H8216 with DualSIM bank installed. Anyone? - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

Hi there,
I see there is an option to buy the DualSIM bank for H8266 model.
Does anyone know or tried to run a DualSIM bank on H8216 model?
I rather think the phones are the same, but just "blocked" to use 1 or 2 SIM depending on what your SIM bank allows you to do.
Thanks in advance for any feedback

CRR-L09 and CRR-UL00 - any difference?

Hi, just got mine Mate S, Chinese market model(UL00).
*ttp://s013.radikal.ru/i322/1509/ef/204602070f19.png
Is there any difference in models and can I flash firmware for European version on to mine phone becouse I don't want to deal with all these 50 chinese apps
Thanks!
PS I'm switching from LG G3 and Meizu MX4 Pro, so just first impression after 4 hours of tests:
1) fingerprint works amaizing, much better than Meizu.
2) the phone body is very solid and looks nice
3) sounds quialilty is good but Meizu is better, which was expected.

Ok I have a weird question. Mine is the CR-UL00 version. It has Google play as default and no Chinese bloat. Firmware is B110 what version do I have?

Dual SIM
In the Gsmarena specs page it says that dual SIM is optional. Does anybody know which one of the two models is dual SIM?

I think it means it's optional in the sense that you can either run dual sim or one sim and a micro sd card. One of the slots act as either. I know that's how it is with the UL00 version.

Maybe you're right, although I interpret from Huawei's web page that the L09 version might have a single SIM (the GSM network specs for the UL00 shows 2 cards and the L09 only one?).

Only the CRR-UL00/64GB version is dual sim (maby the 128GB version will be to when it comes). Optional referes to that you can either have sim + sdcard og sim + sim configuration, as one slot doubles as sdcard and sim slot.
Hi,
Could you please tell me wheter is possible or not to install an european verson of android on CRR-UL00?
Is it is, can you please explean me how i can do it?
Thank you very much!
Hi,
I too have just taken delivery of a Chinese sourced CRR-UL00 and would like to know if and how it can be flashed to a European or International version in order to remove the Chinese oriented 'stuff'? I have removed a lot of the Chinese Apps manually, but would be a bonus to build as a non Chinese version.
Othewise early impressions are favourable of a very well built and good looking device... loving the rear mounted fingerprint reader.​

Any news? I have seen somting about twrp and a kernel released but i really don't know how to root this phone!
Hi all,
I am about to order the CRR-UL00 DUAL SIM. However I have some questions as this isn't an European version.
Will I get support from HUAWEI when it is broke? I am not sure about this. Asked it Huawei, but they didn't respond.
Secondly what OS languages are available? Would for instance English and Dutch be available on it or other keyboard layouts like AZERTY? Can somebody confirm this?
What about the Chinese apps? Can you delete them? Or if not, put them all into a folder to deny them?
Are there other things on this Asian model in which I can run into trouble after purchase?
Kind regards

If you by this means if you will get EU warranty from Huawei, then no you should not expect that. You would have to ship it back for repair or pay to get it done localy at your own expence.

About any language is avalible on the stock firmware, Dutch and English is included. Keyboard layouts too, or you can simply download a keyboard from Google Play.

You can delete most of them, and deactivate the few apps that cannot be uninstalled.

Google Service is important for China mobiles, as they are not pre-installed in China. On Huawei Mate S CRR-UL00 the will not be installed, but you can download them from the Huawei App Store "HiApp". They work without problems for me on my CRR-UL00.

Thanks a lot for your answers! Strange as I can purchase the P8 Premium Gold Edition through Vmart (Huawei) in Belgium. This is a dual sim version with the same version as the Mate S. This is sold with warranty but normally they don't advertise this model in Europe.
Anyway.. I think the Mate S dual Sim is the better choice over the P8 Dual Sim IMO. Any constrains?

Yes it is a bit strange tha Huawei seems to only sell their low spec models in EU - actually a surprise to me that you can get the 64GB P8 here. For the Honor 7 and Mate S I have only seen the 16GB and 32GB models from official stores.
I did not go for the P8. The P8 has no fingerprint reader, also the screen and general build quality is to me superior in the Mate S. The AMOLED screen is really beautiful.
I have mate s ul00
i cant find fun scales app and i cant use force touch
this CRR-UL00 version is nice but has it active dual sim ?

does anyone know if the Korean variant (Exynos n960n) has a hybrid sim?

I am thinking of buying a sim card extender, but it requires a hybrid sim. Does anyone know if the Korean variant supports this?

Ahh thanks for the info., but alas I need my Spay, since I use it often here in Korea. If I ever root my phone I will definitely use your guide
No, the N960N does not have a hybird dual SIM system.

It is supposed to be an Exynos and they usually are Dual sim. However, I have encountered Korean exynos phones with only one sim card. Thus, you need to provide more information so we can give you a more definitive answer...

I doubt it bud... Even if the hardware would support it by having the sim tray capability, the software would have to be specifically adjusted for the situation. And seeing how small the alternative development is for the s21 Ultra, I doubt it will get to the point of significant progress..
Some time ago I had gotten a Note 9 from a friend, and since I had an S9+, I thought the note 9 would be a nice upgrade. Only to realize that since it is a Korean Note 9, it only supported 1 SIM. I seeked the internet quite a bit and found nothing relevant. I also asked around the forums but to no avail. Gave the Note to the wife, it replaced her 1 sim S7, so everyone is happy hahaha
If you do find a solution eventually, do remember to write it here, it may surely help others with the same issue as you.
Good luck!
The first step is to check if physically there are 2 sets of contractors to read 2 sim cards but that means to open the phone. Software shouldn't be an issue it handles 2 physical sim in other variants
I bought a dual-sim tray for my S21 Ultra US version - I can confirm that at least the tray fits It wouldn't read my SafariCom sim though :-/
Not sure what model the Australian S21 are but if it ends with the letter B(G998B) then you can try switching the CSC to XTC and try again.
While there's only 1 sim card originally it should still have 2 IMEI numbers because of the e-SIM so logically switching CSCs should work.

SM-G998B is a Single Physical SIM variant with e-Sim. The SM-G998B/DS has Dual Physical SIM's so based on what you've shared the answer is no.
Does the Australian version have any differences?
I believe only the Chinese variant supports two physical dual sims.

The Indian version supports dual physical SIMs too. I'm using them on mine.
I bought mine in Spain and is a SM-G998B/DS and I am using 2 physical Sim cards, both working.

Indeed. For some reason I thought he wanted a physical dual sim snapdragon variant.

Question Region locking?

Just got my S21 Ultra from Amazon Germany. (I have to have dual SIM and HK version does not work in one of the countries I visit regularly). It does not have the usual sticker about having to make a 5 minute call with a European SIM to unlock it. Has Samsung abandoned the region-locking? I had not heard that anywhere.
I can only confirm that the HK version 9910 is dual SIM enabled and both work perfectly, if this helps you.

Samsung S20 FE 5G Canada version - Single Sim. Is it possible to make it Dual Sim?

So, I was gifted a brand new Samsung S20 FE 5G - unlocked but they did not know I still need my old sim to run some banking apps (so - need two sims running). The model number of the phone is SM-G781W which is a single sim model for Canada.
One of my network providers has e-Sim support. So, is it possible to flash the dual network firmware on this S20 FE?
Any comments?
Edit:
The sim tray has some 'ridges' in so as to not allow placing a second sim. May be a simple sim tray swap might work?
try looking on eBay for a sim tray. maybe you can flash unlocked US firmware, but don't get your hopes too high.
have Canadian firmware ready if needed.

What if I try the global dual sim version's firmware?
Edit: Thanks for the reply by the way! Appreciate it.
I would try U or U1 firmware (can't remember which is the unlocked one) over the international versions. the B firmware is more likely to have frequency differences.
Any luck with this project? I assume it would be possible, I peered into the SIM/SD slot and think I saw the hardware for the the second SIM above the SD hardware.
Also interested to know if this worked?
I also have the SM-G981W Canadian Variant. I just bought it yesterday, knowing that it had a faulty SIM reader slot that can only be replaced by taking apart the phone and resoldering. My newest phone prior to this one is a Galaxy S8, so I didn't know a lot about eSIM and had assumed I could just use eSIM and assumed very, very wrong.
I'm also wondering if I can flash international firmware to enable eSIM (I have no SIM card manager).

I don`t think You need other firmware. If the software detects esim it will just start to appear.
