No Sim Card

Hi All-

I installed the latest release: lineage-15.1-20190120-nightly-pioneer-signed.zip on a stock XA2 and it can't see the SIM card.

I tried restarting a few times without any success. I have not installed gapps or anything else. I tried wiping the system with TWRP and sideloading again via TWRP with no changes in the symptom.

One clue may be that when I did the wipe I saw this message in red a few times in TWRP: Error "Failed to mount /firmware (Invalid Argument)"
Also, on first boot I get "Bluetooth keeps stopping" message constantly.

Any thoughts?
Thanks!
-Michael

Hi, I have a problem. After updating the phone through the built-in updater, the top and bottom microphones do not work. When you try to make a phone call you can not hear me or the other person. Has anyone had such a problem and if there is any possibility of repairing it. Thank you for your reply.

For me only one of the microphones does not work. Calling someone works, but if i try to speak to someone while i activate the loudspeaker, he cant hear me.

Ok. The problem appears to be fixed
By the way, this is an h3123.
What I did was restore to factory using flashtool/xperiferm more or less from this:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/03/12/install-xperia-marshmallow-using-flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/

Then I wiped and flashed using twrp per the instructions in this thread.
Then I did the magical dd per this post:

Same problem here. I had to roll it back to Jan 8 build to get it working again.

Strangely, when I was on the Jan 21 build, the SIM would periodically be recognized and then disappear again upon reboot. I did notice a discrepancy in the size of the builds. Jan 8 came in at 617 mb whereas Jan 21 comes in at 599.3 mb. Also noticed that the security patch level on Jan 8 build is Dec 2018 whereas Jan 21 contains the January patch. A little speculative, but just an observation.

I thought I was out of the woods with the fixes above but I am missing calls and voicemails are taking a long time to show up.

So uhh ril should be working again in next build(s). Apparently killing sony-modem-switcher ended up triggering same race condition as I used to have in early 16.0 bringup stage so I just picked my fix from 16.0 and it's supposedly fixed.

So while this did fix the issue, I think there still is an issue with phone calls. I attempted to make and recieve a phone call. When I made a phone call the other party was able to get a phone call from, but I never got the "ringing" I expected to make sure that the call was going through. I was also unable to speak or hear anything from the caller.

In addition, when I recieved a call, it looked to connect, but I also was unable to speak or hear anything. The other party said it seemed like I just hung up on them.

That looks totally different from what I was experiencing. Something is weird on your end.
Try removing /system/app/ims/ims.apk maybe that's it?

Thank you for the quick reply!

I still have the issue.

I wiped my phone clean and reinstalled per the LineageOS wiki and tried calling. I attempted what you suggested, rebooted, and confirmed the ims.apk was gone and tried calling again. Both attempts had the same problem.

Edit: Nevermind. Phone calling seems to work fine now. Thank you for looking at it though. I think reinstalling then restarting another time worked.

Is it normal for vendor security patch level to be on July security patch level in Lineage OS even though I updated Sony firmware to September security patch level?

Yes, I'm just too lazy to update blobs, especially on 15.1.

 

[malerocks]

Yes, I'm just too lazy to update blobs, especially on 15.1.

Does it mean it's updated on 16? ?

That fine. I thought there was something wrong with my phone and that is why it does not display September security patch level.

No. B-but it means that it may be updated on 16 soon.

Anyone using wifi calling? Doesn't seem to be working for me. I have it turned on. And it is supported by my carrier.
