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.

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
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

When I bought the XT1789-06, I thought it's a dual SIM version, since there is a lot of webs with specifications for XT1789-06 saying it is dual SIM.
But it looks like XT1789-06 can be both. Dual SIM and also single SIM. Mine is, unfortunately, single SIM, so I am thinking how to change it. The SIM slot inside the phone has pins for two sim cards. Problem is that the tray holder is only for one sim and one micro sd card. So I am thinking to buy a tray holder for two sim cards. Something like this: ebay.com/itm/Dual-SIM-Card-Slot-Holder-Tray-For-Motorola-Moto-Z-Force-Droid-XT1650-02-Black-/172710907197
The question is if I would also have to change the ROM? For which version?

For your Z2 Force, do you put two nano SIM cards in a SIM-and-MicroSD Card Slot Tray Holder?
How stable is SIM #2's signal and reception?
Which XT1789 version is your Z2 Force?
Thanks!

I know A70 is dual SIM. However my 705W variant only has a 1 SIM slot. The 2nd SIM slot tray is covered with a plastic. If I switch my SIM tray with a 2 SIM tray will my phone become dual sim?

yes you could try grarak modified lineage OS build which unlocked the 2st sim card slot , but you could have bands related problems.

But even if it's unlocked via software, can it work without hardware modifications? I mean, do single sim models have a second sim reader inside?
You are asking about hardware modification.
Maybe you can get one of those microsd card + simcard combo module from alibaba.
Couple with it modified firmware, and maybe it would be possible
Is is possible to convert samsung A70 single sim to dual Sim SM 705w model?
It's my first post, hi everyone!
I was wondering whether it's a hardware thing and it's not possible to achieve dual sim support by modifying the software and replacing the N975U single sim+micro sd tray with the hybrid dual sim+micro sd one or it can be done.
I've got the unlocked T-Mobile N975U version, non-root, full stock.
I'll appreciate your support.

AFAIK the SM-N975U does not support dual sim. Has only a single SIM card slot. Changing just the SIM tray does not change the built in hardware on the mainboard.
