Can any one help me in getting official updates on my phone and able to use indian sim on it.
NOTE : Have tried unlock codes to unlock the phone before modifying os but no luck.
Hello friends, I recently change the CSC flashing combination firmware.
My s9 plus its a single sim G9650 from ATT mexico but when the phone boot on binary mode onscreen say G9650/DS its normal? or its a dual sim version disguised by the carrier to a single sim?
thanks
Probably from the firmware. It most likely came from a DS model...
By the way, do you know if the Panamanian version can have its CSC change as well?

Hi all.
I own the above mentioned phone for some time now and I have a question for the forum.
The phone was purchased from Vodacom (Vodafone) in South Africa, their policy is to only sell single SIM devices.
So somehow the second SIM slot is disabled. What I want to know is if anybody has figured out how to reverse this and re-enable the SIM slot.
The phone is a Qualcomm variant and I came across a programme the other day on the MediaTek firmware website that can edit the IMEI number. My thought is that perhaps I could add the second IMEI to the phone which might make the firmware "see" the second SIM slot.
Does this sound feasible or even doable? Any advice is welcome.
I want someone more experienced than I am to give me some guidance before I try this so that I don't brick the phone and end up having to buy another one unnecessarily.
Thanks in advance.
Have you considered using MiFlash to flash an international version of MIUI to see if that gives you both sim slots?

No. I have only now learned of MiFlash thanks to you.
I will search for it.
Come to think of it though, the ROM is largely untampered with by Vodacom (unlike the Samsung's they sell), so I don't think that's how they did the dual SIM disablement.
My previous phone, which my son has now, is a Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime. Its also dual SIM device, and I upgraded the ROM on it in order to achieve the same result.
My belief is that it's kernel related and not firmware. What I need more insight into is how the SIM slots are detected in the firmware/kernel in order to be able to enable them.

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.
hi.. just wanna ask a simple question. my sister from u.s gave me her note 8 here in the philippines. the phone is open line already, and any sim here in the philippines can be use. i'm planning to update it with android pie using odin. now my question is, does flashing CSC will make my phone lock again to its original network provider? or it will stay open to any sim here in the philippines?

If it was brought unlocked it should stay unlocked.
