I have tested this method on my N920G and it worked for me so don't know about other devices


As most of the Indian owners are aware of Jio network Preview offer for samsung flagships phone i.e. unlimited LTE , unlimited VOLTE calls , unlimited sms for 3 months. But there is an issue with the samsung latest update that does not allow most of the users to use Jio sim for making calls using stock dialer also they are getting 4g written on status bar and have to use Jio Join app for making calls and sms.

but i have found a solution to this issue and that is you have to downgrade your firmware to DD3 in order to get VoLte working and then u can update via OTA once it starts working.

All you got to do is flash

via odin and be CAUTIOUS AND TAKE A BACKUP BEFORE AS IT WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE AND DATA.

i found this solution and wanted to share it with the community

also not much experience in writing threads so bear with me.....

I had the same issue.. flashing this firmware now.. fingers crossed. will let u know if it worked for me. Thanks for posting this. :good:

Edit - Flashed the firmware and now it shows the "Volte" symbol at the top.. but system prompting for the new upgrade, will i lose it again if i do the OTA upgrade? please confirm.

Can you tell me step by step procedure.
first of all check your device model by going in settings-about device
if its N920G

then download the firmware i have mentioned above and take backup of all ur files as all the data will get deleted.

then install odin in your pc and in your device go to settings- about device - software info- then click on build number 7 times it will enable developer mode
in developer mode switch on usb debugging and OEM unlocked

then switch off the device and press power home and volume down button it will take you to the download mode and then follow on screen instructions

once you are able to see your device in odin click on ap tab and select the file you downloaded and click on start wait till the process get complete and it will show pass

I don't think so because this firmware is specifically for N920G devices but you can head over to DR.Ketan's thread as he had got it working on his rom
