Hello,
I have Samsung A5 2017 Single Sim (SM-A520F) and I want to know if I can convert it to Samsung A5 2017 Dual Sim (SM-A520F/DS).
If the answer is yes can you tell me how?
If install the firmware from SM-A520F/DS in my phone and use the right sim holder (sim+sd card) will be ok?
I have two phone numbers and I can't use two phones all the time.
P.S. In Europe Official Samsung A5 is the SM-A520F
Thanks for your time.

I doubt it. The phone must have the hardware to read 2 SIMs. Not as eady as putting a SIM caddy. Not sure if the SS device has that hardware in place. The Moto X Play did, but dual SIM can only be done with two IMEIs. Furthermore, the legality of such a system varies from country to country
You could buy a Dual sim Adapter
I want to know...if someone has a DS version can they use a 520F firmwire!?

Hi guys
I known that this A5 2017 model have two types.
1) A520F - Single SIM model
2) A520F/DS - Dual SIM model
I have question of Dual SIM model and single sim model firmware compatibility.
Q#1)What if i flashed Single sim firmware (EX)AU-Vodafone, CSC:VAU) on dual sim hardware model (A520F/DS),
Is it working only Single sim mode? or it can working Dual sim mode even Single sim firmware(VAU)?
Q#2) if Q#1 is true and flashed Single sim firmware then restore to Dual sim firmware (like India, Taiwan, UAE regions firmware will support Dual SIM),
Is it restored fully dual sim mode from Single sim firmware ? I am worrying if i flashed Single sim firmware then back to Dual sim firmware, modem(Like IMEI #1, #2)/baseband information lost or not
and bootloader locked by previous(Single sim) flashed bootloader. Also it it void Knox warranty? I known that official firmware cross flash is not void know warranty, is it correct?
Thank you
Just flash with odin, know will not be triggered by flashing official firmware.
Just test it, u won't lose ur data en if anything went wrong just flash your stock firmware back.

Hi, have you root Single SIM to DUAL Sim ? And you bought new holder for second SIM and everything is ok? Which FW have did you use?
Hello there,
Recently I bought a Samsung A5 2017 in Indonesia (model dual sim) and would like to know if it's possible to put a french firmware (so a firmware of SM-A520F) on SM-A520F/DS model?
Thanks for your help

It would be wiser to use dual sim firmware rather than single sim firmware

Thanks but I don't find any dual sim firmware even on Sammobile....
Is there a risk of brick if I flash with a single sim firmware? Or maybe there's another solution?

I was worried too but I tried to use the normal a520f firmware and it worked fine.
BTW Some apps may not work because they will assume you are rooted eg. S HEALTH and secret mode on browser but you can actually root to get around this by editing a line in build.prop
I'm on the same boat, only with the A3: I've bought my phone as an A320F/DS (that's what the box says, and indeed it has double SIM), but when you check Settings--»About phone--»Model name, it only says A320F (without the DS). And then when you look for firmware updates in Samsung website, you only find for the A320F. Might it be that A320F/DS is only a second, alternative denomination for the A320F, being both identical? (Same would happen with the A7.)

It's one year since your question, but still my answer may help others:
I've flashed a SM-A320F stock firmware on my SM-A320F/DS and it works perfectly. I believe that the A series firmwares are exactly the same for single SIM and dual SIM models.
In trying to sort this out for the s7 g935f/ds, I believe I was told that indeed the F firmware is the correct firmware for both 1 and 2 sim models. There was no FDS firmware at all.
I have ordered the dual sim version of the note 8. Naturally EE uk offer volte only on phones bought from them... Could be possible to flash the carrier firmware that support only one sim on the dual sim version?
Thank you

Wha? No Note 8.0 ever go dual sim variants, even in the UK, which are phablets. Being 3 year old hardware, the only custom ROMs worth while now have modem updates but are limited to the carrier info. You would need to provision with a proper simple from the provider you intend on usingl

My question is simple, can I flash the single sim firmware on the dual sim version of the phone?

My answer was simple, don't flash our firmware to your dual sim Chinese Note 8.0. You'll brick it!

Nope never was a dual sim Note 8.0! Go get educated before you post anything more on the Note 8.0 threads. Obviously you don't know any of these tablets.

Then why are you posting on a tablet section asking such questions! Douch bag!
Hello dear friends,
I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy S9.
The only model avalaiable available here is the dual sim version(G960F/DS)
The question is...the custom ROM`s that are available for the single sim version(G960F) are compatible with the dual sim version(G960F/DS)?
Yes
*Detection* said:
Yes

Ok, thank you. I was affraid to buy the dual sim version due the lack of XDA support for that model. But, if the custom ROM`s are compatible, I will buy it.
I just arrived galaxy s9 sm-g960n from korea. Now I want to use dual sim with it. Is possible to flashing the rom with android 10? How can I do this method. Any idea?

Sorry... Just checked twice. But the sm-g960n is a single SIM model. No hybrid dual sim available. Regardless what firmware you will flash.
