Hey guys.
With an unlocked bootloader, I've flashed a few different Project Treble ROMs/GSIs, but my SIM card was not recognized on any of them. The ROMs I've tried are Ressurection Remix, LineageOS, Havoc-OS, and PixelDust. On all of them, wifi and pretty much everything else worked fine, but I could not get my SIM card to be detected at all. I've tried both Oreo and Pie versions fresh after going to (bootloader-unlocked) stock by flashing to the global firmware. I've tried both before and after installing the factory 9.0 Pie OTA update.
Among the other things I've tried to fix the problem:
Flash the system image to slots A and/or B, try my SIM in both SIM slots, restore my TWRP-backed up modem & EFS partitions, wiped data partition, rebooting, toggling airplane mode, replacing SIM with the phone on, and few other suggestions (I can't currently remember) on the forums.
I'm currently back on stock, so I have a working phone, but I'd very much like to be on a different ROM if I can. My main reason is to be able to use the various ROM-maker settings and tweaks. I was using GravityBox and other Xposed modules back on Oreo, but there is not yet working Xposed on Pie, and I prefer to stay on up-to-date software.
If anyone has figured this out, they'll have my extreme gratitude.

I had no problem with mobile data on official ROM but from the day I installed CM 13, I can not using mobile data anymore.
First of all, I installed CM 13 beta, then CM 13 stable and some nightly builds. Nothing changed!
I installed AOPS Nougat 7.0 Beta2 few weeks ago on my C2005.
I had "CM13-UNOFFICIAL-20160104-NIGHTLY" and data did not work, I updated it to "stable-20160527-NIGHTLY" (via cmupdater) and nothing changed. After few months, I installed AOPS Nougat 7.0 Beta2 but I can not use the data yet. I installed Nougat Beta2 via TWRP boot manager and wiped everything (all the data, cache, etc.) .
There is few weeks I've installed CM 14.1 on my C2005 and updated it to some nightly builds but the problem still exists after several months and several Android versions.
I installed CM 13 "stable-20160527-NIGHTLY" on my wife's C2005 and the data works a charm! Even I tried to flash mine to that version but problem still exists to my phone even with that version.
The only different between my phone and my wife's C2005 is that I didn't install TWRP on her phone and just installed CM13 with it's own recovery.
I tried instructions described in this link and the problem has not not solved yet.
The last thing is when I enable mobile data (SIM 1 or SIM 2) the cross mark but it does not change to H+ or other marks that shows I'm using data (attached screenshot).
Is hardware problem possible for this issue?
How can I provide CM logs for this problem to find out what's wrong with my phone?
Does someone else have such a problem?
Any idea about debugging and providing some logs?

– Dual: no internet on 2nd SIM

Also, try flashing your device with official rom 4.3 again and try using internet on it. If it works you are doing something wrong in flashing other os, if not, it's device related.
Thanks for reply. Actually I can not use data on SIM1. It's OK for me and it shouldn't be necessarily on specific SIM.
I'm looking for another way of checking data rather than reflashing to official ROM and install CM again. Something like reading /var/log/something.log in Linux distros. Is anything like that possible on AOSP or CM?
No. You can try however reflashing and clean installing aosp 7 or cm14 again, alongwith with THIS patch for dual sim users. But before you install anything make sure you are on 4.3 firmware, or you are likely going to face the same problem again.
Data works on 2nd SIM.
Thank you all for your help.
Believe it or not, the data on 2nd SIM is usable, but 1st SIM.
It could be Edge or HSPA.
As the known bugs says, data is now work on 2nd SIM, I always tried to enable data on the 1st SIM, but few nights ago I had enough free time to check all the options and finally it worked!
(TL;DR available)
I have a Zenfone 2 (Z00A) and I used to have LineageOS (Android N 7.1) installed, however after some time I noticed the SIM Card wasn't getting detected anymore. At first I tought it was Lineage, so I updated it to the latest experimental, still, nothing. Then I decided to test the SIM in another phone with the same version of Lineage, with my old Zenfone 5, and the SIM still worked. So I reset my Zenfone 2 back to stock ROM, stock Bootloader, stock everything, and the SIM worked. Still thinking it was Lineage, I installed Ressurection Remix, which also requires the MM Bootloader, and the SIM didn't work once again.
*** TL;DR ***
I believe the MM Bootloader is causing the phone to not read the SIM card. It only happens with this provider, since other providers' cards are still recognized. It's very weird. Any help is fairly appreciated.
(This is my first thread and english is not my primary language so sorry for any mistakes.)
1) Which stock ROM does it work with , surely its MM bootloader ?
2) Which TWRP did you have installed.
3) Depending on Which TWRP you do have and what stock ROM (answers from 1&2 above) , you back up stock rom which works , back up in TWRP and simply restore it, a two minute job .
Depending on all answers above...
Try slim7 ROM till linos is fixed . RR is based on linos.
Latest linos does take approx 5 mins to register sim after reboot, don't touch device , leave screen / display setting to half hour and watch it connect without touching the phone.
This question should be answered in thread of ROM development you had trouble with , reading related threads is also wise .

1) I am currently running SuperZen which is based on Android L, works fine.
2) 3.0.2 and I tried with older 2.x.x versions too, no success.
3) Can you specify a little more? A bit confused with what you mean.
I will try LineageOS once again, and shall also try Slim7.
I posted this here since I didn't, and still don't, beleive this has to do with the ROM, but with the Bootloader itself.
I read a lot of threads, including the one you sent me, tried everything without success.
Thank you for now!

Backed up, completely wiped, installed MM Bootloader and flashed Slim7. No SIM. Set Sleep Timer to 30 minutes, rebooted, unlocked screen and left the phone for 10 minutes. No SIM. Did it again but this time didn't even unlock the phone, no SIM. Completely wiped and flashed LineageOS, same process, no SIM. Even went further and tried CM13 (Android M), same process and still no SIM. At this point I am 99.9% sure it is the MM Bootloader that is causing the issue, because as soon as I fallback to the L Bootloader and flash any L ROM, like Stock ASUS or Super ZEN the SIM works fine.
Try stock M , there's been about 6 stock updates in stock M

Not sure where I can find Stock M, but I found an update on ASUS' Website, Firmware version UL-4.21.40.144 that is Brazil specific, wonder if it has something to do with the SIM not working.

are you from Brazil ?
It shouldn't by rights , yes there was probs with Brazilians receiving signal but jrior dev , incorporated those fixes for Brazilians into CM which should be carried through lineageOS.
I don't have anytime right now but will help you update.
Watch you don't brick doing anything daft.

I was able to get the Official MM Bootloader installed, and SIM works fine. Not being able to install any MM-based ROMs tho, they all give Error 7: "This package supports Ifwi Versions: %2; 0094.0183;this device has Ifwi version ."
hi i have had the pleasure of using the developer oreo img and enjoyed it,but decided to reflash stock noughat img
until the official oreo comes out.heres where my issue started,after a successful flash and start up,my sim no
longer shows as inserted,i even tried a restore of my noughat back up.the only way my sim will work nowis with the
oreo stock img reflashed..anyone else have this isssue
Are you sure you flashed all the files included in the Nougat fastboot package zip? There must be an image called 'modem' and anoter 'dsp' which should take care of that.
Try reflashing the Nougat image once again.
I will try again
Having the same exact issue
Flashing the MR3 factory image results in no SIM card, same with fkashing MR1 @TheCrazyLex
EDIT: reflashed again the next day and it's now working....ugh annoying
Had exactly the same issue. Although on initial boot back to Nougat, everything worked fine.
It was only after a restart or two the SIM was then undetected.
I'm flashing stock Nougat again just now, hopefully that resolves it for me too.
EDIT. Ok I've now tried flashing multiple images, they all flash successfully and boot successfully, but none of them are detecting a SIM card.... any ideas anyone?
EDITS AGAIN: It would appear now working after flashing Oreo again, then back to Nougat. Very odd....
I want to lock the bootloader again, which is how I ended up in this mess, so I'm now flashing latest Global ROM again, rebooting and then attempting to lock the bootloader again.
I shall update with results.
any update in the same boat
I'm still having same issues,I'm just using Oreo which is working really well.only downfall I noticed is tethering doesn't seem to be working on it
Are you running the right image as Razer and Three have their own build so wanted to point this out as ThreeUK may not work right with the Razer build. i Remeber them saying something about making sure you use the right build
UPDATE - if anyone is having this issue.
--Take the Oreo preview and flash_all.bat via bootloader
--Let it boot and get in to Android just so you can enable debugging via dev options
--reboot to bootloader and flash_all.bat with the latest Three or Global image
--Again let it boot and enable debugging again
--Now reboot to bootloader, and do BOTH the following in fastboot:
---- fastboot flashing lock_critical
---- let it reboot and go back to bootloader again and perform the next lock
---- fastboot flashing lock
Once finally back in, only then did I have a locked bootloader + working SIM card.
Hope this helps someone.
Locking the bootloader doesn't fix things lol. I was on Oreo yesterday and flashed back to nougat and had signal and relocked the bootloader then 10 minutes later .y phone rebooted and lost sim. Only was to get it back was flashing Oreo then booting then flashing nougat mr1 and got my sim back. Then I locked bootloader and took the ota and now I'm back to normal and can take otas again
This is such a weird issue. like for instance I went back to MR1 from Oreo and had signal but when I picked the bootloader and ota to MR3 it was gone.then just unlocked bootloader flashed MR3 still nothing. So went back to Oreo and it worked and then flashed MR1 again and randomly worked even after the ota to MR3
So absolutely random.
hi i found a simple way to solve this issue.all i did is use the global 7.1.1 nougat factory img.but before flashing via the flash all bat.swap out the modem img from the nougat folder with the one from the oreo developer one.worked first time and after several reboots.hope this helps....
just an update i just installed recovery,magisk without issues too
SIM card issue
Hey @parky169, @Roxas598, @linuxct, @kickassdave, @joemossjr
Thanks for posting about this issue that you saw about the SIM not being detected. Our engineers would like to learn more about this and EXACTLY what happened. Can you please PM me with the details:
What carrier you guys are on?
What was the previous build you were on before you flashed the Oreo developer build?
Can you please walk me through EXACTLY what happened that caused the SIM to go undetected
Were any APNs changed prior/after?
Were any changes made to the files or phone (rooted, custom ROM, etc.) prior to flashing the O build?
How did you resolve this situation? Is this repeatable?
Thanks again for testing the developer build! Please PM me if you run into any more issues!
Best,
Khanger

Same issue as the rest. I wonder if this will work with the Oreo OTA modem img, I'm gonna give it a shot. I will report back
EDIT: Well there is probably no reason it shouldn't have worked I would assume the modem images are identical in 8.1 Dev and 8.1 OTA, but it does work by putting the 8.1 MR0 OTA modem img in the 7.1 MR3 and flashing. Honestly i ws too lazy and didn't want to wait for the Dev image to download and I already had a copy of the 8.1 OTA ON MY pc.
Hi
I had the same issue, I updated the APN settings from the carrier's website (three) and everything went back to normal!

I can't edit or add any APN setup - nothing happens after saving new or edited APN items.
How did you do that?

Any update on this? I am in the same boat after standard OTA update. Can not save apns either. (at&t)

Thanks for finding a fix. I was worried my phone was jacked up. I was having the same issue. I wanted to downgrade from Oreo since there is an issue with HDMI not having audio. I got signal now whoooo
Hi
I was running Resurrection Remix on my S9 but due to my job I kept knocking the screen and pocket dialling random people.
So I wanted to revert back to another rom I had previously backed up as it had prevent accidental touches as a feature to prevent any further pocket knocks.
Yet once restored my IMEI had been lost and all three backup were now useless as it had lost the EFS Backup?!?
I had managed to get my phone working but smart switch had decided to put a v2 (binary 2) bootloader on.
Now when I attempt to boot any lineage based rom I am stuck at the bootscreen.
I have wiped everything, formatted data (by typing yes), and even tried dm verity and flashing twrp bootloader to try and trick the phone yet to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution or do I have to now wait until lineage based roms catch up with v2 boot images? (As most are on BRE5/8).
Thanks
Probly gotta wait till they update it. Odin back to stock
UPDATE: I have managed to get the phone to boot lineage.
I succeeded by flashing lineage, gapps, magisk and BRE5 Vendor zip file.
Seems to be all good.
[ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS]
So I've been using LineageOS 16 for a while on my 'OnePlus 3' (not one plus 3t)
And with a recent update.
https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_oneplus_oneplus3/+/250172/2/board-info.txt
I was required to update my modem/firmware.
I probably should have done research on this firmware, as it messed up my data partition and I lost everything :'(
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/brvpey/psa_33t_owners_with_an_unlocked_bootloader_dont/
Anyway, I wiped everything, and reflashed the os and gapps,
But now I've found that my phone is not recognizing my sim card.
Wifi seems to be acting up too, and my phone would sometimes randomly shutdown (80% battery)
I got the firmware from here:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/oneplus3-modem-firmware/
Stable9.0.3_Firmware_Modem_OnePlus3
Md5: 1D2297E0F62B33B8F20F4AC02C217DBE
And I even tried the beta, but both had the same issue,
So, I flashed the latest 8.0 modem/firmware, Along with 'lineage-16.0-20190615-nightly-oneplus3-signed'
and it seems to be working fine now,
no reboots+sim card working+good wifi.
However this means I'll be stuck on this os version, until they change the firmware requirement.
Anyone know a way to get 9.0.3 firmware working on Los 16.0?
Phone: Oneplus A3000
Sim: USA t-mobile
----------
Edit: (I wish I could rename this thread..)
I've done more testing with The newer versions of Lineage OS 16 , and this is what I have found:
* Later 'L OS' versions, with older modems also Don't work with my sim card.
* However, the newer modems/firmware work fine with older version of 'L OS', so it sounds like this may be a bug with the later builds.
* If you're upgrading firmware and you don't get the "Encryption Unsuccessful", but you still can't log in because your pin/pattern is not working:
1- downgrade your firmware.
2-disable your pin/pattern.
3- flash new Firmware,
4- now you can access your phone on the new firmware
* If you're having an issue where you can't access all of your internal storage "Not enough space to install app" or your file managers are not showing your files, Try one of the solutions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/7k1thi/cant_access_storage/ 'Fix contents' worked for me
