Hi there guys, I got an issue with my moto E after having flashed carbon ROM. Basically it can't read any more my SIM card content.
What this means is that it can feel if the card is inserted or not (through notification bar and alerts when I remove it), but it simply doesn't work. Which includes total lack of signal (and that's not a problem of the area where I live), no contacts or text message threads, nor even it prompts me for pin on startup. I know it can't be the SIM because it's working on other devices, and my friends' SIMs work on mine.
Also apparently my external SD card seems that got corrupted, as I can't read it even on my laptop any more.
All the rooting process went down quite smoothly, and the problem came only just after I've flashed the Carbon ROM (if it matters, I actually flashed the ROM first, and then Gapps in a second moment).
I tried to flash other ROMs and even the stock ROM (without reinstalling the original recovery and locking the bootloader back though), with the hope to set things back right, but so far no luck.
I've found this thread though, where it mentions that Efs files might be corrupted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/reading-sim-card-flashing-rom-t1342770
but what are they exactly?
Might it be a kernel related issue? Would I be able to solve it flashing a new kernel?
I'm not an expert in this kind of stuff, hence every help is appreciated.
ok i will help you please answer my questions
type *#06# and check if you can see imei
Hi mate, sorry I didn't reply immediately, I've been caught in other commitments. I will be here at the computer the rest of the day.

Download phone testing app from play store and see the network mode and set it to wcdma preferred may be you don't have 3G connectivity and its forcing to use 3G and you're not able to get signal

I've just done that, but, according to the app, the phone is in "WCDMA preferred" already. The thing is that it's not just the connectivity... but all the functions related to the SIM card (PIN, contacts, text messages threads) aren't working... And yet it detects if the SIM card (which works on other devices) is inserted or not.

No SIM can work on that device, but they do on others.
Actually I've just bought another Moto E, as I've bricked that one trying to revert it to the original setting, flashing a Stock ROM.
I've proceeded again with the whole process of flashing the same Carbon ROM (this time after the due nandroid backup), and then again, everything it's working, except for the SIM card. I'm thinking that there's something wrong with it, I'd really like to know if there are any other Moto E users with the same issue with this ROM. Actually, browsing forums around, it appears that this issue happens several time while flashing, but noone seems to know why..
That's a pity though, I'd really enjoy try out different custom ROMs on this device.
Ehy... could it be that the ROM I've flashed was intended for single sim devices only, why I have a double SIM Moto E?
That might explain why, although everything seems to work, the system doesn't enable the SIM functions.
Is there some ROM fan/developer who can actually confirm that, and also indicate me a custom ROM which supports double SIM, if any?
By the way, I managed to get back to the rooted stock rom with my last device, the first one is still there booting. Always do that goddam nandroid backup guys...

The two variants were released in different regions so the custom ROM for single SIM might have different baseband than devices in your region.
Either flash the baseband for your region, if available or else flash a compatible ROM.
OK neo.ank, I'll give it a try.
i have the same problem too.
i was using the cm11, but don't recognize my headphones
them i get back with the stock rom but now i can't do phone calls cuz the phone can't fiund my SIM card

Hi same problem... not *#06# is not giving IMEI number
IMEI 1: null
IMEI 2: null
Yeah it may be a problem with ROM !
So check if your sims work on other ROM
I also got same issue. Do you had luck in solving your problem ?

IMEI null.
What to do next?
plzz help
Hey Team
I am facing a peculiar issue with my Moto e 1st gen (dual sim) off late. Recently all of a sudden my phone stopped reading the Sim, I found out that the IMEI and baseband were showing "unknown" so I did some reading online and tried to flash it to stock ROM which surprisingly worked and both my WiFi and IMEI were restored. However since then the phone fails to receive network signal , it keeps on going to 0 bars. Tried to replace the SIM and flashed it multiple timed with the stock ROM but still no go. Finally decided to unlock the bootlooder install TWRP and done a clean install of CM13 NIGHTLY, surprisingly the network signal reception improved for about 30 minutes after reboot but soon after again went blank. Post this tried to flash CM13 multiple times but no luck it just stays for a while after initial reboot but vanishes thereafter. Also tried to set the aggressive handover from WiFi ... Option under developer option but still no avail.
Really appreciate any help on this issue !!!

I own a Lg G3 sprint ls990.I live in Bangladesh.My device was on android lollipop and it was fine.But due to restart and warming issues i flashed into stock kitkat rom using flashtool.After 91% of flashing a red screen poped up in my device it said "warning; not support qem=0" and in the flashtool app it said failed.But when I pulled out the battery and rebooted my device I saw everything is okay.Then I put on a working sim card and it couldn't detect the sim card.i tried with whole other working sim card but i couldn't detect.I changed my sim slot but that also cannot change the condition.I flashed with other roms but still nothing is happening.When i dial "*#06#" to know my imei it says "connection problem or invalid mmi code".......Now Im badly in need of your help guys.Please,do help guys.
Hi everyone. I have recently flashed my Moto E with firmware 5.1 lollipop after it stopped detecting sim cards and wi-fi stopped working. After flashing it worked well for a while but again the problem started. This time wi-fi is working well but, phone is not detecting the network. It shows "Error while searching for the network". While making the call it shows that phone is in a airplane mode.
I have tried flashing cynogenmod and zeyphr as well..but the problem still exists.
Check your baseband in 'about phone' ..if it is showing unknown, than u need to flash radio files
A time ago I used two SIMs on my phone and they worked well.
Now that I tried again, the SIM 2 don't have service and if I change position of the SIMs then the SIM that was on port 1 stops working and the other works...
SIM 2 is recognized but no signal on it.
Any help..?

Sounds like a problem I'm facing. I had a ANE-LX1 single sim and I successfully flashed the dual sim oeminfo and dual sim rom, now I get dual sim working only when a specific sim is set as the main one (the one set for data traffic). Is it your situation?
I'm going to root the phone again to check if some update messed with the oeminfo, then I will try to force flash another dual sim rom to see if it helps...
Same problem here - currently running latest firmware available 9.1.0.257 (C432E6R1P7). Can`t force the phone to work on both cards at the same time. Works only the one set as data card.
TIA for any ideas
