Hi Guys,
I will try and keep this as short as possible. I am on contract and have had my numbers for years.
Anyone who can help me will be rewarded.
I had my S6 Edge stolen. Within 30 mins I went to Vodafone (UK) and got a new sim card - cancelling the one in the S6.
The next day I phoned Vodafone to get the IMEI blocked.
I have an S4 I9505 from before my upgrade (Stock 5.0.1, stock Kernel, UK) Now it gets weird...
My sim card will not work in the phone.
My sim card works in any other phone.
Any sim card works in my phone.
MY SIM WILL NOT WORK IN MY PHONE!
I am no tech newbie, I changed the sim tray a couple of times first thinking it was that. Vodafone gave me 3 different sim cards - nothing.
I was in the Vodafone store for 2 hours last night trying to fix it, there are no bars on my account and the phone isn't blocked or barred. The phone is in good condition.
Tried factory reset and format.
If anyone can help me resolve this issue I will be sincerely grateful. If I cannot fix this great phone - I will be forced to buy a new 4G handset.
I currently have my sim in an old iPhone and am using the S4 for everything else, so I am ready to try anything.
Thanks guys in advance.

I prefer you to flash aosp rom like cynogenmod or note 5 port ^_^ . It might help your sim card to get work again. Remember to do backup first and install custom recovery . Warning : Your phone need to be root first . If your phone already rooted then you just do a backup and flash aosp rom
Did you try a factory reset from recovery mode? Reflash a stock ROM? IMEI is properly displayed from the dialler menu (*#06#)?

I got to say, your panic is not going to help. First I want you to take a deep breath, and relax. Now, in order for us to help you. We need to have more information. More specifically, the following: Do you have roo. boot loader unlocked? What carrier are you using? What ROM and kernel you're using? Is your sim good? Are you using a micro sim? What radioband you're using? Is your sim card adapter slot damaged? Is your imei bad? Now you need to put this in a detailed explanation with what you have done with your device up until the point in where your phone stopped working.
stock room,one week old device, no root or nothing similar,the phone doesn't show imei number just blank window (*#06#)

If it's stock and all you did was do an OTA upgrade to 4.2.2 have you tried talking to your carrier? Being only a week old I would use their assistance to your advantage especially if you did not unlock/root the device. (not sure how you came across the sim card, if it was sold with the phone like it was with mine at T-Mobile, or if you just got the phone and then used a sim from the carrier).
but t mobile will send nexus to repair's for a month so do not want to be w/o my phone for so long.I'd like to solve it home...
Hey all, just a few days ago my rooted Galaxy S4 SGH-i337m running KitKat 4.4.2 NE1 with Fido Canada suddenly said "Emergency Calls Only".
I rebooted it and it says :"your sim card does not allow a connection to this network". It has been working great for months until now. I have removed battery, sim card reset to factory, wiped cache and reloaded again. My sim card works fine in my Motorola RAZR, no problems whatsoever.
This is what I used with Odin:I337MVLUFNE1_I337MOYAFNE2_FMC. Still same issue. WiFi and everything else works just fine. APN is all fine also.
My S4 is not unlocked, just rooted ( but now it isnt after factory image reset.
Dunno what to do. I have even put a new Sim Card in but to no avail and it works also with my Motorola RAZR.
Any ideas??? Knox has been tripped so if I have to send it away, wonder how much it will cost?
Thanks
Kind of figured out that the NV/RUIM:SIM was messed up because my phone was picking up all the networks so it had to be something fairly simple. SO I downloaded Rogers KitKat from Firmware site ( so I thought ) and flashed it thru Odin 3.07. After it had finished and I had wiped my phone with Philz to load a new ROM I was shocked that it was Version 4.2.2!!!!
Now my connection is back, and the menu for unlocking the phone was all there so I did that while I was at it. Don't have another carriers Sim card to test it out but I followed instructions to a Tee and I am assuming that it worked.
Just have the WiFi/sound problems to deal with. I am ****ting car sized bricks as I thought you couldn't downgrade like that!!! I hope I can upgrade again as I had no problems with the 4.4.2.
Will search the Forums some more but in case anyone has the answer, please let me know as I am at work so time is limited.
Can I now load 4.4.2 Stock Fido Formware back onto my phone or will it totally screw up??? Knox was already tripped so I have nothing to lose
Hi there I was on lollipop then I bought a 32gb SD card moved some apps to sd my phone wasnt rooted I done it from settings. It came up as no sim error and I had to restart it kept coming up every 3hrs. So I decided to Odin flash 4.4.2 still No sim. I get reception but it says emergency calls only.
I went to Safe Mode still dont work.
Used sim on another device works.
Put sim on S4 doesnt work.
PLEASE HELP I dont have warantee too.
Is there a way if I could maybe root it then hide message and still call and use data. I dont know just help me fix it guys
Hi, I hope there s a hope..)
I got a s4 and the moment I put in the sim card I noticed that it took max 5 min to get the network working. I thought it s not a big deal. Then the wifi was not working with stock and I rooted the phone and started playing with different ROMs. Every time I did a reboot it would take up to 5 min to get the signal, doesn't matter what ROM. 2 days I did a reboot(not the first one on cm12 with alucard kernel) and the phone couldn't get the signal, not after 5 min, not after 3 h. I put the sim in other phones and it worked, I put other sims in my s4 and it worked. When I put my sim in my phone after it had been in another phone it connects right from the start but after 2 min the signal disappears. I changed ROMs, flashed the same ROM, and cm13 and again and no luck. Now the sim is on Huawei p1 and when I get the notification tray down on the bottom it is written 25905 instead for the name of the mobile operator, which is strange. Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you!
Have you considered getting your SIM card replaced?
The carrier should do it for free.
I replaced it before buying the s4. And it also works on other phones.
OP, did U try to flash another MODEM for Ur device? Not some custom ROM, but MODEM? A have some signal troubles, but reflashing MODEM (lastest version for KK) via ODIN fix the problem.
U can find MODEMs and BLs here.
This thread should be in the Q and A section...
I just did and it doesn't work. I went today to their office and got a new sim and it didn't work either. Tried another sim from the same company and it didn't work either. I have no idea what's wrong...((
hi guys.
My gf has an s4. Her sim card got demagnetized and we went to the service provider to change it to a new one. Now we have a problem. The new sim card (nano) doesn`t work in her phone but works on my phone.... we thought that the phone was the problem were the sim slot got ****ed or smt but no. I`ve inserted my sim card (nano as well) into her phone and it works.......
I tried all bunch of tricks and ****s but nothing..... going into all sorts of settings but still nothing..
I went to the providers and they didn`t know what to do.
So maybe there will be someone with the same thing that happend to us and give an answer.
Please help.
Thanks.
