I have an unlocked UK find X2 pro and I don't feel like going through the switching region process just to enable the dual sim. I already purchased a dual sim tray for this.
So I found this old reddit to enable this manually for a Samsung phone using tasker:
https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/b0a1o5
Now I would the need the help of someone with a dual sim OPPO phone (probably better if its a X2 Pro) and monitoring enabling the second sim with adb shell settings list system
Any volunteer?
This probably worked on older android and is samsung specific. Chances of this working are really low but I guess someone could give it a try.
But, I did notice if you unlock your phone using the method in "Change region" thread instead of actually changing your region try typing "*#*#4636#*#*", go into "Phone Information" and see if you can toggle "Enable DSDS"

All models of the X2 Pro are dual SIM. Just the functionality has been disabled by Oppo in the EU because of GDPR.

That's after unlocking the phone with the "Sec5.exe" way from the "Change region.." thread right? Not talking about SIM unlocked(international) phones.
The change happens after you select another region not after you unlock the phone using this method so if you wanna keep everything the same you just unlock it without switching to Singapore.
Oh I didnt know there were 2 types of unlocking. My phone is SIM unlocked yes I bought it from an official UK retailer directly.
Would this void the warranty?

You should probably read through the other threads here. We don't know but we speculate it doesn't as it's using oppos own tools to flash official roms.

The problem is, I am not in the UK, I ordered the phone from the UK, but in my country, we don't have an OPPO service center.. :/ So that's why I am asking for a self-service way to do it. I have installed custom ROMs to phones before, I quite know how to do things here and there.
@AnthonyMkD even if there are no actual Oppo Service centers where you live there probably are some sort of service providers/companies which act as Oppo's official service partners and do all the repairs for them. They should be able to do that. It's the same where I live.

I bought an E970 on Ebay and when I tried to unlock the phone it did not accept the code. I used the code 2945 # * 970 # to enter in the SIM Unlock Process, and on the Network Lock option it says "this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked". Is there any way to reset this setting? Can I use a box to remove this setting, or reset the counters? Thank you
I contacted LG and they told me that only AT&T can restore the phone. Is that true?
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Sounds like a SIM lock, meaning an unlock code was typed in like 6 times wrongly.... I am pretty sure it is just locked at that point. OR it is stolen..

I don't know much about this but I don't think that's true. SIM unlocking the phone doesn't happen over the networks so AT&T, other than having the correct code, doesn't have much to do with it. Also, nothing is permanent on the phone other than /system which requires root to change. I think you could solve your issue by factory resetting the phone. That should clear out what ever file or app is saying you are permanently blocked after incorrectly entering a code.
You could also try clearing data for certain apps that have to do with the SIM card and phone app. But I have no idea which ones and it could cause problems.
EDIT: I saw whoamanwtf's post. I have had my phone sim locked before and yes contacting the original carrier will get you the code. I thought you were talking about sim/network unlocking.

I am talking about SIM/network unlocking.
I bought the E970 while in the US, but I live overseas in Europe. I used the phone in the US with a AT&T Sim card, when I returned to my country in Europe I tried to unblock the phone so I could use it with Vodafone, but the code didn't work. The phone is already rooted and have the bootloader unblock all by me.
That's when I used the code 2945 # * 970 # to enter in the SIM Unlock Process, and on the Network Lock option it says "this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked".
The previous owner must have tried to unblock the phone using Internet codes, you can only insert 10 wrong codes, before the cellphone locks itself for good, meaning it stays blocked to AT&T. My question is does anyone know how to remove the setting of permanent locking? The phone works fine, but I cant change the SIM card to my carrier, it won't accept the SIM.
I was told that those kind of setting are in a different part of the phone, in dedicated chips and you need to use special tools like the SE tool box, or the Z3X box. But none of those boxes currently support this phone.
Does anyone know more about this? I really need to use the phone and I can't because my Vodafone SIM card is not accepted.

This is just guessing, but no, I don't believe so.
This isn't a ROM issue.
The only thing that I can think of that MIGHT work is lgnpst... or maybe even the n4 conversion and then back to the stock OG.
The only reason I think that may work is it completely overwrites some partitions that are otherwise untouched by recovery/flashing/etc.
Mind you, the process is really dangerous and not supported by most of the devs (including those who pioneered it).
OP - either try and sell it for ~$100 and get another one... or try those methods since it doesn't do you much good atm.
Or go to the irc channel and see if the much much (much much much) more knowledgeable people in there know a fix.

Where can I find the lgnpst?
Usually this kinda of problems can be solved using dedicated hardware/software, such as service and repair tools.
I'm sure LG have them, since they're the ones who made the phone, so it's a matter of time until someone makes a commercial repair tool.
I just need to know if someone as ever tried to read/write or at least located the EEPROM with the hard network lock.

But again, Idk if that will do the trick or not, it is the best chance though.
Does anyone ever tried to find were the phone saves the information about the sim card? Or about the carrier?
Maybe it's possible to fool the system.
Does anyone know where the information is written?
Does the phone uses a separate chip or is it in the internal memory?
Sorry about all the questions, I just want to understand why the sim lock can't be removed.
If AT&T can remove the lock, it's just a manner of finding were that information is.
The phone searches for the sim card only after booting, right?

I believe I read that there are some partitions the conversion leaves intact.
So since you have to go the irc anyways to get lgnpst, I would ask them there if that would even fix your issue. If it won't they can save you from performing a few hours work and risky hacks.

I flashed the original AT&T ROM using lgnpst and it's the same.
From the experience I have from old phones (especially Nokias) the permanent lock is written on a special chip.
Normally you need to use special software/hardware like the Z3X-Box or SE Tool Box.
They can repair almost everything on a phone, but right now they don't support the LGOG. I think it's because they're from Europe and E970 is America only.
Anyway I'm going to send the phone to America, maybe the guys at AT&T can repair the phone. But I have my doubts since I purchased the phone on Ebay and don't have any type of receipt. And if you permanently block your phone that's normally your fault, so they refuse to repair.
One thing you could try add a last ditch is to pull the battery by opening the case. Then factory reset and start over by root freegee.

I am new to Huawei. Currently on BLA-L09 8.0.0.125(C34) on Optus(AU). I want to rebrand it to Asia/International version.
The queries I have.
01. Can someone please point me to the right Zone Code (i.e. C34) which I should be using?
02. Is it safe to use ROM's for L29 in L09 set and change the Zone? (i.e. rebrand with L29 Asia/International ROM)
03. If I use a L29 Asia/International ROM and purchase a Dual Sim tray, does both the sim slot works?
Thanks in advance.
This thread is relevant to my interests (I also have a pro w/Optus).
I emailed the good guys at Funky Huawei. They pointed to me that, I need to change to C636. In settings, I can see two SIM support is now enabled. Ordered a dual SIM tray, once I get them delivered, I hope they do work. However, the only thing I am missing is the VoLTE support. The option is not in the settings anymore. I wont certainly wont miss the option much but still trying to find a way. Apart from that, the ROM is smooth.
where did you order the dual sim tray?

I did it because I needed the dual sim support that wasn't present with the firmware I was using.
The process honestly it's pretty straightforward, I can't complain.
Look like there no hope of having a lineage OS for our mate 10. It has been so long and no developer had build any of it.
I am also looking into rebranding.
Did you check with FH guys about support for Optus VoLTE???
I tried to flash firmware from Huawei frimware finder and bricked my Mate 10 pro. Is there any way I can fix it by flashing the stock firmware again?
I also have a m8 10 pro with optus. Thinking of doing this too hows reception any changes? Also does the AI still work i hear if you root then it gets disabled could you confirm it still works?

You could rebrand back to Optus model and have both VoLTE and dual sim. Even if you rebrand to a single-sim branding, FHRebrandTool gives you dual sim. The only caveat is, if you're on a single-sim branding, you can't put a PIN code on your sim card.
I'm I'm c34 and can't even get volte to work. Optus have been useless.
My Sim has volte enabled, as my wife's mate 10 pro has it working wth it.
After hours of 'tech support's and a trip to the useless staff as the store, the only advice I received was "can you come back tomorrow".
Useless.

Hello everyone,
First i want to thank everyone at XDA Forum community for being a great resource of information and providing great community support.
I purchased Moto G Power 2021 (Android 11), locked to verizon. I am trying to unlock it to be used on other carrier such as tmobile and for traveling. I came across websites that sell the unlock code.
However the problem is when NON-Verzion sim card is inserted in the phone, its does not ask for sim unlock code. Therefore not sure how to carrier unlock the phone.
If someone has insight how to go about network sim unlocking the phone, that will be very helpful and greatly appreciated. thank you
i'm in the same boat
Verizon is a cdma network and boost is a gsm network. The radio files included in your Verizon firmware probably aren't capable of connecting to a gsm network as the two networks operate on different frequencies and I assume employ different connection/communication protocols. You MIGHT could flash the firmware from boost for the same model, but even doing that could be frought with problems like if the boost firmware is older then anti rollback protection wouldn't allow it to boot when flashed, and I'm not sure if the Verizon and boost versions have exactly identical hardware, which could cause massive problems even if it did flash and boot. For example, this model phone has like 3 different touchscreens and using a firmware with the wrong touchscreen drivers would render the touchscreen useless. If you're determined to carrier unlock, be ready to do some serious digging and read everything you possibly can before doing anything that could have irreparable consequences. Best of luck

What's the model number of it?
I'd imagine you maybe could flash the firmware for the carrier you want to switch to using the fastboot flash method, the rescue tool will only flash your phone's official firmware. But you can download different builds for different carriers off of lolinet and if they don't work you could flash the correct firmware to get back to where you are now. You might flash your official fw with the vendor stuff from the other carrier's rom if flashing the whole firmware doesn't take or isn't compatible in some way.

yes, it does. it is network locked and "not eligible" for unlocking.
I called Cricket, but they won't unlock it because it hasn't been on their network for the six months they want.
I bought the phone really cheap on ebay for its long battery life., it's damaged (bent as if someone sat on it) but works fine, no cracked screen or anything else. I want to use it on my T-mobile account.

I believe the issue of why it's not asking for unlock code may be two fold. For one, since you mentioned you bought the phone locked to Verizon, was it purchased from them or was this a second hand purchase like ebay/FBMarketplace etc? Because either way you'll have to meet the carrier minimum requirements for unlocking a device, the former scenario of you having bought the device yourself being much easier to deal with than the latter case.
Second, as was mentioned here earlier, you may be dealing with different hardware. I'm not sure if the G Power 2021 all contain the capabilities to run all network frequencies or not. But if it's hardware restricted or dissimilar to other models in kind based on network carriers & OEM agreements, you might not be getting the chance to input an unlock code because the third party SIM inserted may simply have no way of being recognized by the device, either from a software vendor blob limitation, a hardware radio restriction or lack of capable hardware, or both!
I know this is an old one, but was a solution ever found? Currently stuck with Moto G Power 2021 as well, locked to cricket. It doesn't prompt to enter a code either.

That sounds better honestly. I'm open to using a 3rd party company, but point me in the right direction if possible. I've been looking, but no idea what service to use if the moto g power isn't asking for a code.
EDIT: Actually, I finally found someone at a reasonable price to do it, and it worked, phone unlocked. They used USB Redirector and did their thing. Took all of 10 minutes. Now I just need to flash a different rom to rid myself of the cricket bloatware.
Have you tried another sim card in your phone, I'm pretty sure these all come unlocked by default. Mine was bought at US Cellular & I'm using a prepaid Verizon service by simply throwing the new sim card in the phone. It works perfectly as it did with US Cellular with no setup or changes required. I believe all moto g power phones do this I had a regular moto g power not 2021 that was on Verizon I switched to straight talk the exact same way.

Actually, another random question, but is there no way to update without unlocking the bootloader? LMSA? Just making sure.
I'm curious if anyone knows the compatibility of a US Verizon s23 ultra and T-Mobile's network. I assumed they would be compatible as long as its carrier unlocked however I'm having issues getting my Verizon s23 ultra to accept my t-mobile sim. Any insight from someone with more experience is welcomed.
Verizon locks the phone for 60 days. After that, you're good to use whatever SIM you choose (you may have to flash the U1 firmware to get all features working though).

Its unlocked I manage about 40k in devices so they unlocked it for me without much hassle but they cant answer why my t-mobile sim isnt working.
That sounds like it's still locked to me? Are you using the pSIM or the eSIM? There have been some reports recently that the pSIM gets unlocked and the eSIM remains locked to the original carrier but if you're trying to use the pSIM and they say it's unlocked, I don't know.

The esim is verizon and the psim is t-mobile. Ive had small issues in the past with devices not being able to take full use of the network etc. but not flat out not working.

Yeah that's strange. On paper it definitely should work.

Ty for the replies. If I figure something out ill post back, in meantime I'm going to try and flash U1 and see if that helps.
Hi , I recently sold my op11 and I want to buy am x40. If if change the ROM to global and global update channel, can I lock the bootloader and get ota updates? Also is eSIM working if I change to global?

I can confirm OTA does work, I haven't personally used eSIM but the option is there in the settings along with dual SIM after conversion. Flash an older firmware to verify that you can get OTAs then relock. That's what I did. Attached a screenshot just to confirm

No problem, I had previously had a Op11 and an S23. Can confirm this phone, at least on the EU firmware, is much much better.

Yes the thing is I had it back in January. But i sold it because I thought there would be no global version and I need location history and voice search. So I bought OnePlus 11 but it's not as good as the Moto. So now I'm coming back since there is a way to change to global and lock bl

Hi, could you please try the eSIM option? If it's actually working on your converted X40.

I don't have an esim to download. I use physical Sims cause it's more convenient for me, if I was still on Google Fi I could test for you but can't sadly. The hardware supports it and the software support is there on the EU ROM, don't see why it wouldn't work. I'm assuming it's either 2 physical Sims or one physical and one eSIM if you're wanting dual sims
