[Q] I've lost my second sim on dual sim mobile - General Questions and Answers

Hi All, first post here sorry, if its in the wrong section.
Not sure which section to post in. I have included the html infomation.
I bought a dual sim android 2.2.2 froyo on fleebay from China, which claims to be a verizon type. The phone take a 3G sim only in slot 1 and any non 3G in slot 2.
My problem is that I put a 3G sim in slot 1 and a 2G in slot 2 and when I boot up both show up ok but then sim2 disappears within minutes.
I have tried different service providers in sim2 but to no avail.
In the About section in Settings it says its a model number: P801W. Android version: 2.2.2 Kernel version: 2.6.35-7. Build number: FRG83G. Software version: iris_p801w_v1.17. Hardware version: IRIS_MP. Also the Baseband version is the same as the software version. I think that I must flash the ROM? Any help in the right direction would help. Thanks ..

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hi Chunky2
I had problems with a Ouku horizon too
did you rooted it?
did you were able to flash the rom?

I've lost my second sim on dual sim mobile
yes I have rooted the mobile I used superone after trying others, but as yet I have not flashed it.
not sure how and what ROM to try, I have titanium back up pro but it asks for a modem I think. not sure which one in the list to chose.
I think that the second sim's IMEI number has been blocked because what ever sim I put in the slot after a couple of minutes it gets block and that is why I lose the second sim.
If I were able to change the second IMEI number I think that would cure my problem.
there does'nt seam to be much on the net about that thow.
Thanks for your reply...

[Q] GT3100 owners I need your advise on Sims/packages

Hi all this is a bit of a ongoing thread "sorry" but Im a newbie:silly: anyway I still have no sim seen /inserted coming up, and I just received a new data sim from Virgin,I flashed it again + wiped but still flashed with stock "French " 4.2.2 so ? haven't gotten round to Cynogen but will give this ago before I open up the Tab to replace sim card holder (if it is this?)
Anyway my question to all is what sims are you using in the UK and also Spain for the data/phone as this seems to be a sticky one as Virgin don't recognize it as a phone ? just a tab hence Data only sim ?? and have read that others have had similar problems with Three etc............
Thanks for any help

[Q] Dual SIM ROM in Single SIM Phone?/ SIM Not recognized

So Ive been trying this for such a long time its disgusting. The thread title is my own conclusion from my research throughout the web but I may be wrong in my conclusions.
I have a Huawei G510 since last year. As soon as I got it I rooted it and found a ROM for it. The ROM is a dual SIM ROM and I remember doing something related to a cust folder or something, but I'm not sure. Fast forward to the last few weeks, I want to update to 4.4, and I download a bunch of roms, all of them work except for 1 thing: They dont recognize my SIM Card. I go to Status in the settings and everything about the SIM is "Unknown".
I found a Lewa ROM based on JB and that one was by chance a dual SIM ROM, and guess what, its the only ROM that works. So thats how I concluded that installing a dual SIM Rom must have changed something so that it doesnt recognize my SIM anymore?
So what should I do? Thanks in advance!:good:
anyone? any help is appreciated

[Q] Moto G xt1032 with SIM slot not working on GSM networks

Hi guys. I recently got a Moto G and i knew sim card was not detected by network. Phone it detects it,even apn's. Problem is,it says on operators selection that my sim cant register on the network. My primary phone is a M7 in wich i use my sim just fine.
Also,it is possible to be a cdma phone,but why it has a sim slot and model number as international version? Anyway,in settings it says something about a baseband and not about radio version. Also my htc has baseband version not radio version and it works on gsm.
Anyway,is it possible to flash only modems(radios) on this phone w/o risking of bricking it? I wanna flash GB radios.
And i kinda dont know the whole process since i never had to do it on any of my phones. I would be very thankfull if someone can put me in the right direction with this. Thanks!
Edit : i forgot to mention. I am on cm 12.1 unlocked with latest bootloader.
You should flash stock ROM and try. Sometime CM ROM not work.

Newer SIM cards not detected in Android 2.3.6

Hello everyone, have a nice day and best wishes for the new year! :highfive:
This is my sister's phone, a Samsung Ace S5839i with stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 as second phone with Vodafone carrier. Years ago it was unlocked and rooted at a phone shop and everything was fine. At some point, she issued that the phone stopped connecting and wouldn't work with Vodafone, but strangely it works with other carriers.
So now I have the phone with me, I have tested older Vodafone sim cards and they work fine, tested other carrier sims and they work. I have tested 2 new Vodafone sim cards (mine and my sister's, which are both new and work on other phones) and both fail. The phone boots and doesn't ask the pin code. There is the icon in the statusbar with the sim card and an exclamation mark like there is no card. The radio signal is ok, IMEI is ok, it says "Insert SIM card" when I try to enter the Network Operators in settings menu.
I have downloaded a stock rom with newer PDA and modem versions and flashed them with Odin, but no luck, everything is still the same (except the flash counter...). I wonder if searching and flashing even a newer modem would solve the issue. Or would a newer Android version if there is. :silly:
It looks that this is a Vodafone related issue with the new cards, but all they say is that the sim is operative and won't help.

930FD Dual Sim Network Lock

Hi, my phone is currently locked to carrier smart. Before flashing my first rom, as long as I had 1 smart sim card on any sim slot, the other one can read any other carrier. After flashing rom, if I insert 1 smart sim and another one from a different carrier, I get the network lock notification. It works fine though if I just use 1 smart sim only, or smart sim for both sim slots.
Any ideas on how to revert this? Or are there any unlocking apps I can try for free? Thanks!
Got that same phone few days ago, and as far as my knowledge goes the F and FD version shouldn't be network locked as they ship world wide (international model with exynos chip). From what you saying, its after you flashed the ROM you got the second card locked, so my first question would be what ROM have you installed ? and can you link me to it. 2nd idea or question.. Did you flash the FD ROM or the F one? the F is a single sim version, it does have the second slot in there actually but its disabled or locked, so it might be that the 2nd slot is disabled or something. 3rd, have you tried other ROMs ? or even stock firmware, you can confirm if the ROM is the issue.
And my advice is to not try the apps, most of them are either outdated that only work with exploits in old android versions, or a complete scam. Waiting for your reply.
Hi Salazar, thanks for answering! I already forgot what rom it was - that was about 6 months ago. I remember then I had a backup of my EFS and baseband using TWRP. I remember restoring those when I first encountered the problem - that's how I got my 2nd sim slot working again. Problem is I've already lost that backup, and when i reformatted my phone yesterday, the 2nd sim slot wouldnt work anymore. Just tried flashing a number of custom and stock roms earlier today - problem still persists. If you happen to have the same device (G930FD) - mind sharing your TWRP backup for baseband and EFS?
