i updated yesterday and today wanted to tweak 5g settings,, side note anyone else use celluar pro app...has your 5g tab disappeared too? im paid member
Hello,
I used iOS the last years but want to switch back to Android/customs roms. A few years ago, when VoLTE started to become available, I remember that it generally only worked on android when the phone had the carrier firmware.
A few days ago, I tried an unlocked phone with a non carrier firmware with my sim card, and volte and vowifi worked immediately. I cannot find any information how this is implemented nowadays. Is there any relation with Google carrier services? Or do modem basebands include these settings? Where is this information stored and does volte and vowifi on newer android systems "just work" as long as the carrier supports it? I'm just curious how it works, and if LineageOS for example does support it.
Thank you!
I've a VoLTE/VoWiFi activated Telstra/Boost SIM that's confirmed to work fine with both stock-standard Moto G 5G Plus & iPhone 11 Pro Max, delivering those features in Australia.
Rog Phones in general & Rog phone 5 in particular are known to lack VoLTE/VoWiFi features with all of the Australian carriers. ASUS Zentalk forum has a few threads about it. (Of course, I too escalated it there for any official help, but none will be forthcoming anytime soon, from what I understand ). I'm genuinely in need of VoLTE at work due to terrible 3G but decent 4G there; and at home in need of VoWiFi due to terrible 3G but excellent WiFi backed by snappy fibre Internet connection.
My phone is an ASUS_I005DA model with build number WW_18.0840.2106.86. Neither "4G Calling" nor "Wi-Fi calling" settings are visible by default, but upon dialling "*#*#3642623344#*#*", those options become available. Though those features can be activated/toggled (and they stick around till the next reboot), they actually don't really make those features work (i.e., phone still drops down to 3G when making phone calls; similarly, calls simply don't go through WiFi, as is proven in airplane mode with WiFi on). This I understand is due to lack of .mbn files for the modem to support Australian carriers in general, Telstra in particular. (I gather that with previous Rog phone models, by injecting .mbn file(s) into the modem image, folks were able to get VoLTE and VoWiFi working in Australia.) I'm essentially looking for precise/tested/proven steps to accomplish just that but on Rog Phone 5.
This is where I've had it both boot loader unlocked & the system rooted with Magisk, in preparation for undertaking any and all such steps.
Has anybody been able to successfully access modem (i.e., Qualcomm Snapdragon X60 modem on Snapdragon 888 SoC found on this phone) from Windows or Linux systems for this sort of work? If yes, especially for Windows, what drivers did you use? (name, version info & where to download them from would greatly help) What additional software did you use on the Windows computer end (such as QPST) & on the phone end (such as QCOMDiagMode.apk & what version & from where was it sourced please?) etc. would be of great help.
A dumb question: Would it be at all possible to flash modem with updated image (incorporating the necessary .mbn file(s)) from within Android itself? Or Android itself doesn't have ADB to help with such tasks?? Just curious as I'm fine to work off either Windows or Linux end.
Thanks in advance for any useful guidance & direction.
The most likely answer would be to find how they made or picked the files with the 3 and try to make or find parallel 5 versions. The files should be compatible with fastboot (mbn is one of the extensions they use for firmware images).

Preface With this guide I can officially deprecate the other guide I wrote, as we will no longer have to hack together a solution by loading profiles for other carriers. Meaning, that this should just work provided an mbn exists for your carrier...

It's also going to be an extremely experimental process, so the only tested and proven way will be to let someone else do it first. Hopefully you can find someone else in Australia with the same issue that is willing to put their device up for testing.
Is there a working guide to enable the AsusVoLTE App on Android 11 ?
Mine keeps saying root is not available,
and the USB command to enable PDC mode -
setprop sys.usb.config diag,diag_mdm,qdss,qdss_mdm,serial_cdev,dpl,rmnet,adb
doesnt work for me..
any ideas ?

The setprop command didn't trigger anything like it did on the ROG II.
That why I wanted to try the app..
Just noticed the pull request! Hope @HomerSp would look into it.

Edit: moved to a separate thread, since it is not specific to this issue
I've had VoLTE show up on mine from day one with no problems, using Vodafone AU. I don't get VoWifi though - I don't know if that's dependent on your ISP. I use TPG for broadband at home.
That's great to hear! Thanks for your confirmation.
"Vodafone Wi-Fi Calling is not available to customers on prepaid plans" in Australia, according to this: https://www.vodafone.com.au/support/device/wi-fi-calling
Perhaps you're their prepaid user?
Hopefully, official VoLTE and VoWiFi support for Telstra and Optus isn't too far, seeing how unofficial community support isn't ready just yet.
Did you managed to find a way to write .mbn? In AsusRogPhone2 it was easy (via Diag mode, efstools etc, with A10 though), but in AsusRogPhone5 efstools freezes every time at port listening stage, so this methos it's a no go for now, for some unknown reason.
Vodafone in Australia has VOLTE and WIFI calling for Rog 5. I went from Vodafone (had Volte) to Telstra (Had literally nothing, had 10 support tickets with telstra that first month in regards to getting volte, wifi calling and reception issues) said screw it, went right back to Vodafone, and boom had both Wifi calling and VOLTE on the Rog 5. Plus my reception is god tier. Telstra only supports certain phones (literally like 2 series) and thats it. So yeah. Thats how I solved the VOLTE issue. Should have just stuck with Voda to begin with, but wanted to give Telstra a go. Never again. Garbage service.
Just to wrap-up my original request, as of Nov 2021 firmware update, thanks to ASUS incorporating necessary MBN file(s) for Telstra (and Optus too from what I've heard at other forums) in that firmware update, after dialling Enhanced-4G code, VoLTE and VoWiFi functionalities become available in Settings. Toggling those options does successfully activate both of those functionalities on Telstra network. According to what I've heard on Whirlpool, even Optus is now supported in the same way.
Alas, those settings don't stick over a reboot, so what procedure needs to be done after every reboot. Perhaps ASUS will make them stick in a future firmware update.
It's possible to make them stick across reboots on a rooted phone, using setprop tool.
Thanks
update to more stable gsi 12
Hi, I have the moto one 5G ace, and I am very happy that we can get android 12 on it now. I have a few questions though.
A) how do I get android 11, when I try to update, it says android 10 is the latest version on moto updates.
B) where is the vbmeta, I am assuming google's GSI website.
C) does this GSI continue to receive android 12 updates?
Also, if you could friend me on discord at TheNextGamer21#9216, I have a team of developers that could help build a GSI for this device
Found the most stable Android 12 gsi for both the moto g 5 g kiev and moto g 5 g stylus.
I've tested both now for over a week as daily drivers and the gsi rom is 98% stable.
Has transformed my phone into a pixel...running Android 12..
Now there is bugs and some compromises one has to accept if you want this rom as a daily driver.
Working.
5g,lte,2g
Wifi
Bluetooth comes on and connects.
Magisk Alpha
R/W script
GPS
In call volume
Pixel goodies launcher etc...
Google camera video and pictures
Torch
Fingerprint pin and pattern
Viper4droid preinstalled under misc features
Headphone
More
Bluetooth in call audio and music audio playback
Google Pixel Always ON DISPLAY with clock animations
Gapps and Non-Gapps versions
Cons
Calls, mms, sms over 2g /3g only (working on it)
**use a free calls and text app example. "textnow" grab a free line and have calls ,mms,sms over 5G****
No moto gestures( I only use the chop for flashlight) workaround,,,app called "gravity
gestures" works perfectly..
Ill link the thread.

@jhjhjhjhjhjh Did you have to do anything special to get BT working on the Kiev with that Android 12 GSI? I can't seem to get it working at all. It tells me to try to turn my bluetooth device on and off.

Thanks for the link. I tried that yesterday but whenever I attempt to connect my BT device the whole phone locks up and freezes. Everything goes back to normal if I turn of the BT device.
EDIT: Saw in another thread you were having issues with the "e" build. Going to try and install the prior build and see if that resolves my issues.

no worries..
let me know how its working for ya..
lastly, my Bluetooth had a slight delay when watching videos so to have Bluetooth working like stock. grab the "BTFM.bin " file from the stock firmware folder and flash it in fastboot mode.
code ..
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
still working on VOLTE....
@jhjhjhjhjhjh Still no luck. I decided to check if maybe my BT device would work during phone calls and to my surprise it does. So it just seems to be something with media playback.

Weird ...I followed the instructions to the tee. Bluetooth works here..
As soon as the bugs are out I'll hop on this.
Where is the development at with this I just seen it and a few questions
You state r/w script, meaning we can get r/w as in "/" mounted rw?
2nd and this is the deal maker, scoped storage, fused storage, adoptable storage.... All that trash that's stopping a lot of functionality of apps, is this a problem in this build?
Lastly and just for **it's a giggles, is there any where you can point me that I can grab one of these roms, not saying it's this easy but for my fingers sake we'll just jump on the sci-fi wagon for a sec, load it up on my PC change what I want to change flash to my phone and not disrespecting the makers, keep it to me.
Is that a dream or reality

What carrier are you on? I tried the latest pixel experience on at&t and had issues with calling and texting (when on 3g preferred network it shows no service but when on LTE only the data works- calls and messages don't go through)
Hi,
I've got several devices with VoLTE/VoWiFi capacity (like Xiaomi mi 9T Pro, OnePlus 8T, Xiaomi Mi 9 SE, Google Pixel 3...), but that are not supported by my carrier (Orange France). They only allow it for the devices on this list, according to tests they performed in their lab to ensure there aren't any issues to register them on their network :
https://reseaux.orange.fr/famille/appels-wifi
However, the other carriers in France I tested (SFR and Bouygues Télécom) are allowing these devices to have VoLTE/VoWiFi (I used both sim slots, and I have LTE data access on both. It's always the non-Orange SIM which can make LTE or Wifi calling).
Does someone know how to fake my device model in a carrier perspective ? I tried Device Faker plus and Android faker (on this thread : Android Faker) Xposed modules (on different LineageOS versions with Magisk installed and Riru/LSXposed loaded), but it's quite hasardous to make any random changes, without being sure which one could be effective to change.
Thank you in advance if someone has a solution !
Hi,
I'm sorry to answer so late but i just subscribe to orange, and i have a poco f3, i think this device isn't compatible with this carrier, and i want to know if you find a way to get it work.
Thank you

If the carrier doesn't support the device, there is nothing you can do.
No, sorry, I didn't find anything. It seems all you can do is related to play store, and so on. I was able to fake my phone model to be able to install certificates from my company (for emails sync, through exchange), but that's it. It seems it's handled directly by the chipset, and you won't be able to change that within Android.
A year later, I'm on the same boat. Is there anything new around this?
