Despite so much efforts on various forums and on twitter, our device manufacturer isn't providing us volte updates for the Moto G4 plus. I have extracted the fsg.mbn of a latest Mo model. We cannot flash the same because fsg.mbn is device specific relative to its size. Anyone interested can try out since fsg errors does not lead to IMEI errors or baseband unknown.
Requirements:-
1. A rooted device and with a root file manager
2. A fresh installation of any LOS ROM of your choice after changing the below files.
3. Latest stock firmware (fastboot) if in rare case RJIL volte disappears in the process.
Procedure:- The fsg folder in the phone has about 12kb free memory preventing any file additions. We can delete mbns of sprint and Verizon USA which will give us some space to paste the files. Sprint and verizon files are located in the fsg folder. Deleting them can provide upto 444kb. We require only around 100kb space.
Copy and replace mcfg_summary.xml in the fsg folder. Airtel volte parameters are added into it. Give permissions rw-r-r.
Copy and paste airtel_volte.mbn in fsg folder, in athene>folder no 4 and in india>customer folder. Give permissions rw-r-r
Airtel volte won't start instantly on the current rom without a reinstall of the rom.
Please see the plmn 40498 in the screenshot which shows volte and hd. Tested on RR 8.1 64bit. Volte bitrate is between 12.20 kbps to 14.20 kbps as shown in network signal guru.
stock fsg.mbn consisting of volte parameters of various networks
This is for development purposes. Uploaded fsg.mbn of a latest Moto device with volte updates. fsg.mbn can be edited/ extracted by using root explorer. If anyone can make a modified fsg.mbn for Moto G4 plus, it should not be more than 2.0 MB that can be flashed by fastboot. airtel_volte.mbn and vodafone_ind_volte.mbn can also be viewed by root explorer.
Maybe this information can help developers. https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/7n8pes/enable_volte_trhough_modem_mod_nv_items/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72810494&postcount=20
can u make a flashable zip?
Anything about idea sim volte support?
I don't think we can flash the modified fsg as fastboot flash fsg fsg.zip because I don't know the procedure to recompile fsg.mbn. I could not find a specific idea_volte.mbn but the parameters are present in mcfg_summary.xml so idea volte must be working without the mbn.
Another thing that I observed is that I am using the above mcfg_summary.xml of G6 play ( attached above) with the new rjil_volte and now my (Jio) sim1 data does not stop when call comes on sim2. I have replaced the original rjil_ind.mbn in my fsg folder with the new one.

Means to let it work we have to clean flash the stock or an dirty flash can work?
Not working on aex nougat. If it works for me, I'll try to make a flashable zip or image.

After this OP post, i tried it on G4plus but didn't work,
Then i was going to try on g5s plus, but g5s plus already had those airtelxxx.mbn files by stock but it never worked on that device (moto needs to enable it?).. so i think it need more work to enable volte on airtel than putting this file..
The volte setting in fsg folder is troublesome for the first time. Once Airtel volte starts, can flash any number of roms. I could get Airtel volte only once on stock rooted 7.0. Currently using Bootlegger 64bit 8.1 and all Volte networks working. RJIL volte parameters are very different than that of our stock athene fsg.

Faramroze, can you help me get Jio volte on a moto G4 plus EU version purchased from middle east. I've tried flashing the Indian stock ROM (retin) multiple times, but it automatically detects the phone as European (reteu) and installs the EU modem. I've tried flashing the Indian modem too, but again the same result. It automatically detects the phone and flashes the EU modem (or the modem without Jio volte)
Using your tutorial, if I can get the volte files of Jio, I think it is possible to delete unnecessary sprint, at&t modems etc. and install the files of Jio volte. Please share files or advice me how to proceed.
The first post is clear:
Copy and replace mcfg_summary.xml in the fsg folder. Airtel volte parameters are added into it. Give permissions rw-r-r.
Copy and paste airtel_volte.mbn in fsg folder, in athene>folder no 4 and in india>customer folder. Give permissions rw-r-r

If you have a rooted device you can use a file explorer that has root capability, (I use ES File Manager), give root access permission, and then copy the files. Personally I would delete first the China files, to make room (athene_retcn_china and athene_retcn_2), those take 142kB.
Can anyone in India using an Athene with jio volte, copy the fsg folder of your installed ROM (not fsg.mbn) and upload it here?
Just Go to / and copy fsg folder, make it a zip and upload or send via pm. Please.
Hopefully it's a last resort to make reliance Jio volte work.

I couldn't find ind_rjil in Fsg.zip it has only Fsg.bin.
Can anybody please confirm this tweak? I'm really fed up of 3g call quality on airtel network but the whole data transfer after flashing is keeping me from trying it.
Also can i Restore twrp backup in case anything messed up or "best" case scenario- everything works perfectly.
Thanks!
File copy to FSG folder fails even with write and root permissions. Please help.
Copied the files as mentioned and reinstalled the OS. Airtel volte does not work for me. Does this hack still work after Airtel rolling out volte all over India?

Hello, I know I can use a tool called Unyaffs so I can extract files from the images created by Custom recovery, I need to get the files out of a Brazil Eclair nandroid backup in order to enable 3G in my area, since mine is USA ROM, which does not have 850 band enabled, what files do I need to extract in order to do it? thanks!!!
did you try any of the files here

Actually, I am using one of them right now (Argentina flash file) but since I did it, I'm getting problemas during calls, like noise in the background, the voice cutting out, and theses situations never happened before flashing this, I guess it might be because this flash file is Froyo and I'm using Eclair :/
it is located on \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default
After flashing stock ROM on my Moto G I was not able to use Wi-Fi, it does not turn on. So I tried some other ROMS from various countries and nothing. However when I flashed the Nexus G - beta 4 custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606943) I got it working again.

Solved
So, I got it working again. The problem was indeed in the persist folder, it was missing a file named WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin. So I managed to extract it from the persist.img and moved it to persist folder again. After that I edited the bin file and inserted my MAC address. Finally I have flashed my phone to stock ROM again and it worked just fine.
Here's the file:
fixed
Thank you so much this fixed my problem as well
Ok. Let's try but first let me e sure how to do it.
1. Edit persist.img with the .bin file inside.
2. Installl stock rom on my phone.
3. Flash persist.img in fastboot mode.
It's that correct?

First of all check if your persist folder is missing the bin file I have mentioned. If it is, You have to extract that file from persist.img or You can just download the one I uploaded.Then you must edit it and insert your mac address and after that you just have move it to the persist folder using a root explorer.
I could not flash persist.img, bootloader was always returning an access denied message, so i figured a way to explore the persist.img file using LinuxReader and extracted the WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin from it.
So basically i ''flashed'' persist manually. Copy, edit, paste.
Thanks

I have 2 days searching the solution and try with so many files.

Please, could someone explain me exactly (for n00b like me) how to solve this problem?

Wi fi problem
Hi guys,
i've a Moto G 16 Gb purchased on Amazon.De, so german phone. I live in italy and when i connect to wi fi no problem. When i go in switzerland and i try to connect to another wi fi net (my girlfriend's line) provided by Swisscom, it doesn't work: well, i insert passoword, but it cant connect ... i called Swisscom, they tried to reset router and so on , but still persist this problem. The person (swiss) that sells me the phone (i bought it as used) said that he has the swiss provider Cablecom and it didn't have any problem. I'm fully stock with 4.4.2 . Anyone has any idea? thank you
ps: with my galaxy s3 i have no problem both in italy and in switzerland
Can anyone help in explaining the above?
....to a relative newbie? I've downgraded from 4.4.2 down to 4.3 and now my wi-fi is not working anymore, the MAC address is lost.
I'd really, really appreciate any help with regards to the procedure in going about fixing the 'Persist Folder' .
Thank you for reading.
Please make any method to solve Persist folder

I'm sorry, but can you please elaborate? I'm have this wifi issue and it's really annoying.
You say to extract the file from persist.img, but where exactly do I find that? The file you uploaded is not persist.img.
How would I edit and insert my mac address?
Where is this persist folder? I can't find it anywhere.
If you could respond that'd be great.

You'll find persist folder at /persist.
You need filemanger with root permission, the you can see this folder.
So copy WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin to your SD card. Use your filemanger to copy this file to /persist.
Activate wi-fi, the you'll find your mac adress under Settings > About Phone > Status > Wi-fi MAC Adress
Open WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin on your phone with a text editor and type your mac adress inside that file and save it.
I have not tried it because i did not have this issue. But this is the way how i understood it.
simply copied the file in /persist, set permissions and rebooted
No MAC adress to enter
Works fine now
Thanks, very much!
You resolved me
Only its the put the WCNSS in the /persist folder and OK.
(You need to have the firmware with /persist).
Hi,
I'm trying to install a STOCK ROM OGD/OI6 or OK3 in my N920P Note 5, but I don't want root and I want my original rom (to avoid kernel messages while booting), so, I'm trying to unpack system.img to delete some files like handsfree activation, sprint apps, voicemail and other.
I tried sgs2toext4, ext4unpacker and nothing, no working (ext4unpacker shows unknown file format), so, maybe someone can help me to unpack system.img files (I'm using Windows but I can try with Ubuntu or Linux if is possible).
Any guide? tutorial? software? to unpack system.img
Thank you so much

I've the OTA and Sprint Unlocked Note 5, but to delete handsfree activation (every time I'm connected to WiFi it start to attemp activation), boot animation, sprint zone and other apps I need to be root or unpack the system.img
I've tested with other roms like LG G3 and it works, but Samsung (lollipop) is different, so I'm looking for something to do it
P.S. I'm asking about this because my phone is for international use
So I just got the Aristo 3 and wanted to root it. after an extensive search I have come up empty. Does anyone know if there is a method available to use yet or maybe something is in the works? I've unlocked flashing but I cant seem to boot recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Same ive spent about 6 hours researching this ive never built my own root before however i just dont have the time to do whats needed. From what i researched get the original boot rom from lg bridge and perform a restore to download the factory boot image then use magisk to rebuild the image

Hmm I'll give it a try. The phone is still new enough that I don't have much saved to it and if I brick it can take it back
should be able to just get the boot image may be the aristo 2 dev would pick this up since he's familiar with it I see you have a few posts in that forum maybe you can send that dev a message see if they would pick it up.
I eagerly await any progress in this run! My girlfriend cracked her screen on her Aristo 2 and decided that it was time to upgrade. I've never been disappointed in the idea of upgrading my phone...until it meant giving up my Aristoboy Mk.2(which was/is quite formidable)and rooted status along with it. If there is anything I might read about the process online, I would at very least consider the task myself. I am learning, but I have some decent skills and experience behind me. Please let me know if I can assist in any way. If not, I hope to see the first strides towards tackling this latest addition to the Aristo line!
My thanks to all my fellow devs here! You each make up a piece of the whole collection that make this, hands down the best forum/online community available the world over! Keep it up! We are making a difference in so many lives!
Your friend,
~[ProTech]~
So I've been busy as **** lately, but I found that the issue seems to be with the os more than the phone itself. I'm not that proficient with downgrading the os to a earlier version since this phone came stock with Oreo. I will try and talk to some of the devs who did the aristo 2 x210ma. Hopefully they have a solution. I've been using my 2 instead. I never realized how much you can't do with a stock phone and os.
OK here's something you can try...
first get dev-patched LGup {GooGle It}
then use the Dump function of Lgup to dump All partitions from your fone...
look for boot_COM{some#here} and rename it to boot.img
put that file on your fones sdcard and install magisk manager app.
use magisk manager app to patch that boot.img file.
find the new file patched_boot.img whereever magisk put it on your sdcard...
move it to your desktop or a folder etc. on P.C
now try to flash it to your fone...
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
if that works your bootloader is now unlocked you'll have to reboot the fone once as it'll erase cache and data...
after that
again do
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
now try
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
if that works....
Code:
fastboot reboot
and you'll have root by magisk.
if fastboot's not working other option is to rename "patched_boot.img" to "boot.img"
and then use Partitions DL option in lgup to flash the "patched"boot.img to the phone...
if that works you'll have root by magisk...
If this helped you feel free to hit thanks and come back to post the results plz.

My bootloader is already unlocked I've just not been able to flash anything with fastboot. So I have LGup, is there a difference with the dev patched one? I also have magisk on my phone, but it really doesn't give me any options besides to install a new version. I'm gonna go try your suggestion soon though...it sounds promising...and may open up other options if this doesn't succeed. Thanks I'll keep you posted.

No the file wont say that in lgup, it'll be named that after you create a new folder on desktop call it "Dump" then use the dev-patched lgup and Dump option, select the folder Dump on the desktop and select the little checkbox for all on partitions list and click start...
also you may be haveing issues because of the .dll your useing... will lgup flash a stock .kdz to the device?
if yes, I'd think the dump option would work fine...

So yes it would load a stock formware but no it wouldn't allow me to dump even one partion. And the strange thing was that my list of options would chanhe sometimes. Like it would give me more options i.e. phonesettings. I even tried different cables and ports. It doesnt matter though i somehow hard bricked it so bad that it won't even. Boot to download mode and somehow fried my sim card to the point it wont work in any other phone. Im just waiting for metro to open so i can try again

OH WOW what a mess...
I would say it's the .dll in the LGUP causing pain here...
something you can try when you're ready to try again....
remove/uninstall devpatched LGUP and install regular store version
use the Common .dll
and add this file{ UI_Config.lgl } to your Common folder in the lgup install location ...
to make it easier I'll just zip up My common folder for you to replace yours
to do this
right click on lgup, select open file location...
navigate to the model subfolder you'll see things like
{ AllinOne } {Common} and {LGUP_LGNPST} folders...
at that point just right click and rename {Common} folder to {Commonbak},
then take my zip file I'm attaching and unzip it and inside will be Common folder...
just Copy / Paste that new Common folder to where the old one is..
set permissions of folder { read-only} and open the folder find file called { UI_Config.lgl }
and set it's permissions to READ ONLY . otherwise it'll be erased once you start LGUP.
and see If that changes anything with being able to Dump...
It's let me dump every LG i've plugged into it...
so I should think it should work for you too...

it may work,
when lgup is being a pain it's worth a try.
I say go for it. but to be certain I'd try flashing the extracted boot.img with partitions DL option in lgup once to make sure it flashes it b4 trying to patch it and flash it again...
Just my 2 cents.

Aristo3 FW: X220MA10B "10b" came on the system stock
LGUP V1.14 - patched
DLL v1.0.28.17
The above dll is the only one I have found that will recognize the phone and load LGUP, I have also attempted to use uppercut: Error DLL for X220M10b is invalid install a valid dll
https://imgur.com/1Ptrv3n
however, once i attempt to dump phone reboots into download mode i get: Error: 0x2000, please use latest Dll LAF protocol version is not match dll=0 device 162512928

I attempted to use the LGUPC DLL from the kdz V 10E firmware and that did not recognize the device i also attempted to use your zipped commons.
any feedback on this?
I feel that i should use LG tool update to 0F then use the 0F kdz to attempt all this?
DOWNGRADE Don't UPGRADE

If at all posible find the OLDEST firmware possible in kdz and do a full flash of that .
and try your dll mod with that by extracting the dll from said kdz and renaming to what ever the one in Common folder is and keep the UI_Config.lgl in there to keep the extra options if possible...
It's all trial and error with this stuff, so keep at it.
DO NOT flash a firmware.kdz from a different model of the device as it'll flash aboot sbl etc and you'll end with a brick that can't be fixed.
and I've always liked { in my experiments} to use the partitions DL option even when downgrading etc to be able to NOT CHOOSE the boot-stack partitions...
but give it a shot and tell us how it go's.
we may be able to split a root-bounty if we come up with something working across users

OH WOW what a mess...
I would say it's the .dll in the LGUP causing pain here...
something you can try when you're ready to try again....
remove/uninstall devpatched LGUP and install regular store version
use the Common .dll
and add this file{ UI_Config.lgl } to your Common folder in the lgup install location ...
to make it easier I'll just zip up My common folder for you to replace yours
to do this
right click on lgup, select open file location...
navigate to the model subfolder you'll see things like
{ AllinOne } {Common} and {LGUP_LGNPST} folders...
at that point just right click and rename {Common} folder to {Commonbak},
then take my zip file I'm attaching and unzip it and inside will be Common folder...
just Copy / Paste that new Common folder to where the old one is..
set permissions of folder { read-only} and open the folder find file called { UI_Config.lgl }
and set it's permissions to READ ONLY . otherwise it'll be erased once you start LGUP.
and see If that changes anything with being able to Dump...
It's let me dump every LG i've plugged into it...
so I should think it should work for you too...

reinstalled a non-patched version of lgup and used your common folder and set read-only options attempted a dump got this:

Hi everyone. This is for anyone with a S908e device that lives in Canada and would like to have proper signal, 5g, rcs in Samsung messages among other things.
This should work for other regions as well such as the US. If you want to PM me your Home CSC from your regions most recent firmware, I could try and make a zip file for you as well.
This process below requires root as well as a root file manager such as Root Explorer.
1. Download the Canadian CSC files below to you phone.
2. Unzip file to your phone.
3. Go to the root folder in root explorer and backup the optics and prism folders.
4. Go into optics, configure, carriers and delete the singles folder.
5. Then go to the search location of the unzipped optics folder and copy all of the folders in carriers to the same folder on the root of the device.
6. Next do the same for all folders in the prism folder of root.
7. Once everything is copied go back to the root folder, change the permissions to exactly what the screenshot attached shows. Making sure you select the 2 check boxes on the bottom.
8. When that is done reset your phone. You should now get 5g, better signal and rcs in the Samsung messages app among other things.
This should work for other regions as well such as the US. If you want to PM me your Home CSC from your regions most recent firmware, I could try and make a zip file for you as well.
As always do this at your own risk and remember to back up your data.
Ps. If anyone might know which files in the CSC would deal with Sim Card Manager I am trying to figure out how to keep the settings in it from changing when the CSC is changed.
Hi there, would this also work for SM-S908N? Mostly for 5G access. Thanks!

I believe it should work for any S908W device. Just depends on the available bands. Try and let me know I can update to add the N.
If it does not work you have no worries, you can just reflash your Home csc from the S908N factory firmware and everything be fixed. There is no reason this will not work for your device. Should also work on a exynos device.
Hello, Can you please make a zip file for me. I have attached the Home CSC of current SM-S908W XAC Firmware. I am planning to change my CSC on my SM-S908N KOO device. Thank You.
