[GUIDE]Enable VoLTE for unsupported carriers

[fennings982]

Hi all. Just looking for some advice. I'm trying to enable WiFi calling on my pixel 2 XL running Android Q. I've just moved to sky mobile which piggybacks off of the O2 network. They definitely support vowifi as my wife uses it on her Samsung. Has anybody had any success with the mbn files in the zip file in the download link? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Mbn files I can drop on mail. I can’t post a link to the forum, there are no 10 more posts from me

Hi all, got new Pixel 3 here and found out that there's no support for VoLTE with Vodafone IT (Italy). I tried to read the whole thread but with the fear of bricking my new phone i'm asking for support.

Is it possible to activate it on Android 10? If yes, which method?

It worked for my using Pixel 2 Walleye with Android March 2020 installation, i'm going to detail more this procedure, because it's hard to do it from scratch.
I also used information/files from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-qxdm-port-activation-pixel-2-xl-t3884967

Steps with links
0. Remove any fingerprint/pin/lock pattern from your phone and keep it that way until the end. ALSO, UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DEVICE (apps, photos, files, accounts) BE CAREFUL AND DO A BACKUP

1. Find the QPST installer (only available for Windows) (seems to be an internal Qualcomm software), I used version 2.7.474 from here https://qpsttool.com/qpst-tool-v2-7-474 . Save it and install it in your Windows machine.

2. Install adb tools Windows, macOS, Linux: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/

3. Enter Developer Mode in your Pixel: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options#enable

4. Unlock bootloader of Pixel 2 (this one is easy BUT IT WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE), connect your phone to your PC (you may need to wait a few minutes for the automatic installation of drivers) and follow the procedure (you may need to run this as an Administrator) https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-and-root-the-google-pixel-2-and-pixel-2-xl/

5. Fastboot boot twrp img for temporary twrp: https://aubykhan.wordpress.com/2013...t-into-twrp-or-cwm-recovery-without-flashing/

6. Install twrp zip from twrp recovery for permanent twrp. I installed TWRP (TWRP is a recovery replacement of the official recovery inside Android phones) https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/ TWRP will help you to install Magisk

7. Flash Magisk-v19.0_Taimen_Diag.zip from twrp: You have to download the file from first post https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4742296&d=1555223123 and save it in your Phone. And then open TWRP (go to recovery mode https://www.hardreset.info/devices/google/google-pixel-2/recovery-mode/ ), then you have select the install grey button in TWRP and find your Magisk file and install it, you will need to reboot your phone. Magisk is a tool that helps to modify Android behavior without root access, old times ago having root was not an issue, but right now because of security and restrictions (Netflix, DRM, etc) it's better to not root your phone. Magisk will help you to made modifications without touching too many things in your phone.

8. Install drivers inside Windows to recognize your phone (these are special drivers, as your phone will be recognized as a Serial device for QPST) I used this for Window: https://mega.nz/#!oMEHTIbA!0g7ahr8r81Q3ue8LpEy-sfd7FTLEEQlGRi2CJfG_Kq0

9. Download to your Android the file app-debug.apk https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4742298&d=1555223123, this is the Magisk App to manage Magisk from Android. Open it to install the App.

10. Download Pixel 2 Diag Port.zip file to your phone from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4677339&d=1546269352 and VoEnabler to your Phone from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4788885&d=1562579515 (this is for Pixel 2, you may need to change the VoEnabler for other Pixels, or it may work, who knows)

11. Open the Magisk App (installed in step 9) go to Modules section, add with the yellow button at the bottom the Modules that you downloaded in the step 10, Pixel2DiagPort and VoEnabler. This will allow you yo use a setting under Settings -> Network & internet -> Mobile network -> VoLTE.

12. Download the mbn file from here inside Windows https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4691778&d=1548185827, unzip it and search for your region and your Mobile Network Operator . Android OS is split in multiple parts, the mbn have the Mobile Network operator information needed. All this procedure is to change this file!

13. Connect the phone to your Windows PC, now open QPST tool in Windows (the name is Advanced PDC Tool and the icon is orange and grey), fingers crossed!, in the dropdown called Device you will see a Device Qualcomm... serial... choose it. Then press the button Load and select the .mbn file for your Operator (Step 13). This will allow you a new option in the list of the Advanced PDC Tool. You have to be careful and look for the one that you just added. Right-click on new loaded profile and select SetSelectedConfig - Sub0 then press Activate.

14. Restart device and check if VoLTE is working! You may need to enable it in the preferences Settings -> Network & internet -> Mobile network -> VoLTE

If you need more detail please let me know.

(On OP7 but thought id ask)
has anyone run into the issue where they load a .mbn in PDC and nothing gets loaded :S

Hi, there should be some compatibility with phone and *.mbn file, try to use another *.mbn from another phone with same CPU like OP7 has.

 

[Crappyvate]

@somin.n Little off-topic but you might be able to stir me in the right direction: I have erased my Volte-ATT.mbn profile by mistake (I'm on a OP5), can I try the one included in the OP via PDC? Are they phone specific? I can't seem to find specific profiles for OP5. Thanks

Hi! Sorry, but I don't know But for sure, you can try to load it with PDC, there should be no error with loading "incompatible" *.mbn. In worst, it will not working.

Flashed VoLTE_enabler_pixel_2_v1_1.zip via magisk

I flashed VoLTE_enabler_pixel_2_v1_1.zip through magisk and now I can see VoLTE and wifi calling both options for Vodafone India,
But I am not sure whether I have followed the right steps or not because you mentioned it will work only on android pie but I am on 10

Hi! You can chack if it is really working with dialing *#*#4636#*#* code (more info in first post).
If you flashed this module on android 10 and you still have mobile network signal after restarting phone, it is probably working

Luckily My phone signal is up but in IMS Status, Voice over LTE is not available,
Should I try PDC method ?, or reinstall this zip via magisk ?

Strange Is there a mbn file for your carrier inside the zip? You can check with some file manager if new mbn's are available in syetem/vendor/mbn/mcfg/configs/mcfg_sw/generic....
Do you have activated VoLTE on operator side?
Sometimes helps to switch volte switch off, go to airplane mode and both on again...

I checked, I am on Vodafone India and i think vdf_indi is the required mbn file for me and yes it was present in that zip you provided,
After flashing this not only I got VoLTE option but also wifi calling option too, but I think operator has not enabled them yet ?
And thanks for this Zip

 

[somin.n]

but I think operator has not enabled them yet ?

Try to call to your provider support and ask then for activating it...

It worked for me as well on Android 10 May update and Czech Vodafone carrier for both VoLTE and ViLTE. Thanks!
