Looking for help with my U8800

Hello.
I'm really lost with my phone at the moment. I've tried to upgrade to several custom ROMs, but somehow there's always a thing that isn't working. I've followed the guides on this forum, but it looks like I got lost somewhere in the process and I did something wrong, since there are hundreds of topics and loads of information everywhere.
So, I'd really appreciate it if someone can tell me EXACTLY what to do to get my phone to a stable custom ROM (pref CM, but Aurora looks nice as well) from my current phone's condition.
Here are two screenshots from my phone's Settings-About phone menu.

The current situation is, that my wifi is not working at all when I enter my simcard, then there's random reboots, it kind of works stable only if I have it plugged in pc(charging), etc.
My current ClockworkMod Recovery version is v6.0.3.3
If possible please add links to stuff that I should work on, Step by step!
Edit: Forgot to mention that I also get the "SIM network unlock PIN" message after I enter SIM PIN. sigh*
Thank you.

Looks like you are currenty using TMC by forumber2. I instelled and removed it because I found Aurora SP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295318), which is stable and has a goood battery backup. You can try that.
As long as SIM lock is concerned you can use DFS (http://cdmatool.com/) to unlock the SIM.
I guess you are using the carrier locked phone.
Good luck.

Okay, thanks for the first reply. I'll try to install this ROM, but does that mean that I have to install some official Android version first? It doesn't say anything in that topic, but for some ROMs it's mentioned, and usualy the added links are broken, etc.
And about the SIM lock, I don't know if it was a misunderstanding, or I'm missing something from that website. My SIM isn't locked, but it looks like that my Network adapter is, or however should i call this, I don't have the phone with me atm to exactly describe it, but still. I get the message that i should enter a PIN for my network something, not for SIM unlock.
Is this resolved with installing a new ROM, or do I still need to do something else about it?

Please clarify

I don't think so. I installed it over Lewa ROM. It installs its own kernel, so there is no such dependency.
Just take the backup using recovery to be on safe side.

Did you purchase the phone from specific service provider?
Does it ask for pin when you try to insert another SIM card?
Did you manually set some PIN/PUK code?

Yes I did purchase my phone from a service provider. I didn't have a chance to try another SIM card, but, I've installed a 2.3.5 android version now, and the system is stable, at least I'm fine with that, but the WIFI and bluetooth aren't working. For wireless it says Error when I try to enable it, and bluetooth simply isn't enabling, without giving me any errors.
And no I did not change any PIN/PUK code settings.
At least the phone is working now, but I really have to get the WIFI working, any ideas?
"kernel" - 2.6.35.7-perf

I guess this localhost thing has something to do with it? But I've no idea about those things, on phones at least.

your emei is correct?
if you have used custom partitions you could have lost your emei.
go to defenitions and see if your emei is correct.
and have you tried to install an official rom again and see if everything is working?

I've checked the IMEI, it's the same as on the back of my phone. It also says "Wi-Fi MAC address / Bluetooth address - Unavailable".
I'll try to install fresh rom later today again. Should I install the same version as I did the last time (2.3.5), or some other one?

if your wifi and your Bluetooth are closed it will say this... if you open them it will show the addresses as normal...

What do you mean open them? I can't enable either of them, as I described in one of my previous posts, I get error trying to enable WiFi, and as for bluetooth, nothing happens.

Le Pro 3 "No SIM Card" bug

I've had a few mobile data related issues on a few different ROMs now, and am looking for any solutions. The first problem I've been having recently is where my phone randomly reports that there is no SIM card inserted and won't make or receive calls and cellular data doesn't work. Simply rebooting or removing and re-inserting the SIM will instantly fix the issue but I'd prefer to find a solution so I don't have to reboot my phone all the time. Another new issue I've noticed is where the signal strength remains constant but the "ASU" goes from 40 or so to 99 and my bars appear to drop to nothing, this issue may have only started after my most recent install of lineage. I have the US variant of the phone and currently have Lineage OS 14.1 but even when previously on an unmodified copy of EUI 21s, albeit after installed after a few other ROMs, I was getting this issue. Does anyone have any ideas why I might be having these issues, or any ideas on what to try to fix them? Any insight is appreciated!

in my case I have the x722 and this does not recognize any SIM at any time

Did you try factory resetting? Are your APN settings for your carrier correct? It could be a lot of things. If you bought it in the U.S. from a U.S. store, you'll probably be able to RMA it (easier than the rest of us, at least). If the issue persists, I'd say open a case and ask for a replacement because it's your best option.
When did these issues start? From the beginning? If not, did you flash the modem correctly?

I don't remember exactly when I started having these problems to be completely honest, I just know that on EUI, after once flashing to lineage then back to EUI, I was having issues with it saying NO SIM INSERTED and now after flashing to Lineage and re flashing the 19s modem I am still having issues. I suppose I can try to RMA since I bought it at launch on LeEco's US store. Though I may have passed a year of ownership so I may be out of warranty . I don't really know what else to try, maybe this?

My understanding of this phone is, flashing stock rom (either US version or CN version), whose size is about 1.4g bytes, can give you the modem.
All the roms developed here do not have modem images.

I have faced the same issue trying installing custom ROM while sim card inserted.
The solution for me is to remove the sim try completely
Fastboot this (chinese stock) rom : https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0By_Lx-WrwGa7cnZMZWF4QUdmQm8&export=download
complete the installation normally using your wifi and then insert sim tray with sim. Hurray ! I got that working.
With this chinese stock rom I got everything what I wanted google play store, assistant and etc. (except android > 6)

First thing don't flash this ROM is not a good idea bad advice.
Try flashing 727 19s modern backup all on computer and do a hard reset.
Let know if this helps?

Haven't tried 727 19s modem backup, but what works for me is this ROM.
I know this ROM is in chinese and you might struggle on changing the stuff but when I faced the issue, the only thing I needed is to make the device usable whatever it'll cost.
It'll be great if modem backup thing will work for anybody. This ROM might be the last option for you.

[N9005] RessurectionRemix doesn't detect SIM card

Hi,
when I got my Note 3, I immediately installed Cyanogenmod and from then I only swapped between custom ROMs.
I never actually made a backup of the stock system. (Yes, I was reckless.)
I also never made a backup of any custom ROM before that (Yes, I was really reckless.)
I recently switched from the unofficial Ressurection Remix (from now just called RR) 5.8.2 to the official RR 5.8.4 and since then my SIM card is not detected anymore.
For the setup, I first followed the guide on the thread itself.
Then I paniced and looked up stock firmware for my device, but since they all had more specific names like N9005XXUBMH1 (my phone only says N9005 under the battery), I couldn't identify which one was the correct one and just downloaded a whole bunch and flashed them until one of them worked.
The stock firmware I flashed actually had a working SIM, but was also using power like crazy. I went from 1.5 days to half a day. The stock OS is also horribly bloated in my opinion.
So I looked through the forum and found the Rock Stable Setup, I followed it and got the same result.
I made plenty of nandroid backups with TWRP and restored that every time I started the phone and saw that the SIM wasn't found.
I am currently running RR 5.8.4 and a seperate phone for being reachable, but I would really like reduce that to one phone again.
When I dial *#06# in RR, I just see a windows with IMEI as title but no content. (It shows one in the stock ROM)
Things I have already tried:
Solution Lineage OS No Sim
UpdatePackage by -ION-
If you need any more information, I'd be happy to provide them!
I just really want to use my phone to it's fullest capability again.
Thanks to all replies in advance

I know that there are a lot of threads regarding this issue, but most of them are different phones (not N9005) or different conditions.
The ones that I did find that match my conditions roughly are already listed in the first post.
Therefore I belive that my case is different from those threads.
If you find one that I messed, please refer me.

RR rom
Answer You are using an Old Modem .

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=x...x-b&gfe_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=gTpXWv6_NYv98wf9h5-ICg

I only now read about 'getting the firmware to stick'.
I had to flash it three times until both the bootloader and modem versions changed.
Now I have a differen problem:
I can't call or send SMS.
Mobile data works and receiving calls and SMS works flawlessly, even though it sometimes loses contact with the tower.
Anything that cam up in search had either everything not working or solved it in a way that didn't work for me.
I tried rebooting, putting it in a different phone (SIM works there just fine) and putting it back...

Same here... my SIM card is not detected.
I can´t find a way to make it connect to my mobile provider...
It shows no EMEI in "Phone info" app, I asked for help in a RR thread...
If you make it work, please, reply here.

Have to eject sim after a reboot for the phone to read it (Global Rom)

Hello everyone. After a lengthy battle, yesterday I finally was able to unlock my bootloader, flash a global rom (via MiFlash) to my Redmi Note 7 and lock the bootloader again using fastboot.
However I've encountered an issue that is very annoying. Every time the phone boots, it fails to read my Sim card, so I'm forced to eject it and then reinsert it in order for it to work properly. I use an SD card and I tend to reboot my phone once or twice a week, so you can get an idea of how much of an inconvenience this is.
I'm pretty sure this must be a software Issue because before the ROM change, I've never had an Issue with this. My phone model is M1901F7H and the rom is Miui global (10.3 Stable 10.3.5.0).
I need to mention that my current carrier (I got the phone from them) disables the hybrid sd card/sim slot and sells the phone with only one working sim slot and a custom ROM. After installing the global rom I noticed that now I can enable/disable the dual 4G connectivity for both sims toggle (it was greyed out before) however that is the only option regarding the dual sim settings that I can interact with and the second slot is still only usable for an Sdcard.
Currently I don't care much about the dual Sim feature, but it has crossed my mind that maybe my current Issue is related to this?
Anyways, thank you for taking your time to read this post and I apologize for the wall of text.
I would be very grateful if someone could help out.
Edit: I forgot to mention that one of my banking apps is now unusable as it crashes over and over again since I've installed the Global Rom. Don't know if it's related to the issue, but it worked just fine beforehand.

Check out my thread.
I'm also on 10.3.5 and think the issue is software related.
After reading your post, I'm thinking we may have something similar going on. My phone is working fine with no problems reading the SIM card after a factory reset a few days ago.
Hopefully you don't end up having the exact same problem I did.

I also have the same problem, I have to take out the SIM every time I reboot, I have the derpfest ROM and so far I have not been able to solve the error.

"No SIM card detected" & "No service"

Hi all,
I have a problem with my XC, i hope there's someone here who could help me out with this .
I get a SIM card error when i start the phone. After a while (5-10 mins) the error transforms into "No Service" as if the phone now detects the SIM card but has no service whatsoever.
Things i did to my phone prior to this:
- unlocked bootloader
- installed custom recovery
- root
- installed custom ROM
- drm fix
The phone did function properly for a few months actually after these operations without a SIM card error even once. But then i tried to install custom ROMs again (and i'm sure didn't flash ROMs not suited for XC) -actually tried to install "existenz" ROM but i did get a bootloop so i -once again- did the usual procedure with flashtool and flashed a firmware to set everything back to stock as close as possible. That was, when i started to get the SIM card errors. After several restarts (cold and warm) the phone sometimes recognized the SIM card and i could use the phone normally. But this was true only till the next restart, where i got the same SIM errors again.
Things i tried:
- flashed several different firmwares (official) with flashtool (wiping everything) - all the newest firmwares.
- *#*#72786#*#* in dialer to wipe carrier settings
- *#*#4636#*#* in dialer to go into phone settings and changing those settings randomly
- flashed another AOSP based custom ROM instead of stock sony
- wiping and formatting everything between the flashes of course
- cleaning and re-inserting SIM card (which i never took out before anyway)
But unfortunately nothing worked. Phone keeps to not recognizing the SIM card (which is working just fine in another phone). Everything else works just fine on the phone. The IMEI is displaying correct. I'm almost certain that the fault isn't hardware-based (i didn't drop the phone or exposed in water etc.) but software-based. Did i just managed to brick my phone by flashing something related to the modem which i'm not aware of?
I can't find any solutions on google, which help me, which is why i'm posting it here. Sorry for the long post.
Did anyone experience such an error and/or knows what else i could try to fix this? I hope for answers
Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

I've got the same problem.
I didn't unlock the bootloader or anything prior to getting the bug.
I wanted to downgrade to nougat, because aparently it helped someone in the forum below, but I didn't manage to do it.
https:// de.ifixit. com/Antworten/Ansehen/468864/Sim+Card+not+picking+up+mobile+network.+Possible+software+issue+(Oreo)
Did you try nougat, when flashing different firmwares?
Your post makes me question if its worth it, trying to downgrade.

Try to remove sd card if you have one. then restart the phone and see if sim card is recognized.

I had the same problem and I think it was a hardware failure in the end.
I also tried almost all the things you were writing above. In my phone it started slowly. Sometimes the SIM was detected but after some time the connection was lost.
It happened some time after I installed a new battery.
But since there are no original batteries available for the device anymore and the new battery was even worse than the 5 year old original battery, I gave up investigating the SIM issue and don't use the phone any longer.
I bought a new (used) x compact because I still like the size and I saw some development was going on for this device.
In the end I cannot tell whether the SIM was not detected because I broke something while changing the battery or due to age of the phone but I think it was a "normal" failure.
I also read from others that they had the problem and the SIM was working for some time after I switched the battery before it stopped working.
Nevertheless. Good Luck to you. Maybe it is something different on your phone.
