Single SIM. The tray doesn't have the layout for 2 cards.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
They have been wrong about this before. But I will be optimistic as I'm a glass half full guy. ;)

If it has dual sim, true dual sim capability, the sticker on the box will have two IMEIs.

Dual SIM is nice, been using that feature for a while and I like how my XS Max can support Verizon and TMO at the same time. I'd rather have a dual sim tray than the e-sim to avoid a 611 call to change, but it's better than carrying two phones, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] antawnm26:
says it has a dual sim:https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-note10/specs/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Ace42:
That's Samsung global, which is the wrong place to check. Also... "Availability of dual SIM may vary depending on country or carrier."

There U1 N10s have 1 IMEI, which means single SIM. Someone I know with the device says it only accepts 1.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Kaliaila:
I am fairly sure it is a regulation thing here. I forget the specifics though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] antawnm26:
uh no regulations because iPhone has dual sim
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
Get the Exynos, it will be dual sim.

If you're on VZW or Sprint, however, it's not going to work.

iPhone XS and XS Max are single (physical) SIM with esim capability. The Chinese version has a dual sim tray, however.

The us variant of the ROG phone has dual SIM however.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Hitman3984:
Got to play with a note 10 + today. Not sure which model it was but was in the hands of a rep. It's dual SIM with dual imeis.

One of the sim trays doubles as sd card slot.

But the demo my store has is not dual SIM.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] jattal:
The tough question, is Note10+ 5G dual sim?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
The one available currently is on Verizon and the answer would be no.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Hitman3984:
Can confirm
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] joogle:
What is the model number of the dual sim variant?

Also do features on those International phones such as Samsung Pay/etc. work in the US

Really wish there was a way to activate dual sim in the US one, i suspect hardware is the same and if the dual sim tray can fit - then it would all be software based.

just a guess and hope

i know this thread is old.

BUT...

you can dual sim this puppy.

first open a windows terminal by pressing [windows key] then typing 'wt' and pressing [enter]:

Enter the following commands one by one,:

adb shell
su && cd system/bin && ls -a
# this will demonstrate all your admin system tools
telecom set-sim-count 2
# phone might reset here
telecom get-max-phones
# if it says two your good. Theoretically this is only limited by your memory capacity...

TL;DR: adb shell su & telecom set-max-phones 2 && telecom get-max-phones​

Copy and paste this code into windows powershell admin terminal:

$zipFilePath = "C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME GOES IN HERE>\Desktop\platform-tools.zip"
$destinationPath = "C:\"
$platformToolsPath = "C:\platform-tools"
$existingPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', 'Machine')

Expand-Archive -Path $zipFilePath -DestinationPath $destinationPath

# Append the Platform Tools path if it's not already present
if (-not ($existingPath -split ';' | Select-String -SimpleMatch $platformToolsPath)) {
$newPath = "$existingPath;$platformToolsPath"

# Update the PATH environment variable for the machine
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', $newPath, 'Machine')

# Notify the user about the update
Write-Host "Platform Tools path added to the system environment PATH."
} else {
# Notify the user that the path is already present
Write-Host "Platform Tools path is already included in the system environment PATH."
}
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Mooatreides:
I was wondering why with k20 pro you dont wipe system? In all the thread i see flashing procedure, after first flashing miui CN, format data(if encrypted) wipe cache, delvik and data but not system? In Poco we wipe system even for a dirty clash (delvik cache, system then flash rom and gapps and alls good).

Anyone else from poco here with tips about differences in flashing procedure?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
It's normal for most ROMs to wipe system as part of their install script. So normally there is no need to wipe system manually before. You will only need to wipe system if a ROM developer/maintainer tells you to in their flashing instructions.

See this page from the official TWRP FAQs https://twrp.me/faq/whattowipe.html

Cool thanks alot man that makes sence actually.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
So i ride a R1 and bought a Cardo Slimtalk bluetooth speaker system for my helmet, and one of the users in their forums suggested i switch the bluetooth audio codec, in dev options

So i go and change it from "Use system selection" which is usually "SBC" to APTx or LDAC and it switches back immediately, what gives? how can i take advantage of this?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
your bluetooth speaker doesn't support anything higher than SBC
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
i even tried this on my jabra 65t actives and nothing would work either.

Anyway I can force the phone ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
The jabra seems to have aac, try that. Should work fine automatically, otherwise use the app if available on Android.

And if the dev settings won't stick, you can't force it otherwise. Some devices have apps which can be used for them and also to force things like that (Sony for example does this)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OneFineGuy:
I’m stuck and would appreciate advice with how to proceed with rooting my Samsung Note 8. The goal is to successfully root and then install Dr.Ketan ROM

Background:

I’m a curious and tenacious novice. This is also my first post. I appreciate your patience if I screwed something up.

I’ve successfully rooted a Samsung S7 Edge but that’s it. I’ve invested time reading posts about similar rooting-Note-8 issues. Despite the research, I’m still not sure how to proceed. In advance, I’m grateful for your advice.

Summary:

•	Attempted root of Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950F, Exynos chipset)

•	After root, it successfully initiated the stock Android setup process (e.g., connect to WiFi, etc…)

•	I was silly and didn’t complete the new device setup and instead, powered it down and went to bed :( That was apparently a really poor choice!

•	Next day, I attempted to boot the phone. It wouldn’t boot normally and instead, I got the dreaded “Only official released binaries are allowed…” message

•	Attempted to reflash TWRP using ODIN but it now fails

•	Can only boot into download mode

What I originally did:

Rooted using ODIN

o	I successfully flashed TWRP using:​

-- Odin3_v3.13.1​

-- twrp-3.3.1-0-greatlte.img.tar​

-- Credit -- “Max Lee process”; reference galaxynote8root.com​

o	Next, I flashed the other items that Max Lee recommends. I believe these items successfully flashed.​

-- samsung-antiroot-removal-2.4.zip​

-- RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa.zip​

-- Magisk-v16.0.zip​

As previously described, after what I believe was a successful initial root, the phone initiated what appeared to be the stock-Android-first-time setup; and, unfortunately I failed to complete it :crying: and instead powered it off

What I’ve tried since:

•

Power On

: After powering the Note 8 on, it will not startup normally

o	It says “Only official released binaries are allowed…” and promptly powers itself down​

[IMG="Only Official Released Binaries (Image B)"]https://imgur.com/NoSL4g1.jpg[/IMG]

•

Boot to Recovery

: Attempt boot into Recovery but it fails to start TWRP

o	It says “Only official released binaries are allowed…” and promptly powers itself down​

•

Boot into Download Mode

: It will boot into download mode and displays the following:

[IMG="Download Mode (Image A)"]https://imgur.com/VD1SUeG.jpg[/IMG]

•	I’ve tried

re-flashing TWRP

using two different USB-C cables and two different PCs; all attempts failed

[IMG="ODIN Fails to flash TWRP (Image C)"]https://imgur.com/GHtWSPd.jpg[/IMG]

One specific question: Moving forward, if the best thing to do is to un-root and then re-root, is there a way to do it that will avoid another 7-days of FRP lock / jail hell? If so, I’d love specific guidance on how to do that.

In case it’s meaningful, there is no SIM card currently installed. Please advise if that is a problem
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
I'm a novice too so I always stick to the easy way.

I Flash in a prerooted rom.

I like the stock rom so I chose a custom rom that send to be a rom with very minimal tweaks but rooted.

For your case, you need to first download your official stock rom and flash it in with odin to solve the current problem.

Switch on and complete setup.

Then go back odin and flash in twrp

Then flash in a custom rom of your choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OneFineGuy:
Avoid FRP Lock?

First - thank you for your kind and helpful response! I didn't realize doing that was even an option.

Follow up questions:

• In the process of flashing the stock ROM and the custom ROM, is it inevitable that I the FRP lock will be triggered and I will get to wait 7 days?​

• If it's not inevitable but is still a potential risk, any tips for what to not do so I can avoid lock jail?​

I admit that I'm probably a little paranoid about the FRP lock thing. While I've attempted to educate myself about what triggers it, it's still not crystal clear
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr.Fearless:
Hi everybody, i've tried the oem trick to show the oem selector, i've tried to flash the TWRP but nothing, cant' root my phone. So i tried also to repack the AP file by magisk...nothing to do. I triend with chimera tool also, nothing to do :( :(

My pone has the revision firmware N950FXXS7DSH1_N950FOXM7DSG1 (ITV)

Name file:

CSC_OXM_N950FOXM7DSG1_CL16168780_QB24712629_REV00_ user_low_ship.tar

When i try to flash the recovery, odin fails with the message "only official releasewd binaries...".

Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Delgoth:
If it specifies only user release builds can be flashed, can't you use ODIN to flash back to the stock FW you were on before, and then just restart the process from square 1? You shouldn't have to sit with an unbootable device if it will accept the same stock build you started with.

If it worked once, it should realistically work again. 7 days might be a long time to wait, but it beats a non-usable device any day of the week.

Eager for the next step

[MENTION=3254678]Delgoth[/MENTION] and [MENTION=299885]vash_h[/MENTION] -- Thank you for your guidance. I tried a few things, am still stuck, and would love your ideas for next possible steps.

Summary

I downloaded stock firmware using the SamFirm app / downloader and attempted to flash using Odin. Odin reports "FAIL!"

Details of what I've done:

* Used SamFirm_v0.3.6 to download stock firmware (see "SamFirm Detail" and image below).

* My device model # is SM-N950F. I don't know what version of stock firmware the device is expecting. I decided to download a UK version of ROM because English is my native language. However, I do remember seeing Spanish or Portuguese (or similar) as the default language on the device before I started rooting it.

** NOTE: I don't know what firmware shipped with this phone. I purchased it used and made the novice mistake of not documenting what was there before starting. And now, it won't boot so I don't know how to figure that out.​

[IMG="SamFirm Detail"]https://i.imgur.com/4X7zk7R.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="Firmware Details"]https://i.imgur.com/QHNsFUc.jpg[/IMG]

* Used Odin v3.13.1 as well as v3.12.7 in my attempt to flash the stock firmware. Ran both versions of Odin as an Administrator

* In both instances, Odin fails on sboot.bin (see details below)

Questions

* Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

* In its current state, how can I determine what version of stock firmware shipped with this phone (now that the phone will not boot normally)?

* Maybe stock firmware flash fails because the version I'm attempting to flash uses an bootloader version that is older (than what is currently in use)?

** If that is a possibility, I would love guidance on how to determine the version of bootloader the device is using​

** Download screen on device reports​

RP SWREV: B:4 K:2 S:2​

* Is using "Emergency Firmware Recovery" option in Samsung Kies 3 app a good option to move forward?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Delgoth:
Your 4 file firmware image you posted lists the AP and BL files as being Bootloader revision 1 (1AQI1). The first picture looks as if you are trying to download the revision 7 FW, but the 4 files you have listed underneath are from a revision 1 firmware. This would indicate why your flash fails at sboot.bin. Because it seems you would be flashing too old of a revision to the device.

"RP SWREV: B:4 K:2 S:2" seems to indicate you're device is on a Revision 4 bootloader. Samsung Smart switch may be a good candidate to use if the program will detect the device still. But if you can still flash in download mode you should be able to get smart switch to pick up the device and give you some details. I would say maybe try using another source to acquire the Firmware and trying again with a Revision 4 or 5 firmware package at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OneFineGuy:
First, thank you again for your patience and tenacity in helping me through this issue! I've done some more homework and have a couple more questions I'd love to run past you:

1. Because I'm simply trying to load stock firmware so I can resume and complete the root, does it matter which region- or carrier-specific (CSC) stock firmware version I use?

Naturally, it's well understood that using legit stock firmware that is specifically for the SM-N950F is mission critical. I ask because I don't know what the original CSC version of my phone was, I don't know how to find that out now that it won't boot up, and the vast array of Region / Carrier versions available is dizzying.

2.a. Will you help me confirm what the revision # is for the boot loader file shown below? I think the "7" that I've highlighted means it is version 7 (but I'm not totally sure because the file name seems to be missing the letter to indicate the calendar month of the release date).

Background: I recently downloaded "XEU" flavored stock firmware from SamFirm. I highlighted parts of the filename and attempted to provide an interpretation about what things mean based on what I think I know.

[IMG="Firmware file set"]https://i.imgur.com/qG8mOTP.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="Attempted Interpretation of the file name"]https://i.imgur.com/DYqc2Dc.jpg[/IMG]

2.b. Regarding the firmware file naming scheme, is the letter that refers to the month of release (that follows the "year" code) optional? I'm confused because (in the images above), I was expecting another letter to follow the blue-colored-highlighted "S" [in order to indicate the month of release]. Instead, the "S" is followed by the number "7" (which seems to refer to the revision #, rather than the month). Can you confirm or advise?

3. When you look at the image of this other firmware file set I've downloaded, do you see any reason why it shouldn't work? I'm simply asking for advice based on your experience, and certainly not asking to try and hold you responsible if it doesn't work: the responsibility is all mine.

Hi. Are you still stuck?

If you are, try to locate the box your phone came with.. Let us know the exact model and what's written on the bar code labels..

It'll better help us understand the origin of the phone (which region) and we can better identify which firmware you need.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OneFineGuy:
Making Progress

Thank you for reaching out and asking. The spirit of helpfulness you embody is awesome and is part of what makes XDA Developers such a gem. I have good news and a couple of things I would love your help with. Questions are below in hot pink.

* The good news is that I finally got a stock version of Android successfully reinstalled. I'm waiting for my 7-day OEM unlock, which is due tomorrow. I'm excited to restart the rooting process and nail it this time!

* One thing I'd love your input with is this: Is it likely that having installed the wrong region-specific version of stock android is causing the phone to ask for a "Network Unlock Code"?

** The region-specific version of stock Android that I successfully installed is for the UK and parts of Europe. That was my best guess (at the time) as to the flavor of stock Android that my phone shipped with. I now know that the region-version I installed was not the correct one.

** When I insert my SIM card, it asks for a Network unlock code. I've not yet successfully gotten past that.

** I bought the phone used from Amazon Warehouse and it was specifically listed as an unlocked phone. When asked about the issue, Amazon tech support believed it wants a SIM card PUK code (from my network provider) in order to unlock.

** I called my cellular phone provider, got my PUK code, entered it, and it didn't work. They believe it is a network lock placed by the phone's previous cellular network provider

** By enlisting the services of CanadaUnlocking.com, I learned that my phone was originally used on the iusacell network in Mexico

** iusacell was purchased by AT&T a few years ago. I contacted AT&T and supplied my IMEI #. They said they don't even have that IMEI on record

** I decided to just pay UnlockBase.com to unlock it for me

** UnlockBase worked on it for a few days and then refunded my money. They weren't clear as to why. One possible implication was that it wasn't even locked to begin with

** I then paid doctorSIM for a blacklist report and it came back clean. The isuacell network was even specifically listed with a green check mark next to it.​

The theory I've come up with to try and explain why the phone is asking for a Network Unlock Code is this: it's simply freaking out because I installed the wrong region-specific version of Android. Is that likely, in your opinion?

Regardless of the root cause, any ideas for unlocking it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
Thanks for the compliments. To be completely honest with you, i have no idea about the network unlock code as operators in my country do not lock the phones, and is illegal to do so.

However, doing a search on the internet shows it is part of the process of unlocking the phone (from network lock).

Do you have this problem when you first receive the phone?

Now that you can confirm your phone is mexican in origin, ISUACELL in particular, you can try to flash in their rom and see if it solves the problem. But i would wait for the unlock code that you will receive tomorrow and use that first.

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-8/firmware/sm-n950f/IUS/

Hopefully this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OneFineGuy:
Now running its native Mexico IUS firmware

Re: "Do you have this problem when you first receive the phone?"

That's a fantastic question. The issue is that I don't know. I didn't insert the SIM card and check for network connectivity before I proceeded to root. I'm normally very methodical, but unfortunately not this time.​

Update:

* Since my last post, I passed the 7-day waiting period for OEM Unlock and the unlock option never appeared. Frustrating.

* Because I now know the exact flavor of the original stock ROM, I then decided to flash it to my phone. I was able to do that without issue. It's now running N950FXXS5CSB4 Firmware, Mexico (IUS)

** Thanks to Sammobile.com for the firmware!​

* However, upon inserting my SIM card it still asks for a Network Unlock Code. I've still been unable to unlock it.

** I was hoping that the Network Unlock issue would disappear because the phone was now running it's mother ROM again (and not even ask for a Network Unlock Code)​

** I did enter my SIM card PUK # but it didn't accept that​

I'd love input on two things:

1. Any ideas as to why the OEM Unlock option never did appear? (i.e., before I flashed it to N950FXXS5CSB4 Firmware)

** The phone had been running continuously over 300 hours (uptime) since reboot​

** Near the beginning, I did log into my Google account on the device​

** Note: I didn't log into a Samsung account on the phone. Maybe that is the problem??​

2. Any suggestions on threads to read (or search terms to use) to get more ideas on how to network unlock this phone?

* I've done a lot of Googling and have run out of ideas
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] centaur31:
hey,

so were you able to sort this out at all or not. the oem unlock usually takes 15 days to reappear in most cases. the rerial no of your device should help you get all details about its origins there is an app called phone info which is very handy to find out all details of your device if you have root then it will give you everything you need to know and can get you into engineering mode too
