P8 Lite unstable after update PRA-LX1C432B164 using SIM cards by MTN - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After applying the latest update to P8-Lite, it became unstable when trying to use SIM cards by MTN (first one then another). It becomes nearly impossible to use the phone even in settings because the screens keep going back to the previous screen and "no service" comes up and a SIM icon in the top shows up. This happens only when inserting an MTN 4G SIM card. The Orange SIM card works OK. The same MTN SIM card words in other phones OK.
This happens only after the update and it happened on two P8-Lite phones purchased in the last 2 weeks. The phone was stable with both MTN and Orange SIM cards inserted until I updated the system. After installing PRA-LX1C432B164 update it would register with the carriers and after about 10 seconds "no service" appears on both carriers and whatever menu I am in goes back to the previous screen. It is a race for time to try to set items in the settings to see if there might be a settings problem. The phone is simply unstable.
The update was done through the built in EMUI interface on the phone and while connected to Wi-Fi.
When I remove the MTN SIM card the phone becomes stable.
First question: am I able to change a setting to keep this build number or do I have to revert back to a previous build?
Secondly: Where do I find the previous build to the PRA-LX1C432B164? Unfortunately I don't know the previous build because I didn't write it down.

Check this out. Not all builds are available but it may help

Thanks. That is helpful.
However, I am not sure out of this list how to tell which one is the prior version to the update I just installed. Where could I go to find a list of firmware releases for the Huawei P8 Lite PRA-LX1 phone? Also, is there an explanation on the numbering system?

Yes there is. C432 is the region, which I will assume is Europe come by the 2015 model (ALE) and the number after B is... you guessed it: the build number.

[Q] Voice: out of service. S5-G900F

someone save me please... I've been struggle for two weeks...
I'm using S5-G900F, its a Hongkong version, and I'm currently in UK with giffgaff. last month I tried few new rom and then I can't use voice service any more. However I still have internet. Some detail below:
APN
1. I 100% sure its not an APN problem
IMEI
1. IMEI seems ok, start 4 digit 3524****
SIM card related
1. At first I assume it's a SIM card related problem, I tried 2 SIM with different ISP, neither work.
2. Also, I put those 2 SIM on my iphone4 to verify that the SIM is good, and both card work.
3. I also checked the SIM card cable, I put one piece of paper above the SIM to tight the contact, still doesn't work.
Phone related
1. Before I brought the phone, I had check the bands it supports, and it is capable to used here. And the phone work perfect (well, with stock firmware its really slow) before everything happen.
2. Since I brought this phone in HK and now I'm in UK, I tried to flash both latest UK and HK firmware (lollipop), neither work.
3. I also tried only flash baseband from that two firmware plus one old-version baseband. none work.
4. For those flash mentioned above, I do full wipe.
Rom
The rom I tried list below (in time sequence)
1. XtreStoLite (the BL/baseband is extract from Brazil stock firmware. After that problem occur, but I didn't realize)
2. CM12 (this two are all from this forum)
3. TGY-G900FZHU1BOA1-20150120092320 (HK stock firmware, 5.0. Try to recovery the voice)
4. BTU-G900FXXU1BOB7-20150223084756 (UK stock firmware, 5.0. Still trying)
5. Also 2 baseband/BL from XtreStoLite thread (Another is an old-version. Still).
So now for everyday, I had to carry two phone... one just to make sure I don miss any call.... I have tried and still no clue... really need some help here.... Help please...

Can anyone help me please....
Was the phone service working for you before you tried a new ROM?
I have the same issue. Can't make or recieve calls. Internet is working though.
When you try to call someone, do you get 'call ended' message almost immediately after dialing out?
Also, when you go to phone / settings / additional settings (or more settings) - does the 'network or sim card error' pop up?
Can't figure this out... Hopefully someone would be able to point us to right direction, other than to replace it
And of course I did a factory reset, new roms, modems, everything there is to try. nothing helped
could it be because of Region Locking? Maybe it's locked again after flashing?. I want to buy this phone but I am not sure if it will get region locked again after it gets updated or custom flashed.

Yes, before I flash those ROM everything goes well. I'm currently using CM12 so I don't have the setting you mention. But anyway I never seen that pop message before. I guess the SIM card work good as the phone can connect to the internet (not wifi, cellular internet).

Nokia 6(TA-1000) cellular network not work after Android Oreo

I just upgrade my Nokia 6(TA-1000) to official Android 8.0.0 (Oreo).
Then my Cellular network won't work anymore.
I live in Hong Kong, using sim card service "CMHK".
I think it is LTE/WCDMA mode.
Tried "*#*#4636#*#*" and changing the settings.
But the connection always shown IPv4: Failed(2)
The phone notification show it is connected and running 3G network.
But the upload/download speed is always 0KB/s.
Reset to factory setting already.
Before upgrade Android everything work fine.
Anyone have the same problems?
Now, what can i do....?
It seems I can't even downgrade my Android.
Only, have to wait for next update and hope it will fixed?
I think i am screwed.

No, there is a lot difference between system reset(soft reset) and recovery reset (hard reset)
Try it, may be it solve your problem

Have you tried other SIM cards, whether you work in your cell phone! Tried to register your network operator service in the settings! Set preferred network ~

I use official update.
All firmware should be correct?
BTW, I get a new sim card from ISP but cellular network still not working.
Also, tried both sim card slot 1 and slot 2 nothing work.
May be new system not compatible with my SIM card service only which is "CMHK" aka "中國移動香港".
Hope next update will fix that...

NOKIA 6
hi,
i updated my nokia 6 TA-1000 to oreo update.
i faced many issues like lte not working.
in battery saver mode launcher is stopping suddenly.
it is not detecting the sim correctly.
i didnt get network signals correctly.
Then i tried to hard reset my mobile ,after complete reset and after rebooting it stopped at language selection,i clicked lets go many times but it is not working .it got stucked there.
is there anyway to get rid of it.i asked for nokia chat support but they are asking me to take mobile to nearest service center.
if there is any solution please guide me with it .thank you in advance.
I just turn off the cellular network yesterday.
After I wake up from bed, my phone Google service can not connect from wifi(can't use email, Google store).
BUT! After reinsert my sim card and turn back on cellular network, everything working now.
Both 4G cellular and Google service all good.
May be some part of the network is cached.
So, if you encounter this problem just turn off cellular network and wait.

It seems that, the old slot 1 cached your sim card.
So, you change to slot 2 work, but you can't use SD card.
And I found that if you wait a long time the cache will clear.
You can try to insert sim card back to slot 1 after 1-2 days.

The only option was left to flash stock firmware, but as it updated to oreo, its bootloader has also been updated so I will suggest you to wait for official oreo firmware to release, please don't try to downgrade your device for now, it can brick your device very badly, keep patience, if any solution will come out, we will definitely tell you

Yes, I got it fixed...
1) Just turn off your cellular network.
2) Wait for 1-2 days.
3) Turn on your cellular network again, it should work.
How can I off cellular network. Will keeping it in flight mode helps?

Thank you for raising this question. My phone got the same problem. I am just wondering if I should send it to maintenance center but I guess they will just do reset.
And by saying "turn off cellular network and wait for 1-2 days", do you mean by just turning off the data usage, or turning it to flight mode/ turning the phone.

Axon 7 Mini not working oversees

Hello, hoping someone can help out, I bought a AXON 7 mini hoping to use it in Iraq, but it does not seem to want to register on any network outside the USA. In the USA I was using a Tracfone T-Mobile SIM and the phone worked great. As I traveled across Europe the phone would not connect to any networks (Germany and Turkey), I figured it was just the SIM not allowing roaming. When I got to Iraq I purchased a Korek SIM and still no dice. I phone sees two networks but will not show any service. I have tried SIM cards from other phones with active service and still nothing. I have even tried a SIM card from ASIACELL and still no dice, it sees the providers but will not show service on the network. When I click "automatically select network" the phone response "registered on network" but still no service. I have tried the usual reset all the way down to a factory reset.

Flashing EU ROM
Could I safely flash the EU Firmware located here, https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7-mini/development/firmware-stock-firmware-t3696538 safely to my device. From what I have seen this may fix the problem.
Thanks, Jeff
Fixed, the long way

Phone now seems to be fully functional with aid of a lot of reading an testing. I can also replicate the issue consistently. The original issue seems that the pervious owner, or ZTE set the operating band to "United States." Once this has happened the seems to be locked to USA networks, even though it still sees the other networks. Using *#*#4636#*#* method, you can try to change the band, but only 2 options are there "800 cellular" and "United States," I tried to change to 800 but get the response "unsuccessful." So for the fix!
Thanks to all the hard work here, I was able to install the boot loader unlock update for my phone found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7-mini/development/unlock-official-bootloader-unlock-t3690496
I then proceeded to install TWRP, backed up the entire system, and then installed Linage. Then used *#*#4636#*#* and the band now had a third option of "Automatic," selected that and bingo, service in Iraq. Recovered the phone with the backup and the fix stuck. Of point in Lineage there is five options in the band selection, 2 options are duplicates (USA and Auto), I assume for each SIM, and you have to select both autos otherwise only one SIM will work.
This probably could have been fixed with a ROOT application that allows you to enable additional bands, but I was never successful in ROOTing my phone.

Problem with SIM Card

Hi guys!
I'm from Venezuela, I recently acquired a Nexus 6p (h1511), so yes, I'm a noob. When the cell phone arrived in Venezuela, I connected it to the Wi-Fi network without placing a SIM card, and there was an update notification, I executed it, anyway it already came with Oreo 8.1, the update was December, the one that had It was November. After updating the SIM of the operator Movistar, recognizes it since it says "Without service - Movistar", when trying to call it shows the error "Mobile network not available", when trying to do a network search, it gives error, sometimes to one side of the signal bar, appears an R (Roaming I guess) ... I've been doing a lot of research, believe me I would not be creating this post if I was not so desperate, I have many doubts
I took it to a technician, he looked at it and said it was CDMA that there was nothing to do, he wanted to sell me a GSM motherboard, I told him I would think about it, it was strange for me to be just CDMA, I investigate more and I realize that it's dual, and it changes from MEID to IMEI when I put the SIM card ... I did a factory reset and it did not work. I used the options in *#*#4636#*#* the default is LTE/CDMA/UMTS Auto (PRL) ... I tried to put GSM Only or Auto or any option that included GSM. Without apparent results, I think that it did not even change the default option, the radio bands are few, all from the USA (logical being the USA version of the cell phone) ...
Investigating further, I understood that the problem persists in Android Oreo ... Under the official firmware of Google 7.1.2, I follow the steps, I do the unlocking bootloader, flash vendor / radio, flashing system, in the end there is an error , something about user, I really do not remember, something like that could not erase the user partition or had no permissions ... The issue is that I turn on the cell phone, start to do an erasure, then start asking for google account, etc. ... I configure it, but I see everything the same, I enter the configuration and details of the team, it keeps dialing android 8.1.0, but I see that the base band has changed, some apps have changed, like the application of calls ...
Does anyone know what happened? (And no, the SIM problem was not fixed) :crying:
I want to install this ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/development/rom-chroma-11-08-2015-lockscreen-navbar-t3244444
According to many sites and here in XDA comment that it solves the problem, but this is 6.0.1 ... It means that I must flash 6.0 stock? To install the custom? Or can I install on 8.1?
Any other more updated custom rom that solves this problem?
Thank you! :fingers-crossed:

Help does not work dual SIM and does not recognize SIM when restarting.

hello friends I would like to request your help since I acquired my redmi note 7 in TELCEL MEXICO specifically the model M1901F7H but it came preloaded with all the undesirable trash of applications of said company and also it did not recognize the second SIM although in the box of the equipment a second IMEI appeared , so I decided to release the bootloader and proceed to install the global ROM of Xiaomi 10.3.6 the whole process was easy but when reviewing my computer already running the ROM 10.3.6 new I already appears the second IMEI dialing * # 06 # but the second SIM still does not work and also when restarting the device does not recognize the SIM and I have to remove and re-enter the SIM again so that it works every time I restart in advance thank you very much for any help you can provide
First thing: Your post is too messy, there's a button on keyboard called "enter", please use it.
Second thing: You can verify if your IMEIs are legit right here https://www.mi.com/global/shield/#imei_en, try checking if both IMEIs are legit and match the same device you are using.
Third thing: Have you tried the Hardware testing on your device? Just tap kernel version(on about phone tab) a few times to open the menu for testing.
Fourth thing: You flashed the latest global Stable ROM yourself(10.3.6)? That part is not very clear, did both SIMs work before you flashed the ROM?

hello sorry for my way of writing but what happens is that I use Google translator.
1.- I have verified the 2 IMEI numbers that the team gives me when dialing * # 06 # in the page that you mention and they are correct, they belong to the same team, they are also the same ones that appear in the package.
2.- I have applied the test and with 2 sim on the team and gives me error at SIM 2.
3.- if I flashed the stable global ROM 10.3.6 since the team brings a ROM modified by TELCEL which covers the second SIM and the second IMEI.
4.- after flashing the global ROM the computer works very well, it is updated and all the only bad thing is that every time I restart the computer I have to remove and put the SIM tray back so that it grabs the network and the 2 SIM still does not work
