Is it related to wifi-calling and/or VoLTE? Are these features available in this rom?

I was wondering the same thing about VoLTE few posts up, but I'm waiting on an AT&T SIM to test it. With hima phones, it's also going to depend on your phone variant, because, for instance, the AT&T variant can't do VoLTE on other networks, even when it's been carrier unlocked.

@shpitz461 , what specific hima phone variant do you have, and what carrier? See here for the variants (Europe, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon): https://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_m9-6891.php

@mmortal03,

(bootloader) mid: 0PJA11000
(bootloader) cid: BS_US002

I don't recall which variant it is.

I do have an AT&T sim and I have data but voice/sms doesn't work.

I don't see any settings for wifi-calling/VoLTE anywhere.

@mmortal03,

(bootloader) mid: 0PJA11000

Yep, 0PJA110 is the AT&T variant, same as mine.

I don't have AICP 17.1 in front of me at the moment. I have LineageOS 18.1 installed on mine, but I have a T-Mobile SIM, so I haven't expected to see VoLTE settings on mine.

Generally speaking, you'd first want to look under Settings [-> System] -> About phone -> Status -> IMS registration status (this needs to be registered for VoLTE to work)

I don't know if IMS registration will show up on this AICP ROM or not. Please tell us what you see. For me on LOS 18.1, it isn't showing it.

The VoLTE setting will usually display under Settings -> Network & Internet -> Mobile network, but may not be present if VoLTE is not provisioned or the SIM card doesn't support it, or whatever the cause. Searching for it in my settings on LOS shows that it'd be under Mobile network settings if it were working, but isn't, so it doesn't show it.

You can also look in the hidden testing menu:
Go to dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#*
A hidden menu should appear. Select Phone information.
The "VoLTE Provisioned" option may be listed on this page, below Mobile Radio Power, but it may not show up.
Tapping the three dots in the top right may give you "IMS Service Status", or it may not.

I didn't have any of the settings you mentioned above, only got access to dailer info screen:

 

[mmortal03]

Yeah, that's the same screen I get in LOS 18.1. A lot of the code is shared on stuff like this between LOS and AICP.

Didn't you say that VoLTE was working for you with this phone/SIM when you were on a previous version of AICP? If you aren't 100% sure, you should verify on the previous version of AICP you were using (or, stock) that VoLTE can be provisioned and IMS registered. If you were making calls then, then it probably was, but make sure. If you can confirm that it was working there, then it's probably a bug in this version of AICP. Given this phone is still on AT&T's whitelist, it should work on the stock ROM, unless something has gone wrong with your device.

If you test and it won't work on the previous version or stock, either, then I have read that people on Red Pocket GSMA have in the past had issues with getting VoLTE to work sometimes, but my reading of it was that it wasn't AT&T branded/whitelisted phones having this issue. Sometimes people had to call them about it, saying that their device had lost VoLTE provisioning, but that was a few years ago.

 

[riddell]

No, this is the most developed hima rom. but we will get soon officials, so you get weekly updates

Good to hear.
Questions:
1) Is phone encryption working on this version?
2) Do you know if anyone is developing a Graphene OS for HTC One M9 or if these types of security and hardening measures can be built into your AICP / AOSP? My understanding is that it is also an AOSP.
Information: https://github.com/GrapheneOS

I haven't tried, I revived the M9 after my long-time Axon 7 died, so it's been years since I last set up the M9.

The SIM I'm using was in my Axon 7 and was working great with VoLTE and wifi-calling.

I'm going to mention you in the LineageOS 18.1 thread in a sec. Maybe you can help me test there and see how far back we have to go on hima ROMs to find out if VoLTE ever worked.

 

[mmortal03]

I'm going through old threads now, and VoLTE support was supposedly added for hima in AICP 13.1 (but not 14.0) and LOS 15.1, but I'm looking for the earliest where people were saying they had it working.

 

[djibe89]

Hi, HIMA is stated as model for this ROM.

- Doesn't it mean that any model wuth Nougat can be flashed with it ?
- My Sprint hima_whl is compatible ?

Thanks a lot for your answer

Yes, it should work on a himawhl (Sprint variant).

After getting VoLTE working on stock, I've since tested LOS 19.1, 18.1, 17.1, 16.0, and AICP 17.1. I haven't gotten VoLTE working on any of these.

One interesting difference I noticed with LOS 16.0 was that it actually showed IMS Service Status, and reported it as Registered (even though calling still didn't work). Also, there were toggles for VoLTE, VoWiFi, Video Calling, and UT Interface, but these all showed up as gray and Unavailable.

 

[djibe89]

Hi, with Sprint model.

Wiped Data, Cache and System partitions.
Now I have IMEI Unknown and no SIMcard recognition.

Do you have an idea where I got it wrong ?
Awesome ROM.

Thanks a lot

I believe the first step would be to determine what the OS version is that's listed on your Download Mode screen: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/htc/htc-one-m9/download-mode/

I believe you can use that to determine what version RUU files are needed to restore to stock using the official RUU installers, if it comes to that. It could be a firmware issue. Someone elsewhere was saying that you have to install them in order, depending on what firmware version you're starting with, and you have to make sure to get the RUU installers that pertain to variant phone you have (you said it was Sprint, but you should verify that). I believe there are links that still work for these RUU files. Here's the message that was saying you have to install them in order: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-19-1-unofficial.4378803/page-3#post-86934229

 

[mmortal03]

Another update regarding the VoLTE issue, I noticed that hima stock included the following options on the hidden menu which seem to be necessary for getting IMS registered and VoLTE to work:

Turn on / off IMS registration required
Turn on / off VOLTE provisioned flag
Turn on / off SMS over IMS

Here's a screenshot:

Hi, thx for your answer.

Hi was precautious, and flashed:
htc_himawhl (Sprint model), S-OFF with CID-11111111
RADIO-3 (4 after OTA updates)
OS-3.41.651.4 (then 4.27 after OTA updates)

Flashed RUU_HIMA_WHL_M60_SENSE70_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_3.41.651.21.exe
Then did official updates OTA until none available.
Simcard was working.
Unlock bootloader.
Then format data, wipe partitions > flash AICP.
Then simcard not recognized.

Thanks again for your help,
Best,
JB

I don't know enough of the backstory of this phone to say if we can wipe all partitions. I'd suspect @Claymore1297 or @k4y0z would know. I noticed that people were having "SIM card not recognized" issues a couple of years ago, the Sprint variant included (see the following discussion), though I don't know whether the Sprint user got his working or not: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ficial-weeklies.3967722/page-20#post-81460897

djibe89, I'm practically in the same boat as you with this phone. I'm wanting to use my AT&T variant for calling *because it's still on AT&T's whitelist*, which still gives it some legs into the future. Unfortunately, IMS registration/VoLTE seem to be broken in all non-stock hima ROMs that I've tried, going back a number of years. Without calling working, I guess mine is slightly better to have data working, but it still seems silly to use a whitelisted phone for a data-only purpose. I and others have been able to replace the battery on these, so it could be a perfectly good phone for people moving forward if we could just figure out these issues.

 

[djibe89]

Hi @mmortal03 , thx for your answer. I'll dig deeper
Best,

[Claymore1297]

this ROM has official state now!

Enjoy!
