Anyone thought about doing a stock kernel for the US996 that enables the FM radio? I think there are some other libs needed too. I'm willing to test if someone can come up with a flashable zip for it. I'd build it myself if I had the slightest idea how.
Any ideas anyone?
Will your us996 unlock the software is us99610a ?? Are not used lg bridge check update ?? show (can not check the software version try again)
Thx
I have been trying as well with fm related files from tmobile based rom postings, but no luck yet. To answer hehelle, lg bridge reports it cannot check software. Hopefully it is due to no update and not fact that the phone is unlocked / rooted (cutting off all future updates).
Mine says software version US99610d, I've got the carrier unlocked version. Didn't come with FM radio installed. Updates says nothing new yet.

Same software version here and no FM radio. Also I'm missing the option to always hide my phone number when calling. From searching, I see that many of the carrier locked versions have this option. Any idea how I can get it on the US996? Will rooting the phone allow me to enable this option?
Just rooting won't enable that, I think. That said, I have that setting on mine and it works. I had to go into dialer settings ( from the dialer) and then try Additional settings at the bottom of the list. I had to go in and out a few times to get it to read, but it does work.

Really? I'm missing the Additional Settings. Does this have to do with not yet having a carrier? (I have no SIM card in my US996 yet. Haven't decided on a carrier.) May I ask what carrier and plan you ended up going with?
Yeah, not having a SIM card in would probably affect that. I'm on straight talk with a 'bring your own phone' ATT banded SIM. The rates aren't bad and it works pretty much everywhere. I got the unlimited plan.

I have the unlocked version and am running it on T-Mobile. It does have the block phone number setting but NO FM radio. Also have to "unhide" the wi-fi calling feature as it does NOT appear in settings.

So there is wifi calling for tmobile on the unlocked version, you just have to use an app to search for it? That is huge for me as I will just order the unlocked open box off BH and save $100.
If your your rooted and have twrp you can flash this zip, found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-natf-1-00-test-5-debloated-stock-t3509750

It IS important! Download "Quick Shortcut Maker." Search for wi-fi calling and create a shortcut icon. You'll see it under "Call Services." Seems to work perfectly!!

Negative.
I have flashed this with stock rooted and now a deodexed test rom and can't get the FM radio to "turn on" - also the FM radio service crashes.
We need something more than the APKs flashed in TWRP. =(
Works well for me on LS997 model LGV20
I flashed my phone with this custom rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-ls997-stock-debloated-su-goodies-t3531923
then using twrp in recovery mode, I did 'install' and chose the fm radio zip in this thread.
After I booted the phone again, I can confirm the fm radio app starts okay, and the FM radio itself turns on successfully when I have my headphones plugged in. All looks great!
Thanks!
Hrm, has anyone tried this on the VS995 with one of the custom kernels?

Looks like the wishes of many here have been heard.
Looks like the radios locked out via software might get an official switch on. No way for the hardware hacks to be reversed. At least new handsets will have it baked in.
Now if T Mobile did the same with the H811 model, life would be better lol..

Can they enable it via software on the g4?
Good thing I already have it enabled on my International LG G4 . I really don't listen to FM radio that much, but it's still nice to have.

I tried with a H811, doesn't work with NextRadio.
Apparently it is just a request:
Update: We've since learned that this isn't as strict as it sounds -- it's a request from AT&T, not a rule. If an Android phone maker declines to include FM, it won't get the boot.

For FM radio to work, an antenna is necessary. I am not sure the G4 had the right antenna.

can you just pull out the fmradio apk and share it here? i have a f500l and i enabled fm transmeter thing in build.prop ..
phone booted up normally without a bootloop. i coudnt find a proper fm radio apk so i pulled out a apk from G3 5.0.1 rom and pushed to system. app is working okay but cant hear any sound though. so may be internationals fmradio apk would work.

Have you tried connecting headphones to your phone to see if it would work? You need them connected since they function as an antenna. Otherwise, I can try to get the apk but I don't know if I can extract it since my phone is not rooted.

Root Browser will read the system partition without being rooted. I pulled a bunch of APKs that way before we had root.

Quick question. I want to flash back to g930v version because I don't get phone reception with g930u version for some reason.
I'm currently onG930U-APL2 and I heard I need to flash G930v of the same revision otherwise I will not be able to boot up. But I looked at https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930V/ and I don't see any APL2 versions for G930V. Which one can I flash? Can I flash the 7.0 version?
Thanks!
It's not the same version you have to flash, it's the same or higher bootloader version you have to flash. You can flash Nougat. Before going back to Verizon firmware, did you enable Verizon APN in settings on the U-firmware?

I did enable verizon APN setting. I only get LTE data but no network connection. Not on verizon phone service per se, I use Boom Mobile which is a verizon MVNO. I tried their APN settings as well, but it still didn't give me cell service.
Oic. You aren't the first person that has had that issue. I guess I should stop assuming that everyone using Verizon firmware is on official Verizon service lol.

Hello all,
Attached are modified factory roms that will flash an at&t or t-mobile phone to an unlocked phone. This means no more bloatware and in my case much better handoff between the lte bands.
These images reuse the carrier bootloader (I'm working on it) but everything else from the radio to the rom is from the unlocked priv.
Version: AAJ919
AT&T -> unlocked hybrid: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298947044
T-Mobile -> unlocked hybrid: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767153589
Directions: Unzip files. Hold power and volume down until phone reboots to fastboot. Launch flashall.bat. Follow instructions. This WILL delete your data so have a backup or don't I'm your boss. Wait. Done.
As usual I am not responsible for you bricking your phone. That being said even if the wrong file is flashed the phone gets stuck at the fastboot screen where you can flash the right file.
-Happy Modding
Can you provide more detailed instructions please
Im serious thats all there is to it.
What parts are you having problems with?
Didn't work for me, unfortunately. Phone promptly asked for SIM Pin.

This does not unlock your phone, this is an unlocked rom with no carrier bloatware.
You must already have an unlocked phone. If your phone is paid off call your carrier and ask for the pin.

I tried it and it worked. However, once it boots it will install a software update which takes you back to the bloated VZW version. Perhaps there's a way to block that update?

Totally possible. If we had root just modify the host file and set the verizon server update ip to localhost. You should be able to install DNS66 and do something similar. This will take digging on your end to figure out what the update IP is though.
I have an ATT Priv, so if I flash this I'll get next time OTA from BlackBerry instead of ATT? Saw the one above with the Verizon update and went back to bloated version.
Reporting back in to verify that it worked flawlessly on both at&t and t-mobile variants I have. Now if only we could get root lol
Thank you so much for your effort
I have an ATT branded Priv which got unlocked from ATT directly and has successfully installed this ROM. It works perfectly without any ATT bloatwares, but this built is old and when I check for system update it shows my system is up to date. However the most recent built for unlocked factory image is AAL202 according to the blackberry official reload software website.
So does this ROM OTA updates via ATT server or directly from Blackberry server?

I still have the original out of the box version file on my computer. I have updated my phone to the DE version. This is way different than the Note 5 firmware. I think I'm going to play with it this weekend to see if I can revert back to original stock though I'm not expecting a miracle. I'm hearing people can revert back but I'm not that interested in it until I need to be. I'm kind of disappointed that we don't have root and unlocked bootloader just yet but oh well. . it happens.
Bluetooth issues
I use my S8 with LG HBS1100 bluetooth headset and sometimes they disconnect... SOmetimes I can talk through whatsapp with the phone/speaker but not through bluetooth.
I also have the S8 connected to my Civic 2016 and it disconnect sometimes.
Tmobile signal/network is also very poor in some areas were I know are low but more noticeable.
I'm comparing these with my previous iphone 7+ S7 Edge and S8+.
I hope it improves with the update
I noticed my bluetooth acts wonky when I have any other wifi/bluetooth device active nearby. I did some testing with my work Iphone 7 and i get bad hickups in audio when its bluetooth or wifi is on in my car, when i turn it off, everything works fine.

I'm stumped. The sim is working since text and data work.
Is the phone being used with the carrier that issued the phone or was the phone purchased outright and unlocked?

It was originally by telus Canada variant, but recently in Canada they made it free to get your phone unlocked under certain conditions, so I called telus and they unlocked it for me to be world wide, because my phone is actually so simaler to the US and European variant, on how they are built so I Flashed TWRP GT-i9505 on it and now so now I'm running XOSP-UNOFFICAL-20180114-JFLTEXX and everything works except calling, right now that's how I'm responding to this thread is by mobile data.
Yes, the sgh-337m (Canadian variant) and GT-i9505 are very similar but the radio bands supported by each model is different. Maybe certain radio bands need to be unlocked or enabled for voice?
You could try this website to check compatibility with a stock i337m ROM: https://willmyphonework.net/

I am using Freedom mobile is my current service provider, not the biggest company but they are growing. OK I'll look at that link
Did you modify the radio bands to enable AWS for Freedom? I know they are expanding their LTE network to bring LTE to phones that previously worked on 3g only like the iPhone 6s a1688.
Modify Bands? May you describe what that is and how? Because I didn't modify anything all I did one day was Flashed stock ROM via Odin from SamMobile and ever since them my IMEI hanged or anything
Freedom frequencies aren't supported by the i337m. The freedom version of the s4 is the sgh-m919v.

I think it may be a kernel issue. Is the phone running the kernel included with the rom?
