[Solution - NO SIM DETECTED] [CM13-based ROMs] - XT1562 Single SIM EU

Hi all.
If you are here, then you have likely experienced issues with custom ROMs not detecting SIM, or you are still experiencing this issue.
I have a XT1562 UK Single-SIM model and have had this problem with EVERY ROM I have tried and it was getting so frustrating.
Over the last few weeks, I have flashed custom ROMs based on CM13 and all have presented the SIM not detected issue. A simple fix was to pop-out the SIM module and reinsert - more often than never, the SIM was detected. Then I would restart (as is often the case with a custom setup) and alas, the SIM was not detectable.
After trying various suggestions from developers, nothing was working until I happened to flash a dualSIM firmware and I haven't looked back. I can now flash EVERY CM13-based ROM with successful SIM detection BUT it takes a few extra steps to get to that stage.
Here are the things you need:
This firmware
This fix
A custom ROM of your choice (Highly recommend crDroid or Temasek)
GAPPS of your choice - I would recommend this
TWRP
Okay - the solution (confirmed working and reliable):
1. Unpack the Firmware into it's own folder
2. Copy across the files to Fastboot folder
3. Restart phone into bootloader (power off first then hold power and volume down)
4. In the Fastboot folder hold shift and right click.
5. Select "open command window here"
6. Connect phone via USB to computer and in command window enter the following commands 1 by 1 making sure "[okay]" is displayed each time:
if nothing happens on screen, then simply use your volume keys on the phone to restart the bootloader
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot​
7. Once completed restart phone and setup as normal.
8. When setup is complete, restart phone into bootloader.
9. Flash TWRP
10. Restart phone into recovery
11. in TWRP, factory reset then flash ROM and GAPPS and DualSIMFix
12. Restart phone and setup. If SIM shows not detected, press "skip" and it should detect after WiFi setup.
Voila! You can now confidently flash ANY CM13-based custom ROM with the added assurance of SIM detection. IF, however, you flash a ROM and SIM is NOT detected, then simply reflash the DualSIMFix.
If this solution works for you, please give credit where it's due - thank me using the thumbs-up icon below AND vote in the poll at the head of this thread

So, you want to say, that i need to flash stock DS ROM
and after that i'll can flash any custom CM13 based ROM and SIM will be detected?

It has worked for me and I have tried everything that has been recommended. Just by determined trial-and-error I have found my solution.

Just to reiterate
and my intention is to generate enough interest to further assist developers of the CM13 custom ROMs.

I fastboot flashed XT1562_LUX_RETASIA_DS_6.0_MPD24.65-18.1 (here ); flashed ROM; flashed GAPPS and then flashed DualSIMFix (from here)
I've tested reboots and SIM is detected each time.
I am assuming you know how to flash a stock image - if not let me know.

From PC by fastboot in stock recovery mode, right?
Did you perform any wipe between flashing stocj ROM and flashing CM13 based ROM?

@perfectsense72 - once you are able to confirm fully working, then I'll amend the OP to reflect necessary details for successful detection, etc. Thanks for trying this.

Thank you, i'll try tomorrow.

I can't confirm your problems with single sim modem.
I have german single sim and had problems after flashing french dual sim stock image and then flash cm13 roms.
Sometimes the boot was fine with detected sim and sometimes without detected sim and with random reboots of the device.
After flashing back a single sim stock and completly boot the stock then flash again crdroid no problems appeared again. All fine with detected sim on every boot.

For now I'm using Pac-ROM (LP) and have no problem, I'll try CrDroid soon and I'll let you know.

This is what I'm aiming to avoid for those with issues such as this. Every firmware flash produced an error on flashing bootloader. The only one to not present me with the error is the 18.1 DS retasia.
This has, I believe, been the key to my issues as well as other users. I can flash any official firmware and use it perfectly well, it's just the custom MM ROMs that are problematic.

No - this just re-introduces the stock bootloader for the firmware

So, it's working. Flash Unoficial CM13 after stock DS asian and no problem, both simcards a detected.
Thanks, moozer.

You're welcome. Checked rebooting the phone? SIM remains?
You can now flash custom ROMs to your heart's content. No need to fart around with firmware flashes. All that you need to check is SIM detection on setup and if necessary flash the SIMfix.

^^

Yes, SIM remains after reboot, everything is OK

Thanks a lot! Worked perfectly for me aswell. Currently running ResurrectionRemix and I've had no problems with the sim card since.

Motorola Moto G 4G (XT1040) Bootloop Problem

Hi, this is my first time making a post, ok here's the thing, a couple of days ago my phone run out of battery, when i come back to charge the phone, this just get stuck in the Motorola logo and don´t turn on, i never make nothing like root or flashing roms, the phone os was all stock Android 5.1; so i look in the internet for possible cause and i find that it was a bootloop, i try to get in to the fastboot flash mode to make a reset with the factory option but just get directly to the motorola logo and dont do nothing, so a try with the recovery option and gets in to the android system recovery <3e> and try the wipe data/factory reset but doesn´t work. I try even via computer using the minimal adb and fastboot to erase the cache and the userdata with the commands and doesn't work, still appearing the motorola logo. so i found that i have to install the original rom again but first ill have to unlock the bootloader for my device, so i did it, i unlock the bootloader and now appear <Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3> and now appear the poster WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED instead of the motorola logo; then i search for the stock rom for my device and i find this one XT1040_PEREGRINE_RETBR_5.1_LPB23.13-8_cid12_CFC.xml.zip (i know that my device is peregrine because i remember saw it before in the settings but not remeber the hole name), so i make the installation with adb tools like the post say and make this commands:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If your goal is to re-lock the bootloader: try the command: fastboot oem lock
However, I don't see that solving your problem and may compromise your ability to restore to stock. Instead check this link and follow the install directions EXACTLY:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816
eg. for Canada choose: XT1040 (Note: for Rogers/Fido - confirmed)
Retail Canada 5.1 ROM (Untouched) (531mb) [Download]
i.e., you want the untouched version for your specific region.
Good luck. S

I'm currently using the [AOSP 9.0] Phh-Treble ROM on my E5 Plus, but I'd prefer to go back to stock...Is it safe to go back an Android version?
Are there any special steps I need to take?
Appreciate any help!

I'm a newbie with android and thought I had bricked my phone. I tried everything and nothing worked until I came across this thread! Thank you so very much:good::laugh:

i unlocked my bootloader but after doing so my recovery disappeared. i cant boot to recovery all i get is bad key even when i factory reset the robot doesnt appear it just says bad key then it takes me to the screen to set my phone up. what should i do? i tried flashing twrp but its the same thing

Anytime you flash stock firmware you must reboot to bootloader and flash twrp again then boot recovery mode by holding vol down during power cycle and to go to bootloader then press vol down twice and power once to boot recovery

Is there no way to make a flashable .zip file instead of doing fastboot command without compromising root? Since TWRP can actually be flashed to the recovery partition and the phone can be decrypted?

Is there an updated image available? I can no longer flash this after getting the latest security update. EDIT: I used Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant to recover it.

Manually update Z3 Play to Pie

Story: I bought US version Z3 Play open market model from B&H. I could unlock the bootloader according to Motorola Developer site, but I encountered problem to root and I have struggled half day to make root done from booting TWRP to patching boot.img.
Eventually, I bit the bullet and make a step up to update to Pie bu downloading RETAIL ROM instead of RETUS. This time I patched the updated boot.img and I got success.
Prerequisite:
Full RETAIL Pie ROM
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/beckham/official/RETAIL/
Bootloader unlocked
It's recommended to flash in Linux (I used Ubuntu) as I didn't have luck with Windows
Main battery should be full and supplied battery module should be at least 50% (you can charge battery module with 9V PD charger)
Some typing (all fastboot commands typed as ./fastboot)
Be aware some components will be flashed in b partition. Failure to do it will cause bootloop
./fastboot erase userdata is optional, but it is recommended to avoid unexpected trouble
Steps:
1. Download the Pie ROM and extract to somewhere you know (you can drag and drop the file into terminal window).
2. Copy the boot.img to the phone and let Magisk Manager to patch it, and copy the patched_boot.img to where you can locate.
3. Backup your personal data just in case
4. Prepare USB C cable
5. Enter bootloader. Turn the phone off, press and hold both volume down and power button together, and connect you phone to host computer. (You phone should show USB conmected)
6. Enter the following commands
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash oem_b oem_other.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7. After the phone has booted up, wait until it completed the update process. Now you have to go back to bootloader for rooting.
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Booting process takes much longer, but it's one process until you update ROM and regain root again.
8. Run Magisk Manager to check root status
This is what I did to manually update to Pie and root it. Your milage may vary.
Good luck

I used to flash stock on my rooted z3play, then take the OTA . For some reason that's not possible anymore. I really need the latest OTA to sideload it. I tried many different roms 8.1 and 9.0

Downgrading Motorola One 5G Ace

This CAN be done. Please note of course that I am NOT responsible for bricked devices.
I tried it on an XT2113-2 after finding this Moto G Power thread (kudos to the ever-informative @sd_shadow for giving my nerves a boost with his post):
How to downgrade Android 11 to 10
I unfortunately decided to upgrade my Moto G Power 2020 to Android 11 when the update was available and have had many issues most of which is that it is now very slow and battery drain is much higher. Have tried the many suggestions online to...
forum.xda-developers.com
I successfully downgraded from Android 11 to 40-95-6. I did not have the last Android 10 version 40-95-9, so I had to fall back one more version. But it worked 100% fine, no snags at all.
Instructions for downgrading:
1. *** Bootloader MUST be UNLOCKED ***. Downgrading will NOT work on a locked bootloader, it will fail rollback protection. If you try and it fails, your current firmware is ilkely trashed and you'll have to reflash it.
2. Make sure you have a copy (uncompressed) of the firmware version you want to download to.
3. Copy all unzipped firmware files to your ADB folder, and open a command window.
4. Reboot to bootloader ("adb reboot bootloader" from system, or from power off, press Power + Volume-Down until bootloader screen shows).
5. "fastboot devices" in command window to check connection between phone and PC (I used Windows 7).
6. Manually run all fastboot commands listed below, or use a batch file, or maybe try RSDLite (run flashfile.xml in the firmware folder). RSDLite is old, but the last version of it (6.2.4) worked fine on a Moto G Stylus 2021 that I unlocked and rooted a year ago. It's a fairly simple tool that has aged well thus far.
7. Check that each flash command finished with an OKAY (actually 2 OKAYs). It ANY fail, you should start all over, or suspect that your firmware download is corrupt, or USB cable is bad . . .
8. If ALL files flashed OKAY, "fastboot reboot" or use the Volume and Power keys.
