Data problems on all roms above 2.3.3

I know i'm not the only one having this problem, its been posted about before but no answers so id like to see if someone else who didn't get to see those can see this and come up with a solution..
I use an unlocked G2X with Cincinnati Bell, currently running Weapon. I have no problem at all on any rom though that is 2.3.3, any rom over that like 2.3.4, 2.3.4 etc data has NEVER worked, not i had it but lost it when i rebooted, never . i've never been able to run CM7 or MIUI because of this, and yes before someone suggests it my APN settings are correct i've checked them 1000 times they are the same as when on 2.3.3 roms, i've hard booted after to try to get data flowing a million times, i've followed installation instructions 100 percent and still have never had data working on those roms.
even on the new CM7 where the APN issue is fixed, data still does not work. Its obviously something in roms over 2.3.3 that is creating this problem. I BEG, BEG someone please help find an answer i would love you and most likely donate. Thanks.

You obviously haven't been checking the Development Section lately. There are many threads on this issue, and it has been fixed already. (Well, for the most part)

obviously you didn't read my post. I have NEVER had data work above roms with 2.3.3, most people have it then lose it. I also stated that the new kernel from ttbal and the newest CM where the issues are supposedly fixed I still can't get data. Please, read my post entirely before replying, thank you.

I've been following the development threads, because I too have been having data issues deeper than just missing APNs. It actually seems to be an issue with the entire radio side as a whole on any rom that's not based on the factory firmware. It's become much more stable, but still I can only get a GPS instant lock immediately after a hard reboot and can only receive multimedia messages immediately after a reboot as well. Another thing I've noticed, is I will get a "No internet connection" warning whenever I open the browser, despite having a data connection, and the page still loads.
Also, why do I have to set all my carrier information (my phone number, and voicemail number specifically) when the other factory firmware roms can pull this from the sim card?
I love all the features of CM7 and it's based roms, but the data stability has made it unusable for me.

You can't edit T-MO's one. You can copy and make a duplicate of that and then edit it, but that just beats the point.
And yeah I STILL have the same problem.
I'm not a t-mobile customer so I need to add my APN manually. And yes after a hard I can see my list of APNs and I'm allowed to add APNs but still no data. even after the latest stable version. And even after that with the Dragon Kernel with the supposed APN fix.
Really hope someone can shed some light here.

oh ok try going into recovery menu and wipe all data then boot up again maybe then you can see the apn

Since you are rooted go into adb and try the following. Download the attached zip file and extract the "apns-conf.xml" file and put it in the same directory you run adb from. Then execute the following adb commands.
# adb shell mv /system/etc/apns-conf.xml /system/etc/apns-conf.xml.bak
# adb push apns-conf.xml /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
# adb shell chmod 644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
Then go into apn settings and press menu and choose to restore to default. The TMO one will still show but now your Cincinnati Bell one should show also; and it will be a default apn like TMO now (they are on equal footing now). Make sure you press the radio button to make the Cincinnati Bell one green, it it wasn't already. Hopefully your data will work after this. Plus you will now have global apn settings automatically for virtually any sim you use from a GSM carrier worldwide.

Thanks for the help, I'm not where near an xda and phone "noob" but i have never used adb I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to do that if it risks bricking my phone. Unless you have any opinion on how doing it or if its not really complicated I don't think I will try that.

There is no risk of bricking your phone if you stick to the commands I gave you. Just highlight and copy them and you can paste them into the command prompt window by right clicking and selecting paste.
Download the attached zip with the adb.exe and two dlls need for it to run. All you are doing is backing up the apn configuration file, replacing it with a new one and setting permissions so the phone can use the new file. Then you reset the apns to default and the phone will set the apns from that file based on the sim in the phone.
Go into settings, applications and turn on usb debugging, if it is not on already. Then connect your phone to your computer and make sure the adb drivers load (you can find the driver pack by searching this site or installing them from the LG Updater app). To make sure the phone is connected in the command prompt window type "adb devices" and hit enter. The phone should be shown as connected. If not, the drivers are not installed.
Run the command prompt from the same directory where you unzip the three adb files and put the apns-conf.xml file in the same directory. That makes it easier for you to do this. It is actually quite simple and will take only a minute or so.

Flashable zip to replace apns-conf.xml file
Here is a flashable zip that can be installed with clockworkmod recovery. It does the same thing but does not back up your existing file. If you are running a stock rom this will prevent an ota from installing. If you are running a custom rom it doesn't matter as you cannot get ota updates anyway.
Just boot into CWM recovery and flash this zip file. Reboot and reset your apns to default.

Ok sweet, should i flash it while on my current rom that works or flash CM7 then flash it?
quick edit- it won't effect my phone being unlocked and lock it will it? after those questions i'm done asking and i will give it a try good sir thanks

The phone remains unlocked once you unlock it. Nothing you will do will relock it.

I have some problem and something more.
GPRS data will not work, my default APN is mss.life.com.by, and I see arrows in my status bar, but internet not worked.
So, I changed it to internet.life.com.by(got it from operator instructions) and I anymore see arrows and internet still not work.
I have an idea with broadband, I think in my country other radio frequency.
But I can find other broadband for LG G2x

HDC Galaxy S3 G9300 - ROOT

Has anyone got a root method that works for the HDC Galaxy S3 G9300?
Have tried Bin4ry v18 and another script but they didn't work.
The phone has JB 4.1.1. The Kernel is 3.4.0 dated Dec 3 2012. The build number is; e1920_v77_zlh_9p017_asx_20121203
Thanks for any help or advice.
Is now rooted, read on..

Me too. I've spent probably 6 hours today messing around with the 1.8 version script, on both windows 7 and Linux. It always fails the same place, with mount permission denied ... are you root?
I have other issues with the G9300 that I'd like to tackle, like WiFi range, but digging in requires root access. Here's hoping somebody smarter than I can find a way to root this thing.

Same here. I need root to build a custom CWM recovery.
Anyone has rooted phone that can help rip out the rom?

The tutorial isn't clear about how to run Android Kitchen. In the Android Kitchen folder is a script called 'menu' that has to be executed by cygwin. Launch cygwin first with the .bat file in its install folder. Then, navigate to the 'menu' script. Hint: '/cygdrive/c/<path to Android Kitchen>/menu'
Nowhere does the tutorial say to copy 'Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip' onto your sd. You will want to do that before beginning the final recovery step.

Its great you figured out a root method, and thanks for sharing it :good:
I have just run through it on my phone and all has gone well until I got to where mobileuncle tools flashes the recovery.img. It needs Superuser access to do that and I don't have it. I am thinking it must be something to do with the Menu script you mentioned. How to you run that script? What is the command for it?
Thanks for any help!

Sounds like you're 95% there

From what you've written I will make a few assumptions. It sounds like you successfully did the rebuild with Android Kitchen, where it created a new recovery.img. And then you used SP Flash Tool to successfully transfer the new image to your phone.
You don't need mobileuncle. It's a great utility to have, but you don't need if for this process. Install it later when this is all done.
If the above assumptions are correct, you already have downloaded the modded recovery to your phone and you're 95% done. It sounds like all you need to do is put the zip install for su, superuser, and busybox onto your sd card, boot into recovery (upvolume+power), navigate to 'install zip from sd card', install the su-superuser-busybox zip, and reboot.
If that doesn't work, I suggest working your way back up the chain – re-downlod the new recovery.img; if that fails, rebuild the new recovery.img; etc.

Hi - Yes you are right, I have created the recovery.img and transferred it to the phone.
Thanks for the tip that I don't need to use mobileuncle.. So I have booted up into CWM and have the su-superuser-busybox zip on my sd card. Trouble is CWM doesn't recognise the sd card and says E: unknown volume. That is strange because android sees it fine when the phone starts.
I am still wondering if my problem is from the the android kitchen part. I wasn't able to run android kitchen. I think I better run through the process again. How did you bring up the 'menu' in kitchen? I ran cygwin first and then navigated to kitchens path and used /menu and also ./menu but just got an error message. Even dumped all of kitchens files into cygwins root directory in case I had messed up the navigation path but still got the same error message whenever I tried to run menu. How did you get it to run please?
Thanks for your help :fingers-crossed:

I have uploaded the recovery.img that I created here. Remember, because it works on my phone is no guarantee that it won't break yours. You use it solely at your own risk. Also, you will still need to use CWM to install the su+superuser+busybox zip from your sd.

Next problem - no 3G
Having the phone rooted, I've gone on to the next problem that has no ready solution.
That is, no 3G. I use the AT&T network in the USA. AT&T uses WCDMA on 850MHz and 1900MHz for their 3G service. The HDC G9300+ doesn't support WCDMA at 1900MHz, which is the band that AT&T uses most. Where I am (Phoenix AZ) there is only 1900MHz service, which means that I can't get any 3G. Only 2G "Edge".
The problem *might* be remedied through software - or maybe not. If the MTK6577 radio doesn't support 1900MHz in some hardware sense, then the game is over. But I doubt that for two reasons. First, from a marketing standpoint, the AT&T network is too big to just ignore when designing a generic platform like the MTK6577. Second, from a hardware standpoint, the transceiver frequencies are synthesized from one base oscillator through a set of on-chip frequency multipliers and dividers. If the MTK6577 can generate frequencies in the 2100MHz band it can almost surely generate frequencies in the 1900MHz band. What's required is a software driver that properly sets the multipliers and dividers.
My bet is that somewhere out there in the world there is a software driver for the phone's radio that can set the chip to work in the 1900MHz band.
Can somebody find that driver so that we can bundle it into a ROM for this phone? Or a tool to adjust the driver that's bundled with the phone?

Please tell me

Thanks for uploaded your recovery file. I thought I would try that before going through the process of redoing mine. This time it kicked straight into CWM without any sdcard errors, so was able to install the zip file. It is now nicely rooted and has been running for several hours, and as yet I have found no problems.
Great job and thanks for sharing your knowledge :good:

First time I purchased from them, found them very good and had no problems. Took about 15 days to get it. Considering there were xmas & new year holidays at the time it was pretty good.

How to root your HDC Galaxy S3 G9300+
For those wanting to root their HDC Galaxy S3 G9300+ phones follow these steps;
Download wseverin's 'recovery.img' from post #10.
Download my 'MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt', 'su+superuser+busybox.zip', 'SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01.rar' and 'MT657x_USB_Win7_Driver.zip' files that I have attached to this post.
Install the USB drivers to your computer if you don't already have them.
Copy the su+superuser+busybox.zip file to your phones SD Card.
Run Flash Tool (Flash_tool.exe) in administrator mode.
Load my scatter file.
Next, backup your original recovery file (This is very important in case something gets messed up) Do this using the 'Read-Back' function. Select Hex and enter 0x1588000 for Start Address and 0x600000 for Length. Before clicking the Read Back button, shutdown your phone and remove the battery and USB cable. Next click Read Back, plug in the USB cable and replace the battery (But do not switch the phone on) The software will backup the file and come up with an OK window if successful.
Next flash your phone with wseverin's recovery.img. Do this from the Download tab in Flash Tool and tick the Recovery option. Before pushing the Download button you will also need to shutdown the phone, remove the battery and USB cable as above.
Next start the phone holding the volume-up + power buttons. This will boot the phone into CWM. Choose 'Install zip from sdcard', then 'choose zip from sdcard', navigate to the su+superuser+busybox.zip file and select yes to install it.
That's it! So easy!!
If you followed the steps correctly, after you reboot the phone it should have root access.. However, be warned that your phone could be bricked if something goes wrong or your phone is a different model, so do this at your own risk and backup your original first!
PS: thanks to wseverin for the modded recovery file and being the 1st to root this phone.

Do I detect a hint of cynicism?
It seems to be a decently built phone. The display is good; actually better resolution than many competing models. Fit and finish are as good as you'll get anywhere. The capacitive touch screen is just fine. GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth all work well except that the WiFi range is a bit anemic. Software is pretty much standard Android Jelly Bean. I consider it worth what I paid for it, especially since I am not about to spend 3X that for a cell phone. Oh, and it actually makes and receives phone calls!

Yes mine is also 1Gb RAM. I have read that HDC and Star are the same, however I don't know this for sure. This is where I purchased my phone;

Does yours look the same??
If yours looks the same you could always try it I suppose, but make sure you backup your phones entire ROM first. That way you can reinstate the original in case it doesn't work.

Root PK1 with working LTE and voice/mms/hotspot

OK so after reading a bunch on rooting the different firmwares I went ahead and gave the root a shot on our 935P running PK1. It was successfully rooted and runs with no lag whatsoever, no reboots, and LTE is working as well as voice and MMS. I did not make any of the needed files I just found them on XDA and put them to use. Please make sure you thank the devs for this would not be possible without them. Here are the steps I took:
1. Download the following items on your Windows PC:
A. ADB
B. Odin found at http://www.filedropper.com/princecomsyodin
C. Stock PK1 TAR
D. The engineer boot.img from the thread labeled root 10/25 found at http://www.filedropper.com/samsungg935xqcrootedboot
E. The SU install package from same thread found at https://download.chainfire.eu/970/SuperSU/SuperSU-v2.76-S7QC.zip
2. With phone in DL mode use Odin to flash all 5 items of stock PK1 TAR. Let phone boot up and activate on the network.
3. Download Package Disabler from Play store and use it to disable the following items:
A. Bootagent
B. Carrier Setup Wizzard
C. Chameleon
D. Com.android.carrierconfig
E. MobileInstaller
F. SAE
G. Samsung DM Phone Interface
H. Samsung DM service
I. Setup Wizzard
J. securityLogAgent
4. Power off phone and start in DL mode
5. After installing ADB open up Odin and click AP and select the engineer boot.img file
6. With phone in DL mode connect to PC and flash boot.img through Odin (once complete phone will boot up)
7. Once phone boots up run the Root.bat script. After a successful run the phone will reboot and SuperSU will be installed.
8. Download build.prod editor from Playstore
9. Use build.prop editor to change the following 3 items:
A. ro.cdma.default_alpha from chameleon to sprint
B. ro.cdma.default_numeric from 310000 to 310120
C. ro.build.characteristics from Chameleon to Sprint
10. GoTo settings, security, other security settings and turn off automatic updates.
11. Reboot
12. Install Wireless Tether Router from Playstore
13. After install open and set desired broadcast name and password DO NOT change anything else.
14. Turn your phone's Wifi on

Your 935P on PK1 is now rooted with working LTE, voice, MMS, and hotspot.

thank you very much for your help. i confirm that this solution works on PL6 stock and everything like you said is working. This is what i did.
i followed everything you listed except 3 things.
1) i needed stockfile for PL6 and when unzipped i used 4 files . for the csc file i used home, so it preserves data.
2) for part I i didn't know which wizard setup, lol so i disabled both.
3) i also added securityLogAgent. to the disabled list, because i kept getting that notification that if u click it. it reboots and gets rid of root.
thank you once again, and once again this is working on PL6, just make sure u download PL6 stock

going totry this on pl6 today. wish me luck. any more tips for trying this on pl6? what "home" file did you use?

What update are you referring to? I'm assuming 7.0? Any idea when it's coming out?

I got the update yesterday.

Could you link which package disabler you used? Some of them have been removing some of the packages that you can disable (im guessing from pressure from samsung).
Also, what did you do to get no lag?
Thanks!

How'd it go? Looking to do this on PL6.

Hey guys. Im having some problems with this method because of ADB.
I flash the boot.img but once I run root.bat it goes though everything fine until I get to the line "adb install -r SuperSU-v2.76.apk" an error appears from adb saying "Error could not access the package manager. Is the system running?"
Ive tried making it the specific path. ex: "adb install -r /sdcard/Download/SuperSU-v2.76.apk" and stuff like it. (Im also not sure if its installing the apk from the file on the phone or the folder on my PC.
Any help would be appreciated. Running PK1 S7 Edge Sprint.
on top of this my phone just vibrates and lands at the Sprint LTE screen while it doesnt do anything. This is probably the problem. But I have the same version as #1 so whats the problem?

OK so after reading a bunch on rooting the different firmwares I went ahead and gave the root a shot on our 935P running PK1. It was successfully rooted and runs with no lag whatsoever, no reboots, and LTE is working as well as voice and MMS. I did not make any of the needed files I just found them on XDA and put them to use. Please make sure you thank the devs for this would not be possible without them. Here are the steps I took:
1. Download the following items on your Windows PC:
A. ADB
B. Odin found at http://www.filedropper.com/princecomsyodin
C. Stock PK1 TAR
D. The engineer boot.img from the thread labeled root 10/25 found at http://www.filedropper.com/samsungg935xqcrootedboot
E. The SU install package from same thread found at https://download.chainfire.eu/970/SuperSU/SuperSU-v2.76-S7QC.zip
2. With phone in DL mode use Odin to flash all 5 items of stock PK1 TAR. Let phone boot up and activate on the network.
3. Download Package Disabler from Play store and use it to disable the following items:
A. Bootagent
B. Carrier Setup Wizzard
C. Chameleon
D. Com.android.carrierconfig
E. MobileInstaller
F. SAE
G. Samsung DM Phone Interface
H. Samsung DM service
I. Setup Wizzard
J. securityLogAgent
4. Power off phone and start in DL mode
5. After installing ADB open up Odin and click AP and select the engineer boot.img file
6. With phone in DL mode connect to PC and flash boot.img through Odin (once complete phone will boot up)
7. Once phone boots up run the Root.bat script. After a successful run the phone will reboot and SuperSU will be installed.
8. Download build.prod editor from Playstore
9. Use build.prop editor to change the following 3 items:
A. ro.cdma.default_alpha from chameleon to sprint
B. ro.cdma.default_numeric from 310000 to 310120
C. ro.build.characteristics from Chameleon to Sprint
10. GoTo settings, security, other security settings and turn off automatic updates.
11. Reboot
12. Install Wireless Tether Router from Playstore
13. After install open and set desired broadcast name and password DO NOT change anything else.
14. Turn your phone's Wifi on
15. Hit Enable Wifi Router and grant SU permission when asked.

Hello, i am currently running PJ2 on my samsung edge, do you think i should use the root method for pj2 or take the update to pk1 and then root?thanks in advanced

I can confirm pk1 method works. Not sure about root on pj2.

After obtaining root from the OP I downloaded the current stable SuperSU 2.79 flashable zip. I flashed it from FlashFire. I received a security warning. Custom binary blocked by SECURE BOOT (boot.img). I then flashed the OP engineer boot.img in ODIN. this fixed the update binary issue, woot, and rebooted again fine.

I also got this to work on the third try on pj2. The first two were one hundred percent my mistake as both times I missed something very plainly stated in the OP. I would say to anyone experiencing difficulties to read over the threads where the OP files originate. That's what allowed my bone head to see what I was doing wrong. I can't believe I finally have root and hotspot! Thank you for all the hard work folks!

Oh man. Do you even know how much you helped me out. I have succesfully rooted 7.0 on my s7 edge. Will post tutorial soon, much credit to you sir you are awesome.
Edit:https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935p-spr-root-nougat-7-0-data-t3568780

I can confirm this works 100% on PK1. Thank you so much

Any of you have any tips on fixing the lag? I love root but might go back due to lag and battery drain

In my experience Sprint devices don't typically get much love. I've considered building a rom for the G935P but I haven't touched that stuff since the LG G2 was a new phone, so I'm a wee bit behind on the curve. I'll check this out though.

Man I admire your work. With your help I have already created a method for Sprint SM-G935U QD2. I'm always willing to be a beta tester if you feel I'm worthy. I would like this thread but I reached my quota lol. I'm going to test this method out as well and post results.
I was on P rooted, wiped cache 3 times, factory wiped data, reboot to bootloader.
In AP i flashed U firmware [BP, AP, CL, CSC] and let it install and run setup. (If you think you're in a boot loop its probably not true because it takes 5-10 mins to reach any setup screen, so wait it out.)
LTE activated, restarted phone, and then i applied Gmail Account. Skip Samsung Account.
After reaching home screen I went to turn on developer options>OEM unlock>usb debugging. TURN OFF verify apps via usb and auto update system.
Turned off Software updates automatically, then clicked manual updates and registered device. Clicked again and let update search.
Auto-updated Security policy in Lock Screen & security. Make sure automatic isn't enabled.
Turn auto update in Google Play Store off.
Close All Recent Apps.
Power Off.
Power On into Download Mode.
Run ODIN Again and insert:
S7edge_Qualcomm.tar into AP. Start flash.
Once reaching home screen, immediately run Command prompt as administrator and redirect folder to:
Nougat_S7_UFitrm_Root_2_79
Type root.bat and then type enter. [Don't run root_with_tweaks.bat]
Device will reboot and don't press any key like it asks you until you reach home page, and device connects to PC by Auto-Run/Opening folder.
When Drive is listed in PC then press enter and SuperSU+Flashfire will install then do a long reboot. 5 mins.
Once at home screen, you will see it is Samsung as carrier. SMS/VOICE should work. MMS/DATA NO.
But we will fix it by going to:
Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
Delete Wholsales OTA apn by selecting, clicking top right menu, and delete.
Now the Global Roaming APN... select it.
Change the whole APN to:
Name:APN2 LTE Internet
APN:n.ispsn
MMSC:http://www.mms.sprintpcs.com
Multimedia message proxy
68.28.31.7
Multimedia message port:
80
MCC
310
MNC
000 // Do Not CHANGE!
APN type
default,supl,mms,dun,fota
APN Protocol
IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol
IPv4/IPv6
Bearer
LTE,
Top right menu>SAVE! Make sure APN2 LTE Internet is enabled and by the dot being blue. LTE should display icon and reset device to verify it stuck.
Flash LTE Icon FIx with FlashFire which is in App Drawer.
Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5 works as well.

Im kinda seeing why there is no development in Sprint forum. Can't get anybody to try anything. The status is the SprintTest rom boots a custom rom with stock boot.img which means this could work just like Verizon does with working samsung pay etc I just need to get data working. I only have one person willing to try stuff. If there is no interest in this rom I will probably close the thread. Im uploading a new Ufirm and a new SprintTest rom but like I said If no interest then I will go back to my world and close the thread

If you could give the SprintTest3 a try I know it boots I switched some CSC stuff and removed a couple of apps so maybe it will connect to network. If it doesnt maybe we can try some things

I am currently on your method [slightly twisted] with 4G enabled. Data but no voice/sms...working on it.
I chose S8 all the way which was probably a mistake.
The installer is quite intriguing.
Remove about everything debloat.
But SuperSU is working fine. Going to start over but it definitely holds a root+data.
Anyways ill keep you posted and Good Job. Thanks.

I will change CSC code to XAS this should allow editing of APNs. I will reupload
The whole point of this rom is not to root the rom If the rom booted it means you have a custom rom running with stock boot.img which should not be possible. Its like the Verizon version if your not rooted you can still use samsung pay snapchat etc and any other safetynet checking apps

Of course, I started over because i was tweaking stuff and my SuperSu got disabled. I'm having a hard time repeating it but ill manage it. Its pissing me off because I've been trying different ways to gain sms/voice but my SuperSu broke and binary needed updating which caused any service to be canceled. This left me with no bars and the do not disturb icon for signal. Because some of the steps don't work like they do for Verizon, a lot of of your files needed to be switched around and flashed multiple times. I had to improvise. but once i secure this process... probably today, I'll type it up if you'd like, or head on to your next plan.

[GUIDE] Enabling LTE on China Telecom (and others) on Pixel 3 XL (Android 10)

Being a huge fan of the Pixel series and living in China is not easy. Just upgraded my XL to 3 XL and naturally I had to enable the LTE to work in China. Regardless what you may see on the Chinese forums (gfan), all the files you need are already present on the phone.
Files you need:
1) The ADB bridge for Windows
2) The most recent factory image
3) Magisk Manager
4) Chinese-Carrier-Pixel-3-xl-LTE-VoLTE-Enabler (Magisk Manager module) - Github direct: https://github.com/wangdaning/Chinese-Carrier-Pixel-3-xl-LTE-VoLTE-Enabler (big thank you to wangdaning for allowing me to publish it.) Also attached as a zip file to this post.
If you don't understand what these files are for or where to find them, perhaps you should ask a friend to help you. Flashing anything wrong could result in an expensive brick. Always backup your data, never blindly trust a post, and do your research. This post is in good faith and I am not liable for your actions.
Now, I don't have any of the variants of 3 (Pixel 3, 3a, 3a XL) but I would assume it would work in a similar fashion; however, see above and do your research. Check file structures, read some posts, backup data, etc. If someone does try it, please report both success and failure to build the knowledge.
1) We need to ensure our phone has an unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader is locked, you WILL lose all your data. Ensure you backup everything you want to keep. There is no getting around this step. We need to be a developer first. Go to Setting->About Phone->Build number (tap it until it says you are a developer). Then go to System-> Developer options -> OEM unlocking: turn it on. Next we need to reboot to the bootloader by resetting the phone and hold the down volume key as it reboots. In the bootloader, first use the volume keys to find and select the unlock the bootloader command with the power key. Then, we need to send the following command:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
You will receive a wipe and security warning. Accept and reboot the phone. It will wipe and reset your phone to factory.
2) I started from a stock image (May update; QQ2A.200501.001.B2). I suggest you start from there.
3) While we have the May update in front of us, we need to extract the boot.img so it can be patched to root the phone. TWRP doesn't support us at the time of writing on Android 10. (Hope that new baby is healthy!) The boot image can be found in the zip image-crosshatch-*release code*.zip/boot.img. Transfer this boot.img to the phone to be modded to enable root.
4) Next the phone needs to be rooted. You need to download the most recent version of Magisk Manager. Once installed, open up Magisk Manager. It will report no Magisk and that's ok, we are installing it now.
5) Tap install on Magisk and it will ask if you want to install, so install. Then you need to select the method. We will choose "Select and patch a file." Tell it where you saved your boot.img and it will patch it to allow us to root the phone. The output file we need is called magisk_patched.img is on the phone. Move it back to your directory with your ADB bridge.
6) Next we need to flash this patched boot file to our phone to complete the rooting process. Reboot to the bootloader and send the two commands:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
Reboot the phone and congrats, you are rooted with an unlocked bootloader.
7) To prepare for the install of the mock files that will point to the files on the phone, we need to delete a few checking files. Using your file explorer of choice that can gain root access delete the following:
/data/vendor/modem_fdr/fdr_check
everything in /data/vendor/radio/ (make the target folder empty)
8) Download the LTE_enabler from Github or the zip file here. Open Magisk Manager and open the menu -> Modules -> "Yellow Plus" to add. Point it to the zip file.
9) Reboot and enjoy using your phone as intended.
I tried to be as detailed as I could but not be over verbose either. If any step is unclear, there are more detailed guides on this forum concerning bootloader unlocking and Magisk rooting on Android 10. As a bonus tip, does the "x" showing no data bother you and stop some services from working? If so, this can be fixed by re-pointing your captive portal to something inside the firewall. This can be accomplished with one line of code:
Code:
adb shell "settings put global captive_portal_https_url https://developers.google.cn/generate_204"
Enjoy and if you have questions about Pixel and China, feel free to post them. Support right to repair!

Could use more details, otherwise it is hard to help. It definitely is a module and installs fine. Something else is going on.

is this for china only? I have a Canadian 3 XL and moved to Bucharest, need to enable VOLTE on Orange Romania. I'm also on Android 11

It should work, but you would have to slightly modify the files. Instead of pointing to the Chinese carrier modem file you would want to point to the orange Romania file. I looked and there is an mbn file for orange Romania, it is just not included in the mbn_sw.txt. Then again, have you made sure Orange has activated VOLTE for your device?

I contacted Orange and they say VOLTE should be working, that the issue is my device not being compatible with their network. I also bought a Samsung watch 3 with LTE and can't activate LTE through my phone, i assume it's due to the same issue.
I'll follow your guide and report back.
Should be no issue if i am using Android 11 instead of 10 right?

Should be fine, you just need to make sure that you modify the mbn_sw.txt file to include the location of the Orange Romania mbn file. You might just try this first:

ok i spoke too fast, while VOLTE is enabled now in the settings, when i make a call, it switches to H+ which means its not using VOLTE. any idea? I modified the .txt file to include the location of the romania .mbn file, i modified the file directly on the phone though, after installing the module with magisk manager

Not sure, to many variables at play. I mean it could be that orange Romania only has VoLTE in certain areas/cases. Try using *#*#4636#*#* and phone information, see what it says.

I did that, both VOLTE and Wifi calling say provisioned. I guess it might be something on Orange's end.
I saw a reddit post for a Pixel 3 having the same issue and the carrier ended up doing something on their side.

Confirmed working on Pixel 3 w/ Android 11!

You would have to find the location of the files on the Pixel 4 as I am not sure where they are. Then modify the module to point to the correct location.
