I don't know what he is asking but I know a hardware hack to get dual SIM and SD at the same time. Pretty interesting

i believe he is talking about the phones with dual trays such as the S9. All of the phones with dual trays built into the chassis are physically able to accept a dual sim tray, just not all mobos have been set up to utilize a dual sim setup. The G960F and G960FD are the same phone, the D just stand for dual sim. AFAIK, nobody has done a tear down on a FD vs a F to determine if any hardware differences exist. Completely unrelated side note, its really hard to type when a kitty is pressing its head against your hands LOL!!

Lol. I believe the s8 models f and fd are compatible. Just needs the firmware and a IMEI tweak. I'm pretty sure the hardware is there. I'm actually been looking I to it on my 9650 as it has the hybrid tray. Im pretty sure it works. Just no IMEI attached to slot 2. I see guys somehow slapped slot one Imei onto slot 2 so just matching IMEI on both slots.

see, now would that fall under imei cloning? Is it problematic to "clone" your own IMEI within the very same device? If its all good, then id like to see it discussed a lot more. Im going to Romania in a few months and would love to have FD working on my G960U. I thought you had a 9550 not a 9650

Imo it wouldn't since it's same device same IMEI. Only issue is the s8 and up IMEI are written with cert files. So you would need more than likely a paid service.
Maybe this would work? Would make me a little nervous about waterproofing TBH but kind of a neat technical concept: https://www.simore.com/en/mobile-phone-accessories/samsung/galaxy-s9/
You might need something like this to make it work: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/xposed-unlock-dual-sims-sdcard-on-s9-s9.3888952/

Haven't posted here in awhile but I've been watching the HP Touchpad forums lately. Anyhow
I managed to get one of the AT&T Developer Xperia Play R800a units awhile back and posted pictures etc. Lately I've been borrowing a r800x model from a friend and he's borrowing my R800a to use in the Philippines. I was curious and pulled off the battery cover and saw the nice plastic SIM cover..
I just bought a water damaged r800x (took a risk on e-bay should be here soon). Hopefully the board is still salvageable... the seller just mentioned the screen was shot.....
I've noticed the bootloader has been cracked for the r800x models and was wondering if anyone ever tried flashing a GSM generic firmware to a R800x?
I imagine it would brick the device if all else..but was curious.
From what i've been reading on various sources is that the R800x has both the CDMA/GSM Radios however the GSM Side is more likely disabled in the firmware. I know it probably takes more than just flashing a GSM variants firmware to enable GSM use but was wondering if anyone was attacking or attempting on a solution to enable GSM.
In the Verizon forums, verizon workers are claiming the phone does not have a sim slot but a member basically shut them up by pulling the glued tab however there was no other posts. Seems like a pretty useless phone if you are traveling abroad... there has to be a way to enable this!
I own a Verizon Blackberry Storm 1 and it has a simcard slot that works when it's unlocked. I also got it flashed for Metro PCS and it was funny using a ESN off a old Motorola Razor and paying a dumb phone monthly price.
Thoughts suggestions? When I get the water damaged phone in the mail, i'll be happy to donate for DEV use. I repair cell phones and will have the phone in a workable state if the water damage is not beyond repair.

Thanks for posting! When you say not connected... do you mean hardware wise? I have yet to see the inside of the phone other than FCC pictures and don't want to tear open my friends R800x. Now you got me scared like it's missing something hardware wise internally
I was the one that took the brick...
The thought is that it's firmware locked, although it could just very well be unsoldered just the same.
And for the record, the generic firmware will work just fine on the phone. There is just intermittent data and calling issues since all the CDMA stuff has been removed.
The brick occurred when the TA partition in the nand memory was flashed with a gsm build. That's a lot deeper than replacing just the /system files like the generic build does.

Good info. Hmm...well that sucks! Now I really can't wait till I get the phone to tear it apart. Unsoldered? Hmm yeah that could be a possibility as well since i hear people sticking SIMS into the phone but it won't detect it. If I remember correctly I think my Verizon Blackberry would still detect a SIM inserted even when it wasn't unlocked. It just wouldn't logon to a GSM network.
I'll check to see how the R800a and R800x boards differ with their sim slots. If it's indeed unsoldered it will be obvious by looking.
Does anyone know if there is a hidden system menu on the Xperia Play like how some Galaxy Devices have to enable different radio frequencies, gsm/cdma etc? My thinking..if there is such a menu Verizon and Sony won't say anything about it.

There is no support in the kernel and I doubt even in the hardware. IF (and this is the best case) the baseband supports GSM, it is disabled via firmware (not the kernel driver, but the hardware firmware). A good way to test if the SIM card is hooked up is to use a multimeter and measure the voltage through the pins in the sim slot. This of course required opening up the phone partially.
Hidden Systems Menus

The only two hidden systems menus i've found are as follows:
Open your dialer, enter:
*#*#4636#*#*
This one has Phone info, Battery info, Usage States and Wifi info.
*#*#7378423#*#*
Has Service Info, Service settings (empty on my phone), and Service Tests.
Is this what you were looking for?
AFAIK, R800x has CDMA radio so GSM can't be enabled.
multimeter
nothing yet?
will it really be possible?
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/02/cdma-xperia-play-visits-fcc-promptly-gets-dissected/
I think using a multimeter in the sim slot would be the best way to answer it!
Could anyone try it?
I thought the CPU in the R800x could only do CDMA so GSM is impossible

Hi, I have a few questions:
1) How do you check the authenticity of the S5? What I mean is to make sure I have not acquired one of those cheap rip off's that look like a gs5, feel like one, but in reality that is NOT one...cloned gs5 with inferior quality in other words?
2) How can I check to see if the phone is blacklisted WITHOUT a sim card?
3) How do I check to see if its region locked or carrier locked?
I've browsed through 10 PAGES looking for info that I have not came across yet, which is why Im posting it here.
Edit: I also need to know how to check if the bootloader is locked as well.
1. You really never know. You would need to see it in person.
2. Plug the IMEI into swappa.com to see the status.
3. You can't unless you have it in person and test another SIM card.
4. The bootloader is unlocked for all G900T phones. No way to lock it.

I have the G900T in person...any idea's for what I need to look for?
Having an unlocked bootloader is what every one prefer to have, correct? I forgot why its important to have an unlocked bootloader...haven't touched this subject since the Evo lite came out (one with keyboard)
Will any sim card from any network work? Or would it need to be another sim card from T-Mo? Actually I need to brush up my understandings on sim cards as well, I've never owned a phone that required a sim card. Looks like I already have my work cut out for me, a whole lot of damn reading to do

If you have it, just download the app "CPU z" and post a screenshot here. I'll be able to tell if it's real or not.
Any sim card from ANOTHER carrier will work. A tmobile sim card is useless because it's meant to work with it.
Go here: http://swappa.com/esn to check if it's blacklisted or financed. You can get the IMEI from the Settings>About menu.
Is it possible to change the IMEI of the phone? I have the korean version and I want to use it in UK
I don't think IMEI has anything to do with where you want to use the phone. It more likely has to do with what bands your device utilizes. Also, I don't think changing the IMEI is legal anyways and if so, it won't be something easy for you to find.

Interesting, in terms of using a korean phone, I just like the outside look it's a special edition, is it realistic to take it apart and replace the parts with that of a normal S6 Edge?
Depends which model you have
In terms of 2G/3G it should work in UK
4G definitely not gonna work as the band is different
Taking apart for s6 edge is not a easy job if you aren't a repairman
I guess first you need to see if the phone is unlocked, then if it has roaming capability in UK, then usually should work but no LTE

It's the S6 Edge Iron Man edition released in south korea. I am not sure if the band is different, is band hardware or firmware?
Someone told me I need something called Z3X Box or something.
Would it be possible to use my edition in the UK? Is changing the IMEI not possible for privacy reasons?
No
It's like, can you change the VIN for your car for privacy reason?
Obviously not
I know that one, it will work but no LTE, I guess it's G925F but no promise there, do some research on YouTube probably you can get the answer

It's not like with MTK CPU based phones where you can do it by software.
The only way possible is by replacing the whole mainboard and getting therefore a new IMEI.

Actually IMEI has nothing to do with bands. IMEI is basically like a license plate of a car. It's a certification number given to every phone with a cellular band. It allows to trace back the phone to where it was certified, where it was built and what model it is. It serves no other purpose than for identification.

Hey guys.
Quick question, can a 965F model of the S9+ be turned into a dual sim by changing the SIM tray to a 965FZ?
My question here is if the sim tray is the only hardware difference, or if the 965FZ is specifically built with hardware differences to be able to read 2 SIM cards as opposed to 1 Sim/1 SD
This said I would also like to know if there are software differences and what would I need to flash in order for
It to work, in case it’s only a tray difference.

I currently have dual Sims running on my s23 ultra. Both Sims are from Verizon. Phone is unlocked and originally purchased from Google fi.
However, I am unable to designate one sim for data and one sim for calls only in sim manager. There is only an option to designate a primary sim.
Does anyone have any idea if there is a command to unlock all the features in sim manager? I tried searching, but have been unable to find anything.
This is a feature that Samsung doesn't offer. You have to choose a default SIM for both and then tap the indicators in the OS to swap between them. Like if you're making a call, both SIM names will show up at the bottom of the screen and you can tap which to use. When sending a message, you'll see towards the right of the text box there will be a number 1 or 2 in a SIM card. You tap that to switch between them. You can set custom labels and SIM icons/colors to help differentiate them further.
It hasn't been a big deal unless I need to download or send an MMS on the line that's not set as the default and I also appreciate that Samsung adds an option to set a specific ringer for the second SIM - allows me to just silence my data SIM.
I'm from South Africa and I use 2 physical sims on my phone. It gives me the options to decide which phone to use for calls/messages/data as per your screen shot. I see you have on e-sim and one physical sim. Maybe that is the reason you don't get the options I have. I have my primary sim for calls and messages and sim 2 for data setup. When configured it also gives you the options in the drop down menu to change on the fly without going into the settings menu
I definitely agree that the North American dual-SIM (pSIM + eSIM) options are lacking. Unlike the dual-pSIM model, pSIM + eSIM in North American models are DSDS (dual-SIM dual standby) instead of DSDA (dual-SIM dual active).

The last post in that thread seems to imply it was fixed/patched with OneUI 5. s23 Ultra users don't have the ability to roll back to Android 12
I must have missed that in the thread, that's unfortunate. Hopefully we will have a work around in the near future. Appreciate the info!
I also have this problem and hope it can be solved.
it's a little annoy because I have a sim for data and another sim for call and message.
I prefer to have my devices ask which SIM for every call. Depending on the country I am in, would determine the SIM I want to set for data.

I disagree, because i had 2 sims in my samsung Phone and it let me put from which shall be for data and which is for calls, sms/mms. So Samsung does have it, unless they removed it.

Apparently international variants have it, which I wasn't aware of, but US variants do not. This is a stupid thing for Samsung to do and I hope they fix it at some point.
I am using a s918b version. If I flash EUX Home_CSC , I will have option to select which sim for call, sms, data, and the data switch option as well. However, if I flash XAC (Canada)home_csc, then I only have one option to select which sim to be the primary sim. So I dont know, if it's a CSC related feature or not.
So If my device havevthe csc code with xaa, I can reflash with the csc which provide the dual sim manager?
