Hi all,
I grew tired with the lack of VoLTE and WiFi calling on my unbranded, bought direct from Samsung S8 - there's no sign of Three enabling either on unbranded phones.
So I did the unthinkable and flashed the H3G branded firmware - all went fine.
Only trouble is - I have no VoLTE - the option isn't there - and I don't get VoLTE in places where I know I should and have had in the past on my S7.
Three are useless and haven't a clue what I'm talking about. So I wondered if anyone here knows how VoLTE is actually supposed to work with the S8 on Three. I don't have the VoLTE on/off toggle like I did in the settings on my S7 and I don't get VoLTE in places where I used to get VoLTE on my S7. I either get nothing or a very low H/4G.
Is this expected behaviour and are the options just hidden now? Do you still get the little VoLTE indicator as with the S7 when the S8 is using VoLTE?
I was in the same situation, unbranded from Samsung, had to do a full wipe + H3G flash through ODIN and both VoLTE and Wifi calling work.
I had trouble getting them both, until I re-partitioned the phone in ODIN, which was a pain.

I have the G950FD (dual sim) am imaging the 3 banded firmware & Rom is unlikely to support dual sim ? can anyone confirm otherwise ??
hate the three start up screen and branding.... but could do with VOLTE and WIFI calling

Hi,
Does it now work as described with the on/off toggle in settings? Three basically told me that this is just how it works, any options are hidden and it won't go near VoLTE unless there is literally no other signal of any other kind. Where as on my S7 I had the option to switch on and off plus I got the VoLTE symbol in a lot of places.
Is there a guide to link to regarding the re-partitioning you did?
I'm reading some pretty scary things about the re-partition button in Odin!
Yes, re-partitioning was a pain, I got some bootloop issues as a result so wouldn't recommend it (no specific guide from memory)
I actually cannot see any on/off toggle in settings, VoLTE icon appears on most 4g areas.

I went for it - no problems, carried out exactly the same process only this time I ticked 're-partition'. I've just restored all my apps and had to reset my Gear S3 again.
I also downloaded the small (40MB-ish) OTA update that comes down after the re-flash, which I assume is the VoLTE settings from Three.
So far, all I've noticed is that WiFi calling is a lot more stable - before, the WiFi calling icon was appearing and vanishing all the time. Now it's solid.
No sign of VoLTE - or any VoLTE toggle. I'll see what happens when I'm out and about later, hopefully it'll have worked.
(Although I'm sure I got VoLTE at home on my S7, I might be mistaken. Checking the coverage checker I'm in solid VoLTE territory though.)
I must say, factory re-store/re-flashing is so much better now that the Samsung back-up and restore app actually restores everything properly! Right down to the shortcuts and widgets on your homescreens. I was dreading it.
Does any one mind hosting the three s8 firmware on a store some where like google drive or drop box

i was hoping you could share your copy. of course i am downing from sam mobile but its taking an AGE.
i flashed it... no problems wifi calling there but no volte for now.
I've been doing some reading, it seem that the way they have it set up is so that VoLTE is a last resort when you lose all other 3G and 4G signal. So if there's 3G available you'll never see VoLTE (or WiFi calling for that matter).
Also explains why you have to have their firmware and they've blocked access to it on unbranded phones? Because surely with regular firmware, if it's there - the phone will log on to it and they can't control that on an unbranded phone. Or is it controllable by the network?
I wonder why they've done this? Seems odd. Also odd that there's no switch, one of the reasons I hate branded firmware is that they can mess with stuff like that, I hate the idea that they're hiding functions and messing with stuff on my phone, that I paid £650 for! - along with the horrible boot logos and bloat.
Wish they would allow it to work on unbranded phones, I'm running dual sim so no chance of ever being able to install

If you decide to unlock your device and go down the TWRP and Custom ROMS path then feel free to use the attached ZIP to flash the H3G Three CSC to enable WiFi Calling/VoLTE and Call Recording.
I took the CSC utility posted by Tkkg1994 and created a flashable TWRP zip with just the relevent files removing the APK that Three put on when first setting up the phone as well as the Three boot animation leaving the Samsung stock one in place. I did this to save having to have a 1.5GB file on my phone with CSC's that I don't need. All credit goes to Tkkg1994 for the CSC Utility.
I have only tested this on the single sim SM-G950F however and I also recommend making sure you have an EFS backup beforehand as I know the CSC Utility does do that even though this zip doesn't mount and do anything with the EFS partition.
Thanks

That is really silly. EE do the same thing in terms of needing their firmware to use VoLTE but they do not limit it only when you have bad signal lol that is foolish. Funny how things are with different manufacturers. On my U11, VoLTE works for all UK networks with stock unbranded firmware and it even has a toggle, unlike the S7/S8. You'd think there would be more options on the more popular phone.

Use updato.com. no download speed limit
I spoke to three over twitter and they advised they do plan to release this to unbranded phones but there is no date in mind at present
I had to do the same to get Volte on EE.
Does work everywhere though.
WiFi calling worked out the box on BTU unlocked.
Only issue is EE is **** slow at releasing updates.
Is there a file I can flash to enable WiFi and VOLTE on EE when using a custom ROM? Works great on the stock EE firmware but I would like to use another custom ROM.

I have a n9005 XEO that i bought on ebay. it was working fine for about 5 months now until a few days ago when it just stopped getting cellular signal altogether. no calls, no data, nothing. it seemed to corespond to me using towlroot, installing supersu, and a couple of xposed add-ons, but everything seemed to work fine for a few days before i had this problem. I tried making sure that airplane mode was off, data was enabled, that i had the apn settings correct for my provider (at&t, USA), I even went so far as to restore to factory settings, and then flash another rom (the stock s5 port i found here in the dev forum). still not getting cell signal at all). I went so far as to go to the local at&t store and ask them to place my sim in a known good phone to make sure it has service (and it does and is provisioned properly and i'm paid up). my note sees the sim (i.e. no "sim not found" messages), just plain no service as if i were in a dead zone. the phone hasn't been mishandled, i've tried pulling the battery and putting it back in... I can't think of anything i'm missing here besides trying to flash the modem (which i can't seem to find the stock modem (n9005xxuenc2) or firmware on a site that doesn't take 7 hours to download it from.
can anybody help? (either with a mirror that doesn't suck for the latest stock firmware or latest stock modem, or offer any other suggestions?)

it's an n9005 xeo from poland, I'm in the USA on AT&T. I downloaded the firmware successfully from sammobile and installed it with odin 3.07 which seemed to go successfully but I still get absolutely no cellular
I've tried using the default apn, tried using at&t's apn settings (which i remember having to do last time before i got data but i'd always been able to make calls and that's not working right now either), no effect...
anybody have any ideas?

So you're saying it worked perfectly for 5 months, and then suddenly it went haywire on you? Did you do any major changes before it happened?
I also tried flashing the XXUENC2 and ZHUENB5 modems from here with no effect.

as i noted I rooted it with towlroot, installed supersu, and a coupe of xposed add-ons. but everything was working afterwards for about a week before i had this problem. otherwise, I was using my phone one night, i wake up, and see that i have no service. it was after a big storm so i figured they were doing service on the tower, until my work iphone rings (on the same network) and that feeling of dread set in so i went about trying to diagnose the problem and here i am.

despite having done nothing unusual to the hardware, I've flashed modems (stock and otherwise), i've flashed roms (stock and otherwise) and it doesn't appear to effect my situation, so I can't help but think that this could be hardware related... I'm stuck and sad.

even if it were blacklisted, it should still allow me to place 911 calls and the like. it should work like a deactivated phone. it's not. just in case i was wrong, I also verified the imei on swappa and they confirm that it is indeed NOT blacklisted.
also i'm not sure why it would be blacklisted to begin with. it was working one day then i went to use it the next and bam, not working. i don't get it.

Sounds like your IMEI got tampered or stolen and got blacklisted. Usually this would happen, especially when buying phones online.

But I've used several reputable services to check my IMEI number and they all say that my imei is in good standing... I don't get it. besides, what causes an imei to be blacklisted to begin with? - I wasn't trying to circumvent any security features, had no malware, no reason at all for an accounts admin to want to get me off the network. my account is in good standing, and my sim still works in an old iphone that i've got (i'm using that until i can sort out my regular phone situation).

The fact that someone had the phone with them can easily get it stolen. It's a plain 15 digit number, easily forgeable just by looking at the box, and since it has no authentication, people can just get your phone blacklisted by placing it on a defunct phone that hacks the network (or something).
well tonight i took it apart to see if there was a problem with the antenna cables, connections to the various peripheral devices and such and alas, no effect... still does exactly the same thing after field stripping the unit and resenting everything. if it's hardware, it's nothing i can tell...
I was also able to generate a .pit file, grab the latest build for my csc from sammobile (takes forever) and did a nand erase in odin with the pit and the downloaded stock rom... everything went great, but it got me to exactly the same place i'm at... working phone, no service. I have no money, but i think i'm going to just end up ebaying it and buying an s3 until i can save up enough for a note 4 or nexus 6... for now, i'm on a crappy old iphone 4 with a broken lock button, but that's another thread.
well it's been about a month and a half since i've had a decent phone (my 3 phones ago iphone 4 really doesn't cut it). after giving it some thought, I think i might buy a broken-screen sm-n900t, and swap it's mainboard into my phone. hardware-wise i believe they are exactly the same, it should be easily rooted with unlocked baseband,it would give me LTE on at&t, and it should be easily unlocked so i can use it on at&t... it should also only cost me 1/8 the cost of a good condition used n900t. ($60 or so on ebay i hope?).
still pretty sad that such a nice phone quit on me so quickly

Why don't you swap the N9005's screen onto the N900T and keep it like that? The N900T if I can recall, has the most bands available worldwide and if you're already replacing it, just enjoy the vast amount of customizations and potential the N900T has.
Did you pursue all avenue including Samsung service/repair centre or even Samsung line enquiry to confirm it's not blacklisted?

that's basically the plan, except the motherboard lives on the display side of things, so it would be swapping in a new motherboard (n900t). we both describe the same plan of action.
Hello,
EE does something called Wifi calling in the UK to send calls/ texts over your wifi connection if no GSM signal.
They only do this if your phone OS is EE/ Orange branded which mine is not, because whilst I do have a EE contract the phone is non branded. The option to enable WIFI calls is missing (settings > Call >wifi calling)
Is it possible to somehow re-instate this app/ feature/ setting by way of a different rom ?
Has anyone managed to get it going. So annoying as I get ZERO signal in my house.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated or simple no I cant would be useful too to stop me from keep looking
Your best bet is to check Sam Mobile for the latest EE carrier firmware and flash that. Don't think there is a simple solution as the feature is part of the dailer software. Maybe taking the dialer apk from this and pasting into your system "might" work but I highly doubt it. I'm also on EE using a debranded phone and would also like this feature. I may try what I was saying here when I have time to download the EE firmware.
When I'm at home I switch my network to GSM only which seems to help a little with signal as I have crap signal in my house also using EE.
Thanks for the info I'll take a look but after a disastrous week upgrading to CM13 then to 5.0 and finally back to stock I'm a little reluctant to start messing about again.
I should say, messing about to see if it works. I would do it for sure if confirmed working

Have a look at this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/ee-wifi-calling-t3082364 some useful info there. Also from what I've read flashing an ee firmware will not work because of different hidden partition sizes. But I have read that if you can edit the firmware and remove the hidden partition it will flash. So straight flashing EE firmware most likely won't work and also copying phone apks most likely won't work either. Has to do with CSC and British firmwares. Tried CSC option on BPA2 but no go. Might work on BTU though. Best of luck.
I have been trying to get wifi calling with AT&T is working on my International S7 edge. I have made headway.
1. First of all I told AT&T I had their branded S7 edge and gave them an IMEI that will show up that phone. So I can activate my phone.
2. I have narrowed down the required apks to the following, but some are obviously for the Wifi Calling, and other's I am not sure. If people know what some of these apks do, please let me know.
3. I have used the Note 7 Port and flashed TTKG CSC selection and chosen the ATT CSC, we are still working on getting it working in the S7 and Edge CSC.
4. The following APK's I feel are related to Wifi Calling are.... If you can help me eliminate some that aren't. They are deodexed, and I have uploaded them, you will need to change the permissions to match the ones in the system folder.

Did you ever get this resolved? So far I can not for the life of me, get WiFi Calling working on my S7 Edge exynos. Basically throws an error stating the activation failed, and never brings up the screen to enter in my emergency contact address like AT&T is supossed to re-direct you to.
The activation fails because AT&T doesn't have an AT&T wifi capable phone on your account which then allows you to activate the wifi. I have two imei's that are linked to AT&T s6 and s7. I can give you the imei. Go to att tech support give them the imei and tell them to update your account to be able to get visual voice mail and wifi calling. After you do this, they will alow you to activate it. However I gave up after a while. If you flash the custom csc, you must do it before your phone boots up after a factory reset and flash a custom rom. I am waiting as I am on Nougat now, so until ATT updates it's apps again.

Thanks, although I'm a bit confused on the steps your outlining here. I assume you're stating that I'll need to somehow modify a ROM (in this case SAC's N7 ROM for S7 Edge Exynos), and inject an IMEI? I'm not entirely sure how to do that to change the IMEI (this would be my first time attempting to do that). Then I would reflash that image, and then re flash the CSC update to AT&T? Maybe I'm not understanding, but my iPhone 6 is on my account and fully capable of wifi calling. In fact we have 2 iPhone 6s on the account. What exactly did you give up on?
Hate to sound like a newb here (although in a way... I am), but can you step me through the process so I can follow your line of thought? Appreciate the help!
So first of all an Android WiFi Calling and IPhone Android WiFi calling are different you will need to tell at&t you have an AT&T branded Android phone that has WiFi calling. This will lead at&t to add the ability to add wifi calling on your account.
Have you rooted your phone and installed a custom rom? If so then you would flash ttkg84's csc package and choose att. Which will flash most if not all the files. I got all the way to confirm my address and enable wifi calling, but it never worked.
Do not insert another phones imei into your phone, you will brick it and will have a expensive paper weight.
I have given up for now and am waiting for a full release of Nougat.
PM my I can give you am imei to give AT&T to enable video calling, visual voice mail and give the ability to activate WiFi Calling, but it's not likely to work. Some things are still missing.
You may never get wifi calling working because at&t uses a slightly different method then everyone else. I think they will standardize with Nougat.

4. Download and Install SAC23's Full n7 ROM located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-n7-rom-port-romcontrol-t3430358 - I did the V8 Debloated version
5. When prompted - Wipe Dalik
6. Insert SIM Card from AT&T iPhone (ensured WiFi Calling was turned OFF on the iPhone prior to removing from iPhone)
7. Reboot first time into N7 ROM
8. Go through the setup and connect to a WiFi location that you know WiFi calling works at.
9. Download a browser (Chrome or whatever) at a minimum
10. Eat a Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich :good:
11. Reboot to Recovery
12. Flash CSC for the N7 located here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-t3450911 - Grab the CSC snapdragon the Exynos zip
13. Reboot
14. Status bar will indicate VoLTE enabled up at top eventually.
15. Try going to the pull down from the top, and clicking WiFi Calling option a couple times.... no dice.
16. Try going to the phone app --> Click Settings --> Note WiFi Calling is off --> Try clicking it on a few times.... you'll get an adroid app stopped working.
17. After sitting on this sceen for a few minutes, note the VoLTE dissapears, and the icons on the phone app screen (The Call Start Button and the Call End button) switch to WiFi magically.... Try making a call with 0 zero cell reception, and indeed, the call is being made through WiFI on AT&T's network.
Now.... I have absolutely zero idea what's going on with the VoLTE icon disappearing.... and the WiFI calling suddenly working. If you reboot the phone, the same thing occurs. It starts in VoLTE.... and then eventually disappears, and eventually after a couple of minutes being connected to a WIFI connection, switches auto-magically to WifFi calling.
I'll take some screenshots.

So... Interestingly enough. I just got WiFi Calling to work this morning...
Basically, I did the following steps:
1. No SIM Inserted into Galaxy S7 Exynos - SD Card only

Followed the method above using Superman 1.16 and CSC selector 1.86.
Haven't been able to test wifi calling since I haven't found an area with wifi and no cell reception, but so far everything looks like it's working.
Important to note that the AT&T account probably does need to be provisioned for a G935A rather than G935F, which is done by reporting a G935A IMEI to AT&T (and not changing it on the device itself) as mentioned previously.

Hmmm, gotcha.... but if you report a G935A they typically want you to power off and power on the phone to check the provisioning while on the phone with them. And what happens if someone calls in and then tries to re-provision the same IMEI on another account? What happens to my SIM in my G935FD? Thanks!

Far as I can tell they don't check IMEIs against different accounts.
I can't say for sure, but I haven't had an issue as my phone has a different IMEI (or IMEIs--G935FD) than the one listed on my account (which reads as a G935A).
In short, asking AT&T to change the IMEI on the account hasn't affected or changed the IMEIs on my phone, or caused any problems.
As far as provisioning, I told them I was on the phone, so they called me back a few minutes later and didn't report any issues or discrepancies to me.
It'd be just as easy to tell the rep the phone isn't available though, so just ask them to change the IMEI and you can call them back later if there are issues if that's a concern.
Looks like great news. I was happy I was able to activate my 935F via AT&T (I gave them the actual IMEI and they activated it). I'm on Superman ROM and flashed ATT CSC. I get visual voicemail and the WiFi calling button, but it doesn't actually work. I'll see if I can get a valid 935A IMEI and ask them to activate again. Hopefully that will do the trick. I get a horrible signal at home, and the 4G/LTE icon is constantly flickering on and off... AT&T Video call option shows up in settings, but won't turn on... no wifi calling setting in the settings menu, just the quick settings button.
Any guidance appreciated!

My provider is t-mobile germany. I have everything enabled on my account page, and wifi calling is working sometimes for a day or two. But after a while it just wont turn on. The same with volte at this point. I have to restart the phone to get this functionality up and running again.
Happens on both rooted custom roms, as well as stock rom. In both cases i took extra care to use the official stock rom from t-mobile germany dtm or the appropriate csc when using a custom rom.
Anyone else having similar problems? Is there maybe a way to reset the radio part of the s7 edge without having to restart the whole phone? Or maybe a more permanent solution? Turning on flight mode and turning off does not do the trick. A friend of mine has no such problems with his iphone 6. Same network, same wifi and same t-mobile account variant.
Thanks for reading!
just wondering why do you need wifi calling if you have unlimited talk/text?
Reception at work is bad, and i have to be available for my family and customers. During the times it is working i find this to be a very valuable feature. And besides, it should work all the time, but sadly doesn't in my case. Anyone else having similar problems?
So IS the hardware on the S8 Active identical between providers (ATT, T-mobile, Sprint, etc) just like the S7?
Asking as I successfully reflashed 2 ATT S7's to TMobile firmware and they're working great for my friends including WiFi Calling and booting with TMO splash (and model # changed as well).
HOWEVER when I tried using a modded Odin 3.13.1 (I think) to do the same with my S8 Active to the lastest FW out there for TMO I get a PIT error (posted elsewhere on here but no helpful replies).
Anyway, just wondering is the HW the same??
Thanks

Any thoughts on why I cannot flash T-Mobile firmware onto my SM892A if identical hardware across cell providers?
It was SO EASY to fix my friend's Galaxy S7's from AT&T with T-mobile firmware and the model number the device reports even changed from SM-930A to SM-930T afterwards and they got rid of all ATT Bloatware and replaced it with TMO's smaller set of bloatware AND MADE WiFi Calling work!!
Frustrated as I have issues with call reception if I forget to turn WiFi off at home as it tries to use AT&T WiFi Calling which wont' work on T-Mobile.....can't afford another cell right now and afraid I'll miss a JOB INTERVIEW CALL!!
ANY HELP APPRECIATED.
