Can anyone help? SIM not recognised - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After unrooting my gt i9500 with stock rom 4.4.2 my sim is not recognised. (Insert SIM) is displayed. I rebooted several times but it is not fixed. can someone help...please???

can you check if you have imei and basseband by going : Settings, About Phone?
if you have baseband and imei then your sim card reader is broken, if you dont have those then you did not flashed correct files for your phone.

IMEI is null and baseband is unknown...can you help me further???

you need to flash the stock firmware from kies or you need the correct modem to flash via odin. search on xda for it.

Flash with odin the firmware that your phone came with.
The stock Samsung firmware can be found here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N9005/
March the last 4 characters of the csc and pda to the firmware. Download it, unzip it to get a tar.md5 file, flash the tar.md5 file in the PDA/AP box of Odin. I prefer Odin 3.07 for flashing back to stock.
Tried all those but no luck...
I coudnt register with the network after searching and selecting the network...
It says unable to connect try later... veryfew times it registered with very few sim cards yet no dialling tone etc.. finally comes again to the registration problem state.... any helps?
Wrong IMEI and wrong serial is that correct .
Have you restored your original backed up EFS folder ??

No network/No service/No signal... GT-I9500

Hello guys
my problem started when I tried to upgrade from 4.4.2 (KitKat) to 5.0.1 (lollipop), I tried first to upgrade using Kies but I just didn't work it recognized my phone and downloaded the firmware but couldn't install, so I went to the other option "odin" I flashed the firmware for my region for my phone yet when it turned on I had a very week signal.
when I tried going back to kitkat I had no service at all and lost my IMEI and baseband, then I tried different regions of lollipop and kitkat, but still nothing, and I thought I lost my IMEI and that I need to write it manually using this box (I don't remember its name) until yesterday when I flashed a Turkish kitkat which restored my IMEI and baseband but still no service, then I backed up my efs folder and went on trying every modem in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
I tried everyone of them some gave me "no service" others "emergency calls only" and a third group didn't even recognize the sim card however all of them changed my IMEI to either NULL or the fake IMEI.
now I tried to restore my esf folder but it didn't work, so I thought to re-flash the Turkish firmware (which retrieved my IMEI and serial) but also didn't work and now I still have a fake IMEI which is weird because it worked before.
I tried every method every solution and nothing worked
I even contacted Samsung who told me that it cannot be fixed in Europe cause it is an international model and has to be fixed from where it was bought (Jordan)
and now um feeling really hopeless
please help

[help] galaxy s4 carrier locked after odin flash

i am using galaxy s4 for a year
it was not locked to any carrier
i updated to lollipop and didnt like it and then i flashed kitkat over lollipop
then i faced invalid imei issue
after many searches on google i found the solution of flashing rom and modem files will solve the issue
so i flashed few stock roms and few modems
now i got back my imei, my baseband version is correct
but when i check service mode *#0011#
it shows IMEI CERTI - FAIL
and it asks for sim unlock after every restart and cannot register to network
i guess that when i flashed few roms, one of those roms might be a carrier specific rom.
now how can i get rid of that, coz no carrier will give me unlock code because it was never locked to any carrier
Check the SIM unlocking thread in the General forum for added details, but in short, downgrade the modem to an Android 4.2.2 version using Odin, install RegionLock Away on the device, and run it. That will blow away the SIM lock so you can use your S4 again. Afterward, restore the existing modem.

I think you have flashed wrong version of firmware. Try flashing different version.
when i flash it with kies it freeze at optimization of apps 5/24
it tells that my original firmware should be Spain PHE
what if i put a Spain PHE 4.4.4 firmware ?

Lost IMEI and baseband after flashing wrong stock firmware.

I have a Colombian S8 (SM-G950F), it was in 8.0 and it wouldn´t update so I tried flashing the new update. I didn't check the CSC, and flashed the wrong one. Now it doesn't read my sim card, and in the settings tab, the IMEI code says "unknown", it doesn't appear with the dialing code either. How can I fix this?
