Can I make a J730G/DS think it is not dual sim? - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

I have a j730g/ds, but have a specific reason to need a single-sim phone (as in a phone that does not accept 2 sims). The firmware is identical for the G and G/ds models - is there a way to modify/delete system elements that will make this phone's os think it is single-sim? I don't know if it is possible, but a layman's example of what I would want to do would be substitute a system element from a single-sim model that would not even recognize the 2nd sim slot, thus it only recognizes and communicates with sim1, and thinks it is a single-sim phone.
any insight appreciated into this. it is apparently complicated to get an unlocked single-sim version of this phone.

So, in settings, connections, sim card manager- you can't turn off one sim?

it seems like if there is not a sim in there, you cannot turn it off.
my goal is to make the phone a non-dual-sim phone at the system level - no matter what is stuck in the sim2 slot.

Hmmm...... you can't turn off a sim card that's not there ......
Try turning off the sim first, then power off and remove it.
Now am very curious as to why you need this single sim state ?

Hi,
I installed TWRP recovery both this version 3.1.1 and 3.2.1 or something. But both failed. How? I installed it with odin and it went smoothly but when I reboot it stuck at samsung logo even after clearing cache and Delvic cache. I tried many times still I could not install it. Every time, it stuck at logo with both version of Twrp. Any ideas?

[Q] Wont recognize SIM card after flashing rom on MOTO G PLEASE HELP!

Hello, i recently thought about flashing a rom on my phone, i did all the basic stuff unlock boot loader, root etc but when i put the file on my device i got stuck in a bootloop, so i panicked a little and went on to google to find a STOCK ROM for the moto g. I found one and flashed that instead, it did infact save my device and i was so happy at the point, but then i noticed that at the top on my task bar it said i had no signal on BOTH Sdcards when infact this phone only has 1!? (my o2 simcard was in at the time) Anyway i went into setting and it had above he wifi setting "Dual SIM settings" which i have never even seen before. Anyway i clikced on that and it says 'SIM1 Disabled' and below it says 'SIM2 Disabled' Also my Mobile DATA has vanished to. All this worked before i went and screwed up my device. Im kind of in a panic and really dont want to loose this phone :crying: :crying: Please can anyone help get me back my signal and data, other then that everything else is working normal.

You have flashed a single sim variant of the stock ROM on your device, find the dual sim version for your phone here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
Also, of course your data has gone as your phone has undergone a reset and firmware flash
All of them are not for 4.4.4 or does that not matter?

Absolutely. From experience, you must flash the dual sim variant. Unfortunately, there is 4.4.4 available, but only for the States. You might PM me the OTA update package and I'll be able to help.

Htc e8. Rom..

Hey
I have a HTC One E8 / M8Sw - dual sim. I have stupidly wiped the OS from TWRP when I was suppose to wipe the cache...
Now phone won't boot into OS. I have researched but seem like most custom ROMs do not support dual-sim? I am now trying to find the stock ROM that came with the phone or even one that will support dual-sim.
Can anybody help? Also what do I need to do? I can only access the TWRP. I have been trying to save ROMs that are suitable to micro SD card and trying to install but everytime it keeps failing? Not sure if I have located dud copies of the Stock ROM?
Thanks for any help! :/
Try Sammobile.com has most stock os versions of most phones

Not detecting sim card?

My phone isn't detecting the sim card, but is usually fixed by a factory reset? Is there a fix for this so I don't have to reset my phone every time?
Try another sim first. Sometimes they go bad.
Hello,
I have the same problem with my Idol 3 (Dual Sim) Both sim card does not work. I also tryed a factory reset, but it does not solve the problem.

Try a new sim. Or try a friend's sim.
Has it been exposed to water, dropped, custom rom flashed?

I am sorry to hear that. It seems as though it may be defective. You may need to have it replaced.
I would try a Mobile Upgrade Q first.
Do you see an IMEI under Settings > About Phone > Status?

Network unlock

I bought a used note 5 T-MOBILE 64 GB that was unlocked yesterday. My sim card was working fine. I installed TWRP recovery by ODIN and after installing it my phone boot-looped. So, I installed "no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip" file and rooted the phone with "BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip". After that the stock rom booted fine but I the phone turned on it gave the error that non-carrier sim was inserted and the sim did not work. I tried formatting the phone. Installed the nougat firmware updated it and the problem still persistes. Is there any way to remove Network lock? I would appreciate your help greatly

Confusing galaxy s6 model

I got samsung galaxy s6
The problem is that i dont understand witch rom i should flash
At the back of my phone and the odin mode says that my model is Sm g920p
But the settings and also other apps such as device info and smart switch says that my model is sm g920f
I thought the previous owner of my phone has flashed a custom rom that changed my model but the confusing part is When i boot into odin mode the Binary says SAMSUNG OFFICIAL.
Please help me
When you're booting into Download Mode, there is an option to show you a bar code, pressing the home buttom. If the meid match with the Dec numbers down behind your phone, it's an 920p.
I have a customized ROM that says OFFICIAL, and a kernel that does the same... don't pay much attention to that. If in Download Mode, it says that the model is G920P, that's the model - doesn't matter what it says anywhere else.
You shouldn't have an issue flashing a firmware. Just flash it, make sure autoreboot isn't on, and restart it into recovery mode, clear cache, system reboot and that should be all.

Probably, yeah, but it's best to go for unlocked firmwares.
