After flashing this modem I lost my both sim network


First things first-
What is baseband/modem?
-Baseband is a part of firmware responsible your cellular network configuration, network stability, internet settings, etc.
Do I need to update my baseband?
-Depends.... If you are facing issues like low network, call drops, slow internet, etc., upgrading baseband might help fixing it. There is always a trial and error procedure associated with baseband, try different versions and stick to the one that suites you the most.

Background info-
Asus FOTAs (official firmware zips/ota) contains a "firmware-update" package which contains critical and important firmware components like baseband/modem, aboot, tz, etc. However, custom ROMs don't include this, which means if you want to update your baseband you will need to reflash official asus ROM and then reflash your custom ROM. So I decided to make flashable zips of latest "firmware-update" of all variants and SKUs. Each zip includes entire "firmware-update" folder from respective device's official firmware.
This can also be used to recover fastboot mode provided you have access to your custom recovery.

Since there are many variants of ZF2, there is a high chance of cross flashing bootloaders and hence hard bricks, so I have revised the entire thread. Each zip contains ONLY MODEM of respective variant. There's almost no possibility of brick

Pre-requistes: A custom recovery like TWRP installed.*

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Put zip in external sdcard
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Select Install zip
4. Choose zip file and flash.
No need to wipe anything

*Experienced users can flash modem via fastboot on both LOCKED/UNLOCKED Bootloader.
Code:
fastboot flash modem <filename>.bin

Hi guys. So recently I had a problem with my zenfone's Bluetooth. The settings page and toggle are working like normal, but I can't connect to any devices like smartwatches, wireless headphone or simply pair with another phone or send/receive any file. I flash several Nougat and Oreo ROM, then flash the stock one (using the flash2stock script and using stock recovery), but none of them work.

Additional information:
Phone: Zenfone Selfie (ZD551KL)
Bluetooth address: 00:00:00:00:5A:AD (looks very weird)


I don't sure when the problem occurs for the first time, coz I rarely used the Bluetooth before, but it may happen because of my old battery issues (my phone restart when my battery fall to 35%, and if it restart twice, then bootloop will occur and I should wipe data partition or simply restoring the old one). Just two week before, I bought a new wear os smartwatch and Bluetooth headphone. At first, the pairing process with my headphone is very hard, but at least it working good, and my smartwatch suddenly disconnected. Then I should clear Bluetooth data to repair it, and problem repeat, make me should reset network settings, then clear data partition, change rom, and week ago, none of that step solving my problem.

So, I don't know if this is hardware, firmware or software based issue. If I go to wrong thread, then I'm sorry. I started the thread but no one even helping me atm, so, any help in this case is highly appreciated. Thank you..

Might be a noob question, but if I flash one of these modems onto my phone with the stock ROM, will it sim unlock the phone so I can use it with any carrier?

I am new. I have a question.
Flashing these zip files only solves problem related to cellular network or it can also solve problem related to wifi and Bluetooth.

Thx
