Hi,
Recently I bought a used S8 with a box, I have been enjoying the phone too much after moving from a laggy LG G6, according to the model number its a dual sim phone so I thought of checking the IMEI number, as its a dual sim phone it should have 2 different IMEI numbers but in this case it has only one IMEI on both IMEI 1 & 2. I want to know whether it is normal or whether the IMEI has tampered. Plus the model number written on the back is G950F whereas on the phone it shows G950FD.
Help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Boot to download mode and whatever it says there is what it is. My guess is it's a G950F with FD firmware
I have Dual Sim S8 and it have two different IMEI numbers.

Hi!
I bought an Note 3 N9005 and I noticed that the imei the phone displays it's different than the one on the back and on the box.
I have to select the network manually and it only works on EDGE when I'm on the web.
Could it b3 that the phone was sim locked and during the unlocking the imei was changed?
If so, what can I do?

All experts,
I would like to 'enable' on my S7 edge the dual SIM function. The 'international' card holder could care 2 Nano SIM card, but the G935F is supporting just one SIM.
It's possible to do this without root? It's possible to install the G935FD firmware or are there radio baseband modifications nesessary?
In addition, I need to run the Blackberry Works app (former Good). This app is not running on a rooted phone.
Thanks for any comment and help.

You can't.
Single sim variant have only 1 imei number but dual sim variant have 2 which are for each sim. You can't just add more imei to your phone and even if you can, it is illegal.
Also card holder of single sim variant cannot hold 2 sim cards, only 1 sim card+microsd.
G935fd and G935f firmwares also are identical. So you can flash it on your phone but it's not going to enable dual sim on single sim variant.

While don't you save yourself the strength and buy the dual sim version, because like the other guy above said, its impossible to use dual sim on a single sim. Backup your data, get the dual sim version and restore back.
Thanks for the first feedback.
- single SIM and dual SIM card holders are available at eBay etc. The HW of the two phone is 100% identical. A friend of mine converted his G935f to G935fd with the support of a Vietnamese service guy over TeamViewer. My problem is the root after this.
BTW: Buying a DUOS is not a problem, it cost just some money
Thanks for expert tips...

It IS possible to convert G930/5F to G930/5FD. Only you have to do is clone your IMEI as IMEI 2 using Z3x or other software and replace SIM + microSD tray to SIM + SIM/microSD or DIY
That's in theory, but I personally need assist in:
1. Downgrading to Nougat, because Z3x doesn't support (yet) the newest /efs to modify cert to add that IMEI 2 or at least I can't find new enough which supports Oreo
1.1 Need to factory reset!
2. Getting root
3. Adding IMEI 2
3.1. Need to factory reset!
4. Updating back to official Oreo without root, if possible. I'm perfectly fine with normal functions, don't need the root for anything. Only I need is second SIM. I believe that I need to flash official Nougat first over rooted Nougat and update it using FOTA to Oreo? If not, flashing Oreo by Odin.
I will very appreciate any help with confirming these steps (is it correct way?) and helping me to get needed files and stuff to do it.
All experts,
I have replace the motherboard of my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, dual sim variant (SM-G935FD) with that of single sim variant but a frequent prompt of sim card mode shift is happened, saying "the sim card mode is witched from dual sim to single sim mode, which requires a rest to factory setting and restart". Since there is only a restart option, I'm forced to hit it and restart frequently but not working yet. How can I fix this problem?
Thanks for any comment and help!
Yoseph
I also used z3x and it works flawlessly im on Oreo s7 edge exynos.

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
I have galaxy Edge S7 purchased from ebay. It shows Model no. as SM-G935F in Settings>About Phone.
But in Download Mode it shows sm-g935v . When i connect usb it shows verzion softwares.
But when i check IMEI no. on internet it corresponds to SM-G935A model .
Please tell me what is the actual model no of my phone.?? and what is right firmware to update it to android 7??
All of those are US variants (Snapdragon based), so you may never know the real answer (though I imagine the IMEI probably points to the original model number). The good news is, you don't really care unless the device is SIM locked and you need to unlock it, since all of the US versions physically identical.
