Installed dual sim feature on single sim phone - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi i'm new to the forum,
Today i flashed a custom rom for my galaxy s7 edge SM-G935F and it installed the dual sim feature, now i have no signal and i cant do anything to delete the dual sim feature.
Tried already to flash stock and erased everything but still its on my phone.
Can someone help and tell me how to disactivate it ?
Thanks for every help !

I have already formatted everything (data, system, factory reset etc...) in twrp and flashed the right rom for my phone with odin but the dual sim feature is still there and i don't have signal.
Smart Switch says that it doesnt support SM-G935FD for initializing and the strange thing is my phone is a SM-G935F not a SM-G935FD (duos) but i'm sure every rom i flashed was for galaxy s7 edge. So one of the roms i flashed changed my phone to SM-G935FD. Am i screwed ? Pls help
If my english is bad pls don't correct me my native language is not english and i'm not using google translate.

Odin3 v3.12.3 and in Samfirm i have put in the model tab SM-G935F and in the Region tab my region code. And i noticed something i don't have an imei and s/n anymore on the phone... :/

I think your problem is with the imei itself which happened by flashing wrong csc in that firmware your flashed check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3379516

I did that already my friend and it didnt work... I think it has to do that my phone thinks i have 2 sim cards and 2 imeis which i never had thats why its bugged and i dont know how to deactivate the 2 sim card function.
Only for some info to you experts out there who want to help me i found out that in the king of nougat rom theres an option which says : "Stk2 - for dual sim variant" i think thats the option that bugged my phone can't i deactivate that with editing a file ? If you guys need more info about my phone i will give you everything just ask me.
Btw thanks for all you guys who tried to help me it gives me hope to recover my phone.

So you only have one correct imei in the imei information and second slot in unknown or you have no imei in both slots?
If you have on correct imei have you tried to turn of second sim card in sim card manager in setting?

Did You flash only AP in odin or all files including CP, BL, CSC?
You should flash all of them.

That's weird. But You could try flashing G935F firmware through odin with pit file. Maybe that would help.

Okay downloading pit file right now i'll tell you if it worked. Yeah for me its also very weird normally it should go away with wiping everything but it didn't.
So now i have flashed the pit file and its still not working.

Flash back to the G935F ROM of your region, and take your phone over to a repair store, give them the IMEI of your phone and the S/N (they'll be written on the box), and tell them to re-flash them. It seems your EFS partition has gone corrupt, when you flashed the wrong file.
I know how you feel, I did the same thing with a phone of mine once, I felt like crap afterwards, don't worry about it. This kinda sh*t happens to all of us. Just be glad nothing else happened and the other hardware still functions correctly.
Good luck bro, and be more careful next time when flashing.

Technically you can fix it, but you'd require some specialist tools that cost a somewhat hefty amount and usually the only people who keep them are phone repair stores.
No matter how much of an expert one can be, without an EFS backup, you can't restore your IMEI. In older phones like the GS4, if your IMEI was wiped with a bad flash, flashing the modem twice and doing a hard reset would bring it back, unfortunately it's not that easy now.
Anyway, mistakes happen bro. Don't worry too much about it. It's annoying to go to a phone store, but just remember, it'll be a lesson in the future for us all. Always make a backup before flashing, anything goes wrong, restore the backup and you'll be safe.
Samsung service center will be able to see that KNOX is void and it's 0x1, so they might charge extra.
For ordinary phone repair or software specialist stores, they won't really care whether it's rooted or not, they'll just use their tool to flash the IMEI and S/N back to your phone.

(Help) Note 4 bricked, unable to mount data

Hi guys, i have some big problems with my n910f, tried to upload a pic to facebook and my phone crashed.
It simply does nothing, not booting, not charging, download and stock recovery are working.
I tried everything possible>
*flashed 3 different stock firmwares with odin
*tried a pit file repartion in odin
*wiped cache, did a few factory resets from stock revovery
*bought a new battery
*tried to root and flash a custom recovery but doesnt work
It is simply as bricked as it could be, the only information about this i have is stock recovery telling me unable to mount /data
So it seems my filesystem got corrupted as hell
The question is, how do i repair it?
Like i said pit file and bootloader flash did nothing, odin lets me flash everything without an error but it doesnt help.
I assume i could somehow repair it with adb fastboot but how?
Any help is welcome!

It may or may not help but I would sure try Kies. You NSFW get done errors like Kies telling you is not compatible bit but I would try the firmware initialization.

Well i forgot to mention that i tried kies aswell, everyhting went good but didnt help, still nothing.
It confuses me a bit that it doesnt even charge, could a broken filesystem lead to this?

its the only thing i haven't already tried.
I manage to fix the issue with storage partition, i used a pit file and the one file firmware in csc button, that made the hole data partition rewriten again so the phone is able to boot properly.
Hope you gays this may help.

Changed csc, lost signal, need help

Hello, yesterday i bought used samsung galaxy s7 edge dual, sm-g935fd. It was rooted, owner said root was done to flash a rom to let phone see two sims. Went back home, started to install apps, and saw that snapchat doesnt work with rooted phone, so turned superSU, chose full unroot, phone did restart but stuck on bootloop. All I saw, was csc:g935f0xx1bph1 and pda:G935FXXU1BPLB. Could't find matching pda and csc roms, so installed another, for g935f, and everything worked fine, except from network, it only says emergency calls only and no signal, but it finds that my sim is from tele2.
On other thread i saw that i can use home_csc for my csc code, and any other pda, bl, ap, tried that and odin failed to flash it, so now flashed netherlands stock rom that changed my AP:G935FXXU1DQEF CP:G935FXXU1DQD7 CSC:G935FPHN1DQD1 Model: SM-G935F/DS.
Can you guys help me to get my network signal working again? I think that matching software for my phone would fix it, but i cant find which one to flash, or is there anything else that could have caused that?
Thank you for your help.

Sounds like your EFS is corrupted...
*Encrypted File System (EFS) | The EFS refers to a folder called EFS which can store information like meid, imei, serial number, config, diag settings and radio settings, etc in an encrypted format at the file system level stores. So it is very neccessary for us to backup EFS before flashing ROMs.*

i dont think that they can help me. I am not really good in flashing, because english is not my native language so i dont know what kernel means, whats the difference between firmware and software, and even rom, but i think that i have wrong bl/ap/csc/pda or something like that. Found that F in sm g935fd means it is international, looks like i can flash any country unbranded stock rom, but somehow it wont work for me, and i cant believe i did that much damage just by clicking on unroot in superSU app..

Wifi and Bluetooth Problem!

Flashed Phoenix,used several days,suddenly wifi disconnected then in a few seconds connected again,it looped and I rebooted to find wifi isn't working at all,stuck at opening and grey button.
Then I flashed back to morphose,still the same.
So I flashed via Odin the latest Chinese official firmware(ZC???OH2) with 11G pit.This time I got about 15 mins of stable connection.After that the problem occurred again,exactly the same.:crying::crying:
Below is what I have done:
Pressing around the sdcard (it is said to be where the wifi chip is located,and it maybe caused by poor contact)
Reboot a thousand times
Changing kernel(kingz,stock,voltaqe)
Wiping cache and Dalvik
Mortifying build.prop to ro.securestorage.support (maybe not exact)from true to false(said to be a solution)
Forgot to mention :
1.the firmware was a repair firmware(five .md5 files)
2.in that firmware not only wifi but also Bluetooth fails to open
Download the latest single tar.md5 file from sammobile.com or updato.com and flash again. Don't forgot to perform a factory reset from stock recovery before letting the stock ROM boot for the first time.

Thanks for your reply
Should it be 8gb pit or 11gb?
And should it be my region or just the latest firmware no matter from where?
Flash the version for the region that the phone was made for.
Pit file is not needed unless Odin can't read the phone partition information.

Sorry for bothering again,but i found it was made for Europe.On updato there seems to be no region "europe",only Germany.So which one shall i flash?
Thanks in advance☺
You can try one for Germany. If it is not made for your phone, Odin will halt the flash process.

I began to wonder if it is correct that the device is European,for it was bought in offical China mainland market?But imei also showed that?
I am such a noob at coping with this kind of weird issue
Anyway i will download both ones and give a try in several days,the download speed is rather slow from updato:crying:
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using XDA Labs
Wait, if it was purchased in China, it's probably made for the Chinese market and will need the firmware version made for one of the Chinese carriers. Odin will not flash non-China firmware on a made-for-China phone.

Attachment is my imei searching result,it is shown made for Europe.Besides,I remember flashing other region firmwares and booted normally
And with China baseband I have very bad signal but after flashing other ones it is far better...so I guess it might be a phone wrongly sent to China market or something like that?
The connection to updato is so unstable that I still haven't finished downloading?
Edit:screenshots removed
Boot into download mode and confirm that the phone is a gt-i9500. If it is, flash the latest ROM from sammobile.com or updato.com for the 9500. You'll probably be okay with any ROM from Europe.
Don't flash with a pit file as a pit file is only needed if you need to re-partition the internal memory for some reason or Odin cannot read the phone's partition information.

No,still no luck at all,wlan still does not work...Whats more in germany firmware i also get "com.android.media has stopped"
This is killing me,my network provider uses TD-SCDMA for 3G,but i9500 don't support that,so i can only use EDGE network,which is extremely slow.Anyway maybe I'll get another phone next month:victory:

Finally discovered something new.I am on miui8,when charging to 100% wifi connects,and it wont disconnect even unplug the cable until you do a reboot!Dont know if it works on other roms,but it does throw new light on the issue.
But...how does this happen?
This is very strange. I've never come across this situation with any phone.

Thank you!It is said that Wifi and bluetooth are on the same chip,so if bluetooth is now always working even wifi is broken then it cannot be a hardware failure,can it?
It could be a hardware failure but now I'm not sure since you got it to work on a custom ROM.

After testing for an afternoon I discovered:
Wifi will be unable to use the moment battery drops to 81%,it doesnt turns off,but simply shows no item in the list.
If I plug the charger and restart wifi,then it works properly.
If I restart wifi without charging,wifi will be stuck and I have to charge then reboot the phone to get it on again.
Wow, this is even more strange.
Do you have a cell repair shop that can diagnose it for you?

Yeah,but i'd rather get a new phone if it takes much time or money to repair it.The phone is still my daily driver,though i love it,it is indeed out of date,plus the problem.Getting something like a Redmi 5A might be a better choice?Moreover the rom is not that stable,battery life is also poor,but i dare not flash another rom for fear that wifi gets totally broken.
Thanks again for your time?
In this case, have you looked into getting a used motherboard?
I'm not sure where you are located but there is a big market in my city for used phones. When I need a motherboard, I look for people selling phones with smashed screens and working internal components.

I have a big problem with my S7 edge (G935F)... The problem begins when I forget to turn off the OEM security and then I did an update to my Magisk root... When I tried to reboot my phone it doesn't pass of the first logo image, meaning that I broke the "security", so I read about that and then I flashed a firmware, an official UK (BTU I guess) firmware and then I flashed TWRP via Odin to restore a nandroid that I did when I bought my phone... It restored the EFS partition/folder and when my phone reboots I had no network signal, no IMEI... I just tried everything (I hope not) and I can't give back my IMEI and my network signal... When I try to patch the certificate to recover my IMEI via Odin in the download mode it says: SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2. Binary:1
I don't know if I explained it because my english is too bad, but I tried, I know that someone else have the same problem than I because I saw it. Do you find the solution? I'm out of my country and I need it so much :crying:
Regards!

Thank you for answer me.
I did it with three diferent stock firmwares and the problem persists (no network signal) I think that is something with the EFS folder, I restored a backup of it but is the same, I have not signal yet, but thank you!
Try clean formatting

Hey brother it happened with me too, unfortunately, I had to format my internal storage to fix this, you need to flash the latest nougat firmware via odin with csc including bl and modem and then start in recovery then format and start phone, remember you would need to put the google account which was previously there in the phone to unlock and complete setup process (very important here)

Thank you! Do you know which Firmware I need to flash? Because I flashed a lot of firmwares and it didn't work! You would help me a lot if you give me the name of the one you used.
Here I have some screenshots of what appears in IMEI and SIM.

Download the latest firmware from https://updato.com (it's fast and reliable) then start in download mode, run odin with administrative privileges, select BL AP Modem and CSC (dont use home since we wish to clean fornat), and in odin uncheck auto reboot option, after the ODIN shows 'pass', disconnect the cord from pc, now you have to be very quick here since our battery is not removable, in order to shut down s7 edge from odin mode, all you have to do is press, volume down, volume up, home and power and as soon as it goes off connect the cord, the battery will show up and now it will be in charging state, after that disconnect the cord, (the phone is now clean fornatted and in off stage) and now boot into recovery to wipe data and cache using default recovery, then reboot phone and then log into your existing google account.
I know its tricky and maybe there's an ez way around it but this worked for me so I'm sharing
SOLUTION, thank you all for your answers!

I tried it at first instance but I could not because my Bootloader was updated to the "U2" version, what I did after that was search the Combination file updated to the U2 bootloader, after a long search I found it.
In resume, The solution is what the OP of that thread says but if you have the same problem like me with the Updated bootloader you need this file instead of the files that are shown there:

You already fixed the problem I guess, you only need to flash the same firmware that your phone had before flashing the Combination file.

Please let me know how this works for you with your G950U1. It had problems on my phone, but it could be a problem with my hardware.
I noticed that after installing, the software is identified as G950U, and not G950U1. Not sure if that matters though.
ok i got this to work to get back to a working state but to no avail i still have no imei no matter how i try . i also do not have anything show up in the service menu or any other of the menus except a few . i do not have a original back up of the imei nor can i get it to stick in the efs folder . i am really lost at the moment. all in all i have really learned alot about this s8 . i have flashed just about every available firmware to this phone i have even had twrp on it but now it is at a stage that i am in dire need of some tru know how . i am stuck with the binary 7 as i understand there is no going back from which means only u or u1 firmware is available there is no other with the 7 binary that i have found it will not read a sim or sd . if anyone has some help to offer again i would be very grateful for it . and thanx in advance for any help thrown my way . ps i'm not afraid to screw this phone up any more than it already is i have recovered from soft and hard brick already so i'm pre-prepared lol.

Imei is stored in a partition called sec I believe. They are also certificate wrote to this device which means you can't just rewrite it. There is u u1 and w firmware all bit 7 for your device. as for twrp I believe you mean safestrap as we have locked boot loaders
Best thing I can say is flash the absolute latest try to get correct base band for whichever firmware. If not may need a professional imei service that can write cert based imei but we don't discuss that here on xda
Ok that info helps get me to another stage lol and yes I meant ss . I have it back now on the u firmware got it acknowledging sna xaa spr . I think the imei is in there somewhere but what baffles me most I have nothing showing up in the service menu and I cannot log into Samsung on it .I can log in on my J737V. But also aside said still not showing baseband ims not registered and it will not register in the update part of settings. I don't really know what caused all this .But anyways thanks for the info I will be going through the info you provided. The slot for the help . Oh and if anyone needs any thing for this devise chances are I got a lot of it lol.
Use phone with Visible
I'm trying to use this factory binary to transition my phone from SM-G950U1 to SM-G950U so that I can put Verizon firmware on it and use on Visible (Verizon MVNO). I downloaded the binary linked above and extracted the tar file, but when using ODIN 3.12.7, I get an error message when trying to load it to the phone (it just says success:0 failed:1).

Thank you so much! With the modded 3.13 I was able to load the binary 7 combination file and then subsequently load the latest Verizon firmware downloaded from samfirm. This allows the phone to be used on Visible. I really appreciate your help.
I'm not 100% sure but If you have combination firmware on your device, perform a factory reset with combination firmware it very well may rebuild your IMEI partition. I've read somewhere that the combination firmware does that if your do a factory reset with it. Factory reset is in the settings menu after you flash and run the combination rom(Factory Binary), whatever.
