I just unlocked my bootloader and am wondering what the next step I should take in my quest for P20 Pro nirvana. But when I was researching this, I found reference to the possibility of converting my L09 model from single sim to dual sim (on funkyhauwei site). This is a paid service (like all Huawei development by the looks of it) and I'm wondering if this really works. A dual sim model would be really handy for a data only sim.

Sorry, my bad.
Anyway, is there a cheaper option than the FunkyHuawei one? More importantly, is it worth it?

First find out what your carriers settings are, like the APN settings. See if it's gsm cdma.. You can try going in the phones settings and checking them out open the dialing pad and *#*#4636#*#* and look around.
hi, thank you for your response, that menu was the first thing i tried lol, i put an o2 sim in and i got it to show the H symbol next to the signal bars which still had a cross on them, it also auto installed the apn settings other than that, no change

You cannot unlock the SIM card with a code from anywhere online it doesn't work that way because number one the SIM card in these phones is only to allow the phone to get LTE internet speeds number two the MEID is how the phone gets service not just the SIM card cause you can remove the SIM card and the entire phone will still work just without LTE number three you can't insert another carriers SIM card and then have the phone ask you to enter the unlock code because the phone will never ask for that code when you put another SIM in there it will just say invalid SIM card and nothing else and number four, the phone is unlocked via uicc and has to be done on the carriers side not some unlocking websites code....

No. Because many people have gotten the unlock codes and not a single person can find a way for the phone to ask for it. Of course he IS in Europe and their rules are different there so he may have, who knows.

And you are expecting the "site" to do what exactly?
Why don't you just take your phone to your carrier and have them program it to use their services?!?!

It could be a legitimate unlocking site that he used and expected it to work with his 510 (which they probably don't say that they don't support it), in which case he can probably convince them to refund his money.
Or it could be a scam site, in which case he'll have to do a charge-back or something to get his money back.
Also, he could take it to his current carrier but given the evidence of previous users, they won't unlock and program it for their network because the likelihood of them being able to is slim to none.

It seems like he's screwed then. I unfortunately don't know how or what settings to use to help him with the issue. He did say "should I contact o2?" So I asummed he could contact them I guess.
Hi. I am considering buying a sprint ls995.
I want a lg flex because it is unique, long lasting battery, and I'm a snapdragon 800 fan.
I am aware I will not have 4g capability here in New Zealand.
So before I buy one off ebay I want to know what is the success rate of unlocking these phones, and what is the best / most up to date guide to do so?
Thanks.

I unlocked mine with Brute force/stump root, petty easily. I think the difficulty/success comes from the software version. I started, and still on ZVA.

Thanks so should I ask for a particular software version model to ensure success? which one/s?
Where can the person find it incase I need to tell them?

Just my experience, that was the easiest.
To check software:
Settings--->about phone---->software info
There are a few threads in this forum with people having trouble with unlocks. Thats why I gave you my suggestion.
I just noticed a Dev commenting on the status of freedomflex/and ioroot. Read up in those threads, maybe they will update them to work with the new software updates.
Any one know Where can do Note 8 N950F single SIM convert to Dual SIM in London area !

I don't think you can't change a single SIM device to dual SIM as each SIM needs a separate IMEI number to operate. However, maybe you can as there are dual SIM adaptors available ... have search on Google!

You can't do that without a second IMEI, which the dual sim models have but the single sim models don't. Copying IMEIs are illegal in most places and not allowed on XDA. Suggest you sell your model and buy a dual sim one.
This post I just want anyone live England London know any mobile shop can do.
(In England Note 8 is N950F Exynos CPU, so can single SIM convert to Dual SIM)
I don't have Z3X tool box to write IMEI , so I want someone advance me where can do that.

We do not mention imei writing and such
That is not a good idea as your device is only equipped with a single SIM slot and a microSD Card slot. Even if you manage to install another imei number onto your device. It may not work.

Can be done only if your device is still binary 1. For more info on this topic suggest you try http://forum.gsmhosting.com/. You won't find any imei modding here.
From what I have read (for education purposes) - converting n950f to dual sim - the legal method is to use the same imei.
To duplicate imei for both sims require first diag the cert file from the phone using z3x won't work with binary 3 or 4. phone must be knox 0.
To write cert file require another paid software - gcpro - z3x does not support writing cert yet.
unless your phone is knox 0 and binary 1 there is no point in looking into this, but maybe in the future.

Copying IMEIs is still illegal, whether for "education purposes" or not. That's why it's not permitted on xda as the mod pointed out earlier.
I've had my CLT-L09 deflowered, sorry, bootloader unlocked for several months now but I've never really had the inclination to root it or anything else. That was until I spent the last 5 days and nights in the wilds of County Donegal, in the north west of Ireland, with no wifi and rapidly depleting roaming data. I got back home this evening and after a quick look at funkyhuawei and seeing they're doing 8 credits for US $28 at the minute, enough to buy me a dual sim conversion, I've decided this is the way to go. But I'm not an idiot. I know it isn't going to be as quick and easy as they make it out to be. And I know it will also relock my bootloader and make it impossible to unlock again. At least for the time being. But I'm happy enough with it on stock so that doesn't concern me too much.
So what I want to know is, how easy is it really to do, and how high are the risks of bricking the phone?

Their processes aren't too difficult or so I'm told and they have good support, but it's personally leave the door open for bootloader unlocking..
Did they tell you that this is definite? That your bootloader will relock?

It says so in their instructions but some have reported it not being locked afterwards. But I've emailed them for clarification.

from L09 missing second sim to my knowledge...
L29(dual sim model) convertible to singe sim in theory
I ordered a genuine twilight twin sim tray from ebay, some use a dremel to trim the existing tray down to dual sim compatible. And converting an L09 to an L29 is a thing. Checkout FunkyHuawei club's site.
OK, so yes, the bootloader will lock and not be able to reunlocked ever as the imei will change
The debranding requires you to be on Oreo which if you don't pay attention, in itself, can lead you with a temporarily bricked phone and a headache. Hasn't happened to many but a few have managed it when downgrading to a suitable version
Their support is USELESS and not knowledgeable at all on even their own utilities or their effectiveness.
And finally as already pointed out, the sim tray is an issue aswell
Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk
You have to downgrade to Oreo, you can use HiSuite to do that. Also you can order a dual-sim tray from Amazon, Ebay, Ali. I am planning to convert my C782 to C432-L29 (Dual-Sim). Two SIM cards, more updates than this UK crappy version. The process isn't hard from what I read on Funky's website. You just need to pay attention. I guess you will run 2 SIMs with one IMEI. Here are users who reported, after converting, that both are working perfectly fine, 4G+ connection. Give it a try if you have the bootloader unlock code, I am waiting for it to be available again. The worse part is that we have to pay for something which was free until Huawei decided to close it. So for a 16 characters code last time available was over 100 dollars.

HiSuite shows the only firmware version as being Android 9. My phone's current fw is CLT-L09 C782E3R1P9. Can anyone tell me which version of 8 I need to get to downgrade this?
FunkyHuawei were (kind of) assisting me with the multitude of problems which reared their ugly heads once I started doing this. But as soon as I hit the "Problem. Quitting" error in FHP20SingleToDual app, they went into silent running mode. Its only through extensive googling and searching here that I learned about the Emui 9/Pie issue with the app and the need to downgrade. I'm sure this is all plain sailing if you have exactly the right fw verion on exactly the right handset. Otherwise its just a blimming headache.
Oh, and I already got the genuine dual sim tray from ebay.
Thanks for your advice on this.
I will post a screenshot here what HiSuite is showing me, a bit later.
All I need is a bootloader unlock code, hopefully I will get it anytime soon

You had the exact same issue with me, they appear willing to help at first but as soon as the time comes to actually answer a question or do something they go quiet. I changed to l09c432 didn't see the point in dual sim and also non matching imei to the box would bug me haha

Hi There,
I am a complete and utter n00b so apologies if this question is in the wrong place or has already been answered etc but I have a Huawei P30 Pro which is version VOG-L09 which means, it has no dual sim capability, welp.
I understand the VOG-L29 does have dual sim capability so I was wondering if its possible to manipulate this using some software / firmware flashing or if there is some hardware involved which makes it impossible.
Just to be clear, I have both sim cards in the phone, but the phone does not recognise my 2nd sim card.
My UK network has decided to restrict my roaming (as I live in Spain) due to stupid Brexit, so I now have a Spanish sim card but would prefer to dual wield them if possible.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
I have done this with Mate 10pro, a few years back.
It was possible with funkyhuawei but it is a paid service. maybe you could ask them
I needed a new sim tray as well, found one cheap on eBay.
