Help with Samsung Win i8558 IMEI clash!!! - Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro

Hello Win'ners
Please I have this Samsung Win i8558 I got from a friend and would like to use my both lines in it (Not actually as a smartphone as I already have a Note 4) Runs on 4.2.2 but here is the problem I have with the device!
If I insert one SIM card in either slots... It reads and gets signal for the Network SIM. (either Sim1 or Sim2)
But if I slot both SIMs in both slots... It would give a "No sim card" error even when it would shows the SIM Network names under "SIM Card Manager" in settings but would not detect signal.
So I put in one SIM in sim1 and checked the IMEI via *#06# and it came up. I put in one SIM in Sim2 and checked the IMEI and found out both slots uses the same IMEI number.
If I mount both SIMs at same time and check the IMEI , it would give "Null/Null"
Any help on how to solve this problem as I have 2 network SIMs I want to use on it.
Thanks.

SOLVED
I solved the issue by flashing a later build via Odin!
Now I need root!

Unable to Register On network

Hi this is starting to really bug me now Im unable to register on a network I get signal bars but only get emergency calls only tried dfferent sim cards and reverted back to latest official stock to no avail any suggestions please
As per multiple identical posts .
First is your IMEI correct
Are your mobile network settings correct
sim card correct and tested
correct modem and csc.
jje
Check your IMEI number. Sometimes, when we flash custom ROM, the phone looses its IMEI number. If it's true, you must use an EFS backup to restore it.
Second solution : your mobile phone was blacklisted (if it was considered as stollen).
Network
Hi thanks for the reply I have been searching I've checked my imei in status and it matches details under battery compartment i'm still paying for the phone (pay weekly) so no reason it would be blacklisted ok just tried another different sim card on Vodafone official s3 stock rom and it registered hmmm im on talktalk which uses voda I know this sim works but i'll get them to send me a new one thanks for your time guys

Inserted sim card but no service or registered network

I bought a used galaxy s3 that seems fine except that i can't get it to work with my sim card. I always get the searching & not registered on network when trying to dial. The sim card works fine on other phones. the phone is running android 4.3... Any idea of what could be the problem and how to fixx it?
Are you sure that you phone isn't sim locked?
If it were sim locked you would get a request for the unlocking code at boot. Most likely the phone has been tampered or broken, either wrong modem or efs folder corrupt.
Search and read for the available fixes.

IMEI SV unknown - no phone calls

I received my new Redmi 3S yesterday. It can send and receive SMS, internet is working, it identifies the SIM, the carrier and the number. But it doesn't make or receive phone calls and calling settings/features cannot be accessed.
I tried a factory reset, removed the SIM and reinstalled it a couple of times. Phone is not rooted, bootloader is locked, ROM is MIUI Global 7.3 STABLE | 7.3.10.0.0 (MALCNDE). Any help appreciated
Edit: I should mention that I tried more than one sim cards that function properly on a another device I have
edit 2 : Here is the problem http://i64.tinypic.com/xeq68y.jpg
I discovered that I am able to make calls from SIM 2 slot (nano SIM / SD card) but not from SIM 1 (micro SIM). Any idea why? Anyone? The big deal is that by using SIM 2 slot I am not able to use my SD card

why dont you try to flash a stock rom with full wipes and see if that solves your problem of making/receiving calls.
Thanks. I will give it a go. I really don't want to send my newly arrived phone back to China
Installed stable Chinese 7.5 ROM and the problem still persists. After all the effort I just noticed that under settings>>>status>>>SIM status there are two differences between SIM 1 and SIM 2. 1 has cellular network type LTE, 2 has GSM (both SIM cards are LTE). 1 has IMEI SV unknown, 2 has 01. I suspect the lack of IMEI SV number is the reason why SIM 1 cannot make/receive calls. Both SIM slots have an IMEI number. So now I need to find a way to root ( I am having some trouble there too) and inspect further.
Help!!!!!!
I really need some help now.
1. I was trying to unlock bootloader but always got stuck at 50%. Nevertheless, in cmd*"fastboot oem device-info"*the bootloader appears to be unlocked but security app/permissions/root says it is locked. Now even flash unlock utility says "no need to unlock device" when stops at 50%. Which one is telling the truth?
2. Tried to flash twrp, followed the procedure to the letter, the utility told me that the flash was successful. But when I reboot to recovery all I see is the white outline of a device, no TWRP
3. SIM 1 can send/receive texts and connects to internet but no incoming/outgoing calls. SIM 2 working fine
4. Mi PC Suite does not recognise the device
I've bought Chinese phones before but this one is just too much work..
Did you use mi unlocker tool?
Did you allow oem unlock on developer options?
You have to login with your mi id both on your phone and that tool.
Once unlocked, follow these instructions for TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/development/redmi-3s-land-twrp-recovery-unlocked-t3433199
Sent from my ehmm... well... phone with xdw... cda... err... well I sent it, okay?
Yes. I have use mi unlock tool and followed the proper procedure. I will try the above method on Sunday, when I have free time, and fingers crossed..
Regarding your sim problems...
In settings > about phone: press 'internal memory' a number of times to get the hidden menu. 'Phone information1' refers to sim 1 and you can change network types etc.

I tried all the settings one by one but nothing has changed. Finally I managed to unlock bootloader and root but the no calls problem from SIM 1 persists. I found this http://en.miui.com/thread-245598-1-1.html for IMEI repair, I would like to repair the IMEI SV in similar way. If someone can help with this or has any idea why SIM 1 sendss/receives texts and connects to internet but doesn't make/receive any calls I will be much obliged.
So basically this is the problem

That's interesting. So maybe the problem is not with the IMEI SV number. It may as well be a hardware problem. I don't think you have something to worry about. Thanks for letting me know though

whether it's work for both sim? why i cant.. :crying::crying:
Sorry haven't solved the problem. I got a partial refund and only using one SIM slot

Why doesn't my phone detect sim card after flashing stock rom? imei issue?

I have a BLU vivo XL phone to which I have flashed a new rom using SP Flash Tool.
My sim card wasn't being recognized by the phone, and I noticed there was no longer an IMEI number assigned to my phone. There are two sim card slots, and I manually assigned the IMEI number for each slot using the apk Mobileuncle Tools.
The sim still isn't working, but when I check Settings>About Phone>Status>IMEI information, the IMEI for slot 1 and slot 2 both have numbers assigned now, however, there is another value for the IMEI SV(Slot 1) and IMEI SV(Slot2), i don't know what this is, but they both still say "unknown".
I am guessing that maybe I need to have both IMEI and IMEI SV numbers in order to use the sim card slots, but I don't know how to get it or what to try next.
Thank you for your help.
