Hoping someone can help me figure this out.Created a new topic because it seems a bit different from the other "no sim" topic.
I have an i337 on MF3 that was rooted and unlocked using jortex's method and chainfire's region unlock.

I used it on Tmobile's network for about 16hrs without problem, then it suddenly started showing emergency calls only and asking to insert sim. I've place the tmobile sim in another phone and it worked fine, also put an unactivated AT&T sim in the S4 and it sees it. The phone is still booting up with the samsung custom screen. Any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks in advance.
Hello, I recently purchased a supposedly unlocked note 3 N900W8 variant however when I put in my rogers sim card I get the message "Network Locked Sim Card Inserted" and it prompts me to enter a code. I read through a couple of threads and have some questions.
1. Some people fixed this by buying an unlock code but I don't see why I need to do this if my phone is already unlocked? Or is my phone not really unlocked
2. I saw the tool Region Away and was debating on whether to root my phone and try it but some people said that the phone will get messed up since the canadian variant is already region unlocked?
How can I use the phone with my sim?
Thanks for the help
Before you judge me by saying how i'm posting something thats done before, it hasn't, I've searched everywhere no methods work
Please, someone help me I've been at this for 4 days now and maybe just 15 hours of sleep :crying:.
The phone I have right now is the SGH-i337m Galaxy s4 running NC1 with MDJ modem (Kitkat 4.4.2) Does not detect sim, it says "No sim available".
I'm not exactly sure if the phone is from Bell but the phone use to be running fine on my old rogers sim card until I updated to their new ShareTap Sim.
With the ShareTap Sim the phone doesn't detect my sim anymore. So I tried my Share Tap Sim in another unlocked phone (Galaxy note 3) it worked fine.
Then I tried a Virgin mobile sim card on the S4 and it detected it and worked fine also. So then I tried to unlock it by flashing it with many different methods:
1. I tried flashing a older version of Bell 4.2.2 but it bricked my phone ( I already unbricked it back to 4.4.2)
2. I tried flashing the MDJ modem but it doesn't show the hidden menu.
3. I tried flashing ATT modem to try it but that also bricked my phone.
4. I tried to use the AWS tutorial shown here
5. I tried the regionlock away tutorial here in the third method (RegionlockAway doesnt do anything to my phone)
6. I pulled the modem.bin from the TAR file from sammobile of Bell's 4.2.2. But it still doesn't show the hidden menu! It's the MDJ modem but it still doesn't work!
I'm not sure whats wrong with my phone. When I put the Virgin mobile sim card in there it only shows Telus, EXT and Virgin Sim networks available not the whole spectrum which is what is supposed to happen with the 337_aws.qcn file from the AWS tutorial. Then when I flash MDJ modem from bell or the one from this dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2m3id2cx4l...37MVLUAMDJ.zip
It still doesn't show my secret menu.
The secret menu I'm trying to access is the *#0011# but if that didn't work I also tried the *#9090# It still doesn't show the secret menu. So what do I do now? Please Help!
Thanks for reading!
Sorry to hear that, but you are in the same situation i was, the phone was probably sim-unlocked by Box Software, like Octopus or Z3X Boxes as i did, the phone won't recognize some sim cards by unknown reasons, there is no fix avaliable for this as i changed imei, tried different NVM from other phone & even replacing sim card reader. i finally sold it & got myself a i337m unlocked via code.
Edit:
forgot to mention, My SIM stopped being recognized when i upgraded it to a newer LTE version
Kind regards.
Have you tried stock NC1 with the included modem? If the device is unlocked, you might have better success with SIM recognition. In my case, my device was not unlocked, so I Odin flashed stock Telus MDJ, then rooted with CF-Auto-Root, unlocked with RegionlockAway (KNOX tripped), and applied the AWS Mod.
Then I flashed stock NC1 with the incl. modem (root gone), and managed to get Rogers LTE and Wind H+ on the Telus device. From there, I OTA updated, and rooted with CF-Auto-Root, flashed TWRP, and worked my way to 5.0.1. Trust me I know how frustrating this can be, but thanks to this forum, there was a solution. Here's what worked for me (link). Good luck.
VERIZON SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 using Canadian SIM says "This SIM card is not from Verizon"
Hi everyone, it's my first time posting..
I have a Galaxy S4 from Verizon that has been factory reset. I inserted my Freedom Mobile SIM and the setup wizard says: "this SIM card is not from Verizon wireless."
Gives three options:
Emergency Call
Turn phone off
Use WiFi
Trying to use the phone does not work.
I followed some instructions online to unlock the phone for free but upon using the dial option it says : "connection problem or invalid MMI code"
None of the codes worked even the one to obtain the IMEI. I can locate the IMEI but I just wanted to try this way to see what happens..
I had the person who gave me the phone contact Verizon for an unlock code and they said that the phone was unlocked and to call Samsung. Samsung said to call Verizon and for the last time...Verizon said it's unlocked.
Is there a way to fix this? Is my SIM card maybe the problem?
The SIM was working fine in my unlocked phone before it broke but I did have some issues before it was working and I was told to get it replaced to fix the issues but I didn't end up doing that since they were resolved on their own.
Are you sure the Verizon s4 is network unlocked and supports Freedom's aws frequencies?
Verizon said they were sure..
Hello, friendly internet ghosts!
Yesterday I've bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 (in the system it says GT-i9515)
The seller said he bricked the device at a shop to lineage 15.1 and after that, he had a no sim card error and that is the reason why he sold it.
I bought the phone thinking that if I would unbrick it back to original stock ROM (Netherlands PHN) it would work again, but NO! damn phone! Tried all different version (AP only) and .pit, ap, csc, etc. type of files with no luck.
It has been 10 hours non stop troubleshooting any way I could find, also hardware wise in order to make the sim card work but just no luck.
Any help is welcome, I've read some things about loading files in it, or rooting it or whatever but that know-how is just above my lollipop :silly:
At the moment i was able to put the phone back in an original state thanks to Samsung Smart Switch, but still the SIM card ain't working :crying:
