Before flashing, please read OP, OP2 & OP3...

VoLTE, Wifi-Calling, Enhanced Messaging, Video Calling and ALL T-Mobile 4G/LTE/ONLINE services & features fully operational! OREO Version!

Requirements: Oreo & International ROM that contains: (see image below)

system/app/ImsSettings.apk (Package Name: com.samsung.advp.imssettings)

(Some international roms don't even have IMS Settings apk, so the Detonator will not work on those roms)

Common Questions:

Junior Member: - Hey TEKHD! This is great! But I flashed the Detonator on my Korean N Variant and now my device is asking for SIM LOCK password?

TEKHD: - You did not follow instructions my young Padawan... This file does NOT work on Korean devices. You will need to restore your nandroid and/or reflash your stock firmware via ODIN.

Junior Member: - Hey TEKHD! What is a nandroid?

TEKHD: - My young Padawan... You will never be a Jedi...

Junior Member: - Hey TEKHD! Can you make a Detonator for AT&T users?

TEKHD: - I don't have AT&T, can't test the files. (plus AT&T doesn't like IMEI's from non AT&T phones)

Junior Member: - Hey TEKHD! Can you make a Detonator for Korean N devices?

TEKHD: - I don't have a Korean N device, sorry...can't test the files.

This is not for N variant, please read OP. You will have to restore nandroid or reflash stock firmware via Odin for your Korean N device. Hope this helps.

Hi TEKHD,
This is not working on my SM-G955FD! I flashed it normally by TWRP. I checked on Root Explorer after flashing and found that the permissions for those files were not set right. May be that was why it did not work. Please help.

Just flash it over custom rom???

Update 04/06/2018 ran v1 fir S8 and it worked... Thought we would have Visual Voicemail but it us not on my phone.

Just a quick heads up...I installed this from zip and it worked...but I had no control over my navigation buttons.
They would not show up unless I swiped from top of screen down. So I went to my Nandroid backup in TWRP and my navigation buttons worked normally......

Hi TEKHD,

Thank you for your prompt response and instructions. However, when I make changes to mps_code.dat and omcnw_code.dat as you mentioned and reboot , the phone tells me that "It is an Invalid Sim" and I am unable to connect to network ! When I revert back the files, it works again ! Also when I try to flash your zip file, the following message appears " Failed to mount /odm Updater process ended with error :1 Error installing zip file". Am I doing something wrong? I do have IMSSettings.apk on my phone. Please help. Thanks in advance.

 

[Isubbie]

Doesn't work for me ether. Used v1 as I have s8+ not s9. Rebooted, and network locked. Have G955F. Also noticed a bunch of bloatware was installed on phone too. Reverted back until solution is fixed.

Great work! Runs well on my 950FD.
I noticed that with package, there are some app installed, such as: My Singtel, Papergarden, UBANK, Yandex etc. It will great if there is a method avoiding install these.
