N920A AT&T (Required VoLTE or Root or Unlock Bootloader or Any Better Alternative)
Dear's
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920A with Andriod nougat 7.0 (which U.S with AT&T). So basically i'm back to india. Now i want to use jio network sim card which only supports VoLTE.
I will post my questions in order, because since days i have been doing research and found nothing helpful.
1. I'm trying to use Jio network, which requires VoLTE, any patch or fix available?
2. Since i couldn't find patch tried another variant Rom which brings me to a problem of Bootloader by AT&T. Any way to unlock bootloader?
3. Now since i cannot find unlock bootloader i tried to go for root. Here goes with more issue there is no root. (Available if downgrade but would be stuck on some 5.1.1 also no way of downgrading). Any way to root?
4. Since no root i tried with many setting change at APN, *#*#4346#*#* (VoLTE wont get enabled), and so on. Nothing VoLTE shows up in settings. Any better option?
5. Wanted call recording since Jio 4G app is VoIP based call recording apps wont work with that. Any better suggestion if using Jio 4G Calling app with recording?
I want to try and enable VoLTE and wifi calling on Three uk on a J8110 as the signal is marginal in the two locations I'd like to use the phone from and coming from a samsung S7, I can see that the phones a few db's down on signal to start off with, so I really need the VoLTE or wifi to make the phone useful to me.
Now under this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-1/help/google-dialer-volte-t3975441
They say they managed to get VoLTE going using root.
1. Root
2. File Manager with root support
3. Go to /oem/modem-config
4. Delete "anysim" folder
5. Rename "S9033.1" to "anysim"
6. Go here " https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80231731&postcount=395" and download "VoEnabler.zip" From the Google Drive link
7. Put "VoEnabler.zip" onto your device and install via Magisk and reboot.
8. You should now be able to use VoLTE and VoWiFi.

So my three questions are;
Is this likely to work? e.g allow VoLTE and maybe wifi calling
Will it break safetynet by rooting the phone? (as I use internet banking)
Will it break anything else like DRM keys.
I see there appears to be multiple rooting options for Android these days if I can do the above is there a particular rooting method thats more likely to preserve the safetynet compatibility?
And maybe the DRM keys.
As I'm only interested in Enabling VoLTE and maybe wifi calling.
As an aside to that I see in this thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-1/help/enable-volte-ee-uk-t3958112/page3
That some people on EE have got VoLTE working without anything special is this just because EE is just a network sl*t and just allow anyone on there system?

If you're on the Customized UK firmware, VoLTE should work by default.
I have the Customized UK firmware downloaded and I just checked, and it does include the required MBN file for VoLTE on H3G in UK. I am on the Dual SIM J9110 however, but I reckon it should be the same on the single SIM J8110 as well.
Yes, rooting will break SafetyNet on the Xperia 1. Magisk Hide works on some banking apps, but some of still fail to work once the bootloader is unlocked.
You will lose DRM keys, but from what I've heard, they are restored if you re-lock the bootloader.

Yeah can confirm its not working on three uk, as other have already said in other threads..
*#*#4636#*#* > Phone info > VoLTE provisioned is grayed out.
Also cannot access three on the 800mhz LTE band 20
TBH three when I spoke to them just wiped there hands of the issue and said we don't sell the phone so speak to sony.
So much for industry standards.

You could try the method that enables the VoLTE toggle. In theory it should work with just that because the required files for IMS registration to work are already included in the modem for the Xperia 1.
why not just flashing another FW before losing DRM keys while rooting
we had a user he used a non European Market Xperia 1
no option for voLTE or Wificalling
after flashing the European FW everything was working just fine for him without any kind of rooting
I have flashed South East Asian (SEA) on mine and it has option for the VoLTE in the Network & internet > Mobile Network
It has Enable VoLTE and it can be toggled on and off. (although we don't have the VoLTE here )
If they are already providing VoLTE. Flash SEA firmware.
Hello guys I am living in turkey and my carrier support both but i have a problem. oneplus doesn't officially supported in turkey and i think problem started in here. so i did logkit+engineer mode thing and volte works on my carrier (not for the other carriers) and we used to use qpst(pdc) for enable vowifi (and volte depends on carrier). But i realized that after latest update i changed vodafone_hungary to germany_volte_vodafone but when I restarted phone it turned automatically vodafone_hungary again and with that settings Vowifi didn't work. i tried 2-3 times and still same. i tried open full port switch with adb shell it also didn't work
Any solution will be appreciated
I have a nord n10 that i got from tmobile that has unlocked bootloader and is running android 13 gsi the evolutionx version. No matter what gsi I flash it only has an option between 3g and lte, but lte does not work. It shows that its currently on tmobile edge where only messages and calling works. Anyone know a fix to make the lte work?
Did you try that: go into Settings, Phh Treble Settings, IMS features,Install IMS APK for Qualcomm vendor, Reboot the device, Go back to IMS features and request IMS network, and Create IMS APN.
what do I do once I create ims apn.

Go Internet settings/operator settings and enable VoLTE.
Hello, I am using XQ-CQ72 Hong Kong firmware in Korea.
I am using an LG U+ carrier that can make calls only when VoLTE is activated, and the user agent must be in the form of [TTA-VoLTE/2.0 (Any String) LGU] to operate VoLTE normally.
However, each time you boot, the ims_user_agent changes to [SonyXQ-CQ72 Build/64.1.A.0.929], and you must re-upload the ims_user_agent to efs explorer, and then turn the SIM off and on again for VoLTE to work. Don't you have any ideas to solve this?
User Agent changes in "Pixel IMS" didn't really work.
