This tutorial mentions a very important software chimeratool, but this tool is expensive, is there any alternative?
I would like to ask about other solutions, or who has the account of chimeratool software, can I rent：○ it for me once? Thank you all!
I have an octoplus box . Can that help? I have only ever used it for unlocking phones.

that could help but it needs to connect to the phone via usb (last time i used octoplus was 7-8 years ago)- there might be a usb service to connect through internet but i dont know how safe is that.

No it won't work unless first you have to clone main imei via chimera tool or any other tool that help to colne imei and you have to buy dual sim tray also.
After that dr.keten rom will work as dual sim.
There are many video on YouTube how to clone imei for dual sim.

Hey, luckily it works for me as I have already. I flashed Stock android Q using odin and there was only 1 imei at that time, and after flashing Dr.Ketan's rom I have 2 imei and dual sim capability . And ofcourse dual sim tray is required.:good:

please can the process of converting N960N to N960F/DS be reversed, and how?
So, flashing the correct firmware for the device restore the phone to it's factory state with software updates available. Dual sim will be lost, (of course). and the device will show the true model as N960N, not N960F/DS
I was trying to sim unlock bad IMEI (financed) all services refused to unlock I managed to sim unlock very easy
1 you need to convert to international version follow this thread By AnonymousTipster ( great thanks ) (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307 )
2 unlock bootloader
3 type this commands
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot
thats all
you can also backup modemst1 and modemst2 files before this steps
you won't loose imei or have some problem phone works without any problem just tested
Congrats bro
Alright bro, I thought this was an early April fool's joke at first but it's apparently not. Congrats n sorry for the early doubts... I had just read your posts about trying a sim unlock thru some company and it being successful but the tmo app wasn't working so I figured that's where your sim got unlocked it had just carried over to the international version but apparently not. It's crazy that this is how easy it is to bootloader unlock & unlock your sim. Definitely backup your modemst with readback mode in msm
I can help you do what you need as I've done it before. pm me.

No guide ends with the user deleting their modem. I mean come on man dont mess with people. You've been all over the forum last few days with a stolen phone with a bad imei trying to get it unlocked. U just said blowfish finally came thru n u got it unlocked. How r u gonna claim someone elses work tell everyone it does something it really doesn't do (which is sim unlock the device!) And then have them delete their modems and ask for a donation.... Too funny April fool's ISN'T for a week dude.

1 phone is not stolen its financed ordered from ebay as unlocked I was scammed was not able to return from oversies
2 you can backup your modems and then try deleting with this commands they are not deleting I tryed 2 times
3 after blowfish confirmed that phone was unlocked opened unlock app > permanent unlock was receiving same error delleted app data same error factory reset - same error reflashed firmware same error after that this commands worked
all unlock services included blowfish unlock cellunlocker few one from ebay . tyed many of them they refunded money (blowfish returned credits to account) main reason wan device was not active 40 days this services can unlock bad imei phones but if device was not active 40 days they can't more than month I was trying to unlock but only this commands worked if you think you will loose modems to backup try this method
Download & Open up Terminal Emulator on your phone
Once it's open you'll be greeted with a command line prompt, in which you can enter text commands, the first thing you need to do is enable root access by entering this line (press the enter key on your on-screen keyboard after each command to issue it):
Code:
su
If this is the first time you've used Terminal Emulator a Superuser or SuperSU popup will appear, make sure you grant root access.
Now enter these two commands:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sdf2 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=2048
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sdf3 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=2048
Deleted doubting post #2 lol
gigilie said:
Bro ur funny we use magisk n we don't dd modems thru terminal to back anything up.... Tell me technically what sense would it make to delete your modem how would that unlock your sim? See if u really did unlock ur sim n bootloader for free by flashing to international and then deleting ur modems (lol) then you would have put twrp on and actually rooted upgraded to beta 7 or flashed an aosp (at least that's what I'd assume cause that's what we unlock the bootloader for) so post some screenshots of whatever ROM ur on or a video of the process with u proving ur not lying. Cause as far as I know absolutely no information regarding the devices unlocked sim state reside in the modem. Imei in Efs maybe or on the board in the phone but not on a piece of a stock rom that some of the best developers on here just overlooked but u magically figured it out.... Quit it dude go home

Some people I know discovered this work around in November if u make a modemst back up of both modems first, use msm readback to backup imei, then wipe modem, then sim unlocked, restore modem files and imei with msm readback mode. It's just very risky. So if u know how to use msm readback mode and smt mode then go for this, @nika_bego you are correct. For the haters, grow up man, u are incorrect, this man is correct. There are multiple ways to do things in android. I was part of the initial team that first achieved root with this phone with a locked bootloader via aging kernel. Which then led to wiping the modems..we had to keep it between ourselves or chaos would erupt on xda. Plus the mods get so upset if u talk about hacks, modded apps, imei anything and restoring stuff.
Thanks, good job man

I don't believe this guy either. However it is actually true that converting the TMO variant to the International using this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307 will allow a simple
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
instead of having to go through OnePlus/TMO to get unlock.bin file.
Doing the conversion, then unlocking the bootloader, then rooting as normal. However I do not for one second believe that erasing the modem will unlock the SIM.
Edit: Looks like it might be possible to SIM unlock with this HOWEVER it requires MORE STEPS not only what is listed in the OP.
OP - Can you please update your post with a full, detailed list, of what to do?

Please follow the twrp thread instructions to root your device
We need a donor nvram. All you need is files: nvram.bin, nvdata. img, persist. img, nvcfg. img, protect1. img, protect2. img, as well as pc. Goal: We will not take your imei. The most important thing for us is to understand what imei format miui accepts. Thanks.
Background:
NVRAM flew off by my mistake. Here I am with a friend trying to restore the imei. We're close to a solution. But we need donors to finally solve the problem. The loader is blocked
Please tell me I'm off topic. New guy.

Firstly, NOBODY should give anybody NO ONE of these files: nvram.bin, nvdata.img, persist.img, nvcfg.img, protect1.img, protect2.img.
If you have educational purpoises, here is not the place for collecting that.
Well, IMEI is present in NVRAM and NVDATA only.
NVRAM is the permant storage.
NVRAM is never formatted.
NVDATA is the variable storage.
NVDATA is formatted when data is formatted.
Nvdata is mounted at boot:
/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/nvdata /mnt/vendor/nvdata ext4 rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,discard,noauto_da_alloc,data=ordered 0 0
This is the file containing the IMEI: /mnt/vendor/nvdata/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/LD0B_001
We have been trying to restore the imei for 6 days. We restored the imei only in engineering. Made a backup of nvram. Then we sewed miui. And there we restored the imei, but it gives this error:
So we thought that miui accepts these imeis in a different format.
IMEI for Slot1 will not be accepted on release versions.
Go back to engineering and erase the IMEI for slot1.
It needs to be empty.
Keeps only IMEI for slot2.
And then, it will works perfectly.
Only Xiaomi Centre can recover IMEI for slot1 if you lost it.
The fact is that we used the program sn write tool to restore imei 1 and 2, bt and wf. Then, to remove the first imei, I had to use the Modern Meta program. And with the help of NVRAM editor, we removed imei 1. We launch the phone, we see that there is a second imei. But the SIM cards don't work.
If your SIM card requires the imei it works in slot2 only.
Yes, we know that the SIM card requires an imei. We made imei 2. Then after that we flashed miui (not format all and download) and after flashing miui, imei 2 flew off

But I think it is NOT specific to xiaomi/miui.
NVRAM and NVDATA structures present in MIUI, are same to other brands, models and newer android versions.
If I don't have an imei of 1. Can I link my account to mi unlock if I only have imei 2?

If you wipe data, flash using format all or flash using firmware upgrade, you will lose your imei again.
Read carefully:
1. Erase IMEI for slot1.
2. Write IMEI for slot2.
3. Backup NVDATA.
4. Flash anything you want or wipe your data if you want.
5. Restore NVDATA.
Done.
Keep the backup of NVDATA secure and if you need, just restore it back.

If you want to restore the state of unlocked bootloader, everything you need to do is unlock bootloader first and then backup the SECCFG partition.
If you lock bootloader again, just restore the backup of SECCFG and bootloader will be unlocked again.

Yes.
You can write the imei for the slot2 and keep the imei for slot1 as null/empty.
It will works perfectly on stock MIUI and then you can unlock bootloader using the SIM on slot2.
I have that problem now
Can you help me bro?
