Hello. I bought a Xiaomi MI 10 Global version (not active SIM 2 with stock ROM). I installed the ROM from xiaomi.eu enabling the second SIM. The problem is that the IMEI 2 del SIM 2 is in a different range from the IMEM 1 of the phone, and also checking in the national registry, the IMEI 2 is already associated with another mobile of the same model (Xiaomi 10). How is this possible?

Hello. I bought a Xiaomi MI 10 Global version (not active SIM 2 with stock ROM). I installed the ROM from xiaomi.eu enabling the second SIM. The problem is that the IMEI 2 del SIM 2 is in a different range from the IMEM 1 of the phone, and also checking in the national registry, the IMEI 2 is already associated with another mobile of the same model (Xiaomi 10). How is this possible?
In my case, the IMEI 2 is registered in my country to another Xiaomi MI 10 device.
Bad luck, Many Xiaomi MI 10 in the World, and the second IMEI is registered in the same country.
In your case, what do you do? Do you write to Xiaomi?
I know that the global version only comes with a single SIM / IMEI, but Xiaomi know that the most users install a custom based ROM of MIUI, and cannot offer phones with a second SIM / IMEI duplicated.
I don't think so, I cannot find it. I wonder why, because it was working fine while I was on the chinese rom.
So after much reading it seems it is possible for Global versions to flash Indian roms and then relock bootloader WITHOUT bricking. Read this for details: https://c.mi.com/thread-2584760-1-1.html
Indian MI 10's are dual sim, and there are many reports of people switching to Indian rom and getting dual sim capability in their Global MI 10's.
If re-locking the bootloader indeed will not brick the device, as indicated through several sources, then by moving to Indian roms we can have fully functioning and forever SafetyNet passing phone.
Thoughts? Anyone have experience doing this?

Can I ask why you would want to flash the Indian rom rather than the excellent xiaomi.eu rom which has dual sim working on the global version of the mi 10
I would much prefer to use the xiaomi.eu rom.
However, I can't pass safetynet with an open bootloader unless I flash persist.img (and this workaround probably won't work for long) - and even if I do this, I lose widevine l1, something I don't want to do.
Other option root and magisk also isn't guaranteed to work for much longer.
India rom is not ideal, but is only way to get dual SIM and guarantee safetynet always passes.
Safety net and widevine L1 are available on xiaomi.eu. If your having problems it's likely that an earlier flash went wrong. You can try using the mi flash tool and go back to stock then flash xiaomi.eu this way you should get dual sim, widevine L1 and safetynet passed. I'm on the latest weekly build and have all three on my global xiaomi mi 10
Many banking apps check for bootloader unlocked - other banking apps maybe don't, but many do.
Safetynet is important for the apps I frequently use. Once hardware based safety checks are rolled out, if xiaomi.eu find a way to pass safetynet then I will definitely use the rom, but in the meantime it is too much hassle for something google could end at any moment.
Great, but once hardware based checks come in you won't pass safety net with an unlocked bootloader. Could be tomorrow could be next month, could be in a few months. But it's coming. I personally don't want the hassle of having to undo everything and reflash a new ROM once hardware based checks are introduced. I'm sure a lot of others agree.
Hello,
I saw you use two sim cards on your mi 10 pro, so i'm wondering il i buy a global version on mi 10 pro 8G/256G with these bands :
4G: FDD-LTE :B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28/B32 and flash it with an eu.rom for example do the dual sim tray works ??
Tthanks
Hello,
I plan to buy the xiaomi mi 10 pro 8G / 256G as a global version or china rom with these following characteristics:
4G: FDD-LTE: B1 / B2 / B3 / B4 / B5 / B7 / B8 / B20 / B28 / B32
If I flash the phone, will I have the dual sim with the same bands and working ? I use Freemobile 4G bands (B28)
Regards,

Yes. But keep in mind that Global version has different 4G bands than China version. Pick the one that is more compatible in your country.

Really, no I will receive mine in about 2 weeks from AliExpress.60 day estimate shipping for dual SIM Card holed
Does anyone know if sim tray can be used from another phone? Even with changes? For example the sim tray of oneplus 7 looks quite a lot.
You can try if you have a friend who can lend you one. Otherwise, just buy the sim tray for mi 10/pro (single or dual sim) online.
