[Q] Galaxy S, sim card doesn't work after flashing rom - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
yesterday I flashed my phone with the original rom it was shipped and now the sim card does not work. The phone was network locked and I'm afraid that now it does not recognize any rom because of this.
I tried to do the procedure of simlock by rooting the phone but no codes appear after I launch sgux in the file.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

it could well be that your sim is dead if you left it in the phone while flashing. happened to me and it was quite weird, i could make and receive calls and messages, but 3g was dead. the guys at the 3 shop were quite amused as they have not seen anything like it before. anyway, try the sim in another phone, see if that works. ultimately flash to an unbranded rom and try a different sim on your phone.

Hi... I need some help please...
im a noob, and i have the same problem...

please argor, if you found how to solve this, contact me...

You say you have the original shipped rom .
If thats the case just flash that back if it truly is the original shipped rom .
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Darky rom problems as usual ask the chief suspect .Its probable you did not flash correct CSC file for your network .

Samsung I9000 Galaxy s doesnt recognize sim card

Hi everybody.
I got this weird problem with my cellphone. I have an international I9000. after factory reset my phone doesnt recognize sim anymore. I tried it with other sims too but my efforts were not successful. I tried flashing with other roms but again nothing happened. what am I supposed to do now? have you ever had the same problem?
Hi i have had the same problem when i flashed my phone, if you have a backup you need to copy the EFS folder back onto your phone as it contains your phone info emei modem details, if you do not have a backup then you will need to find the original rom for your phone, do a search for EFS and EMEI on here there is lots of info on this problem. good luck and the best of regards....
thank u very much buddy I have tried flashing with xxjpu but the problem still exists. what do u exactly mean by original rom?
Help me please guys

Assuming you don't have a backup of the /efs folder, the best you can do is try flashing a stock 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROM through Odin and see if your IMEI is ok.
If you live in the uk my brother (rixsta- xda member) fixes these phones, he has helped lots of people..
He also has a jig and knows what he is doing, he will fix it and put any custom rom and kernel on you want and send it back to you.
He is very kind, you just have to pay for postage and a little donation

thanks all, i have sloved my problem. I also want to share my solution . I took uproom and hard reset hope if someone face to the same my problem, they can read my post hii
I've got the similar problem. My phone says "please put the sim card into the phone". This happened after I flashed Juwes 5.1 custom rom. My IMEI was corrupted after flashing, then I managed to restore it after I edited the nv_data.bin. Now I have an IMEI number, but the phone cannot recognize any simcard.
Reflashing to the stock rom with Odin doesn't help. I've already tried XXJVQ, now I've got XWJVI. Neither hard reset nor flight mode helps. I've already tried to delete nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 and reboot, but result is still the same. I cannot find any tipps for solution. Have you got an idea what could I try?
Here some information on my phone:
german version, not branded
*#06# shows the right IMEI
*2767*4387264636#:
Sellout SMS Off
Pcode: GT-I9000HKYDBT
Mode: Prod
*#1234#:
PDA I9000XWJVI
Phone I9000XXJVO
CSC I9000DBTJV2
everything seems to bi OK but it doesn't work. I have already found a topic in your forum about SIM initilializing bug, and somebody suggested to flash the following ROM:
(Rom) I9000 Hybrid / No TouchWiz *9/7/2010* for I9000
but its no longer available. EFS backup doesn't exist, as I deleted it some days before That was a big mistake.
Now I have to stay without my phone over the weekend

Hi,
There was no need for you to flash to stock ROM after installing Juwe's ROM 5.1. I am currently on the same ROM and faced the same problem. All i did was flash the JVQ modem via odin and my device recognized the SIM card. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply. as I'm now on stock rom, I've already flashed the stock JVI with phone and csc over ODIN. But this didn't solve the problem.
The problem is solved, After restoring my IMEI I was stupid enough, to put the sim the wrong way into the phone Now its working. Thank you guys.
hi tuteary Vtd, what do you mean by "uproom"?? i have the same problem, could you please give some more information about your solution?
thanks,
sami

Problem with simlock (I9000, Virgin UK)

I bought SGS from 2nd hand for my girlfriend. Seller said that phone is locked for Virgin (UK). I successfully removed simlock from my SGS (O2) before so i thougt that shouldn't be a problem for me now. But it is.
I checked with *#7465625# that simlock and all other locks are OFF (before i used phone with SIM). When I put any other SIMs than Virgin I get "Emergency calls only" message. Virgin SIM cards work perfect.
I tried remove lock (but there is no lock ???) with all methods from this forum and still have no reception with non Virgin SIM. I checkd 2.1, 2.2.1, and 2.3.4 stock roms and is same.
How I can resolve my problem?
Its possible if u have been using Odin that you have changed the CSC file, which is the modem, which receives signal. Does Virgin receive a signal ?
Yes, Virgin recive signal. Problem was before I flash any rom by odin.
I can see signal bars when non virgin but can't make call. Only emergency.
Maybe I can use some files from my unlocked and working mobile?
Ok, go here http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/profile/76570387/
You will need to register free, and you will loose root but thats easy sorted, download the latest 2.2 for the i9000 and flash it with Odin. Let me know if it helps, and be carefull with Odin, read all instructions carefully. Though i think the 2.2 is just one file, there for it goes into PDA in Odin.
You may also be sim-locked again, im unsure and im no expert at this. Or theres another site that helped me out. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvp-android-2-3-4-firmware-galaxy-s-install-and-download/
Then go here to root http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-xxjvp-firmware/
Let me know how u get on

I try to use few firmwares but it not change anything. I think that might be problem with nv_data.bin file. In my opinion someone try remove lock, failed, forgot to backup file and sold mobile to 2nd hand shop.
I have another full working sgs. Maybe I can copy some files and/or edit in hex editor?
Edit
Maybe someone can share me his nv_data.bin from locked or unlocked Virgin mobile please?
Sorry about link, but thats the site for the official firmwares from Samsung. I cant help you with copying files man, I know nothing about it.

it sounds like the efs/imei directory is wiped or corrupted take a look at this thread, might be able to help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611796Its for the galaxy s2 but file directories are the same.
have they tried to update the phone back to stock firmware by using samsung kies? that may also work.

Yesterday dutch time 16:00 hours i had it back in my pocket, the t879, they did it...howe i dont know.
But...yes there is a but.
1) The t879 runs a i717 rom....and it has got no root acces, is that even possible?
But number 2) is there a conection between wifi turned on and the error called "no sim card"
In the 30hours i have it back most of the time @home (wifi on) "no sim card" and on the road (wifi off) no problem with the card.
Yesterday got myself a new sim card coz i had an old 1 that was 12 years old (dutch libertel ,former dutch vodafone) and i got the new micro sim card they told me it will take a couple of hours befor the new sim card be active...is it possible that coz it's weekend for vodafone that the new sim card wil be fully activated at monday when vodafone opens doors???
