I have Honor 7 - PLK-UL00IN - Indian version.
Dual SIM is not enabled in this version. I'm in a need of it now.
Is it possible to get it via a patch or some other thing without rooting ?
My suggestion is to debrand it and flash a fw of a region which have dual sim support.
And I am not sure if this will work

I am not sure but I saw an entry in build.prop which says dual sim= true or false.
You can search online for editing build.prop using adb (without root, think I read somewhere that it is possible) and give it a try but keep a backup and figure out a way in advancr to put the original build.prop back if something goes wrong.
Might work... You can also contact DigiGoon, an Indian honor 7 developer for confirmation or more information.
Sent from my PLK-L01 using XDA Labs
Switching it to true could make it work, but I will hold off and wait for someone to make a guide
Plz someone help to make indian version of honor 7 = plk-ul00 to dual sim. Honor lauched it in india as single sim devies but hardaware still support dual sim (as seen in build props ) they some how made 2nd sim in airplane mode also sim mangement option is not available in settings.
I think we should install firmware of other region with dual sim suppo but then also promblem of 2nd sim imei no remains

So far no one did a mod for honor 7 (indian variant) to work as dual sim
To get it done legally only Honor people can do it. Because our handsets came with single imiei no. If u unlocked 2nd sim but without having 2nd imei no, it is crime in india
I forgot about IMEI, it may not work without a second one being present
I think we should request for dual sim support @ authorised sevice centers and Compony people.
Also somewhere on net I read about tools for enabling imei no. But that was for mtk (mediatek)devises which has much devlopment support .I dont know about honor/ huwei/kirin how to do it but there are ways too.we need somewone who is familiar with emui/kirin processors to do it
For now, we can't do anything about enabling dual sim on honor 7

Im thinking to move back to Honor 7 from 5X again due to lack of update.
But I'm locked inside 5X because of the Dual SIM support

It's a tough decision to which you'll use as daily driver, take 5x
Already riding on 5X. Hoping for a change soon.
I am waiting for my new device to arrive
I dont understand logic of honor people behind launching devices in some regions with blocked 2nd sim by software and in some regions with dual activ
Where as we pay as much price same, lets we deciide how to use the phone but they block 2nd sim tray.Again launched honor 8 and honor 8 smart with same condition

Seems that each region has their own preference.
In some region there is no proper OS update. But they release dual sim variant.
In some region they don't enable VoLTE. If required they are enabling it after some months.
In some region they give excessive bloatwares.
In some region they give 2 years commitment.
Its not the same all over the world. Sad to see this state

So a seller is selling a Chinese Mate 10 but he will install an international ROM on it. The question is, is it the IMEI number that tells you the origination of the phone or the software version?
When I bought my Mate 9, it was the C636 Asia version and had no idea at the time it is not covered by Huawei UK support. So is it ok to buy a Chinese Mate 10 with an international ROM, or should I buy it somewhere in Europe where it is released like Spain or Mexico? I would like the phone to be covered by Huawei Support but not sure if they check the IMEI or Firmware version to determine if it is eligible for support/warranty.
Am in the UK.
Thank you!
It will not be covered.

Hmmm I am tempted to get one from China as it would be the 6gb, 128gb version for the same price as the 4gb, 64gb version in Europe. I works just lose the official support. Hmmm!

You will also notice some other minor issues as there is a reason the Chinese devices are separate from others. Things like GPS and the way cell signal are done are very different then in the rest of the world. I would do some research first as there are thousands of horror stories of people buying the China version of devices and things just not being dependable.
Hi, was looking at the Mate 10 ALP-AL00 as it appears to be available now by resellers. Can anyone confirm if the bands on this Chinese model are sufficient for Europe? And any other potential issues? Thanks.
I think that is Chinese, I believe the international is L29.

Yes, since AL00 has even more bands supported than ALP-L29 (version that will be sold in Spain, for example).
See bellow Mate 10 ALP-L29 (Huawei Alps) vs. Mate 10 ALP-AL00 (Huawei Alps) Frequency Band Comparison
https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...-mate-10-dual-sim-td-lte-alp-al00-huawei-alps
The only hiccup you get with buying Mate 10 ALP-AL00 (Huawei Alps / China) is that although it does include English language there will be few parts in EMUI that are not fully translated therefore re-branding will be necessary (see link bellow for the rebranding tool and info) to have it without any chinese language leftovers throughout the system. After re-branding is done your phone will "act" like the ALP-L29 version with all OTA's and everything working

Did you have opportunity to check if dual sim is active or it is only standby?
Can you you be more specific? When you say that parts of the OS will still be in Chinese are you referring to system files that the average user will not be using and doesn't need to care about or part of the user interface that will be interacted with regularly or occasionally.
Why!!!
I bought a ALP-AL00 like it says in the box and in the cellphone itself.... I bought that version because of de 6Gb RAM and 128Gb ROM... BUUUUUUT... The firmware says it is ALP-L29.... I checked de imeis and both are the same that is shwon in tthe box.... Why?????

Unless you are in China, that is actually a good thing... AL00s are models for Chinese market, with different software and no Google apps. The fact that it say inside the phone software that it is L29 model means it has been rebranded to international software, with fully translated apps, Google apps and international OTAs

from what i read should i change to international rom to add google apps or i can add also in this rom

i would recommend to rebrand to bla29 aka the international version, but only possible via funkyhuawei so it will cost you 31 US $
Thanks that I Will do now just to choose The right firmware.
I think so it's more than 31$ because my boot loader is locked.
So, I'm seriously torn between which Mate 10 I want, the ALP-AL00 or the ALP-L29. The L29 would cost be about $600, where the AL00 would hit me for about $840.
I feel like I'm not a super power user so I wouldn't notice any kind of a difference between 4gb and 6gb, but at the same time I want the best.
I have a Mate 10 AL00
I rebranded my phone to L29
Will the LTE bands on my phone work like AL00 or L29?
I own an alp-al00 6gb version which is Only availble in china. Installed all the google stuff easily. And if you change the language its all English.

Yes if you are in eu you need to rebrand to c432 because the problem it's only for Europe huawei still didn't added eu country's to the list for associate the phone services with huawei ID that's why in the rest of countries in the world they don't have this problem With notifications with cn version of huawei devices
I had a honor v9 and I had the same problems In Spain then I rebranded to c432 and any more problems with notifications before that I need to have opened the apps for recive notifications
I understand or have found 3 different versions
BLA-A09
BLA-L29
BLA-L09
From what I can see the A09 version is the USA version.
I don't care what version is what, I just care about updates as fast as possible (out of the 3 versions listed) VoLTE for T-mobile and maybe At&t in the future but not sure.
Which is the better version to have ? No I don't travel out of the country.
I was also told that the A09 version can't be rebranded? (Not sure what the reasons to save and is but saw it mentioned someone like it's a downfall of some sort.)
Pro's and con's I guess is what I need.
Thanks

BLA-A09 is its own device, you can not rebrand A09 to L09/L29 or L09/L29 to A09. If you have an A09 now you're stuck with that. L09 = single sim, L29 = dual sim.
It's the Cust that matter.
Generally C432 and C636 get updates faster. But AL00C00 (Chinese) get the fastest updates.

Yeah I just need to know about the VoLTE and which model with have those capabilities.
So the A09 model which is a US version I have read is left in the dark when it comes to updates cause the USA more less tried to block this phone from being sold so anyone who has a choice in models should get the L29 or L09 model for USA use ?
Is there any truth to the above?
Does the international version use the same charger as the US version? Is anyone here using the international version in the US? How are the updates like?

Yeah from my research I need to get the L29 VERSION instead of the A09 US version, to be used in the US.
Is that what you have read as well?
I'm so interested in this device but this post is just another reason I'm avoiding for now. Versions, updates, bluetooth screwed up, notifications not working, camera jacked, dimming display, etc... I read articles about it and see youtube reviews that swear this thing is pure gold but the amazon reviews and other threads seem to say otherwise. WHY ME?????

The A09 version works with everything GSM in the US and has a one year warranty. The L29 version doesn't have warranty (since it's an international model) and I read it doesn't support VoLTE on T-Mobile.
The reason I'm deciding between the two is because the L29 version is cheaper than the A09 version and has more frequent updates. The thing I'm worried about is the L29's compatibility with US (T-Mobile) carriers. I heard it works for almost everyone, but some people had carriers block them due to the international version. I was also concerned about the charger, but it looks like they'll provide an adapter. I'm waiting out until closer to Black Friday to get the phone for cheap, hopefully close to $400.
I didn't know the L29 model didn't support VoLte.

Oops, I should've been more clear. It doesn't support VoLTE on T-Mobile, but you can rebrand it to the US (A09) version and it'll work then. I don't know about AT&T because I only plan to use it on T-Mobile.
Ok so my understanding is the A09 version is last to get the updates but you mentioned can rebrand to L29 to A09 which I thought I read somewhere in here you couldn't but if you actually can go L29-A09- "rebrand" does that effect updates in the "branding aspects?
Hello,
The Snapdragon 8 gen 2 is supporting DUAL SIM DUAL ACTIVE (DSDA) . The question is the galaxy s23 ultra have that feature ?
if not , why ? and how to enable it .

Thanks for the reply. Do you have link for more details ? also, if I change the firmware (CSC) TO China do you think it will work since they have have same (SOC) and 5g modem chipset ?
There are EU regions with dual-SIM enabled for the S23 series. I would suggest trying one of those first.

Seeing how that person is in Pasadena, CA, I question if it has to be the Chinese model.
It's stupid if Samsung doesn't support DSDA but I guess at the end of the day, it doesn't really affect me, as I use one SIM for calls and text and the other for data.
Through Odin, the firmware might be interchangeable. We just don't know yet because not many of us have our devices. What made conversions more challenging in the past with Samsung devices, was the different hardware. We don't have that here for most of the world.now. The Chinese version will not have eSIM capabilities because eSIM is illegal in China. We're probably going to be waiting on a custom ROM or combination ROM to get DSDA or DSDS for pSIM's enabled on North American versions, if the pins are there. From what I have heard, they should be. My eyes aren't good enough to see in side.of.my T-Mobile version to tell though and there is no place to buy a replacement dual-SIM tray in green yet to even see what happens when a second pSIM is inserted in slot 2.
With OnePlus, converting a device to another region or firmware, like with my 8T and 7 Pro, was fairly easy. However, OnePlus/OPPO cracked down on this and removed the second set of SIM pins making dual-SIM on North American models impossible.

Interesting. This year though, no Exynos might be the game changer. EU firmware tends to be a lot more friendly for North American use from my experiences flashing OnePlus devices. This is my first Samsung since the Note 9 though. Definitely looking forward to some flashing goodness once developers start taking an interest in the S23 devices.
Edit: T-Mobile should get me my SIM unlock by launch day so I am definitely interested in trying once the SIM lock is gone on my device.
I'm glad that I was linked this article before buying an S23. Might pick up the Oneplus 11 5G instead.
