Question E-Sim after upgrade / software change - Google Pixel 6 Pro

Hi,
is here someone with experiences about E-SIM? when ive got pixel 5 with 2 active SIMs, one plastic, second one E-SIM and tried custom ROM, E-SIM was blocked, not active when booted those custom ROM, when i was returning back to previous stock ROM the E-SIM was still unactive and it was needed replacement for a new plastic sim/reactivation.
My question is, will this happend when i want to flash stock update to latest stock ROM via android flasher web or adb commands?
Every activation to E-SIM or back to plastic is from our operator 10e
Thank you.

No idea but I use e-sim and did flash a stock OTA update as well as custom kernel (and also factory resets and root) without a problem.

eSIM is persistent if I'm not mistaken. when I flashed CalyxOS, my eSIM was still active.
did you try flashing the full images (on both slots) ? if not try the official Pixel Repair site:
Google Pixel - Update and Software Repair

KDDI Marshmallow update WARNING.

I was running the Taiwan ROM on my phone but went back to the Japan version when the Marshmallow update was released. Now the phone is screwed
It started off with the phone asking for a 'Network subsystem code' so the phone was essentially network locked and could only be accessed if the SIM was removed. I re-flashed the Taiwan ROM thinking it would go back to how it was but it still asked for the unlock code.
Maybe this was where I went wrong, but I bought an unlock code from eBay, entered it but after it rebooted it still asked for the code.
I tried a few TWRP backups but nothing worked and now it doesn't recognise a SIM at all. Nothing.
It's randomly restarting and I've also noticed that the IMEI number isn't showing up in the settings.
I have no idea what to do so if you have any ideas, please let me know...
Possible Fix
Try to flash misc.img. Its supposed to fix simlock for the taiwan version, and its the same image for both. You can find it at the bottom of my conversion guide.
Don't worry, you should flash your phone return to rom stock KDDI 5.0.2
then flash file fix sim pass: 8jtv
by adb change.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash misc misc.img
fastboot reboot
or unlock sim by xtc2clip
I have got no signal after I change my sim in KDDI 6.0 rom. I am sure that my sim card (UK sim) is not damaged, but my phone is not able to register to the network. I am now thinking of flashing back to JP 5.0.2 again
How about Taiwan?

If you dont need nfc, the taiwan ROM is better in every other way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/butterfly-3/development/stock-rom-stock-5-0-2-cure-t3356875
or if you NEED to have nfc, you may need to manually scan for network(s) in settings and after that replace the apns-conf.xml file with one from cyanogenmod or any other universal rom, because data only works on its known network (au). You will also need to change from SMS to Messages apk and maybe change the call center number. (stock htc text messaging app)

Did you solve it finally? I had the same problem, but I solved It by flashing a ROM on fastboot.

Verizon Pixel XL on T-Mobile

So I just bought a Verizon Pixel XL off ebay with the intention of using it on T-Mobile because I was under the impression that taking it to T-Mobile was no issue and would be no different than using a google store one on T-Mobile. Although I am reading some concerning threads about the bootloader issue. If this phone happens to have 7.11 will I be unable to flash the T-Mobile factory image onto it? Or is there really no benefit in doing this anyway? Do I and will I be able to flash at least the T-Mobile radio over to it?
Then if it is before 7.11 and I unlock the bootloader right away can I keep it unlocked even if I play around with images and stuff such as trying out the O beta? or do I have to avoid Factory images once its unlocked and only use custom roms?
Thanks in advanced!

Only thing that matters is if the origin of the phone is Verizon or Google.
If the origin is Google you can install the Google factory image and use it on anywhere, unlock the bootloader, root and have a grand old time.
If the origin is Verizon you are relegated to the Verizon image regardless of where you use the phone, no flashing for you.
Compare the build code of your phone to the build codes on google factory image website and you will know what you have.
good luck

Well this was a display model I guess, no specifics on what kind of store but its listed as being a Verizon model. So I may be SOL. As far as working on T-Mobile if that is the case are there any downsides to using the Verizon model aside from flashing?

Verizon model is fine for what the phone is.
You shouldn't have any issues using it on T-Mobile USA . Verizon phones are sim unlocked . The only thing with the Verizon version is that if it had the update where they don't let the bootloader unlock then you can't unlock it and root. Besides that you can use it on TMobile as a regular Google phone.

This is partially false, I'm using a Verizon pixel XL on TMO and when I dropped out of beta, Google rolled out the TMO branch to my phone.
If you can depixl8 it and unlock the bootloader, you can flash custom Roms or the factory images to your heart's desire with no issues. Just never relock the bootloader, since it won't be able to be unlocked again(if it truly is a Verizon pixel XL)

You can sideload updates to a locked device so OP could sideload a current ota from tmobile. It can in fact beneficial to run the tmobile software on tmo because of optimizations for network connectivity
If you haven't updated it yet and its version is older than last November, you should be able to unlock the bootloader. Once it's been updated to a newer version, it can't be unlocked.

I guess that'll be the big question. If the phone was only a display model since it was released. I wonder if the display models get the updates pushed automatically... I will find out tomorrow.
Well the phone came with 7.1.2 so no fun for me. Thanks for the info from everyone.
Very interesting, I stuck a T-mobile SIM in it and I can now switch on OEM unlocking. It was greyed out before I put the SIM in.

I have not I will this evening or tomorrow though. I was just under the impression that all Verizon Editions had that switch disabled no matter what SIM card went it. As I stated before this was a display model, I got it for next to nothing due to very minor screen burn from the demo mode, I can barely see it so i'm good with what I paid. So I wonder if display models weren't Verizon models? Or maybe this was a third party Verizon store and not corporate. Either way is there anyway to tell which one it is? The SKU on the back is G-2PW2100-021-B and it has build number N2G47E on it, which is not the verizon build I don't think.

Google points to that being a Verizon SKU. But with the build number being non-Verizon, you might be able to unlock it.

Count your blessings, most of us with Verizon models are still locked on other carriers.

Hi, I was about to buy Google Pixel XL off the eBay how can I tell if its Verizon phone or Google phone? I asked two sellers, they didn't know if it was Verizon on Google phone, they are just selling as Unlocked GSM , I never bought Google phone so I'm very new to it, per my understanding Verizon phones wont able to have unlock bootloaders? and Google phones will do? also Google phones can work with Verizon and GSM phones without any issues or they are only good with GSM?
you were saying something about build id to check

I went to this webpage but I dont see any differences in model # for both ver?

I literally just did this 2 months ago. Got a pixel xl and it was a verizon phone but I have Tmobile. The phone can be unlocked, it can be rooted, it can be rommed, yes it can! Mine came with 711 or 712 cant remember but whatever doesnt matter. Just follow the guide in the other thread by @Homeboy76, it's a GREAT read and tutorial. It will put you from stock nougat to stock pie, but afterwards you can go to nougat, oreo, or pie. I know because after I did it, i went to an custom rom, then to a custom oreo rom, back to stock pie, back to custom pie lol. I would put a link up to the thread but idk how to do hyperlinks lmao, i skipped that day of school.

I just did mine recently. I had an unlocked ATT G965U. I flashed it with an unbranded G965U1 pie update and it's working perfectly. Another member gave me a pretty straightforward and intuitive guideline. I am not if he wants me to share it public as there a probably threads here explaining the process already but if you send me a PM, I can share it there. If you're going to T Mobile, you might have to go unbranded first, then go Tmobile. I am not 100 percent and maybe someone else can confirm that.
You factory reset before flashing, factory reset after flashing.... the flash Tmobile firmware, then factory reset again, then proceed to setup.

How to flash latest firmware with TWRP?

So I've downloaded latest FW from Sammobile, and would like to flash it to my phone (SM-G960F).
The Sammobile firmware page describes how to flash the FW using Odin.
I believe these instructions assume a stock phone. Does having TWRP affect the Odin flashing procedure at all? I'm guessing that it will simply restore the stock recovery, and I will need to reinstall TWRP.
UPDATE:
I just flashed the FW following Sammobile directions without issue.
You need to reinstall TWRP after flashing. The OEM unlock setting was already enabled, so I did not need to format data or do dm-verity thing you do when installing TWRP, but YMMV.
Hi. Random question- I have an unlocked Samsung Z Fold 3 (SM-F926UI) that I bought from Samsung in the US. With the new software update it now shows the eSIM option in my phone. I am currently carrying a work phone and a personal phone. I would love to just carry one mobile phone instead of two. What I learnt is that I can transfer both my phone numbers to my Z Fold 3 (one physical + 1 eSIM) but only one number will work at any given time and other one would be at 'standby' mode (practically switched off).
I wonder if I can buy a dual sim tray for Z Fold 3 from ebay and install/flash latest firmware from sammobile or some other website. Would it allow me to use dual sim (both active at the same time) on my Z Fold 3?
I wonder if the hardware is already there, I just need to 'jailbreak' it??
Thanks in advance.

Enable eSIM SM-G981W?

I bought a Canadian variant Samsung Galaxy S20 (Snapdragon) yesterday, and knew that the SIM reader slot was faulty and needed to be replaced. I had assumed that I could just use eSIM, but didn't realize that the Canadian variants have it blocked.
Any advice on how to enable it? Can I maybe flash international firmware onto it to have the SIM card manager and enabling of eSIM, and if so, which one and how? Using Odin? Or a modified Odin? Do I need a working SIM reader?
Or maybe I change the CSC? If so, any instructions on how to do it with my variant?
Or do I need to root? If so, any instructions on how to unlock the bootloader (I don't have the OEM unlock option in Developer Options) if I am on One UI version 4.1? Or do I need to downgrade? If so, how do I downgrade?
I really don't want to have to tear this phone apart and resolder on a new SIM reader slot. It's a really great phone and the nicest one I've owned.
I'm not sure where to start.

I read that if the W model is flashed with the U1 firmware, Samsung Pay can no longer have Canadian credit cards added. Can someone verify? OneUI 5.1 is being tested on the S20. We can only hope Samsung enables eSIM for that release.
W model has 13 release now. Does it still not support esim?
I was on the U1 model Android 12 in Dec 2022 (With esim enabled) and updated to the W model Android 13 firmware figuring it should have esim enabled however it did not.
I used odin to switch to the Android 13 U1 firmware but it did not enable esim (I used the home_csc). I flashed the older U1 Android 12 firmware which did enable esim again but I had to factory reset the phone due to a boot loop.
After reseting and doing an OTA update to Android 13 the esim stayed enabled and I restored a backup using smart switch for my apps and settings.

So in summary, to get eSIM in A13 U1, first odin install A12 U1, and then OTA to A13? The A13 U1 was uploaded yesterday ( link ).

It may work if you use csc instead of home_csc which would reset the phone straight out. I used home_csc which kept my Canadian firmware settings and likely csc

Does Samsung Pay work with Canadian credit cards in your A13 U1? That's the only requirement holding me back from converting. Samsung Pay+Google Wallet cover 90% of the places I regularly shop at.

Ok guys so i bought Samsung Galaxy S22+ in Korea. I am from Europe. Reason why i bought phone in Korea was it was like 20% cheaper then in EU + it have Snapdragon instead Exynos.
But as i came back home i was in for a suprise, coz i tried to set up dual sim for the phone, but then i realized i cant do it. SIM card tray where u put physical SIM cards have only 1 SLOT, 2nd slot that was supposed to be on the back side is slighty modified so SIM card cant fit in, also there is no writing SIM2 like its written on fron (SIM1).
Also phone doesnt have support for eSIM, i cant open SIM manager or anything related to SIM cards in settings of my phone.
Dual SIM is important for me coz i use 1 SIM for SMS and phonecalls, its my number, and 2nd SIM is for internet. We are able to buy internet SIM here that have 60GB of data per month and its super cheap, like 7 EURO, so running dual SIM is super cheap version. If i buy internet via my regular phone providers where i can use phonecalls and SMS combined, it cost like 3x more.
SO yeah, i mean i could go for more expensive version and just have 1 SIM but its stupid coz 1 of reasons was i bought that phone is to run it DUAL SIM, i have also my old Huawei P30 pro working just fine, and now i feel dumb for buying another new phone that was meant to replace my old and its not working 100% correctly...
Can i modify my phone to make it work? Install EU version of Android or something? I would rly like to make it work, although even if i make it work i am not sure if my Internet/Phone service provider support eSIM so i swap this main physical sim with eSIM and then use internet one as physical. But ill deal with this later. I just wanna try enable eSIM first if its possible and have dual sim support in my settings.
Any help is very appreciated!
Best regards!
