UI8/Android 16 update SIM not recognized.

[bwrite]

Galaxy S21FE 

After updating yesterday to Android 16/UI 8, my SIM card is no longer recognized. 

My phone tells me to insert a SIM card when 8 try and turn mobile networks on my phone diagnostics say the SIM card is good, just can't connect to a network. 

I can't make any changes as the 'Access Point Names' and 'Network Operators' are greyed out.

Also, when I go to check for system update it says there's no info about the latest update... And I get an error message if I try and run a check...

Did my update somehow get botched? His so I force a re-update?

I switched from Verizon to Mint Mobile 6 months ago, and this is my first major update since. but I bought the phone already unlocked. Did this update somehow reset it? Why can't I make changes like I did when I switched networks?

Will a factory reset get me around this? (Able to modify my access point and network?)

Desperate to not buy a new phone just yet 🥺

Sweet. Friday works good too . Either site gives same firmware. . But agreed Friday can be faster espnof ure downloading from a puter vs mobile. Glad it worked out for u.

Same phone updated this morning and now no signal

Same phone with same issue and I don't want to do a factory reset if it won't even help. We need a new update!

Yeah it doesn't. That's why I did a reflash of software with Odin and samfw for the firmware . And I saved my data while doing it.

I have no idea how to do that or want to spend the time to learn it. I imagine most don't. Samsung should be fixing this.

Yeah they should be. I agree. I didn't know either I'm 50 yrs old and tech isn't my thing . I tried phone shops and computer shops. No one could do anything but Sim card and reset phone. There is plenty of YouTube videos on this and once u download the program and phone image . It's legit point and click to do. I wish I was close I'd do it for anyone having the problem no charge.

Just to leave an update, the factory reset did fix the phone for me. Seems to be working normally now.
