Single sim to Dual sim w/out Marshmellow B183 - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just got this phone it was bought from and I live in the UK.
ALE-L21C432B183
Its not branded, but dual sim settings are not available and when I put a nano sim in the slot nothing happens.
I would like to enable dual sim but stay on an official stable (not beta) firmware, I've had a good look through the forum but I can only find guides that reference older pre-installed firmware, or going to Marshmellow beta.
Does anyone have experience of doing this?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Anyone?

Hello ,Yes it's easy
First step is unlock your bootloader with your unlock code . you have to ask huawei to give you the code.

Mine works but only one in each slot not both in at same time works with one in one or the other. UK networks lock this feature out and sell as a single version yet its double. awaiting to download files to do rest.

Thanks for the replies both. I was hoping to achieve it without root. My company's email can't. Be accessed from rooted devises.

Thanks for the reply pal. I'll let you know later when I get to it. What were you unlocking for? Do you have the same intention as me?

Yes i was going to update to 6.0, but then weighed up the pros and cons and decided against it because i dont really need the dual sim function to be honest so ive left it. I originally bought it on o2 but found its actually unlocked.

I have got mine working and to be honest isint all that made oyr you can only run one at $G and other at 2G or 3G services cant run both of them in 4G mode its good to have the 2 options like to have 2 sim cards save having to carrie 2 phones around but then no sd card slot available. maybe if they did 2 sim slots and sd would be much better

I followed instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/help/stock-rom-huawei-p8-lite-t3125331
Downloaded the mega file and a few pages on and another guide followed this
Hi - This is really working : see the detailed step by step below :
Step 1 - Download ALE-L21V100R001C432B046b.rar from link above .
Step 2 - Unrar - you will have two folders STEP 1 and STEP 2
Step 3 - put both SIM - Micro and Nano in phone sim slots
Step 4 - Connect the phone on computer as USB drive
Step 5 - Copy From folder STEP 1 - dload folder on your root phone internal storage \ !!! only the dload folder
Step 4 - Disconnect the phone from computer
Step 6 - Start update procedure --> settings - update - local update - at this step the Vodafone logo will be replaced by Huawei one and other major changes .
Step 7 - after first reboot use sim pin if is asked (usual 1234)
Step 8 - Connect the phone on computer as USB drive
Step 9 - Copy From folder STEP 2 - dload folder on your root phone internal storage \ !!! only the dload folder
Step 10- Disconnect the phone from computer
Step 11 - Start update procedure --> settings - update - local update - at this step the update procedure is finalised.
Step 12 - after reboot use sim pin if is asked (usual 1234) and both SIM sd be visible .
Just above the WIFI in settings you sd have dual card management menu option.
With these steps on my P8 lite from initial single sim :
- build number ALE-L21C02B130, and custom soft version probably requested by VDF- custc02d001 -
I have after upgrade dual sim working :
- build number ALE-L21V100R001C432B046b and no custom soft version.
Worked first time around after messing with all the others about rooting and unlocking boot none of it worked found this first time around work flawless.

Yes Lollypop am and android 5.0.1 as it did the updates from update service after so far so good. Am working on downloading marshmallow next to see if that work too as got everything else now working to a T with boot loader unlocked but cant seem to lock it back up so maybe leave open for when the custom ports come if they come for 8lite

Well since doing and now updated am now on Marshmallow. Lots of new options and one to not get confused with when putting usb in make sure you select file transfer or you wont get any options for it. Seems has new options for usb devices and when connecting you get option to charge phone only or file transfer or photo. Nifty little option had me worried that I had done something to me phone when plugging in lol.

Hey mentalghost.. Which MM ROM did you install beta or official?? Did you get the bootloader unlock code?

[GUIDE] Galaxy Tab Network Unlock

**UPDATE**
This method causes your serial number to change to 00000000 (which isn't a problem as such as this isn't currently used for anything) but there is a new method which involves directly hex editing the nv_data.bin file, which may be faster and does not change your serial number. You can find the details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843323.
**UPDATE**
First up I'll say that I'm not incredibly familiar with Galaxy S firmware changes/modding, and this mostly builds on work done in these areas, so not all these steps may be necessary but they worked for me. If someone can suggest a faster way to do this/unnecessary steps then please go ahead and reply with them!
This unlocked my Network Locked Australian Galaxy Tab and so I assume should work for others.
You should back up your /efs/ folder before you proceed as you may need this to undo if something goes wrong.
*I take no responsibility if something goes wrong!*
Requirements:
Root access
repair_nv_data.zip (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8942669&postcount=94)
Java
Busybox
The Android SDK for ADB, Root Explorer or some similar file system explorer/editor
(If you have US firmware with no Phone software, you may need to flash European firmware as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838250 ).
Firstly, on your phone dial *#7465625# and check if the Network Lock is set to [ON], if so then your phone is locked (duh), so continue.
1. Use Superoneclick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367) to root your phone (the other z4root method may work as well, but this isn't what I used).
2. Either use ADB or some other method to rename or delete (backup first):
/efs/nv_data.bin.md5
/efs/.nv_data.bak
/efs/.nv_data.bak.md5
(I just used Root Explorer to rename them to something else).
3. Restart your phone and then go into the /efs/ directory and see if the 'nv_data.bin.md5' file has been re-created by your phone, as long as it has been created then you can proceed.
4. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8942669&postcount=94 and download the repair_nv_data.zip file (the credit for all of this mostly goes to that thread and helroz).
5. Install 'busybox' from the Market. Once you install it, you actually have to run it and properly install it (the Market app is basically an installer) - the files in the above zip have a dependency on this.
6. Extract the above zip to your PC, plug in your Tab in USB debugging mode. Run the Step 2.bat from the extracted file. You may need to allow the script super user access several times. This should copy the /efs/ and a bunch of files into a directory with a french name.
7. Run the Reparation_nv_data.jar file. (You will need Java for this step.) It will prompt you to enter two numbers, which are your pseudo-unlock codes. I entered '11111111' and '11111111' (eight 1's) both times. This rewrites the nv_data.bin file to be simunlocked with these details.
8. Run the Step 4.bat. Your superuser app (the one installed when you rooted using SuperOneClick) will need you to allow each command to have root access so keep an eye on your Tab. You may need to press y/n a few times if you encounter errors. This is uploading the edited nv_data.bin onto your Tab.
This batch file will stop several times and need you to hit a key when it pauses. My Tab rebooted halfway through this batch file - when it did this I waited for it to fully reboot back to the lock screen before pressing a key to make the script continued while the Tab was actually able to respond to its commands.
9. Towards the end of its execution it rebooted a second time. It paused during loading up and had some yellow writing on the screen saying it was updating media (I assume it was rebuilding the nv_data.bin). Leave it for a minute and it will prompt you to reboot/some other options. Just press whatever it wants (home I think) to reboot the phone - you don't want any of the other recovery options.
10. Go into your dialer and put in *#7465625# again and (hopefully) voila! Your phone should no longer be network locked. Try a SIM from a different provider to make sure.
Enjoy!
Edit: I had to go out and actually buy a prepaid SIM to confirm that all was working with a different provider. Attached are screen caps of my Tab on two different networks, as well as the network status screen, making/receiving calls etc. all works on both.
Awesome man, thanks.
This is much better than the 2 month wait we had for Galaxy S unlocking.
Hello, I'm french and i use your post to unlock my Galaxy TAB SFR ''réunion island'' and she is unlock thanks for your AMAZING post for unlock TAB
Ps: For unlock my TAB by SFR REUNION, he tell me 150 Euros.... Vive smithdc & helroz
Works well! I had little trouble running java on windows7. But changing compatibility mode to windowsxp sp3 and check run this program as an administrator solved the problem.
Thanks for easy guide!
tacoda, you mean for running the .jar file? or for installing Java itself? (I assume the former).
Sweeet thx , curious if unlocking the AT&T version has hardware only set to AT&Ts 3G frequencies, so 3g wont work on tmobile or is it capable of running 3g on tmobile with a unlocked AT&T tab?

Does the sim card and/or sd card should or should not be plugged in during the unlocking progress?
It shouldn't make a difference Zeron.Wong.

Traditionally, AT&T and T-Mobile hardware used different radios, it was more than just firmware. That's also true on the little brother Galaxy S series, the Vibrant has a different radio than the Captivate (though the Vibrant radio DOES have 1900 band in the hardware, for some reason).
Kudos to smithdc for this awesome guide! I saved a lot of money thanks to him. Congrats again.
Bump, is there any way to sticky/pin this for people?
So your saying if I use this method and install my tmous unlimited sim I can get calls and 3g or do I need a prepaid sim
I'm not sure on how T-Mobile are blocking, but if it IS my IMEI then you would have to use a SIM from a different network.
If they are blocking your IMEI on their network, then you would have to use a SIM from a different network (as a different network, wouldn't be blocking this IMEI number). Changing it to a different SIM on the same network won't help as your IMEI is for the device itself.
I just want to clarify something..
I have a T Mobile Tab and want to use a SIM I have for ATT.
Will I have to flash my device with the EU firmware first in order to get the phone software on it..then do the rest of the unlocking steps?
Assuming thats correct..after unlocking it I then can put my ATT sim card in and it should work for calls and data (Edge only) with not having to tweak any setting at all? Or do I have to set up my wap.cingular connections for the data like on a WM phone on ATT?
And if I want to get back to original out-of-the-box firmware from T Mobile (like if I had to send it in for repair) I just have to flash stock T Mobile firmware and its back completely to original?
Thanks..and wow am I loving this TAB !!!
You'll need to set up your APN data for AT&T, yes.
Thanks for the fast reply. As for the flashing of the EU rom..is that the only/best way so far in order for me T Mobile Tab to get the radio software on it. I was thinking I saw an APK for the radio software someplace but did not know what way was better.
I just want to be 100% sure bfr I take the jump to unlocking and playing with the phone part
thanks
I got a quick couple of questions:
1. If I restore original firmware (Canadian), does it relock my phone?
2. Where can I get the Canadian firmware release? I see EURO and US, but no Canadian.
I read on one of the other threads that sim unlock method also changes your imei number. Is this really case?

Yes, it will set your IMEI to a bogus one that will get your T-Mobile internet access disabled after 1/2 hour.

T-Touch S7 Android 2.2.2 Unlock

Hi Guys, Just did something I though t I should share, I sim unlocked and updated to Android 2.2.2. on my Telstra T-Touch, IdeosS7 or what ever other name it goes under.
It now works with Vodafone, 3mobile, optus, virgin and even woolworths and Telstra Sims, I did this with 3 T-touch device all working and no issues, hope you all have the same luck.
They are the S7-104 models
How, first download the Russian Ideo S7 from Huawei site,
huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3212&tb=0
select the software tab and download the from the following selection:
S7 V100R001C70B112(Russia Channel)
2011-08-24 Host Software -- 128.76MB English
Unzip the file and extract the dload folder completely.
Format a blank Micro SD card in your pc and copy the dload folder to the root directory
******* BACK UP YOUR DATA *******​I wont be held reponsible for any loss of data or stuffed up equipment
Power of the unit and remove battery, place MIcroSD into the Devcie, replace battery and cover and turn on, wait, the device should show a status bar and when complete the word 'OK' the device will now reboot, when it turns off, and before it restarts, remove the SD card and wait for the unit to cycle through and install the software, it may restart 2 or 3 time then ask you to calibrate the screen, this might happen twice as it did for me, and after that it was perfect.
You need to change the input keyboard to english and add your APN data Australian data can be found here:
hdmp4.com/APN
And that should be that at least for me it was, best of luck.
You could use the Norwegian Rome as well, which was what many of us had done. The unlocking is also permanent meaning you can flash to another rom later if you want to. Eg I flash to the telstra 2.2 later for better stability (for me).

- Not sure but I have network issues. Sometimes my phone gets "unreachable" state even I have 4 bars.
- There is a widget problem, "The widget loading problem" after each reboot.
- On calls your sound is very husky. You can try to solve changing build.prop "ro.config.dualmic=true" to "ro.config.dualmic=false"
- Some users reported screen lag, freezes and and glicthes.
- Sound (your sound from calls) not very good.
- Widgets get "The problem loading widget" on every reboot.

Downgrading!
I go back to cm7 like this;
- Copy B138 dload to internal memory - This is important.
Power off your phone go to pink screen. Notice: you can't go the pink scren without sd-card. So, after copying dload directory insert sd card.
- Go to pink screen
- In pink screen, I replace all the files from my 2.2 backup. (If you don't do that, downgrade not work. Its failed step 2/2)
- Remove sdcard from phone and start the B138 update like always.
- After installing phone should open normally.
- Once your phone open normally, you can install cwm and flash any rom you want it.
I noticed cwm data backups not works, I don't know why its not worked. Maybe some experience person can explain that to us.
- Please notice, Even if this version worked on my phone, that doesn't mean it will work for you. You can try, I'm not responsoble of anything

Better support, better phones, higher quality, China keep trying and keep failing in the support part of most products for some reason, I can't figure out if its a culture thing or a government thing that makes them not care about their customers

Install W10 Mobile build 10240 on 930,640,640XL (links are back up) (Astoria)

This post is rather old. If your looking for windows 10 mobile on your device you can download the windows insider app here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/windows-insider/9wzdncrfjbhk
Build 10240 was a leaked build with project Astoria. If you want the build you can download it but its pretty old.
When you first get to the home screen immediately turn on airplane mode. After that go into settings and check for an update. It should say no updates found. Now you can turn airplane mode off and download app updates. The reason you must do this is because the phone will try downloading a system update but never actually starts downloading. The pending update causes all the app updates to wait until the system update is done. But it wont ever be done.
DOWNLOADS:
Lumia 930 - https://mega.nz/#F!JwpyBSxA!HJSIJehG6RD8YMmOd8NOGw
Lumia 640- https://mega.nz/#F!JwpyBSxA!HJSIJehG6RD8YMmOd8NOGw

Windows Phone Image Designer for flashing ROM https://mega.nz/#!k5I0zZLB!cIt5bD_qYMVuhGcfcUA9694BacLd2k1t_skydyvmnvM
Before flashing make sure you have a backup ffu. Flashing this ffu will change your product type so to revert back to normal you need to have a retail ffu file for your phone. If youve used the recovery tool before you should have a retail ffu file in C:>ProgramData>Microsoft>Packages.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE.
WARNING: SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GETTING A SECOND SIM ICON ON THEIR PHONES AFTER FLASHING THESE ROMS EVEN AFTER REVERTING BACK TO WINDOWS PHONE 8.1 USING THE WPRT OR A BACKUP FFU. THE ICON WILL NOT GO AWAY AND CURRENTLY THERE IS NOT A SOLUTION TO FIX IT. IT ONLY OCCURS ON SOME PHONES NOT ALL. YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
1. Download the ROM for your phone from the link above.
2.Download windows phone image designer from the link above.
3.Put your phone into UEFI mode by turning it off and then booting it while holding the VOLUME UP BUTTON. You should see a lightning bolt on your screen.
4.Plug your phone into your pc through Usb and open windows phone image designer. Select the x86 folder or the x64 folder depending on your version of windows.
5.Click on the Start.bat file and windows phone image designer will launch.
6.Once booted select "Flash a Windows Phone image onto your phone" and click next.
7. Your device should show up under flashable devices. Click on change and select the ROM you downloaded.
8. Hit "Flash" and wait for the program to finish flashing.
9. Once done your phone will reboot and you will have installed build 10240 on your device! 
can you be more specific as in what way the "major improvements" are?
1. is store still slow and weird?
2. does slide down notification still weird, hit n miss kind a thing?
3. what about battery usage? improvement over 10166?
4. general stability, does it occasionally still restart? rarely but it happens i guess. and general responsiveness?
thanx for giving info
Could you upload more photo !!
As I know this version has android 4.4 inside . could you find any android message ? what different with old ver ?
I am 640xl and had downloaded it too , But I have not courage flash it . because people could not go back to normal if flash this version .

1. The store is a lot more fluid and loads pages faster. Downloads now seem to be smooth and free from errors.
2.slide down notification seems fine. No having to swipe down twice.
3.Battery usage overall seems the same as my lumia 640 when it had wp8.1 on it.
4.The general stability is great! Touch is very responsive and there are barely any "loading" screens when an app is launched.

You can revert back to a normal build you just need the .ffu file for your phone. Everything really seems the same just a lot more smooth and faster.
ok great. thanx for the reply
Are you using the AT&T version or a dual sim variant. I have been trying to flash on my At&t 640 xl with no luck at all.

I used a Lumia 640 LTE from T-Mobile. Its not a dual sim version but the rom is for a dual sim 640. It still works because both use the same software. The download above is not for the 640XL. Get the download link for the 640 XL above
I used windows phone image designer to flash the rom. Put the phone in ffu mode and your all set.
If you have further questions please ask
Any other links for the Lumia 640 Rom? I can not download from that site. Thanks.
anyone have a mirror for 640xl?
After i flashed my lumia 640 lte single sim I noticed the second sim icon. (makes sense cause I flashed the dual sim image)
But after flashing back to 8.1 with the original image the icon is still there.
any ideas why?
That's odd. Even after flashingg the dual sim ROM I never see the icon. When you plug your phone into WPRT does it still detect your phone as a dual sim variant?

No the phone is detected as single sim lte in the wprt.
I also tried installing the firmware again with wprt but the second icon is still there.

Could you upload a screenshot of your phones start screen? I'm not quite sure what icon you are referring too. There doesn't seem to be an icon on my phone.

NP Baked, the other files will be up soon...I had to use my internet for work during the day today.
Sooo, any idea what this 'blocking bug' is that Gabe Aul mentioned? Have you noticed any bugs at all?

No bugs I've noticed at all. Unless they were talking about a bug that blocks further build updates. I guess I'll find out when I try and update this build when the next insider build is released.

Try deploying this
fileshub.in/ut/nokia_mix_440419_wp8hub_.xap
If you are unable to deploy MixRadio or flash other country variant then
try :angel:
Flash your device using Windows device recovery tool.
Then see if you are still having the same problem.
Using Windows device recovery tool is very easy and 100% risk free.
