Make sure to backup and then erase the two modem data partitions as well. You can find the fastboot commands in the XML of the firmware packages.
Without behaviour might be not what you are looking for...

Modem file for dual sim
Can anyone please share modem file for dual sim model as I've accidentally selected radio band as USA and hence won't get the network in sim slot 1. Also, if possible, please share link to a step by step tutorial as I'm a novice. Also plz tell me if flashing is possible without using a pc and will the warranty of the phone get void. A prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
I think Flashify can flash without an external device BUT having the OS (Android) running with all the options for locks and alarms would scare me.
I do _think_ that flashing original Motorola signed binaries will not void anything, to be more precise: With a locked bootloader such procedure should be impossible.
Before you flash a baseband (modem; for which we'd need your current version - see "my phone"), I would recommend just erasing modem setttings. I suspect this is where the modem config is permanently stored so erasing it should set this to default.
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
I would assume that after you boot, your device crashes once - so it does for me after flashing the modem. Happens when I make the first call. So just try calling your mailbox or something.
Again, I can't and I won't gurantee anything. You warranty is void!
Here's the version of baseband my phone has got.
tinypic.com/r/2ntb49c/9
I strongly suggest you try the fix above before going after this. This reflashes your modem which might be unnecessary.
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
The modem files are in the download, the ones you are looking for are in:

Thanks a lot, erasing the modems did it for me.
Many thanks mate.
Great. You can hit the "Thanks" button if you appreciate it.
I could fix my phone by erasing modems, after doing that I performed a factory reset, but now I've another problem. Installing apk files takes longer time than it would take earlier, does it have to do anything with the problem I was facing earlier?
That does not make sense - it just takes longer on the Moto X; I've experienced the same...
But it was pretty fast before doing the reset, I tried further resets, both hardware as well as software, but to no avail. The installation process is very slow, it took Facebook app atleast 5 minutes to install from apk file. Even installs from market take time and it's annoying.
See my other thread just posted. Assume this is because installs need to be converted from Dalvik to ART.
I know it was a lot faster under e.g. 4.4.2. But you sure it was also for any device with 5+?
I used this device for 2 days before messing up with radio band, i didn't face this problem during those 2 days and i used a Moto g3 for three months, didn't face this problem with that either. And it's dead slow, like currently my fb app is updating in background, it already has taken 12 minutes and is asking for another 3 minutes for a 45mb update.
I guess getting this phone replaced is the safest bet for me, as i have witnessed one more problem. When i keep the phone aside and pick it up after some time i see some strange coloured vertical lines on display at the right with rest of the screen being black. It gets right only when i lock and unlock the screen with power key. Any idea what it could be?
Hardware issue?! I would try and see what happens when you reflash it to full factory but that's of course only what I would do.
I was trying to force 3G in my OP2 and used *#*#4636#*#* to enter testing menu.
Under that menu, I accidentally selected some other radio band and now one sim( SIM 2) is disabled(unable to find network).
I tried resetting phone to factory setting, but it didn't helped.
Also updated to latest OxygenOS 2.2.1, still one sim is disabled.
Please help....

Flash OxygenOS Zip via Stock Recovery
---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------
Before Flash Remember to Wipe All the Data
Hi,
My OnePlus 2 was running Exodus ROM, which had 2 Sim's: Vodafone (2G/3G) & other Jio (Only 4G/LTE).
I read a blog, that In order to increase the download speed from the Jio SIM, preferred LTE Band should be switched (from 3 to 40).
So, I pressed *#*#4636#*#*, >> Phone Info page >> three dot menu >> select radio band >> SELECTED Band mode 40.
Immediately after that,
Vodafone Sim stopped working in any of the SIM-Slots, But Jio sim (4G) was working in both the slots.
*****
Then I ran these commands in fastboot mode:
"fastboot erase modemst1 "
"fastboot erase modemst2 "
"fastboot erase cache"
Immediately, Both the SIM slots stopped working.
*****
Then I flashed "new-modem.zip" from benschhold (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847293158)
which makes SIM-Slot-1 work with both Vodafone & Jio,
But SIM-Slot-2 only detects the sim, but with 0 network bars i.e. "No service| Vodafone"
*****
Clean flashed OOS 3.0.2 via TWRP, but SIM-Slot-2 = "No service| Vodafone".
I tried to manually search for networks,
It shows all the networks 2G & 3G in my city.
But connecting to Vodafone network from the list, always fails.
I think the latching (on to network) mechanism of SIM-slot 2, is faulty.
*****
Then clean flashed Exodus 29/8 build, but no fix.
Later, dirty flashed Exodus 31/8 build, which was supposed to flash the correct radio/modem/baseband on my OnePlus 2, but SIM-Slot-2, still doesn't let the SIM latch on to the network.
*****
Today, flashed "old-modem.zip" from benschhold, which resulted in phone stuck in boot loop.
Started OnePlus 2 Toolbox on PC, & flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 via fastboot mode.
,successfully booted in TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery.
flashed "new+modem.zip" (by benschhold).
Phone is working again, but SIM-Slot-2 = "No service| Vodafone".
@Spannaa @RajaMu @thegreatlex @Gonnelli1355
Will stock reset to OOS 3.0.2 from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62973446&postcount=2
fix this SIM-Slot-2 / EFS / Modem problem ?
Also, while stock reset, can this happen without formatting the internal storage ?
As I have 35+ GB of pics/music/data, which will take a lot of time to backup !

Stock Reset to OOS 3.0.2 might fix your issue but it will completely wipe your phone so you'll need to backup anything you want to keep first.
Not sure why you wiped your EFS partitions without taking a backup first...

Thanks for replying back.
I'm downloading your fastboot.zip file (1.13 GB) right now (does the zip file also contain all steps, to flash correctly ?).
You mentioned in that post, that we can add REM command in .bat file to avoid format to data partition, can this be done with internal storage too ?
Also, I don't know what is EFS partition, & did not knew I had to back it up, before flashing custom ROM.
Anyways, can you tell, out of all the steps I did.
Which step actually made the SIM-Slot-2, to behave in this way ?
Was it, the "erase modemst1 & modemst2" in fastboot ?
Or
flashing new or old modem zip of benschhold ?
As at first step, selecting the band 40, only made the Vodafone SIM not work, but the both the SIM-slots were still working fine with Jio sim.
& Erasing modem st1 & st2, made both SIM-Slots stopped working.
& flashing new-modem.zip, actually made SIM-slot-1 work again (with both Vodafone & Jio),
Then why did this not work with SIM-Slot-2 ?
Logically, whatever made SIM-Slot-1 work, should also work for SIM-Slot-2 too (with slight modifications) ?
Will flashing a good/proper modem.zip make the sim-slot-2 work again ?
Rather than me, wiping my phone to OOS ?
What do you think ?

I don't think the fastboot zip will solve your problem as it only contains the rom and firmware. I'm not sure that even the Stock Reset to OOS 3.0.2 tool will either but it's worth a go.
Erasing modemst1 & modemst2 with fastboot is what's caused your problem but I'm not sure how to solve it.

I don't think he can fix that.
EFS has the information about the IMEI of a phone as far as I know.
No IMEI = No signal
A dual SIM phone has two IMEIs, and that probably explains why one is working after restoring one EFS...

But I did not restore any EFS,
then how come IMEI 1, is working fine, even after erase command,
I checked IMEI 2 = 0.
& I checked a lot of OnePlus One forums. (OnePlus 2 has a lot less threads)
It's mentioned many times, that erasing modemst1 modemst2, does not erase the actual IMEI info from phone. (As it's stored in some other deep partitions).
Modemst1 modemst2, are supposed to rebuild themselves, after they are erased.
Correct me, if I'm wrong.

On some devices they're rebuilt from a backup in the fsg partition but it looks like this doesn't work properly for SIM2 on the OP2.
I see you've posted this in a couple of threads in the OP forums too! Good luck - there are very few people over there that know what they're talking about so be careful before trying anything that anyone suggests.

Hi @osr.arora,
Unfortunately I do not think the stock reset will help you with this issue (as those partitions are not at all touched by the OnePlus Stock Reset), however I would strongly suggest you to take a backup and reset the device as a starting point.
Do you have a nandroid backup of your device (all partitions)? Even if it is an old one, try restoring them.
Sorry but I am out of ideas for getting this sorted.

No, that's for the OnePlus One - you'll end up bricking your phone if you use tools built specifically for another device.

Hi,
Could you tag the names of those few people, who have the actual know-how of technical issues.
LOL, I guess no one has solved this issue till now. Every thread regarding this issue on every site remains unanswered . I request the developers to try finding a solution to this problem. All the best ppl.
wrong radio band issue
Even I changed the band to band 40 however, I am getting the networks on both the Sim one being Jio and other being Vodafone. But the issue is I am not able to make calls from my vodafone number. There is no problem with incoming calls but out bound calls are not happening. JIO is working fine on both sim slots. Vodafone giving problem no matter if I switch the sim slots as well.
I moved my T-Mobile SIM card from my Nexus 6 to my never used, eBay purchase, 6p. The 6p does not detect the SIM card. I reinserted it multiple times with no luck. I don't know if it matters that I installed TWRP, Nitrogen ROM and Franco kernel, without the SIM in the phone?
The phone is otherwise fully functional.
Any ideas on what might be going wrong? The package slip that came with the 6p states, "Tested for Key Functions, Ready for Resale". I've contacted the seller for advice.

Probably should of checked it out before loading a custom ROM. That being said if the ROM is 8.0 I don't think the first version of the update is compatible with T-Mobile.
"8.0.0 (OPR6.170623.013, Aug 2017, Not for TMO/USCC/Fi)"
You should maybe try a stock ROM first. Get nexus root kit. There is an option to revert the phone back to stock. Might help.
Just a shot in the dark. May also be locked to a region. Good luck though.
I reinstalled stock Oreo. Now, I'm only seeing "No Service". I don't know if this is of significance, but when I check Settings - > System - > About phone - > Status, SIM status everything is blank. At least the SIM was detected. I didn't realize when I installed stock Oreo it would wipe out my SDcard.
The vendor image is used with Nitrogen was opr5.170623.007.img.
And I suppose the sim works in other phones?
It's hard to say what is going on. May just be in backwards?
Aside from the bootloop and battery issues the 6p has been awesome as far as loading ROMs. You never have to replace the bootloader so even if you break the recovery it can be fixed easily. Not the same for my sapphire unfortunately.
Anyways I would first say it may be a physical issue, Especially if the sim says it's blank. Again, good luck.
I believe it's just Android 8 and not the phone. Go through any 6p Oreo thread and will find one person with this problem. Solutions that where posted fingerprint/pincode security off before flashing, no encryption on first boot and solution that worked for me complete wipe of phone flashing stock Oreo. I haven't heard any direct answer on what the cause is and I think the first 2 solutions worked for people because they did a clean flash of stock Android 8 anyways.
Yes, the SIM works fine in my Nexus 6. I noticed under SIM status, it lists "No signal".
I installed the factory Nougat ROM and still no service.
Under SIM status in Settings, Network is Unknown, Signal strength is 0, Cellular network type is Unknown and Service state is Out of Service.

Is your IMEI field blank too in Settings? If the phone does not have an IMEI, the device may have corrupted EFS partition(s). Boot the device to bootloader (fastboot mode) and select "Barcodes". Is your IMEI there? Is your model a H1511 (US model)?
Put a known working SIM in the phone from a different carrier (preferrably not an MVNO), If that doesn't work, since your phone is new (to you) there is no harm in fastboot formatting these 3 partitions (system, cache and userdata) and then using the Google script (batch file) that comes with a full factory image. Not a factory reset, not manually flashing a ROM. One other possible scenario is that if the phone was previously used on ProjectFi, you may need to contact Google and have your phone's IMEI de-registered. Hopefully you get it working and won't be forced to return the phone.

Barcodes shows IMEI present and model is H1511. I ran the script in the full factory image for Oreo and then tried the same with Nougat. I didn't reformat the partitions prior to flashing ROM. Is this important or does the factory image replace them anyways?
I don't have access to another carriers SIM card.

The script uses fastboot erase which does not format the partitions. Formatting returns partition information, any errors and in some cases corrections. You did not mention IMEI within settings, both under "SIM Status" and "IMEI information". If present in bootloader, but not in settings, this may further point to a SIM card. Until you try (borrow) another carrier's SIM for 5 minutes you won't know for sure. At the very least you could get TMo to provision you new SIM. They should not charge you for this, and it may change your situation. There are many threads on this very same topic. Maybe searching those would give you another idea.

According to Google, the phone was purchased from them. They do not know if the phone is financed, as this would cause the IMEI to be locked. I'll try the T-Mobile store next.
Spent an hour at T-Mobile. The sales rep was determined to fix it, but in the end was unsuccessful. The Ebay seller issued an RMA and I dropped off at the P.O.. Will try getting another.

No, I meant the the Google-Fi the MVNO (carrier) not finance. If the phone was activated on Fi, it will have to be de-registered on their end. You still did not reply about IMEI present or not in Settings>>Sim info?

When I went into Settings, the IMEI was present, but no carrier information. The phone recognized the SIM card, but that was all.
In the chat session with Google Support, I did ask about Google-Fi and she wrote that she was unable to provide any information on that. She said the only information she could provide is where the phone was purchased.
I came across the same issue. Just flash your vendor.img using flashfire, this will fix everything.
Another fix for the no sim is too turn off security pin lock and reboot the phone. I take no credit for this find just spreading the good word. ?

Hi all
Here is my situation.
I am using a G900W8 with lineageOS14.1 with a cracked screen, SIM locked (old phone).
I am gifted another G900W8, SIM UNLOCKED (new phone).
I have already installed twrp and root the new phone.
I am thinking to migrate everything from old phone to new phone. What would be the best way?
I tried making a backup using TWRP(modem, system, data, boot, EFS) on the old phone and store to SD card but I cannot choose the file in the new phone in TWRP to restore.
Thanks in advance.
TWRP wont's see the other phone backup because of the difference of the serial numbers of the two phones.
You have to rename this folder name:
/TWRP/BACKUP/.......... /2018-02-6xxxxxxxxxxx)
and replace it with the serial number of your new phone.
How to know your new phone's serial number? ok just make a backup and it will generates the folder name you need. Delete this copy after writing down the serial number.
Hope that helps
reboots
I tried that with RR 6.02 ROM on klte (Samsung Galaxy S5, G900F). The ROM boots, but after a minute or so, I get an error message saying that process 'system' is unresponsive and a bit later, the device reboots and hangs in the startup animation forever. The ROM is rooted with Magisk 17.3, maybe that somewhere uses the device serial # as well?

Hi everyone.
I have a problem with a Samsung S4 GT-I9505 which I bought as used. The phone came with stock rom, and with baseband I9505XXUHOJ2.
Then I updated it to the latest stock rom for my country, which is I9505XXUHPK2-ITV, with Odin. After reboot and factory wipe everything, the phone info shows build LRX22C.I9505XXUHPK2, but baseband is still I9505XXUHOJ2, which according to letter coding, should be previous.
This phone does not register SIM, nor see the SDCARD. Thinking it was damaged, I even changed the sdcard+sim slot with a new one, without success. I suppose the baseband may be the cause of missed SIM registration to the network.
What do you think is preventing the baseband to be updated? I'm out of clues
Never mind. I finally updated baseband reiterating Combined Modem+NON_HLOS flashing. However I did not solve the problem with SDCARD and SIM

Sir, I followed your guide step by step. Now I have Stock-rom XXUHQK1, and the same for the baseband.
Unfortunately, the SIM and SDCard is not detected. I think it's an hardware issue. I have other S4 I9505 phones and they behave differently than this one.

If that is the case, it's relatively easy to replace the SIM card tray, provided the part is still available for purchase from Amazon or similar sites.

As I said in the first message, thinking it was damaged, I even changed the sdcard+sim card tray with a new one, without success. So the problem is not the card tray afaik.
When you swapped out the tray did you transfer to the new part the foam pad that sits atop the connection to the motherboard? If you didn't do that, you will have problems, especially the SIM not being recognized.
However, the foam doesn't result in an immediate disconnect but a gradual one. So, we have a few different possibilities here.
1. The SIM itself is damaged.
2. The device was unlocked by its previous owner using a service menu exploit, and when you restored the firmware you wiped the exploit.
3. The EFS partition is corrupted or lost.
The first can be easily tested.
The second? I ran into this exact issue myself: at the same time my SIM tray failed, which made resolving things challenging. It can be remedied by downgrading to an Android 4.2.2 ROM and running RegionLock Away by Chainfire.
The third? That one only Samsung can help with, as the EFS partition stores the IMEI and NV RAM of the S4, and unless you ran Wanam Partition Backup beforehand, there's no way to restore it.
With the premise that my problem is not limited to the SIM, but involves also the SD Card which is not detected when inserted, let me reply to your points:
1) The SIM is good and valid, as it registers to the network in another S4 I9505 which is fully operational
3) Before upgrading, I installed TWRP and made a backup of EFS partition. After checking the new EFS partition with the old, there are no differences beside a few bytes here and there, however nothing which reminds me an IMEI (they seem more like file date updates in filesystem)
2) Can you be more specific here, I never heard of this before. The previous owner, once contacted said he used this phone as daily driver until 2018. He live in my same country, and the stock firmware should have nothing locked or needing an exploit. Again, provided this would prevent SIM from registering, do you think this could also influence SD Card too?
I'm more and more concerned that the problem is hardware related. Pressing the SDCard slot connector to the mainboard, like other users have reported successfully, didn't change anything. Maybe the mainboard isn't giving the SDCard slot the correct powerage. I have seen on eBay other mainboards sold as not working with this very same defect, wifi working and SIM not registering.
