[GUIDE] Automatic dual sim switching on latest official OTA

Search This thread
I had success. Oneplus 5 with Pie
I discovered that with Pie it is necessary another step between 2 and 3, because the step 2 now gives .cdex files (compact dex) instead of the .dex files, and jadx (at least the versions I tried) can read only .dex files.
In the github page of vdexExtractor I found a section about the vdexExtractor#compact-dex-converter, that is necessary to convert .cdex to .dex.
I used the Linux x86-64 - Statically compiled binaries, the shared libraries version didn't work on my Virtual Machine with linux Mint (I have only windows 10 on my pc)
Using that converter I obtained the .dex files that jadx can read and follow step 3 and 4 of the guide.
I hope to be of some help

Awesome!
At last, I tried this before but gave up, I had it working before Pie, but have been toggling it on and odd manually since Pie.
This time I got it and for my Oneplus 5 it was 176.
I used compact_dex_converters but that produced a filename like .cdex.new, I renamed that to .dex and opened it with jadx-gui and did a search with "Code" ticked, just to clarify for others.

Took forever, but finally got it working. All via Windows. I have a OnePlus 5T and my number was also 176. OS vers 9.0.9
-Used latest vdexExtractor.exe from https://github.com/fOmey/vdexExtractor/tree/master/bin
-Then referenced kevinminions9 post from https://github.com/anestisb/vdexExtractor/issues/23 to download the android version of the converter tool, and then followed the directions to push the converter and pull the dex files back to my laptop
-Couldn't get Jadx working for some reason, so used "Bytecode-Viewer" to find the magic number using the path mentioned in the OP

Has anyone found the command line for android 11?
The command line above worked fine for a Oneplus 8 running Android 10, but couldn't find the number for the new version.

There goes for Android11 , works on NORD , not checked but last digit 1 should be replaced with 0 for sim1
service call isub 41 i32 1 i32 1 (enable sim2)
service call isub 41 i32 0 i32 1 (disable sim2)

Sorry but it doesn't work with the Op8. Do you have the source of your information so that I can work on the subject?

Assuming you have root , can you try this -
su shell -c 'service call isub 41 i32 0 i32 1'

This should disable sim2.

You can decompile framework.jar , all source is there for how this code is called.

Thanks, works kind of (on Nord), however it turns on or off sim1 instead of sim2, easy fix would be to swap the cards :p
Allthough that will make for some calls from the wrong number as I have had them the other way around for a couple of years on the OnePlus 5.
Changing the last digit to 0 does nothing for me.

Also, I did have to use
Bash:
su shell -c 'service call isub 41 i32 0 i32 1'
as a Run Shell command in Tasker for it to work on my Nord.

Just play with these 3 commands , any 2 will disable your 2 sim cards -
su shell -c 'service call isub 41 i32 0 i32 1'
su shell -c 'service call isub 41 i32 0 i32 2'
su shell -c 'service call isub 41 i32 0 i32 0'

and to enable that sim , replace the 0 in between of command with 1.

For me first 2 commands work for disabling sim , although command ending with 1 disables sim2 while command ending with 2 disables sim1. It is because the 1,2 at end are sub id values. You can know what value is assigned to your sim card , you can run in dialler *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information.

    TL;DR:
    You need root.
    Shell command with root privileges to toggle sim programatically:
    Code:
    service call phone 162 i32 x i32 y
    Where x is 0 for SIM1 and 1 for SIM2, and y is 0 to disable and 1 to enable.
    For example:
    Code:
    service call phone 162 i32 1 i32 0
    will disable SIM2 and
    Code:
    service call phone 162 i32 1 i32 1
    will enable it.

    Longer version, and how to find the magic "162" number:
    You need:
    1. vdexExtractor
    2. jadx

    Step by step:
    1. Pull /system/framework/arm64/boot-framework.vdex
    2. extract it with vdexExtractor, you should get some dex classfiles.
    3. Open them with jadx and find the one that contains com.android.internal.telephony.ITelephony
    4. Navigate to the class with jadx and locate the value of TRANSACTION_setSimPowerStateForSlot, this is your magic number.

    After you have the command you can use for example Tasker to enable and disable the SIM card.
    The only downside of using this method is that major Android version bumps will most likely break this, as the numbers vary from android build to android build.

    for what reason someone need to do such thing?

    My reason is that I only want to be reached on my work number during work hours. So in my case I disable sim2 at 1600 when I go home from work, and then I enable it right before I start working again.
    The apps available for this don't work on my phone (opo5) so this was the only way I could find.
