I don't know if you've already tried this but, try backing up the data that you want to save from your device, then boot into to recovery and choose factory reset, when the factory reset finishes, wipe the cache partition while in recovery then reboot the device.
Contact customer support for your mobile carrier and tell them that you lost service after the update was applied, then see if there is anything they can do from within their system to restore your cellular/network connection. If they mention sending you a new SIM, tell them no and that you will try to fix it first and then if it doesn't work you will accept a new SIM from them. Try finding a different solution before you resort to getting a new SIM because the issue might not even be the SIM but it's worth trying to see if they can do anything before you start trying to find software/flashing solutions that you can do yourself.
If you flashed the update yourself, you might have used an update for a different region. If this is what you did, you need to find the update for your model number and for your specific region, country or carrier. Or you can flash just the modem img or bin file that has been extracted from a firmware update that is for your region, country or carrier.
If that doesn't work. Try flashing the firmware version that you had before the update was applied.

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
First of all, sorry if this has been answered here, I simply can't find a definitive answer for our S6, let me explain better.
As you may know, I'm not a newbie here or in other forums, I've rooted most of my phones (Not this one) and have installed custom roms dozens of times to all of them, BUT, I'm definitely a newbie about what I need here, I'm trying to see if I can change my SM-G920i region from XSA (Australia) to any other one, India in this case. I have read tons of threads and posts and that's what is confusing me, in some threads there are people saying that they did it and is working great, in that same threads there are people saying that they did it but Knox got tripped, there are others that say that the device is soft bricked and others are saying that they have read somewhere that changing the CSC from it's original one may brake future Samsung pay.
So, this phone is paid by my office, they allow me to do what I want to it while I'm able to just put it back as it came from factory, so that means that I can root it if it doesn't trip Knox, that I can install anything while I can simply go back anytime they need me to, and obviously, Samsung pay works when it finally comes. With this in mind, can somebody answer me a couple of questions?
1-) I know it's possible to do it, but is it true that by doing this I'll have Samsung pay issues? I doubt that knox will be tripped if I do it with odin, but besides knox, is there any possibility that Samsung Pay will not work in certain regions (India in this case) and that's why some are saying that it will break it?
2-) If I download the firmware and flash it via Odin, I'm reading that it won't brick the phone is done via Odin, but in worst case scenario I assume that I can always go back to original one and it gets factory reset, am I right?
3-) If I flash it correctly as I expect an it doesn't brick, does this means that it will change PDA and CSC versions all together, that it will basically become a device from the new flashed region? So if I flash the India one to my XSA (Australia) now it will work completely as an India device and should get future OTA like the rest?
Again, sorry if this has been asked and answered but going back a lot of pages here can't give me definitive answer, thanks in advance for those of you kind enough to answer to this.

In another thread that I have posted (Brazilian one) I was replied to, so because of that I decided to do it, so far everything is working great as expected. Mine was an Australian baseband (XSA), only thing you I noticed is that when I connect it to Smart Switch app for PC or MAC it will still detects the Original CSC, I was curious about it and installed Phone info apk and it shows correctly the information, both PDA and CSC are now from India but it shows that the Original CSC was XSA (In my case), Firmware's CSC code is INU (India) and Active CSC code it says XSA/INU, so I'm assuming that it's showing multiple CSC.
Does somebody know if having the Active CSC showing XSA/INU causes future OTA issues?
After flashing a ROM its good practice to go to recovery mode and do a full wipe of cache and full reset to change CSC to the default of the ROM you flashed.

Well, in that case I think I will pass for now, as I did a Full wipe cache and Full reset before the Flash but just did a Wipe cache after I flashed it.
The issue is that I basically just finish setting everything back as it was before (about 3 hours and I still haven't set my Contacts Ringtones and Accounts links) so begin again it's a PITA. Once I finish this I'll do a full nandroid backup to have everything as I want, but if I do the Wipe Data/Full Reset and then restore from the Full backup, does this put everything as it was including CSC again? I've been always confused about how deep this restore goes in the system files. Do you know about it?
Thanks.
Try restoring from your backup after the full wipe from recovery. If everything works then you should be ok. Otherwise start from scratch and reinstall everything one by one.
Will try that later today, thanks.
Goodluck.

I tried that and nothing, still the same, then I decided to remove the Re-activation Lock in Find My Mobile settings, and after that and enter to recovery mode, it changed the CSC to India, so for those of you with same issues, remember about Re-activation lock.
Thanks for your help.
Did you have a SIM card inserted when you flashed your ROM with removed reactivation lock?
I had the SIM card on the phone today all the time as I forgot to bring with me the SIM removal tool and didn't have anything to open the Sim card tray, but last night I didn't have the Sim card installed when I flashed the ROM.
So today after I did the Wipe cache Partition and Data and saw that it still had the same issue, I flashed a UK ROM into a SM-G925f that had some African country ROM (have never heard of it before in my life but for the name it sounded like an African country), anyways I did that and everything went great, so that's when I thought what was different between the devices and then I remember that I had turned on the Reactivation lock in my S6 and not in the S6 Edge, so I turned it off, then went to Recovery mode and for my surprise the CSC was already changed without any other reset or anything.

can you post a screen of CSC page of Phone ** info ** just for reference?
I see you said that CSC changed to India, but Active CSC or also Original CSC?
What I mean is that, now I have a S6 which has Original, Active CSC as MRU...I'd like to put a European fw on it since I'm based in Europe (got this Middle East / Africa phone just because Dual sim it's not available in europe) but I'm in doubt if putting an european fw will still show that CSC has changed from original one and maybe OTA updates won't work.
thanks
Changing csc!!!
I succesfully installed a G920I indian INU rom in my device which had a XSA rom but when i go to recovery it still shows as XSA ....How do i change that to INU?
Hi i am using a galaxy s6edge+ and i am really struggling with the region lock. I have tried a few options of the factory full reset changing the Apn's to the ones needed and using different sim cards.when it used to go into emergency mode "h+" now it won't connect to any internet at all. Can i possibly have any basic assistance with the rom and resetting options to change the csc when i do a hard reset the csc says it's 'multi'. what does that mean? Any region unlocking help would be appreciated so much!
Thanks guys
Hi there,
Recently, I've been having mobile data problems with my s6 duos
I've got an s6 duos from globe, so 1 sim slot is locked to globe and the other sim slot is open line. Recently I've been having problems connecting to mobile data using my smart sim card. In the data service network, the option to choose smart for mobile data is locked/unavailable, so I can only use my globe simcard for mobile data. I've tried using a different sim but no luck.
I was able to use my smart sim for mobile data in the past. Though I have no problem receiving texts or calls with my smart sim
Advice is much appreciated
Thanks
Also, in APN under my smart sim, I get this message
"Unable to view the access point name settings. Access is restricted for the current user profile."

My guess... flash BTU ... latest UK g920F firmware. Its kind of imposible to lock 1 sim and the 2nd sim to be unlocked.
Edit: you may lost warranty after this... and this is only my guess.
Edit2: flash a costom recovery... do a full backup so if something goes wrong you restore everything

Thanks for replying! I've never really done something like that before.. so if you could give me links and let me know what are the risks of flashing?
also my unit was purchased locally in the philippines, will a uk firmware work with it?
In settings search "profile" if the cell phone finds any ,post a screenshot of if... and you find firmware at samfirmware.com... or a guy have posted them in general section uploaded in google drive for better speed download

hi reader. its been almost 1 month since i bought a second-hand Huawei Shotx ath-ul01. when i bought, it was on android 5.1.1, EMUI 3.1. and update was pending for android 6.0 . On first 5 to 6 tries it did not update and ended with error. and when it finally updated successfully it was unable to read both sim cards. and after rollback it even got worst . now when ever i insert a sim card it asks for PUK code and doesn't even accept the real PUK code for my SIM card. i have also tried changing SIM card but the problem is same wit every SIM. Please some one help me through this. i'll be very thank full.
HOPE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU SOON!
Has the device been rooted ever before?
If you have not any better idea, try to perform a factory reset(wipe data) + wipe cache partition after a full backup. Good luck to you.

system related commands work like a charm.
I switched to Vodafone recently, and after inserting my new SIM into the phone, Vodafone apps appeared automatically.
I know also discover that in the 'System -> About Phone' there is now a 'custom version' listed as VDF.xxxx.
I also can't register for the beta program and I also can't scan for the new v10 release.
How can I 'unbrand' my ROM to be back to a normal unlocked one (as it was and as I bought it). Is it possible to flash a stock version over it and start again? Or even flash v10 'stock' directly on top of it ?

Forget the beta, stable is rolling out now
You will receive an update to the vodofone branding when you insert your vodafone sim, nothing you can do about that, only way you can get back to clean stock is remove sim and factory reset, but it will happen again once you insert the sim
No stock 10 to flash, wait for OTA

Since I can't find any stock firmware for my C431R2 - and I don't dare to flash any other variant - I'm kinda stuck. I don't even want v10 right now, I just want to loose the Vodafone branding.. maybe I'll go to a Vodafone store and force them to undo it.
Will a factory reset clear the branding? Since it's labeled as firmware I'm kinda afraid it will survive a factory reset .
If a factory reset works, I can just ignore the Carrier-update, right ?
Same issue with Altice in France...
Luckily I disabled auto-install over night before it installs, but it is downloaded and I can't find where to delete the file... I guess it is not possible.
I didn't reboot my phone for a whole month, scared that it might install the custom ROM.
But I start to believe that if I don't install it first, I won't get v10....
not sure if I should remove SIM card > reboot > install v10 when available, or just can't do anything and have to install the custom rom if I want further updates
I'm so glad my Telco (Telstra) doesn't push these updates, I don't think you can remove them easily apart for factory resetting but what I would do is:
turn off phone > remove sim > connect to hisuite > backup > then reset to factory through hisuite > update through hisuite > restore backup in hisuite > insert sim.
But this seems like a pain on the ass to do every update and it's probably best to just not use companies that push carrier updates.
Hello!. I have a P30 from Claro operator (I'm from Colombia) and I would like to know if you can flash to a global firmware without having to unlock the bootloader. The operator firmware bothers me a lot because it doesn't update often.

Have you tried to factory reset without any simcard? or even factory reset and update via hisuite?, if it did remove claro updates it would probably install them again when reinserting sim but you can just turn off auto updates in developer settings under "Automatic system updates" (https://androidcure.com/huawei-p20-enable-developer-options-usb-debugging/).
In regards to flashing firmware you may be able to use usb-otg method (https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p30-pro/how-to/help-please-change-firmware-o2-phone-t3999837) and (https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...orial-vog-l29-flash-firmware-153-usb-t3928793)
Flashing the global rom over your rom may brick your phone and I would try a similar firmware to your current one before trying the global firmware.
Using HiSuite, I managed updating to v9.1.0.240 and ignoring the custom update. I think v10 will be installable just the same way without the custom version soon.
But from the smartphone update system, it still shows me the downloaded custom v9.1.0.1.
So I need to get my hands on the FullOTA version of v10 for my model so I can actually try flashing it.
But I can't even find any v9. 1 FullOTA version for my rom, let alone v10.
Only on that paid firmware download site, but it sounds very sketchy and bogus to be paying 17 dollars for a download (if they actually deliver)
