(I9505)Sim detection error after use With other country Sim - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I have a sim detection error with my french Sim
I come back from Cholydays in croatia. I did use during my trip a Croatian Sim prepaid. Every thing is ok in croatia, but when i came back in france, my french sim did not been detected by S4.
I try:
free, Sosh Sim and no sim detected.
Old croatian prepaid sim is well detected and roaming network is OK
french prepaid sim ' SIMA Mobile, network is OK
I have already try last stock ROM (I9505XXUHOH2) by ODIN
I have already try CM12/13
Did you have an idea of what could be my problem ?
Thank a lot in advance

Maybe the French sim card is damaged? Did you the French sim card in another phone?

Or your SIM tray got damaged by the Croatian SIM.
Maybe it was a bit larger than your French SIM.
Try applying some pressure to it and see if it is detected.

I try the french Sim in other phone.. every thing is ok
S4 seems to be blocked only with sim like sosh, free....
Prepaid sim like vip.me (croatia), or Syma Mobile (french) is detected by phone.
I give pressure on the sim...and nothing else
I'getting Mad

Does new O2 ROM update introduce SIM locking?

I ask because my Exec was unlocked in the UK for O2 and Orange, then I updated the ROM and sold it to someone in Australia (Melbourne), who says they get an 'Invalid SIM Card' error.
Anyone who's Exec *was* unlocked, and who has installed the update, please report
Just tried an Orange sim in my Exec, I have done the ROM upgrade and the Orange sim works fine, so I can confirm that the new ROM does NOT lock the Exec
Regards
The XDA Exec is a bit finiky about SIM's
I have had problems with an older SIM card from T-Mobile USA (16k version), taken from a Motorola V300 gives Invalid SIM Message,
Yet a newer sim from T--Mobile USA from a Sidekick2, (32k Version SIM), works fine in the XDA Exec
So I think you need to tell your buyer that he needs to get a newer sim from his Cellco, Most Cell Companies will supply an updated sim for modern phones if the old sim is not supported, it will not mean any changes in number etc!
Hope that helps

Dualsim & Sim Status Switcher

Hi to the list,
This message is addressed to the italian guys maybe also someone else can give me an hand.
I ma using a qtek 9000 with a dual sima and the Sim Status Switcher program.
I use them with an Italian sim TIM 128k and an italian SIM WIND 64k.
All seem to work perfectly but i have only one strange problem:
Whe i am on Tim i can read on the Sim Status Switcher:
READY:338*******
OPERATOR: UMTS TIM (HOME)
while when i am on Wind i can read on the Sim Status Switcher :
Invalid or missing SIM
Operator: N/A.
Why this?
Anybody can tell me why when on the Wind i have this information and not as the Tim one?
I am sure that the Wind sim works perfectly because i can receive and send calls without problems.
Thanks in advance for any help that will be really appreciated.

Can not see my sim card anymore

Hi to all,
I have recently purchase a brand new diamond with my operator (SFR in France) and received a brand new sim card. Activate that sim ( and of course the previous one - older than 1 year- is not working anymore).
I inserted the new sim in my diamond and everything is working like a charm.
I wanted to test some roms on my old QTEK S200. So I insert new sim in and the QTEK did not see my sim., saying that sim is missing.
Though it was rom issue, so I flashed another rom but same message.
Insert old sim and get the sim detected.
Obviously it looks like an issue with new sim cards.
Did any of you have encounter the same issue ?
Cause actually I have a pretty new QTEK which is useless !!!!!!!!
Please help
To all,
It seems that this us due to the rom you use.
I installed another rom and then the sim is now available.
But have lost the wifi function !!!!!!

After (USPL) CID unlocked, Still need SIM Unlock?

Looking for the answer.. THanks
The answer is everywhere but ok...
yes you need.
Cheers
Thanks for ur answer But then sim unlock after update the ROM or b4 update??
Your choice...
But it's better you make USPL first just in case...
It depends on your needs if you need a SIM unlock or not.
You don't need it to flash another ROM, you just need it to use a SIM from another provider than the one you bought it with.
example: I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact III, with T-mobile SIM lock. If I want to use a SIM from Telfort, O2, KPN or another provider I have to remove the SIM lock first.
I've CID unlocked it a long time ago and flashed a dozen of different ROMs with the SIM lock still on. Just a month ago I removed the SIM lock.
