Huawei P9 Dual SIM functionality not available

[AC Question]

Hi all, I bought a Huawei P9 and one of the main reasons for this was to use the Dual SIM functionality. But the operator I got it from (MTN South Africa) disabled the Dual SIM Management. The functionality is just not there.

Any idea how I can reload the proper software and what are the steps to do that?

Here the phone details:

Model: EVA-L09
Build Number: EVA-L09C16B138
EMUI Build: EMUI 4.1
Andriod: 6.0

I tried to root the phone and and load a new software, but seems to be a problem with my build number...

I have the same issue with a p9 lite, also from mtn. Have you found a way to enable dual sim functionality?

Hi LeeSanjay
Not yet.. Tried again to root it, but was not successful. This is pretty annoying. No idea why MTN does that...
