@nguyenlucky,

Alternatively, they do not 'confess' flashing ROM and changing CSC have been done, and they don't realize activating 2 physical sims makes the esim deactivated.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
They probably use this method
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Mine is bought from Samsung, with CSC XSA, but still 1 physical sim like the carrier versions.

I guess Samsung Australia has some kinds of deals with the three big carriers here (Telstra, Vodafone, Optus) that make them sell single sim version even for unbranded devices. Here, non-eSIM devices (like S20 FE, A53) is single SIM with single IMEI.

I made some research in other markets selling the global S918B model (Africa, Asia, Latin America, New Zealand, Europe, etc.). Only Samsung Australia sells the global model with single SIM. Everywhere else is dual SIM.

If that's the case then f*** Samsung Australia for sucking up to the carriers lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
From my research, it seems like only rooting and changing something in /efs/imei/factory.prop will enable dual physical sim with esim. However I don't want to trip Knox
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 3AAAATWSW:
Further research has been done. The possibility that treaders change CSC or flash S918B/DS's ROM is low.

Just guess your Australia location or your Australia carrier sim card "Amay" results in some mechanism to block your second physical sim card.

Could you please confirm the situation in Vietnam through the shop owner? Maybe S9(0/1)8B can activate 2 physical sims in any country except Australia.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
The owner confirmed that it's still single physical SIM with eSIM, even when he inserts only Vietnamese SIM.

Can you check what CSC they are currently using, and does it have Knox 0x0?

P/S: S918B and S918B/DS actually use the same ROM, like S908E and S908E/DS. I can change CSC or flash ROM of any S918B(DS) region I want and have all the CSC features. But second SIM is never available. I guess the dual sim config is somewhere in the EFS partition, which is unique to each device and contains IMEI, SN, MAC Address...

There have been a lot of Australian carriers S908E being sold in second hand shops in Vietnam. I guess they all come from Chinese distributors who collect them from used carrier devices. All of them have CSC changed to WWD for dual physical SIM, but with all the disadvantages that I have listed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Australian telcos have a lot of power just like in the US. Most people here buy phones through the big 3 telcos here. Samsung is the only non-Google Android brand here who exclusively sells single physical SIMs. Other brands like Oppo, Nokia, Motorola... are all dual physical SIMs. (I don't count Google Pixel since they are single physical SIM everywhere in the world).

For Oppo, their telco devices are single-SIM, but unbranded ones are dual-SIM. I tried an unbranded Find X5 Pro and it has dual physcial SIM and eSIM.

Hence, the only reason for Samsung to sell single SIM devices is telcos.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 3AAAATWSW:
You may be right. Tried to "interrogate" those traders. Although they evaded to answer whether did they change anything, they confirmed the knox is still 0x0.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Can you test one device and see if this line says WWD/WWD/WWD....?

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] varcor:
If you want a dual physical sim device then buy one. You're kicking a dead horse attempting to convert your device into a dual physical sim smartphone. Samsung has a lot of variations within the same model number, always a good idea to do the research BEFORE you purchase their device.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
I did my research BEFORE buying it. NO ONE EVER MENTIONED the things that I discovered. Everything that I discovered elsewhere happened AFTER I bought the device. For example, used Australian devices were not in Chinese and Vietnamese market yet, at that time.

Also, I AM NOT KICKING A DEAD HORSE. Converting single sim to dual sim device HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE, WITH ROOT. I am just finding out if the system shell exploit will allow me to do the same thing.

Be grateful that I shared my experience with others. Harsh words won't solve anything.

P/S: I am using an Oppo Find X2 Pro Single Sim converted to Dual sim. Everything works, without root. The procedure is in this link. So what I am looking for IS NOT UNREASONABLE.

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-switc...de-to-coloros-11-and-enable-dual-sim.4191787/

I can sell the S23u Australian version and buy the Vietnamese dual sim version when I come back to Vietnam, but that will be the last resort.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 3AAAATWSW:
@nguyenlucky,

Got the truth. Treaders changed the CSC to WWD which is the same as what you did. F***. Then, not OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Damn, I thought they got some black magic lol
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] 冬尽了:
This reply comes from China. For these S918Bs from Australia, if you don’t flash the ROM package of the third-party author, you can only use the single physical card. After flashing the ROM flashing package of the third-party author, you can use the dual physical card. I am using this kind of mobile phone myself, and I also tried to implement dual physical cards under the official ROM without flashing the phone, but they all failed. I can only flash the third-party ROM flashing package to achieve it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Can you send me your ```/efs/imei/factory.prop``` file? Remove any sensitive information (like IMEI, Mac address, SN number,...)

I want to look for a possible dual sim config in this file, but it's impossible without root.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] pjaysnowden:
Have you tried flashing EUX full firmware...and not just the CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Doesn't work
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] pjaysnowden:
Fair enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Actually EUX and XSA, XXV use the exact same firmwares, down to each file (BL, AP, CP, CSC). Active CSC is then determined by a file in EFS (a non-firmware partition). I tried flashing EUX anyway and it doesn't make any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] pjaysnowden:
It was worth a try.

Hey bro i bought a sm-918B/DS too , but it have 2 physical sim , my question is can you unlock oem on sm-918B/DS
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Just an update, I was told it's possible to enable the second SIM slot with a special box called Samsung Anyway, which is meant for technicians. I sold the device already and went back to my old Find X2 pro with dual SIM. The single SIM + eSIM really drove me crazy.

Perhaps I will go back to the S23 when I visit my home country, where the dual sim version is sold.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tomking130:
You have the same problem as me. I bought FOLD5 SM-F946B a few days ago and used: WeiLai ROM. I can use dual SIM cards. I downloaded the original system, but there are only 1-SIM and ESIM in my phone, and there are no two IMEIs displayed.I haven't found a way either!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Wel you got the special B version for Aussies with single physical SIM. If you check the Service Provider Software Version, it's likely to be one of TEL, VAU, OPS or XSA.

Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tomking130:
I paid 50CNY and I can use dual SIM, the difference is that the esim is gray and I have two phone numbers on my IMEI 1 at the same time, I can't see what he did, but I can indeed use dual SIM in the 946B version.About the mobile phone display is 946B/DS
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] slayer03:
Where did you find a guy to do this? Taobao? I have a S23U HK version, so without esim unfortunately, if there is a way to activate it I would be very happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
He probably changed the CSC to WWD, which I don't recommend. You lose OTA and sim manager. You can do that yourself, for free, using samfw tool.

Just look at the Service provider software version line, see what it says.

For the HK version, no you won't have eSIM unfortunately. It shares hardware SKU with China model, where eSIM is banned.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] slayer03:
Thanks. Such a pity... I bought HK version instead of China version to have Google and esim, at least I have Google...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
China, Taiwan and HK version are the same (S9180), you can crossflash their firmwares....

If you don't live in these countries, why did you buy S9180 though? S23 series is Qualcomm globally
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] slayer03:
I'm in China actually, but I'm foreigner, so I need all Google and this kind of stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] iceepyon:
Yeah, that is my 5 cents too. I know that in the past dual SIM devices were mainly sold in Asia.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
These are all the regions that the B version is sold. Only AUSTRALIA is single physical SIM.

Special version for Aussies indeed

So when we change our active CSC with SamFW Tool, we are editing a file in EFS (on a non-firmware partition)?

Or did you mean device CSC, which AFAIK, cannot be changed even with root.

View attachment 6119125
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Yes, SamFW uses some AT commands to change Active CSC written in /efs/factory/mps_code.dat

That file only contains the Active CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] yzzijnr:
I just wish there's a command like this on SamFW to enable dual sim without rooting the phone, or if there's any way to edit those files to activate dual sim without rooting or by using a pc software get into the root directory~, you can teach us bro thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
No you can't, it's something much deeper, only a special Samsung tool can access it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tomking130:
Use SamFW to enable your dual SIM by changing CSC to WWD. Note: Android 13, if it is 14, you can try it. Restart the phone after the change. If there is no dual sim, try to plug and unplug the SIM card tray..
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] first_qbpq:
I found that the Australian version of Samsung has changed the hidden eSIM to a dual physical card store. I don't know how they did it. They changed the eSIM logo to look like a dual physical card and claimed to support flashing and OTA. I found it on Taobao.It can be achieved by simply flashing the device
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
That's correct. I knew about that before. The seller has to have access to some internal Samsung tools, and need to be skilled enough not to trip Knox.

Australia don't have these kinds of technician though, and I don't want to ship my device to China...

I'm happy with my Vietnamese S928B/DS now, dual physical sim and dual esim even after changing to Aussie CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Can you share me the taobao link?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] slayer03:
Also interested by the Taoabao store. Will ask if they have a way to activate (if it has) the esim on the S9180 HK version.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
No, HK version shares the same hardware with Chinese version, both of which don't have eSIM in hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Someone told me, in Vietnam, you can have an official technician in a service center to do it, if you know the right person, with a small bribery (you know, Vietnam is home to two Samsung smartphone factories). I don't know anyone though.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] slayer03:
Such a pity...

Last week I was happy to find on Taobao a sim card which is a esim card (the name is 5ber), so you could have esim compatibility with any phone.

But I read on Reddit, then confirmed directly with 5ber, if you put their sim card in a Samsung phone with One UI 6 (so from Android 14), you lose your IMEI and don't have network anymore. The solution was to downgrade to Android 13 to have your IMEI back, but since the last update we can't downgrade anymore... So still no solution...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Lol, sell your S9180 and buy an S918B/DS then. Make sure it's not the Aussie version, or you will need to send it to China for dual sim conversion :ROFLMAO:

I asked a second hand seller in Vietnam and he told me the Chinese technicians won't share the dual sim conversion method for Aussie devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] slayer03:
Indeed change the phone would be the solution. It's just I don't use my 3rd sim card everyday, so I can live without the esim, it's just annoying sometimes.

Next phone I buy I will check the website of the country from where I plan to buy to be sure there is esim. But the crazy thing is before buying I talked to a Samsung seller in China, he told me that if I was buying it in HK I would have esim. When I came back to told him I couldn't find how to activate the esim, he was shocked to discover that there was no esim.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
For flagship samsung devices, only xxx0 devices (China, HK, Taiwan) devices don't have eSIM.

If you want dual physical sim and esim, check out the list of countries that sell the B model on samfw, like this:

Avoid Australia and you should be good. Usually SEA countries have the best price.

Fun fact, the Americans often import B/DS devices from Latin America if they want dual physical SIM.

My next Samsung will definitely will be a xxxB. But when I see all the regional restrictions from Samsung, it makes me want to try another brand.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Rabbi_RN10promax:
Hello. I have unlocked my bootloader last night and flashed my redmi note 10 pro max through fastboot mode today. After flashing xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote10Pro_V14.0.2.0.TKFMIXM_v14-13 rom, my phone started rebooting, MIUI 14 logo appears but suddenly it went into recovery mode directly within 04-05 seconds. Now if I reboot the phone, it opens but after 04-05 seconds it again went into recovery mode. I tried wipe out and safe mode option too. The scenario is the same for both cases. Asking for your help regarding this
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
I think you dl'd the global stable, not EEA for EU. You want the 14.0.3.0 for EU.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Rabbi_RN10promax:
yes may be. what to do now? how can i flash any other rom?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
Put on your phone and try the Apply Update from your recovery. I believe it looks in the downloaded_rom folder in Downloads on internal SD.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Rabbi_RN10promax:
There is no such things like apply update in the recovery mode.

how can i flash custom recovery without turning on USB Debugging? as I can't open my mobile right now I ain't able to turn on the usb debugging. please suggest

View attachment 5933739View attachment 5933739
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
Correction. The downloaded_rom folder is not in Downloads, but beside it in the root of internal C. Try creating that folder in Windows with the phone connected and put the file in there then reboot and see if it installs automatically. If not or you do not see the phone in Windows, then you can flash the version of TWRP for your phone using the official TWRP source location and install from it. You stated it is unlocked already, and USB Debugging may not be a problem since this is a stock MIUI ROM. Use the 3.7.x from twrp.me.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pnin:
Can you still get fastboot? If that case, I'd revert to stock with MiFlash and start again...
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Rabbi_RN10promax:
I can get to fastboot mode. but as my usb debugging is off, my pc doesn’t recognize my device.what to do then?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pnin:
Don't quote me on this, but I think MiFlash doesn't need USB debug, only the right drivers.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Rabbi_RN10promax:
will try then. thanks!
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
Try flashing TWRP without USB Debugging from fastboot. It might work. Then you can flash your install file inside it, which being MIUI, it should not require USB Debugging either.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] malinconico543:
hello, to use fastboot you don't need usb debugging, usb debugging works with user confirmation only with the system started, instead, in custom recovery it works automatically, if you want to restore your smartphone, you can do it by downloading the latest miui fastboot for your device from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/

once you download the right package (be careful what you download!), you will have to flash the rom via fastboot, you can use mi flash if you are comfortable with it, be careful with the options below, if you leave "flash and lock" it will flash, but it will lock the bootloader, if you don't want to lock it, select "clean all". good luck
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] charlymoon:
Hello, I've had my poco x3 pro since march 2022 and haven't had any problems with it until recently, some specific apps such as games, discord or facebook messenger have started to fail to establish connection either while on wifi connection or while using mobile data, (usually most of them don't connect while on wifi, but some like messenger won't connect on either), any idea how to fix this? I already trying reseting my network settings but it didn't work, I'm thinking that maybe I should try to just factory reset but I wanted to try to ask first
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] chiteroman:
If you have an unlocked bootloader, backup your data and flash the latest fastboot Global ROM. If the issue persists, maybe your hardware is damaged.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] charlymoon:
sadly I never unlocked it before, I started the process a moment ago so I guess I'll have to wait 7 days :')

So what had happened was..

I installed twrp in recovery and was trying to get nethunter installed. Initially 'fastboot devices' was showing the device and 'adb devices' wasnt showing the device.. but 'adb logcat' had output. After several combinations of roms and bootloaders not working I took a break. Apparently the last combination of installs gave me a new problem. Now 'adb devices' shows devices and 'fastboot devices' doesn't. When I lsusb it shows a nexus 4.. not a 6p.

Its pretty simple to be honest. Here is the panel for anyone that wants to take a look and have a mess about:

Download

Icons taken from http://www.iconarchive.com/category/system/the-last-order-icons-by-rokey.html

Current Bugs

Camera doesn't seem to launch, however it is told to run CameraRunner.exe. When CamerRunner.exe is ran independantly the exe launches the camera, just won't run from the panel

Current Problems with HTML Panels

Maximum height of panel content can only be as tall as the landscape view of the panel....

hopefully that encourage more panels to be developed, at least a designer panel, never mind it's just a collection of shortcuts :D
