No volte in India ( UAE variant)

Guys I got my Galaxy S8 3 days back, imported from Dubai. In India no volte is showing up, I guess the firmware needs to be changed to Indian firmware. As the firmware shows Algeria.
Anyone changed the firmware then please help me out.

Change to Indian via Odin
Here in Kerala, imported sets are Volte enabled

I'm in a similar situation, importing from dubai due to the recent price drop. Will be getting my hands on the device in 1 or 2 days.
I read in one of the posts in xda that you will have to just factory reset phone and insert indian sim and configure the phone for getting volte and spay. XDA link. Sounds too simplistic to me.
Can you please kindly mention what steps you took to make S8 work with Jio Volte and Samsung Pay. I'm familiar with rooting phones and flashing custom ROMs.
Thanks!

Hey! even I'm in the same situation. S8 from dubai no volte in India. And I'm unable to download the firmware from sammobile.
I had read this on a forum... can anyone confirm if this works??
"This is what I did and it worked for me .. Please note , all of your data will be erased (I.e. factory reset) so take back.up if you want.
1. Power off and remove the sim tray.. Please ensure you have a Indian sim in the tray.. I used Airtel
2. Goto recovery , HOLD bixby button and Volume up together and power up
3. In recovery , chose factory reset .. This will give a warning and then reset everything
4. Chose power off in the recovery and insert sim tray with Indian sim .. you should do this before booting up as your CSC will be configured when you will start
5. Power on the phone , it may goto recovery again.. Chose to restart to system now
Everything will be configured to INS CSC now .. Samsung Pay works now ..
This worked for me , I had imported S8 from UAE . I don't take any responsibility for any damage in the process please .. just sharing what I have learnt from this forum. THANKS"

Did you change the UAE firmware to Indian one?
Are there any issues? Does it has any lock?

Hello,
I bought s8 from Dubai last week and I installed Indian firmware AQG5.
But now the phone is stuck on boot screen.
I cant even get into tecovery mode. Its stuck on Galaxy S8 screen.
I selected
AP, BL, CSC & CP files while flashing through Odin
Please suggest how to get out of this

Yup, it works. I just inserted my Airtel 4g sim before even the first boot and the phone configured for Indian carriers. Later, I wasn't getting ota updates so flashed AQF7 update through Odin using home CSC which didn't factory reset the phone. I even got AQG5 ota update after this. Volte & Spay work fine.

Hi - I am planning to get the samsung S8 from Dubai - would you suggest I buy it - what all functionalities arent working here in India. Also, does it need a 5 min. voice call in Dubai before getting it here?

Exynos variant is only available. I got mine hand carried by a visitor to Dubai, so no duty.

So if i travel to India for a short Period, do i have to factory reset, just because i changed the sim?

didn't work for me
this doesnt work for me

The Best Stock Rom for J500F

Almost all the Region's Stock Roms have bloatware but if you want Volte then i would recommend INS (India) Rom . It has bloatware but it can be deleted using Root and it has other features also like Wifi Calling and Bike Mode

Yes it is somewhat true like some region's Stock Rom does not support Volte feature while some like INS variant supports it so Yes there are differences but they are mostly very less and small. Some regions have more bloatware and some have less but according to me 95% of all the different region's Roms are the same with no major differences.

Yup , you can say that because it fully supports Volte feature which you must have seen in other threads , is currently quite a lot in demand

best rom till now

Guys as m new to this thread ..can any one plz suggest me a rom better battery / performance then stock rom and stock like canera ..and yess volte too .thanks....

You do need to try each ROM to see which works best for you. Below is a combination of the theory plus my experience. I am assuming you have exynos version of phone. Otherwise it'll be hard.
If you care about battery life and performance balance, while still having the stock camera, a touchwiz based ROM is likely the way to go. Superman, super stock and Helios come to mind. Sticking with your stock one and flashing a kernel would also work. Volte should work on all if you flash your csc. Superkernel or notorious kernel both have great battery life. Super stock is also improved from stock, but less savings and more performance than the other 2.
Ported ROMs will never have battery life as good as the s7 ROMs. Even the developers will admit.
Any questions, ask away.

Not sure what rdfe means.
Provider and current CSC could help.
Is the CSC on your current phone that of your provider? Does your provider provide volte (I don't know any that do not)?
---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------
CSC is country specific code. It is responsible for carrier services such as volte. Download phone info by vndnguyen on app store and that app will tell your CSC code.

Download the app to find out your CSC. Each provider/country has a code. Ensure that yours matches your phone provider. Alternatively tell me your CSC and provider and I can try to work it out for you.

I see - you are using a UAE phone with Indian sim. Not sure how it works with dual sim, but Airtel CSC is ACA and Reliance is INU/INS.
You can download official firmware/ ROM which includes the CSC for these off Sam mobile. Alternatively, if you are planning to use custom ROM anyways. At least for Superman ROM, there is a whole CSC collection that you can install after you install the ROM. INS is definitely one of them. That CSC will allow you to VOLTE with your Reliance sim. Not sure how you can get VOLTE with both sims though as they use different CSC.

It literally links you in the Superman ROM thread. I understand that there are other things in life and that it is not always clear, but it does show laziness and a lack of initiative - properties that make people not want to help you. People get a bit ****ty if you dont read. TLDR at least read the post(s) by the developer first.
Here is the link.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392957
Also here is a link to 2.4 version of CSC selection. I like it better cos it doesnt mess up the modded pulldown menu (at least for my CSC).
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634777182
Download and flash after Superman install and choose the CSC you want (INS in your case)

I had used Vodafone sim in Delhi but didn't get volte..my device is from Malaysia

Yes
I take the zip file extracted from s7 edge csc and flashed with stock recovery. No root needed. We get all the indian operators setting. I am using jio and volte is working fine. One thing not working is the upi option in samsung pay, but we can add cards and pay.

extracted csc zip
i am sharing the file got from s7 edge indian csc.
extracted the cache.img from csc with 7zip
then extract cache.img with ASSAYYED_KITCHEN_V1.82 and got sec_csc.zip
DOWNLOAD LINK:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LEbuw-MDLiIPOCY3-NlrH9zjiR9lcqkB/view?usp=sharing
1. copy the file to sd card.
2. reboot to recovery
3. tap apply update from sd card and select sec_csc.zip
5. after completing the update wipe cache partition
done.
if volte doesnt appear change the csc with code *#272*IMEI# and select INS.
this will reset the phone and to prevent reset go to download mode after applying the csc and then restart this will wipe the reset script!!
DO FULL BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
I GOT THIS METHOD FROM NOTE FE WHATSAPP GROUP Mr.Youness (galaxy note fe global XDA ). IT WORKS FOR ME.
ANY MODIFICATION TO THE ZIP WILL ALTER ITS SIGNATURE AND WONT ABLE TO FLASH WITH RECOVERY.
i am attaching pic of stock recovery showing the software version and the INS csc.

excellent, thank you for the confirmation. This is great news as s7 is pretty much available in all region so any csc can be acquired absolute relief

Thanks, managed to get volte working on telstra australia. If anyone need the extracted csc pm me. No joy with samsung pay but i did not wipe the device just dirty flashed the telstra csc zip.

Can anyone please arrange a Nordic or Norwegian CSC for NOTE FE Dual sim?

Hello,
I need original csc from n935k can someone share the zip file...?!

I test app on Google play called "Volte checker"
This is the result

U need to flash uindian csc and u ll have volte

Just flash the csc with odin, that's all. You don't need the zip. Csc if you want to factory reset, home CSC if you want to update without loosing datas...

My phone is SM-N935F / DS. (Arabian)
Not available in VOLTE property settings.
Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam Does VOLTE exist in Firmware?
If available, can I install firmware from other languages on Arabian phone?

Get a csc for your carrier from s7edge firmware flash it and u will have volte... does not matter in what language u use ur phone. U can set the arabian phone to english or whatever language

what trouble are you running into? flashing a CSC doesnt require root as its done in download mode and every Galaxy S phone from the S8 on are capable of taking any firmware built for any US bootloader version S device youre on. It will very likely require the patched version of odin available here
for the most part, all the CSC does is tell the phone what carrier its on which tells it what LTE bands to use, what carrier bloat to install, config for voLTE and wifi calling etc etc
