Maybe a N00B question but is it possible to enable dual SIM functionality on the G5 Plus US version by changing firmware?

It's a hardware, if the US version supports only single SIM then you can't flash another firmware from a dual SIM variant to get the functionality.
If your device has just one SIM slot, then you can't add another just like that. But then again, there's also a possibility to swap the SIM card reader module from a dual SIM variant to the single SIM one but there may be some downsides to it like the size difference of the modules, possibility of a slightly different connector and what not. I haven't tried this but it may or may not work.

Hey Guys,
I bought the Moto X Force in India. According to "About Phone", it says it's the EU version.
It has the slot of SIM2 and it even has the contacts. I put a fresh SIM into the SIM2 slot and it came out all scratched up. So, I'm sure it even has the contacts.
By putting these settings in build.prop
ro.gsm.data_retry_config=default_randomization=2000,max_retries=infinite,1000,1000,80000,125000,485000,905000
persist.radio.plmn_name_cmp=1
persist.radio.force_get_pref=1
persist.radio.multisim.config=dsds
It enabled the Dual SIM mode in android but it couldn't detect it. Still says no SIM. My guess is, it might have to do with the modem.
I was thinking if someone can post the modem dump from the Mexican or Brazilian version and if I can flash it, maybe it can work.
Of course, it might be a stupid idea. Let me know what you guys think. Is this worth trying?
Regards,
Suhas
If it has a second SIM slot, it will need a second imei number

For older models like X play. You can still use it for data. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68994968&postcount=57
Currently, the IMEI 2 is 0.
@suhas93 Did it work finally ? I was thinking of flashing modem from mexican version or XT1581.
As the title says, can you flash the single sim version of S8/S8+ with dual sims version?
Are there any differences in hardware?
The firmware the duos model uses is the same as the single SIM model. The firmware detects the extra hardware can installs SIM manager.

You can't enable dual SIM on a single SIM model because it's missing hardware for the second sim

The 2nd imei is missing.
Hello.
Its not possible do to this, because today i try to make this and the firmware detects only the micro SD and one SIM card.
But the dual version SIM i think its possible do detect 2 card sim and micro SD.
Sorry for my english...i am portuguese and some times i dont remember some words.
Yes Its work make Single convert to Dual Sim.
BUT you cant use Sim 2 , they have no Number (000000000000000/07) its invalid.
only FD version have Sim 1&2 IMEI
So its possible to flash the duos firmware, but because there's no second IMEI it wouldn't work?
And if you purchased a hybrid dual sim tray, (which are readily availible) you would still have the 0000000........... for the second sim Correct?? And if you had a spare IMEI for the second sim, then how would you make the second IMEI work? Is there a IMEI flasher program for samsung phones??
I know there's one for MTK devices, so where's the sammy software program??
Surely this must be able to be done. If the mate 10 pro can be converted, the why not the s8 or even the s9/s9+??
Following.
Ok so what I understand and could be wrong. Is the hardware is there to read either if you look at the hybrid trays they are setup to read either 2 sims and no sd card or 1 SIM 1 sd.
So bassicly it comes down. To if that is true. For all models.
I have seen settings with 0000 imei for SIM card 2. But the option is there so what ever needs to be done in that case can be done. But of coarse I'm not getting Into imei options on s8. But they are possible. So it could be possible.
So bassicly some one needs to order the hybrid sim tray. Get the aluminum ones. But then try so see in hidden menues in settings and such see if detection of second sim is even possible.
So to test the one who does it at worst out a couple bucks for a tray. Of coarse check hidden menus.
First before flashing firmwares. Th3n after all that. Easily slide the tray in just for caution. No jamming as not to possibly damage anything.
IMEI Guru LLC Service tool can write a second IMEI directly to the system.
Dear All,
can LG G6 convert to dual sim like s7/s7 edge? I cannot find the answer.
can we upgrade firmware or do something?
AFAIK that's down to the hardware, sorry. You would need another sim slot, requiring a specific dual sim model.
What do you mean by converting to Dual SIM?
As per specs review (https://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g6-8466.php), the G6 has both a Single SIM and Hybrid-Dual SIM. This means that your phone either supports two Sim or it doesn't.
If you don't know if your phone support two sims, dial *#06# and if it shows one IMEI, the phone is Single SIM. If it sows 2 IMEIs it's a dual SIM

Hardware, pretty sure can't be done
Why Sumsung S7/S7 edge can convert, and G6 cannot
do u have any idea?
Any idea for what? It can't be done because of different hardware.
H870x = single SIM, H870DS = dual SIM.

Idea for Flash firmware or change hardware
Of course you can buy a new h870ds logic board if you find any.
Firmware change only doesn't work.

not working sir
Hello, I wanted to use dual sim and MicroSD at the same time, so I bought a device like this, and it didn't work. So I tested my working sim with the second slot and it couldn't be detected! On Android Pie here, with W350AWM20d: can somebody check if their second sim slot works with android Pie? Thanks.

Do you have a dual SIM variant of the V35? Otherwise the 2nd slot is microSD only.
I'm not aware of any dual SIM card V35, except possibly the Brazilian version? I don't know much about that variant. If anyone knows of any dual SIM V35, I'm curious.

I have a dual sim variant and I tested Korean, US Amazon, and US Google Fi Pie kdz versions and all of them don't use the second sim of the hybrid sim slot: Logcat shows something like 'MaxSim 1'.

What is original variant model number of the V35 you have? The one you say is built for dual SIM card? Why don't you stay on that firmware then, if dual SIM card is intended and works for that variant?
If you flash other non-dual SIM variant V35 firmware (like Amazon, Google Fi), the 2nd slot is going to be microSD only as those are NOT dual SIM card V35.

I have LMV350AWM, so I think that's AT&T. Oops, it does have a slot for the second SIM, so I thought it supports dual SIM. Looking at LG v35 specs online, it does seem to show that US variants don't have dual SIM. I guess I made a mistake there.
So, anybody know of a good working external Bluetooth SIM adapter for Android?
Hey good day all, i have a question. Can i flash my S10 Plus SM-G975U1 and enable Dual Sim. I allready bought a Dual Sim Tray for the phone. Please let me know if this is possible.
If it's a single sim phone then NO
Converting a single sim to a dual sim is a bit more complicated then flashing firmware.
+ single/dual sim firmware are the same firmware.
