Question Shizuku/Pixel IMS method for activating VoLTE on Xpreia 5 III and 1 III?

[Cristian.cojocariu]

Hello all,

I have a friend with a pixel 6 PRO that managed to get VoLTE and WoWifi working using the procedure detailed here:

Enable VoLTE/VoWiFi in unsupported countries without root (requires Shizuku)

Hi all, Bellow you can find some info on how to attempt to enable VoLTE in unsupported countries (tested in Romania, Digi carrier) using Shizuku and Pixel IMS app for it. This assumes that you have ADB and drivers properly setup beforehand. 1...

Rootless replacement for persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr patch - pixel-volte-patch/README.en.md at main · kyujin-cho/pixel-volte-patch

github.com

It worked in 5 minutes, no root required, and got me thinking, would such a way work for me and my trusty Xpreia 5III?

I even got to trying it out, The VoLTE and VoWifi toggles appeared in my menu (pretty much what VOEnabler does but without root), so that part works, but IMS registration did not go through.
From browsing the source code on GitHUB I think that we just need slight modifications to the source code in order to adress our specific modem configuration files.

If anyone with a rooted 5 III or 1 III, and basic knowledge of Java wants to try, I think it would be an interesting project
Cheers!

Sadly with snapdragon based devices you have to first modify the modem files but that requires root. But it is interesting what loopholes people have found.

First of all, Thanks to @johndaniel, @htcmage, @gorEisberg @Forbesii @morphvale @arjun_m4 for sharing all the information and files required for this guide. FIRST THING FIRST: Data is priceless. Always backup before you modify your phone...

Actually did some mistakes, like taking the boot image from EU firmware and VoLTE and VoWifi were greyed out until the shizuku and pixelIMS patches, but hope prevailed. I used a OnePlus9pro modem file from Digi RO, and i had to play a bit whith the carrier policy.xml copying procedure but still...

and all the banking works.
