Samsung ATIV S can't detect any sim - Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking

HI guys,
I bought an ATIV S in Malaysia running on stock rom and not bound to any carrier. Changed the CSC to ATO and updated to GDR3. Used the phone for few days and then sent it to my brother in another country with a different time zone. When he tired to put his sim the phone can't detect it.....sim card missing. He tried multiple sims but all not detected.
I am confused as what could be the reason since it was working fine in Malaysia. What shall i do ?

First of all, this is the Developement & Hacking section. This question belongs to the Q & A forum, where it will be answered. Please only post relevant threds in Developement & Hacking.
To answer your question:
Has he tried a hardreset? Maybe this is a bug related to the change of the CSC.
Are you sure that the phone was not damaged in any way while sending it to your brother? Let him take a look at the SIM-tray and see if a pin is missing, broken or whatever. This happened to a friend's phone just recently.
If nothing works, try to flash another ROM. If this doesn't fix your issue, it is most probably a hardware defect.

Sorry for posting in wrong section, guess i was in a hurry n didnt realize dat. Btw d problem has been identified n it turns out dat d sims from local carriers r different n d chip does not really come in contact with d pins due to different dimensions. In pic top 1 doesnt work while bottom one works.

Signs of Youtube Getting Unblocked or Something Else on my S4??

I am in need of some help guys. First of all , Youtube is blocked in my country, Pakistan atm.
Secondly, I havent ever rooted my S4 I9500 ever and have always been on stock since day one. The firmware i am using is XXUBM9 which i flashed a few days ago. Everything went fine but now whenever i connect to my wifi some notification pops up which again tells me to connect to my wifi , which i am already connected to (screenshot 1). And when i click on it, it directs me to a page (screenshot 2) , or i should say an IP (which changes a little bit) or other IP like 173.194.35.99 , which is also blocked on my ISP . The location of that IP leads to Google Inc in USA.
When i kept pressing that Notification, ClickED on APP info, then it shows me that it is generated from ANDROID SYSTEM.[
I have flashed the firmware 3,4 times already which was released for my country PAK few days ago. But nothing is helping. Rest of device works fine. So any help i can get or advice?

[Q] Need some information about I9502 (Samsung galaxy S4 Dual)

I had purchased an I9502 through olx.in, last week.
Second hand.
Due to rare users, there is no dedicated thread on XDA for my device
Now, many questions arises.
I had updated to official lollipop (5.0.1), by SAMMOBILE's official ROM. After upgrading, my second SIM cant connect to network. So I revert back it to KK (4.4.2). Still the problem persists !!!!! . I couldn't use it as a dual sim phone Is PDA and CSC version is important while flashing? or we could install any PDA/CSC rom version on samsung phones? I don't know the original ROM so, I had downloaded all firmwares available at sammobile and tested. only 2 of them managed to register my SIM(first) on network. Is it a hardware issue? or by a wrong ROM ? anyway now my mobile admitted at hospital and specialized doctors have been studying his disease
Is there anyone using dual SIM without any errors?
The PDA and CSC are vital to ensure you get the right regional variant for your device. The only exception is if the phone is unlocked for use on another carrier, in which case you can use a ROM from any region. Where you have the dual SIM version however, you only have one region available to you, but with multiple Android versions. The firmware here is the latest for your device. Do a factory reset before flashing through Odin.
I am totally disappointed.
My technician said that it had lost IMEI !

What will I do?
Is there anyway to recover its IMEI?
I had followed all guidelines available through search.
But, I couldn't...
Please help me on this....
Flash just the modem through Odin. You can extract it from the firmware download. Sometimes the modem needs to be flashed twice before everything functions correctly.
Other than that, I'm not aware of anything else software-wise that can be done. You'll need to take the phone to Samsung themselves and have them look at it.

Help me figure this out

Hey I just bought my galaxy note 4 from my country's carrier yesterday and it started with lollipop right out of the box and it had some issues like old galaxy apps which wouldnt update so I did factory reset and solved that out. I find it not normal that it wasn't running kitkat. And I also noticed that my basedband version differs from my build number. What does this mean exactly? Also there is a section at the bottom of my about device which says configuration version not available. Please good ppl help me out to figure this out. And just to repeat, the device is bought from the official carrier's store. I'm applying screen shots .

Hi man just do a firmware reset, go to sammobile.com, dowload your latest firmware, download also the .pit file associated to your model, flash with odin, add to that one or two factory reset then you're done !! :good:

Dual sim slots but only one activated/readable ?

Goodday folks, i happened to stumble upon something on multiple occasions while opening my Moto G4 2gb/16gb Amazon variant for swapping boards or internal components. While observing the motherboard, i recognized down by the sim card area there are two sim slots. Upon curiosity, I tried putting the sim in the second slot with no luck, it won't read ! I've tried on stock nougat ROM and even on my favourite ROM Arrow OS pie. the sims just won't read in the other slot which is BTW hidden behind the screwed on back cover. Does anyone have any ideas if there is some software exploit or method to get both sim slots to work ?? .

We had this discussion/observation 2018/2017 you'll find it for sure.
Since there, I can't remember that someone get this managed. You'll need a low level software or a hardware change maybe. But it's not possible by fastboot rom as we know(you'll brick it if you flash wrong firmware).

S7E 935v board swap with 935U?

I loaned my friend my old s7 edge and she said she got a blue screen of death. She went to a samsung repair spot in Best Buy that was authorized. She dropped it off and the tech called saying the logic board went bad. So I just ripped out the board in my S7E to replace it but before buying a 935v I was hoping i could buy a 935U board since its unlocked. Just wondering if anyone has done or confirmed this would work. I used to do this all the time with LG devices but not sure on this device. Thanks.
The reason I ripped out the board is because the phone would not power on, go into safe mode, recovery, bootloader, nothing. All I could get was my surface to recognize the SD chipset as MSM8996 when plugged in.

Well I guess it doesn't matter because I can't even find a 935u board only the 935v.
Funny thing is that the board in the pic is from an AT&T model, SM-G935A. Probably it was flashed with U firmware at some point... and bootlooped. The "A" bootloader has a higher number than the "U" or "V" and it cannot be flashed over.

I thought the same thing also. But underneath that it says /v/ and other letters. Seems to be the same board for most carriers. This was original from Verizon.
It is possible, but there's no U there.
I have flashed my V with U firmware and it worked fine, even got the U official updates after that. So it might be indeed the same board with different firmware on.
When I change the SIM, the phone re-flashes automatically a different radio modem, with a different CSC code.
