Issue after stock backup restore - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I always face "sim not installed" issue whenever i restore backup of stock rom made from TWRP. Always have to Flash whole stock rom through ADB SIDELOAD method for fixing the issue. Any help will be appreciated.

Common problem, are you using the twrp compiled in this forum or the one from twrp? Using the one from twrp causes this problem, use the one from this forum

When this happened to me a couple times I had to do hard reset to get the SIM card back and reflashing the os through bootloader

[Q] flashing a rom without bricking?

I cant flash a rom and have it work. I have tried several ROMS like aokp, jedi, smooth, jellybeans, etc and they almost always brick. Jedi worked but google services crashed back to back to back to the point where i couldnt even use the phone. does anyone know of a 4.3 rom that works on att sgh-i317?? i basically went down the list on galaxynote2root.com and tried them all but no success.
I have root, have TWRP installed and flash the rom and it bricks. i factory reset first, then install and nothing.
any ideas?
All of the roms on this forum work.. What are your exact steps?

Have they been tried on sgh-i317?
I did these exact steps:
Rooted phone and installed TWRP recovery
put AOKP Rom on SD card and booted into recovery mode
Wiped/Factory reset through recovery
rebooted into recovery
installed AOKP ROM
booted and bricked- hangs at "X" aokp bootup screen
Have you installed gapps after flashing an aosp rom? I am running carbon rom right now... Earlier today I was on aokp. I have used them all and I have a I317. An att note 2

does not having the gapps installed prevent the phone from booting? ive booted a rom before without gapps and it booted.
was there something wrong with my steps? did you use the aokp milestone or nightlies? where did you get the carbon rom? its all good?
I used the latest aokp nightly. And right now I'm running the newest carbon nightly. I got it from the op of the carbon thread.

Download your rom and gapps again using a PC...
Then place the files to your SD using a card adapter if no USB connection is possible...
Then fully wipe the device again from within the latest version of TWRP recovery and flash the new downloads ...
You may have a bad flash ...and you are not bricked...g

I did those exact steps and it did not work. i tried flashing pac man rom the last time and it got stuck in a boot loop too. I think there are some files that are corrupt or some temp files somewhere that are preventing a successful flash. my binary flash count was 9. and that was just on this run, ive tried flashing several times before. each time the only way to recover it is hooking the phone up to a pc and using kies to flash back to stock firmware. this sucks.
What version of twrp are you using? I have never had this issue you are having and I have flashed every rom on this forum for our device.

9 counts ??
Uh....yeh...not right ...
Have you messed with device partitions in ODIN ??
If so...something is definitely wrong ...
At this point ...you may want to consider a full return to stock and allow the PIT to properly restore your partitions..
Just follow the return to stock guide (sticky )...in the general section ..
Once restored to stock with a corrected flash counter you can begin again using CF auto root as your root method..
It sounds as if you have root issues and possible partition damage...
One other step you can try first is to boot into download mode and re-root using CF...
That may help....but certainly won't hurt anything...then attempt a clean flash again..
If it fails ...then the return to stock and rooting again seems prudent ...g
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ok ill try that. When I do the sticky method is that different than using kies to flash to stock? Kies is supposed to wipe everything and reload stock firmware. I agree the partitions are corrupt somewhere

Are u wiping data and system as well in recovery. If you're running TW and u switch to AOSP without wiping everything.....the results most likely wouldn't b pretty

I'm doing a factory reset--> "swipe to wipe". Do I need to do something else?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Kies is not the method I use in returning to stock...as I don't trust it..
Odin is my first choice ...
Using Odin to flash a factory rom will wipe everything as well ...and is far more reliable ...IMHO...g

OK, so i followed these steps perfectly and it did not work. GOt Stuck in a boot loop again. something is corrupt. i used the latest version of clockwork mod and tried to install the latest AOKP nightlies. :crying:
Alright ...
Do you mean that you returned to stock ??
And have rooted again ...??
If yes ..we can dig deeper ...and if not ...proceed with full unroot...g
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I used the sticky on turning your phone back to stock which used odin. I followed that list perfectly which said to flash stock using odin, root using cf then using triangle away, then super user to fully unroot. Then I installed clockword mod recovery, booted to recovery mode, cleared all cache and davlik and factory reset again, then installed the aokp and it got stuck in a boot loop

Here's what I do with twrp when flashing a rom.
Go to wipe menu and then advanced wipe and select dalvik, cache, data, system and internal(optional). I do it three times to make sure. then flash your rom with gapps (if aosp)

No OS Installed! Help

I just got my Sprint LGOG a couple days ago, so I don't know much about it. I wiped my data in twrp to flash a ROM and now when I try to reboot, twrp tells me I have no OS installed. It deleted all of my backups and Roms so I can't do anything atm. Could I just push a ROM to the phone with my computer and flash it? If so, how? And if not, what can I do?

try resetting the device to factory using twrp recovery. I had this happen once and resetting the device worked.
I did factory reset in twrp, upon restart I get the welcome screen, language setup, I choose en us, press the continue button, the I get the error message: unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped. I can't seem to bypass this.
any thoughts?

that's what I had previously, I just followed a video guide ad literam.
I guess I shall update the recovery as even now, after clean rom install still unstable: for instance the wi-fi toggle in settings refused to work after a few hours of idle time, a reboot solved it.

[OTA][May 17][TMO] 1.57.531.7

Here is the OTA for the T-Mobile M8.feel free to rehost if needed. Pulled straight from a live phone.
Flash through stock recovery on an unrooted LOCKED phone. I say locked because some OTAs fail when they cannot access the few apps that were located in the /Data partition that gets wiped after an unlock.
I am not responsible for anything that could (but probably won't) happen to your phone after flashing this

Is there a changelog? What was added? I'm trying to figure out if it is worth going back to stock to install it.
From what I've gathered just battery enhancements,WiFi enhancements, and extreme battery saver mode.

I just attempted to flash the rom on a rooted, busyboxed, S-OFF'd phone, and I can guarantee it doesn't install. Guess i'll be reverting and then installing.

That's what I would have said any other time but so far I haven't removed anything or had a need to debloat. Phone is still 100% stock with the exception of unlocked, rooted, and s-ff. I even installed the apps that are removed when unlocking. Its strange to me for sure...I guess I will have to wait for a rooted, flashable update to be posted :/

Are you speaking about the stock Rom before the ota or a stock Rom with the 1.57 ota? Or a stock odexed do that we can accept the ota. If it is to accept the ota it would be best for it Not to be rooted. Thanks.
