Dual sim a916 not working ?

Question

What you need is to flash another ROM to the phone. There's one called A916 S1205 141013 which can be downloaded from needrom dot com (but you need to sign up as a member first) This gives full dual-SIM, dual standby, but only after you also key in the code  * # * # 5448264 # * # * on the phone pad.  This now shows both signal strengths and you can make and answer calls from either (and texts). When you make a call, you get an easy two-way button to choose which network to use. Check your phone with Malwarebytes - mine was shown to have 4 items of malware in....get this.... the Lenovo apps which of course makes them un-deletable normally. This left me no alternative but to 'root' the phone so I could delete the offending apps, and Malwarebytes confirms no more nasties on my phone. Of course, I'll never know if the original firmware had malware as I never thought to check - it was only while I was reading reviews on the UK Amazon site that I heard about this. BTW, you do know that Sim 2 is only 2G capable don't you?

I bought a new a916 and one of the main reasons was because it has a dual sim option I have installed my main sim which is O2 and my second sim is EE on orange can I get some confirmation as to why this is is it becausecit has Chinese firmware and not English and if I can change to an English firmware to make it work andcif so where can obtain the new firmware thanks.
