No SIM Card error
Hi folks,
I'm using official TWRP 3.3.1-0 I have been using lineage 16
As lineage doesn't seem to include the latest BL/CP files, I thought I'd install the latest BL from the OP of this thread.
flashing the zip from TWRP threw up no errors, but when I rebooted into the system, the simcard is not detected and neither is the IMEI.
Uh-oh!
I have tried:
* a different simcard in the same phone (does not work)
* my simcard in another phone (works)
* clearing dalvik/cache
* clean install of the ROM (wipe system/data/dalvik/cache) - no difference
* install of DevBase6.0 (crashes part way through every time, yes, I have checked that the md5 sum is correct)
* download stock 8.0.0 ROM for my CSC (TNZ) and install via ODIN 3.13:
* CSC - install successful, no difference to SIM error
* CP - install successful, no difference to SIM error
* BL from stock ROM - install fails
* AP from stock ROM - install fails
* BL from the OP of this thread - install successful, no difference to SIM error
Also tried:
* Restored known working nandroid backup (still no SIM or IMEI)
* Restored EFS and baseband partitions from nandroid (still no SIM or IMEI)
I feel like I'm running out of options here. Have I bricked my phone?
Edit: Great news! After several attempts, I was able to install DevBase 6.0 and this restored my IMEI and SIM access. Still can't figure out what was wrong!
For reference, I have been able to install lineage 16 and the SIM still works.
I hope that this drama is helpful to someone else in the future. Any suggestions about what I could have done to avoid these problems?
