G8341 convert to dual sim G8342

[Ketuk74]

Hi all, I have a Xz1 dual G8342 brand new within a month motherboard wrecked by water, bought a battered but working Xz1 single sim with the view to rebuild into my caseing etc. I am convinced there must be a way to make it dual sim capable.

So far I have manged to flash it from G8341 to G8342 no problem but the dual sim menu won't work and it won't register sim 2.

Any input on what to do next? Cheers Chris

On a single xz premium, it was solved by replacing the sim tray with 2 sim cards and the firmware from the dual sim version and everything worked.

No such luck in this case , used the sim tray from the dual with 2 cards , flashed dual sim firmware which is running fine just dose not detect the second sim, so all second sim menus are present but unavalible.

Also was there not a problem due to needing a second IEMI number ?
