Hey. I use T-Mobile for my SIM 1 and Verizon for SIM 2. T-Mobile is used for data.
In OxygenOS/FreedomOS, this setup works great. However, I've flashed CM14 today and am wondering why my SIM2 (Verizon) doesn't work at all.
Any ideas? I'd post in the official thread but don't have the require post count.

Hay guys i just recently flashed my g2 ls980 with stock zve firmware. Everything us working fine except that sim is not being detected no matter what i try. I am really confused as i am a total newbie and am unable to understand technical stuff.
With stock ZVE (that's pure Sprint stock) which SIM are you referring to because with that stock ROM on the Sprint G2 the only SIM card that will ever be recognized at all will be one from Sprint to enable LTE network support.
So... I don't like to assume things, hence the question: what SIM card are you talking about?
The LS980, aka the Sprint G2 variant and the same phone I have, is network locked aka SIM locked to Sprint only if you're running a pure stock ROM which is exactly what ZVE is. The only ways to get the SIM unlocked for other network operation would be a) do a somewhat complicated set of tasks to get it to work (not worth the hassles really and certainly beyond your admitted "newbie" status with respect to this level of tech) or b) install a custom ROM like CloudyG2 (the name just changed today, prior it was known as CloudyG3 but that confused people with the LG G3 and they were trashing their phones trying to install it - it's a G2 ROM ported from the actual G3).
There are other ROMs as well that unlock the LS980 for GSM operation aka regular SIM cards, you may end up using one of them to get proper GSM functionality - LTE support is spotty depending on the networks in your area and the Sprint G2 only supports a few LTE network bands.
Thank you very much for your reply @br0adband. I was able to use my GSM (telenor) sim again but i encountered some problems. Here is the link to my post:

I have a T-Mobile Note 3 running on the latest stock rom N900TUVUFOB6 . I have rooted the phone and tried the Chainfire's Region Lock Away app but it doesn't work (I guess it doesn't work on newer firmwares and also I don't have a T-Mobile SIM)
I want to know a couple of things:
1. Can anyone recommend some reliable website where I can buy the unlock code for it. I've heard many of these websites are scams.
2. The previous owner of this T-Mobile Note 3 switched to MetroPCS and was using a MetroPCS sim in it, so now when I buy unlock code what to do I select (MetroPCS or T-Mobile) ?
I always look for the cheapest unlocker on eBay with good feedback.
metropcs is owned by tmobile so you would pick tmobile
I recently got my Moto Z2 Force bootloader unlocked and rooted. I was messing around with a Quick Settings app and found a dual SIM settings. I was wondering if this phone does come in a dual SIM variant or if it could be made into a dual SIM phone I have the T-Mobile Edition.
The wizard was able to launch. the other settings shortcuts are not working they keep force closing.
You can follow the procedure for the Moto Z to modify build.prop and changing out the modem file for the dual sim variant.
Method 1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/guide-to-enable-dualsim-singlesim-t3594529
Method 2: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/guide-dual-sim-mod-signle-sim-moto-z-t3606528
Test it out and let us know what happens. I don't own this device, but if it works, I might own it soon. Remember to make backups.
I look through those links you gave me. I'd be willing to give it a try but there's no official TWRP currently meaning that there is no definite way back if I mess up. If there is dumped images I can Flash with fastboot to recover if something goes wrong I would be willing to give it a try.
The files for the modem are in the same location as the Moto Z and Z play also I need to figure out how I am going to get the second sim to be secured in the sim tray

The second method doesn't require modifying system files and everything is done via fastboot and adb. As far as securing the second sim, could you post what the sim tray looks like? My last Moto device was the Moto X Pure, which was stolen in the Philippines. If anyone in the Philippines wants to help me recover it, please PM me.
Here is what the tray looks like I'll do some testing tonight when I get home
Usually Motorola ships their phones with the same sim tray as their international dual sim variants, except with the second sim slot covered up.
When I was messaging Motorola's support today they said the us version is single sim only but there is a different sim tray for the dual SIM version that is available outside the us. I still have to call in and verify over the phone and see if it can be ordered
So when I called in they said that there is not a dual-sim capable after it's been registered in a US Network and then they wouldn't answer my question if I could even get a dualsim tray so I guess I can't

In Italy we have carrier TIM which is selling single SIM (unlocked) @ about 685,00 €.
Unbranded are dual SIM in most of EU markets but prices are high and availability is low: in Italy Amazon sell them @ about 990,00 €, while on other EU markets best prices could be 850,00 €, rarely less....
I've got mine from a *very good* German seller on eBay... they still have one available @ about 715,00 € shipped which is a *great* price to date...
Hello guys.
I have xt1789 03 variant. It's a single Sim but I was wondering what if I put another Sim and give it a try.
I did and it detected another Sim as well.
It was working flawlessly but when I heard that some of the other variant roll out pie update and people are using it.
I try to flash the pie ROM and it flashed successfully but the problem I am getting now is that the IMEI I had on the phone shows 0
I tried to revert it back to stock Oreo and noughat but after flashing I got baseband unknown wifi and Sim signals lost. Even Bluetooth was not working.
I am wondering if there is a way That I could revert it back to Oreo or noughat so I will have the old baseband and working wifi and both the Sims.
Please help me out so I could get my Moto z2 force back to original condition.
Right now what I did for getting the wifi back I flashed the modem NON-HLOS.bin
I lost the sim signals.
Bootloader unlocked
Hi guys,
I bought a brand new Lenovo P2 in 2017. It came with MM, I did all the official OTA update, until Nougat S251.
The phone had this annoying bug: 4G+ (LTE_CA) and tethering worked only with 2 sims on: no matter if sim 2 was registered or not (I use an out-of-date sim), it needed 2 sims to work in this way. With only one sim (no matter if in slot 1 or 2), the 4G+ was not showing and tethering didn't work. Also, with only one sim the EDGE network was showed ad "G", with two sims it shows as "E".
A couple of days ago, I unlocked the booltoader. I flashed official LOS 14.1, it works nice, but it has the same issue. Someone told me that it is a modem bug and it could be solved flashing back to stock MM via fastboot and doing all the OTA updates until Nougat. But I did it when I bought the phone, so I don't know it can solve the bug.
Anyone can help me in solving this?
Thanks
Hello,
I will try to keep this short and sweet.
I am on US Mobile using the black sim (verizon towers) and currently have a LG v30 that no longer can make calls due to Verizon shutting down cdma beginning of 2023.
I have my brothers Lg G8 ThinQ phone purchased from US Cellular. It is now rooted and I followed this guide to add LTE support for other carriers:
[GUIDE] [NO ROOT REQUIRED] [EPIC UPDATE] How to add VoLTE support for other carriers to the G8 (and other Qualcomm powered LG devices too!)
This guide will not work if you are running Android 12 :( I'm gonna keep the intro simple, been a longtime user here on XDA, and recently I found that my T-Mobile LG G8 only supported VoLTE and VoWifi on, you guessed it, T-Mobile! So I did some...
forum.xda-developers.com
I used the mbn files provided from the guide and loaded a few of the US carriers. Upon putting in the sim, and trying to change settings to get it to work, I can only get data to work but texting/calling (in/our) does not work at all. When attempting to make a call, the 4G indicator also disapears. I contacted US Mobile thinking it maybe was a APN issue but they stated on their end that the phone is incompatible.
Not sure what else to try. My only hunch is maybe reloading mbn files from a downloaded KDZ but I have no clue if that will work (also to download 5 gigabytes takes a few days for me).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
attached is both the phone info and a snapshot of PDC of it showing VZN got activated on the phone with the sim in it.
EDIT:
For if anyone else comes across this. My solution was to crossflash (using the guide in the LG G8 fourms) the open market KDZ and I went with G820QM30c_00_NAO_US_OP_0103.kdz as I had android 11 already installed and that it was the A11 version download the most from here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmg820qm-firmwares/
I did have to correct my FTM partition but that crossflashing guide links to some good solutions.
*Note: Only issues that I have seen with the version i flashed is i cant add an APN. The button is just missing so had to install an app to view it, and when receiving gifs, they turn into pictures only. both things I can live without as not volte works on verizon (us mobile).
So, which rom would normally work with that carrier? I'd guess the us open version would work, why not just flash that on the G8? I've no idea what bands us cellular rom supports, but I'd trust the correct rom (for the current carrier) to work rather than following that thread to 'add bands'.
I used that thread once, didn't accomplish what I wanted. Not to say it doesn't work, I didn't try that long. But have flashed numerous roms re diff carriers, that always does what it should re correct bands.
Frankly, I am not sure if my reply will be helpful, and I know nothing about the US Mobile specifically, but just wanted to comment as an owner of a G8 originally from the US Cellular. Feel free to ignore this if it seems irrelevant...
I bought my phone second-hand with an original US Cellular A11 stock ROM. Later cross-flashed it to the Canadian Open when A12 became available. Rooted with Magisk. I am using the phone on the Rogers network in Canada. On both ROMs I have no issues with data, voice and text - everything works, including concurrent voice calls and data usage.
A (possibly) dumb question - have you tried the original US Cellular ROM as is, before diving into the guide to add LTE support for other carriers? Is there a chance that it would just work?
Regarding the previous reply, I couldn't find a US Open ROM available for the 820UM models (only for QM), but you could try Canadian Open, for example. My point is to try and make it work with one of the ROMs as is, without messing with some extra steps that may or may not work.

Yeah, I guess i understood that as being able to add the functionality. But after more research, flashing a different rom is more likely to be the solution, which confuses me about adding profiles if it doesn't truly work?

So yeah, after more research, looks like flashing either the open market or the verizon specific variant would work. I did try it first without any modifications to the us cellular rom but still not everything worked. I have a Lg v30, but few things that are no longer ideal was the recent CDMA discontinuation from verizon at the start of this year, also had recently dropped it and the screen flashes bright white light in your eyes at random times... so lol, not ideal.
What Im probably going to be trying when I get the time is flashing the open market, and if that dosent work, it seems the verizon specific would.
Thanks both for the inputs!
