Hi, I'v just got a Galaxy nexus and after a week with it sittin withiut a sim in the shelf (rewieving Xpera S) I put the SIM-card back in today. But it can't seem to read the simcard, I'v tried resetting, cleaning the simcard and have taken it out and tried again some times now.
The phone is running stock, and is not rooted, and it's a Unlocked GSM device.
Anyone who knows what I should do? Is there anything I could do?

Since you've tried a lot of methods of working with the current SIM, the only other idea which comes to mind would be to perform a factory reset on the galaxy nexus. Perhaps a setting became corrupt along the way. Wiping /data and /cache would be very similar to a factory reset and shouldn't take too long to test if that resolves the issue.
Otherwise, perhaps trying another SIM card in the device before resetting might help confirm if there is an issue with that specific SIM card and the Galaxy Nexus, or if there is an issue with all SIM cards.
Hope that helps add a few more ideas to test!
Galaxy Nexus can't read SIM card
I'm facing a similiar problem but I can't find a solution. Anyone may help me, please?
I bought my GN in France (GSM version) and it was unlocked to SFR, Orange and Bouygues but my carrier is Free Mobile. Trying unlock to the carrier I tried to unlock, root and download a ROM using Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit 1.3 and I probably did some mistake... Every time that I start my mobile it is asked the PIN code (not the carrier code!) but when I type the correct code it always shows the message "incorrect pin code". I've put this SIM card in another Mobile and it works, so the SIM card is not blocked...
I downloaded an oficial version from google and I used Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit 1.3 to download boot.img, recovery.img, system.img and userdata.img in order to try to "restore" the original version. The download apparently was ok, but the problem continues...
The process using the option "flash stock + Unroot" and after "OEM Lock" (in GN Root Toolkit 1.3) works but the message "incorrect pin code" continues.
Any clue to solve this? Thanks a lot for helping!

i have a question about galaxy nexus . after i rooted my GN , it does not read my sim card. (the phone is verizon lte and i have a t-mobile microsim) i checked the bootloader and the lock state is unlocked.
any ideas of what i should do now>
did you ever find out your answer? i unrooted my vzw galaxy and now it won't read a sim card.
try a normal simcard... not a microsim with an adapter
You have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, which is carrier locked to Verizon, so your T-Mobile SIM won't work on it. The Verizon Galaxy Nexus is a CDMA phone, T-Mobile is a GSM carrier, so even if you carrier unlocked the phone, it still wouldn't work. And last but certainly not least, Your bootloader may be unlocked, but that doesn't mean that the SIM is unlocked; like I said earlier, that Verizon Galaxy Nexus is carrier locked.

How were you planning on using a CDMA/LTE phone on a network that only does GSM/HSPA? Not quite compatible. Different radios.

If you open up another thread with your specific issue we might be able to help you out but I don't want to derail this thread going into details about a completely different problem.
As for OP, that SIM will not work in any CDMA Galaxy Nexus because it is not a "global" phone. It only supports Verizon Wireless SIM cards.
Hello i am having an issue with UNLOCKING my optmius 2x from fido. i just bought it and decided to unlock it, so i went out and found the most well know site i could to buy a code and made SURE everything matched up and it all did and still DOES Now my problem is as follows-
I entered the nck code first the phone quickley rebooted and i threw a new rogers sim into the phone but i got no bars and the phone told me there was not network then switched to no sim.
Then i put a bell sim card into the phone with the same response nothing.. so i went and put the rest of the codes into the phone and they all gave me network unlock request unsuccessful and same with the nck one now as well.. and i do not know if it said that it work the first time as it was just a quick flash
Now i have been geting help from people down in the optmius 2x section of the fourms they told me i should revert to stock 2.2 and i did with the SAME RESULTS! i also tryed an ics rom and i could not even get to the sim screen.
Can any one help me on this problem? i am looking to use my phone and i am not able to at this time
The phone is now rooted and runing ics
let me know how i can fix this
Thanks in advance!
So over 300 people have never seen this before anyone one know of a way to see if the phone is unlocked WITH OUT putting in a diff sim card like a terminal command or somthing? also is there another way of unlocking the phone via softweare?
also here is a video of the problem http://www.veoh.com/watch/v33213769CCkKgRTz
Not trying to sound noobish but need assistance on this Unlock Method that was posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982&page=1
Using the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747 version, the method worked however here is the dilemma.
I pre-emptively ordered an unlock code from an unlocking site. However, I stumbled across the above thread this morning and performed the procedure which worked and switched over to T-Mobile Prepaid. Given I heard T-Mobile is "re-farming" their network now, I am getting EDGE speeds. I've tried several different APN settings I've found online however it does not assist at all, when I run SpeedTest it comes up with an almost 500ping with .10mbs down and .10mbs up.
I'm looking to revert the procedure, which I went through the "common sense" method of going back in and doing the procedure to cut the "lock" back "on" however when rebooting the device still picks up the T-Mobile SIM and goes right back to their network, preventing me from accessing the Network Code Screen because I would like to go ahead and enter the unlock code I paid for just to have things done the "legit" method.
Things I've noticed on other forums about this method used. After doing so when you have no sim installed it will come up with a no sim card installed alert however I'm showing full bars even when a sim card is not installed.
One thing I have not tried was to reinstall my StraightTalk sim then performing the procedure to see if that will kick it back, will try later this evening and update this thread to show results.
Please help?
Running AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747
Rooted/Custom Rom, Model now shows it is an SGH-T999(Even though the Hardware is actually i747)
Android Version 4.1.1
BB Version i747UCLH9
Build# FreeGS3_R7.1_Resurrection
Hi, and firstly, thanks to any and all who offer their knowledge to assist my conundrum.
I recently purchased a Bell Canada version of the SG Note 2 (i317), I am on Telus so I attempted to Unlock the phone. I looked online and found people were having success unlocking these phones for free using the *#197327640# method, (whereby you go into the service mode, turn off the PERSHO_256 and then INITIALLIZ).
I tried this method and the phone then seemed to work with my telus sim, but only for voice, not data. When I put in a Bell SIM from a friend, both voice and data worked fine - which tells me its not a hardware (radio) issue. I also tried using another friends Telus SIM and had the same results as mine - which tells me it's not a SIM error. Also, all the settings in the mobile network area appeared to be correctly set up.
So, my next step was to try and reflash the phone to the stock Bell ROM and then just buy an Unlock code. I downloaded the stock ROM (2 different ones actually) and used Odin 3.07 to reload the ROM. I've tried it several times now, with both Bell ROMs and each time it says it's been successful, but the phone remains in the same, partially unlocked state.
It seems as though by using the PERSHO_256 method I have permanently, PARTIALLY unlocked the phone. I can't seem to re-lock it by installing the stock Bell ROM, and since it's unlocked, I can't get the foreign SIM error to come up to enable me to put in my purchased unlock code.
If anyone has any insights, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

did you check and/or setup the apn? it may be just the apn is not set correctly or you have to manually input hte apn
sounds like just APN needs setting...
APN?
How would I check/setup the APN? Is this to allow me to do a full reflash to a stock ROM or to access data with the phone in it's current state?
left ownsho
So I went into ACCES POINT NAMES and checked the sp.telus.net box, no change. Did a restart. No change Any ideas?
Wooooo Hooooo!!!
So, it's working now!!! I dug a little deeper and found the correct APN settings for TELUS. NOW IT F*@^&#*&@ING WORKS!
Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction!!!
[SOLVED] I put my phone in airplane mode and my IMEI/Baseband came back, cheking the service menu I went to *#2263# and saw that "LTE Preference" was enabled. I clicked on Automatic and problem fixed. Probably a ROM bug? Who knows.
Hello there. I've been a reader of the XDA forums for some time but I never had any reason to create an account to post on the forums.
A few weeks ago I got a SGH-M919 as a gift, the phone only had a few months of use and I took it with me, everything worked fine except for the fact that I couldn't get 3G/4G (Not even EDGE), I was only able to connect to the GPRS network and I couldn't change the carrier (It always gave errors like "Unable to connect. Try later" and such). Although the phone is (apparently) quadband (I don't live in the US), it just didn't work but I lived with it.
Yesterday my phone was low on battery and I turned it off, a few hours later I turned it back on and it couldn't connect to the network, I went to the network options and once I pressed the screen to enter the Mobile Network options, I got an alert saying that I must have a SIM to access those option. At first I thought that the SIM got damaged somehow (This isn't the case since it works perfectly fine in another phone) but after a few minutes looking around, I checked the IMEI and instead of the usual number, I got a null/null message. My first reaction was to google what exactly happened and the answer I received was that the Baseband (Which is also Unknown) and IMEI are stored in a folder called EFS and that it got corrupted. Sweet. I looked for solutions but the main two I got (EFS Pro and ADB nvrestore) require a backup of the EFS (Which I don't have).
The other solution I got was to restore to the stock ROM (M919UVUFNH7) which I'm currently downloading from SamMobile (Sorry if this is considered spam). The phone is not rooted and has the stock ROM, it came with a CWM folder inside the internal memory with an .img file but it doesn't have CWM intalled. I've never upgraded it (Not sure if it came with that firmware from the store if it matters).
I live pretty much in what can be considered a "3rd world country". So I cannot send it to Samsung nor I have access to dollars.
Another question is, the phone was gifted to me already unlocked, I don't know if it came unlocked from the original carrier or if it was unlocked via a code or whatever. If I restore to the stock will it lock my phone to T-Mobile again? Would I be able to use it without a SIM card if it gets locked? It's impossible for me to get a T-Mobile SIM on my hands should I ever need one. In the worst case scenario that my phone gets locked, can I get it unlocked by flashing a custom ROM?
I have so many newbie questions that are already answered in other threads, but since it's a lot of information I want to get it as specific as possible to avoid breaking my phone.
If someone can help me with this issue, I'd really appreciate it.
i having same issue in M919
Do you guys get a message in notification bar about sim car removed or something about a sim card? Also, it doesn't matter if the sim card works in another phone. This device has a little issue with being picky with sim cards. If it's a cut sim card, get an original micro sim card

Hi, thanks for answering. I don't get a message about a removed SIM card. I'm also using an original micro SIM.
I already downloaded the Stock ROM but I haven't flashed it yet.

This is a known bug of the s4. It is a hardware problem and I have yet to find a solution. If you google it you will find many threads on different forums addressing this issue. Again, no known solution
Any answer/idea about my issue? . Sometimes I can access Mobile Network Options, sometimes I can't. I can't configure the APNs (They delete themselves after I click on save). Phone Serial Number didn't get deleted (Which is stored inside the EFS folder as far as I know). I also can't select a Network Mode. I click on GSM/WCDMA/LTE but it changes automatically to nothing.

That's what I said? One solution is to change sim cards if using a cut sim card to use an original micro sim. It's worked for a friend if someone I know and also for others on XDA. It's not the solution, but works for some

I would get a new sim anyway if I could. Flashing stock firmware wouldn't hurt as well

Before trying to flash it, is there any risk of getting simlocked again? I wouldn't want to get my IMEI fixed just to realize that my phone is locked to TMB again
UPDATE 1: My IMEI and Baseband randomly got back (My IMEISV was still missing) but after I restarted, they got deleted again.
UPDATE 2: Rooted, went to EFS, didn't find nv_data.
