Hi here,
I have an X2DS where the pins of the first SIM slot are broken. Thus I can only use SIM2.
I read now on so far every custom ROM thread that 2nd SIM slot, or at least mobile internet via it, is not supprted.
Is this a general issue that could not be solved for custom ROMs so far, thus I need to stay on stock? Would love to upgrade to newer android version via nice custom ROM but need fully functional 2nd SIM.
Thx for answers .

Hello,
I have searched for this information and haven't found it anywhere so please help...
For those using squadzone's CM7 RC5.7, is the Sim toolkit working? I want to install this ROM but i need to be sure that the Sim toolkit is working before romming as i am still using the stock ROM with a functional Sim toolkit and i cant go back after romming.
Any answers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just to make sure what i'm recommending, what exactly do you need the sim toolkit for?
If you believe that it does in fact allow or deny encryption or data safety paths that is a complete and utter lie.
I have yet to find out what it actually does, but it doesn't do that, i'll bet my mini on that.
I always thought the simtoolkit was part of the simcard and therefore independent of ROM?

I need the sim toolkit for network related services. Here in kenya you can send money via mobile phone. Its a form of mobile banking called mpesa. This service is dependent on the sim toolkit and that my friend is why i really need a functional sim toolkit. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on any Cyanogen custom ROM

Indeed the sim toolkit is a sim card application. its not part of the rom. However this simtoolkit interfaces with the rom in order to send and receive commands from the network. so the rom needs to be able to allow for this functionality. CM ROMs dont seem to support this toolkit but squadzone says hes working on it. apparently its not so straightforward to get the toolkit working.
Hi All. I have quite a strange case of my SIM card not being recognised by my Xiaomi Mi3W.
Here's what happed.
1) Purchased phone off friend with stock MIUI - all working
2) Inserted my SIM with mobile carrier A (still with stock MIUI) - all working
3) Flashed Cyanogenmod 12.1 Cancro on phone - all working
4) 3 days later, changed mobile carrier to carrier B - not working
Original SIM card from carrier A was in phone when my account with carrier A was erased.
Since my number was ported from carrier A to carrier B, the phone has had issues recognising SIM cards.
5) SIM card from carrier B not working, and neither are other SIM cards
6) I have checked with carrier B and my phone is definitely compatible with their network.
7) My SIM card is working on all other phones
8) The weird bit is that at the shop of carrier B, the shop assistant SIM worked, but a brand new SIM didn't.
9) I have tried reflashing Cyanogenmod. - not working
10) I have updated Cyanogenmod. - not working
11) SIM tray looks clear of dust/obstacles - still not working
System details: imgur dot com/zwiD3pR <--(sorry new acc)
Not to sure where to go to next. I guess I can try back to MIUI or stock android, but I'd love to hear what you think.
Try doing a factory reset (assuming you haven't as mentioned in post)
If still not working, remove the sim, flash the stock miui back through fastboot, guides of which can be found in more detail in the miui forums
See if the sim works or not, if it does try rooting and installing recovery
Then flash the cyanogenmod and see if the issue still persists

Hello Everyone,
I have scoured the internet but I can't find a direct answer. I am running a 5.1.1 AOSP rom and am traveling to Europe soon. I want to use my phone there and T-Mobile tells me with my plan that I should be able to use it because I am on their simple plan. I was given a instruction manual on how to set it up but the app it says to set it up with tells me that my device is not compatible.
My questions are:
-Am I able to use my phone while I am in Europe?
-Do I still need to sim unlock it?
-Do I need to flash back to a TW ROM to sim unlock it?
-Has anyone had experience with using a custom rom in another country?
Thanks in advance.
Im not sure this is gonna be much help bud but I used it on my note 3. Definitely worth checking out.

My questions are:
-Am I able to use my phone while I am in Europe?
I'm not sure if you're going to be able to text or call from Europe from an AOSP based ROM, I personally haven't tried it but I know there's a setting that allows for roaming. You could use wifi though, obviously. Not Wifi Calling or Wifi texting though (to my knowledge)
-Do I still need to sim unlock it?
I don't think so on an AOSP ROM, however if you try running an Int carrier on your N910T it won't work because of incompatibility.
-Do I need to flash back to a TW ROM to sim unlock it?
I'm not sure if there's a sim unlocker for the device that run int carriers.
-Has anyone had experience with using a custom rom in another country?
Not me
I don't see how rom can affect your service. When I went to Asia I was on a custom tw rom (yes I know it's not aosp) and was able to text, call, and had internet (128kbps or less). Don't remember trying WiFi calling though. But I didn't have to sim unlock.
With your rom are you able to use all your carrier feature? Except WiFi calling of course. If you are then I think you will be fine. If you want to be safe just back up your rom now and go back to a tw rom and set up your phone again. Make a back up of it then go back to aosp. When you get to Europe just switch roms if you have issue with aosp.

Purchased a SINGLE SIM P8 Lite from Carphone Warehouse (SIM FREE/UNCLOCKED/UNBRANDED). It has “ALE-L21C432B183” firmware and I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone now.
Unfortunately, there is an issue with this phone - battery discharging\draining despite disabling most of the apps and hardly been used…. This not normal at all. I am going to upgrade to Marshmallow to see if it helps, in fact, ideally start with a fresh firmware.
I would appreciate if someone can give me a link to an official Marshmallow Firmware that is compatible with SINGLE SIM UK phone (I am not interested in dual sim). Also, confirm whether I can upgrade from “ALE-L21C432B183” or do I need to do anything else.
Also, would be good if someone can provide a link to the original SINGLE SIM UK firmware, “ALE-L21C432B183” or something else.
Many Thanks
You have the same version as me. The phone is actually dual sim. You can either have one sim and an SD card inside the same slot, or lose the SD card for another sim instead.
I have been struggling for weeks now trying to get Marshmallow installed on the B183 with no luck at all. I hope you have better luck than me. If you get the update working, please reply back in here so I can copy how you did it
braders1986, I will try dual SIM later as now the battery drain is annoying me. lol
Installed ALE-L21C432B551 from http://m.huawei.com/itmobile/consumer/support/downloads/index.htm (just search for P8 lite, it says its for Single SIM) and gonno check if it improves battery performance at all. Unlocked it as well (although seems to be different method, messed up 2/3 times but reinstalled it). I used the force method to install.
I am new to Android Custom ROM and everything. I got this phone from a local vendor and it was running a custom rom called "LamLazy Rom v3.0 Dual SIM" - I researched on it and figured it was used to convert N950N to N950F or something like that.
I have the EFS and TWRP complete backup of the LamLazy ROM. I wanted to try LineageOS 17.1 on my device and flashed it using TWRP. After the successful flashing, I noticed my phone can no longer connect with my network. I cannot make or receive phone calls. I tried every possible thing that I knew. Even flashed series of Custom ROMs, on every other rom I faced the same network issue.
However, when I revert back to LamLazy it works fine. I can use both of my SIM slots and my phone shows 2 IMEI's while on lineage and other it shows only one IMEI.
Now, my problem is I want to get rid of LamLazy and try new ROMs such as Pixel Experience and LineageOS, but my cellular network doesn't work. Can someone please help me with this? :crying:
