Phone SIM card issue after Firmware change.

I am having problems with my phone recognizing my SIM.
To give some background, I soft bricked my phone flashing a different firmware, trying to go to GPE. I got the phone back to stock with RUU, re-unlocked bootloader and I am also S-Off. I flashed the MIUI Rom and it could not recognize my SIM, so I flashed Tasks ROM and the same problem. I then flashed this radio “1.16.21331931.LA11G_20.31A.4145.02L http://d-h.st/NUa | Thanks cruzin_cruzing!” found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736921. That did not fix the issue.
When I type *#06# to see my IMEI nothing shows up, but when I look up my IMEI in fastboot using “fastboot oem readimei” it shows the correct IMEI. Does this have something to do with the issue?
Any help on this would be great, I have hit a wall doing everything I know to do.

I had kind of the same problem. I went to Settings -> Data -> Network -> Choose network automaticly.
After the phone was registred on the network againg, the problem was gone.

This did not work, it was not able to find a network. Also, I forgot to say that my phone will not let me add new APNs.

Try a factory reset from recovery.

Sorry to say this but why do you open a new thread for your troubles when you dont even get back to the old one and continue there !

Not very nice of you......and you could have used that thread to continue with your issues.
People put time and effort in your issue it would be nice to get back to them when you get it solved.

Ultimately your goal is to have a working device now right.
Grab the stock ruu and get it back to stock ,from there maybe just use it for texting,messaging,Facebook, etc.

Sorry if I should have kept it in one thread, the solution presented in that thread worked. The problems here are unrelated and started after I tried to flash the firmware through RUU. Thanks everyone for the time put into helping myself and everyone on xda.

I went back to stock with no luck. From there I was able to flash a different ROM, and still no luck. I will try going back to stock again.

I am using the SIM right now in another phone, so its not bad. I think the problem has something to do with the IMEI. The phone shows no IMEI when I type *#06#, it is just blank. But, in fastboot, it shows the correct IMEI when I type "fastboot oem readimei"
What would make the phone not recognize the IMEI when it shows it correctly in fastboot?

The phone does turn on and everything is functional except that I cannot connect to the network, so I have no signal. I have checked the apns, there are no apns listed, but my phone will not let me add any. I believe that is due to the IMEI issues.

I had a similar problem when I converted to GPE, what I did is find a radio that works with my version of the device, flashed it and solved the problem. There is a thread collection of radios on the forum.

I did some work over the holidays on my phone to try and get it working again with no luck. I upgraded the firmware downgraded the firmware, installed several ROMs, went back to stock and I still have the same issue. The phone can't seem to read the IMEI number, which is causing it to not be able to connect to ATTs network, but I can see the correct IMEI in fastboot. Below are a couple of screenshots I took while working on it. If anyone can help come up with new ideas on how to fix this, that would be helpful.

HTC One M9 Stuck in bootloader loop???

Hi Guys cut a long story short bought a "new" M9 from ebay. apparently it came rooted, alerted by installing my banking app, so I downloaded an app Super user to " un-root" the phone, however this made android not to load.
TDRW was installed when I got the phone.... ebay user lying saying I tried to root the phone, which I didnt and never have . Tried to install custom ROMS but all i'm getting is the Bootloader screen when I reboot. Firmware version 1.32.651.30, tried to update firmware but I get an error that the phone is not connected to USB after the program tries to send and it hangs on the picture of a phone with a green circle in it(error 155) . I tried Android Revolution ROM and all i'm getting now after that ROM sucessfully installed is the phone looping into the HTC bootloader screen....Any help is much appreciated...I have a brand new shiny HTC brick...Im willing to pay the user that comes up with a solution within reason....
Phone is S-OFF and I can get to HTC Recovery and TDRW .

Download ruu from above link. Rename it OPAJIMG.zip. Copy it to an sdcard and put sdcard in phone. Reboot to download mode.
The phone should auto detect the file and prompt to install it :good:

No unfortunately not. When the ruu installs it will wipe your internal storage. So it must be on an sdcard.
You can flash it with fastboot if you can get a USB connection to your PC

For this I'm not sure. Sprint usually have different hardware to International models. Which means you normally have to use Sprint firmware. I'm not sure if this applies to the M9 though. It was certainly the case with the M7.
Was the phone working with your O2 service before the problem started?

The ruu is definitely suitable for that device. Sprint phones are designed to use US CDMA networks while International phones are designed to use GSM networks.
I am also in the UK and have always used international GSM devices. I don't know if it's possible to convert a Sprint CDMA phone to use 4G in the UK.
But that ruu will return the device to stock unrooted Sprint software. It will get the phone working but I can't guarantee you will be able to gain 4G access as it could be subject to hardware difference in the Sprint device.

Check this thread, sorry but it seems that Sprint devices cannot use 4G on a GSM network.
If the device was s-off when you received it then it was definitely tampered with before you purchased it. Maybe you can get a refund or a replacement GSM device by going back to the seller. Using the RUU will remove all traces of root but the device will remain s-off.

Obtaining Root/unlocked BootloaderU

So kinda glancing around and trying to dig, it seems if you order the phone from Google Store, you can unlock bootloader and root on any OS. If obtained from Verizon, you cannot root if it already has 7.1.1? Is this statement correct? So it seems to best order it from Google Store it seems?

You have it exactly right.

I just came across the same consensus. If it helps, I have the Pixel XL 128 with Verizon, version 7.1.1 and my build is NOF26V.

The verizon pixel xl's are still shipping with NDE63P, which is 7.1 and still not patched against depixel8. So for the time being you can get one from either.

Not from what I've seen. People all over are saying the Verizon units are now shipping with 7.1.1. Get it from Google if you want to be able to unlock.

I wont argue that, i received mine in early feb, the 5th i think, so it may have changed. So to be safe google is the right choice, i just couldnt pass up the chance to get it for half price, so i took a chance and it paid off. Literally.

Im very disappoint and upset, I got Pixel XL came with 7.1.1 (NOF26V) VZW So, I have been research on the website and mostly They said 7.1 to 7.1.1 "early" It's seem I can't get unlock bootloader anymore, but maybe in the future could be exploit patch?

The answer is maybe, but since the guys that did it before i dont believe are even working on another, i wouldnt get your hopes up.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Verizon is definitely still shipping them with only 7.1. I just got mine 4 days ago and could see it was wanting to update. I didn't take it because I was trying to unlock bootloader with depixel8. Depixel8 wasn't working i can't remember the error but it was hanging on the first step, trying to push it to /data/local/tmp. I tried rebooting to start over and when it came back up it had 7.1.1 on it and now I can no longer try unlocking or rooting. So you can still get it from Verizon, just don't let it reboot before you get it unlocked
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I wouldn't even take the risk at this point. Spend a lil more out of pocket and by it directly from Google if you're looking to unlock. Some vzw models are shipping with 7.1.1 now. Would kinda suck to open the box and not be able to unlock. Best bet for anyone is to buy from Google if you plan on unlocking.

Are you sure you cannot root even using the TWRP method?

Actually looks like you have to use depixel8 to unlock the bootloader in order to flash SU with TWRP, I am hoping I get one that has the older version on it and isn't on 7.1.1
I don't feel like kicking out 860 when I can just have it billed by 30 a month to my verizon account.

Do not follow anything in that link, it is very out of date. And correct, you can't flash or boot TWRP until the bootloader is unlocked. And you cant root it until you get twrp running
If your Verizon phone comes with 7.1.1 or you update it to 7.1.1 before you unlock it you are done. Up to you if the gamble is worth it, just making sure you know what is what.

Well I am going to find out tomorrow when I get my pixel, is there an easy way to make sure it doesn't run the OTA update when opening it from the box? If I keep Wifi off and don't put in my SIM will that guarantee it or can you even get to the point to check the version without a SIM loaded? I am keeping my Galaxy Note ...does the Pixel come with the SIM loaded already and require activation?
I want to make sure it doesn't take the OTA update if I am lucky enough to get one without it. I use the Wifi tethering often when I am travelling as well as other root apps like Ti-Backup, Root Explorer, Ect...

Don't install the SIM, skip setup, and no wifi. You may have to connect WiFi for a second or two before the slider in dev options will work.

Best bet would be to use the Android toolkit in the Dev area and load depixel8? I've rooted 3 phones before but this one is quite different. I've used ADB, ect...just trying to find the "right" way to do it, can't seem to find an exact proper way other than this :

This is my plan, skip everything, get into the phone, hope to god it's 7.1, enable USB Debugging and Dev options from Settings...then use depixel8 to unlock the boot loader, then I am lost. Checked around 40 threads on here and have found 10 different ways to root...this is the XDA root :
How to Install SuperSU on your Pixel
As Chainfire mentions in his Google+ post, you will need to first download the boot-to-root images for the Pixel or Pixel XL off of his website. You can click here to download the zip for the Google Pixel, or click here to download the zip for the Google Pixel XL. After downloading the zip, you need to fastboot boot the boot-to-root image, DO NOT fastboot flash the image! In other words, the only command you’ll need for the two devices is the following:
fastboot boot boot-to-root.img
Wait a few minutes, and after a few reboots you’ll be booted up with full root access. Yay!

There are a lot of ways because this phone was so different, so a lot of what you see is the testing and changes that can from that.
So, after it is unlocked update it to 7.1.1 and then:
Download 2.7.9 SR3 SuperUser and copy it to your phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
Download TWRP RC3 and copy it to your fastboot folder.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/twrp-alpha1-pixel-devices-t3500312
Using other versions than above will bootloop you. Reboot the phone into bootloader mode. Power and Vol down.
fastboot BOOT twrpFilename.img Where twrpfilename.img is the name of the TWRP file you just downloaded. Note is says boot in the command, not flash.
That will boot the phone into TWRP. Select Install and install the SU zip you copied to the phone above. And reboot the phone, done.
---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------
And here is the link to the proper fastboot version.

The box that the phone comes in has the software version on it. So you'll know before even powering it on. I got my regular pixel last week and it had 7.1.

Best is to disable automatic OTA upon opening the box when you find that you have 7.1. So there is a better chance of getting the exploit to work even after reboots.

Exactly, power on with no sim and skip any set up including wifi. No reason to do any set up as the bootloader unlock with wipe the device. Enable ADB and get to unlocking straight away. No sim and no wifi means there is zero way it can update itself on you.

Nexus 5x boot issues

my nexus is giving me the Firmware Update screen "dont unplug usb until after firmware completes". i looked this up and ran the LGUP following the instructions for it, but it always freezes at 46% progress in the application and 49% on the phone. tried going into the bootloader and throwing it into recovery mode, but it just goes straight back into the Firmware Update screen. bootloader is locked (Device State: locked) and secure boot is enabled. tried to unlock through NRToolkit but it always throws me back into the Firmware update screen with a "waiting for device" window whenever i try any of the options. apparently its recognized as a fastboot device through ADB, but i still cant flash anything on it cause its locked
heeeeeeeeelp, i wanna get this thing running again

is that possible to do with a locked bootloader and/or usb debugging not enabled?

Of course, it's the factory way.

That link is to a slim Rom. The OP is not going to be able to flash that. He's also not going to be able to flash the factory image with a locked bootloader.

OP, were you using the LGUP tool to upgrade the firmware?

I've never used that tool so won't be much help. I did just try to install it but didn't get it completely set up. And I don't really want to try it on my 5x. Getting into the bootloader and recovery doesn't work?

i can get it into bootloader but it says Device: Locked and Secure Boot: Enabled, which i'm assuming means the bootloader is locked. i cant get it into recovery from the bootloader as it throws me straight back into the firmware update screen

I don't know what to tell you other than hope someone who has used that tool sees this thread. May I ask why you tried the tool in the first place?

yep! i got the phone while it was locked by FRP and the seller did not have the login credentials of the last google account. i'm starting to understand why the price for it was so low haha
i followed a guide that recommended using the LGUP app and i gave that a shot, except i believe this phone is well and truly bricked to oblivion

i'm no stranger to messing around with fastboot/adb, and i thought i'd be able to work my way around this but its starting to seem a little out of my hands

I have no experience on the Europe version. I made the jump from T-Mobile version to India to International on 10.0.7 ok. Maybe you need to go back to stock then to a lower version? Or back to stock then redo everything including downloading files. I've had issues with posted bootloader images and created my own patched bootloader for 10.0.9 which solved my problem. Maybe someone else has a better idea.
