Hello Everyone,
I am having a weird problem.
I recently bought Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) from someone else ( used for 5 months ). When I checked the OS, it has been already rooted and a custom OS was added. The firmware was ver. 6.0.1 . So, I tried updating. But because the ROM was unofficial, I couldn't do the update from Settings.
By using Odin and a stock firmware from Sam mobiles (sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s6/SM-G920F/), I installed 7.0 OS.
I don't remember which region I choose, but it worked perfectly except for mobile network.
After update, the network isn't working. System says that sim is detected. But If I try making a call, it says "Network Not Registered". I have seen lot of post with this kind of issue but nothing worked so far. After I showed this to my repair guy, he said only old ROM ( or custom ) ROM will solve this issue, but after this you cannot update the OS.
Is this really possible? Phone working with Older Version or Custom ROM, but not with updated one?
If provided right guidance, I will try resetting my phone.
Note: I am from Nepal, and I cannot find any firmware application for this country.
Thanks in advance
Yes. Many devices do not work with newer software.
As for your issue you might want to check your apns as none of Nepals are in the stock apn config. Go in and configure it and you should be fine.
Yes you lose all updates on that device with a custom rom and 7.0 was the last official update the device will see short of the crappy security updates.

Hello Zelendel,
I tried configuring the APNs ( Added automatically by carrier ), but it did nothing. Anyway, does APN has to do anything with mobile calls ? I know it is responsible for mobile data services, but for voice services, I have no idea

Yes it controls everything from calls to data. Might want to call your carrier and see if the device has to be added to their network. The Sim might be tied to another device. I know some carriers in some countries do this.
Hello,
I have a V30+ sold as a US998 running on T-Mobile US. Is it possible to get VoLTE working on the custom ROMs for this phone? VoLTE works with the stock ROM but I don't want stock. On my other phones, AOSP and other non-stock ROMs are able to do VoLTE with no problems.
Is part of the problem that all the custom ROMs are based on the H930? Do I need for someone to build a US998 based custom ROM for it to work?
This is the only thing preventing me from using this phone as my daily driver. I love the hardware and form-factor but need clear voice calls.
Thanks in advance,
Carl
Sorry, ignore answer.

Can you elaborate? As I said I've used many, many custom ROMs where VoLTE works. Are you saying this phone is different somehow? If so, how? Thanks!

LG has modified the volte framework. its not portable to custom roms. its been attempted by different people who do this kind of stuff with other devices. @SGCMarkus can elaborate more on this subject

Thanks for your reply. I looked at that thread but my phone does not seem to have the /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/OP parttion that's needed to follow the instructions in that thread. Maybe different versions of the phone are flashed with different partitions and the US998 doesn't have that?

OK, thanks. So the method described in the post linked by @saintsimon doesn't work on custom ROMs? I'm not sure its point then as the stock ROM seems to have VoLTE built in?

Stock ROM has VoLTE, yes, but the /OP partition on for example the H930, decides which features are allowed on which carrier... aka it disables/enables some settings depending on the sim card inserted.
For VoLTE: LG modiefied the modem in a way that the IMS services cant talk to it. They may start, you may have the settings to enable it, but they wont work.
Other manufacturers (Xiaomi, Oneplus...) use standard Qualcomm implementation for this, which is to a big part open source, thats why it works there.

Thanks for the response.
So there must be a different partition or method on the US998 that enables VoLTE? Can we use that method in the same way that H930 owners can use the /OP method?
Or would it be possible to use some LG recovery tool to completely reflash and repartition my US998 so that essentially it becomes an H930 thereby allowing me to use the /OP method and enable VoLTE?
It's kind of frustrating because this phone with a custom ROM would be nearly ideal for me but because of this issue it gathers dust. (And don't get me started on the V35 I bought to "upgrade" it!)

From what ive been told all the open market variants should have a /OP partition... but appearantly not (anymore)... The H933 has one though, i think
I dont think you can convert a US998 to a H930 though... and using its /OP partition would be pointless, because it only has carriers from Europe in it.

So I guess question is: if some (all?) US998s don't have an /OP partition then how does VoLTE work on the stock ROM on these phones? Any idea where I would start if I want to figure it and see if it's something that can be duplicated on a custom ROM?
Guess I'll reinistall stock and do some exploring...

I suppose there its somewhere in the framework files + firmware themselfes (hardcoded)...
Or the config files for that are somewhere completly different.
@SGCMarkus and @clipcarl Did you have any update on making VoLTE work on the LG V30 series? I was verifying all the Custom ROMS but none of them supports VoLTE.
Please help me in using custom ROM with VoLTE.

how can i found out which devices support VoLTE with custom ROMs or is there even some kind of feature matrix/table for custom ROMs and devices?
because LG's update support for the V30 is kind of bad (currently i have Nov 2019) and if custom ROMs don't support things like VoLTE, (earlier even encryption was a problem) i might switch to another device now...

For the V30 series, stock-based ROMs like AIS and AIX support VoLTE. But LOS based custom roms do not support VoLTE.
For me, I run rooted stock Oreo US998 20h firmware with magisk and Xposed mods.
If I had T-Mobile , I would have VoLTE on US998 20h. But because I use AT&T, I would need to install AT&T Oreo firmware -- which we have here in the forum -- to get VoLTE. I prefer Open Market firmware and don't need VoLTE whatsoever.
VoLTE is not something that can be magically implemented via software. It's something that also depends upon the carrier side. T-Mobile is more eager to get customers then AT&T. I don't know what carrier do you use. For Verizon a lot of people are running VS996 rooted stock firmware.
As to what other devices have VoLTE with LOS custom roms, I don't know.
As for us, we have a thread maintained by a very helpful person who lists all the bugs in
* V30 LOS 17 based ROMs (Android 10)
* older V30 LOS 16 based ROMs.
So for the items you see that list, there's no need to go installing every ROM to check it out. They will all have those same bugs.

A.I.X. is stock Pie custom ROM, developed and maintained by ROM Dev Aeronliru, a.k.a. AeronLee. It's stock Pie on steroids with lots of customization. Found in the Telegram thread.
There are also debloated T-mobile H932 and Verizon VS996 stock Pie ROMs. What variant do you have, which debloated stock ROM are you looking for?
* [ROM][VS996] Verizon LG V30 Pie 30c Debloated ROM
This one is mostly for Verizon users, although technically other compatible North American variants can flash to it.
* [STOCK] [H932] [30d] [Pie] T-Mobile LG V30 Stock Collection
This one is ONLY for T-mobile H932. See post #2 of that thread for the debloating trick.

In a similar situation here and thinking ahead to when ATT shuts down 3g (yeh, 2/22, assuming the phone survives this long
For V30 to have VoLTE on ATT, doesn't it need to 1) have ATT firmware, and also 2) be originally ATT version?
When you mentioned that for you just putting ATT firmware will get you VoLTE, is it because your V30 was originally ATT version?
Since mine is from USCellular, I always thought that putting ATT firmware on it would not get me VoLTE.
Thanks.
AT&T and T-Mobile detonators for the S8/S8+/N8 PIE
Thanks to user bigTINY779 I now have a twrp flashable tmb csc features working on pie with my SM-G955N. Should work on most Exynos S8/S8+/N8 PIE - SM-G95X
Please understand the risks of flashing this. Dont try if you dont know how to restore and start over.
I was given permission to share as this is not my work.
I will give no support on this I am just passing it along to the public.
Features include:
wifi calling
caller id
spam protection
recent app protection
call recording
enable camera during call
video calling
Based on the latest omc from n950u. Clean rom flash is recommended but not required, and as always, MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR EFS AT LEAST! Can be flashed directly after the rom, no need to boot first. ENJOY!

Added S9/S9+ and TEST version of N9. If you try the N9 please let me know if it works well. I don't have N9 to test...
I am using the TMO detonator on a Samsung S950FD and it works well (WIFI calling, VoLTE both working), including on a T-Mobile MVNO. I am wondering though if there could be a similar detonator prepared that would be for CSC XAA (which is the US market generic unlocked CSC). Using XAA would allow the same functions to work without having to reflash the phone each time the operator is changed. What do you think?

it went fine, but after that my phone is mad laggy and I'm keep getting IMS service isn't working. is there any way I can add those CSC for USA base networks manually so it can work with Verizon and others USA base network?

T-Mobile detonator works perfectly and I love that you kept it minimal to only get all the needed features working.
I'd appreciate a T-Mobile bootlogo removal though tbh
Sorry, I have done quite a few searches, but haven't found any clear instructions on how to install these files. I have a N950F, but use it on ATT, and would like to get wifi calling working. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm new to this. I also am unclear on how to install.
G950F, TWRP 3.4.0 and Magisk 20.4 running. Using Tmobile.
Is this something I have to flash via TWRP or via Odin? And how do I tell which Tmobile file to flash?
I went ahead and just tried to install it the best I knew how.
Phone: SM-G950F Firmware: G950FXXSBDTJ1 Security Patch: October 1, 2020
Carrier T-mobile USA.
I used TWRP 3.4.0 to flash “TMB_pie_detonator_bigTINY_G95X_N950.zip”.
In "Settings>Software Information>Service provider SW ver."
initial CSC was XEU/XEU/OPS.
post detonator it is TMB/TMB/OPS.
I note VoLTE and Wifi Calling options are now present in the drop down menu.
I note HD+ icon during calls now.
I note the 'signal strength' icon on the top now says 4G LTE instead of just 4G.
I'm experiencing poor signal strength and was hoping flashing detonator and getting CSC 'right' for TMO network would help. It has not. Still low download (~5Mbps) and very poor upload (~0.1-0.05Mbps).
My home/neighborhood has lackluster 4g coverage, one of few spots. The TMO-Sprint merger is partly to blame - they're transitioning sprint towers to TMO/making infrastructure changes due to merger. I'm informed things should improve in coming months.
I have yet to test whether everything works 'right'. So far it looks okay, but i'm setting up the G950F as opposed to using it, and instead to give up trying to make the G950F work as I need it to on Tmobile and go for a Pixel 4a 5G on Google Fi and hope that the difference in phone, and the 5g, and ability to switch between networks will meet my needs.
As another poster noted, the tmobile startup splash screen is annoying. I imagine one could hunt for which file to remove from the detonator and repackage it.
That said, thanks to the developers for this tool. It allowed me to answer whether or not optimizing the G950F for the Tmobile USA network would improve signal strength. As such I no longer have to wonder if there was a way to make the G950F work for me and perhaps in the future, when coverage improves, I might find the G950F works quite well and I can give it to a family member.
Does anyone happen to have the files and can reupload? This may be one of the last ways of obtaining t-mobile functionality for the international S8.
I am specifically looking for " TMB_pie_detonator_bigTINY_G95X_N950.zip "
The mega download link must have recently died... (or it just doesn't work for me?)
@LastQuestion any chance you still have it since you posted fairly recently and seemed to have success?

STOCK FM RADIO FLASHABLE ZIP
This is a twrp flashable zip which enables FM Radio on V20 variants that came without it. Oreo stock only.
Choose your variant from the download link, currently US996_usa, US996_bpt and VS995. Flash in TWRP and your done.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=299040
Note: If you intend to flash this on a variant I'm unaware of first backup the file /system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-lge-elsa.xml , as my zip replaces the original file which may have some permissions needed for other carrier apps to function. In fact that is the only reason why there are different versions of the zip.
Thanks to those who helped test the app.
=======================================
ORIGINAL POST
Hi
I have successfully ported stock Oreo LG FM Radio from a H910 rom to my device.
My device is a VS995 that has been cross-flashed with US996 (USA) KDZ that was rooted using the original dirty santa method.
As this may be of use to those without FM Radio, and because I'm curious myself, I would like to know if my flashable zip will work on V20 device variants that have FM disabled. That would be VS995, F800, US996 and possibly others.
I will provide a download link to my TWRP flashable zip to those who PM me stating their V20 variant e.g. VS995 and who understand to do a full TWRP backup before flashing. There is no uninstaller.
The zip adds files to /system only, nothing in boot partitions, so if it doesn't work or anything goes wrong just restore your backup. This is more than just an apk btw, it includes all the necessary library/framework files etc.
I'm not hugely optimistic it will work on anything other than US996 because that rom is carrier free and FM radio although not installed may not have been fully disabled on it. But it might work on other variants, I just don't know at this stage. Hoping someone can help me to find out!
Note: I am a novice developer thus will be ultra cautious. If anything goes wrong a backup is vital.
This if for TESTING only. Please do and retain the backup even if you decide to keep it should it be functioning properly! Further builds may require that you revert as as yet I haven't written an uninstaller.
I might give this one a go. I recently acquired a US996 USA from another member who moved on to another device. There are very few apps installed so far, and it's on Alpha Omega Oreo. As the ROM is stock-based, that should be close enough to try, right?
UPDATE: I found a bug. Ordinarily FM does not work with Hi-Fi ON by design. It is toggled off automatically when FM app is opened. This is not happening and causes a crash if hifi is set to on. It does work fine when Hi-Fi is user selected to be OFF. I'm looking into it and I'll hold off on releasing it to those who have requested it for the time being.

It depends on how much AO has been modified. As long as you have backup no harm in testing it.
Edit: From what I recall AO Oreo Rom as very few enhancements unlike the nougat version of it. I'd recommend going back to stock and debloat etc. That is what I have done.
Ok so sorted out that bug (got lucky!).
Instructions
Backup to internal storage using a root browser the file /system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-lge-elsa.xml (I might need this to debug).
Do a full system backup
Flash the zip and reboot
Test toggling hifi mode on/off.
Test swapping from music apps to fm and back.
Test your other non music apps to see if they are working normally both with fm on and off.
Report back here your results!
Please do not distribute the dl link or the zip.
Thanks for testing!

ok i flashed on my v20 now.
Fm radio works in the fm app. Everytime I turn on it will automatically turn off hi-fi mode.
When i use lg music and another music app, hi-fi wil turn on automatically. Same when I switch back to fm radio and turn on immediatly, hifi will turn off automatically.
Everything works as it should switching back and forth. Thanks for bringing working fm radio to the us996 :good:
So far, so good also on my end, running the factory-unlocked US996 USA, Alpha Omega Oreo, and mk2000 2.2 Oreo kernel.
Hi-Fi mode turns off/on as expected when starting/stopping the FM radio, just like it does on my H918, also on Alpha Omega Oreo (my LS997 on Nougat somehow stays on Hi-Fi mode at all times). The "pass sound to speaker" button on the top right also works correctly for the radio.
If this also works for users of the other variants without FM radio, then we'll have ourselves a permanent fix. Nice job, OP :good:
That's great guys.
US996 passed initial testing phase.
Hold on to the backups in case anything happens over the next few days. But it's looking good.

Yes that would great. Waiting for someone on VS995 and F800 to test. I expect issues but I might be able to fix them.

STOCK Oreo only. LG system apps won't work on lineageos.
The FM radio app is not a app designed by me, it's just the stock LG app.
Gotcha. my bad. This is a spare device, so I can clean flash it with no hard feelings. Would this work for your test? Or do you have another link you can direct me to?
I *think* there are problems going back to stock from Lineage using a zip. I read anyway. The sure way of doing it is flashing oreo kdz, which isn't quite as straightforward. Up to you which you want to try first.
On a VS995 (i.e., FM neutered model courtesy of Verizon) with final Alpha Omega ROM (based on stock Verizon 20c) and using mk2000 kernel.
All is working really well. Hifi mode turns off as soon as the radio is on, and it refuses to turn on when FM is already on. Can play FM through the speakers or headphones. (headphones must be plugged in)
Starting other music apps (Spotify, IHeartRadio, LG Music) all kills the FM radio cleanly; starting the FM radio causes the other apps to pause playing and FM to start. Did not experience any crashes or strange behavior. Notifications play properly over FM sound.
Doesn't seem to impact any other apps at all, I was just using the phone listening to FM radio for the first time in 2.5 years. Very excited to see this development, I was disappointed when it came out that the Verizon model had FM turned off. I don't expect to use it much but it's nice to have, and especially nice to have things that were obviously turned off for no reason other than Verizon's greed!
VS995 passed initial testing phase.
I'd say give it a week and final phase 2 passed.
Ok so it turned out I needed to do a little adjustment for the Verizon model, nothing major, but thankfully seems to be working well.
What I need now is anyone on F800x or any other model (if there are any left does anyone know?) to send me the xml file I asked you to back up in POST 5.
Also if there is anyone on NOUGAT I might be able to do it for that version as well. Let me know if anyone is interested and I might look into it.
Looking forward to testing to be completed and this to be released. Would welcome the use of the V20's FM radio. Thank you for your hard work.

Haven't heard of further variants not having FM radio enabled, and I wasn't even aware that the Korean ones didn't have it. You may want to ask over in the Korean variants discussion thread for more testers.

Okay, so I just thought it didn't for some reason. Perhaps I'm wrong about that. I've googled it again and I just get conflicting info on it. There are different versions of the US996 though aren't there? One's with carrier bloatware will have to be modified.
What I think I'll do is just release it for the US996usa and VS995 for now.

Yeah, all the phone specs sites are not reliable when it comes to devices with lots of regional variants regarding less obvious features such as all LTE bands and FM radio. This Reddit post seems to hint at the Korean models not having FM radio.
As for the other US996 versions, there are two from smaller, regional U.S. carriers that are sometimes referred to by devs as "US996 Dirty Santa": US996 UCL (U.S. Cellular) and US996 BPT (BrightPoint). I don't expect these models to have as much carrier bloat as the ones from the larger U.S. carriers (H910, H918, VS995, LS997). There are definitely some users of them out there on the V20 Subreddit based on what you see on the flairs next to their names.
Thank you for taking the time to make this work for my us996 bpt variant. Not having a radio was a disappointment when I first rooted the phone. Terrific work, all seems well!
I read on a forum post that technically its possible to make LG G5 VoLTE compatible? How would someone go about this?
It's not unless you are on stock or use a stock based rom. The drivers needed for VOLTE are locked down by LG and cell Carriers

You need root, and european cust files.
Make a clean install and put the open com files in the cust folder/partition which can be found in root. Make a few adjustments, got to the hidden menü and find the ux lte settings and turn the first 6 switches to on.
For deeper information you can ask here but all of this i formation can be found in this forum.
