Hey guys, I'm just about at my wit's end trying to figure this out.. I'm on a SGH-747M running CM 10.2 and my phone works great without a SIM inswrted, but the moment I insert my SIM the phone locks up and restarts a few seconds after startup.
I picked up the SIM (Fido) a few days ago and for the first day it worked fine (which leads me to think that the problem doesn't lie with CM) but after I turned my phone of that night, the SIM problems started.
I've taken a few steps to try and fix the problem but nothing has worked yet:
- flashed the latest modem for rogers/fido
- flashed the latest bootloader for the 747M on rogers/fido
- tried a different SIM, same problems. Tried my SIM in another phone and it works with no problems (* my phone was used before on stock by a family member with a Fido SIM with no issues!)
- tried inserting the SIM while the phone is running but the phone doesn't seem to register it or find any networks
- at this point I thought it may be an app that was conflicting with the SIM on startup so I disabled most of the apps from starting on boot
- tried using acatlog and acatref to keepnl a log but both just show a blank screen when checking the log (apparently a common problem based on reviews in the play store)
I'm one step away from pulling my hair out Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I flashed in JB AOKP was working fine all of last night. I also entered my SIM Pin or unlock code. The first time I put in an 8 digit unlock code I have. Second time it prompted me I skipped it. I'm pretty sure it was the security pin and not the network unlock. I don't have any other phone's micro SIM I can insert into my phone and a local phone store's T Mobile SIM produced no different of a result except for replacing AT&T with T-Mobile (I have not however put my microSIM into another phone...because I don't have another micro sim phone). Reboot phone this morning and it's no longer working. Tried to enable 2g. Nothing. Tried a battery pull with the phone on, pulling the SIM (same message with SIM pulled out),
Wifi works
This sucks big time ;(
Note: I am pretty sure I did not network lock the phone or anything because the SIM prompt that came up when I flashed JB did not ask me for my unlock or network code (I would have known). The first time I entered that code was 'just in case it's asking me to unlock" but why would it ask me a second time then? So I doubt it was prompting me for a network unlock code. The prompt from youtube videos was different too.
Also APN is empty, but I think that's becasue I'm not connected to any network
Pressing Available networks brings up AT&T AT&T AT&T T-Mobile T-Mobile "311660" pressing any of them you get a quick window connect "too fast" goes back to/stays in available networks screen and says "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later."
So I added the AOKP and Corresponding kernel yesterday and I mean it was working fine with 4g... apparently this thread says that you need to flash a new radio in some cases when you change kernels?

...what are you talking about. My IMEI isn't mentioned once in that post. In fact now that you mention it, since people's IMEI changed...nothing like that my phone still has its IMEI
I also did not get a "phone frozen" from entering the wrong code too many times...so I doubt its locked like that. There was a random reboot that I WOKE UP to, but nothing weird...it rebooted randomly but worked finely after that

I was proposing the theory that you may have lost your IMEI, since the symptoms you report were very similar to what I was experiencing when I lost mine, however since you still have yours, must be something else, eh?

Well, mine was definitely due to a lost imei that happened sometime when flashing.
I did get the network unlock warning thingy twice, and then had no cellular connectivity, which is why I mentioned the lost imei. I restored my nandroid back to stock, then used the method here with a little driver tapdancing to reinject my imei, and that solved my issues, but sounds like you have something else going on.

If I flash back to stock and no longer have the stock kernel, what is the steps for flashing back then?
1. flash stock kernel
2 fix partitions
3. factory rest/cache/davlik
reboot into oden and flash new image?
Long story short, Don't cut your own microsd..the sim pins on this phone are VERY sensitive and hard to fix/see. Don't bend em.
I am having the same problems right now, I keep on getting " NO SERVICE" - SELECTED NETWORK UNAVAILABLE" Error.
Rebooting doesnt help, flashing modem through CWM doesnt help. I know for a fact that the simcard it good because other apps that I install can read the sim with no problem, and my WIFI is working like a charm.
Someone got a solution for this? This is already like 4 days ongoing, please any help will be appreciated !!
Im having the same no service selected network issue. I can search and find att and the mobile but when I try to have it connect to att that's the error I get. I have an att SIM card in the phone. Sph l720 SIM unlocked, it didn't ask me for an unlock code or anything like that but I also don't get the invalid SIM card error. I've added the main apn from the att website but that doesn't help and the phone is current set to gsm/umts. If anyone has a fix please let me know, thank you.
Hey guys,
This may be a silly question, but I can't seem to find a solution.
I just flashed PAC-ROM 4.3 using CWM, and everything seems to be working great.
Than I realized I didn't have a mobile network signal, so I tried placing a call and it said "No mobile network detected".
How can I enable mobile network, cause it's not even in the settings no more?
I have the exact same problem, anyone with any kind of possible solution? Here's what I tried already:
1. Removed both battery/SIM for a minute or more then rebooted. (Also made sure that 2G was off)
2. Called a Koodo tech guy who updated the SIM.
3. Went in store to try and put my SIM in a different phone, SIM worked fine.
4. Lady tried installing a different SIM card (her own), still same problem. Tried a brand new one, still not working.
5. Backed up my pictures and factory reset the phone. Same problem.
6. Took SIM out, and the phone does recognize there is not a SIM card and now the phone gives me the NO SIM CARD message at unlock screen.
7. Updated to 4.3 - Nothing changes.
8. Browsed the internet for hours then cried myself to sleep, hoping someone would help me out eventually.
I had the same problem with revolt ROM. I flashed baseband and wiped all data but nothing changed...
I flash a factory image and it worked
Sorry for my bad english

Hi Guys.
I have searched for this issue but cannot find anything specific to my case.
I have a rooted HTC Desire running InsertCoin and recently changed my phone network (new SIM) to Sure a relativity new phone network in Jersey (Cable and Wireless). When the SIM was first put in the phone connected to network but would not send SMS (error straight away). I checked the APN list and this was blank. I got the APN settings from the website and tried to add these (getting warning cannot detect SIM) but it would not save.
SIM works fine in Galaxy Nexus Stock 4.3 and S3 using CM11 - cannot to network and APNs visible + text/data works.
So I installed CM7 and CM10.1 and with these the phone would not connect to the network at first. However when I do in to search for networks a couple of times it finds SURE and connects. Adding APN gives no error messages but this will not save. Using APN tools from play store they say "You SIM card cannot be used" Sim state "UNKNOWN" + cannot detect operator code etc so it seems to be an issue reading some of the SIM. But when connected to network I can make calls and receive texts. I have tried messing with the GSM only, auto WCDMA settings in phone information and makes no difference.
I am on baseband 5.11.05.27.
Any ideas what could be causing these issues? I really think its an issue with the phone reading 'some' data from the SIM. The phone shop said we do sometimes have these issues with older phones and i should change my phone
Any help appreciated!

BUMP as I really need help - cannot send SMS or get data
Any ideas - should i try different radio?
Firstly upgrade radio to the latest one, as the one you have is not the latest. Secondly, try latest evervolv nightly, as it is based on kitkat and maybe it will help. Try these and post results.

Hi there,
Thanks for these suggestions - it has taken me a while because of USB driver issues but I have finally flashed the latest Radio 5.17.05.23 with a Stock HTC ROM and this did not make any difference - still says No SIM card when opening APNs. Then flashed to latest Evervolv 4.4 and just like CM before it will not let me save APNs and actually says 'No SIM card - C&W" on the lock screen.
Any other ideas - really seems like the phone cannot read the SIM properly. Works fine with other SIMs and the SIM works fine in other phones. Have 2 x HTC desires and same issue so must be problem with this model?!
Thanks
Bridgstfer
No other thoughts guys? Is this just a weird one where the HTC is too old?
Got this phone from a friend and immediately flashed the last CM 14 Rom before they shut down. Flashed the experimental Lineage Rom then started the Nightlies. It's on the most recent Nightly now. The issue I'm having involves the SIM card, and now bluetooth (though that only happened once). I can't get it to connect to the network. It was an AT&T phone originally, and yesterday I finally got it unlocked to use on T-Mobile. The card is registering, I see the triangle in the status bar, but none of the solutions I've found can make it connect (the card works in another phone). When trying to connect to the network it eventually just times out. I can't even add APN settings as they won't save. This morning it forgot previous bluetooth connections as soon as I clicked on them. I'm thinking I need to flash an older radio.img but I can't find anything that isn't almost 3 years old. In addition, I can't keep the SIM unlocked. It asks for the SIM unlock PIN every time the phone boots, and the Security setting option is grayed out so I can't even turn it off. Any ideas? Is this all related to being S-on? Based on what I've read, I was under the impression that didn't matter anymore.
Hi everyone.
Recently I have had some issues where sim cards are not working on my phone. At first I thought it was an issue with the sim cards but when I tried the sim in a different phone, it worked fine. I tried numerous restarts, taking the sim out and placing it back in (in case there was an issue with the contacts/sim tray) but this has not solved the issue. By chance I was looking at the phone identity menu and noticed that the IMEI and the IMEI SV fields both say unknown but the device serial number is fine.
I restarted the phone into download mode and checked the System info menu and IMEI number is displayed there but for some reason it is missing in the actual android OS hence I cant connect to the mobile network to make calls etc.
This all started recent after I had come back from abroad (had been using a foreign sim) and tried to use my UK sim. Up until that point, the phone worked fine with the UK and foreign sim. After inserting my UK sim, there was no signal. I got home and tried the sim in my other phone and it worked fine.
I have not modified the phone in anyway (other than flashing an official RUU to fix a boot loop issue - see here ) and it is boot locked and not rooted. After fixing the bootloop issue, I have applied all available OTAs that my phone detected automatically which upgraded the android version to 7.0 (OS 4.28.401.3).
I have tried factory resetting using the menu (not recovery mode) and this has not solved the issue. Any ideas as to how I can fix this IMEI issue?
Many thanks
Rob
Have you checked the apn settings are correct?. Have you checked other UK sim cards in your device that are known to be working?. Do you use a simcard adapter?.

Yep.. tried other simcards thats work in other phones but they wernt working on my phone.. most likely due to the missing IMEI. I also noticed that the colour of the icons on the pulldown tray were red instead of blue and the phone was sluggish when toggling wifi on and off or entering/leaving Airplane mode.
I managed to fix the issue in the end by downloading an RRU and flashing it from SD card. Everything works ok now.
Thanks for your contribution :good:
