[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ghostofcain:
Because Huawei want people who want a dual SIM device to buy one?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] revjamescarver:
Samsung

Actually some variants of Samsung phones have locked bootloaders, Verizon in particular.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
At my previous post, I was not just referring to the conversion from Single SIM to Dual SIM, but in general I wanted to say why is it easier to do "modding" on a Samsung than on a Huawei (as for example unlocking bootloader)?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] revjamescarver:
Samsung

In general Samsung is easier because with a few exceptions they don't have locked bootloaders to begin with, they just have an efuse that is tripped when you flash anything unofficial or mod the device so they can void any warranty. As far as converting a single sim to a dual SIM, it can't be done as the hardware is different, if you want a dual SIM mate 10 you have to buy a dual SIM model.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
In the case of Huawei Mate 10 Pro Single SIM and Dual SIM there are no hardware differences. This is demonstrated by the fact that some users of the Single SIM Huawei Mate 10 Pro have been converted into a Dual SIM using the FunkyHuawei application successfully (firmware updating from BLA-L09 to BLA-L29 without unlocking bootloader) and replacing the Single SIM tray with a Dual SIM tray. The only problem encountered by some users is that after modding to Dual SIM the Major Releases have no longer been downloaded. Unfortunately, the use of FunkyHuawei is subject to charges.

Sorry for my bad english..
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] revjamescarver:
Total bs

That's total bull crap, they have been rebranded to dual SIM models, but they do not magically gain dual SIM functionality because of it, just that they can use the dual SIM firmware. The hardware of the L29 and L09 are different, changing out the sim tray doesn't do anything (this has been verified by Huawei technicians). So I hate to burst your bubble but if you wanted a dual SIM you should have bought one. Take an L29 and an L09 apart, doesn't take a rocket scientist to see they have different motherboards.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ghostofcain:
Many Samsung devices have locked bootloaders that are impossible to unlock, often flashing mods on Samsung devices triggers Knox preventing use of Google pay, etc.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
I don't doubt that exist two models of Huawei Mate 10 Pro smartphones, a Single SIM Model and a Dual SIM model. But in Italy the Dual SIM model is destined to a no brand market, the Single SIM is instead destined to a market in conjunction with brands such as Telecom Vodafone etc. In reality it would be the same product, only that Telecom, Vodafone etc. have no interest in selling a Dual SIM product because market reasons. There are users who have bought the phone branded, for example with Telecom obviously Single SIM, and have successfully converted it into the Dual SIM model through the FunkyHuawei method demonstrating that the hardware is the same.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] razorhazor:
Erm.... Yes you can...

I have rebranded a single sim BLA-L09 to dual sim bla-l29 and bought a dual sim tray and have been using it with no issues for about a year? I used FH...

... I say no issues, I dont get ota updates anymore. HW suspect it's because the IMEI doesn't match the model of phone now... But that's fine, I just buy a credit every now and again...
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] revjamescarver:
Strange

If that's true what did you use for the second imei number? Just make one up in your head? Those are not random numbers that are just invented by the manufactures.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] razorhazor:
I didn't... I just followed the rebrand instructions by Funky Huawei. I didn't need to specify or change the IMEI.

Have you looked at Funky Huawei? I thought it was well known that you could rebrand the mate 10 Pro?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] gnasher666:
You don't get a second IMEI, it shares the first. This can cause some issues with using two sims from the same network apparently although I use two different networks and don't have any issues.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
I thought XDA Forum was ahead of the Italian forum. It seems very strange that in this forum they do not know FunkyHuawei and their method.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] alixra:
I rebranded mine from single sim to dual sim and now I can't unlock my bootloader anymore. The code I have from Huawei doesn't work and I can't obtain a new one.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
How have you rebranded your smartphone?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Sathelp:
Some of the early Chinese dual sim phones only had one IMEI for both sims (branded and copied phones). They all worked well for me in the UK but I do know some countries do use IMEI checks on their networks and it was them that caused problems with the phones.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] alixra:
I paid funky huawei
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
So the only way is to pay FH?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ghostofcain:
No, you can also find the rebrand instructions on here. I won't spoon-feed you them, as there is no little risk involved ,and if you aren't willing to put the leg work in you shouldn't bother.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
I'd like to see these instructions and consider whether to risk it. Could you provide me with the link?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ghostofcain:
To reiterate, there is a very real albeit small risk that you may hard brick your device, if finding these instructions yourself is beyond you then I'd advise against it.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
Ok, thanks for the warning. First I would like to read these instructions, then I will evaluate whether to risk and proceed or not.

Can you post the link please?

PS: I am also aware of the fact that XDA Forum is not responsible in case of damages ...
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] revjamescarver:
IMEI

Of course you can rebrand, but as far as the IMEI numbers, their "instructions" are bull****, if you rebranded a single sim to a dual sim and gave it a second IMEI number you either had to have a doner phone to provide a valid number or just make on up (which won't be valid), those numbers are assigned to each manufacturer and are in a database, it also identifies the make and model of your device
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
For now, there is only one way to rebrand and unlock the second sim, and that's by using FunkyHuawei paid service.

Rebranding + second sim unlock will also invalidate your current bootloader unlock code.

Your IMEI will be the same for both sims and considering that Mate 10 pro is not a dual-sim Full Active device, you will have no problem using two sims from the same carrier.

That's all, you want dual-sim, then check FunkyHuawei's website and instructions.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
I'm sorry, but if I wanted to use FunkyHuawei I would have already done it, I certainly would not have expected me to say it. If I wrote in this forum, it's because I'm looking for a free alternative even if I had to personally carry out the procedure accepting the risks. On the other hand, each of us can do what he wants from his phone.

I await the response of "ghostofcain" for the link to the instructions ..
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
And which part of "there's no free alternative" you don't understand?

Rebrand can be done freely, rebrand + dual-sim unlock only with paid solution, end of story.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
This part

In my previous post to the question:

So the only way is to pay FH?

Someone, "ghostofcain" replied:

No, you can also find the rebrand instructions on here. I will not feed you, I'm not interested, and if you're not willing to put the leg work in you should not bother.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
Probably he was referring to the HWOTA8's rebranding method, but guess what, you can't unlock the second sim with that method.

However, continuing with this discussion is pointless,so good luck finding a free method to unlock the second SIM.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
Until "ghostofcain" does not answer me I can not know ..

I look forward to the answer of "gostofcain".
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ghostofcain:
[MENTION=2642882]Pretoriano80[/MENTION] is right I was referring to a straight rebrand, I hadn't looked into to the dual SIM malarkey so hadn't realised that requires FH.

BTW a little more respect wouldn't go amiss, maybe you want to look at who [MENTION=2642882]Pretoriano80[/MENTION] is, and then apologise to him.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
Maybe it was your distraction that generated the equivocation and maybe even my bad english (partly by google translator) :)

As for [MENTION=2642882]Pretoriano80[/MENTION] it was not my intention to be not little nice to him and if I had let understanding that I was not very nice I apologize regardless of whoever he is.

Unfortunately I had deluded myself that I had found a free alternative method instead FH through you and XDA forum. Obviously I can not understand what FH do that others can not do. I was hoping to find more support for my smartphone Huawei as happens for example for Samsung, but evidently is not, probably, because the community for the modding of Huawei is not as vast as that of Samsung.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ghostofcain:
Not as vast, and dwindling, due to the bootloader unlocking mess.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
Then someone should try to solve this mess ...
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ghostofcain:
They have, they are called Funky Huawei
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
It seems ridiculous to me to contact a payment company to make a modding my smartphone.

I'd like to find the instructions that indicate step by step how to follow the procedure to make it by me as it happens for Samsung.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ghostofcain:
It's up to developers whether they make their work available FOC, FH have decided to charge for it. If YOU are not happy with the situation either put in the development work yourself or buy a different device. I actually share some of your frustration but if support by Devs is important to you then do the research before you buying.

Going forward I think the situation, for the Mate 10 pro is only going to get worse, so if you're not happy with it, i'd recommend selling it now and purchasing a dev friendly device. Personally I'd also stay away from Samsung, they do so many variants you buy the wrong one and you're stuffed
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] markdavey:
Its simple. If you want to do it, pay FH. If you don't want to pay, its your choice to trawl the forums for a manual solution. I successfully converted my BLA-L09 to a BLA-L29 (single to dual SIM) using FH and still get the updates. In fact, my IMEI was accepted into the Beta programme for EMUI9 too which I am running now.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
Unfortunately with the FH modding there are problems with OTA updates, so it is not enough to buy credits for modding, but you are forced to buy again for later updates.

For everything else, you're absolutely right.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
But did you have to buy more credits to get updates?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] markdavey:
Absolutely not. The delivery of updates seems to be dependant on which Carrier's SIM you have in slot 1. I normally have a UK Vodafone SIM in slot 1 and received no updates. I swapped my two SIMs around so my VF SIM was in Slot 2 and my UK Tesco Mobile SIM was in Slot 1 and updates were pushed immediately.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
How come with a SIM the updates arrive instead with the other SIM not?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] markdavey:
No idea but there are others here on XDA that have found the same thing.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
Uhmmm .... I have the doubt that if I were unlucky it might not work with both SIMs ...
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
Here i wasn't getting OTAs when i was using Vodafone as primary sim, switched to another sim and bang, new update notification.

However, OP doesn't seem to accept any answer from other members and it starts to smell like trolling.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
Sorry, What do you mean for OP?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ghostofcain:
Original Poster.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
And with this sentence, what did you mean exactly ..?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GNASSIA:
I accept your answers. if the only way to go is to contact FH, ok. Only the fact that I should turn to others and pay them to do something that in other cases is feasible even alone it shocked me .. then the inappropriate response of [MENTION=2174221]ghostofcain[/MENTION] in the post no. 26 also hinted that there was a free alternative option ...

However we can consider this topic closed.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] sorinbotirla:
unlocking bootloader

Hi,

you can temporary unlock the bootloader of any huawei phone by setting the phone in testing point mode.

to do that you have to open the back cover.

Use this tutorial for disassembly:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps2cokN6gLQ

Here is the testing points for the Huawei Mate 10 Pro

[IMG="Connect these points to set the phone in testpoint mode"]https://i.ibb.co/JrJdvjH/mate10pro.png[/IMG]

To set the phone in testpoint mode follow these steps:

-turn off the phone

-open the back cover following the instructions from the tutorial

-use a tweezer to touch the testpoint showin in the picture and the metal cover of the processors (in the picture, the metal cover plate is removed. Also keep in mind there is another cover which covers the whole board which you can see in the video, that has to be removed to get access to the testingpoint).

-while keeping the tweezer connecting these points, insert the usb cable (which has to be connected to your pc).

-if you successfully made the previous step, in the device manager (for windows for example), you will see a new device connected called HUAWEI COM1)

-open the fastboot by pressing VOL - and Power button. You will see the unlocked bootloader

[IMG="unlocked bootloader"]https://i.ibb.co/C0BYPs2/Whats-App-Image-2019-04-01-at-00-52-59.jpg[/IMG]

now you can flash whatever you need and also update oeminfo commands to rebrand your phone

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] kaisoulpro:
Hi everyone,

Recently, I face an issue with my XZ1 Compact.

The phone is normal but after having/receiving a phone call, ringtone is decrease. Then,

- If someone calls me, I can't hear ringtone

- I set a sound when lock/unlock by finger print, but I can't hear anymore.

I try to put phone close the ear and realize it has sound but very very low....

I can fix it temporarily by turning on Airplane Mode, then turning it off, sound is normal now.

Could anyone help me? Is this an issue with software or hardware?

Thanks.

//sorry for my english.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Alvian_P:
I think is software problem
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
That software will be the problem
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] kaisoulpro:
Thank you.

Is your device gotten same issue or not? :(
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
This problem will be due to something you have installed.

No one else has ever had this problem

Uninstall the software that makes noises with the fingerprint reader. That will be the problem.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] DemoxYT:
Hi, I have the Huawei P20 EML-L29 8.1.0.133(C33), I've been waiting for the GPU turbo update for a very long time now and I still didn't receive it. I only received that update and the C33patch01. It's bought from France on launch date. Any word on the update release date? Thanks. (Unlocked bootloader and rooted with Magisk Manager btw)
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] wazer1337:
Thats the reason then, I had to go back to stock without root to get the update first time, you have to do shady way via magisk if you want the update as it is now for your phone.

Im on patch03
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] DemoxYT:
I actually had updated my phone while being rooted. It said updates were available but I had to use huawei firmware Finder to actually perform the updates but even it doesn't show me any more updates (like the gpu turbo one) anymore.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] DemoxYT:
OK so, I managed to update into a "non-supported" update with Huawei Firmware Finder (on play store or PC, check XDA). I updated to: 8.1.0.134 (L29C33B134). It seems to work fine so far and it has GPU Turbo from what I understand from the patch notes. However, I just installed it so more thorough investigation and usage is necessary.

[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] 4K2K:
Seems like I am following you around to ask a same question. Here I am again: does this rom have LiveDisplay feature which enables you to change color profile and calibration?
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] tsongming:
It does have Live display, and it has Kcal built into the system which is really nice. Its not exactly the same as what you are talking about but nonetheless pretty good. But It doesn't have options to set the display to Dynamic, Photography, Cinema etc. But those settings are just saved profiles. and you can pretty much achieve the same lighting and colour with Kcal.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] 4K2K:
Thank you for the detailed answer. You again saved me from wasting time and hassle.

And no, Color Profile is not just saved profiles and one cannot achieve color correction only with Kcal. While Kcal does provide color calibration, it is quite limited unless paired with Display Profile. Put simply, without a Color Profile option, the display sits somewhere near the Adobe RGB color spectrum, just like Samsung phones before they introduced Screen Mode (primary colors looked neon due to it.) Making changes via Kcal does not help much when whole spectrum is off to begin with.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] tsongming:
Yes, I am fully aware of what ICC profiles are. I was attempting to keep the answer stupid simple. Most people would have no idea.

I used to work at ICG with Don Hutcheson before he retired. He is one of the main contributing pioneers in digital colour correction http://www.hutchcolor.com/Don.html ICG invented the original commercial grade CCD drum scanner., today's mass production heidelberg commercial grade scanners use ICG patents. I am not claiming to have anywhere near his understanding or maybe yours. but I certainly paid attention.

Understand the wide color gamut mode

Edit : If you saved a preferred setting with Kcal, it would still be a profile.

No its not nearly as good as what comes with Lineage or Samsung and its parameter settings are good enough for real color profiling Nonetheless, its still saved colour, shades and lighting , what name would you give a saved setting?
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] 4K2K:
I tried to use roms that do not have Color Profile options but just could not handle the skewed color. I thought it was a curse to be color sensitive and blamed my photography background. Hell, most people prefer adobeRGB screen on SRGB content thinking it is so vivid and nice. Look at how people setup TVs - cranked up saturation, contrast and even sharpness. An eyesore but to my amusement, people like it that way.

I find it interesting that you with such a background are okay with this issue. And I admire you for that. I wish I could handle incorrect colors. Funny thing is, I have no taste when it comes to food and audio. I guess all my sensitivity went toward color rendition.

Regarding the question, I do not know. Maybe Color Parameters?

EDIT: fixed grammar.
