Hi,

using ES File Explorer is ok for this task, it preserves correct line endings and permissions.

To ensure the chmod 644 permissions, go into the properties of the file, and chek that the file is readable and writable (rw, or 6) by the owner, and readable (r, or 4) for the group and others. Though when editing build.prop, the permissions should stay fine anyways. If you see the dual SIM section in the settings, then the file editing worked.

Concerning your second sim that is not recognized: I haven't heard of someone enabling dual sim on a Moto X Style, so I don't know if this is supposed to work. However you could try flashing a firmware for another region (as you have a RETEU device, try a dual sim RETEU firmware, e,g, if there's a french one like for the Moto X Play).

For some people the second sim is not working either: the reason is that the Moto hardware only allows the sim for mobile data to use 3G/LTE, the other sim must use 2G. So it *won't* work if the sim that is not used for mobile data can only connect to a 3G network (as is for some providers). So you have to check that, and maybe get a sim from another provider.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ineedtoys:
The reason many people find that the 2nd slot can't be used has bugger all to do with data modes. It's simply because the single SIM variant only has one IMEI provide by the manufacturer, so flashing a Dual SIM firmware and/ or editing build.prob still leaves the IMEI configured as "0". If you live in country (such as the UK) where all networks require a valid IMEI to enable registration and connection, there is NO legal way you will be able to get this to work, for voice or data, and following any of the instructions in this thread is a pointless exercise.

I really wish the OP would make this clear in his first post to save people wasting time and needlessly voiding their phones warranty in the process.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellysheep:
Sorry, but that's wrong. In UK the second SIM does not work because of the second IMEI being 0. However in Sweden and other countries there are providers that don't allow 2G, only 3G on their cards, so these can't be used as a secondary SIM card (although the provider permits an IMEI of 0). See this page and the following for more details.

Also some say that in the UK not all providers prohibit an IMEI of 0, so you might find a suitable provider there (though I don't have evidence about this).

Thanks for the hint. I updated the HowTo with a warning to reflect currently known issues about special countries.

Okay so i figured out a way for anyone to get dual sim working on any CM13 based rom which may or may not have dual sim enabled right of the bat but doesnt register the second sim so if you follow this then flash CM13 or RR it may have bugs like i did when it restarts very rapidly, so how this is done is:

Flash to stock 5.1.1/6.0.1 then flash the Rom you want for CM13 based roms which dont have DS enabled there is a CM13 flashable zip ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960685600 ) i used it for RR, then flash any gapps you want, set up your phone then use TWRP to back up the system, data and cache (i advise backing up to an SD card), then follow the stock flash of asia DS then flash twrp recovery and then restore your ROM and you should have dual sim working with no bugs appart from the ones that come with the ROM.

Has anyone figured out yet if a cleanly crosshflashed device (i.e. full fastboot flash and factory reset, no bootloader unlock or, naturally, custom recovery) is still getting Motorola OTAs or not?

Technically xx.xx.xx.lux_retasiaall.en.xx reteu devices don't actually exist (only retfr, retasia etc.) , so if Motorola's updater uses this information when determining if OTAs are available or not. It's quite possible that these Frankenflash-devices won't ever get any OTAs.

Has anyone with a single sim device that was cross-flashed to 5.1 dual sim been offered the 6.0 update yet?

No system update after flashing ds

Hi,

Last week I got a message for a system update from single sim 5.1.1 to 6.x. Before upgrading to marshmallow I wanted to flash my XT1562 to 5.1.1 DS first. So yesterday I flashed the ds 5.1.1 version succesfully! But when I check now for a system update I get the message that there is no update available. Don't I get automatic system updates anymore, or am I just impatient?

Btw I flashed without rooting the phone.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freibooter:
It appears that cross-flashing to Dual-SIM, even with an official stock ROM, without unlocking the bootloader and without rooting, breaks OTA compatibility and no more OTAs are being offered. Bummer.

I'd love to be proven wrong on this one, but so far there is little to no evidence of the contrary.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffonz:
Is it possible then to restore the OTA e.g. by restoring the original firmware? If not, how can I get (and be informed) of new updates?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freibooter:
I see no reason why restoring the original firmware wouldn't restore OTA compatibility.

Alternatively, you could monitor these forums and install OTAs for the Dual SIM Firmware manually as they become available here.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffonz:
Yes, I can confirm that returning to the original firmware, the OTA is restored! To me, the OTA is more important then dual sim.

Hey-Help appreciated

So, I understand that you are using the Moto X Play (Single SIM German Editon).

How did you get that 2nd SIM in there to use it? If I want to take the SDCard out and instead put the 2nd SIM in there, I really have issues with the SIM Card to stay in place.

How did you do it? :)

I guess you use your 2nd SIM with a Laptop/Tablet flatrate?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tim3tripp3r:
No you don't put the SIM where the SD card goes (really bad idea - could do some serious damage). There is a second SIM slot already there. It is covered by a piece of plastic that is held in place by really sticky / gooey adhesive. Just carefully start with one corner and carefully work it off and clean up any left over adhesive. Just be aware that the second SIM doesn't work out for everyone - it all depends on your countries regulations regarding IMEI numbers, some require one IMEI for each SIM card. Original single SIM phones only have one IMEI number. Just a FYI.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StingrayMA:
Okay, where at? I opened the casing but I do not see a hidden 2nd SIM slot. Any help? :confused:

What I have seen on the videos of the the dual-sim Moto Xplay, that both SIMs are on the slot that you can punch in and out.

Is there a spare slot that I could buy online where I am able to put both SIM cards in?

... I am soooo lost .... :eek::eek::crying:

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Analog Kid:
Ok. I know this thread is regarding to Moto X play and enabling dual SIM on it, but frankly, I have no MotoX play and what I actually want to do is otherwise, "disable" dual SIM function. I've found no similar discussion to my particular "issue", so I resolved to put it right here, just in case someone have a workaround or is kind enough for redirecting me to the proper place. Point is, I got MTK device Huawei G730-U251 single SIM device, which I was forced to flash with a dual SIM firmware due to a lack of flashable stock firmware availability. As far as I can say, phone is working fine, although I have this permanent "please, insert SIM card 2" warning which is very annoying and obviously an impossible thing to do. There's no way to disable it in settings btw, and some might simply suggest that is something I should get used to and just leave it alone. But, if by any means there's a way to make this device understand that it is not made for a second SIM, I rather (and gladly) will try it. So...

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tim3tripp3r:
This is the SIM card tray from the Moto X Play. On one side of it is the Micro SD and on the other side are the SIM card slots. The only difference on single SIM phones is that Motorola puts a piece of plastic in where the second SIM card goes. Just do what I originally posted to get rid of the plastic so that you can install the second SIM. All in all the tray can hold both SIMs and the micro SD card.

UK success with BT Mobile

Some success here. I managed to text myself (from both sims) and received them both. No need to mess with IMEIs - it seems BT Mobile will work with as is.

At first I had BT Mobile (Sim 1) and giffgaff (Sim 2). Sim 2 would never seem to work, it occasionally said "registered with network" and at times reported a signal strength, but this was for extremely brief moments. I figured it was getting partially registered, meaning the hardware was functional.

Tried swapping the sims, and it worked.

BT Mobile is VMNO hosted by EE. I don't know if there's some technical reason/hiccup, or if it's simply an option for the provider. I hope the latter or else telling you all this will lead to it being discovered and "fixed".

Giffgaff is another VMNO hosted on O2. I use this PAYG SIM as a back up - in the event of a major network issue with one provider I should be covered. It has a sim lock, though I don't think that should make much difference.

I tried called myself. My phone powered down, but I'm pretty sure this was the battery (but it leapt from 6% to 0%). I'll update if it ends up being related.

I started with a stock rom: root & twrp recovery & unlocked LL XT1562 UK (all OTA updates except the latest MM)

Steps:

Rigorous wipe through twrp (I can't remember but I think System, Data, Cache)

XT1562_LUX_RETASIA_DS_6.0_MPD24.65-18.1_CFC.xml.zip flash through fastboot

twrp reflash through fastboot

cm-13.0-temasek-UNOFFICIAL.zip flashed through twrp

open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock.zip flashed through twrp

DualSim-CM13+Flashable.zip flashed through twrp - or manually create /data/local.prop as described in the first post of this thread
