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.

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.
Just a hello from a new member and some info on my phone, in case this sort of info is helpful to anyone:
Country: Australia
Phone: Nova 3e
Model: ANE-LX2J
Current build number: ANE-LX2J 8.0.0.121(C636)
Note the phone just updated earlier today with whatever incremental changes were made relative to when this was out of the box (bought it a week and a half ago from JB).
I've grabbed the unlock code from the Huawei website, just need to go through that process then will likely root the phone and maybe install an alternate bootloader. But still trying to figure out what actually will be compatible with *my* phone, as compared with all the other P20 Lite variants.
#1 request for now would be to have a solid, no-frills AOSP-based ROM to replace EMUI. Whatever I can do on to help out on that front...
Cheers
Nik
Fingers crossed OpenKirin will have a good option for this device soon :good:
dual sim firmware code
I too bought the Nova 3e from JB-hifi in Australia. However, I was disappointed to find that it did not have the dual-sim option under my settings page. Wondering if anyone knows how to interpret the firmware naming conventions to identify dual/single sim options? My model is the ANE-LX2J, country code 636, current build is 121. Love to be able to flash this to a dual sim option, without losing the correct 4G bands required in Australia. Thank you in advance for any knowledge sharing.

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.
