LG G6 - Locked Carrier with Android 9 - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Hi ! Friends
As the IMEI suggests:
IMEI.info: TAC: 356145 FAC: 08 SNR: 436633 CD: 8
I installed the version "H870DS30a_00_OPEN_HK_DS_OP_0920.kdz"
But I cannot pick up any network even by changing SIM card and operator. Under Android 8, I did not have the "dual SIM" function operational, nor the Quad DAC (normal because it is a 32GB version which does not have it), but the phone worked perfectly. I don’t understand what’s going on.
This 32GB version seems "weird" to me, it has both H870 and H870DS characteristics.
The Dual SIM function apparently works well (for each card inserted, it asks me for the PIN code), activating the Quad DAC causes a Bug, this is normal because this model does not have it, so why the Soft offers it?
I summarize :
Under Android 8 it behaves like an H870, under Android 9 like an H870DS but with blocked carriers. . .
I would like to point out that I am in France, and that this is a Hong Kong model, but under Android 8, it worked perfectly. . .
I want to go back to the Android 8 version, but I can't remember which version there was.
Which one should I take?
Thank you !

Umm, the EU model does have capacitive buttons. Not sure where you've got your info from
I'd recommend the US version of the phone purely because of the support from ZTE to that market. The additional features on the 6GB china version like force touch doesn't justify the trouble you may face from a software perspective. Go with the US version if you can.
My bad
checked amazon germany it has Capacitive button
Thanks for your suggestion
but us model doesnt support b40 lte band
this is the only thing backing be from buying this model
else this thread wouldnt have appeared
in 2017G ,stock rom of 2017u can be flashed?
I suppose you can flash the ROMs interchangeably but I've read that some had some functionalities missing . You can follow @DrakenFX ROM thread which has all the info you need. Considering the EU variant doesn't have an unlocked boot loader yet, flashing ROMs isn't the straightforward solution, let alone flashing a ROM not meant for that variant.
On a side note, the EU one albiet costly, has a 3 year warranty. Of course you and me, cant avail that anyway.
The US is suppose to get the 6GB model in the 4th quarter I think.

[Question] Unlock Huawei P10 Lite, dual SIM

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,

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...

persist.sys.dualcards=false
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!

LG H870S

Hello everybody,
I recently bought LG H870S, dual sim version, 32 GB of internal storage, same specs as H870...
Question I have about it is will it get regular updates as European version does (in the same time) and can it be rooted ? If yes, can I install custom roms made for H870, since everything is same except this one has 2 sim cards..
Thanks a lot.
1. No
2. No
3. No, because of 2.
Sorry for bad news.
Why does the network strength indicator on the H870 version look like older LG phones (dashes)? And the network strength indicator on my H870S look the same as Nexus / Pixel smartphones (link). Interesting

LG V35+ Android pie

(ROM)
Hi
I am from Brazil and I bought a smartphone LG V35 + (LMV350EAW) I wanted to use the unlocked American ROM (ULM), could I have problems trying to run the installation? Because the V35 + has 128GB dual sim and the American version is 64GB single yes, I do not care about the second SIM slot, just wanted to be able to use android pie, because LG Brazil does not like to upgrade the devices apparently.
Can someone give me this statement if I would have problems or not?

Interesting. I seriously thought that 128GB V35 Brazil variant was just internet rumors. I can't find anyone selling it on eBay or Amazon or anywhere else.
Yes, you should be able to flash with Dev Patched LGUP and it will work fine. People have flashed U.S. to Korean Pie before U.S. Pie was available -- and then flashed to U.S. Pie. So Brazil should work the same.

Oneplus 8 Pro Dual SIM

Since the EU version of the OnePlus seems to work with Dual SIM.
Can we flash the US version with the EU OxygenOS and be able to get Dual SIM working in the US?

Actually, this is what I did. Using US Version (Model: IN2025) and then was flashing with the EU Oxygen OS Version 10.5.4. After the flash, the update to Oxygen OS 10.5.6.IN11BA automatically was retrieved and installed.
Two things are surprising to me:
- I was expecting that after 10.5.6 upgrade, dual SIM should work, when limiting the network to 2G/3G/4G. However it still shows that the dual-sim function is not working.
- I thought that flashing the US device with EU, would also change the model from IN2025.
What am I missing here?
Thanks & Best.
dont think it works like that
you risk bricking it by cross flashing firmware

I was using this post -- and no issues. :angel:
OnePlus chat support told me that only configuration and software is different between the regional devices, hardware is all the same.
However it also didn't solve what I wanted to achieve - dual-SIM and (at best) also European bands - like n78 ... :crying:
