Alright so I've had quite a journey here. I'm no stranger to Odin, Custom ROMs or Custom Recovery however this one has me scratching my head.
I was running one of the build 7's of SlimKAT with Devil Kernel and had zero issues for quite some time. I went to upgrade to stable 8 and when I booted up my phone it was saying "No Sim Detected". I then proceeded to reflash the stable ROM clean and with a Full Factory restore. Still no Sim. Next I used ODIN to flash back to Stock ROM, still no sim. My next step was to buy a new card, did that, No Sim. I then ordered a new Sim card port and replaced it myself, still no sim. I'm currently downloading the ODIN file from the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../rom-att-i317-ucucne5-mj4-stock-odex-t2802189
However Dev-Host is taking it's sweet time today and it will be 3 hours until the download finishes.
My question is what else can I do? Is there another problem I could have that is causing my Sim card not to read? I don't believe it is hardware because the Sim and MicroSD ports are on the same adapter and my MicroSD works perfectly fine.
This is the first time I've been at a complete loss with what to do. Can't afford to replace or upgrade quite yet so I really need this to be a fixable problem.
Thanks in advance!
Edit:
I also flashed the Modems seperately both on Stable SlimKat 8 as well as stock and none of that helped!
I fall into weird problem. Once I unlocked bootloader and installed custom rom. But when I revert back to stock I lost my 3G. I tried flashing ROMs to get it solved but I failed. It was 5-6 month ago.
Recently, I again flashed custom ROM because stock was too slow. After flashing CM9-KangBang ROM, which, I thought would be good as it was mentioned stable. I found SD card not mounted but 3G worked magically which didn't happened for other custom ROMS. Weird problem is I couldn't install any ROM after that. Because after connecting via usb my computer says, "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED". So I couldn't install kernel which is required after flashing ROM. Another problem is when I install Ignorance ROM, which doesn't require installing kernel separately, also not working after boot. Stuck on boot animation.
I don't know what to do. Can't find my way. My mobile is off for 3 days. Now its urgent for me to make it run.
Please help me. I never felt so helpless like this because somehow I solved my problem.
N.B - I tried flashing ROM on other computer but same result. USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED. Funny thing is CM9-KangBang works fine without SD card.
Hello I have got some strange things a week after I received this phone..there is some simcard reading issue its just randomly stops reading until u remove battery and simcard and re insert then it does work again but after some time again stops reading I had this problem for a while I thought it was just normal thing until I googled..I tried everything change simcards, unrooted rerooted installed custom ROM still had the same problem, I'm on custom ROM called XenonHD/Android 5.1 custom ROM and just few minutes ago simcard was reading well...it just stopped by its own (never dropped the phone tho) so my QN is what can I do to fix this cuz I love this phone so much...I don't mind at all I'm just asking for help if anyone having maybe similar problem and how can I fix it
I just got a new G3 because my old G3 was having sim card reading issues. I'm trying to transfer everything from the old to the new*– and I mean everything: ROM, apps, contents of the internal SD card, etc. etc.
What is the best, most painless way to do this? The old phone, fwiw, is rooted with Cloudy installed as well as G3 Tweaksbox and some Kernel tweaks; the new one I haven't touched yet and is fully stock.
Thanks!

Come on, anyone?

Do a full backup in recovery, move it to the SD card and restore it in the new phone's recovery. Are you sure that the sim card issue isn't a Rom issue? I had this problem on Fulmics, flashed DU and had no problem since.

I'm fairly certain it's not a ROM issue, as my phone was working fine on Cloudy for months, but after a tumble started having issues recognizing the SIM, even after replacing it with a new SIM.
The issue comes up upon reboot; it seems that if I squeeze the phone tightly during the reboot around where the SIM card is, it will recognize it and then everything works fine, but if it was booted without being squeezed it won't recognize the SIM until a squeezed-reboot.
That seems like a pretty definitive hardware issue to me?

Yep, really seems like a hardware issue. But after you do your full backup and put it on the new phone you could try to install a AOSP Rom just to try out, but thats up to you.
My phone stopped recognizing my SIM card today earlier it was asking for an unlock pin i got the pin from att and still wouldnt work so i got a new one and still had the same issue. I flashed a modemfix zip in twrp that was just hanging around in my phone dont know anything about and it made it just not recognize it. I wiped my whole phone including storage and then went back to an old back up and still no fix then flashed another att modem still nothing. Can a bootloader update help or is there something else that doesnt get affected by recovery wipes and restores. Any input is helpful. Im running DN4 and Cyanide L Marshmallow not dual boot just been going between those 2. thanks
maybe flash a stock rom?
