Samsung ATIV S can't detect any sim

HI guys,
I bought an ATIV S in Malaysia running on stock rom and not bound to any carrier. Changed the CSC to ATO and updated to GDR3. Used the phone for few days and then sent it to my brother in another country with a different time zone. When he tired to put his sim the phone can't detect it.....sim card missing. He tried multiple sims but all not detected.
I am confused as what could be the reason since it was working fine in Malaysia. What shall i do ?

First of all, this is the Developement & Hacking section. This question belongs to the Q & A forum, where it will be answered. Please only post relevant threds in Developement & Hacking.
To answer your question:
Has he tried a hardreset? Maybe this is a bug related to the change of the CSC.
Are you sure that the phone was not damaged in any way while sending it to your brother? Let him take a look at the SIM-tray and see if a pin is missing, broken or whatever. This happened to a friend's phone just recently.
If nothing works, try to flash another ROM. If this doesn't fix your issue, it is most probably a hardware defect.

Sorry for posting in wrong section, guess i was in a hurry n didnt realize dat. Btw d problem has been identified n it turns out dat d sims from local carriers r different n d chip does not really come in contact with d pins due to different dimensions. In pic top 1 doesnt work while bottom one works.

[Q] Need some information about I9502 (Samsung galaxy S4 Dual)

I had purchased an I9502 through olx.in, last week.
Second hand.
Due to rare users, there is no dedicated thread on XDA for my device
Now, many questions arises.
I had updated to official lollipop (5.0.1), by SAMMOBILE's official ROM. After upgrading, my second SIM cant connect to network. So I revert back it to KK (4.4.2). Still the problem persists !!!!! . I couldn't use it as a dual sim phone Is PDA and CSC version is important while flashing? or we could install any PDA/CSC rom version on samsung phones? I don't know the original ROM so, I had downloaded all firmwares available at sammobile and tested. only 2 of them managed to register my SIM(first) on network. Is it a hardware issue? or by a wrong ROM ? anyway now my mobile admitted at hospital and specialized doctors have been studying his disease

Is there anyone using dual SIM without any errors?

The PDA and CSC are vital to ensure you get the right regional variant for your device. The only exception is if the phone is unlocked for use on another carrier, in which case you can use a ROM from any region. Where you have the dual SIM version however, you only have one region available to you, but with multiple Android versions. The firmware here is the latest for your device. Do a factory reset before flashing through Odin.

I am totally disappointed.
My technician said that it had lost IMEI !

What will I do?

Is there anyway to recover its IMEI?
I had followed all guidelines available through search.
But, I couldn't...
Please help me on this....

Flash just the modem through Odin. You can extract it from the firmware download. Sometimes the modem needs to be flashed twice before everything functions correctly.
Other than that, I'm not aware of anything else software-wise that can be done. You'll need to take the phone to Samsung themselves and have them look at it.

I had the same situation and it worked

Help me figure this out

Hey I just bought my galaxy note 4 from my country's carrier yesterday and it started with lollipop right out of the box and it had some issues like old galaxy apps which wouldnt update so I did factory reset and solved that out. I find it not normal that it wasn't running kitkat. And I also noticed that my basedband version differs from my build number. What does this mean exactly? Also there is a section at the bottom of my about device which says configuration version not available. Please good ppl help me out to figure this out. And just to repeat, the device is bought from the official carrier's store. I'm applying screen shots .

Does the S6 Edge plus have EU Region lock?

Hello,
I want to purchase the S6 Edge Plus, and I found it on eBay Italy for a very good price, and I was wondering if the S6 Edge Plus series has the EU regional lock as in the past in other EDGE series, as I am going to use non EU sim.
I remember I bought the NOTE EDGE last year in Spain, and it had that sticker on the box "European model , this product is only compatible with EU sim".
now the EDGE PLUS seller claims that the device is SIM FREE (worldwide), but I have some doubts as I know Samsung has this region locks, can any European friends advise if their device was locked to European sim, and if the box had that sticker as well? or Samsung stopped this procedure ?
Thanks,:good:

Sprint s4 sph l720 Octos CM13 6.0.1 help.

So I have a sprint s4 onrunning octos (cm13 build) on 6.0.1. I have the OK3 already, as I came from 5.0.1 already using OK3. My question is, what modems can I flash BACK to? Better yet what firmware can I downgrade / flash ? I am having the worst time trying to get my network settings to work. The APN settings are COMPLETELY GONE. There is no way for me to edit them. And the best I'm getting of service is 2 bars of 3G MAX, when I usually get almost full bars of 4G here at my house. I struggled to even get 3g working. Can anyone help me out?
Sph l720 sprint running Octos CM13 6.0.1. MY PHONE IS ON STRAIGHT TALK. I REPEAT MY PHONE IS ON STRAIGHT TALK. THE SERVICE PROVIDER IS NO LONGER SPRINT IT IS STRAIGHT TALK.
But for some reason, when I was having the phone activated I was having trouble getting the sim to work. But they told me that was because it did not take a sim card with straight talk. Also they never told me to use the provided network access code. The phone was literally sitting there for 3 hours NOT ACTIVATED. Because they said it was in progress. I asked if it was taking so long because of the sim card not being inserted. They told me no. But for some reason as soon as I put in the sim card BAM IT WAS ACTIVATED. could anyone please help me out in some way
