Hello all.
I just bought an LG V30+ (US998 model).
The phone is unlocked to any carrier and it has Android 7.1.2 and Hardware version Rev 1.0
It seems that the sim tray is the hybrid type in which you can insert an SD card or a second SIM card. However, when inserting a second sim card it is not detected. (rather obvious since this phone is sold as "single sim").
Would it be possible to enable the dual sim capabilities of the phone?
Software Info:
Baseband version: MPSS.AT.
2.5.c1.2-00017-8998_GEN_PACK-1-112143.14
Kernel: 4.4.63
Build Number: N2G47H
Software Version: US99810d
Thanks a lot for your help.

No, not that I'm aware of.

Thanks Matt.
I was hoping that by unlocking the booloader or installing a custom rom from a dual sim version of the LG V30+ it could've been possible.
Is it then a matter of hardware limitations rather than software?
That's not a dual sim tray. It's just 1 sim 1 SD card

Hi Kenbo.
It has a hybrid sim card tray. It can definitely hold a second sim card (or an SD card).
That is why I was hoping that by doing some software changes the phone would recognize the second sim.

You would need firmware that supports it like H930D (64GB dual SIM) or H930DS (128GB dual SIM), neither of which are compatible with any of the North American variants.
Even flashing the H930DS firmware over Europe H930 gives a fake dual SIM icon, not actually enabled. And those two firmware are "compatible".

Hello,
I bought a P20 lite in Orange store, but when i tried to put 2 sim, just one was reconize ( it's an ANE-LX1 ).
Do you know, what I have to do, for my P20 lite can reconize the second sim ?
Thanks you .
O.R
Do u see 2 imei codes in ure settings?
Same question here the phone doesn't seems supported on funky huawei
Where did you buy it from? Some sellers (carphone warehouse I. e.) only sell single sim versions. I got caught out with P10 lite, same model number as dual but it is only single maybe something like that has happened to you.
Reed the book U got with the phone. U can only use one sim at the time.
Well the trick is going to Settings > System and check if there are two IMEI available.
If there is, congrats, you have a dual SIM phone. To make them work you need to have two Nano SIM cards inserted (you lose the ability to have a SD card tough). Are your cards 4G/LTE compatible?
If so then you can switch between the two to have mobile data 4G/LTE. Please note that you cannot have 4G on both cards at the same time.
I have the exact same issue, bought the phone from Vodacom in South Africa, Logged a call with Huawei and they advise that Vodacom locks the ability for dual sim and there is nothing that they can do.

I do think it is possible to convert to dual SIM.
I had a Mate 9 (Single SIM) from Vodacom, re-branded to European version and then flashed the English Rom (Dual SIM). After that I flashed the local ROM again to receive updates and it is still running fine. I am just waiting for the re-branding tools to become available.

I will wait and see if some process comes up for me to get it Dual Sim even if it voids warranty.
Hello,
Are there any news of activating second sim?

I also have an Orange phone, unbranded, but It appears Orange in phone information. It has two sims space, but it's true, only recognize one.
It doesn't matter, but another bug disturb my mind. I can't use bank app to pay with contactless. It appears a message telling that the phone is enough secure, or it be rooted. My phone it isn't rooted, perhaps could be an NFC issue.
Help me pleaseeeee

Have you tried changing a SIM card?
Yes, it´s possible convert the single sim to dual sim, (at least the ANE-LX3 model, the model that I have), but you need the bootloader code and other stuff. I can´t share the link but exist a Huawei Latinamerican P lite and Mate lite Facebook fan page that have some tutorials in Spanish for that (Google it). If you have a different model version I think that it´s the same process only changes the rooms for the model that you have.
Sorry for my bad English!

Dear friend,
I was in Japan in this year and bought Huawei P20 Lite which works only with one sim, second sim is inactive. I know that it is possible change oeminfo and download new firmware - but which firmware will works with my phone I don't know. My phone is model ANE-LX2J C111. It is real a lot of firmwares on firmware finder for LX2J, but which from them will support dual sim and which support my phone model I realy dont know.

You're talking about carrier unlock or SIM card unlock, right?
What variant V30 do you have? What's the model number?
Japan carrier KDDI got the LG V35, not V30. You sure you don't have an LG V35?
Even this writer was confused:

Sorry, I don't know what V35 KDZ firmware is compatible to flash for various V35 variants.
With Frankenstein method -- using dev patched LGUP -- we're able to carrier unlock Sprint LS998 V30/V30+ to convert it to one of the carrier unlocked V30 variants, like AS998, H931 or US998.
Through trial and error we found out what's compatible for various V30 variants, and in doing so @txanmoe accidentally discovered the WTF Oreo bootloader unlock exploit for V30/V30+/V30S. He bricked his phone bad enough @runningnak3d had to help him recover, then later trying to do some stuff for H930DS users he permanently bricked his V30 phone.
But his momentous discovery was really an offshoot of the Frankenstein method. He was indeed trying to unlock the bootloader, and he did crazy stuff which shouldn't have worked, but exposed the MAJOR LG Oreo bootloader unlock exploit.
Might be possible to carrier unlocks Japan LG V35 with Frankenstein method, but you would need V35 compatible .dll file and you would need to know what's safe to flash and what's not.
i have the same problem, did you manage to unlock it?
I have an at&t phone, and i flash an open kdz, i can enter any sim card and it doesn't ask for code, but don't make a call, just show message: "emergency calls only"

* What "AT&T" phone do you have? This is the V30 forum -- so do you have AT&T H931?
* What "open kdz" did you flash?
Did you follow the Frankenstein instructions to convert to US998? That will DEFINITELY carrier unlock it and you will have access to publicly released current KDZ updates.
I saw what you described happen to someone else with AS998 (full bars but no ability to make a phone call). I told them to cross flash to US998 and it solved the problem. US998 definitely works:

Lg g8x is dual sim, I wonder whether you can upload the rom to LG V50s since they have the same hardware except v50s has bigger ram and storage.
Is it possible to make it dual sim?

both have same ram 6GB
honestly v50 and g8x are almost the same phones, and I still prefer g8x because of gorilla 6 LCD vs V50 has Gorilla 5
Considering that even if you have the ROM somehow - which you can easily obtain by getting the firmware files via a quick Google search - I highly doubt that dual - sim would work anyways; LGUP doesn't even let you flash a firmware that's not made for your exact model. I don't believe that the v50s even has a dual - sim slot anyways, so this is a lost cause.

LG V50s has a dual sim slot, but it is not recognized by the phone. The sim slot can carry a micro sd and sim. I can see that the main difference between the g8x and v50s is only the ram and the rom of g8x can carry dual sim.
So thinking maybe we can flash the rom of g8x to v50s to have a higher ram dual sim phone.
I cross flash the rom of g8x over v50s but non of sim working and cannot change network it shows 22.

Hi there!
I Have trouble with my Xiaomi 12T Pro. Firmware modem failure, when eSIM is enabled. Modem failure causes a lot of ramdumps to /data/vendor/ramdump/ And it fills up the storage.
Bootloader is unlocked, have root and TWRP. I installed the latest firmware modem from Xiaomi - this did not solve the problem.
Ramdump attached.
Help please!
Sorry for my bad English
There is two problem:
1. Spontaneously fills the memory in the phone until 0 KB remains. After the phone reboots into recovery mode and does not turn on until the Data section is cleared. After turning on the phone, the problem recurs, but not everytime.
Looks like, Filling of storage is stopping when the eSIM is off. I suspect that the problem is somehow related to eSIM, since there are also big problems with eSIM.
2. The eSIM profiles of AirAlo is working good. But the eSIM profile of a certain operator is not working in Ireland in the same time. Despite the fact that the physical sim of the same operator works fine. That eSIM was working good in in Latvia and Lithuania before, but not in Ireland in my phone. Also that eSIM profile is working good in iPhone (iPhone is not my)
When I install that profile, all networks in the phone is lost completely (and the physical sim stops working as well). The operator checked everything and excludes errors on his part. Screenshots are attachment
Xiaomi 12T Pro, Android 12 (Miui Global 13.0.3.0.SLFRUXM). Have no root, bootloader is locked.

I am sorry to tell you because i have been in the some problem and you have two options,
you can see on the mi website:
"Dual SIM (nano SIM + eSIM and nano SIM + nano SIM)*Use of eSIM requires a wireless service plan. This service plan may be subject to certain restrictions of use on switching service providers and roaming (even after contract expiration). eSIM availability may vary depending on country/region and carrier (https://www.mi.com/global/support/esim). For more details, please contact your carrier for more information. "

Nope. you can switch between U and U1 firmware but nothing really changes but if you try to flash other model firmware you either get an error or possibly brick the device. Samsung made sure the north American models wouldn't be able to be unlocked to be able to unlock the bootloader ever.
