[Q] SIMs unreadable

Hi guys! A friend of mine got this strange and unexpected problem!
He was using the Cyanogen 7.2 stable and he screwed a little bit (don't know how really exactly) so I wiped his phone and reflashed the ROM 'cause it rocks
Before that he told me that after turned off the phone, he removed the SIM card (don't know why) and after he re-insert it and turned the phone on, the phone is no more capable to read any SIM card!
How do u suggest to proceed? I don't care what was the cause of this! I exclude a virus, at least there're free app virus-embedded in the play store!
Anyway I'd like to solve this ... what do u suggest?
Thanks in advance!

Reinstall and leave the SIM in the phone?

If you have not tried different SIM, then try to test the phone with a different SIM to see if the problem still exist. If no problem, then he needs a new SIM.

Then consider your N1 as a tablet, a very, very small tablet . Or you could send it into repair with HTC and get the motherboard changed

Do you have the chance to try the sim card in another phone - just to make sure the new sim card is working?

Ext SD card wont mount

Anyone else having problems with their cards not been recognised?
Card is good in other devices

Try formatting it in computer but it might not work for long. Already "burned" 2 cards. Not using them anymore…

What's your device?

Formatted in the pc and also in another note 2 and its recognised fine in those
Its a N9005

Does your Note3 recognize other cards ?
Maybe the problem is with Note. Hardware problem.

Yeah sounds like a hardware problem with the Note 3

My N9005 also do not recognize SD card. Problem in my case is ... one of the connectors broken. So live with it or replace of mainboard needed. I decided that 32gb be enough for me.
Check out all connectors in SD holder

If your n9005 running 4.4.2 it's firmware issue , search xda for that but you must rooted your phone , or wait
till samsung come out with firmware update which is coming and it's fix the extsdcard issue.

Check to see if you still have your imei or not... That's probably the reason, you lost your efs/imei...
If that's the case then if your made a efs backup like you should have,restore it. If not, try flashing stock.

Did you test your sim card and make sure it is ok? Try to out this sim card into another phone and make sure it works? Put another gud sim card into your Note 3 and check if the problem still persist?
Dial *#0011# and check for the RX, TX value? Can you post this screenshot here?

Samsung is really crap with customer service

Here the screenshoot

Anybody please

No Network neither
Hi everyone,
i got almost the same problem. My SM-N9005 was on the Standard TouchWiz Rom (4.3, rooted) when i updated to 4.4.2 via Kies and rooted it again.
Now my Phone shows me signal bars but tells me "Emergency calls only". I still have my IMIE.
I reflashed the stock ROM but that did not fix my problem sadly.
Hope you can help me!
UPDATE:
I reflashed the stock recovery once again and factory reset/wiped the data and now it somehow works again. Maybe that helps
UPDATE 2:
It seems like that was just working for a short moment, now after flashing the X-Note ROM (and Kernel) the "not registered in Network" message comes again though i got like 4 bars. The bars just are random somehow and jump up and down every few seconds.
Another Update:
While charging the phone (via PC or via the original Charger) i get a Message that it stopped charging because the battery temperature is too low. I Hope nothing went physically wrong?

your note 3 seems to be unlocked by SPT box or BST dongle
select wcdma/gsm or 3g/2g in mobile network and your network will connect
hope this helps:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the reply, but my I bought my note 3 unlocked and new from my carrier and havent changed anything regarding the IMIE.
I was thinking about the modem beeing broke down while i updated to kitkat, and therefore flashing a new one. Any ideas on that?

No used all these solutions nothing :s

Did you update to 4.4.2 too? Because thats when mine stopped working. Maybe its the update that destroyed somehting, for the AT&T versions they had quite some problems as i read online...

If everything else fails try to write in Odin (or better yet in Mobile Odin Pro) just the modem - and aim for an older version, something like MI6 (present in MI7 firmware) or MJ1. With Mobile Odin Pro you MUST be on stock recovery and it will work perfectly first time, with normal Odin there are some reports that you might need to write it twice or something like that - search around.

Tried that, had the same problems with the MI6, and with the MJ1 it got stock when i tried to unlock it...I was on the Xnote ROM though, Ill once again will try flashing the stock rom...

did you try another sim card ?

Sadly, the sim card works in my Note 2 without any problems... I think its sth that got physically destroyed somehow. When i plug it into the charger is says "stopped charging battery too cold"

phone sent out for repair.
Ill keep you informed on what the issue is/was.

So i've send in my phone for repair after it didnt work again (no network), they did not find anything and send it back to me. Then it all of a sudden worked for like half a week (I flashed Xnote B.15 right away ) Now i have the same error again, it suddenly stopped working again though i did not install/change anything...
I hope someone gets a solution for that, else ill say goodbye Samsung and Knox and hello Sony/HTC or w/e my next phone will be...

Thx, but sending it to the US for repair is a bit too expensive for me. Ill just try to get sth. from my insurance and then buy a different phone then.

S4 does not recognize my sim card

Hello guys,
I have a rooted S4 with Knox Flag and a custom rom which really worked well. But now i do not understand why i am getting a pop up which says that the phone can not recognize my sim card and wants to restart. First it just came some times. Now it totally does not find my sim card. I also bought a new card reader and built it in but i have the same problem.
I also tried to bring everything to Stock but this either doesn't worked.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Musti

Reflash STOCK ROM and tell me if works ok. Looks like a hardware problem anyway.

Things you can do.
-Flash stock again.
OR
Update your modem.
maybe its hardware related. go to phone repair shops if they can help you.

Hey,
so I flashed the stock rom via Odin but it is still the same problem.
What do you mean with updating the modem? Maybe I should read and try that out thanks!

Hi mate ,
The problem may be in the EFS partition , do you have an EFS back up? if not you may have to take it to a local service shop , you need a Z3X box or similar to fix it.
