Problem "No sim card installed" after updating IOS6.1
I've update my iPhone 4 to the IOS6.1 and now the iPhone shows that I have no sim card installed. Is it a problem of IOS 6.1? How can I solve this ?
Thanks
you might try putting some celophane tape on the back of the sim card. Just one strip and trim it to match the outline of the card. sometimes the little spring in the sim card holder doesn't push quite hard enough for the sim card to make contact. Putting a strip of tape on the back of the card often times gives it just enough extra thickness to get it to connect with the contacts inside the phone. This has worked for me in the past.
In fact I generally do this with all my sim cards for just this reason.

"No sim card installed" after updating to iOS 7.0.3
Hi,
Updated my iPad 2 to iOS 7.0.3 yesterday evenening and am now stuck with an iPad that doesn't recognize the sim anymore. I've already gotten a brand new sim card from my carrier, but that doesn't seem to work either.
At this moment I'm trying to put it back to factory settings, hoping that will work.
Any of you any other brilliant suggestions? Or experiencing the same problem?Thanks, but I just did the first... and it hasn't worked. And I live in the Netherlands where we don't have a official apple store (yet) with genius bar... Have to solve this the hard way.

There is no SIM card installed after IOS update on 3GS
Hey!
I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5. All went well, then at the end, it asks me a few set ups (like language, Location, and WiFi settings).
After that, it attempts to activate, and fails, giving me the following error in iTunes: "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate."
Problem is, there IS a SIM card in the phone, I tried taking it out, and putting it back in, tried with another SIM, tried the SIM in another phone, worked fine, just not the iPhone!
I would appreciate any help!
Also, the phone was Jailbroken before, and the SIM worked fine. Just not now, when it tries to activate.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO GO BACK TO THE BEST PREVIOUS UPDATE OF IOS4. THAT"S ALL I EXPECT NOW!@wendy191,
Have you jailbroken your phone before?
If you have, I don't see any way you could go back to IOS4 (4.3.3 or 4.3.5) (However, experts might be able to help you)
When you jailbreak you iPhone you update your baseband to iPad's Baseband i.e. 6.50 (something like that) & once that happens there's no going back (at least a legitimate way) unless you do what this guy says.

Watch this video on youtube. Listen to what he says & you can surely get through the activation. -

"No SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" after updating to iOS 5.
Living in Canada with Rogers service provider.Its an IMEI issue. In my case, about a year ago, after originally purchasing my iP4 from AT&T store, I had a prox. sensor issue. Went to the Apple Store, they replaced the phone. Here is where it all stems from. The IMEI of the new phone was never updated in AT&T/Carriers systems. For iOS updates prior to iOS5, this was not an issue. My phone did its iOS updates along the way with no probs. However, when I updated to iOS5, the firmware did not match the IMEI with what AT&T/carrier had. When I went to Apple Store for the issue about 3 days ago and was given a new phone....again....the new phones IMEI was never updated with AT&T/carrier. I then again attempted the upgrade to iOS5 with the new phone and iOS5 bricked that one also. Today, at the store, we tried 3 replacements with same outcome.
So, after 4 hours and 3 replacement phones with Apple Store Tech (BTW totally gobsmacked), we solved the issue. Luckily, due to iPhone 4S launch, there was an AT&T guy there with a computer tied to the AT&T network to work along with us. The issue is......once the IMEI's on carrier account and phone do not match, iOS5 shuts down the sim card reader within phone.....forever. How to reverse this?......this is a question Apple needs to come up with, because with my case, they have 5 "bricked" phones.
What solved the issue was to get a new phone with iOS4.3.5, new SIM from carrier/AT&T, have carrier/AT&T (in their system) change/match the IMEI to the new phone and activate new SIM. Then, do iOS5 upgrade.
Simple and makes total sense..........however........there is an internal firmware (Apple Security??) issue that bricks the phone once IMEI's dont match.
I am now on iOS5.....no problems......so far. Good luck to all others. -

Iphone 3gs "no sim card installed" issue after updating iOS
I have an iPhone 3Gs. Last week I started updating the iOS of the phone then, I was brought to the page wherein I need to activate the phone. After going through some tabs to tap, the screen says " iphone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable, try to connect to iTunes. So I followed what is instructed. I connected the phone to iTunes but the message says, There is no sim card installed on your iphone. Before I updated the phone, the sim card was not inside the phone, so I inserted it back after the message "no sim card installed, try to disconnect and insert your sim card". But still nothing happened, the message keeps appearing. Also, I can see a "No service" message on the upper Ieft part of the phone. Is the sim card not inside the phone before updating the iOS the main reason why the phone cannot recognize the sim card? first time iphone user here, my aunt gave me this iphone. I really need help. Thank you so much
Ask your aun if the phone was hacked/jailbroken. Those problems are symtomatic of a hacked phone.

Iphone 5, after 8.3 update, "no SIM card installed" alert began.
after 8.3 update, my phone alerts me with a "no sim card installed", i reboot my iphone, it works for minutes then same problem, and i'm sure that's caused by the last update.
Your wars with jailbreakers stuff aren't our problem, please throw your updates without crashing our iphones.I am having this same issue. I upgraded a brand new iphone 4, unlocked, never been jailbroken or anything like that, and after i downloaded ios 5 and upgraded the phone to it, i'm getting "SIM not valid. Only compatible SIM cards from a supportted Carrier may be used to activate iphone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported Carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card".
No idea what to do....
Any help is welcome! -
please help me < when update my i phone 3G < i finish update but face problem , appear me msg There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone You ar attempting to activate. Please disconnect
Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier. Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier. You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

I have tried to update my 3GS phone and now it longer works as it comes up with message there is no sim card installed in the phone. Can anyone help please as I am no where near technical support as I am working as volunteer in remote Asian country
Hi Allan,
Thanks for asking, I knew I had forgotten to mention something. The phone was indeed unofficially unlocked, since there were no apple stores or even premium resellers in the region I lived in during the given procedure had to be done.
I understand this could be a further complication, especially the fact the home button does not work. However, I was wondering if there would be a possibility to use a third-party application instead of iTunes to restore the iPhone? IF someone does know of such an application, I could easily solve further problems myself. Basically, the main issue here is my lack of ability to enter DFU mode. -

Never-hacked 4 gets "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone" after update to 7.0.2
I was using iOS 7.0.1 an hour ago. Upon update to 7.0.2 I get "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate."
I know I haven't a SIM. I threw it away. I moved on. New carrier - HTC phone. I've been using my iPone 4 as an iPod without the SIM for over half a year. Before that I did the same with my iPhone 3 for much longer.
What hoops do I have to jump through now to recover my iPhone 4?
The phone has never been jailbroken or altered.
ATT was my original sevrice provider while I bought my device from Apple.All iPhones require activation after a restoration and an iOS upgrade. There really was no reason to throw your deactivated SIM from AT&T away. You'll need an AT&T sim to activate that phone. It doesn't need to be active, however. Borrow one from someone to get your phone activated

It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
If that is the case, it is nowpermanently bricked. -

The iPhone 3G is Not Compatible with iOS 6...
It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...

HT1414 after restoring i keep getting no sim card installed when activating.
after restoring i keep getting no sim card installed when activating.
Was the phone unlocked offically by the carrier before restoring? If it was unlocked by a hack it will be locked again after a restore or update.
