Note 2 not recognizing sim card - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Recently my note has been acting up and would not recognize my sim card. I still get bars but not data icon, although I get no service. It does keep saying searching on the status bar but no luck. I tried searching manually but it replied by saying unrecognized network. Called tmobile support and they said it was either the phone or the sim. I still need to check the sim but if it is the phone, anyone know a solution?
Thank You

" Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network "

Hi there,
I'm on vaca for one month in Africa and I am trying to use my sim card but I have this message :" Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network "
I tried two different sim cards but I still have the same issue.
Note that the phone was working perfectly yesterday with my Tmobile Sim Card.
It's an international One X so I don't think that I need to unlock it.
Do you guys have any solutions?
Thank you
it sounds like something tmobile end has changed on your account, if possible i'd call them to see if they can help get it working again
other thing to check is the roaming settings, check its enabled etc
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not using that Tmobile sim card anymore. But an Orange one.
Should I factory reset it and see if it'll work?
Thanks
i had this happen on mine, ive got tmobile sim, it went to tmobile orange signal, i tried to manually switch it back to tmobile (better signal coverage) and it said the same thing.
A reboot didnt fix it so i went into settings, storage, make more storage and then cleared all temporary data for all apps.
this seems to temp fix the issue and allows me to reconnect to my peferred network it still happens every now and then so it could be a software gitch with the hox
Just tried it. Didn't work
I will restore it and see how it goes
Even with the New Rom, Superwipe I still have the same issue ?

Can't use foreign SIM card?

I'm currently in Taiwan for about a week, and am trying to use my T-mobile SGSII with a Taiwanese SIM card. I got my phone unlocked before I left, and I'm not getting any errors with the SIM card. However it looks like it's not working. I'm not seeing any network signal. If I try to search for a network it says "Error while searching for networks". If I try to select a network automatically, it says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network."
Anything I'm missing?
Thanks!

Sim my be bad.... Check ur apn settings...make sure they r from the sim.
I went to el salvador and this girl kept dialing some numbers on keypad and #*# n they finally got it to work...if no luck take it to tech office
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Well I eventually gave up on getting the Taiwanese SIM card working, but now I'm back in the states and my phone can't seem to recognize my original T-mobile SIM card anymore. I can't get any sort of network connection, and I get the same error messages when trying to change the network settings. Wifi is working fine.
The SIM card is fine, because I popped it into an old unlocked dumb phone I had, and was able to make calls with it... any ideas?
Thanks!
So it looks like my phone is stuck in flight mode, although Wifi works. When I goto Settings > About Phone > Status, the Service state says "Radio off"...

GSM service stopped working ('No service'), even though SIM loaded

Hey guys,
I've got a problem.
My s4 mini stopped loading cell signal from GSM network service. The SIM is loaded, as I can see it even in some programmes like Network Info. It even shows the name of the operator.
Even though the SIM card is loaded (it does NOT show "no sim card" error), I cannot get any service. Used 2 different network service providers, but still nothing. I changed GSM antenas and also SIM+SDcard slots on the motherboard, but still nothing.
What can the cause be, any idea?
Thanks.

No signal/Unknown Network

Hey Guys
Got a Nexus 5X I need to fix for someone and I'm a bit stuck. Supposedly it happened out of the blue for the user without anything like being dropped etc. The phone when a SIM card in inserted never registers onto the network, it gets the empty outline signal symbol without any bars and shows "No Signal"/"Emergency calls only"
The SIM gets detected when I unplug/replug it in. I have tried multiple working SIMs as well without luck. The phone also does show the IMEI number and also the Baseband version so I don't think it's a problem with the radio software wise.
What I have tried is the following;
Flashed STOCK ROM over itself.
Flashed CUSTOM ROM on the phone
Flashed only the radio img over itself
Reflowed the board thinking the SoC might be at fault
What I don't know is at this point is it a software issue or hardware issue? There should be nothing stopping it from getting a signal as the phone isn't showing no baseband or no IMEI number. It just stats unknown network and not registered for network when you go into the About > SIM status
Anyone know a way of sorting this out? :fingers-crossed:
I also have the same problem. My 5X can detect the sim card but doesn't show any network. Hope someone can give a solution to this problem.
I am having a very similar (or identical problem). My phone detects the SIM card but shows the 'service state' as "Out of Service" and the 'mobile network state' as "Disconnected" Under the network settings it appears that the phone recognizes my mobile carrier and has the correct APN settings best I can tell. In my case I think its likely that I screwed something up when wiping the phone and installing a custom ROM. I think I may have somehow screwed up the EFS partition. I dont know for sure, but ive read that this can be the source of mobile connectivity issues.

Sprint SM-G965U(flashed with SM-G965U1) NOT REGISTERING ON VERIZON'S NETWORK.

So I have the Galaxy S9 plus, sprint edition. I flashed it with the U1 firmware. Then paid to have it network unlocked. It was reading every SIM card, but sprint & boost (bcuz to get are n not compatible with the unlocked SO/S9+.
So, I decided to switch to either Verizon or AT&T. Verizon won it due to the year long Subscription. Anyway before I went to Verizon. Every SIM card I placed in the card worked no problem. Well, Verizon activated the phone told me the steps to do. I powered off the device. Like I was told & placed the new sim card in.
When I booted up my device it, rebooted with the "New Network provider Sim inserted" & did so. It came on with service. Then rebooted again & came back on with service... Yet again. Then out of nowhere it rebooted, but this time it came on with it any signal bars. Saying, the folowing messages "Searching For Service", "No Network Connection" and "Emergency Calls Only".
I have did all the trouble shooting that I have came across. Including using the Chimera Tool to try & fix the network connection. But it repeatedly failed. I took it to UbreakIFix & they said the phone's fine. That it has to be Verizon's side with the problem. Can anyone help me fix this issue.
I have placed other Sim cards into the device & they work but not one Verizon Sim will.
