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And my advice is to not try the apps, most of them are either outdated that only work with exploits in old android versions, or a complete scam.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?

Hello people,
I've got a problem:
I've bought a Newman N2. Unfortunately I've updated the stock rom - and now I've got no more detection of my Sim card.
It has Firmware Newman_N2_00.22 - IMEI is also correct.
My Sim card works in another handy correct.
I don't know what to do - I've searched already here, but it didn't help me what I found.
Could it be something with the EFS Filesystem? Can I restore it somehow whitouth flashing?
I can't install the CWM. Didn't work for me. The fastboot doesn't work for some reason
Thanks in advance for your help!
There was an info on the newman forums about you must flash the phone without sim.
What if you try it with wipe before flash, and reflash then?
Didn't read that unfortunately... What can I do now?
Try to install the 00.20 FW, but wipe data, and wipe cache before it. And ofc without the SIM.
After it you can isntall the 00.22 FW. It is the latest.
00.20 http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=188071&uk=1143976775
00.22 http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=190980&uk=1143976775
Any luck? I found something. To go back to the stock FW you need to flash it via Windows.
"Warning: People who have the first Version of the Firmware ( Date 2012.12.13 ), they should first update to second version ( Date 2012.12.15 ) and then they can update to the last version ( Date 2013.01.12). Because you can get some problems with SIM."
Unfortunately only 32bit drivers included.

I read this too, was because of me this topic
I sent it to a friend, who will flash it with his box.
Finally flashed it to the basic firmware.
Also tried several other firmwares, resetting IMEI - also different sim cards.
We guess the SIM Slot should be broken. Does anybody know if we can order just the SIM Module Slot? Or it would be just the whole mainboard?

baseband problem
See IMEI sim card phone is not registering. Imeili clone phones updated when the network is losing record. I think they do the installation again with Box
Hi
Can someone please help? I've an ICS on atrix 2 running at&t ROM official on Indian Atrix 2,unfortunately I've lost my CID & getting cid error on boot & want to bypass it with bmm
I searched many threads couldn't get fix.i want to root my device and I was told to root using BP tool,I've no clue how to root using bptool as I've tried one click ICS root which didn't help,if someone can guide me or provide a link how to Root using bptool & also I need a bmm apk file as playstore doesn't have it,please need help.I'd really appreciate all the help
AFAIK, if you have not backed up your CID, you have to live with that error
Each phone has its own CID

Many thanks I followed your procedure & rooted it,one more question here as I've an Indian atrix 2 MB865 but flashed ATTversion I'm getting sim not found error,is this cause of flashing at&t or some other reason,here is the thing
I insert a micro sim of one carrier by Name Aircel it detects for sometime & again no sim card
If i insert normal mini sim card of mostly all the carriers ive tried ,it'll not detect my sim no matter what i do
Ive tried both 32k & 64k sim.i believe atrix 2 has mini sim,but still don't detect mini sim,but it detected micro sim for couple of hours
Sim I've used
Aircel -micro sim worked for 2 hours
Aircel - mini sim didn't work
Vodafone - mini sim didn't work
Docomo - mini sim didn't work,
Could you please help me,should I reflash Indian fxz? Or is it just a radio problem? Could you link me to correct fxz of Indian version please as I've already messed my phone with cid not saved,also if I flash back to Indian fxz will I've any problems flashing as I've CID error?last thing should I delete Boot menu manager & unroot before flashing? All your help highly appreciated
Regards
1. You're sure that your SIMs work, right?
2. Because mine is AT&T, so I don't have any experience flashing cross ROM
Here're what I know from your post:
- I think you can use alcohol to clean your SIM holder
- You don't need to remove BMM or unroot before flashing, just flash it by RSD, like you raze your house and build a new one, you don't care what are inside your home :silly:
Thanks again,I've flashed back to Asia retail using the bat file without using rsd lite,thanks to the developers ,makes things so easy,coming to the sim issue ,even after rolling back to Asia retail the sim problem still there,not detecting sim.it only detects one particular carrier sim that's aircel & its a micro sim whereas our atrix2 has mini sim.I'm really confused now,where am I wrong
You said clean sim holder as in the sim card slot which holds sim card inside the phone or do I clean the sim card ? The chip portion?
Do you think the sim tray is faulty ? If faulty it wouldnt detect any sim ,but it detects micro sim of one particular carrier,I'm sorry to throw so many questions at you,really appreciate your help
Hi,
I meant the golden contact points of your phone, just clean it for sure
But if you already flashed different ROMs or tried many SIM cards then I think there must be problem with your hardware (SIM holder or something else I don't know)
Mini SIM or micro SIM doesn't matter, just the size

i have a Globe dual sim s6 and both sim card slots got locked
it has signal but it says "Emergency call only" and obviously i can not make a phone call or send and receive message.
it was ok before and both sim got locked one by one
and also i flashed custom kernels and roms but no luck
Please Help !
Did you buy used?
did you flash proper modem for your network carrier?
i bought it brand new
and it happened by itself . not after flashing roms or kernels .
one day it was ok and suddenly this problem happened
Is your baseband up to date as well as the modem?
should i download and flash modem separately from rom ?
is not flashing rom enough ?
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.
Hi! My Second SIM Slot got locked up after installing a custom ROM. Is there a way to keep the second SIM Unlocked, I tried changing the CSC to the default one and it's still the SIM. BTW I got mine from Smart here in the Philippines.
If the second SIM is important, I'd go back to the working setup, until I researched a working, DS Exynos (?) ROM.
Why don't you install the original ROM, that supports Dual SIM capabilities?
Try that and see if it works.
