try disabling it then installing the app.

I'm pretty sure the OP was looking for suggestions. Sometimes the littlest things will make difference. And before you go off on me, the post above his says "it could be" and "try" this. The OP never came back and stated this resolved his issue.

Removing demo ROM?

Hey guys.
I have got a demo unit of an s4 I9505 and it's a "live demo" unit that has a Samsung demo ROM on it that has disabled the SIM card slot. Do you know of anyway I can remove all the software and flash a ROM and have it working as a normal handset?
I tried installing a ROM via CWM after I rooted it but it said complete but didn't change anything. Also I'm CWM it doesn't have the option to flash from internal SD card, only external. Have Samsung removed some core files in this Rom maybe? I'm rooted but in superSU it also says "no binary found, this is a problem"
Any help would be great!
Thanks

Hi,
Look HERE
Is it an i9505 or an i9505x? If it has the "x", you won't be able to make phone calls even if you root it successfully.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I saw that but got stuck at the "unpack roms" bit. I never use Odin I always use CWM so I just flash zips. Can you shed any light on how to get the file I need to select in pda?
Please be kind if it's a simple solution lol

It's the x unfortunately. Why is this?

See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256252
Basically, it's a whole different unit than the i9505, and I also think I read somewhere it has different hardware too (it lacks a mobile network antenna IIRC but I'm not sure about that). Sorry, this is bad news for you I'm afraid...

[Q] [Help] A different nexus 4 bootloop problem

So I got my nexus 4 less then a week ago. Then I tried not rooting it but I just couldnt resist, and than I got into a whole lot of trouble.
Basically I tried unlocking the bootloader without loosing data, this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41291371&postcount=28
And now Im in a bootloop, my bootloader is functional and unlocked, my recovery works but when I got into "install zip from sd card" it says that sd card cant be mounted, Ive tried cwm and teamWin and both have the same problem. Ive tried everything that came to mind:
-locking bootloader (fastboot works fine)
-changing a rom via ADB sideload (witch also works fine)
-changing recovery
-factory data reset and so on.
none of this works, storage is still not accessible and Im still in a bootloop (bootloop happens on a rom boot after the google logo). So Im suspecting that its bootlooping because it cant access sd card (It can access the system data)
Any suggestions? Ive never seen this happen, I cant seem to find anybody with a similar problem. Did I just ruin my 6 day old device?
Im scared as hell and pretty much out of mind.
Try to wipe data and cache.
Also try this if the above doesn't work.

if you think that its a software bug, then you can flash a new one with kdz updater, but first try the sim card in another sim for some time and check it

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:
Device status
Official
?
PS: sorry for the big pictures... HD hehe... xd but XDA cant resize it
Yep, it does say official.
And don't worry, the bigger the better, I am kinda blind.
