Second Sim Icon on Single Sim Variant (Lumia 640 XL) - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed the leaked copy of Windows 10 Mobile 10240 onto my Lumia 640 XL not realizing it was a dual sim rom. As I had got a copy of a original windows phone 8 .ffu I thought I'll just flash back to that. However when doing so I am stuck with the second sim icon still. I've even downloaded another single sim .ffu and flashed but phone still thinks it's a dual sim phone. Any ideas?
Thanks

Is there a way of doing this without interop?

Corrupted SIM on flash

Every time I flash a new ROM, the SIM is corrupted and I can't connect to AT&T.
SIM card was out before and during flash.
USB disconnected during flash.
The APN Settings are fine.
I even put a good, working SIM card (from another phone) in the device and I got service. I also put the bad SIM in the other phone and it ALSO got no service.
The APN settings are equal on both phones.
I had to go to AT&T and get a new SIM activated. I do not want to do this every time I flash a new ROM.

Bad luck. There is no way your phone picks and chooses what sim card to mess up after flashing (you said it corrupted your sim card, but not another one you tried?), and if it does you need to find a new phone

It did this on two different phones with two different roms (Darky 8 and Pheonix 2.5).

This is just highly unlikely, especially if you did everything you claimed to do (removing the sim card, unplugged during flashing, etc)

Please help - Lumia 640 Dual LTE does not accept SIM card after flash

I tried to flash Lumia 640 Dual TORM-1113 - 059X1B3 - APAC HK with TMO-US ROM (059X0P7) and then back with its ROM but it is now always showing Flight mode and displaying NO SIM in mobile + SIM in Settings (only show 1 SIM).
Is it gone or is there any way to recover/fix it?
Thanks!
Update: I took it to MS Store and they took me about an hour but could not fix it. I took it back home, flash one or two ROMs just for learning and the phone worked again. Not sure what's happened.
Hope everyone is more careful when flashing ROM.

P8 lite single sim to duel sim ?

Hi Guys,
I have a United Kingdom P8 lite which is currently single sim enabled so I want to flash the ROM so it enables duel sim.
So far I am not having much luck, this is what I have done so far .....
I have downloaded the latest software packaged from Huawei build number ALE-L21C432B564, I put the Dload folder with the UPDATE.APP on to an SD card, and followed the normal upgrade procedure by entering
*#*#2846579#*#* and then initiating the upgrade.
When the phone reboots and starts the upgrading process I get this error "Software install failed! and get help from http.emui.com/emotiondownload.php" Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong ?
The phone is currently running software ALE-L21C432B585
Many thanks
Mark

If you want to convert to dual sim rom to use the second sim so don't waste your time it will never work since single sim phones only have 1 IMEI

If you have only 1 IMEI you can't use 2 sim cards at the same time and I already tried it, only 1 worked with me

Then you probably made a mistake. No matter of single SIM or dual SIM, the device is the same. The Hardware is the same. It's only the software. I heard of devices with Single SIM but after converting 2 IMEIs. You maybe missed something.

Hardware is the same you are right but the IMEI is only 1 and after converting to dual SIM i had IMEI 2 but actually IMEI 1 and IMEI 2 are the same without any different. If you know anyone that converted to dual SIM and got 2 different IMEIs ask him how he did it because the way here don't give you 2 different IMEIs

If you have a 2nd slot for the sim, try that. Or get a news SIM - that one may be bad. It happens

4G is dead, QCN file needed

So i send my first RP2 to warranty because my proximity sensor was dead, it went good and Razer sent me a new device with UK branding (Three) after some time of using it I flashed global version, after this on 4G i don't have Internet connection I also can't send or receive any SMS, on 4G+ i need to wait some time to receive or send any SMS but mobile data work perfectly, 3G is working without any problem. I tried to change a SIM card and flash back UK version but problem still remain. I also tried using GSI without any success. Last thing i tried to do was make full backup in QPTS but it stops at 99%. Next i what i did was EFI and Modem backup in TWRP, after this i tried Rog Phone 2 QCN file just to see I can send it to my device via QPST fortunately it worked(of course because it was for Rog phone 2 i had no Imei or signal). After this i restore an TWRP backup with 'success' (Stil RIP 4G). So what i want to do is get QCN file, put my own IMEI and see if 4G is working again.
And of course, sorry for bad English.

I don't think this phone have radio partition (at least it don't exist inside official RP2 images) I know about modem partition and I flashed it a lot of times (stock and three) without any success.

I originally ment modem, but I think the QCN file is part of the vendor partition, which i think if you modify will cause problems. I'm interested in how you change it as i'd like to do something similar to another phone.

I will send link in private message because XDA don't allow me to paste it here, there you can read about process of backup, restore and repair of qcn, it's not in a vendor partition because it stores a IMEI. (Razer phone 2, actually have 2 IMEI numbers)

Did you ever find a QCN file ?
my phone stopped seeing the network, I have tried different sim cards from my country and sometimes it finds the network and works (no 4g)...
but, If I insert a sim card from Digicel Panama it works great at LTE+ mode.
any suggestion ?

Sadly not and I never made it work. Thankfully my phone died shortly after I created this post, I got a refund and bought Pixel 3a that works without any major issues to this day.
