Flashing firmware of single sim on dual sim version

Because the dual sim unlocked version of note 8 is not supporting volte from EE in Uk, I would like to know if it's possible to flash the EE firmware, single sim, on the dual sim phone...
Dont know about that but I flashed about a half dozen firmwares on my Singapore FD trying to see if I could get the oem unlock slider and all of them had dual sim enabled settings. A couple of them I actually checked for connectivity. My guess is you're going to be fine and you can always flash back the stock software anyways so it isn't a potential black hole.

Ive flashed single sim firmware on my dual sim note 7, s7 edge and S8 plus and never had an issue
sent from my Note FE, S8 plus, or S6
Did this work I want yo flash ee software on my phone as well. And eventually custom roms because I will eventually get bored of the standard ones

Do you still get OTA updates as if your phone now is single sim? Did the dual sim cards manager disappear in settings , messages and phone calls ?

Can convert Note 8 (Exynos) one sim to dual sim ?

I heard S7, S7 Edge, Note 7 (Exynos) can convert one sim to dual sim, so I think Note 8 can do that. Anyone tried ?
Sorry for my bad English !!!
They all have the same dual SIM hardware but the RIL is different, and you would need another IMEI for the second SIM card. I don't think there is a legitimate way to do this.
This is clip convert S7, S7 Edge, Note 7 (Exynos)

Note 8 Question - Snap or Exynos?

Hi there,
This might be done to death but here goes - i currently have a single sim Three (unlocked) that has the exynos chipset, since i go over to the states alot, i want to get myself a dual sim Note 8 so i can use an American number with my UK number without having to annoyingly keep switching over or have 2 different phones.
Obviously dual sim means no microSD, so far i only seen Eqynos variant 64gb but elsewhere seen a Snapdragon variant 128gb which is tons more useful, in real life usage (especially coming from a S7 Edge) will i see much of a difference? Has Snapdragon caught up nowdays?
Also how easy isit without tripping anything that will disable Samsung/Android Pay to flash Carrier (Three) onto my unbranded Note 8? Mainly if i get rid of Three Note 8 phone, i lose access to 4G Super Voice which kinda sucks.
Thanks for the help
Obviously dual sim means no microSD,
Not obviously, you can DIY your SD card, just combine your SIM and SD to one, please do search, it's working well.
Thanks.
I was in the same dilema as uk samsung only sell the 64gb dual sim. Went and bought the 256gb sn9500.... no problems at all. Even using samsung pay without issue.
It is dumb that they won't allow more Ryan 64gb for uk market.
Also using the dual sim and sd card.... is probably a bit risky as the sim tray is so flimsy.
I used dual sim and sd on my axon 7 without issue... but the note 8 i think will be a bit risky.

Australian Telco note 9 dual SIM functionality

Hi all,
I've signed up for a note 9 plan since my new job allows allowance for work mobile. However the sim tray is not hybrid at all(the second sim slot can only for micro sd card) . I've managed to cut the SIM so that it fits into the second slot, however unable to get this to work.
The SIM works fine if it's plugged into sim 1 slot. Has anyone got any solutions to this? Any input would be appreciated

Sounds like you device is of the single-SIM variety.
Even if you bought a dual-SIM Tray to use,it will be of no benefit,you have a single-SIM phone.
Flashing firmware that works on known dual SIM phones will not do it either,many have tried various things,the functionality simply isn't there (presumably a hardware issue,it's simply not there).
FWIW,I tried a dual-SIM Tray on my US (T-Mobile Note 9),& nada. I knew what to expect going in,but,had to quash the slight bit of false hope.
The Exynos single SIM Note 9's are the same.

That's quite disappointing, it was one of the reasons why I got Samsung phone after all..
All of Samsung's Webpage indicates that all note 9s are capable of dual SIM functionality. I guess I should have double checked with Telco to see if they have locked the Dual SIM functionality..
Appreciate your input tho man. Cheers

I've never seen anything stating all Note 9's are capable of Dual-SIM functionality, but, I'm in the US, where Dual-SIM phones are the exception vs the single SIM variety.
The only phone that I'm aware of that has Dual-SIM capabilities, but, ships with both Single-Sim and Dual-SIM firmwares is the OnePlus 6T.
You could try a Dual-SIM tray & flashing a SIM-Free firmware that's known to work on Dual-SIM phones to find out with certainty.
The trays are cheap enough, I got mine from eBay for less than $10 USD.
I hope I'm proven wrong, but honesty, I'd keep my expectations low.
Please keep us posted on your outcome.

Sell it and buy a dual SIM
Samsung s9 note SM-N960N ? Dual sim.
I bought 1 in HK. It has the Korean KT logo at start up. Literature says dual sim. But phone has a different sim tray where it is not possible to fit a second sim in sd slot.
I have tried getting info from Samsung, but I might just as well have tried booking a trip to the moon.
So anyone know about this or where to buy the right sim tray and experiment with second sim card
Thanks

Have you tried turning the SIM 90 degrees to fit in the MicroSD card slot in the tray?
Thanks for suggestion

If you look at pictures of a tray with 2 sim cards, they both have the same orientation so contacts on board should be in this position.
Also rotating 90 degrees does not provide a proper seat for the sim card

Hi guys. has anyone tried a dual sim card tray in the single sim version of the Note 9?
In my single sim huawei mate 9, i flashed to europe firmware and bought a dual sim card tray and now its a proper dual sim phone. as i havent loaded the dual sim firmware i cannot set which is my primary sim unless i stick the primary sim into the main tray place. But it works..
There are some videos on the youtube. I don't know is these are fraud or not. Who has the knowledge about the mainboard differences ?
Since i can not post any links due to new member thing, there is the video ids.
