Sim1 doesn't work on Asus zenfone 2 - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
After restoring a backup from another asus zenfone 2, the sim1 stopped working.
The sim2 works without problems, but I really need you to function the Sim1.
The SIM 1 is read, but it says "no signal".
The address IMEI is not right, but another number.
This is "004999010640000"
Please Help Me

Please see troubleshooting steps in ZenUI app called ASUS Support. Go to Apps>ASUS Support>Assistance>SIM Card>SIM card not detected. This may be hardware issue and will require sending in for warranty service. If you are in the USA or Canada and would like RMA assistance and please feel free to contact me direct at [email protected]
Sincerely,
ASUS_USA

I had the same problem. I fixed it by installing a fresh ROM (reset first).
I used titanium backup to restore the phone.
I didnt see any other solution and this has happened to me on 2 occasions after a restore (twrp).

Hey, I'm having the same issue. When you mean fresh rom what do you mean? Stock? or what?

Could usually be any time but stock is what I have always used, is a common problem when restoring from term, must reset data before restoring and for me using bootloader has most successful way, though I have also used sideloading from stock recovery

Yes any rom.

Thank you all for your responses .
I tried but nothing worked , the Sim is always " not visible " .
I would send him back to a center Asus but I do not know if the warranty is invalidated .
The bootloader is now black and not white ( as in stock ) and I removed the permissions of root .
What do you recommend?
Thanks a lot

As it seems this may be an issue with TWRP, restore functions. EDIT, I have duplicated this issue, TWRP is not the issue here for me.
It seems to be an issue with restoring my rooted Stock Rom 2.20.40.97 only. After doing so again, it is an issue that I recreated immediately, and again fixed with a new Rom is installed fresh.
I have backed up and restored Cyanogen Mod 12.1 without issue on it's own, and my SIM 1 still remains working. Must be something with the Stock Rom, not enjoying being restored by TWRP. EDIT done.
I did a backup of my Zenfone ZE551ML or Z00A with 2.20.40.97, rooted and bootloader unlocked, with TWRP 2.8.7.2. Then I proceeded with installing the new Cyanogen 12.1 Rom, setup my apps and did another complete backup.
Although, I needed some data from a few apps, personal data, i.e. PGP personal key and a encrypted text backup key, that I forgot to put on my External MicroSD storage card before I did the Cyanongen 12.1 Rom upgrade/update. So upon Restoring using TWRP backup of my original stock rom, was the first sign of SIM 1 no longer working for me.
A subsequent Restore using TWRP with my new backup of my Cyanongen 12.1 Rom, now had the same issue, SIM 1 not working.
Install of modded rom went perfectly, as well as the backups.
Installing a fresh Rom custom or from ASUS will fix the issue.
I can confirm that this worked for me, and my SIM 1 does indeed work again . I used the Paranoid Rom and recommended Gapps for this Rom as a new Install and TWRP to install it.
Only question I have, is can I do TWRP restores from previously created backups using adb command lines and sideloading them in order to switch between my Rom's?
As doing new Install's all the time does not fit into my life schedule easily.

[Q] How to Root/use Recovery on a fully encrypted International Note 2 LTE?

Hi all,
I recently got a HK N7105 and because it lacked the possibility to use a french keyboard I upgraded to a stock unbranded ROM from Sweden (XXDLL1) and succesfully rooted with the relevant CF_autoroot through Odin. Also installed TWRP 2.3.3.1.
Then, I connected the Note 2 to my corporate exchange server which enforced a full encryption policy (device and external SD card) so I had to type in a password at each boot time (with a "nice" swedish prompt that took ma while to decypher), plus a password to unlock the screen. All was well as the root survived the process.
Next I upgraded to a later stock ROM from France (XXDLL4 from SFR) to try and get rid of the swedish prompt. That worked fine (and root was loast in the process, as expected) but I hated the branded stuff so much I reverted to XXDLL1 until a proper unbranded "english" or "french" ROM is available.
At this point I decided to root again. I was running XXDLL1 like the first time and used the same autoroot tar from Chainfire. Except my Note 2 was still encrypted and after that it would not accept my boot password (a four digit PIN) anymore so I was guted and had to factory reset and root then reinstall everything before reconnecting to the exchange server.
Question 1: Does anyone know of a safe, proven way to root a fully encrypted Samsung device so I can go another upgrade without having to wipe the device first?
Why reinstall everything? Why not backup everything first so you can restore after the wipe? Well, it so happens that no recovery (at least neither CWM or TWRP) can read any encrypted media on the Note 2 at the moment. And no Recovery can actually fully backup the device as well.
Question 2: Does anyone know of a proper way to handle this situation with minimum hassle?
So far, the best I can think of is doing a Titanium backup and FTP the files to my NAS so I can retrieve them later. But (Question 3) will this be enough to restore my phone to the expected state after a stock firmware upgrade?
Thanks in advance,
François

I think using Exynos Abuse apk will do the work

Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it. But to be clear, that answers question 1, correct?

Yes that's a way to root the device.
Regarding encryption, very few people on xda seem to use it. So for that reason you'll have trouble finding out what works... I do use it though through choice so I can help you a bit.
When you encrypt the device, just consider /data to be off limits to anything not booted fully. That's why it asks you for your key in swedish - it can't see what language is in use until you unlock /data.
You will have issues using recovery with the device, since they can't read /data. You can use an external sd to perhaps load data to the device though.
I believe that TWRP might soon support the Samsung encryption on the device, meaning you could use it as recovery. Once you have a recovery that supports Samsung encryption, you should be able to consider it a fairly normal device.
Just be more cautious to backup your data as it is hard to recover if something goes wrong...
If your using stock rom 4.1.2, exynos abuse method of root will not work. It's been patched

Fine, I understand. As long as I have a way to recover my data if I need to wipe I'm okay... I just have to hope Titanium backup gives me that until TWRP can manage encruption on the Note 2.
I'm really waiting for a stock rom that boots in English or French now.

I am on Stock 4.1.2 and Exynos Abuse did work on my device, it's successfully rooted using the Exynos AbuseAPK on 4.1.2 :good:
OK, now I have been experimenting a bit with backups and upgrade and have trouble restoring my device fully. Let me explain...
I got hold of a TWRP build that seems to handle Samsung encryption fine through one of the TWRP devs (thanks!), so I decided to go back and try to update my device.
Current ROM: N7105XXDLL1_N7105TLADLL1_N7105XXDLK7_HOME.tar (obtained from Samsung Updates)
New ROM: N7105XXDLL7_N7105OLBDLL2_N7105DXDLL1_HOME.tar (obtained from Samsung Updates)
First I performed a complete Titanium Backup on the device and pulled the files to my laptop using ADB.
Then I restarted into TWRP 2.4.0.0 (got a prompt for my password), performed a full backup and pulled the files to the laptop using ADB.
(for some reason, I could not install the new ROM from TWRP (unable to open ZIP), but the ZIP looked OK, as well as after a second download which TWRP since did not like, so I had to use Odin instead).
Next, I flashed DLL7 with Odin. It worked, asked for the password at boot, but the device was unrooted at this point (I expected that).
Then, I flashed CF-Auto-Root-t0lte-t0ltexx-gtn7105.tar from Odin, but the boot up password would not be accepted anymore as I already knew.
Tried to flash DLL7 again from Odin, same thing
Flashed TWRP back on recovery partition, but on startup it would not ask for password anymore and the external sdcard looked empty to it.
I then copied my backup to a different, non encrypted sdcard and could restore from TWRP but the password would still not work after reboot.
I did a factory reset, restored backup, same result.
At this point I decided to factory reset, wipe Dalvik and format /data. The format did the trick and after TWRP restore of my original back up the device booted up, did not ask for password and all my data was there. Except the Exchange account I use for Corporate email wants me to restore encryption in order to work (I expected that too).
Back at DLL1, so I flashed DLL7 again with Odin (OK), rooted the phone, triangled away the flash counter and reflashed TWRP to recovery.
I was where I wanted to be except for one thing: I need to restore Corporate access. But when I let it encryp the phone it does nothing. I let it through the night and nothing). And if I reboot the phone no password is needed at boot time, yet the phone seems to behave as if it thought the device was still encrypted...
I reflashed my original, full, backup (i.e DLL1) succesfully but Exchange still wants to encrypt my device. Isn't restore supposed to restore the encrypted /data I backed up?
At this point I'm left with possibly tryinjg to go back to full factory settings, not use the backup at all, encrypt the device then restore my data from the Titanium backup I made.
Is there a better option?
[edited jan 18 - TWRP/TB behaviour]
My comments apply to encrypted devices only! I am not trying to talk down TWRP or TB here, as they provide splendid performance on non encrypted devices. I have come upon hard time trying to upgrade/restore an encrypted device using thoise tools, that's all
For those considering upgrading & re-rooting encrypted devices, don't!
I am finding the hard way that this is a one way street. At this point, my TWRP made full backup does not restore the device to the expected status. Each time I apply it, subsequent bootup takes several minutes and I end up going through the initial setup procedure. It seems the device for some reasoin goes through a complete reset procedure.
[edit]
Clarification: The TWRP build I use, 2.4.0.0 is an alpha build and I was not current when I restored my backup. I so happens that it was overwriting the encryption header on the partition, which messed things up bad, and had issues writing back the data partition, ending up in a factory reset status!
Using the latest drop as of today (jan 27) I was able to restore my original backup and am now back to my original state. All is well.
[/edit]
Titanium Backup is none better. It keeps telling me that my Android ID has changed, a host of system applications start to fail when I try to restore and generally speaking I have now spent between a good 20 hours trying to simply restore my data.
[edit]
this behaviour is probably linked to encryption. I know for a fact that TB works very well on non encrypted phones. The 20h figure is overall, not just with TB.
[/edit]
The end story is: root before you encrypt, and either don't upgrade or don't re-root if you do! If you do, be prepared for some rough times...
Unless someone has a cleat idea of how to do this properly without losing all your data, that is.

I have had no issues despite doing upgrades, with and without wipes.
Titanium is fine, just stop restoring system app data. Seriously, what data do you have in a system app that you want to restore.
Restore your user apps, their data, and the xml based call, sms, Wifi backups. It will work fine.
Device ID isn't a problem - it's just trying to help you.

Sorry if I came across dissing Titanium Backup and/or TWRP. This was not the intent... I am sure both tools work real nice in general cases (and I have had success restoring data on a Jetstream before).
My main issue here is _full device encryption_ enforced by my company's corporate IT to allow me on the corporate exchange server. Do you have full device encryption on?
On my device, even after a full wipe and flashing a fresh stock rom Titanium Backup just did not work as I hoped. When I had to confirm individual popups of apps closing unexpectedly while it was proceeding and got nothing back in the end, what was I supposed to think? It could be that I don't understand how TB works... I was neither able to restore missing apps after the flash (missing apps: 0) nor installed apps data (they would close unexpectedly when started after restoring the back up). So I say: until full operation of TB on encrypted devices is documented, I will stay away from it, even though I am a registered user (and I do not plan to seek reimbursment)!
Anyway, I got to a belated happy ending (previous post edited).

Yup I use device encryption Enabled manually, but it's the same encryption.
You should find that titanium shouldn't even be aware of it - the encryption is transparent!
I wonder... I'm sure lenny had that issue on a recent 4.1.2 "stock" ROM... And he doesn't use encryption...
I personally have had no issues with titanium on an encrypted device anyway
I notice you were using the newest rom - that's the one lenny had issues on.

Exactly like I thought, encryption should be transparent to Titanium Backup since it runs within the OS.
I have had problems restoring into 4.1.2 DLL1 (the build I came from) and DLL7 (the one I was trying to go to)
The point is moot anyway since the DLL7 I tried was actually branded (Singtel stuff all around the launcher) and did not include French, which is why restoring my TWRP backup was a tempting proposition.
Good to know TB runs fine with encryption as well. What ROM are you running?

About a backup : have you tried Online Nandroid (Playstore) (or similar, based on Onandroid) ? This makes a CWM or TWRP compatible backup while the device is running (everything should be unencrypted at this moment).
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620255
About rooting : you can try the same trick as above, by using ADB-shell and pushing the needed files to root to the device while it is running.
For my S3 there is a Toolkit that automates all this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488), maybe there is something similar for your device ?
If not, you should still be able to do it using manual ADB-pushing.
I'm sorry I can't give you detailed instructions about the rooting as I'm not familiar with your device. Search here on XDA and you'll find more details.

Thanks for the suggestions, and no I had not tried Online Nandroid as I was not aware of it. Anyway, my main issue is now resolved since TWRP has include support for Samsung TouchWiz based encryption in 2.4 and that works well.
For those interested, the only remaining issues I have with TWRP regarding encryption are that if you want to format /data from TWRP (say, to remove encryption) it will fail unless you _do not_ enter the password at boot, and the TWRP formated /data cannot be re-encrypted (you must use stock recovery to factory reset/wipe the device or else the encryption step will sit deat in the water doing nothing). I suppose the second one is a bug that will be fixed in a later version.
I will check Online Nandroid out anyway, being able to make a backup from a live system sounds good!

I have a similar issue. I had the device encrypted and decided to ROOT (using CF-AutoRoot). Unfortunately I cannot bypass the password screen now, although I know that I'm entering the right password. You are saying that if I flash TWRP everything will be fine?

Two separate things:
Root messing up encrypted touchwiz devices and twrp not handling touchwiz encrypted partitions properly.
The 2nd one, as much as I can tell, is fixed since before 2.5 so if youwork with the latest (2.6) you should be fine.
The first one I haven't played with in a while, but my finding is that you don't want to root a device once it's been encrypted. I've tried several different methods including rooting as you flag as is possible with twrp and all end up the same:the password is not recognised anymore!
The only thing that works for me is rooting before encrypting or only flashing pre-rooted ROMs.

Yes - I had to factory reset the phone and format the SD Card. Never root AFTER encryption :silly:

[Q] No Network or IMEI number, :-S

Hi there guys of XDA,
I have a major problem with my NOTE 2, after playing around with some ROMs, Cyanogenmod 11 4.4 NIGHTLY, 10.2 4.3 and Omni 4.4.1 NIGHTLY. I used CWM to load these ROMs with SUPERsu?. This is the first time i have flashed any ROMs onto my phone.
CM 11 was the first ROM i flashed on my NOTE 2 and that's when it started it couldn't detect my sim, It doesn't show me my IMEI number and my Baseband version. I didn't make a back-up of the stock because i didn't need one.
Now i'm stuck with a phone i can only use on Wifi is there anyone that can help? or if its happened to someone else? how did you sort it out?
Also can i restore this through KIES?

I had this exact issue last week when flashing Kitkat AOSP ROM. Even restoring back to 4.3.1 no network connection was available, except for WiFi. Restoring your EFS will not even work. You just have to re-root your phone.
Not to worry, your phone is OK, perfectly OK. But just quite a bit of work needs to be done. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032849
1. Download original stock firmware for your country and telco
2. Download mode that firmware back to your phone using Odin
3. Download mode to install recovery, this will re-root your phone above steps will un-root your phone
4. Re-flash ROM of your choice, not Kitkat for now
After all i've gone through, and as much as i want to try Kitkat, i think this issue is recovery-related. Both TWRP and CWM needs updating for Android 4.4. I will wait until then.
All the best!

I had this exact issue last week when flashing Kitkat AOSP ROM. Even restoring back to 4.3.1 no network connection was available, except for WiFi. Restoring your EFS will not even work. You just have to re-root your phone.
Not to worry, your phone is OK, perfectly OK. But just quite a bit of work needs to be done. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032849
1. Download original stock firmware for your country and telco
2. Download mode that firmware back to your phone using Odin
3. Download mode to install recovery, this will re-root your phone above steps will un-root your phone
4. Re-flash ROM of your choice, not Kitkat for now

Thanx for getting back to me at least someone can help. After i followed the things you told me to do. It didn't put the stock ROM back on there so i'm stuck with omni.
After Odin loaded everything to the phone it just keeps going into recovery mode? is that normal or am i doing it wrong because the link you posted up doesn't mention anything about that :-s and i followed everything that link said to do.

Mate, firstly this is the hard way of recovering from "Unknown Baseband" issue. Finally the simple solution was only to download and install an app called SELinux Mode Changer from PlayStore. Then using that app, change SELinux from Enforcing to Permissive resolved everything related to IMEI, EFS, and Unknown Baseband. So hard way I did; i didn't know any better then.
By the way the link is correct. Start from the procedure from the line that says "Installation Instruction [Mobile odin is now have support for NOTE2]"
You must be in download mode (Vol Down, Home, & Power button all pressed together) to flash the Stock ROM using Odin. But where is your status now? If in recovery, can you re-install a ROM? If u r able to reboot back up to OMNI, just install the SELinux app and u will be good to go.
Cheers!

Hi there guys of XDA,
I have a major problem with my NOTE 2, after playing around with some ROMs, Cyanogenmod 11 4.4 NIGHTLY, 10.2 4.3 and Omni 4.4.1 NIGHTLY. I used CWM to load these ROMs with SUPERsu?. This is the first time i have flashed any ROMs onto my phone.
CM 11 was the first ROM i flashed on my NOTE 2 and that's when it started it couldn't detect my sim, It doesn't show me my IMEI number and my Baseband version. I didn't make a back-up of the stock because i didn't need one.
Now i'm stuck with a phone i can only use on Wifi is there anyone that can help? or if its happened to someone else? how did you sort it out?
Also can i restore this through KIES?

"Just sharing my experience in solving this issue. Hopefully it will help solve those who have similar issues.
I flashed a file which messed up my EFS partition. I had a backup and tried to use the available programs to restore my EFS using my backup. None worked. I even brought it to the samsung store, but they said they would change the motherboard and reprogram, and replacement and service would cost more than half the cost of a new N7105. I purchased the phone in another country. The people who had stores to repair phones gave up on my phone. They also offered to replace the motherboard for US$175.00.
My phone was originally under a DMB2 rom (from Singapore I think). I flashed a DMC3 rom, and used this for five months, until i encountered the problem.
I initially gave up and got a note 3. But i could not believe the phone was junk and people in XDA (as I observed) do not seem to give up.
After two weeks, i found the solution below, which brought my phone to working condition.
1. I flashed the stock rom N7105ZHDMI2_N7105ZZHDMI2_TGY from sammobile.
2. I flashed a pit file using Odin. The pit file is found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2137008
This restored the baseband. But IMEI was no longer NULL. However, it was still 0.
3. I downloaded and used the EFS Pro from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1308546
Before using EFS Pro, make sure you dial *#7284# and change the setting of Qualcomm USB Settings to
"RMNET + DM + MODEM"
I will not hurt your phone if you do, but EFS Pro will just not work. If you don't do this, the EFS Pro will display "Phone not responding" or something similar.
NOTE: I couldn't find the option with RMNET, but i used the option that also had an "RM*** + DM + MODEM".
After the phone is read, change back the IMEI to what it was originally.
Dial *#7284# again to change back to "MTP+ADB".
It's all working now.
Hope this is able to help someone. Now i have two working versions of Note.
Thanks to the authors of the program i used, and the people who uploaded the files used.
Cheers!

Nice, thanks!
For all others that might face "unknown baseband" with 4.3 to 4.4 flashing of ROMS, SELinux Mode Changer app from Playstore will fix that problem. Install the app and set SELinux from Enforcing to Permissive.
i hope your problem is fixed.
i'm not too familiar with CM roms, as i have been using stock since gingerbread. but you have to first do a full wipe before flashing from CM to stock. did you do that? perhaps you can go to recovery, do a full wipe, include Dalvik and Cache. Then go to bootloader and flash your rom.
by the way, my chipset is qualcomm yours may be exynos. if so, then i'm not confident about this solution because i have tried this several times, but only on note 2 LTE.
good luck!

Fix for not getting sim 1 and 2 and getting deep sleep ( software) ( ze550ml )

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING ANY HARM TO YOUR DEVICE AND IF YOU POINT YOUR FINGER AT ME THEN I WILL LAUGH AT YOU
YOU CAN ALSO APPLY THE SAME FIX FOR ZE551ML JUST FIND THE MOST STABLE STOCK KERNEL :fingers-crossed:​
Ok so I found out that our phones not detecting sim and staying awake all the time is a kernel related problem. So, what I did is replace the latest firmware's kernel with the previous most stable firmware's kernel. For eg, I replaced the kernel of 2.20.40.41 with the kernel of 2.15.40.11. It's a simple method just flash the boot.img of 2.15.40.11 firmware.
TO DO THIS DO THE FOLLOWING :​
1) Go to this link and download drivers and adb installer http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596 . Download the boot image of Z008 firmware -2.15.40.11 from here http://www.mediafire.com/folder/setyy42t2cymy#d96z0mq9cmr48 . Z008 stands for ze550ml and Z00A stands for ze551ml
2) Enable USB DEBUGGING in developers option.
3) Connect your phone with the computer and always allow it.
4) Copy the boot.img file of firmware 2.15.40.11 in the adb folder where you installed it.
5) Go to the adb folder ( where you installed your adb ) and Shift + right click then click " Open command window here"
6) Type adb devices to check if your device is connected ( it will show a list of zenfone 2 devices).
7) If connected then type "adb reboot bootloader" ( without ""). your zenfone will reboot to bootloader.
8) Then wait until your zenfone reboots to fastboot mode dont press anything until your phone reboots to fastboot mode.
9) after rebooting to fastboot mode type in cmd "fastboot flash boot (filename).img" (without "").
10)after flashing succesfully reboot your phone. And voila ! your phone will now get the sims and stay in deep sleep. if not detected at the first boot then reboot.
If your phone doesn't reboot or get into bootloop ( Well it shouldnt get bootlooped) then reflash the stock boot.img of the firmware you are currently running in the same process. You can also do this using twrp in the "install zip" function and flash img destination boot. If you have twrp always BACKUP ! . Only for all the stock firmwares. Update all the apps and disable the unwanted apps and charge it to 100% . I flashed it using TWRP but the above method should work.
Thanks for posting this. I had been noticing a deep sleep problem of late. Then, all of a sudden, SIM 1 isn't working. SIM 2 is, but then I don't have 3G/4G...
I tried a few previous stock kernels, and I had no luck. I'm going to flash a whole firmware now to see if that'll take care of it :/
Update: After flashing the latest firmware with adb sideload, I have SIM 1 back. I assume sleep will be better now, but haven't tested it. None of my data was lost during the sideload.
This was all done on a ze551ml.

Ok well the thing is just pick the previous kernel on which u got both of ur sims and you know it pretty well on which firmware u had both of the sims working. For me the most stable is 2.15.40.11(ze550ml) I just cant get any connection on sim 1 after 2.15.xx firmware. I haven't used a ze551ml but just use the similar technique. Hope ur sim keeps connected after u have flashed it.
Asus Zenfone 2, Sim 1 not working after TWRP restore
As it seems this may be an issue with TWRP, restore functions.
I did a backup of my Zenfone ZE551ML or Z00AD with 2.20.40.97, rooted and bootloader unlocked, with TWRP 2.8.7.2. Then I proceeded with installing the new Cyanongen 12.1 Rom, setup my apps and did another complete backup.
Although, I needed some data from a few apps, personal data, i.e. PGP personal key and a encrypted text backup key, that I forgot to put on my External MicroSD storage card before I did the Cyanongen 12.1 Rom upgrade/update. So upon Restoring using TWRP backup of my original stock rom, was the first sign of SIM 1 no longer working for me.
A subsequent Restore using TWRP with my new backup of my Cyanongen 12.1 Rom, now had the same issue, SIM 1 not working.
Install of modded rom went perfectly, as well as the backups.
I found another post here which should be linked to this thread I believe, which stated that other people have had issues with SIM 1 not working after a Restore using TWRP. Which was my experience as well. As a restore to either my stock and rooted backup, also had the SIM 1 issue, and then restoring back to my Cyanongen 12.1 backup still had the SIM 1 issue.
SIM 2 does still work, although the main issue here is cellular data only, as Zenfone 2 SIM2 does not allow cellular data.
*note I do have another Zenfone 2 that I don't use any SIM's for so, only wireless data, this issue isn't always an issue depending on your use.
link to other forum thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/sim1-doesnt-asus-zenfone-2-t3217474
Basically this thread states that installing any Rom, stock or any other Custom Rom available, as a new Install through either adb commands sideloading or using TWRP will fix it.
I can confirm that this worked for me, and my SIM 1 does indeed work again . I used the Paranoid Rom and recommended Gapps for this Rom as a new Install and TWRP to install it.
Only question I have, is can I do TWRP restores from previously created backups using adb command lines and sideloading them in order to switch between my Rom's?
I do know that I can sideload .zip's but not sure if TWRP backups can be one of those .zip's or not or what additional issue's it may create, if any. Forgive me if this is posted somewhere I did not search the forums before asking the above question. Just wanted to share my experience for others on this topic.
If so, then it would be a great workaround until the TWRP restore function gets fixed, that is if it is even a TWRP issue to resolve.
Moderators feel free to move this post if you think it doesn't belong here or could be better somewhere else.

Lost IMEI on g960f ds xef

Hi everybody.
I have rooted my device few days ago to flash Havoc. With success.
One day after, i tried crdroid but since return on Havoc, my 2 IMEIs doesn't exist.
I remember i wiped by error every partitions in twrp. I wiped system, data and vendor.
So i tried to flash with Odin a Stock Samsung rom which i've downloaded on sammobile site.
I tried with nand erase, with erase on twrp...
Everything works well but no success with my IMEIs.
So i return again on Havoc waiting resolve my problem.
I made research on the web to try to resolve it.
I saw IMEI can return with Factory reset and flash with odin.
I Wonder if i can change it in a file of my device such as build.prop and others.
Here's my screens to let you see.
But for now, my device became a tablet ??
Thx a lot for help

First of all you need to regenerate EFS partition cause your's is lost, also you can't use other device EFS cause u will be ended with IMEI but not services which means u can't make calls or use data
Check this out
Fixed IMEI

That's wright. I can use my phone but i'm unable to use calls and data. I can enter my Pin code and my provider is recognized. That's all.
I tried everything i could find but no success.
I know it's EFS partition causes that. But i'm unable to know how i can restore it. I tried flash official stock rom from sammobile with Odin but it's the same.
I Wonder If a downgrade should help me.
I looked to your link but i can't find process. But i'm in the same case. I just want to restore my IMEIs
So if i can't restore my IMEIs, i think i'll return my device on warantee.
Thanks a lot.

Bluetooth problem after flashing TWRP

Hi,
I flashed TWRP on my unlocked Redmi Note 8T with MIUI Global 12.5.5. Everything was great until I rebooted it and saw Bluetooth error which pops every time I try to turn Bluetooth on or just randomly during usage of the device. I also tried to re-flas TWRP with Orange fox but it unfortunatelly did not help. Now I have no idea what to do but there are also some other people with this problem (for example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/y9zsak
).
Does anybody know any solution? Thanks!
Btw Orange fox is for ginko devices, I did not find version for willow
I had the exact same problem when I tried to root my stock rom in ginkgo. I was getting a lot of "app keeps stopping" pop ups, and that also included bt. My bt was completely broken until I changed rom. Also I'm guessing this had happened when I had rooted my phone with magisk, not by flashing recovery itself. Perhaps you could try to uninstall magsik, and see it it resolves the issue for you. If that would be the case, then you would have found your problem, and maybe you can flash a custom rom to safely root your phone.
Thanks for reply, but i did not have magisk flashed on my phone. I only had installed the app, prepared apk file and did nothing in TWRP (Orange fox) , just flashed a recovery with my PC, checked that it is working and rebooted device. Anyway I tried to do it only because of acces to NFC and Gpay which is now blocked.
As you also said, I would like to try custom rom (like LineageOS) because it seems like bad idea to have a stock room on an unlocked phone. Only the problem is how to backup data like data from apps, games etc.
So now it tried one of my ideas, which was to install Magisk (root) and uninstall it but it also did not help (I expected that)

To backup data simply copy your personal files in pc or sdcard. And to backup data in apps, take back-up of only those apps and where you need to backup. Don't take a complete backup using some app. That consumes a lot of space and make the newly rom feel "not so new". Most apps don't require you to take back-up offline these days. I usually backup only my personal files before flashing rom.
Yeah, that's true. But don't you know how to backup data from these "offline" apps? I was trying to solve this also before unpocking bootloader like a year ago but unsuccessfuly.
Also, which rom should I choose? I'm deciding between LineageOS and Pixel experience.
So I have LOS installed but I can´t install other zip files (like Google apps). Im only getting error: signature verification failed while. Im using LOS recovery so where is the problem?
Solved it!
Hey @vasik006 ! I know this is very late and you might have found the solution yourself, but I found the solution to this problem. Since yesterday I was trying to root my ginkgo with twrp, using magisk delta and had exact same issue. Joyose and bluetooth keeps stopping, and don't work. Simply factory reset ( I also formatted data) in twrp, and in next boot bluetooth should work. Then you can simply install the magisk apk and let it do its thing. No need to flash again since it has already made changes to boot file that can't be overriden by resetting phone.
Thanks, this might help someone else with this problem. I have already formatted my phone, installed Lineage OS and everything is ok
For me, the problem with BT and Joyose occurs only with TWRP v3.7.x. I went back to TWRP v3.6.1_9-0 but now backups are not working.

TWRP is invaluable for backing up the system before making changes like theming etc. and I can take a TWRP backup to any of my (all the same) devices and restore the whole thing in just a few minutes. So convenient! I really couldn't imagine life without TWRP. TWRP enables me to clone my device in case of hardware failure. All my settings and all my apps and all my custom configurations which would otherwise take hours/days to setup - BAM! Presto! on the new device and running perfectly.
TWRP + NeoBackup are essential. TWRP as described, and NeoBackup to roll back breaking updates to apps when devs butcher them, break them, and/or just remove really useful features. I also disconnect apps that get ruined by an update from the Play Store so they don't keep coming up when I check for updates.

I would advise you to read the posts again. They were asking about how to take backup of "personal apps" which twrp can't do, and if they are changing ROM then twrp backup won't be of any use to them. Therefore, whatever you're trying to tell here doesn't really help the discussion.

TWRP does backup personal apps and their settings. Once you restore a TWRP backup, you have everything back except media files - images, videos, documents, etc. The launcher icons, the apps, the system settings - everything is a perfect clone which you can restore on a new device (same model, of course).
I actually came across this thread searching to see if others had a problem where merely flashing TWRP caused Bluetooth to crash (and Atmos).
Use OrangeFox
is there anyone use BT-fix-for-PE-20190618.zip to fix this problem ?
I'm on an ROG Phone II with the same issue.
The "fix" is to wipe in TWRP and install Magisk BEFORE you leave for your first boot and NEVER come back to TWRP as the issue will return the second recovery is booted.

From what I can tell, this is correct. 3.6_XX-X allows me to come and go from TWRP as much as I please without incurring the bug, however, I haven't tested backup though I can't see a reason why they wouldn't work.
Are these existing backups that aren't working or the whole backup function in general?

It seems to be a twrp issue. What version do you have? And what version of magisk do you have?
I have recently flashed miui 12 (android 10) after bricking the phone using qtel. I noticed the Bluetooth problem last week and didn't find a fix. I have twrp 3.6.2 and magisk 25.1. I had twrp 3.7.1 but if failed to decrypt data using pattern so I rolled back to 3.6.2. And I thought that magisk had to do with the Bluetooth problem so I rolled back to 25.1 from 26.
I still can't use the Bluetooth, and I don't have time to reset the phone, I just finished restoring everything
I CAN CONFIRM
go back to the previous twrp 3.6.2 version + wipe factory reset or simply format data solve sucesfuly solve installation issue of Magisk 26.1 or Magisk Delta 25210

I can't afford resetting my phone right now , don't have enough time. I'll let it like that for some months.
Edit : I have miui 12.0.6 installed (android 10) and I'm not planning to upgrade since I have much better battery life (even better than every mod I tried). I wander if I flash miui rom from recovery can fix it?
Edit 2: flashing the rom from recovery didn't fix it
