[Q] SIMs unreadable

Hi guys! A friend of mine got this strange and unexpected problem!
He was using the Cyanogen 7.2 stable and he screwed a little bit (don't know how really exactly) so I wiped his phone and reflashed the ROM 'cause it rocks
Before that he told me that after turned off the phone, he removed the SIM card (don't know why) and after he re-insert it and turned the phone on, the phone is no more capable to read any SIM card!
How do u suggest to proceed? I don't care what was the cause of this! I exclude a virus, at least there're free app virus-embedded in the play store!
Anyway I'd like to solve this ... what do u suggest?
Thanks in advance!

Reinstall and leave the SIM in the phone?

If you have not tried different SIM, then try to test the phone with a different SIM to see if the problem still exist. If no problem, then he needs a new SIM.

Then consider your N1 as a tablet, a very, very small tablet . Or you could send it into repair with HTC and get the motherboard changed

LTE Problem

Hi all,
Just want to know if anyone encounter similar problem like I do.
I am currently on Wind Mobile network in Canada, I used to get 4G network using the factory DOC4 firmware and baseband.
All the custom roms I flashed, only connect at H+ no matter which one.
I tried changing the sim with the provider and it still the same.
My Device:
Samsung SM-N900W8
Firmware and baseband (the newest DOC4)

Nope

Then find the configuration on your provider's website and use them. Should work fine just had the same issue

European languages for G935FD Dual Sim, please help me

Hello toto everyone,
I've just bought the dual sim version of the galaxy s7 edge, code G935fd and I'm really disappointed since there's no Italian language or other European language except English (UK).
So I'm wondering if there's another official firmware I can use to have the Italian language without losing the dual sim functionality.
Reading on other posts someone says it could be possible using the firmware for the standard G935f but I didn't understand exactly the way to do this.
Someone could point me in the right direction please?
Thanks in advance
Giuseppe

Thank you very much.
Just for information, should I root and/or unlock the phone before downloading this firmware?
Could you link please a page where I can the unlock/root/firmware upgrade procedure?

No, you don't really need to root or unlock. As for the method, you can use the Odin guide given in this thread.

Since you also have this Dual Sim version of the Galaxy S7 Edge and you are using this Uzbekistan firmware, could you confirm you have not lost any DUAL SIM function?

I have the UAE firmware that came out of the box, I'm waiting till Sunday, and if I don't get an OTA, I'll update using Odin. As for losing dual SIM functionality, people who have updated said it works fine. Lastly, please tell me how your update process goes since you are going to do it before me.

Please, before I try, could I ask you an important information please?
I've downloaded the firmware that you linked and there are 5 files:
AP
BL
CP
CSC
HOME
Should I use all of them or should I use only the AP file as showed in the guide?
Thanks

You need to use the first 4 files and put them in their respective columns, and then proceed to flash.

A quick question about dual sim for both of you: with dual sim, can you set a SIM preference to a contact or a number so that when you call, same Sim will always be used?

I'm not sure, I wanted to get the single SIM but in my region, only dual SIM is available. I'm using the 2nd slot for my micro-SD card.

I've just finished the download of the firmware and I've updated the smartphone with all the needed applications.
I also have made some calls I think using both the SIM and certainly I've used internet with both the SIM.
So I can confirm that the update procedure had a complete success, obviously now I have the Italian language and all the other languages are available and the dual sim functionality seems to be perfect.
So I want to thank all of you that with your suggestions made possible to achive this result.
Best regards to all of you.

@artic73 , Could you please confirm that you can assign a SIM preference to say either a contact or an individual number? E.g calling one of your friend from SIM1 & other friend using SIM2 without specifying which SIM to use every time?
I currently have to specify which SIM to use every time.. Which is bit annoying. There is no app yet (free/paid) that works on marshmallow making it even more annoying [emoji19]
If that works for you then I too would flash same ROM.

u can use MoreLangs (Language settings) from GPS with simple adb shell hack. No Odin, massive FW files, etc.

gsm wrking on xt1526 boostmobile

Well im not an expert on this but since i didnt found a tut or some help on how to use the xt1526 boostmobile on gsm, this is what worked for me. After uloking the bootloader, i flashed SURNIA_RETCA_6.0_MPI24.65-39_cid14_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC then at first boot i chose to copy the settings from my xt1525 from verizon, once it booted, it detected the sim and automaticly had gsm working, i will keep using the phone and post more results, thanks for reading and pardon my bad grammar.

A must read

Finally, I can finally write with a clear head after watching this bollywood movie.
Been searching for solution all over the web, couldn't find a precise solution yet or perhaps I could be the only one facing this.
I have a Samsung S7 Edge, with a Verizon carrier. The phone wasn't recognizing my sim network and kept on notifying I insert a Verizon Sim card.
Came across this post {GUIDE} Flashing the SM-935U firmware onto your Verizon S7 Edge and Rooting By dajmanjt, and followed it.:cyclops:
After successfully flashing the SM-935U firmware, the notification changed to No network connection, can't make calls, tried making an emergency call and it displays radio off.
Please, I need help!!! Need it to start recognizing my country's network (Nigeria).
Thanks

This isn't a must read ???

If the phone wasn't recognizing your sim card, have you tried other sim cards? If not why didn't you rma it?

it looks like a hardware issue instead of software imo. And you probably flashed the wrong CSC (country code) firmware.

You are right. Is it possible to download the CSC and flash it separately?
And I will also need help in downloading a suitable or a universal ROM that is compatible with all cellular network if there is something like that.
Thanks so far Fureedx

Try flashing a custom rom.... I think that would fix it.
