Flashing stock firmware requires Odin ( PC app ).
As for errors flashing firmware it's a bit hard to say, have to take it case by case, but in general terms it's usually user error. In general flashing stock firmware shouldn't touch the protected area which holds the IMEI information.

Oh I see, is there a way I can turn my G955F into a dual sim? I've seen this done on the G955N, from hardware the G955F is the same as the FD and its only the firmware stopping it from working, I get a signal when a sim is in the 2nd slot but because the phone only have 1 IMEI it doesn't work, the FD has a sim manager which is on the F but not usable.

I have only very briefly looked at converting single sim to dual sim but haven't really gone into it so I probably won't be of much help. Biggest problem will be injecting a second IMEI slot to you phone to accept the second sim card. The firmware is the same but requires the second IMEI slot to get dual sim capabilities.

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

Oh, then it was my bad. And i didn't meant to be mean.
Hello guys. This is my first Samsung device. It's network locked here in the Philippines and I flashed UK firmware to get Nougat update. Since thre is an official update available now in our country, I flashed the firmware downloaded from sammobile with CSC SMA (philippines Smart). The problem is, SIM 2 is not working for a different SIM card (ex. Globe). Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Before only SIM 1 is Network locked and SIM 2 is openline. Now they are both Network locked.

As far as I know, Dual SIM phone has issues when trying to unlock the phone. they are problematic and sometimes they refuse to work. I recommend you take it to Samsung assistance, maybe they can do something with your firmware and make the phone work again.
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.

Hello fellow S8 users,
I've recently purchased a Samsung S8 SM-G950FD from eBay as I wanted the Dual SIM capability. Version image attached, I'm not entirely sure where it's from.
Unfortunately the Samsung Pay version on the phone is in Chinese as are the promotion, images attached.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to get the Australian version on Samsung Pay on this phone?
Can I just update the ROM to an Australian version? If so, would I end up losing the Dual SIM capability?
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Any suggestions?

Your Australia cards should work as Australia already have support for Samsung Pay. I have setup few of my Indian cards with Australian version phone. I guess you need to bear with the Chinese though. Updating XSA room will definitely disable the Dual sim option and I am not sure 950FD support 950F.

Yeh the Samsung Pay Application doesn't like my American Express Card....
It states that Amex is not supported in my country, but in fact it's working on my Samsung S6, and my Gear 3.
So you think changing the firmware to AU I would lose the Dual SIM capabilities?
It might just be easier to try and get the Samsung Pay and Samsung Pay Framework from AU ROM and extract it to mine maybe?
If it's anything like the S7, you should be fine putting the Australian firmware on it. I got an S7 edge from the UAE and had to flash German firmware and the T-Mobile CSC to it for spay to finally work. It'll be trail and error, but the multi sim function never went away for me.
Since almost all the international S8/S8+s are on the multi CSC ROM, all you need to do is reset your phone (preferably from the recovery menu) and put in the Oz SIM and reboot. All the regional features are activated, and you get Oz SPAY.
Using that method, I am currently using the India SPAY on an Afghanistan S8+ (Dual sim) and Taiwanese S8 and both work with all cards.

I've actually tried to restore to factory setting 6+ times with an assortment of sim cards from Vodafone, Optus, Telstra, Macquarie (Telstra variant), samsung pay keeps loading up as Taiwanese version (Chinese)...
I've recently asked a friend to extract his Samsung Pay & Framework.apk, it still loads Taiwan Samsung pay.
I think it's region locked?
I'm going to try and restore to XSA Firmware, apparently this worked for the S7 guys, whilst retaining Dual Sim functions.

Did you try to factory reset from recovery? Vol up + Bixby + power, wait for few seconds it goes into recovery. Put the regional SIM in, then reboot. It will reboot twice and activate SIM specific features (prominently tells you that it's doing so).
Also please post a screenshot of the Settings->Software information screen (Service provide SW ver. is 2nd last row) both before and after you complete the process.
Someone recommended me this solution after I had a similar problem with my UAE S8 and flashing other country firmware no longer works without supporting SIM card. Download Samsung Pay version 2.7.03 and try that.

Means that it doesn't matter which firmware you flash if you don't have the country's sim card because s8 will default back to factory CSC. Only way to change CSC without root is to flash with the supporting sim card installed.

Has anyone here got the Australian Samsung Pay app onto the Taiwanese dual-sim model? I purchased an S8+ at $799 (compared to the RRP of $1349) but I don't want to factory reset if I don't have to.
Anyone got spay working? Pkease share what firmware version are you using.
Hi,
My apologies if this is an obvious question but I'm a new Galaxy S8 user and I've gone through these forums extensively before giving up and making this post
I had someone bring along a Samsung Galaxy S8 from the US to India, and it seems to be working like charm. They ordered it online and picked up the unlocked international variant (SM-G950F)
In the Service Provider Software I see 'INS/INS/TPA'. I assume INS/INS was set because I popped in an Indian sim. TPA seems to be Panama?
Now I check my software updates and I'm stuck on the May Security Patch and there really aren't any updates for this firmware.
I want to switch to an Indian firmware but on updato and sammobile, only the SM-950FD is available for India as only the dual sim variant is sold in India
I want to flash a firmware with the latest update and also receive future OTA updates but I'm not sure which firmware to flash.
Is there no solution for me?
i can tell you only this: had bought a Dual Sim S8 in Germany, the phone was originaly from Egypt. (DBT/DBT/EGY), and received OTA's.
*but the battery life was horible

Install Phone info app from google play and open the app it will show you all hardware and software information of your phone. See the CSC code and find your software according to your region.
You can flash FD firmware, it is the same.
You have dual sim model G950FD or single sim G950F
check hardware to remove sim and card socket and see the card socket is hybrid or not.

It doesn't matter what FW you install, you can never change it to INS as TPA is hardwired to your phone.
It should change to INS/INS/TPA. People commenting should understand that F/FD doesn't matter, as the software is the same. It's discussed here MANY times.
EDIT: last csc being TPA doesn't matter

Please check your back panel of your phone. The model no. Is written over there. If you want to update your phone to latest firmware its so easy. Find your model no. Is F/ FD download any firmware of any region you like and flash through Odin. Flash all 4 files with home csc.
I think your main issue is latest firmware not csc because your phone is Sim unlocked. You can use any sim card of any country in your phone.
