Flash a second imei to a dual sim phone - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi guys,
On surfing the web I found a pretty interesting article Chinamobiles - unfortunately only in German according to it, it is possible to flash a second Imei number to a dual sim phone with only one Imei.
Now, I have flashed my single SIM Huawei p9 lite to become dual SIM with a tool from here on xda-developers. Thus I only have one Imei, whereas the original p9 lite dual sim phones have two.
I've found tools here to change the Imei of a phone, but nothing, also not on the web, on how to add an Imei. - Only that it's possible.
Does anyone know a tool to do that?
Has anybody done it or has experience with it?
Thanks in advance for your answers,
Seth

Dual sim firmware for A320FL?

Hi Guys,
been a lurker for a while and have a question that i cannot seem to find answers to. thought the XDA gods might assist.
Is it possible to install the dual sim firmware on the A320FL and if so then how and does the A320FL contain the hardware to read the second sim ( I don't even know if i'm asking the right question . My lack of knowledge is obvious)

the sim tray on single sim model does not allow to add another sim, even if pins are existing on the board.
So at this point, we are limited by the sim tray and software, to get dual-sim

moto z2 force dual sim settings?

I recently got my Moto Z2 Force bootloader unlocked and rooted. I was messing around with a Quick Settings app and found a dual SIM settings. I was wondering if this phone does come in a dual SIM variant or if it could be made into a dual SIM phone I have the T-Mobile Edition.
The wizard was able to launch. the other settings shortcuts are not working they keep force closing.
You can follow the procedure for the Moto Z to modify build.prop and changing out the modem file for the dual sim variant.
Method 1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/guide-to-enable-dualsim-singlesim-t3594529
Method 2: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/guide-dual-sim-mod-signle-sim-moto-z-t3606528
Test it out and let us know what happens. I don't own this device, but if it works, I might own it soon. Remember to make backups.
I look through those links you gave me. I'd be willing to give it a try but there's no official TWRP currently meaning that there is no definite way back if I mess up. If there is dumped images I can Flash with fastboot to recover if something goes wrong I would be willing to give it a try.
The files for the modem are in the same location as the Moto Z and Z play also I need to figure out how I am going to get the second sim to be secured in the sim tray

The second method doesn't require modifying system files and everything is done via fastboot and adb. As far as securing the second sim, could you post what the sim tray looks like? My last Moto device was the Moto X Pure, which was stolen in the Philippines. If anyone in the Philippines wants to help me recover it, please PM me.
Here is what the tray looks like I'll do some testing tonight when I get home
Usually Motorola ships their phones with the same sim tray as their international dual sim variants, except with the second sim slot covered up.
When I was messaging Motorola's support today they said the us version is single sim only but there is a different sim tray for the dual SIM version that is available outside the us. I still have to call in and verify over the phone and see if it can be ordered
So when I called in they said that there is not a dual-sim capable after it's been registered in a US Network and then they wouldn't answer my question if I could even get a dualsim tray so I guess I can't

In Italy we have carrier TIM which is selling single SIM (unlocked) @ about 685,00 €.
Unbranded are dual SIM in most of EU markets but prices are high and availability is low: in Italy Amazon sell them @ about 990,00 €, while on other EU markets best prices could be 850,00 €, rarely less....
I've got mine from a *very good* German seller on eBay... they still have one available @ about 715,00 € shipped which is a *great* price to date...
Hello guys.
I have xt1789 03 variant. It's a single Sim but I was wondering what if I put another Sim and give it a try.
I did and it detected another Sim as well.
It was working flawlessly but when I heard that some of the other variant roll out pie update and people are using it.
I try to flash the pie ROM and it flashed successfully but the problem I am getting now is that the IMEI I had on the phone shows 0
I tried to revert it back to stock Oreo and noughat but after flashing I got baseband unknown wifi and Sim signals lost. Even Bluetooth was not working.
I am wondering if there is a way That I could revert it back to Oreo or noughat so I will have the old baseband and working wifi and both the Sims.
Please help me out so I could get my Moto z2 force back to original condition.
Right now what I did for getting the wifi back I flashed the modem NON-HLOS.bin
I lost the sim signals.
Bootloader unlocked

Question IMEI

Dear all;
I have a question about the Lenovo P2 and the IMEI. I bought a Lenovo P2 from China with a P2a42 Firmware. The phone works perfectly here in Colombia (covers all 2g, 3g and 4g bands) but it was blocked because the Lenovo P2 is not homologated and to do so, it is necessary to show an FDD certificate (which does not exist). So after days of investigating, I just discovered that the only way to make my Lenovo P2 work again here in Colombia is by changing the IMEI. To do that, I have done the next things:
- Unlocked the bootloader
- Installed the TWRP
- Rooted the phone with magic scan
Now, I think I am near to do my lasts steps, but I have not find information about changing the IMEI in this phone. Do you know something about that? is there any chance to do that?
Thank you very much indeed.

Samsung J6 (sm-j600fn). Ready for Dual SIM ?

Hi,
I have a SM-j600FN and I know that the model for dual sim would be SM-j600FN/DS.
My doubt if the SM-j600FN have the hardware for support the second sim or somebody have converted to dual-sim? I searched but I have find nothing. My next step is buy the second tray for dual sim or convert my current second tray for accept the sim (the default cannot be used)
Update: I have installed a second sim and obviously the device/rom don't recognize

Thanks & regards,
I bought this J6 today and was kind of surprised it has dual sim for such a low price.
It has a tray for a simcard only and a tray for memory card + 2nd simcard.
Too bad i only have an old no (longer active) sim card as my second to test, but when insert it recognises the card and the provider shows up and when i want to make a call i get 2 phone icons and i can decide which simcard i want to use.
Thanks for your answer.
Could you say me the exact model of your J6 please?
I suspicious that my phone have a rom modified by my provider (Vodafone) and lock the second tray. I did the same test than you and the phone didn't recognize/detect the sim card.
Regards.

I have updated the rom via Odin with PHE rom and in SW's provider I see PHE/PHE/ATL instead of ATL/ATL/ATL and the second sim tray is not detected too. I guess that my hardware is not compatible with dual seem
some other experience?
regards and thanks.
