The sim card issues Is a know issue. I would have samsung fix the screen and the sim card error.

They should fix the sim card issue under warranty but if you try to do the screen your self they may chard for the repair. Most likely like mine it was the main system board that needed to be replaced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Vinnie_Madrox:
I had my main system board go bad on my s3, and they told me if the screen is cracked, the warranty is automatically void. So i had the glass repaired locally ($130) and then shipped it out to samsung to get looked at. Unfortunatly they completely whiped the entire phone (internal memory) to replace the board, obviously. I'm really hoping they wouldn't have to do that with this phone, since it's just a piece on the board and not the board itself.

Are there any threads that talk about this issue? I'd like to do more research before spending the money to have it repaired

Why not just buy a Sim tray for 10$ and replace it yourself??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] s8freak:
because that doesn't fix it nor does a new sim card it's a known Samsung problem and one I've been battling for months I believe it's a software problem that Samsung is aware of. Here's the other thread.

The same thing happened to me. Unfortunately for me I had to send it in to sing for it be get fixed. They replaced the pcb board along with many other things that fixed the issue. So if I'd have to say. Call samsung and have them fix it for you. Took a week to get it back.

Not an option, I don't have a warranty on the device seeing as it was purchased through a 3rd party. I am very tech savvy and have plenty of resources (tool wise) at my disposal. Just can't figure out what is going on here.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] msheikh25:
I've been getting the error for a couple of weeks on my stock AT&T GS4. I've had it since release from May 2013 so about 18 months old, and out of warranty. I just recently got the OTA update for 4.4.4 so I thought maybe it had something to do with that but looks like this has been an issue for a while, and not with just the GS4 (or just Samsung phones, but HTC and others also). So your solution made the most sense....something that is common on all the phones would be the Google Play services. After reading, I turned on the location services on my phone and it immediately got the SIM error. So after the reboot, I cleared the data for the Play services and am hoping this will take care of it. Pretty big issue if its caused by Googles apps/services.

Other solution I saw was this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56806072&postcount=238

That is too involved for me to try out so I'm really hoping this Play Services thing will work. But the way he describes the issue is very similar to mine...seems to be the worst when I have the phone in my pocket walking around (although it does happen when the phone is just sitting there on the desk too). I've also noticed its a little better with wifi off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rocksolid77:
Hope it works! I ended up getting the messages again anyways though I do find that whenever the message pops up, if I delete Play Services Data it seems to last a little while before the next message. I'm still not totally convinced that it's not a software problem, as you said, it's an issue that happens on a couple of devices though it does seem to be epidemic on the S4. I've since given up on my S4 and just got my OnePlus One today! Personally, I've given up on Samsung. I've been a diehard Samsung fan for many years but my experience with my S4 has totally soured me on them; it's a piece of crap! They're becoming everything I've ever hated about Apple. I'm jumping ship to OnePlus; same specs, half the price. Except the lack of an SD card which really bothers me... But not enough to pay 300 bucks for it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] am_OS:
solved by switching filesystem to f2fs

I have been experiencing 'sim card removed' problem for almost 5months but recently when i switched filesystem from ext4 to f2fs i have not encountered the problem anymore, counting, 3days.

Here's what i did. I just installed cyanogenmod 12 for s4 i9505 by AntaresOne and just followed all steps from the link below including switching from ext4 to f2fs using TWRP. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/rom-cyanogenmod-12-t2943934

Im sure that it has nothing to do with changing my rom from touchwiz4.4.2 to cyanogenmod 12[5.0.1 lollipop], which required wiping my data,cache and formatting my system, because i still encountered the problem with new the rom with the existing/default ext4 file system.

This is just pure observation, i cannot explain the mechanism with the use of f2fs in relation with sim card functionality. It has worked for me so far and the cyanogenmod12 in the link works really smooth. Please proceed with caution!

Just started getting this problem last week. Like the rest of the posters in this thread, I've tried a plethora of troubleshooting ideas to no avail. Pretty sure my phone is out of warranty but I will check...but the number of major and minor annoyances experienced with this phone and Samsung as a company ensure that I will never buy a Samsung phone again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] clepperM:
My i717 needed rebooted several times a day because of the SIM Card Removed error. After a few months, my charging port started going and ultimately broke. I've ordered two new ones, but they affect my cell reception, so I'm waiting on a third. Point is, after getting a battery wall charger and re-installing the old charging port board, the SIM Card error has stopped happening. Leads me to believe it has something to do with the charging port or the board it's connected to. Just my two cents.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] msheikh25:
I've had this issue since last year and posted in this thread back in November 2014 when it first started. Living with this for almost a year but it hasn't been too bad once I realized how it works. Basically every time I have to reboot the phone, the issue starts up. It'll last anywhere from a few days to a week or so but eventually it stops on its own. Those few days can be frustrating because it can literally reboot on you every couple of minutes at times. Obviously you have to reboot your phone every time you get the SIM error, but the trick is not to restart your phone otherwise because you never know which time it will finally be stable. I have gone months without rebooting my phone once I figured this out. Only time I reboot is when its forced because I can't get to a charger in time and the battery dies.

Hi,

I have rooted my phone ,s-off etc, and I have TWRP.

I am unable to install the update, phone goes to recovery, stops there.

Is there anyway I can download the update and flash it manually , or do i have to go back to stock recovery?

thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saikat.mondol1:
I'm not an expert . But I think you can't flash stock Rom from custom recovery. You must do it with Adb commands or what they like to call flash in fastboot mode. And for getting official firmware updates from HTC you need to setup stock recovery. I dunno but you may have to lock boot loader and S-ON too. But not sure. As I said, I'm not an expert
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
You need a stock recovery to do OTA updates, won't work with custom recovery.

COLLECTION of Stock Backups See if you can find your stock recovery in that thread. Flash it and then you should be good to go.

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

No, if he's S-OFF there is no need to lock bootloader or to go S-ON.

He can just download the recovery stock .img file and flash it through command prompt. When he's done and the phone restarted he should get the OTA update.

Only issue he might run into, if he's rooted he'll lose root access and will have to reroot, it happened to me, but it's not a major issue though.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael833:
Thanks for the basic outline. Would you be willing to give step by step instructions? I always get nervous when I have to do multiple flashing, rerooting, etc. . .
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Instructions for? To flash back stock recovery?

1. Download the recovery from the link provided (Make sure it's the correct recovery, correct base number etc)

2. Place the downloaded recovery .img file in the adb folder where fastboot.exe is (by default it'll be in the platform-tools folder) - Though if you did a custom recovery you're probably already familiar with this.

3. Hold shift and right click anywhere in the white area of the folder > go to "open command prompt/window here"

4. Plug usb cable into device and connect up to computer (All familiar surely if you did custom recovery)

5. Commands:

a) adb devices ... to check if device is connected, should see serial number of device.

b) adb reboot bootloader

c) fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img

d) fastboot reboot

Done.

Once the device restarted you should get the prompt for the OTA update(Depending on settings of course), you can then do OTA update.

To get mainversion number for the recovery you need. Just go to software information(in settings menu > about > software information) and check for OS version number or connect device to computer, reboot into bootloader adb reboot bootloader then type fastboot getvar version-main to see main version for device.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saikat.mondol1:
Actually, I forgot that. I need to lock boot loader if I'm S-ON but don't need if S-Off

I put in the vzwinternet apn and nothing happened.

Finally I got 4g after switching phone from global to gsm, but the phone then prompted me to switch to global. So I hit okay and got 4g.

Sent myself some test text messages and they send fine.

After about 3 minutes my phone is back to 3g and won't send texts.

Did the gsm to global and it it's working fine again.

5 minutes later back to 3g with no service.

Currently I have it to lte/cdma. And it is displaying 4g.

Are there any recommendations to what I should do?

For those who have flashed kitkat on their devices and have an update fail, here is the solution!

1. Download this UPDATE.APP file and unzip to your phone.s sdcard in the dload directory:

2. Shut down your phone.

3. Power on by holding Power+Vol Up+Vol Down end release all the keys as soon as the Huawei logo appers.

4. The phone will upgrade some files from the file you downloaded and boot into your KitKat 4.4

5. Put your B125 UPDATE.APP in the dload directory of your sdcard. Maybe 1st rename the current fallback UPDATE.APP to e.g. UPDATE.APP.fallback should you ever need it again to downgrade. (here is a very fast download link:

6. Shut down your phone and boot it with the 3 keys (remember to release the keys as soon as the logo appears) to downgrade your firmware.

Can somebody explain me the proper way to build the boot image? I'm able to build a pure kernel image but i'ts now what i need to flash into boot partition.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Eh that's a bit complicated, the kindled booting is a uniqueish format. Hashcode made a custom make setup in cm's build system to put it together since it not only has a weird signature but a second bootloader added onto the beginning of it as well. Are you compiling a rom or just trying to rebuild the bootimg?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipipipipip:
Yeah, I've tried to figure out from the CM port how it's built. I've found some code here:

https://github.com/KFire-Android/android_device_amazon_jem/blob/cm-11.0/boot.mk

But I can't figure out how to attach a kernel image, ramdisk, what else.

I'm not building rom, just want to change some features in the stock kernel.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I could attempt to throw one together for you, I think my current setup doesn't bother to check the intramfs as long as it exists in the out directory, I'd just have to replace the kernel and initramfs and attempt a build. O wait I'm in the 8.9" section, I don't have a working build of b2g going for that yet, probably wouldn't be the best idea, would probably work but Idk. You could just build cm from source and pull the bootimg out of the zip it makes. Maybe I can slap together some instructions, I kinda see in the makefile how it works but makefile scripting isn't my forte, its similar to bash but different enough i can get confused at points.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipipipipip:
Building the whole cm is a bit overhead. I don't need the complete build script but it would be great if you point out some makefiles, or places to look in the source tree, i'll try to fugure out how to use it.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
ah sorry i have been at work most of the week and passing out once i get home (thank you low stamina). Anyways i thought i had posted something on here about where to look but it seems i didnt, look at this file: https://github.com/KFire-Android/android_device_amazon_jem/blob/cm-11.0/boot.mk#L27

That area (line27ish) should give you the hints you need.

Edit: wait this is a 8.9, wrong link, that would be a nice brick if that was used... Fixed!

most of that file makes sense, the only thing i am unfamiliar with is $@. $ usually means a variable or something else i'm trying to rember involving a program, probably storing output from a program as the variable. As to the @ symbol i have heard it means array, not very sure at all about how it works.
