Userdebug variants use the same modem as far as I know. The experience related to dual SIM would likely be the same. I have only seen this work for Active-Standby configurations. I'm not sure if Active-Active is supported from the hardware level but someone else may know more I do here.

This sounds like an issue with the modem image applied. What image did you have before moving to XP8A_ATT_user_8A.0.5-11-8.1.0-10.54.00?

One thing about the user images is they are backups where the debug images have been provided by Sonim. It may be worth downloading the debug variant and only flashing the modem (HLOS) for both sides A and B. If your previous firmware was on 8.x then we can also restore the 2 images from your backup without modifying the system or anything else.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goofee691:
So I asked Sonim about the dual sim capability of the XP8 and about getting firmware images:

So if I am reading this correctly the hardware is capable of using the dual sims properly but it is ATT/the carrier disabling this.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberdude420:
so ive figured a few things.. goten fastboot and what not worked out.. it would seem i am booting on b according to getvar but ive flashed both with modified boot img and still no magisk.

i re did my system back up and also it is showing errors on finding system_a img or system_b img. i even added just a regular old system.img to the xml for the hell of it and im getting nothing,. the sent zip port trace.xml has the errors in it. i feel so damn close and yet so far lol.

i know im on telus 8.01 after update but from what i seen in thread there was success with another on this firmware lol... any suggestions from anybody would rock lol.

i was having trouble with WiFi_ Calling with AT&T, so i followed the steps, from the thread.

Ended up flashing the User Debug by way of a Qualcomm QPST. It stuck but Lost baseband and no IMEI.

the Magisk instructions worked for me. You have to be attentive in any of the code listed .

Anything written between < > has to be replaced with your info , leaving out the symbols.

so right now i have root, wifi, but no phone service, gonna try to flash various modem.img files to try and fix.

Yea Roger that. i kept the simm in the 1st slot so never attempted anything but a.

my mistake was i deleted the first carrier firmware back up which was probably what i need to fastboot flash modem modem.img the baseband software to get it to work.

having no luck with the files included in the Android file images

You have Magisk Installed? You unlocked bootloader? When I set up programming I would remove the battery hold down vol+ and vol- for a few seconds then, power, vol-,and vol+ to enter EDL mode Check device manger for Port COM 5 in EDL ( although after reboot normal ADB was COM3. followed the MAGISK instructions and it worked. Although the second time i left bootloader locked, so i found a second start screen complaint " OS is not correct" Here's what i get for my out my flashboot, it looks just like yours

Don't know if this will help but i was able to get a qcn download after this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahaqq:
looking back to your previous post . You have to check unlock bootloader in the developer section of settings.

Then Unlock the bootloader through fastboot command. that should set up for your root. after you follow the magisk Protocol in the thread. Although i was able to install the magisk_ patched .img via ADB with a locked boot loader i think it was made while the bootloader was unlocked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberdude420:
everytime i try this it comes back failed :( i have oem unlock checked and its no go .,. i just went from user to test mode using that code as well.. tried again and still no go :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahaqq:
You issue either < fastboot flashing unlock > or < fastboot oem unlock > while in fastboot mode. Run the accept screen and < fastboot reboot > . Have a backup because it will wipe data. Not sure if the boot image is for each phone but I can try to send you my magisk boot_patched.img if you want to see if that helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahaqq:
i re-flashed the att user image so my phone was reset.

Unfortunately still no baseband but i ran the magisk patch and achieved root, after a try or two.

If you are copy and pasting your commands double check that you remove the < and > 's and double check that the what is writen between them reflects what is in your working folder. ie <COM#> becomes COM5 , <xmlfile.xml> becomes xmlfile.xml .

About to give up on this device any way, although its not a half bad mini tablet in its current state.

Any body who might care to point out what to flash for reinstalling the baseband would appreciate your thoughts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberdude420:
you might be able to extract what's needed from an OEM firmware if we know what files are required. im curious also if anybody has done a dump of the OEM fastboot commands for this. I would but my ADB isn't su. I know my entries are ok because its returning successfully save for errors in finding certain things in backup like my system.img a and b files but my XML and port are proper. my problems in total right now are..

full system baackup thru EDL won't find system.img a Or b.

fastboot won't unlock bootloader despite developer OEM unlock enabled.

magisk_patched.img. flash thru EDL says success. but boots to no root with no aleart. and im booting on b partition according to getvar. is there a way of inducing a boot from a? Or a command to manual boot a or b?

Is the bootloader unlock command fastboot flashing unlock? or is there another command?..

too be honest if you get yours back to functioning I may be tempted to follow your suit and try to flash a debug with required baseband and boot if I keep having issues lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahaqq:
Try < fastboot oem unlock >

I forget which I used.

At one point I got baseband back up via a series of fastboot flash and fastboot erase. But although I had a cell tower triangle and mobile network in settings never got the ATT simm card to connect. Forget what happened but it dissapeared . And I can't find the combo to duplicate. But I believe you are right about there should firmware files that should make it operational again

By the way < adb reboot edl > will put you in download mode, a little quicker than the 3 button EDL launch method
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberdude420:
fastboot oem unlock fail :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahaqq:
In your developer settings you still have the unlock boot loader button that you can toggle on and off? If the bootloader is already unlocked it will gray out.

I will check for a listing of all the fast boot commands when the holidays finish up. It seems weird that you can't unlock.

See if [/code]fastboot oem device-info[/code] confirms anything, because one of the two unlock commands brings up a screen on the phone to confirm the unlock toggle yes with vol + and then hit power button. At least on at&t , maybe Telus is different.

command:

< fastboot flashing unlock >. should do it.

When I was trying different things I got the magisk_patched.img onto the boot _a image with a < fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img >. It gave me a warning screen about alternative OS.

Will try to repeat that later this week and let you know how it came about.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahaqq:
That might not have been the right command for moving the image in flash boot.. Will get back to you when I have the device.

So you have magisk manager running on the phone with the adb install magisk.apk, and after the edl success the magisk manager shows magisk uninstalled?

You checked through the < *#*#4636#*#* >

menu? There were some device toggles

in one of the phone info menus.

When I was talking to my carrier support trying to get the wifi calling to work. The tech support told me it was not going to happen because I did not buy the phone direct from att even though it was a branded phone from swappa. So even though the latest ota update provided the toggles on the device the carrier never got it to function on their side .

Pissed caused now I own a $200 hockey puck in my lackluster rural cell network.

Mark my words, if I can figure out what I did to get that fastboot re root installed I will post it .
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberdude420:
the other one earlier i put into test mode from user mode on the usb test. that code does not seem to have any related togles :( but yea.. adb installed magisk on phone boot immage patched. edl flashed to a and to b partitions to try but still none have taken
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahaqq:
Bummer. Starting to look like Telus has a firmware lock on the boot loader I am just guessing though. I flashed the user debug then the magisk patch . Wish l hadn't deleted my initial complete firmware backup. Think I flushed my baseband with that move.

Again will post back on this in the next day or two .

Good holidaze , bruv.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokeyou:
I think they are all locked on the user build side. I have had success flashing abl and xbl from debug that seems to allow unlocking after enabled in developer options on a standard user build. I have not tested this on Telus though.

It sounds like baseband issues are common.. Strange though because I have not run into this personally. Most combinations of system + modem seem to work on my end.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberdude420:
i sure do hope you have some luck dude. i love this phone .. the idea of it being compromised even in your pocket instead of mine sucks lol i am going to do what i can to figure this out but in the event you figure what files are required.. i do have an edl backup for myphone. so plz do share what you find out.... it has no system imgs but if flashing debug is something i can get back to a sim functioning state i may try to take that route eventually if i dont have any luck further getting this rooted lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahaqq:
So after playing around this is what i came up with.

i had reverted to a ATT user flash which did not allow me to manipulate a lot of the *.img files in the extracted images .

so i restored the user debug ( Its a china version far as i can tell) and was able to run Fastboot erase ***, then fastboot flash *** ***.img. Because i am trying to ungrey my Mobile Network settings. put through a bunch of command chains for modem, modem_a, fsg, persist. Then erase modemst1, and modemst2, flashed NON-HLOS.bin to modem, because one time ihad established a radio in my mess, and i was hoping to duplicate it again. This time i was using image extracted files. unfortunately still SOL.

But while i was doing this chain of commands in fastboot i also slipped in < fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img > this is while my bootloader is locked.

When it reboots it catches the DMverity Pasword window, so power off / reboot, then adb reboot recovery, wipe data and reboot system. Set up as new, then run adb install magisk.apk. Opened the Magisk manager it needed to finish setup went into auto restart and i had a rooted XP8 with locked bootloader .

For what it seems the carrier images have a firmware lock on the phone and i think that what stops the bootloader unlock.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokeyou:
That's a tough one yeah. QPst supports QCN backup and restore operations. The latest version of the Sonim Flash tool includes this as well however the menu items were disabled within the build. That only helps if you have a previous backup to restore though :(.

I haven't done much testing on the Snapdragon platform but in the past I did a bit of testing on various LTE modems. It seemed like I could give em any IMEI I wanted and they would work just fine. As far as I know that is illegal outside of testing but the point remains that if they can set the IMEI in the factory then we should be able to reset it back to factory defaults just as easily.. Somehow.

I'll see if I can finalize a modified copy of the Sonim flash tool with the appropriate menu items enabled. May or may not help but will be worth a shot at least - should have this posted on Android FIle Host shortly.

Some guides exist online that may help (I sent you 1 in PM).. May need to convert to HEX before searching and the restore action may block it still.
