Hi,
I've just got a Huawei P8 Lite with the ALE-L21C432B183 build.
Is there any way to enable the dual SIM functionality?
Thanks.
I made a guide for that - http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/guide-debranding-converting-single-sim-t3305977
Thanks for replying.
I found this thread and follow its steps : http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/huawei-p8-lite-android-6-0-marshmallow-t3309796
I've got it now working. For step #4 did an OTA update.
BTW is there any risk of future OTA updates removing the dual SIM support?
I don't think so. P8 lite specs indicate that it should support dual SIM. If they remove it, that'll be false advertising
Not sure if this has been asked before, but I didn't find anything. I just purchased the XT1681 dual SIM version of this phone. First question, is it compatible with all the potter roms? Second question, will I lose the dual SIM function?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The builds for EU/US will work well for dual SIM devices. Only India has a different build (the latest one ends on 92 for India and 93 for EU/US). I have the european version with dual SIM (so I can't speak for the indian firmware) and flashed POTTER_NPNS25.137-33-11_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip without any problems. Also later builds should work.

I have the same model of you and i have flashed successful all of the roms here, now im on resurrection remix 6.0.
All roms have Dual Sim function so don't worry about it!
Remember if you flash custom Oreo roms don't get back to stock or you will lose VoLTE.
Take full twrp backup(oem, efs etc.) and keep it safe.
If you have any question you can send private message im from mexico too.
Android 8.0 Oreo started rolling out on the LG V20 at the end of July. I own the international version of the phone, the LG V20 H990DS. When I check for an OS Update it says that there's no Update available.
Why is that? Am I the only owner of the H990DS version experiencing this? Could it have to do with the fact that I imported it because it's not being sold by retail in my country?
Thanks in advace.

Ok, thanks.
Do you or does anybody have an idea, when it's expected to be released for everyone?
(I know that there are other threads, but they are not really up-to-date with the most recent post on the topic I found being from March)
Thanks in advace.
Mid august or september was the mentioned dates in previouse posts.
I asked the LG online chat about the H990DS updates....
Here is the transcript from LG chat on the question:
Time of chat: 8/15/2018 3:01:28 PM
Length of chat: 00:07:16
Your name: Dax
Chatted with: Micel
3:01 PM Micel: Hello, Dax. Please allow me a moment while I review your question...
3:01 PM Micel: I will be more than happy to assist you with your concern.
3:02 PM Dax: Great
3:02 PM Micel: Yes, there is an update that will be rolled out to LG V20.
3:02 PM Micel: However, we do not have any specific time when the update will be rolled out.
3:03 PM Dax: Is this going to be a security update, or a version update?
3:03 PM Micel: It is a software version that will be for bugs and fixes.
3:03 PM Dax: So not Android 8.0, just an update to 7.0?
3:04 PM Micel: The update that will be rolled out is an Oreo version which is Android 8.0.
3:04 PM Dax: Great, really good to hear!
3:05 PM Micel: No worries.
3:05 PM Micel: Is there anything else that I can assist you with today?
3:06 PM Dax: So, although you dont have a specific time - are you able to at least say within a week, within a month, this year?
3:06 PM Micel: Sorry but I do not have any idea about the timeframe.
3:06 PM Dax: ok thanks.
3:06 PM Micel: I'm afraid that if I will give a timeframe, this is misinformation.
3:06 PM Micel: Is there anything else that I can assist you with today?
3:07 PM Dax: Is there any information on how much longer this device will be supported for?
3:07 PM Micel: No, there is none.
3:07 PM Dax: ok, thats all. Thanks for your time.
3:08 PM Micel: You're very much welcome. I hope this has been of some assistance Dax.
3:08 PM Micel: Thank you for visiting LG Australia New Zealand Live Chat Support. Have a wonderful day.
Is there any news? There will be update for any H990DS version? I have TWN, but i read that roms for other countries can be flashed.
From what I have seen on forums etc it looks like it'll start rolling out from Sept 7. But only LG knows really, and they aren't telling. I have the exact same model, and yes you can install different regions ROMs but I find they don't always work the same. I tried a different version and had better battery life/signal, but Google assistant didn't work well and I had volume issues so went back to the version my phone came with.
LG mobile must be the most transparent company when it comes to informing there user base of updates:good:

LG open-source website listed the kernel source code for H990 model... Which is identical to H990DS, H990N, H990N etc... Elsa model...
Earlier it was listed only for Korean F800 series..
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=H990
So we should be able get oreo in September for sure...
Now it's up to LG what best features they would include in it... My only concern in this phone is the battery backup....
Let's hope so....
Jesus, they still haven't updated this phone?? Glad I sold it, 1st mobile to ship with Nougat and then an awful track record in updates. They need to get their act together. Nice audio quality, shame about after support
V20 H990ds oreo update
Hello Everyone
I have same version in india and still not getting the update of oreo. Lg needs to do something for customers for update the software frequent.
my wife h p10 lite has 8.0 plus updates now to august 18 .. my lofty is still on 7 and nov 17 ... is there a moral there somewhere ... ??
No updates for my H990DS since November 2017... My second phone is a Huawei P20 (not the Pro) since three months and I have already received THREE security updates and one to push the power for players. What a difference, Huawei is now number two in worldwide sales. But I love my LG too, great camera etc.!

VS995 got its oreo treatment yesterday
According to an article from androidpolice,
Verizon specific model of V20 (VS995) got its oreo yesterday.
Are we up next? or gotta wait in line behind
LS997 (t-mobile)
US996 (US cellular)
H990T (Mexico)?
Like many others here, V20 will be the last LG mobile device for me.
This will be my last Lg. It's sad, because it's a great device.
I have the USA version of the V20 on Verizon Wireless and got the Oreo update late last night.
It seems smoother ... but had to reset a lot of my custom Apps and settings ... I'm liking it!
F**king LG!
I have the Indian H990ds, and it's still on the security update from April 2017.
I wouldn't hold your breath, the H990DS isn't even on the list for the source code release for Oreo, if it shows up there I'm guessing it'll be at least a month before it starts rolling out.

Hi all,
Thought I'd share my little experience with my XZP. Recently purchased a XZP Dual Sim G8142 that had a generic asian region firmware.
Being that I live in Australia, I wanted VoLTE and Wifi calling enabled. Soo I set out to learn as much as I could to see if there was any possibility in flashing a G8142 into a G8141 AU Firmware. To my surprise, there wasn't much info.
Soo I decided to take a leap of faith anyways. Using Xperifirm I got the Custom AU Firmware for the G8141 and using Newflasher I can report back that I have successfully Converted my G8142 (Dual Sim) to a G8141 (Single Sim).
I have been testing all sensors which are operating as per normal. I now have VoLTE and WiFi calling enabled. I haven't any bugs or glitches yet, besides Xperia Companion not being able to do a Software repair, as it still comes up with an error of: "UEGetPhoneInfoMissingInfo G8142 3570 1308-6997 R3B"
I didn't flash any of the .ta files that came with the AU Firmware cause I didn't wanna loose any DRM keys.
But just for others to know, It works.

Hello, my phone is single SiM G8141 Europe. The Rom China M-Rom works perfectly on my phone, but it is annoying that sim1 appears in all sections.
Could you please, share the way you activate VolTE?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late reply.
I follow the guide of using Newflasher on the forms and used xperifirm to download my countries firmware, in my case, AU generic as I'm from Australia.
Dude it in few steps and the phones been working per normal since. I have VolTE and wifi calling enabled by default in the firmware.
best of luck!
