I had a virtually unused Note 8, on the shelf for a longer time. Just working let's say more than a year ago, nothing to worry about. Until this summer I decided to give it to my mother. Her antique Telfort ( Dutch former provider) SIM did not work when inserted, so it took a while until we requested a new SIM from KPN ( the provider that bought Telfort). The device is completely 'up to date', with the latest updates with security patch from January '21.
Device is now also simply on PHN / PHN / PHN. The SIM is recognized (several SIMs have been tried, also other network-operators). Entering the PIN code is also fine, but there is always that 'mobile network not available' with also the icon on the screen in the statusbar.
What have I already done:
Factory reset, wipe cache, also for all system apps such as SIM toolkit and SIM card management & the Phone app data and cache deleted, forced stopped,
flashed again via ODIN the original latest ROM,
SIM cards from different providers on the different slots .... etc. etc. ..... It is a Dual-SIM, SIM cards are recognized on both slots.
What I am still thinking about, but I do not immediately see the connection, is that I once got call recording working with a Thai SIM in this device. This has not caused any problems in all my other devices of this generation (S7, S8, S9, S10). I have checked Imei number and there shouldn't be a problem with it. Wonder if anyone has any suggestions ?

You sure the phone is unlocked to the network? Tried checking the APN settings? It's all I can think of. I change my csc to get native call recording and have never faced an issue so I doubt it is that.

Hi guys, I have a problem with my S3, it keeps asking me to insert sim card, i tried different sim cards, none worked, tried changing the whole card reader/slot with a brand new one, but it didn't fix the problem.
everything started approximately a month ago, i tried rooting the phone after applying the 4.3 update but i missed up and almost completely killed the phone, after allot of effort I managed to bring it back to life and re-installed the firmware update, but the phone started giving me the "Not registered on network" error, and the IMEI changed to that 0049 thing, then it started telling me to insert sim card (at first it was just saying "emergency calls only").
the thing is, before all this happens I had no idea how important it is to backup before applying anything with odin, so I have no EFS backup, the IMEI is apparently fixable but this "insert sim card" thing is what i have no idea how to fix, since the last hope was changing the slot and it didn't help either.
I tried going through other posts but none of them had an answer.
so, any ideas what could be the cause? and how to fix it?
PS: the signals bar is still moving, i mean when i'm somewhere with no signal at all it becomes that circle that indicated no signal, and i'm where signal is strong it goes all the way up to 4 bars, time as well is still accurate, done a downgrade to Android 4.2.2 to see if it could change anything, still same problem, now I upgraded again to 4.3 and am hoping for an answer to what could've been the cause of the problem and how to fix it
oh and one more thing, i have a question, does patching the wrong Kernel and Modem have any relationship to this problem? when it was telling me "Not registered on network", one of the things i tried was patching a Modem, that's actually what was shared the most through forums, and I remember reading that it does no harm but it can help fixing the problem even if it's not on the same exact firmware. the firmware I have is XXUGNA7 and the ones i patched were for XXUGMK6, both are android 4.3 (HOPEFULLY )

Hi guys, today (2021/01/27 GTM +7) I received the android 11 update with the build number of 51.1.A.0.485 and update size is about 994 Mbytes. Changes will be explored soon but most features are the same (or similar) as other Xperia running android 11.
Screenshots :

new feature(s)
1. Battery Care can always charging limit to 80% or 90% (This feature also comes to other Xperia Android 11).
I also updated to Android 11, and seems ok, no regression I think. But I don't like the new notification that are divided with normal notifications, silenced and conversation.
edit1: well, i didn't found de SIM card option, to manage both sim card, but you can find directly the options SIM1 and SIM2. The feature of activation automaticaly call forwarding if not available or not reply is no more there, you have to set manually, that's bad :/ I really liked that option

About the SIM card option, I don't worry about that, I'm just single SIM user.
To me the new power menu is useless becaused GPay isn't available in Thailand yet thus the power menu just sit on top of the blank screen . But there're other e-wallet apps (and I use several of them). IF google allow 3rd party to make use of the Power menu GPay feature that not available in user's country (As a form of API). This can be a lot useful when I wamt a quick payment at 7-11.
Rollout has also started in the Netherlands, I guess. Received an update to 59.1.A.0.485 on my XQ-AU52 yesterday.

Does this allow us to mount the system partition as R/W? Could I delete the preloaded bloat/spyware, especially from the OEM directory?

Any Sony users interested in trying my new script to make their Android 10+ system read-write-able for debloating and other deeper customizations? I'm curious if it also works on next generation Sony devices. Does your new Sony device have a super partition? Does it have fastboot? Then you're in luck.
With my new script you get full read write access to all partitions on your device. Then you can easily delete these annoying bloatware apps from your internal hard drive and make many more deeper customizations. Problem solved.
Always make a backup before you permanently delete a system app! You never know which one is going to cause a bootloop!
today received Version 59.1.A.2.96
I have purchased several A7 lite devices that all boot to to the screen shown here. I have tried to up install the proper firmware with no change to the opening screen. When I click "Start" it asks for a SIM card to connect to the network. Any suggestions to getting these tablets back to the correct O/S?
Thanks, Tom

Hello friend, were you able to find a solution to this problem, I have the same problem as you, I need help! please.
I'm sorry but what is wrong with this screen? If it's a carrier locked T-Mobile a7 Lite it may need a sim to work.

I will tell you what happened to me, I bought a device on ebay, the model is sm-t227u from t mobile, the same as the image above, when I bought it it said that it was sold and it was unlocked, I was not at home when the package arrived, It took a long time to arrive and the return time passed, my surprise when I arrived and installed the chip is that it is blocked and does not let me pass. It only allows me to configure it by QR code for an organization.
My question is if I can pass the startup configuration without having to install the sim card, this is because I'm not in the USA right now.

The problem with configuring by QR code is that it has many limitations and it doesn't let me do almost anything, or delete anything, the apps that I install are deleted in a certain period of time.
Please if you can help me I would really appreciate it!
I purchased a T-Mobile Connect $!0.00 prepaid sim card inserted it and then went on line to T-Mobile to unlock the tablet. You have to be a customer for them to unlock it. They unlocked 4 tablets and I switched to Mint Mobile. The total price per device to T-Mobile was $10.00 plus tax for the plan (one month) and $10.00 charge for the sim. That was reasonable considering I got the 4 tablets for $52.00 each brand new.
I've got a S7+ 5G with the TMB CSC and I'm having a trouble with the APN settings. Using an activated T-Mobile sim in it shows an APN with most of the correct settings but the "Mobile virtual network operator type" is set to "GID" and has a value set below it. This setting is not enabled when using the SIM in either of my other phones. The tablet connects to 5G but has no connectivity I get a notification to "Sign into network" which opens a webpage that never loads anything.
Trying an At&t SIM in it shows no network connection(cancel symbol where signal bars are) and gives me a few APN options all which have the MNC set to 280, which I've learned from here is for T-Mobile. Trying to change that setting to the proper one "410" either deletes or hides the APN where it is not available.
I have a Visible Wireless(Verizon) SIM which works perfectly with no configuration.
Talking to Tmobile support they confirmed that the device was originally sold by Tmobile and is not network locked. After verifying the software is up to date we exhausted all troubleshooting options and contacted Samsung support who's only options were to have it repaired out of warranty for a fee or trade it in for less than what I paid for it.
The software on this device is very peculiar, there are no carrier apps or carrier splash screen on startup. The tablet came with an older software version (security patch dated sept 2021) and would not download an update on its own. I then factory reset the device, used samfirm to download the latest version and odin flashed all but the USERDATA option. There are still no carrier apps installed and if I didn't know any better I'd say it was a generic CSC.
I'd really like to use this device on At&t, 5G or not, and I suspect there are others who would like a carrier-less experience too. Can anyone tell me whats going on with this thing? I'm happy to provide more info if needed.

EDIT: After much frustration and a few hours on the phone I've determined that this tablet is defective. Samsung wants me to send it in for repair, but I'm just gonna return it
So I bought an Australian model of the S23 Ultra, model S918B with a single SIM tray, eSIM and two distinct IMEIs. Dual sim dual standby works normally with a SIM and eSIM. In 'About phone', the IMEIs are listed as 'IMEI' and 'IMEI (eSIM)', not 'IMEI (slot 1)' and 'IMEI (slot 2)'.
But I prefer a dual physical SIM setup, so I got a dual SIM tray from aliexpress, which fits both SIMs perfectly. But the device will not recognize the second SIM no matter what CSC I changed to, including INS, XXV, THL, where dual physical SIMs S918B/DS are sold. The model number does change to S918B/DS, but IMEIs are still 'IMEI' and 'IMEI (eSIM)'.
There are some strange things that I observed. When I change CSC to a market with dual physical SIMs and factory reset, the second SIM will work normally during the setup wizard, until I finish setting up, when it immediately got disabled. Also, if I change CSC to WWD (demo CSC), second SIM slot will work, BUT there is no SIM manager, eSIM nor OTA updates, which is undesirable.
Currently I am on the April update, with system shell exploit working. April is the last version that the system shell exploit can work. https://github.com/wr3cckl3ss1/system_shell_2
Do you guys have an idea on how to do enable the second physcial SIM using the exploit, without tripping Knox and breaking other features? Considering that the device already has 2 IMEIs, IMEI duplication is not required like some older devices (such as S9, S10 Exynos with single SIM). Thanks very much for your help.

Tried that, still the same.
I guess it might be related to the phone's original CSC, which is XSA (Australia - the last CSC in software provider version). It is not changed when changing CSC, only the first 3 values.
