Hello,
I'd like to know if my smartphone Huawei Mate 10 Pro Single SIM can be modded in Dual SIM without to use FunkyHuawei Method like be Samsung smartphone.
Thanks
G.
To my knowledge, The single sim version hasn't been successfully flashed to any other version.

Probably there are still few people who are dedicated to the modding of Huawei as happens instead for Samsung
As Huawei stopped providing the codes to unlock the bootloader in July, I think the number of developers is going to be pretty slim

At this point I think that perhaps developers should also work to find an alternative way to unlock the bootloader.
No can do

Unlocking the bootloader REQUIRES an unlock code, that is just the way it is, no way around it unless someone wants to spend the large amount of money for the hardware and spend the time necessary to write their own bootloader code and burn it to a totally blank un programmed motherboard

Sorry for the off-topic question, but why is not Samsung so complicated to do this?

Actually some variants of Samsung phones have locked bootloaders, Verizon in particular.

At my previous post, I was not just referring to the conversion from Single SIM to Dual SIM, but in general I wanted to say why is it easier to do "modding" on a Samsung than on a Huawei (as for example unlocking bootloader)?

In general Samsung is easier because with a few exceptions they don't have locked bootloaders to begin with, they just have an efuse that is tripped when you flash anything unofficial or mod the device so they can void any warranty. As far as converting a single sim to a dual SIM, it can't be done as the hardware is different, if you want a dual SIM mate 10 you have to buy a dual SIM model.

In the case of Huawei Mate 10 Pro Single SIM and Dual SIM there are no hardware differences. This is demonstrated by the fact that some users of the Single SIM Huawei Mate 10 Pro have been converted into a Dual SIM using the FunkyHuawei application successfully (firmware updating from BLA-L09 to BLA-L29 without unlocking bootloader) and replacing the Single SIM tray with a Dual SIM tray. The only problem encountered by some users is that after modding to Dual SIM the Major Releases have no longer been downloaded. Unfortunately, the use of FunkyHuawei is subject to charges.
Sorry for my bad english..

That's total bull crap, they have been rebranded to dual SIM models, but they do not magically gain dual SIM functionality because of it, just that they can use the dual SIM firmware. The hardware of the L29 and L09 are different, changing out the sim tray doesn't do anything (this has been verified by Huawei technicians). So I hate to burst your bubble but if you wanted a dual SIM you should have bought one. Take an L29 and an L09 apart, doesn't take a rocket scientist to see they have different motherboards.

Many Samsung devices have locked bootloaders that are impossible to unlock, often flashing mods on Samsung devices triggers Knox preventing use of Google pay, etc.

I don't doubt that exist two models of Huawei Mate 10 Pro smartphones, a Single SIM Model and a Dual SIM model. But in Italy the Dual SIM model is destined to a no brand market, the Single SIM is instead destined to a market in conjunction with brands such as Telecom Vodafone etc. In reality it would be the same product, only that Telecom, Vodafone etc. have no interest in selling a Dual SIM product because market reasons. There are users who have bought the phone branded, for example with Telecom obviously Single SIM, and have successfully converted it into the Dual SIM model through the FunkyHuawei method demonstrating that the hardware is the same.
Erm.... Yes you can...
I have rebranded a single sim BLA-L09 to dual sim bla-l29 and bought a dual sim tray and have been using it with no issues for about a year? I used FH...
... I say no issues, I dont get ota updates anymore. HW suspect it's because the IMEI doesn't match the model of phone now... But that's fine, I just buy a credit every now and again...

If that's true what did you use for the second imei number? Just make one up in your head? Those are not random numbers that are just invented by the manufactures.

I didn't... I just followed the rebrand instructions by Funky Huawei. I didn't need to specify or change the IMEI.
Have you looked at Funky Huawei? I thought it was well known that you could rebrand the mate 10 Pro?
You don't get a second IMEI, it shares the first. This can cause some issues with using two sims from the same network apparently although I use two different networks and don't have any issues.
I thought XDA Forum was ahead of the Italian forum. It seems very strange that in this forum they do not know FunkyHuawei and their method.

Contract honor first, that's the weirdest thing, since this is should only unlocked, how it got locked?!
Try contacting them before proceeding with anything
You would have to contact AT&T if they provided you with your device. As they will have the SIM unlock code and not Honor. If your device is branded by AT&T.

Hi Team. Picked up unlocked m10 pro from UK store. Put my 3 sim network in there and it's totally rebranded as a 3 phone (boot animation etc.) And not a factory reset clears it down. Other sims work but I want rid of it really. Any ideas? Thanks
You can't now. Only way is to rebrand it European build C432
Boy I'm glad T-Mobile doesn't do that stuff here in the US!
It's because 3 mobile UK have an exclusive to sell it on contact I believe
Thanks for the input peeps. Rang Huawei and they said ring 3 shouldn't be happening and also swap device 'again' back at carphone whorehouse. I'm no stranger to flashing stuff but there isn't a great deal out there on rebranding to C432 as stated previous. Any decent guides? Cheers

This is the thread you need to rebrand, the other option would be to go back to wherever you bought tickets, swap it for a new handset, get Vodafone SIM, and make sure that's the first sim you install, it has no branding as such, just two apps which can be removed.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814/page68
I bought one as well and it's also branded 3 but that's about it, apart from the Huawei apps it's fine
Are your wanting to rebrand because of the splash screen
Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk
the rebranding for 3 is for a reason i believe but not sure, i've still not received an update from huawei regarding the re-branding of the phones when you place a 3 sim in it.
i think the reason is to allow the phone to use the 3 wifi calling without the actual app, i pixel xl won't work on 3 unless i use the app, but the mate 10 pro works. I've also heard that the wifi calling features of the phone do not work on O2 without an app, so it could be for this reason the phone updates and installs their bootloader.
Can't find anywhere in UK that can pre-order, or order, dual sim version.
Ideally somewhere doing the promotion and/or with option of PayPal.
Anyone found anywhere?

Three uk is only reseller that I know of that does dual SIM.
You cannot buy from them sim free but you can get on contract and then cancel and works out slightly cheaper than a single free device. See my post in the UK thread.

Whatever you do, don't put a 3 SIM in first as it will be permanently branded to 3 and worst of all you won't get many updates. Worth getting a PAYG sim if need be just to avoid this crap.

Intriguing, does beg the question of why are Huawei selling two different model numbers? Who knows!
One confusion re this dual SIM if a phone isn't dual SIM does that mean you can't put the new nano memory in it ???
I'm buying off very as 12 months interest free until I sell my note 9 .. they show a SD card which is obviously wrong but confused if no dual SIM will I be able to put a memory card in ??
I think I get mine on Friday so I will know then I suppose.

There is definitely a single and dual SIM varient.
Caroline warehouse confirmed they only sell single SIM. I don't believe anyone other than three are selling dual in UK. But happy to be proved otherwise.

I would also like to know this. I can't seem to find any conclusive answers. I guess we'll find out on Friday
I recently bought an unkocked Tmobile OnePlus 7T Pro and a replacement dual sim tray. I'm using Tmobile and SimpleMobile. I believe SM roams of the Tmo network.
The phone does not recognize the second SIM. I have read on the 7 Pro forum that the phone needs the "international rom."
I've tried searching here but haven't had any luck. I'm very new to this stuff, can someone point me to the thread/guide/download for flashing my OnePlus 7T Pro, so I can use my phone?
Just spent $500 on this phone and if I can't get it working, I will have to sell it and find another. Would really like to stay with OnePlus.
Really appreciate any help you have to offer, thanks!
If anyone knows that this is not possible, etc. feel free to let me know. I'm trying to find a different phone that supports dual sim, since my OnePlus seems incapable.

Hi I use my OP7t pro global HD1910 with dual.
He recognizes the 2 Sims and works very well.

Gonna be a little technical here. Going off the way my 6T works because it's somewhat the same. I have a TMobile branded 6T it doesn't support dual SIM out of the box while being on tmobiles version of OOS also it only comes with a single sim tray. I was able to convert it to the global firmware straight from OnePlus after unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP and utilizing a tool called MSMtool which is basically the Holy Grail of restore tools. Anyway with being on global firmware I now have support for dual SIM all I would have to is buy a dual SIM tray. As for the 7T pro (I'm guessing McLaren edition with 5G as that's the only one TMobile sells) I'm guessing it works the same way TMobile locked out dual SIM on their version of OOS and shipped it with a single sim tray.
However we did just recently (as in the last couple of days) gotten a working MSMTool, nobody was really experimenting with the device because if you screwed up there wasn't much you could do, now that we have an MSMTool it should make it a lot less of a risk experimenting with the device and seeing what's possible. As for the global conversion for this phone I'm not sure how it would go due to the whole 5G stuff it's possible we get a global conversion akin to the 6T but there's a very strong possibility of losing 5G support (at least I would assume 5G bands in Europe are not the same as the US).
I'd say if you can wait to give it a couple of weeks to a month and see what develops I have a lot of faith in the devs that work on the OnePlus devices. There's also a dedicated forum for the McLaren edition now and I've been reading around about everything.
I apologise if I'm coming off like you don't know what any of these things are I'm just trying to explain it the best I can.
Hey, that was a great explanation. Thank you!

No problem homie anytime, I would highly suggest holding out and seeing how things play out, it's a fantastic phone (currently have my 6T but plan on upgrading very soon to the 7T McLaren) I have very high hopes things will turn around for the better very soon. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me I'll help out as much as I can.
Thanks! I love the phone but returned it today, as the dual sim is a crucial function for me. Once I get the $ back I might get the international one, or maybe a Samsung S10 or Huawei. Been using OnePlus for a long time but it may be time to move on haha
So... I'm thinking about buying a new phone soon, and I had pretty much decided on the Asus Zenfone 9.
However, I just noticed it doesn't have eSIM built in, and this function is fairly important to me as I travel a lot.
But then I found out about esim.me claiming:
"It is no longer necessary to buy a new smartphone with a permanently installed eSIM chip (eUICC) to use eSIM - thanks to eSIM.me!
See: https://esim.me/blog-about-esim/the-esim-me-revolution
So my questions are...
Is anyone successfully using esim.me with their Zenfone 9?
And apart from having to use their app, are there any drawback with using esim.me compared to a permanently installed eSIM chip? And if so, what would they be?
Anyone?
I can't say I'm interested in giving this a try. However, I think it'd be important to first establish whether it works in general, let alone on a specific phone like the ZF9. Does this work on any other phone you have?
I don't see why it wouldnt work, since its basically just writing that esim into rewritable physical sim card.
Similar thing already existed since long ago marketed as multiple numbers on a single SIM card.

I have never used it myself, but according to my research it's pretty much established that it works. But I would like to find out if it works as well as a pre-installed eSim, and then of course if it works on the Zenfone 9. According to their website it works for earlier versions of the Zenfone.

Yeah I believe it should works as long as the APK can be installed.
Because it works by adding the esim into their app, then from the app it will write the SIM data into the physical SIM they provided.

Hmm, according to their website it is not a SIM-card they provide, but more like an actual eSIM chip in the shape of a SIM card. But I may have misinterpreted it.
