mine started life as a single sim c782 variant,
i changed mine to c432 variant by flashing a c432 dual sim oeminfo and flashing the relvant software and now have a fully working dual sim phone, accepting updates and works great.

Could you please share with more detail instruction about it ?

You need to flash a new oeminfo for the right region, I went for c432 dual SIM which is pretty much all you need to do to enable the second sim. Then you need to flash the correct firmware for that region. I then updated the firmware via firmware finder, but hrupdater it probably an easier way of doing it. And that was pretty much it. I used hwota8 to flash the correct oeminfo and the rest as described above.

Hi pls upload the oeminfo for the c432 dual sim .
Thanks in advance.

If you download hwota8 in the roms section, it's in that software. Just unzip it and you will see the oeminfo file. That's the one I used.

Followed the steps and now my LX3 8.0.0.106(C792) single sim is now a LX1 8.0.0.144(C432) dual sim... Also receiving OTA updates!

You have to flash oeminfo from dual sim and then flash full firmware.
Flash only firmware from dual sim your device stay a single sim.
I checked mine in the other way around, I flashed single sim firmware in my dual sim device and it stays a dual sim.

Can anyone post a step-by-step tutorial?

Be aware that the IMEI from second SIM will be null.
You can find the C432 dual SIM oeminfo in the HwOTA8 for Huawei P20 Lite https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/development/hwota8-huawei-p20-lite-t3787787

In this case that imei of the second sim is null "00000", the second sim works both for calling and for internet ? and the sims work simultaneously?

One SIM - 2G/3G/4G
The other SIM - only 2G
No, they don't work as Dual SIM active, they work as Dual Stand-by, when one SIM is making or receiving a call the other SIM would be ignored.

Hello,
i have p20lite single sim C432 Italian.
Can i transform in dual sim?

Hi,
I have a P20 lite from Orange orignaly ANE-LX1 8.0.0.149(C109).
Only one SIM is available.
So, in the objective to get dual SIM phone, I did :
1. Unlock BL
2. Flash dual sim oeminfo C432 using HWOTA
3. Flash ANE-LX1C432B172 (8.0.0.172) : update, update-data-full and ANE-L21_hw_eu
Result is :
- 2 IMEI, second is null
- Both SIM are detected and connected to the network
- Only first SIM can make/received call/SMS
- It works better when I switch data 3g/4g on second SIM - at least for few minutes I can call from both SIM
If I compare with my old P9 lite, fully fonctional dual sim, I see only one IMEI.
Well, any idea for next step? @kilroystyx @DANIELWHITT maybe?
Thanks.

Can I just double check... You own an L09 with a Single Sim Tray... and you want to buy a seperate Dual sim tray.. and flash a dual Sim firmware.... Is that right?
I dont think you can... Im sure the L09 has a Single Sim circuit on the Motherboard... and the L29 has a Dual Sim circuit on the Motherboard
You say you are New to Huawei phones, then I advise to Be very careful about Flashing firmware on Huawei devices, especially from different regions/areas... Huawei phones are NOT easy like a Samsung... the L29 is a different phone to the L09 .. and can break and fail very easily
You might have to sell/trade your L09 and Purchase an L29.
Just read this guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-mate-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814
and btw its possible to convert 1 sim to dual sim (BLA-L29),you have to ways.One is paid service which funkyhuawei and second one is the rebrand method on upper link.
and nope you must use PC,firmwarefinder cannot flash an update from different region.

So does that mean Every Mate 10 Pro, regardless of region, has a dual sim circuit on the motherboard.. and all thats different is the L09 SS Rom and the Single SIM tray thats included in the box?

Hello,
1st message on Xda ...
It is me who is doing this tutorial for frandroid as well as phonandroid.
I confirm that it works 100%.
On the other hand, the 137 is not compatible with the L09 ...
Take the 138 by funkyhuawei.

Thank you very much Mr.jeremy for your answer:good: do I have to pay for this update can I update this version BLA-L29 8.0.0.140(C432) because my version is BLA-L09 8.0.0.128 (C432) thanks
Hello,
Yes if you go through funkyhuawei it pays.
Otherwise wait what happens on firmware.
What is your goal in the end ??
Do you want the double sim?
If so, you have to rebrand the L29.
And only after you take the rom you want.

Stuck on 8.0.0.046(0K0S) ANE-LX3

Hello,
I have a problem with my Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX3. I can't update my phone because I think I have install the wrong ROM.
My operator is Fido Canada.
Please help me.
That's a problem when installing wrong region / model firmware.
The region should match the one on your oeminfo. The Model on the update_ANE-LX3 file should match as well, L23 for dual sim or L03 for single sim

Huawei mate 10 pro dual sim management

Hi everyone,,
Is there a way to show hidden dual sim setting ??
I have single sim bla-l09c432 but i rebranded mine to get dual sim working , and its working great
But there's no setting for dual sim management to switch network from sim 1 to sim 2 ,,
the only thing i can do is to make calls from sim 1 or sim 2
Can you help me to get that hidden setting .
Mine is still on bla-l09c432 ,, i didn't switch L29 to keep my bootloader code.
I have rebranded my m10p as well but i can see everything in the settings. Do you have this screen? Because you can do everything from here.
I didnt keep the model my one shows L29 after rebrand and its the only way to keep 2 sim settings.

You need to use fh to rebrand properly to L29 there is no harm at all i kept getting updates without a problem. I have started with version .132 or something and i am at .157 now and waiting pie update.

Here is my info
Thread is old and dead, but just in case someone stumbles across this this, i'd like to leave the following info:
huawei dualsimsettings are part of huawei my files app or somehow entangled with it. I tampered with it, that is why i had problems with dualsimsettings.

Ok thank you ,,, i will keep searching
Just a quick heads up, rebranding and changing from L09 to L29 will in all likelihood zero out your IMEI numbers (and make your unlock code useless).

I know people on here don't like them but I re-branded an L09 to an L29 using FunkyHuawei. It costs but it worked and I have a perfectly valid IMEI still intact (and I didn't have to unlock). However, it may be that the exploit used for this process no-longer exists... The FH team are very helpful

Did you flash the dual sim firmware onto you single sim phone in the end? If so, what works and what doesn't work? I'm in a similar situation, but the reason why I'm asking is because I want to get VoLTE working in a specific country. The variant of the phone that is sold in that country is the FD variant whereas mine is the F variant - which was purchased in a different country.
