I tried CM 12 also. But its not working well. Unable to install any apps.
hi, I installed the dual sim variant, but still sim card is not working. The menu of Dual SIM also disappeared.
Can you please post the working zip link?
SIM card won’t work because the link is for Single SIM. Search and find the veriant for Dual SIM.
If anyonr finds issue with TWRP MENU blinking, just connect to laptop, open MINIMAL ADB n FASTBOOT command prompt. Wait for few minutes and type command” ADB REBOOT RECOVERY”. It will take you to TWRP Menu.
It is because you have flashed a rom which was not meant for the dual sim variant. The above marshmallow rom is only for HTC desire 816 single sim.
If the problem persists, then you may install the cyanogen mod rom. It is lighter and automatically updates the firmware which would solve your problem
and how it is fixed..?
after installation!!!! both sim has not working,why??
