[Q] Sim error Note 3 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello mates, first excuse my English, I'm Spanish.
I got an error with my note 3 and as they do.
The phone worked perfectly with my old SIM, coverage problems 4g I was recommended to make a duplicate, and that could be error SIM that was ancient (tapeworm from Note 1) I made a duplicate card, and from that We do not recognize my SIM, and this works correctly in other mobile. I can not call or do anything with this, when I remain canceled the duplicate.
The original card (before duplicating) recognizes it, asks me the pin, but the new card, and other SIM from other companies do not recognize me. I've been testing, and if you ask me old PIN cards (before 4g) so I discard the reader and possible failure. I did wipes, I returned to put the original stock Samsung rom, I have set an unofficial, I have restored the factory, and the cell remains the same. Comment that the phone is bought from someone else, and not to what extent can be blocked by theft or by default. When I look out the IMEI usual, so I have not lost. In short, do not recognize any of the new SIM, including mine, and I am now without mobile since 4 days ago, and no one in any Spanish forum, or shops, or my company has been able to give me an explanation.
You have any idea?
Thank you very much to all!

Phone doesn't find network

Hello to everyone !
Ok, first of all I want to say that for years I've been reading this forum and it helped me a lot in the past, but now I have a problem I can't resolve by myself.
I have A HTC Magician PM10A that was bought many years ago in Israel from an official dealer. It worked fine back in Israel.
Now I live in Italy and the phone just doesn't find the network. Not manually, (searching and giving me an empty list), not automatically.
I tried everything. I'll write it down.
Putting back the Israeli SIM card.
Unlocking (turned out to be unlocked).
Flashing with Ctulla WM6.1 Rom (WOW!)
Flashing Radio Stacks from 1.0 to 1.13.
Flashing with Some Italian ROM (downloaded from this site).
NOTHING !
Just gives me network error, unable to register on selected network.....
But there is no network ! Just an empty list !
I wanted to install the original ROM that came with the PDA, but I don't have it.
Thank you very much !
I have the same Problem but no solution.
Well, I have sad news my friend. It's the phone module that is dead. I found another XDA II mini with broken screen, changed the antenas - nothing helped. Plus I checked it in Israel again - it's dead. Well, at least I have a really nice pda
f*** this device was awesome all the years.
Indeed it was a great device. But I checked it at my friends lab, he says that it's possible to fix it, but we have to buy some parts on ebay (i didn't really followed), and only than it might work.
It did it's job and did well. R.I.P.
btw, I am a med student, so it uses me great as a pda to all the books and other staff.
i have the same problem.
What kind of part we should change?
i just changed antena and battery with new ones, but no result
Things you should try to fix this:
Hard Resetting
Cleaning your SIM card.
Pushing the little gold connectors on the SIM slot a little bit up with a screwdriver.
Reflashing ROM.
And the last one, which fixed mine problem:
Another sim. When i tried my sim in other phones, they refused to boot, so i just tried another sim, brand new one - it worked! So ive gone to my operator to replace my SIM.
I had the same problem and accidentally fixed it.
Coulnd't get any signal after upgrading it to WinMo 6.1 ROM. I flashed it back to its original WinMo 2003 SE ROM but still couldn't received any signal.
I took SIM card out and put it in different phone (Nokia in my case). Got SIM card error massage on Nokia screen. Took it out again and cleaned it, reinserted back and it worked on Nokia. Then I was curious and tried put the SIM card back in magician. Signal was magically reappear and phone worked back to normal.
Hope this may work for you too.

[HELP] galaxy note 10.1 is relocked!

My brother bought for me a Galaxy note 10.1 from Globe carrier when he was being in Phillipine, and it was unlocked. This tablet still worked well until I take its sim card out, and use it for my 3G USB. This USB seemed to be broken down, so that my computer was frozen every time I plug it in. I put my sim back into galaxy note 10.1, and a problem occurred. My Note 10.1 cannot register on network even I see a full signal bar; meanwhile, a notification showed that "the selected network is unavailable". When I try to make a call, it's appeared to be "Not registered on network". At first, I think this problem can simply solved by changing the sim card, but the real tragedy is that this problem continue occur regardless how many sims I buy from many different network providers. Those sims still work on other devices, hence this error certainly is from my tablet. Its firmware is stock 4.1.1 and rooted, I have tried to solve this error by reset factory, unroot, change to another rom, but they're all useless.
When I visited Samsung service center, they told me that my note was relocked. Would anyone mind showing me how to unlock it again:laugh:
Sorry for my bad English! Thank you one million time:highfive:
May be you should flash some other rom which is not region locked like German, again very few users have a locked note so doubt you will get an answer over here
A suggestion try note 2 or S3 forum they are built similarly see if you can find a post on how to unlock it I am pretty sure it will work on this to (Warning dont flash S3 or Note 2 rom )

one Samsung Galaxy S4 EE sim says 'invalid sim other OK

I have 2 Galaxy S4 i9505 phones.
Phone 1. Bought as used phone on Ebay and was previously locked to the 'Three' network, I had it unlocked by 'Three'. This phone has always, and still does work without problem with my EE 4G (pay monthly) sim. The only remarkable thing about this phone is that it failed/froze/bricked whilst installing the Lollipop upgrade. It was repaired - new boards - under warranty in April 2015.
Phone 2 was also bought as used on Ebay. This phone had been used on O2 network. I discovered that it had never been locked to any network. I bought a pay monthly 30 day rolling contract thinking that it had been locked to O2. When I put my EE 4G sim in I got the message 'no sim, insert sim'. Baffled. The only thing I thought could be the problem was the sim itself, EE gave me a new sim. The only physical difference this sim had was that it had the Nano option. When I put this sim in phone 1 it worked perfectly, I put it into phone 2 and it worked! I needed to put the sim back into phone 1 to set it up to transfer data. When I put it back into phone 2 the message 'invalid sim' came up and that is where things stand.
As I have two phones I was hoping someone could guide me through the necessary steps to find out where the problem lies by comparing the two, and hopefully find a solution. I have read another thread from tomedwards93 posted in April 2015 and see no solution was found by him so maybe this could help him too.
Can someone please help?
I didn't understand a single of what is written,the description is long and read this thread twice,still can't a understand this thread

I've replaced the sim card slot and done a factory reset, it worked for about half an hour then the 'No sim ' message returned. It still works with a PAYG '3 network' sim, with intermittent 'sim removed restart phone' message I no longer have the O2 account.
I have another fully functioning S4. Can anyone guide me through comparing the Android settings on the 2 phones.
I've never attempted either flashing or rooting and don't understand how to go about doing this.
Just to say thanks for the suggestions, the phone has now corrupted my SD card and I've had enough, I'm defeated. I'll keep this phone as a Sonos controller and go to Lumia 950 on Win phone 10 when it arrives.:good:
Sim not detected
I have a samsung S4 i 9505 and I often receive a message "insert cart sim". After rebooting it works normally

SIM unlocked Galaxy S4 got locked again?!

So, I am very ignorant regarding cellphones, so I hope someone around here can help me out. I have a rooted Samsung S4 GT-I9500 that I bought in Guatemala from Claro company. I moved to Africa to work, so for me to be able to use my phone I bought an unlock code that worked just perfectly. My phone got sim unlocked and I was able to use it for several months until recently. One night my phone ran out of battery, so I plugged it to the charger and charged it all night [turned off]. Next morning when I turned the phone on, the phone was sim locked again and my sim card was not recognizable at all. the following message appears
"PIN to unlock SIM service provider"...when I click dismiss and scroll down the upper tab it says "Invalid SIM card...Network locked SIM card inserted".....
I tried reentering the unlocking code that I previously bought but with no success. I tried factory resetting and reentering the code, also no success. I also inserted my old Claro Guatemalan Sim Card and it is also not recognized by the phone. Does anyone have any clue or suggestions about what it could be and what I can do about it? Please make the explanations "for dummies" since as I said before, I am not that good with cellphone stuff. Thanks for your help.

Hello dollagaray,
I´m having the exact same issue. Did you find any way of solving it? I have flashed several firmwares and modems but nothing would unlock the phone again.
Thanks in advance!

I had this issue and ended up replacing the SIM card tray.

Cannot connect to mobile network: NO SIM CARD - EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY

Hi, I recently bought a new Yotaphone2 (YD206) taking advantatge of the Singles' day discounts, but I am having some trouble connecting to the mobile network.
Since I did not have a nanosim available from the beggining, I started by updating its ROM (I used the last Russian one, while keeping the Chinese radio) and then I rooted it. So far so good.
The thing is, after my microsim was cut into a nanosim (the guy at the mobile phone store did it, using one of these "staplers"), I inserted it in the tray but it is not recognized on the phone. On the screen you can read "No sim card - emergency calls only".
At first I thought it was the radio, and I even flashed it again. I also went back to the original chinese rom, with no success. I think it's not a radio problem, since I can get some statistics in the *#*#4636#*#* menu, but I am not a 100% certain. Of course, I've already tried rebooting, setting the airplane mode on and off, removing and inserting the sim again, etc. Apart from that, wifi, bluetooth and everything else work as expected.
The sim card works, because using a microsim adapter I can fit it in my Nexus 4 and it gets signal. There are three options here: either the radio is not properly configured/flashed, the phone is faulty or the sim has been wrongly cut.
Could you help me troubleshoot the problem?
Solved!
Solved! It was the sim card, it was not properly cut. I used some sandpaper so sand one edge that was a bit rough. I didn't even have to reboot, the phone asked for my pin inmediately. I'm using the last EU rom with the chinese radio.
Yay! Happy!
I have the same issue now and my yotaphone 2 was bought in China... I've tried the sim cards from two companies, both didn't work. I doubt I received a defective product.
