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

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)
So I flashed Dr. Ketan's ROM and saw that the model number displayed was wrong, simple aesthetics I know, I decided to edit the build.prop settings to fix this, when I restarted my phone, it suddenly displayed that I had network sim locked. What I found out next is that if I only place my main sim, there would be no problem, but if I add a second sim to sim slot 2, the network sim locked appears. I even re-flashed a stock rom, still the same issue. Can anyone help? thank you
EDIT: to clarify, both sim slots were working just fine before I flashed Dr. Ketan's ROM and edited the build prop setting to fix model number.

this is strange issue and i believe a rom can not do this. Did you try flashing any other kernel? is your sim password locked?

Those were my thoughts. None of my sim cards are password locked. Tried them on a different phone which was definitely unlocked. Both sims are working fine. Brought it to my carrier (I'm not from the US) and explained to them my problem. I also mentioned how weird my situation was in the sense that both my sim gets network locked if both sims occupy sim 1 and 2 slots but if I use my carrier's sim( the carrier with whom I have a plan with) then the sim would function normally, otherwise network sim locked.
My carrier declared it defective and is now shipping a new one. I guess that somehow solves my problem. It just irks me though that my experience seems to be so unique that I couldn't find any solution online and no one with whom I've talked to seems to know how to remedy the problem.
edit: I did not flash any kernel, I had stock kernel the entire time.
Hi, since a few weeks my phone get weird and the sim card disabled without reasons or messages....
I tried to change roms versions (pIxel experience-Ion-and others) and finally it's the same, no changes!! it could happened 10 times a day or just 1 time in few days....
Well so I'm looking for a solution please help me
I can see my IMEI in sim card options
MotoG5sPlus (Sanders-XT1805-32go-Havoc-v3.0-25122019)
If you have a 2nd slot for the sim, try that. Or get a news SIM - that one may be bad. It happens

thx. Yep I already change the nano sim card and the same. i did not try the second slot cause I need my sd card but I will in case.
I have the same problem... I decided to root my new moto g5s plus but after unlocking my bootloader and rooting the phone with magisk my sim card reader died... I tried the secondary slot and rebooting a few times but It didnt worked. I already tried with the stock ROM but nothing...
So i bought a new note 10. On the box there is a sticker over the second imei nr and the sim card tray has been modified to only allow one sim. However on the back of the phone it clearly has a sticker showing both imei nrs. I suspect the phone company install a custom rom that disables the second imei as doing the #*06# trick only shows one imei.. any advice how to get my second sim working?

I got my phone from Vodacom also single SIM. The ROM is not custom, it's simply a different kernel that is used on the single SIM variant. To enable the dual SIM the kernel needs to be replaced with the Global/international version that has dual SIM enabled.
The solution to this is relatively simple and I can explain it to you in detail.
Disclaimer: You should already have some experience installing custom ROMs to do this, but if you are a noob don't panic, it not as involved as a Samsung.
First step is a bootloader unlock. Tools required is a pc/laptop and Xiaomi MiUnlock tool. There is a detailed how-to here on the forum. Make sure Find my device service is disabled. This process will reset the phone and you will lose all your data on the phone and it takes 7 days during which time you can use your phone normally just do not power it down or restart it. The phone reset only occurs when the bootloader is unlocked after 7 days. Take this time to back up anything that can't be saved by your Google or MiAccount.
Second step, install TWRP and flash the latest stable Xiaomi.eu build for our device. Dual SIM enabled, enjoy.
Last there is 2 ways to install the 2nd SIM card. 1. craft knife surgery on the SIM tray or wait for one from eBay or Alibaba.com.
Read the Xiaomi.eu thread for more info and a more detailed guide to flash the firmware.

Hey. I have the exact same problem right now. Have you sorted it out?
I think your SIM card is broken.
