Deprecated - please see my other guide for a better method: Enabling VoLTE/VoWiFi v2

Preface
Thanks to some help from this amazing community I have found the steps required to enable VoLTE and/or VoWiFi. For me both work, but others have reported differently - but the most likely outcome is that you will only have VoLTE working; you may have to do some experimentation to get both.

Prerequsities
* You must have root. There are several threads on how to do that, so look those up if you need help.

Downloads
* QPST
* Qualcomm USB drivers
* AsusVoLTE app
* MBNs (optional)

Step 1
First of all you will need to install both QPST and the Qualcomm USB drivers from the links above. It's important that you install exactly those ones, or it may not work. Once you've done that, launch PDC.exe in the bin folder of the QPST install (usually C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\PDC.exe).

Step 2
Download and install the AsusVoLTE app from above and launch it. The app is very simple, and only has two buttons - press Enable PDC and you should hear/see a new device installing. Once that's done, you should see a new device under the Device dropdown in Advanced PDC Tool called something like Qualcomm ... 9091. Select it and you should see some things pop up in the box below - starting with HW_DEFAULT and SW_DEFAULT and probably also ROW_v1. If you only see those you will need to load external ones from the MBNs zip above. Simply press the Load button and select the mbn you want. Keep in mind that you will only be able to load MBNs from the zip above, ones from another device will *not* work.

Step 3
Now comes the tricky part; we have to find a profile that actually works on your carrier. For me the VivoVoWiFi_v5 profile enables both VoLTE and VoWiFi, but this may or may not work for you. Most of them at the very least enabled VoLTE for me.
To actually activate a profile you have to right-click on it, select SetSelectedConfig and Sub0, then repeat it but press Sub1 instead. After you've done that Sub0 and Sub1 for that profile should have changed to Pending, so simply highlight it again and press the Activate button at the bottom of the screen. This should change Sub0 and Sub1 to say Active and it should also be moved to the top of the list just below HW_DEFAULT and SW_DEFAULT.
To check if it works you have to either reboot, or you can do the far simpler thing and press Reset Connection in the AsusVoLTE app. This will disable the mobile connection for a few seconds but once it's back on you should hopefully see either VoLTE or VoWiFi in the status bar. If not, you will have to try another profile! It can be quite time consuming finding one that works for you, but if you get VoLTE on at least one of them there's a chance one of them will also enable VoWiFi.

Recommended profiles
Below I will compile a list of carriers and the profile that works best for them.

Carrier - Profile - Function
AT&T - VivoVoWiFi_v5 - VoLTE
H3G SE - VivoVoWiFi_v5 - VoLTE & VoWiFi
Hot Mobile Israel - NLVFVoWiFi_v1 - VoLTE & VoWiFi
Orange Romania - VivoVoWiFi_v5 - VoLTE

Source code:
AsusVoLTE - Github

Let me know if this works for you, or if you have any questions.

Regards

Hi I'm from Mumbai, India...for me VoLTE working perfectly. I just want to enable VoWIFI... But my device is not rooted yet.
Let's wait for sometime to see if VoWIFI is working without rooting or not as presently not even a single custom ROM available for ROG 2 so i don't have any reasons to root device.
Still a huge thanks for your all efforts and help what you did for our beast ROG 2...

Which one did you use? It would help others if you can let them know.
I used the same one he mentioned. The VivoVoWiFi_v5 profile. Thats the first one I tried and it worked right away. Tested a call to another cell I have that I know has VoLTE and it sounds so much better on ROG Phone 2 now, so I can confirm this is working on AT&T 100%

EDIT: To also add, this is the ROG Phone 2 128 GB Tencent Edition as well.

Someone else with T-Mobile US should try it just to confirm that it doesn't work.

It might be worthwhile to try other profiles to see if you can get VoWiFi as well.

Indeed. I will aim to compile a list in the first post with the recommended profile for each carrier - so it would help if you all could let me know what carrier you are on and what profile you're using! :)
I believe your findings would work with the ZenFone 6. You should head over to their forum and let them have a go. It might even work with the original ROG Phone.

First of all, @HomerSp please create a donation option, I would appreciate the chance to buy you a beer for all the hard work you've done.
Carrier - Hot Mobile Israel, profile - KDDIVOWIFI_V4, function - volte and vowifi, UT doesn't work.
What is UT? Now I can't go into the carrier settings inside the dialer it gives me an error message so I can't cancel call waiting and hide my number for outgoing calls, no big deal for me I will try more profiles tomorrow.

Tried a few other profiles, mostly ones with "VoWIFI" in their name. A lot of these worked for AT&T for VOLTE. Only a few gave me the Video Calling in IMS. The closet I could get was "testSIMViWifi_v4" profile gave me everything BUT VoWifi.

Made sure VoWIFI was enabled in the settings as well. Any ideas?

I can only guess that none of the profiles have VoWiFi configs for AT&T. It's better than nothing I suppose.

I'm not sure if my next question belongs in this thread. But since my ROG Phone 2 is currently rooted with an unlocked bootloader. Is there a way to retain this without having to flash the RAW FW and relock the bootloader?

Is there a reason I cant re-flash the stock boot.img and then use fastboot to relock the bootloader?

As a test, I reflashed the latest RAW firmware and relocked the bootloader. And as I expected VOLTE was not enabled again. However, after re-rooting and using PDC, I saw that the profile I used to enable VOLTE was still Active. Would all I need to do is reflash the RAW FW then use ADB to enable the settings in the menu?
