Hey all, just a few days ago my rooted Galaxy S4 SGH-i337m running KitKat 4.4.2 NE1 with Fido Canada suddenly said "Emergency Calls Only".
I rebooted it and it says :"your sim card does not allow a connection to this network". It has been working great for months until now. I have removed battery, sim card reset to factory, wiped cache and reloaded again. My sim card works fine in my Motorola RAZR, no problems whatsoever.
This is what I used with Odin:I337MVLUFNE1_I337MOYAFNE2_FMC. Still same issue. WiFi and everything else works just fine. APN is all fine also.
My S4 is not unlocked, just rooted ( but now it isnt after factory image reset.
Dunno what to do. I have even put a new Sim Card in but to no avail and it works also with my Motorola RAZR.
Any ideas??? Knox has been tripped so if I have to send it away, wonder how much it will cost?
Thanks
Kind of figured out that the NV/RUIM:SIM was messed up because my phone was picking up all the networks so it had to be something fairly simple. SO I downloaded Rogers KitKat from Firmware site ( so I thought ) and flashed it thru Odin 3.07. After it had finished and I had wiped my phone with Philz to load a new ROM I was shocked that it was Version 4.2.2!!!!
Now my connection is back, and the menu for unlocking the phone was all there so I did that while I was at it. Don't have another carriers Sim card to test it out but I followed instructions to a Tee and I am assuming that it worked.
Just have the WiFi/sound problems to deal with. I am ****ting car sized bricks as I thought you couldn't downgrade like that!!! I hope I can upgrade again as I had no problems with the 4.4.2.
Will search the Forums some more but in case anyone has the answer, please let me know as I am at work so time is limited.
Can I now load 4.4.2 Stock Fido Formware back onto my phone or will it totally screw up??? Knox was already tripped so I have nothing to lose

Ok so i bought my new 16gb s4 yesterday after breaking the screen on my first a while back, after already rooting my first i jumped straight ahead and went to root the new one, once connected in odin i flashed the cwm recovery 6.0.3.2-4 before rooting but flashed it via phone instead of pda, now when the device boots up it wont accept any micro-sim tried one from both giffgaff (o2) and virgin both factory cut. It will not pick up on them no matter what i do, ive reflashed stock roms and now flashed foxhound 1.6 rom. Have i killed the sim reader on this phone and is there anything that can be done to fix it or should i just send it away on warranty?
Update:
I ended up sending it to Samsung and they fixed it for free lol
Model: AT&T SGH-I337
Baseband: I3377UCUAMF3
Firmware: Stock/SHOstock
I bought a used GS4 on Swappa last week. Got it today, rooted w/ Kingo, and installed Safestrap.
I put in my old sim from my GS3 and can't get service on the stock FW or any SS-safe ROM I've flashed.
- All other radios (Bluetooth, WIFI, NFC, etc.) work with no problems.
- The SIM works on my AT&T GS3 with no problems.
Now the strange part is that the SIM is getting recognized, but is missing certain information. (See screenshot)
+ My phone # shows up and is correct
+ My IMEI is correct and matches the sticker on the back
+ Somehow, signal strength is showing up in service mode
I've attached screenshots of various service mode screens that could be of use.
Now the question is: What should I do/ how do I fix this?
Does this happen on both roms?
Honestly, I'd go get a new sim. Cheers
Yes, I've tried it on stock and 3 ROMs I've flashed.
I'll try my brothers ATT SIM when I get home today.
I'm also going to try removing Safe strap and root, then factory resetting.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
- UPDATE -
So I successfully removed Safestrap via ADB, removed root, and factory reset from stock recovery.
The no service problem still persists. I guess the only things it could be now are:
+ My SIM is somehow messed up, as xBeerdroiDx suggested.
or
+ The SIM tray needs to be replaced.
The original owner called me today and affirms that the phone completely worked before.
Does anyone know what else internally could be causing this?
- UPDATE 2 -
OK now I'm at a complete loss. I tried other working AT&T SIMs. Nothing.
Tried replacing the SIM/SD card tray. Also nothing.
I've flashed all stock MF3 and reset EVERYTHING.
I've even gone as far as enabling the service menu and doing a NV_REBUILD multiple times.
Only thing I haven't flashed is a new .PIT because of the signature checking issues with MF3.
It's weird, because I can get a signal if there is no SIM inserted. And I was able to enable data and LTE functionality at one point by messing with the service mode settings. But that was it. No calling or cellular functions.
Could it be that my /EFS partition is somehow corrupt?
I'm getting close to giving up and seeing if Geek Squad can send it in with no warranty/coverage. I don't enjoy having a $400 wifi browser.
I used Odin to flash a NC2 firmware. I found the firmware in the thread will the leaked KK files. After flashing that firmware ive been unable to connect to Net 10 service with either a ATT or Tmobile SIM card. If i put the Verizon SIM in, i almost immediately see 3G is available. I flashed a second (updated) firmware, and i still have this issue.
Is this a known issue? Anyone else have this issue? Im using BigginsROM cause flashing Hyperdrive causes a black screen when booting. I presume its cause HyperDrive isnt on NC2/NC4 yet. I hope this isnt permanent cause itd defeat the entire purpose of spending $900+ on the phone and accesories.
Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. If ive merely derped something feel free to let me know.
First this firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528707
Then this firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627
I installed a SIM card info app. The app says that the phone is network locked to Verizon. The phone number that is showed is associated with the Net 10 AT&T SIM. Still says network locked and SIM operator is Verizon.
While further researching the issue i found that the servce menu reports "Network: UNBLOCK." The conclusion is that that means the phone is SIM locked. How in the world would i have managed to lock my phone?
While even further researching the issue i found that it might be the NC4 ROM that i flashed when i was having problems getting the KK leak to boot.
Edit.
Before you judge me by saying how i'm posting something thats done before, it hasn't, I've searched everywhere no methods work
Please, someone help me I've been at this for 4 days now and maybe just 15 hours of sleep :crying:.
The phone I have right now is the SGH-i337m Galaxy s4 running NC1 with MDJ modem (Kitkat 4.4.2) Does not detect sim, it says "No sim available".
I'm not exactly sure if the phone is from Bell but the phone use to be running fine on my old rogers sim card until I updated to their new ShareTap Sim.
With the ShareTap Sim the phone doesn't detect my sim anymore. So I tried my Share Tap Sim in another unlocked phone (Galaxy note 3) it worked fine.
Then I tried a Virgin mobile sim card on the S4 and it detected it and worked fine also. So then I tried to unlock it by flashing it with many different methods:
1. I tried flashing a older version of Bell 4.2.2 but it bricked my phone ( I already unbricked it back to 4.4.2)
2. I tried flashing the MDJ modem but it doesn't show the hidden menu.
3. I tried flashing ATT modem to try it but that also bricked my phone.
4. I tried to use the AWS tutorial shown here
5. I tried the regionlock away tutorial here in the third method (RegionlockAway doesnt do anything to my phone)
6. I pulled the modem.bin from the TAR file from sammobile of Bell's 4.2.2. But it still doesn't show the hidden menu! It's the MDJ modem but it still doesn't work!
I'm not sure whats wrong with my phone. When I put the Virgin mobile sim card in there it only shows Telus, EXT and Virgin Sim networks available not the whole spectrum which is what is supposed to happen with the 337_aws.qcn file from the AWS tutorial. Then when I flash MDJ modem from bell or the one from this dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2m3id2cx4l...37MVLUAMDJ.zip
It still doesn't show my secret menu.
The secret menu I'm trying to access is the *#0011# but if that didn't work I also tried the *#9090# It still doesn't show the secret menu. So what do I do now? Please Help!
Thanks for reading!
Sorry to hear that, but you are in the same situation i was, the phone was probably sim-unlocked by Box Software, like Octopus or Z3X Boxes as i did, the phone won't recognize some sim cards by unknown reasons, there is no fix avaliable for this as i changed imei, tried different NVM from other phone & even replacing sim card reader. i finally sold it & got myself a i337m unlocked via code.
Edit:
forgot to mention, My SIM stopped being recognized when i upgraded it to a newer LTE version
Kind regards.
Have you tried stock NC1 with the included modem? If the device is unlocked, you might have better success with SIM recognition. In my case, my device was not unlocked, so I Odin flashed stock Telus MDJ, then rooted with CF-Auto-Root, unlocked with RegionlockAway (KNOX tripped), and applied the AWS Mod.
Then I flashed stock NC1 with the incl. modem (root gone), and managed to get Rogers LTE and Wind H+ on the Telus device. From there, I OTA updated, and rooted with CF-Auto-Root, flashed TWRP, and worked my way to 5.0.1. Trust me I know how frustrating this can be, but thanks to this forum, there was a solution. Here's what worked for me (link). Good luck.
So i recently flashed my device. I have an att note 3 i am having troubles using the wifi because everytime i turn it off or reset it the phone wont remember the wifi password or the wifi will get stuck on. I used to have 4.4.4 kitkat on it but when i flashed it i couldnt find the kitkat 4.4.4 and could only find a kitkat 4.4.2 that would work with my phone and actually flash my device i used for a tablet with an old sim card not connected to the network. I recently tried to put my girlfriends sim card in and update it off the att network but it wouldnt connect to the network even with her sim card in the device. I am having alot of trouble and its starting to cause fights between me and her and so i really need some help on how to fix this and update it. possibly a full factory reset. Also i removed a few of the att app that come on the phone the phone is rooted and superu is perm installed even when i factory reset through the boot settings it still is there. if anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
