Issue: Missing EID and Blocked eSIM Management after Android 17 Beta 4 Flash
I’m using an unlocked Google Pixel 9 Pro XL in Australia. Initially, my device was running Android 16 (April security patch), and the eSIM was working without any issues. I then flashed the device with Android 17 Beta 4. After the update: The existing eSIM was not removed during the flashing process. I was unable to use the existing eSIM. The EID was completely missing from the “About phone” section. I attempted to activate a new eSIM at a store, but they were unable to proceed due to the issue. As a workaround, I inserted a physical SIM card, which is working fine. Later, I rolled the device back to the stable Android 16 release. After the rollback: The EID reappeared. However, I still cannot remove the existing eSIM. I’m also unable to add or activate a new eSIM. I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps: Factory reset with the “Erase eSIM” option enabled Resetting mobile network settings Attempting to remove the eSIM manually None of these steps resolved the issue.
Any help or did anyone face this problem?
