Sometimes its the simplest things, but make sure your SIM is in the right way or just reinsert it. Make sure data is enabled and you have an APN

You should probably exchange it if you within the warranty period. It might be defective
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Had this happen to me not too long ago. Tried everything. Ended up having to do a warranty exchange. The phone lost signal one day while I was using it and it never got it back. I had the phone in this state for almost 2 weeks while I used a back up phone and it never got signal back so I sent it off. Now my new phone has a defective microphone.

"No Sim Card" notification

Anybody know how to get rid of this "no Sim card" notification? Sprint's GS3 version doesn't use a SIM card.
But no matter what I do, I can't seem to get rid of it. Even tried flashing different ROMs, and restoring previous nandroids that I backed up before I started getting that notification. No dice. What's the deal?

I just don't get it. I even backed up my internal sd card and did a factory data reset, and it still won't go away!!
All I know is that this happened right after I used the wipe cache/dalvik cache feature in Rom Tool Box pro (which I hadn't used before) because I was about to flash a new Rom. And after it booted up again, it just appeared and hasn't gone away.

I was just looking into doing that. I was hoping I didn't have to do that. But at this point, looks like it's the last thing to try.

There is an option under mobile connections in the cm10 builds where you choose where your connection data lies. There is a NV and SIM option. This may be the cause.

Actually, that did nothing. I saw the setting. But it doesn't really do anything in terms of getting rid of that "no sim card" notification. Sigh.
I just can't understand why I'm getting that blasted notification for no sim card. I'm on Sprint for crying out loud!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

So I've been trying for the last 24+ hours or so to remove this "no sim card notification. And I just flashed a leaked TW JB rom, LIG. And this one doesn't show a constant "no sim" notification. But it does show it in the lock screen. Ha! Jeez, this is driving me nutz.

Another possibility is that you're flashing a rewritten T-mobile rom and they never figured out the sim card issue themselves. The earlier leaked TW JB rom was leaked from a sim using carrier. Try downloading the LIF one or a previous ICS version. That or just go straight CM10 if you don't have 4G in your area.

Sprint phones do have SIM cards iirc... they are just built in and internal and are not ment to be accessible... can you make any phone calls? Other then 911.

Ok, so I completely wiped my phone, unrooted, returned to stock, did the hands free activation code, and still, when i rebooted the phone, it still has the "no sim card" notification. I'm completely fresh out of ideas.
I even spent two hours on the phone with Sprint techs and deactivated and reactivated my phone. They gave me all kinds of codes and proceedures to troubleshoot the phone, and still, no avail.
This is hands down, the weirdest thing I've ever encountered on an Android CDMA device. Makes no sense what so ever. Im just going to have to live with that pesky "no sim card" notification with every rom I boot. At least until I switch to Tmo. I'm done with CDMA.
I only found one other guy with this same problem, I pm'd him, but hasn't responded yet. I hope no one else geta this problem. It's just been the biggest headache.
*The pic below is after I unrooted and returned to stock. And still, there you'll see that fabulous "no sim" notification that I can't clear out* (sigh, sadness)

The only one i was on was Freegs3, i think it's L8 based, when it happened. Used the clear cache/dalvik cache feature in Rom Toolbox Pro, and when it re-booted, that's when it appeared.

SIM HELP!!!!

About 2 weeks ago I started being unable to send/receive texts and calls. All of a sudden I just constantly got the messages "not registered on network" and "emergency calls only". I have tried everything. Flashed different ROMS and modems, taken the SIM out and put it back in - even ordered 2 new SIMS from different networks to see if it was a problem with my provider - but nothing has worked.
I contacted my network and tried all the suggestions they gave me(none of them worked) and they assured me that as far as my account is concerned, everything is fine.
I really have no idea what the issue could be. My phone CAN detect the SIM card, e.g. when I got a Vodafone one to try out the Access Point settings all changed and a Vodafone toolkit was installed on my handset, but I still cannot send/receive any texts or calls.
I checked my device's hidden menu, and it correctly tells me what my current network is, but then it says:
GSM service: Emergency calls only
GPRS service: Disconnected
ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated, as you can imagine this is very frustrating!

Have you purchased device second hand?

Nope, I purchased the device brand new. I've had it since the start of November and haven't had any problems until now.
I just paid for a report from checkmend.com to find out if my IMEI has been reported or blocked and it says that it hasn't, so that seems fine. Any other ideas?

And your imei is displaying correctly too? Same on sticker under battery.

This sounds like its got something to do with the operaor end and not your phone. If you have a sim card from any other country other then you are living ?

Yes! That is the IMEI number that is coming up! 00499901.......
I looked for an efs backup on my phone but I only have ones from AFTER my IMEI must have changed in the first place, so what can I do now?

Your is generic imei and it's due to corrupted efs
Find toolbox in my signature and there is a tool 'efs repair' try with that
Otherwise you have to send to service station.

I just checked my efs folder in the root directory of my phone, and noticed that I have .nv_core.bak, .nv_data.bak and .nv_data.bak.md5 from dates BEFORE my phone started going wrong, can these be used to restore my original IMEI?

You can try, nothing harm as you already have broken
But keep backup of efs folder safe whatever it have, at least you will have it, if something goes wrong.
Try contact this xda user. cvxcvx
But first thing you need is try that sw I said you in my toolbox thread

Not registered to network

I need help guys, I was using my phone for only a week when all of a sudden I can't call or text or listen to my voice mail... instead I keep recieving "not registered to network" messages when i try and do anything involving data. When I go to my settings to enable data, its already on, but when I look for an available network, it turns off my data.. its like a never ending loop. Regardless of which I do first. My s4 is rooted but I doubt that could be the issue becauze it worked with my phone being rooted, anyone have any solution other than replacement?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

Take a look to your apn and also make sure your IME has a # like 03 instead of just a 0 also check that on mobile networks make sure that the LTE/GSMA something lik that.. Is checked.. Make sure it has the LTE...

This could also be a bad SIM

Maybe, but why randomly stop working? Before this situation, my phone was sending me errors about how I couldnt wifi call due to an outdated sim card, so I went and got a new one, that didnt work.

And all you've done it root it? That's not going to cause your issue, and you have a new SIM. It's starting to look like bad hardware.
lagunas11 was asking you to verify your IMEI

Wait.. I think your right about the whole SIM deal, I switched to Family Mobile about a week ago and they dont really have new sim cards just the original big than micro, so im going to take a guess and say it is the sim

Nah, when you purchase the SIM Card, its a big one but within side is a micro-sim, that you can pop out incase you desire one, but if you need the big one, you can easily pop the micro back into the big. Thanks for your help man, I guess im going, to be phoneless for a little

[Q] Hard brick Problem with UCUFNE4 modem on UCUEMJB bootloader

Hi
I have a d2att phone which was having some problems to catch the signals
So I had decided to update the bootloader and the modem to the latest version as installing stock etc did not help. I was on CM 11 when the following happened
In a hurry to check if the new modem works or not I forgot to install the new bootloader
now the phone is hard bricked. Does nothing except showing up as qhsusb_dload when connected to computer
I tried a few debrick images in the forum but none of them worked
already consulted with some experts here but no solution in sight
If anyone has the latest modem and bootloader can you provide me with the debrick image

There is no way to recover from this type of hard brick right now. I am very sorry...

Would the debrick image from anyone having the updated modem and bootloader also not work ?

Nope. If you dig back through the debrick thread there are several debrick.img files already. None have worked on that type of brick. You are more than welcome to try though. Its not like it will make things worse!
I am sorry to hear this happened and that I can't really help....

tried 7-8 debrick files but no effect
waiting for a magic spell to wake my dear phone up

You can send it out for JTAG. I previously used a service on ebay for $28. They got the phone to turn on but was unable to fix the bootloader and the IMEI was unknown. Everytime they tried to fix it, it would hard brick again.
Unfortunately, I ended up following another poster's suggestion and replaced the motherboard. I got a cheap broke s3 phone from ebay for $40 and replaced my motherboard with that one.
Good luck.

The problem for which you used JTAG was a different one or was it this only?

It was for the same exact problem in the OP (original post). I initially hard bricked my phone when I was trying to upgrade from MJB to NE4. I flashed the modem when I shouldn't have, and I think that was the culprit.

Ankurbajaj9,
your phone needs either a new emmc or motherboard. It can alternately be used as a paper weight mine weighs 7 Oz with an otterbox on it. Seriously this type of hard bricking you have done to your phone is not fixable. Replace the phone, the motherboard or the emmc.

I dont think it would matter but which rom and recovery did you have on your phone when it happened
and the guys at JTAG .. did they try to upgrade the Bootloader or downgrade the modem or both and nothing worked ? or they do something completely different and I should read somewhere else about it

This model is not sold in India that is why a spare part would be difficult. I dont think importing should be a problem. I'll let you know what happens

I think I saw a couple in the last few days that were going for about $40-60 (US). They were both used devices with broken displays, but the listing claimed the IMEI was clean and device was otherwise fully functional.

Im afraid it didnt just put it into a coma, but rather totally killed it. Really sorry to hear about that. The best fix I know of right now is to replace the motherboard.

funny thing is .. sometimes when I put in the battery it gives me a flash .. I did not say dead because I have to find a way to bring it back

The flash is normal. Happens a lot when a device is hard bricked. I wish you great luck on getting it fixed, but not even jtag has worked for this kind of brick. Please let us know how it goes!
