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And my advice is to not try the apps, most of them are either outdated that only work with exploits in old android versions, or a complete scam.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

Does T-Mobile OP8 5G Support Dual-Sim if on Global Firmware?

I was curious as a colleuge of mine recently purchased the OP8 5G from T-Mobile rather than directly from OnePlus. The sim tray only supports one SIM, and I am assuming that as it has been done historically on prior OP devices, the T-Mobile OP software only supports one sim card. I am unsure as to whether the T-Mobile variant has hardware to support two sims or not, but I think it may only a software issue. Would rooting and flashing to get onto the Global firmware enable dual-sim support for a OP8 5G T-Mobile variant?
Thank you,

I'd assume so. I'm planning on trying this myself when my dual sim slot comes in from Shenzhen.

What is the dual sim's use case for you? International travel or work/personal use?
I think in Asian countries, people often get 1 cheap SIM for cheap voice plan and another SIM for cheap data plan.

In my colleague's case, for work and personal use. I personally have my OP7 Pro as my work phone, and it is the unlocked non-carrier variant, so the dual sim support is there. However, for my use, too, I would like to have the capability available on my T-Mobile OP8 5G just as my colleague. I had him order a dual-sim tray from eBay, and from a US seller to get the item faster. If it works for him, I'll likely order the dual sim tray.

i dont think the global or eu roms support dual sim. there was a disclaimer under the network & sim settings untill ob1. not sure if ob1 supports dual sim yet

Dual sim works, however, i cant get my Verizon sim to work with t-mobile. I get the CDMA-less notification, i read that you can get it to work, you just got to call verizon to register your imei with them so dual sim can work. This is running open beta, stable 10.5.12 wouldnt see my second sim.
I havent called them because my verizon sim is through work.

And, this is on a T-Mobile OP8 5G? If so, I wonder if my colleague would have any issues running two T-Mobile SIMs on a global ROM? (I suspect the T-Mobile software doesn't even recognize a second SIM).

Yes, this is on my t-mobile OP8. I converted to global because I prefer global. I haven't tried two t mobile sim cards, and I haven't tried using t mobiles firmware.

So, after receiving the dual sim tray, and inserting two SIM's on T-Mobile's software--it does not even recognize the second SIM. What particular guide did you use to port over to the global firmware? Thanks!

I would also be really interested in knowing how to get the second SIM to read on the T-Mobile IN2017 variant of this phone. I've been tearing my hair out trying to get this to work, now that I've seen that the international models running Android 11 OB2 seem to have functional dual SIM. Personally, I kind of gave up on getting Android 10 to do dual SIM- even with the European ROM (which I'm fairly certain is the only way dual SIM on this device was ever officially supported by OnePlus), I haven't gotten it, but I think I'm annoyingly close. T-Mobile MSM to Global 10.5.12 to Android 11 DP2 will get you non-functional dual SIM- the device will see both SIM cards, and will properly identify them and their phone numbers, but the second SIM won't connect to voice or data, no matter what I do. If I upgrade the device from DP2 to OB2, the dual SIM UI stays (if I go directly from Global to OB2, it doesn't show), but the second SIM slot is still non-functional- no service for voice or data on the second SIM.
For anyone who has gotten a T-Mobile OP8 to properly read two SIM cards, I'd really like to know how- through my hours of messing around with this thing, it always seems like one step forward and two steps back. Hopefully the final release of Android 11 clears this up.
(My two SIMs are from T-Mobile and AT&T, respectively. Unfortunately, I don't think two T-Mobile SIMs has a chance of ever working with this setup on any firmware- "SIM 1" and "SIM 2" share an IMEI. While that's probably okay for SIMs from different carriers, that's not going to fly on the same carrier- it will look like a cloned IMEI to the network, and probably get shut down fairly quickly.)

Has anyone managed to make it work the Oneplus 8 (pro) unlocked USA version with 2 sims at the same time ? Thank you

It's working on mine with second simbtray however there is no service with both inserted. BecUzebitvhas the same IMEI as slot 1

Samsung Galaxy S10 (SM-G973F) doesn't register to network

I recently bought a used Samsung Galaxy S10 (SM-G973F).
At first glance the phone was in excelent shape. The SIM Card was connecting to the mobile network, and calls, internet connection, etc was OK.
But then, I found out that the phone had been rooted. Probably, by the seller. In pannic, I rushed to unroot flashing the stock Rom.
Here what I did:
1- Forgot to check my precisly CSC code and assumed ZTA (cause I'm from Brazil, and the phone is from carrier "Claro")
2- Downloaded the stock rom using Frija
3- Using Odin 3.14.1 flashed the device.
The previous rooted system was on Android 10 and One UI 2.5. With this new rom went to Android 11 and One UI 3.0.
The problem:
The phone recognizes the SIM Card. But it simply doesn't connect to the network. When I try to make a call it says: " not registered on network"
The phone DO recgonizes the SIM Card. On the SIM Card Manager shows my carrier name (Vivo) and my phone number. Also, the SIM app is showing on the app list.
Things I tried:
Rebooting the phone
Changin the SIM Slot
Testing the SIM on another device to ensure it was working
Checked if the IMEI wasn't missing/undefined. It is not, the IMEI appears to be untouched
Checked if the IMEI had been blacklisted. It's not.
Flashed SEVERAL different stock ROMS with different CSC (ZTO, ZTA, ZVV)
Try to manually select the network. This also throws an error saying "error while searching for network"
I'm really desperate and don't know what to do anymore.

No one have a clue either? :C

How to Fix 'Not Registered on Network' on Android
Here is how to fix 'Not Registered On Network' error on Android. Mostly error occurs on Samsung phones, but this solution works for all android phones.
www.android-recovery.net

Wow,
This is exactly like my S10 right now.
At first, all is good, the signal was great, all working well, except cant connect to samsung pass and samsung health because it was root.
then i brought to sellular shop service, to flash the phone.
Then, “not registered to network” happened. The signal ok, the phone able to read dual simcard, but “emergency call only” and if i try to search network manually, “error while searching for network”
And the sellular shop service have no idea how to fix after they reflashed and try to fix it for several days.
Have you found any solution to fix your pho?
pls advice…

So, were you able to find a solution for this problem? I also bought a Note 9 N960F/DS recently and found out it was actually a N960N model that was changed to N960F/DS. So I did exactly what you did, I flashed the original stock rom, N960N, but now phone will not connect to network. I also did hard reset, reflash other stock roms, nothing changed. Anybody with insight should please give us some pointers.

OP8 IN2017 (TMO) to Global Dual SIM

Has anyone been able to get dual SIM working on their T-Mobile OP8 after flashing to the Global ROM?
I have a dual SIM tray and whenever I insert two SIMs, I get service on the first, and the second is recognized, but refuses to connect to any network. This applies to any second SIM inserted. The IMEI numbers are showing as the same for IMEI1 and IMEI2, but that shouldn't be an issue as far as I can tell.
Thanks!

I have same issue did you find any fix? Please let me know

I was recently able to "rebrand" my OnePlus 8 T-Mobile 5G phone from the T-Mobile version to the European version using these steps (I tried with the GLOBAL version but it DID NOT work):
1. Unlock the bootloader. Steps given in:
https://www.oneplus.com/support/answer/detail/op588
2. I was able to to use the MSMTool_instantnoodle_tmo_15_O.06_200411.zip to go back to 10.5.7.IN55CB
(OnePlus T-Mobile Android build) using the method given in (GLOBAL version FAILED for me here) :
Instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8/how-to/op8-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-to-t4093043
Tool: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261823571
3 Repeat Step 1. Go to Step 4.
4. Next, I upgraded to 10.5.9.IN21BA (OnePlus European Android build) by flashing 10.5.9-EUROPE-OnePlus8Oxygen_15.E.18_OTA_018_all_2007160043_913306-FASTBOOT.zip using the method given in:
Instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-stock-fastboot-op8-stock-fastboot-roms-for-oneplus-8.4084629/
Tool: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fastbootroms/files/OnePlus 8/
5 Repeat Step 1. Go to Step 6.
6. Finally, I upgraded the phone to the latest OnePlus Android version for this phone through System Update to 11.0.9.9.IN21BA (OnePlus European Android build). Now Dual Sim capability is installed but it does NOT show.
7. Relock the bootloader and NOW dual sim capability shows under SIM & Network.
What I don't understand is that the model, IN2017 (T-Mobile), remains the same but when you boot the phone, the T-Mobile logo does NOT show and it boots like a non-T-Mobile OnePlus phone. I expected the model to change to the European model number (IN2013). My goal was to get Dual-Sim working as it has been banned by carriers here in the good ol' USA. My phone now shows 2 sim cards, originally it only showed 1. Now I have to verify what signals it really works with (5G, 4G ?) and if the dual sim capability works.

I went to Verizon yesterday with the setup written above and the second sim did register as Verizon with the first card in slot 1 as T-Mobile. The problem was that we only tested it with 5G. 5G did NOT work with both sim cards placed. I should have put my phone in 4G to see if THAT works. I will go to another Verizon store later in the week to see if it will work in 4G with both sim cards. Hopefully it will.

I went to the Verizon store yesterday and they said that I needed to open an account and activate my phone with that account in order for the Verizon service to work. I was under the impression that all you needed was a Sim card with an active Verizon account and a phone with a good IMEI. I asked them to use a spare Verizon card at the store to test it just to make sure it would work. He wanted me to sign up first which I wasn't going to do. I will have to find another store. Am I correct in assuming that you can just use the sim card from another phone and the service should automatically work ? Or do I have to "register" that phone with Verizon ? F%^k Verizon. Thank you.

So I went to the Verizon store yesterday and brought my OnePlus 8 (IN2017 updated with Oxygen OS 11.0.9.9IN21BA European version). I brought it in unlocked and the Verizon clerk told me it was "dangerous" to leave it unlocked and advised me to lock it (of course I did not). I had my phone set to LTE (4G) under network settings and the two SIMs slots were showing with the first one occupied by T-Mobile. The clerk placed a Verizon SIM card on the 2nd slot and the phone recognized it but IT DID NOT work (messages nor calls). So apparently, according to other users over the web, the blockage of service is coming from the carriers (T-Mobile, Verizon, etc.) themselves. They frown upon dual sim capability and until there are enough complaints to make them change their stance they will continue to refuse to provide dual sim service. It may work in Europe and Asia, but here in the US, not a chance. Talk about UNFREE market.

Sim 2 not working/ Unable to enable after update

I have bought OnePlus 8 used. At that time dual sim was working fine. However, the phone was not updated. When i started updating there were 3 updates pending and phone downloaded and installed them one after another.
After update i noticed tha sim 2 is not showing in status bar. In settings sim 2 is showing, however when i tap on it, the menu is all gray out and the enable button cannot be taped/ enabled.
It also shows the sim 2 operator name and sim number but cannot enable it.
When i remove sim tray it also shows no sim icon in status bar with 2 sims icon.
I have tried replacing sim cards, restarting with areoplane mode but no luck.
Please help how can i again start using the sim 2 as it was working fine before update.
Current version: IN2015_11_C.33

Perhaps, after each update, it was necessary to check the operation of both SIMs, or perhaps it became too many changes at once and a conflict appeared somewhere.
If you installed OTA update, try to backup important data first, remove both SIMs, restore the phone to factory settings and insert the SIM cards one at a time (restart after inserting and setting the first SIM).

Nope. Downgraded to OOS 11 for using both sims.

It was a single sim mobile,
its converted to dual sims mobile bro that's y you can't use dual sim on updated version,

On oxygenos 13, dual sim is working?
