Dual sim rom for ALP-L09?

Hi All,
Just bought Mate 10 ALP-L09 via Vodafone (Spain) thinking its was dual sim version, both nano sims fit in the device but only 1st sim is working, Then I discover there are different sku's for dual sim version. Is there a way to activate this into a dual sim version via firmware rom upgrade?? Its been a while since messing with my phones

You can use FunkyHuawei to rebrand it to ALP-L29 Asia version, and both sims should work. However it will cost money to do.

I don't have a single sim device, so I can't be 100 % sure, however, based on my experience with other Huawei phones, if you use the rebranding tool, it should work to enable two sims.
Note that IMEI for both sims will be the same, which, depending on your carrier, may or may not be OK.

Ok..thank's.. maybe i will wait some weeks before making something wrong.
I have a mate 9 and had many trouble with it. So.. Huawei is very special... Better is to wait a little bit..
Tx for all

Hi there! I'm in the same boat.
Have you decided to try activating the 2nd sim?
How much will it cost to do it through funkyhuawei?
that means losing warranty, no?
This worked (by mistake) on my Mate 9, I just had to order a dual sim tray from aliexpress.
No idea about Mate 10 though
Huawei Mate 10 ALP-L09 dual sim
Hi,
I'm new on this site and I already have a question regarding Huawei Mate 10 ALP-L09 which I have.
I bought this device from someone and receive it by courier without box and accessories(knowing that). When I open the phone to see the model number, I was sadly surprised, knowing that I was ordering the dual sim version. Anyway, my phone is ALP-09, theoretical the Global version of single sim. Instead mine have dual sim ports, two IMEI numbers and working 100% in dual sim mode. Even I have seen couple of missing settings, for example, Dual sim settings and second sim Ringing tone, etc. I have read information regarding this situation and I understand that it's possible using FunkyHuawei or Ministryofsolution help. But, my question is: if the previous owner have made this operation and also change the sim slots, in order to physically have dual sim properties, why did not also change the model number, or this is not important? My concern is if I will be able to receive OTA updates in this situation?
Thank you in advance for yours comments and advises.

Dual sim capability

Hi.. I bought a mate 10 pro and had hoped to set it up as a dual sim device... Imagine my horror when I pulled out a single sim tray :crying:
If I buy a dual sim tray will the phone support dual sim or are there different versions of the phone.?
TIA
Look for posts on xda from funkyhuawei that mention about rebranding to a different model/version which will enable dual sim function.

Rebrand S9+ and turn it to DualSIM

Hello everyone,
i could take this phone as an upgrade with my current plan, however it is of course single sim.
In EU there are any differences in the hardware between single sim and dual sim (other than the sim tray slot)?
Thanks

I wish it was that simple, could use that functionality tbh... Unfortunately you can not convert a single sim card phone into a dual sim card.
This is because the phone lacks the necessary connections/hardware internally for dual sim card support.

Huawei Y6 2019 - UK O2 Variant - Can it use dual sims?

I just bought a 2019 Y6 from O2 and had originally thought it was a dual sim edition just like almost every other 2019 Y6 for sale in the UK.
Turns out that the sim tray has the middle section blanked off.
What I'm wondering is, if anybody knows if the O2 variant is only different in the sense that they provide a sim tray suitable for only one sim card, or do you know if the phone is the same internally as the dual sim models?
(There are dual sim trays available on eBay)

Dual Sim

I am coming from a Oneplus 7 Pro T-Mobile, which I had unlocked and got a dual sim tray. Does anyone know if there are specific variants that support dual sim, or is just as easy as unlocking and switching out the sim tray?
