I am gonna upgrade my device soon and I've decided on the G4 as my next device. Where I live the international variants are available i.e 815 (single sim) and the 818 (dual sim). Now the dual sim variant better fits my needs but being a power user I can help feel that I would miss out on a lot of custom ROM's, Kernels, ans Mods since the single sim model (815) is more widely available throughout the world and thus more development for that variant.
I read somewhere that the only difference between the models is the modem?
If that's true would I be able to flash the ROMs, Kernel and mods for the 815 (Single sim) variant on the 818 (Dual Sim variant)?
Any and all suggestion are welcome
It will be January 2016 by the time you will be able to flash roms on this device so better look elsewhere if flashing roms is important to you.

We are on the same boat. I am about to buy a second hand LG G4, and on my area there is both a single and a dual device with the same price tag being offered. But I've been doing some researches here on XDA and it definitely seems that the single sim device has better developer support.
I know US models are single SIM. But I have also read that all the differentiation between US and non-US models is at firmware/bootloader level and that the hardware is the same across all variants (single FCCID for all variants).
Could it mean that if the bootloader gets unlocked then US variant phones can have dual sim (using the correct SIM tray of course)?
*how i can using dual SIM in g930p*
plz help me ....
i tray that in g935fd and Successfully.
Why is the LG V20 H990 constantly referred to as being dual sim when it clearly is not, I have one and this confusion with dual sim capabilities is making me worried as to whether or not I can root it with DirtySanta and also have a working backup plan if the rooting does not go to plan.
Good day guys and gals. I recently got the Huawei P smart (FIG-LX1C16) but it does not support dual sim. Now I want to fin out if I flash the (FIG-LX1C33) firmware will it work and does the C33 model support dual sim.

Maybe you can flash this ROM to allow dual sim

UPDATE: this rom doesn't rebrand, so it doesn't allow dual sim....
Did you get this sorted i aint got option for dual sim even though it has slot
Rebranded with exit: highly recommended, nice attention and resolution. The few bucks spent are worthy due to the nice job done. Rebranded from C02 (Votafone mono sim) to C432 (european dual sim) in http://ministryofsolutions.com/2018/...-dual-sim.html
Rebranding is done by remote control with nice and easy instructions
Does anyone know how to do this for free?
I also have single SIM variant of FIG-LX1 (C02?). Is it possible to change it to dual SIM? If yes, from where does it get the second IMEI?

It doesn't give a second IMEI, I had a p9 lite and changed it to a dual SIM from a UK single SIM version.
Both sims worked with 1 IMEI somehow.
(2nd sim was 2g only)

I see...It seems to provide second IMEI as zeroes, but that can be changed too.
I suppose we can use the same steps as listed here, if we get proper OEMInfo from C432 model and C432 firmware...

EDIT:
I found oeminfo here:

Did anybody successfully rebranded the phone already to unlock dual-SIM?
I also have a Huawei PSmart fig-lx1 running oreo 8.0.0. Its only allows for single sim while it has a slot for dual micro sims. how do I get the second sim working. What do I need to do for it to work.
We all in the same situation. I've been trying the whole day to unlock the second sim. And i cant find a solution.
Anyone ?

Bumping this since I've just got one of these phones (Huawei P Smart 2018) and dual sim option isn't available.
From searching around it seems like you need to change the region (via paid service?) and then re-flash with a suitable firmware, but I'm along way from knowing exactly what all that entails.
Any input appreciated, thanks.
I've been scouring forums and google and here's some vague notes about what I think might need done:
1. Unlock bootloader. Requires code. Huawei used to supply this for free. Apparently they have been known to give it out via contact page. I've requested it, so we'll see. If not, dc-unlocker is a paid service which might be able to do this.
2. Install TWRP
3. Change phone region to C432 by flashing the correct oeminfo. I think this might also have to be a dual sim version.
4. Flash a C432 image.
HuRUpdater might be involved somewhere.
This post is for the P20 Lite but might also be useful for switching oeminfo: [Guide] Switching OEMINFO versions
