[Q] NO SIM issue after upgrade - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi guys,
I got a Samsung T989 T-Mobile yesterday with stock Gingerbread Rom, i flashed recovery cwm and rooted the phone.
I flashed a 4.1.2 rom, everything was working good except that the phone doesn't detect my sim card.
I Flashed various roms and various modems, restocked to 2.3.6 and 2.3.5 still having the same issue.
I also tryed some tested sim cards and still no sim detected.
I don't even know wich baseband came with my GB version, is there a way to find the good stock rom ?
Radio tryed :
UVLI1
UVKL1
UVKID
UVMC6
UVLDE
UVLE1
UVLI4
UVLH1
Any idea ?

Today i made an upgrade from kies to 4.1.2 UVMC6, still same probleme.
Is it a hardware probleme ?

Little up guys ! i flashed all supported firmwares on sammobile, none of them get the sim to work.

I am not sure if this will help you, but I had some phone not recognizing SIM type problems too, and the problem was if the SIM card was not in the exact right spot the phone would not recognize it. So I would try to scoot the SIM to one side of the slot or the other and that fixed it. Also if I dropped the phone it would say "SIM card removed" "restart device" and I would have to reposition the SIM card. I hope I helped someone

[Q] Desire HD "Limited service" !?!

Hi i just bought a used HTC Desire HD and when i start it it says "T Mobile"
When i insert SIM card in it (Swedish) it says ""Limited service", i put in PIN but only limited service and then i have no signal...
I have tryed 4 different SIM, 3 swedish 1 thailand. Same thing.
When i go to settings network i can search for network operaters, then all the network i can have in sweden comes but i dosent matter wich one i choose it says : Your sim card does not allow connection to this network, which is very strange because if i have TELENOR sim inside and choose TELENOT it says the same...
Please someone help me
My guess would be that your phone is branded (SimLock) You have to have a t-Mobile sim card for it to work to you ave to get rid of the lock. Plenty of info about unlocking DHD in the forums.
You might need to unlock your phone look here

downgrading and unlocking are different things even if you have downgraded the simlock stays on unless you unlock it.
yes but i use the ultimate multi tool, and did all. sim-unlock also and when check after it says sim unlock.
why is it not so i can put in code from network. it was like that with other phones wich is network locked. but this i put pin code and then limited service only.
so how do i then unlock sim ?
could it be that the lock is on your sim not the phone, try another SIM
have tryed 3 different swedish sim + 1 thai sim no working...
get the phone contacts and all from sim and pin. but no signal. finding the sim network in list but cant conect to it.... your sim does not allow connection. ?!?!
strange have you tried changing the radio and ril
and what rom are you using

i replaced the SIMCard/SDCard Module, not the sim card, i used the simcard on my 4s with no problems while the module arrived from ebay
so i take the SIM card is not the problem since it worked correctly for a couple of days on my iphone 4s.
and the SIM card is the microsim from the net10 package

GT-I8160 Not recognizing SIM card?

Hello,
firstly, sorry for possible bad threat, but I'd like to ask you for a help, because I wasn't able to find a possible solution.
I've recently obtained Galaxy Ace 2 from relative (if someone wants codename, GT-I8160). This phone had CM11 inside, but I reverted back to stock Jelly Bean to install updated CM11, installed it. This didn't solved the issue, so I reverted back to JB.
The phone itself is working good, but problem is about SIM card. Even the SIM is inserted (I have three SIM cards, tried them all), phone says SIM is not inserted.
Of course, phone has its own IMEI, as I found on phone's tag. Both IMEI from system (used *#06* or so) and from the tag are the same.
Phone has also its baseband. As it was bought in UK, I flashed BTU firmware to make match. If anyone is interested in my baseband, its I8160XXNA1.
Interestingly, phone IS connected to the network and even I can see in Status submenu "UTMS" as Mobile network type.
In points, what I did:
Got phone from friend, turned it on. CM11 flashed.
Reverted back to Jelly Bean.
Flashed CM11 as stated in dev thread, following instructions.
SIM not working, reverting back to JB.
Tried flashing Gingerbread, bootloop, reverted back to JB.
Flashed CM11 from different source, possibly updated CM11 build.
Reverted back to JB.
---------------- ON JB ------------------
Followed procedures to reset SIM, not working, some items missing.
Facts:
IMEI in phone (on stock) corresponds to tag on back side under battery.
Baseband is present.
Can dial *#193728...# to get service menu. Not possible on CM11.
--------
SIM card IS in slot (tested on another 2 SIM cards, used micro-SIM.
---------
Entered the phone, disassembled it, all checked.
Countries / Where are from the sim cards:
1st SIM: T-Mobile CZ (micro-SIM capability)
2nd SIM: O2-CZ
3rd SIM: Vodafone UK
As I mentioned before, I've searched on Google and found some possibilities, but I believe the issue could be somewhere else. If anyone wants something, let me know. Also, I've searched results, nothing related to this found.

Thanks, but this suggestion didn't worked. Flashed twice, SIM card still being reported as non-inserted.

[SOLVED][Q] IMEI and Baseband unknown. I don't have a backup.

[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.

2 simple suggestions :
1. Check your new SIM card in some other phone.
2. Can be loose connection or slightly different fit.
Good Luck !
