Hi all,
If you have more idea then me I appreciate the help.
I started from a career locked phone with this fw: ALE-L21C128B130
I unlocked the device officially getting a code from mobile provider.
I made a fastboot flash flash to ALE- L21C432B171.
After this it becames balongc50b311. After it I tried the vendor app to make it to the right version, but the update always failed.
Here I made a mistake, the goal was to make it dual sim, I flashed a wrong fw, L21C432B550 (I think this was), and now it is impossible to use fastboot, neither adb, it's in a bootloop and I tried a lot update app with the 3 button method, all of them failed. Tried the 2 button wipe as well it doesn't help.
I tried transit fws as well, but none of them can pass the bootloop.
I think I need a fw that can work with a this hanged flashed version.
Any idea to get it back?
I should get the picture how the fw-s connected together, which restoration I have to use for what and which transfer and something like this connected to which firmware. Maybe it can get back the phone.
Thank you.
you said your goal is to make dual sim, but you came from dual sim????? B130 is dual sim version, and c128 is Hungarian I think, maybe Telenor. you are actually installed single sim over dual sim and then again dual sim mm, it is no wonder that he is in bootloop. with so many guidelines in the forum Try to return b130 DUAL SIM http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/07/download-huawei-p8-lite-b130-stock-lollipop-firmware-magyar-telecom/#more-3517
do not forget:
even numbers dual sim
odd numbers single sim
Hi, at the beginning I've been on single sim, not dual sim.
Correct, telenor. On the link it is telekom, does it matter or just use a 130 one?
What's your first version?

This was the original one: ALE-L21C128B130
B130 is a Dual Sim version, and prefix c128 means branded to Hungarian Telenor network, Try with link I gave you, and report back. dowonload speed is very slow so maybe U can find on some other server, just be sure it is C432B130
Ok, I try the suggested one:
ALE-L21HUNC150B130

No luck
Can I do anything with the TWRP app or nothing?
Current situation:
When I press power button and up it can go to the menu.
When attach the phone to the computer my computer sees a drive but couldn't open it and couldn't recognized by hisuite or anything.
I'll bring it to the service, it's end
When I get a new one I'll try to make it dualsim again
I'll get the same model, so what should be the steps to make it dualsim?
Ok so you were at telenor branded (c128) but you tried flashing European (c432) version firmwares. Just by unlocking your carrier, will yoube able to do that? I guess you first need to change your region to c432 (unless after unlocking your carrier sets you to c432, afterall Hungary is in Europe). But if it doesn't, then you must change your oeminfo first.
Here's the link to the tutorial
just be sure it is C432B130

Could you explain me why it is so hard to understand. Use C432B130 as explained, and you flashed C150B130 and still think why it doesn't work

Why? Because it's not possible to download from anywhere the C432B130 version fw.

Oh, then it was my bad. And i didn't meant to be mean.
I boughtta Huawei P10 Lite. It's the WAS LX1 model. It was bought from a vendor who has blocked the use of a single SIM card.
From the specs I've found this model support Dual SIM, has a slot available, but the software does not recognize second SIM.
It is possible to unlock this feature to use the phone in Dual SIM?
I think blocking second SIM was made by the vendor through software.
Best regards,
Hey according to the official huwaei website both WAS-LX1A and WAS-LX1 support dual sim.
It's possible to enable the second sim but I don't know how, maybe custom roms

The phone is most likely carrier locked, there is no reason to issue special software to block the use of a second SIM card for a phone sold for dual SIM use (and sounds like something you could sue the company for).
Are you trying to insert SIM cards from 2 different carriers? Ask your carrier if your phone is carrier locked and if they are willing to unlock it and report back.
hi,
i am working on it, firstly i rooted the phone with twrp and this is working, but still i dont see the settings for dual sim.
Can anybody help with that ?

try this go to /hw_oem/prop/local.prop
look for ro.dual.sim.phone=false change it to true and reboot
It won't work, you will have to find a OEMInfo TWRP partition from a dual sim P1 0 lite, or use this alternative : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72523572&postcount=4

I guess the needed informations, probably the 2 IMEIs from the backuped partition...
I guess it will replace your original single IMEI...

i changed it to:
persist.sys.dualcards=true
after that it has changed also in /hw_oem/prop/local.prop
but after reboot still single sim.

i got some backup from TWRP back (restore) and the phone swich on to EMUI with some funcktional and app bugs.
so it is working but something is still messed up.
could somebody give me full TWRP backup with system and so on that i can restore whole phone? will it work like this?
other option is to dowload firmware but the instalation stops on 5% and as always fail.
so if this could be an option plese can somebody make fresh pure copy of all partitions from WAS Lx1A and upload it.
i tryied one from forum but this is not working for me.

I read this post some days ago, when i bought the same device with the same kind of sim "lock".
I contacted the huawei support, asking if it was possible to have the complete firmware because it is not fair buying it expecting it to be dual sim.. and it is not.
Their answer, where in a previous mail they told me that p10 lite german version is not dual sim:
Dear Customer,
thank you for your reply.
Sadly your device is a single-SIM device.
All the devices have the same second hybrid slot for 1 memory-card and 1 SIM-card anyway. But the needed hardware parts are missing. So it is not possible to get this DUAL-SIM feature with an other firmware.
Hopefully this inforamtions are what you've been searching for.
For further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Best regards,

Some dual sim phones are not mean't to sold in some countries, if you need a dual sim phone, make sure it has been stated before you buy it, buying a single sim phone and expecting it suport dual sim is not the right way to go. Countries like korea and Japan, although there are more countries, they never sell dual sim phones, as these countries only sells phones through carriers, so phones are normally locked, and does not support dual carrier network.
China has the biggest market for dual sim phones, and Hong Kong has only started selling dual sim phones in the past few years, as many people from Hong Kong are buy dual sim phones from china, probably don't want to lose out on business, so most mid to high end phones and many low end phones now support dual sim.

On their website, t-mobile, there was nothing about it being single or dual sim. I found the specs both at Huawei website and gsmarena.
This last one, writes:
SIM Single SIM (Nano-SIM) or Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by)
But the Huawei website's got plenty of p10 lite, each with both single and dual sim for each product code.
Mine is a WAX-LX1 and is both single and dual.
I did read nothing on t-mobile website, about it working on single or dual sim, you know.. like those T&C where you'd read it ..
I supposed it was dual. Because it is nice to have more than less.
It is not. It is single.
But the funny thing is that I'm not really interested at this, because I own a Zenfone too and this is dual sim (now using as an iPod, android version eheheh).
Still.. If someone managed to "hack" it with another firmware, that would be great!
But, Huawei wrote there are hardware part missing.
I don't really believe it.. And I'm not even skilled to try and flash firmware.
If someone, someday, manages to have the second sim working, I'd love to follow the process and having it unlocked as well. Else, nevermind..

Is this T mobile in the US, I think the US is not know to have many dual sim phones, especial from the main brands like Samsung, Sony, LG and Hauwei, and if they are not stated dual sim, it's usually a single sim version, or refer to the model number.
I think reading somewhere, someone has done it with the P10, but haven't heard about the P10 Lite.

Germany, or better, Austria. Since there isn't a website for Huawei Austria, and the customer support is the one for Germany.
...At least it is not sim-lock! But I still believe it is firmware-related. I don't think they intentionally removed hardware. It would cost more to produce lots of the same phones with different hardware than flashing them with different firmware.
We're here, simply waiting for the guy with a unlocked P10 Lite dual sim working, who can share its backup..
If the concept is similar as for P9 lite, you guys just need to read oeminfo using Twrp from some dual.sim verzion of device, then make flashable zip file and flesh it throu Twrp. After fleshing the firmware is corupted and just need full stock firmware recovery with compatible version of vendor using dload method. But converting single sim into dual sim in Nougat is more difucult then on MM. On P9 lite we only success to convert it using MM. After upgrading on N its dificilts but not imposible. Just find oeminfo share it and make a try. After unlocking dual sim option the phone still has one Imei but two open sim slots, and its normal. All the best!
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
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/kangvip-rom-emui-8-0-p-smart-enjoy-7s-t3775920
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...

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
