Shouldn't happen, rooting the phone should not cause this problem. I havr rooted my phone many times but it's still working fine. Which method of root did you use and for which firmware?
僕のLT18iから送られてきた

1. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe data. Shut down the phone
2. Change baseband with flashtool
3. Power on the phone
Report if it worked please

It isn't something related to rooting I think,maybe u can try out the following-
1.Check after removing sim for 15 mins and inserting it agn Properly inside.
2.If u have a stock rom backup,restore it and try.Check whether your phone is showing your IMEI number or not.Sometimes modem/radio files get wiped out.
3.Could be a hardware issue.Maybe your SIM tray is damaged - either one or more of the contact 'ribbons' is damaged.Check whether or not u can save numbers to your sim card.
4.Take it to your carrier's repair centre.

I had the same problem.
Flash the rescue package created in beginning of pimping. If that doesn't work re-install your ROM.

Full wipe along with reflashing ROM fixes it. Also check GetRIL from Store.
how is possible to reflash with fixes?
I meant that reflashing rom and full wipe fixes the problem. If it doesn't work you're doing something wrong.
what wrong really i putted before 5 mins new rom with perfom full wipe but the problem still there.
Did you try getril a couple of posts back.

sory for my bad english
Put a bit of paper between the battery and see how it gos for a few hour, if that fails then wipe your SD card and see how it is, failing that you might need a Service Centre as flashing new FW hasn't worked so might be a HW issue.
i have already do that..
wipe sd n put paper..
i try use without sd, sim card but is restart also..

[Q] Sim Card not detecting.

Recently, my brother got a new phone and its better than the S2 so he gave me the S2, I inserted my sim card after I wiped everything and flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2177052. It doesn't detect my sim but my old phone does. Is there anyway for the S2 to detect it?

Options
A. Format sd card but first save files somewhere
B. Reflash rom see if it fixes it
C. Try new rom and see if it still happens.
D. If you want the external sd storage to be the internal sd storage let me know.

Hi guys, i have been using a ROOTED galaxy note 2 for quite some time now. my phone has been running on the jellybean 4.1.1 version, i decided to manually update to jellybean 4.1.2 with odin (through laptop) all went ok and i managed to upgrade properly. The problem i am having is that once i rebooted my phone (after update) i have been getting an error saying to insert my sim card....it will not recognize there is any simcard whatsoever. Also when i put thw sim card in another phone it works fine and i am able to receive texts etc. Can anyone please offer me some help as my phone is a massive part of my job (as i work on a client basis), and do not have the time to send my phone away for 2 weeks. Any insight would be awesome im up for trying anything. Thanks again! Kes

Hi guys i have just factory reset my phone, i did this by turning the phone on holding the up volume + home + power button, the screen had a picture of the green android guy. I clicked the factory reset and the clear cache options (using the up and down volume buttons). My phone has now restarted asif it was brand new out the box, yet the sim card is still not working (and yes i took the sim out for the reset, only put it back in after i did the initial setup). Have i done something wrong?? did i not do a full reset? could someone please help as i havnt had my work phone for a few days now and its getting harder to keep track of my clients. Any suggestions would be amazing, thanks a lot!

The latest rom modifies the efs folder (where your imei is stored) so only some modems can read it. For unknown reason kies or ota updates don't modify the efs, so the new rom can't use the efs info. The solution is to flash back to an older rom other than dme4/dme6. Your sim will be recognized. I advise you to backup your esf folder and to awlays ve a copy of it

EFS folder mod only gives network error but in his case He says showing error "Insert Sim Card"
Anyway it is wise to flash an older rom or the same rom he was before on

When i click on mobile networks (through settings) it says "insert SIM card to access network services". When the sim is in properly. My phone also has a circle with a line through it at the top of the notification bar.

Thanks for the reply mate! Really sorry to ask this, but is there anyway you can do a quick step by step, as i dont know what ota or efs mean lol its very important i get this fixed asap, if its not fixed by tuesday, i will have to get it sent off. My business is done through clientele, so not having my phone has caused lots of problems the past few days, cant imagine how bad its going to be if i have to send my phone off for a week of two.

Awesome cheers mate will try this when i get back! would that mean i would not have the newest update? or could i just flash the newest rom after?
Dude first thing is check if your Imei is corrupt. Go to about device/status and if it starts with 0049, this means it's corrupt and without a backup Samsung are the only ones who can fix as they have to replace the motherboard. If it is corrupt you could try moving your efs to SD card and then rebooting and then moving it back.

[Q] No Sim Cards Detected : Xperia M Dual

I have been having trouble getting my SIM card being detected, and/or getting the phone to display the signal bars after installing a few ROMs on here. I have tried the Liquid Smooth ROM, the Revolution Remix and the Pixel ROM, and have successfully booted into them, however, none of these ROMs detect my SIM card or show any signal meters. I have tried flashing different radios as well, and still, the same result.
Is anyone else having this issue by chance? If so, could someone please let me know what I am doing wrong?
Any/all help is appreciated of course...

Didn't work....
I flashed the single sim 4.3 ROM, but when I rebooted it didnt go any further than then rainbow wave boot animation. I let it sit for 15 minutes in this state and nothing (its supposed to completely boot up until the new device setup screen wizard right?)
Not sure if it was or wasn't supposed to boot into the wizard so I pulled the battery, replaced, flashed the ROM kernel via fastboot, then entered recovery to flash the ROM. Everything went okay with the flash and the ROM booted up correctly but still, no mobile network or SIM card being detected....
