[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] pimpindrag0n:
are there any real differences between the dual sim and single sim? besides the obvious 2 sims vs 1 sim difference lol.

what about differences between the models (clt-al00, clt-l29, clt-l09, etc)? if it helps, I am in the USA and T-mobile. I am just trying to find the best one that covers most bands if not all and prefer dual sim. any advice and help is appreciated thank you in advance
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dieselhazza:
Yes there is a difference.

The difference is one accepts one sim card and the other accepts two sim cards
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] pimpindrag0n:
Thank u for ur reply.. But I have already stated the obvious 2 sims and 1 SIM differences. Anything else besides that?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] paysen:
It might be possible that the only difference is the card slot. It might still work with 2 sim cards with the right sim card adapter for two sims. Afaik it worked for older models.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] pimpindrag0n:
Thank u.. Do u know if there's any difference from international and global? I'm trying to buy the p20 pro and I dont wanna end up buying one that doesnt work for my service provider in USA.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] CollinFX45:
I have some relevant questions/thoughts on this. I noticed that some phones are listed as having band 41 and some are not (on eBay, varying model numbers of this phone). Now that T-Mobile might be roaming on Sprint and visa versa, band 41 does actually make a difference since the OP is using the phone on T-Mobile. Does anyone know if this is just a mistake on the listings? The official Huawei site lists band 40, but not band 41.

-Collin-
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] eoga:
Band 41 is listed as well at least for some models. https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/6fe84965 another good site to see the difference between the different models is http://www.phonemore.com/huawei-p20-pro/models/1817 this one includes the different models, not all though as CLT-L04 is not included, and their specs including the bands for each of the different models. Some of them even support CDMA so in theory should be compatible with Verizon or Sprint.

CLT-L04 is intended for the Canadian market. L29 is not so it may not have the LTE capabilities in North America while L04 would.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] timkenyon:
I'd like to jump in here. I just got the CLT-L04 today. I just started working for a Canadian company this week and I will be stationed in the US in Atlanta. I want dual SIM capability so that I can keep my personal phone number but not have to carry 2 devices. he SIM card tray only came with the ability to support a singel SIM card. Can I just order a dual SIM card carrier? is there anything special I need to know or do on the phone to support dual SIM's?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Wiggums:
My single SIM CLT-L04 already got an update once. C792. Not carrier branded.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] subhani:
You need to convert your phone to dual SIM variant using paid software (which may require a bootloader unlock code that Huawei no longer provides) and then use a dual SIM tray.

I did the above and my single SIM phone is now a fully functioning dual SIM phone. There's really no difference between the two variants other than software and that tray. The tray alone will not work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mr December:
First, I followed a tutorial precisely and ended up with a bootloop. It was just stuck at the white screen with a G. This was only after flashing the patched_boot.img file that Magisk gave me. I searched for hours online for an answer for that, and my device isn't listed when I type "adb devices." It's just blank. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, I used different usb ports, different cables, I'm using the latest Google usb drivers, as well as the latest adb/fastboot files.

I wanted to push twrp to my phone via ADB, so I can flash magisk that way and fix this issue. I've read that it fixed my problem for other people, but sadly I'm unable to so far. When I try using the command "adb push twrp.zip /sdcard/" I get the following error:

"adb: error: failed to get feature set: no devices/emulators found"

In case anyone was wondering this is the tutorial I initially followed: https://youtu.be/M-0NIUUvYI4

I really don't know where to go from here. I've been looking around for 6 hours straight. All help is most appreciated.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Fastboot boot the twrp img file, then once you're in twrp, adb push the twrp zip file, and the stock boot image (extract it from whatever security update you're on). Then, adb push the magisk zip file (instead of a patched boot image) and download and adb push a custom kernel as well.

Flash the stock boot img, then twrp zip, then a custom kernel to retain touch functionality within twrp (I recommend flash kernel) and finally flash the magisk zip file and once you reboot, you should be good to go.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mr December:
Thanks for the response, Ricky. I tried using the ADB sideload feature in TWRP but it just stuck at "Starting ADB sideload feature..." and eventually fails. Then I used a flash drive and connected it to the phone via the adapter, and that worked. Unfortunately, after flashing those files it was still stuck at the same bootloop screen. :( I went back to TWRP and now the usb flash drive isn't being recognized. What should I do?

Edit: I was able to FINALLY get it out of the bootloop! I tried this script earlier and it didn't work, but it was because I didn't have the critical partitions unlocked (https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2/development/tool-deuces-bootloop-recovery-flashing-t3725778). Unlocked them, ran the script, works perfectly now. However, now I'm going to root it via TWRP and use the files you mentioned. Will do that tomorrow after sleep!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mr December:
Hey I just wanted to inform you that I did get it working after continuing where I left off last. Thanks for your help, Ricky. It's much appreciated. Now I'm just gonna investigate on how to update OTA with magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
If your going the OTA route, which, personally, I wouldn't if your bootloader is "fully" unlocked, you'll need to completely unroot, and return back to stock recovery. Not trying to deter you, I just think that fastbooting the monthly factory images is much easier, with fewer chances for errors. Not to mention, if you know the proper technique, you won't lose any data :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mr December:
That sounds sick to me. :laugh: Would you mind pointing me in the right direction to a tutorial that has the proper technique to get it done without losing any data? :)

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mr December:
Thanks bro I'll give it a shot today :laugh:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mr December:
Hey I'm not exactly sure which factory image I should choose. When I was rooting the phone the tutorial said to use the image with the same build number. My current build number is "OPM1.171019.018, Feb 2018", and I'm assuming what I should do is use this one "OPM2.171019.029, Apr 2018"?

[Verizon LG G4] robles4242:
I am on a completely stock OTA upgrade version of 2BA, I have NO root, my boot loader is still locked,<as I have still not got around to flashing the UsU method, There for I currently do NOT have a custom recovery installed; such as TWRP; which is listed as a requirement(?) in the first step of following process (to flash a rooted Rom.)

I am curious as to how I will be able to complete these steps, or am I missing something? Is this,supposed a way to gain root on 2BA if you are on a non root version like me, or is this suppose to be a update of your on a previous version which you already have rooted, or is this just a different way to root AFTER you have had the UsU boot loader unlocked?
[Verizon LG G4] ANDROID2468:
the only way to root your phone on 2BA is with UsU.

so after you do UsU you can flash TWRP and from there you can flash magisk for root. you don't have to flash this rom for root

here's a side note. when you do the UsU unlock do not flash the baseband package. it gave me problems with my SIM not being detected

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alrightthen:
I think I unknowingly corrupted my EFS partition, causing me to not be able to check for any IMEI (app will crash while trying to read it), and the baseband version shows unknown. So basically my phone can't read my SIM.

I have attempted to re-install the stock firmware (bell n910w8), but failed due to "device does not have DRK please install drk first press any buttons".

So I reflashed TWRP and brought back my lineageOS ROM, still not having any baseband number or IMEI.

I have no previous backups of my EFS file.

My original IMEI number (and SW-VER? -> Baseband or S/N) is still labeled on the box though.

How can I fix this, and get my calling features back?

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] vivivox:
Hello!

I have spent most of my day trying to root my LG V30 which supposedly has bootloader capabilities. I've come across numerous issues. Even with OEM unlocked through the developer options, and USB debugging enabled, I have had zero luck with the adb command "reboot-bootloader"; it just performs a regular reboot.

I was directed to this post: https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-v30-us998-bootloader-unlocking-now-available/ which seemed like an effective remedy. Until I got to the step where the LG website wanted me to find my Device ID by using adb reboot-bootloader. In essence, I was supposed to enter the bootloader in order to enable the bootloader. Makes a whole lot of sense.

What could I possibly do that I haven't yet done to fix this? I don't want to give up yet, I desperately would like to install a custom ROM on my phone and perhaps take back some of my privacy.

Also potentially important: the computer I have been using for this process is running the latest version of Kubuntu.

Thanks!

EDIT: new information:

All V30/V30+/V30S on the planet (except for the T-Mobile H932 variants) can now be bootloader unlocked and rooted. See the

WTF bootloader unlock and root THREAD.

Original answer, now outdated:

_________________

You've got the wrong model. You have a carrier branded variant. H931 is the AT&T model, right? Doesn't matter, still the wrong model.

For North America, you need the open market LG US998 V30. You have the H931. No North America carrier LG V30 variants have bootloader unlock and full fastboot flash commands.

Or you can use the European models H930 & H930G.

Did you read the article you linked to? It specifically says the open market LG US998, a.k.a. official carrier unlocked model.

Not to be confused with the otherwise identical U.S.Cellular model US998. The only difference is the open market LG US998 is sold by authorized retailers like B&H Photo, and that IMEI range is registered with the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list website.

The U.S.Cellular model is also carrier unlocked -- but not eligible for bootloader unlock, since it's a carrier sold variant. That's the rules for LG in North America.

Ah. Alright. Very disappointing. Thanks for the help.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] billa:
Very informative.... now, how can the US unlocked US998 be differentiated from the USCellular US998 when both have identical model numbers?

Isn't is the US unlocked version US998U <- ending with a "U"?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Jump to the last paragraph of this answer for the important stuff (but you already know about that because you helped someone else by pointing them to that thread).

To answer your question about US998, LG differentiates between the identical model number by IMEI and DEVICE-ID. All open market US998 sold by 3rd party retailers have IMEI and DEVICE-ID registered with the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock website. Both numbers have to match for LG to email you an official bootloader unlock code. I actually have one for one of my B&H Photo US998 phones.

No, US998U is the official carrier unlocked model V30+ (128 GB), has nothing to do with being unlocked. The U just denotes the model with more storage. At one point we thought "U" could mean unlocked, but it doesn't because we saw the H932U is the T-mobile V30+ they briefly sold, while the H932 is the regular T-mobile V30. "U" on the end just means the V30+ model. The open market US998U was never allowed to have bootloader unlock codes -- which LG never explained. Even the open market US998 V30 users had to basically hack the LG Developer website to get their codes emailed to them. To this day, the US998 V30 is not OFFICIALLY listed, but should be.

But 4 of my 5 V30/V30+ are all bootloader unlocked, in spite of LG. ;) Because of this:

IMPORTANT STUFF:

All V30/V30+/V30S on the planet (except for the T-Mobile H932 variants) can now be bootloader unlocked and rooted. See the

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Nyoir:
I've already done a bit of looking around but everything says it should've happened by now. When will the US unlocked MZP get the 8.0 update? I don't have much hope about security patches or 8.1 updates because Motorola no longer has their former famous reputation for up-to-date updates.

However I'd be fine of we at least got 8.0 so I can theme with Andromeda and get those nice battery and performance optimizations.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] shadyblue9o9:
Hi, i tried updating my android phone with the latest security patch from TMobile. I was on Android 8.0 and when i went to update it, the phone restarted and now i get the message.

"Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software * is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost."

The problem is i have never flashed this phone whatsoever. i did obtain it via a warranty exchange and udpated it from android 7.0 to android 8.0 and it worked fine. I am not sure why this happened.

Anyway, i tried downloading the ODIN firmware file for 8.0 from the updateto website

Specifically: htt ps:/ /updato.com /firmware-archive-s elect-model?rec ord=EEDFC92B2E0611E89F15FA163EE8F90B (get rid of spaces)

But it only contains the March 20th, 2018 firmware file (which i believe is the original 8.0)

because i had updated past that i need a more recent odin flashable firmware.

When i try to flash the CRB9 firmware i usually get error (abl) Fused 3 > binary 2 or (bootrom) fused 2 > binary 1

I believe my problem is i am attempting to downgrade the OS version. So i need a more updated ODIN firmware file.

i looked at this url

htt p://fota-clou d-dn.ospserver. net/firmware/T MB/SM-G955U/versio n.test.x ml (get rid of spaces)

and found that the latest firmware is G955UOYN3CRD9/G955USQU3CRD9

Does anyone know where i can get this odin firmware file so i can reflash my phone and get it working again?

Thank you for your advice
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Tweakecho:
I would update the apps on the phone out of the box, unless they are carrier bloat, mainly b/c it is a new phone and there are some bugs to work out still. as far as SD cards i've been buying the high end (pro) SanDisk ones for quite some time. They meet (or at least pretty close) the specs on the box. If you don't care about "speed" or waiting sometimes for things it doesn't really matter what you buy. I would get one rated at UHS-1 or UHS 2 for best performance. Like with RAM or any other chips... more you spend, the better you get.
