I had notice on the AT&T site it says to ensure the following before updating:
* Fully charged battery.
* Remove SIM card before applying upgrade.
* Compatible USB cable.

I am getting a slightly alarmed at the amount of failed updates and bricked phones. Has anyone removed the SIM card and had problems/success that they want to share?
Someone said you can't get to the update screen without a SIM. Mine also downloaded via 3G (which requires a SIM) even though I had WiFi.
Mine updated fine with the SIM card installed.
Stock Captivate.
What about those who are not on at&t network ? Can we only get it through USB ?
Hi
I have P9 L19 dual sim phone, and on older versions i could use both sim cards and memory card (found hack on youtube to glue one of the sim cards to the memory card). Now I am on c432b386 firmware and I can use only two sims or one sim and memory card.
Can someone check what's with their roms, maybe Huawei disabled it in recent firmwares?

Do the same :
From what I have read in the ROM forums it appears that you can get around the Boost Mobile network lock by unlocking the bootloader and installing a Lineage based ROM. Can someone confirm this and does anyone know if you can get LTE support of AT&T and T-Mobile this way? Best Buy has them for 79 bucks right now and for that price it sounds like a cheap way of getting very usable backup phone/something to give to the 4th grader to have when she goes over to a friends house. Thanks.
Hey, did you ever get a confirmation on this? Im literally in the same boat, would like to find out!
I didnt read too much and I may be totally wrong, but a quick search told me that I would need to have a working LTE connection on Boost before attempting this, otherwise LTE would not work. If I have to buy a boost card, activate it, then go through all this, I might as well buy the unlocked version for a few bucks more..?
Thanks
Yes, I can confirm. Installing the latest unofficial LineageOS 14.1 on my XT1776 allowed it to finally recognize my Cricket (AT&T Wireless) SIM card. The OEM retail firmware, however, did not work.
Would you be able to link to the threads to install LineageOS? Did you need to activate on Boost before installing the LineageOS?

No, I didn't activate first. LineageOS thread is here.

Just to give an update I bought one at Target with a best buy price match (I had some Target gift cards). Up and running with a T Mobile sim and Resurrection Remix in less than 45 minutes including download everything and installation minimal ADB and Motorola drivers. Coming from an LG G5 I am impressed at what 79 dollars buys. I was interested in an Honor 7x but is hard to justify the extra 125 bucks. Thanks to everyone for the great guides and help. The hardest part was figuring out how to eject the Boost mobile sim card.

Did you have to bootloader unlock and root first to do it? I just ordered a phone from BestBuy. I remember for the Moto E4 Verizon phones that you had remove the prepaid sim before you even power the phone on otherwise it gets locked to Verizon for 6 months. Any gotchas here?
BTW, anyone who want a stock rom, this might help? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75968092&postcount=14

I'm not sure I ejected my sim before turning it on just to be safe.
Does anyone know if this phone once unlocked and LINEAGEOS is installed will work on Verizon?
I would think that it would be fine. It's no different than what I did except it's fir a different network. Mine works with t-Mobile and at&t sims. Haven't tried a Verizon one.

Verizon is CDMA, but I guess it should work since I think Sprint uses their network, too.
So just to confirm, do we have to activate Boost SIM and provision LTE first before unlocking bootloader and flashing LineageOS? The Lineage thread says LTE won't work if we don't provision LTE first before flashing.
I'm on T-Mobile currently and might switch to Cricket in the near future. Thanks.

I took the Boost Mobile SIM out and inserted my T-Mobile SIM before I even powered on the phone for the first time. Notification was there that showed it was invalid (as expected). I connected to my wifi and updated the OS to the latest one. I unlocked the bootloader in the OS setting and by getting the code from Motorolla. Installed TRWP, backed up the stock OS, wiped and installed LineageOS. SIM card worked on T-Mobile immediately and got LTE. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
EDIT: I'm working on another phone and I noticed after it's booted up and I'm past the new install setup steps that it looks like it's connecting to the Sprint network and provisioning even without the Boost SIM card installed. I connected the phone to my wifi during the initial setup so I can update the stock formware before unlocking. I have no idea if that matters. I'm guessing the Linage thread is correct. I suppose it would be bad to boot to fastboot first, unlock, flash recovery and flash lineage without ever first booting the phone up with the stock firmware.

Thank you for the quick reply. Although, I decided to jump in and got the Moto E4 Boost Mobile version for $50 and went through the same process

Maybe you have to manually add the APN settings for Straight Talk? https://www.straighttalk.com/wps/portal/home/help/apn
Nope didn't work for me. I had to pay to get it unlocked

Yeah.. Umm, wrong thread.. This is "owens", not " perry".. Maybe those guys will have better answers for your device?
So im using a dual sim exynos variant of note 8. I have one sim installed in first slot, and a second sim with extrender into the second slot with sd card. It worked flawlessly until PIE. Now, the os recognises the 2 sim and sd card too, but guves me an error like: there is something in my sim tray slot.. Anyone know how can i get rid of this message and use my phone like before?
Thanks for the help!
I think that Samsung may have blocked the use of this feature with the Pie update.

Hi.
Same happened with me also, I'm searching for a solution.
Found same issue in S9/S9+ and they solved it with Xposed mode or something.
Any solution for note 8??

Hey. I have the exact same problem right now. Have you sorted it out?
I think your SIM card is broken.
