I have a 16GB AT&T Galaxy S3 running on Straight Talk. I have rooted the phone and even running the stock rom I have no issues. Text data mms everything works. The issue is when I try to run a custom rom, I have tried synergy, hyperdrive as well as a few other, when it boots up it always says I have no sim installed. reboot, same thing. Wipe everything, reinstall, same thing. I am not a developer by any means, but I have been flashing roms since my first mytouch 3g back in the day. As soon as I go back to the stock rom, all is well again. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Do you put in the correct apn for straight talk?

Yes, as I said I can have the phone working perfect on the stock rom. 4g mms sms everything. Putting the same settings on the custom form and no go. Its not like im not getting signal, it litteraly doesnt detect the sim.

I have ST and an S3 with no issues. I know you said it works on stock, but your only option may be to call ST and request a new SIM. Even if the APNs were incorrect in the custom ROM, it would STILL DETECT the SIM. If it is saying NO SIM DETECTED, it is a HW issue.
Hope I Helped Out A Bit,

Works great for me. I'm a reseller & test all my phones & have had no issues using my ST SIM in any S3 (att or tmo). Strange...

I'm thinking its the sim. Its def not a kernal issue or signal problem. Its just not detected. Why it only happens on a custom rom and the stock one still works is beyond me. Going to head to Walmart and get a new sim and see what happens. Thanks again!

I was running ICS 4.0.4 stock rom on my Koodo SGH-T989D. I used Darkside super wipe and then flashed Ginerbread 2.3.5 using Odin. To my knowledge, Koodo never ran gingerbread on this model so I had to use the Telus version. But since they are both T989Ds I didn't think there would be an issue.
My issue now is after I turn on my phone, it takes about 3 minutes before it finds my network. Normally it's within seconds that it finds my Koodo network. I'm just wondering what the issue might be. Is it kernel related? I've tried flashing different radios, but that didn't work. I've done a factory reset, and flashed again using Odin. My data wasn't working as well, but I fixed that by manually entering in Koodo's data settings.
So any ideas what I can do? Or did I make a mistake trying to flash a Telus rom on a Koodo phone in the first place? Obviously I'm just learning my way around here, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is probably a stupid question, but how would I know whether it's reading my SIM?
I know after a few minutes it finally finds the Koodo signal and I have service.

It should show a sim card icon in status bar if its not reading or say no sim card on lockscreen. Otherwise it's working. 1.Try taking it out of phone and putting it back reboot see if its works after reboot. 2. If that doesn't work try another sim if you have it sometimes the cards get messed up flashing but rarely.
3. Dial *2767*3855# in the dialer for full factory format/reset. See if any of this helps you out.

It's very weird. It does recognize my SIM because when I take it out, a pop up comes up saying no sim and to reboot. I spent last night trying to get rid of the problem by flashing different roms, and seeing if there was any different. I flashed a CM10, my stock ICS 4.0.4, and the gingerbread rom. Some I flashed through ODIN, other through TWRP. After a bunch of different tries in no order, it finally got back to have service available immediately. But I went to do just a normal factory reset after I flashed the rom, and it lost service at the beginning of my boot again.
Any idea why a factory reset would affect that?
also, any idea why even after a few minutes when my service comes on, my data is still not available. I need to go to setting and enter in sp.koodo in the settings. Any ideas?
I don't have any service at all i can't register to any network i've tried going back to stock unrooting everything

Ummm... do you mean CM10.2 Alpha1? Because otherwise you're sooooo far back on CM revs it's not worth it (latest stable is 10.1.2).
Either way, make sure you're at UVMC6 baseband/radio -- non-JB radios don't work on CM10+ (JB) -- and you get what your phone is experiencing; no cellular network service (WiFi should be OK).

That's bizarre... you're not even rooted anymore, I take it? Did you do a full factory wipe after going to stock ROM (it's probably redundant, but what the hell)?
There's one other possibility -- it happened on my BlackBerry a few years ago and I got a strange error (dunno if Android gives that sort of error or where) -- basically, I had a bad SIM that still worked (it just couldn't connect, but the phone saw it as a normal SIM). I replaced it, called T-Mo and gave them the new SIM number (you can do it online nowadays) and was back up and running in minutes.
Of course, try pulling out the battery, SIM, and SD card, then put everything back in and power on...

how it worked before I flashed cm10
I decided to give Kit Kat another try a few days ago, but since then I have not been able to connect to LTE.
Prior to flashing I was running CM10.2 and my LTE was working fine. I initially lost LTE when I flashed PACMAN. I have also tried AOSB/ProBAM and Beanstalk. None of the Kit Kat roms gave me LTE so I gave up and restored CM10.2, but afterward I was still not getting any LTE connection.
I tried flashing the MD4 modem, but that didn't seem to fix anything. I've also heard that going back to stock could help, but I'd rather not have Knox if I don't have to use it. Which stock ROM here on XDA would be the best (Not planning on using the ROM. I just want LTE and then will flash back to Kit Kat)? Would a different modem fix my LTE issues? Is MK3 better than MD4, or are there any newer modems I should try?
Thanks for the help!

Any of the ROMS that have [TW] in the title should work. Full Knox only comes with flashing a tar file in ODIN, because your flashing every partition of the phone. Modified stock ROM zips do not have knox, unless otherwise noted. Make sure to do a prl and profile update when you flash to stock.

Flashed Wicked Sensations last night with the MK3 modem and I seemed to be getting LTE as soon as that booted. Updated my PRL and Profile, and then wiped. Installed AOSB again, and I seemed to be getting LTE until I rebooted. After the first reboot I seem to be stuck in 3G again.
Im currently running AOSB on 2 devices. When I first flashed them, I had the same issue until I rebooted the phone. After that I never had this issue again.

I think that's the opposite of what happened to me. My status bar said I had LTE when I first booted AOSB (this was after flashing/wiping TW). After the first reboot it connected to 3G and I haven't seen the LTE signal since.
I have updated the APNs, but I was using the same APNs for a while and had LTE on CM10.2 with them.

This is something wierd with Kitkat. I do not believe a fix has been found just yet. but if you dial *#*#info#*#* on most phones you can get into the phone systems and turn LTE back on.

There are some other options in there for networks (e.g. TD-SCDMA, CDMA auto). Would any of them help picking up Sprint LTE?
Other options include:

Turn on lte ram dump

KitKat roms are currently having data issues. You could try backing up your current KK rom and go back to Stock, update prl and backup your DNS settings then go back to your backed up KK rom and restore from the dns settings you backed up.

ohhh i had this issue but i figured it out for pacman and most roms just download nova launcher and when you do create a shortcut on nova ad click on setting an it should say apn once there u open it and youll see where it says ehprd something like that click on it and go all the way to the bottom and change where it says bearer to ehrpd and lte should work ^_^
Ok so I finally got it working, although I'm not sure what was wrong with everything in the first place. My buddy said Cyanogenmod screwed up a recent ROM, so maybe that code was in one of the ROMs I was using.
Each time I flashed back to TouchWiz (I ended up using Wicked Sensations) I could get 4G/LTE. I ran a **72786*, did a PRL & profile update. Prior to finding a working ROM, when I went back to BeanStalk/PACMAN I would lose LTE. After I found the updated BeanStalk ROM I flashed and it still had LTE! Happy days!
At this point I was able to send MMS somehow, but phone was having problems being recognized by the network. I could connect to LTE but couldn't use the data. After I updated the APNs everything started working again.

I've tried all sorts of roms, AOSP and Sense, they all stay connected to 4g for a few minutes at most after a reboot and then go back to 3g.
Everything else works fine, and my sim works good in other phones and stays on 4G.
Any idea what this could be or what is causing this?
Have you updated to the latest firmware? If your using kitkat roms, you need kitkat firmware. You can find the firmware in the second post of santods stock rom thread in development. Use the no boot.img one.

Yea I've flashed those also. Everything used to work fine until that roaming display issue. Never returned to normal for me, even tho roaming is gone.
Have you ever ruu'd back to stock and then done a factory reset from hboot? That is the only way to wipe out the network settings and force them to be updated. Worth a try i guess.

I'm not getting 4g at all on my phone. I came here to post a question and saw yours, so thought posting another thread would be pointless.
I've got NusenseSIX RC4.5 running and while the 4g icon comes on, there's no data transfer at all. I flashed the new firmware first, as instructed, and that seemed to go just fine according to the directions. But, when I swapped my sim card from my other One and waited a few minutes, even *228'ed, no data.
I got the phone already rooted and s-offed with TWRP 2.7.0.1. How do I get it back to stock to clear out the network settings? Or could it be a bad firmwware flash, so I'm screwed anyway?
EDIT: I redid everything, and just stuck with the Sense 5.5 mostly stock ROM. Data works now. Might've been firmware, might've been the ROM on my phone. Zero idea.
Is it possible to have a bad sim?
I just got a replacement device and I still cannot get 4G service for more than about 2 minutes before it switches to 3G

Sure, you can have a bad SIM, but I don't think that'd cause the drop in data transfer rate... lack of data all together, or other things not working, sure, but if you can actually catch a 4G link and then it drops to 3G, sounds more like the radios, the hardware, or just a bad coverage area. I'm no expert, though.
In case anyone was wondering, I ended up getting a new SIM and that has fixed my 4G issue. No idea what was wrong with the SIM, but anyway it sucked.
My phone has been acting weird ever since I got my power button replaced a while back. So anyway my problem is that my phone will show that it has like five bars and then just drop to zero bars/no signal. I've tried different radios, stock gingerbread and stock jellybean. I'm currently running cm11 after I came from stock jellybean. I've tried a new sim card no difference. Any suggestions is my radio going bad?
