Hey. I'm thinking about getting the Motorola Edge+ 2022 on T-Mobile, but I'd want to know what it's capable of on said network: since T-Mobile released Voice Over 5G not too long ago, can the phone successfully make a 5G call (not a VoLTE or EPS call), and can it also do carrier aggregation between band n71 and n41? Any help would be nice, thanks

Mingkee can you provide some instructions on how to "do a bit of work" to enable these features? I'm also on TMO and want to ensure I'm getting the same capabilities.

Anyone know the T-Mobile 8gb ram 512gb storage build number? I have the boost mobile variant and want to have a smooth transition over to metro, what can I say, metro is king here.
If you don't know how to look it up go to about phone scroll down to build number, Id really like to have the version of the factory moto build, either will work, thanks!

Yes, I have Edge+ 2022 on T-Mobile.
You need to do a bit work to fully enable SA 5G
Now VoNR is on by default.
It can achieve N41 on SA
can you tell me the build number if its the 8gb version? boost put tons of junk on this thing, file would also help or link to zip that way I can drop it in the rsa cause Im already unlocked, there's just so much dish junk and carrier had it running on 3gpp :eek: trying to get rid of this, Im 99% sure I can already change my carrier but I want to rid my crippled device.

try RETUS (unlocked) ROM
Warning: flash with different ROM with your own risk

I recently also purchased and unlocked boost mobile variant of edge plus 2022. Have you had any lucky flashing the retail US rom?

No I can't get any specifics on the factory rom so I just shut off the boost mobile apps and put it on Metro by T-Mobile, got in the hidden menu and changed some things here and there, I noob nerfed it... If I had the rom that I needed then I'd try to finish it but there's like 10 different roms on EF and apparently I don't know the lingo to get the factory rom, the admins over there are not trying to help anyone, I messaged one that acted like he worked for boost mobile.

If you can pop in a sim and it's not asking for a code go through the apps and disable carrier app, Network companion and all boost overlay apps by turning off the open by default switches, dial *#*#4636#*#* go to NR options from the top option and pick auto, in my are it switches from sa to nsa, depending on the carrier you might want to make sure your carrier is using NR for calls, make sure its not saying Rcc in error, with Metro you can use ipv6 basic sim settings or T-Mobile apn in settings, under the 4636 hidden menu set the network from NR, LTE, Wcdma to NR,LTE,gsm,wcdma or unknown. Basically Unknown is the best option because if you switch carriers it will pick the correct configuration, if said new carrier uses LTE for voice calls it might be needed to disable VoNR so your not burning data on calls, at this point my ram is at 3 or 4 instead of 5 with the boost settings, rcs chats are registered and my signal is maxed out using 5GUC. It just takes some research and it can be run perfectly on the crappy boost firmware, it just takes some time to work with. If you get stuck make sure you are backing up everything and if you have problems do a wipe from the fast boot and start over. Look up and do your research on the stuff you turn off, virus total might show you some apps not being utilized. This is the best I can do at this point.

My new, unlocked Edge+ that I am planning on activating on T-M is arriving this weekend.
Maybe a build# would help to be added to this thread, most ppl will probably use that build for the best performance. I'd appreciate it even though my boost firmware is up and working on Metro I haven't got a security update since 2/23 all these comments on settings I've made are going to apply to the U.S. networks.

Ebay seller had bought it as a new Boost phone; and when they unlocked it, still claiming it was new, they started the clock at Motorola as of March. So when I got it, I immediately checked to see if I could add Accidental Damage; but upon finding that the 12 month warranty would expire in March 2024, and I couldn't add the extra insurance, I immediately requested/was approved for a return. So I'm back on the market...for a new Edge+ 2022.

That's a tough break, I appreciate the update, I activated on Metro but the Metro rep claims running the T-Mobile apn settings will send me the new updates but I have none up to this date. Usually fota updates are sent at night so hopefully overnight I might receive one, it does say dish channel on mine as well but all of the boost overlay system extensions have been turned off and the matching settings are turned on from another Metro/T-Mobile phone I have, I feel like something in the actual boost firmware is blocking the updates because dish is using some shady public networks on these phones, I'm not sure if it's to support other phones or what but my data seems to be correct so I don't think my phone has any attachments to dish/boost. If I get updates I will put notification to the thread. If you want to run on T-Mobile just get the unlock code from boost because considering you purchased the phone used under U.S. law their unlocking policy does NOT apply to used phones, that is how I got my unlock code to switch to Metro and using T-Mobile apn settings. Hope this helps like I said will update if I'm updated.

I reached out to another seller (selling 10 fons) on Ebay; and based upon what they said, and description of two other "new and unlocked" Edge+s, it seems like all of them at good prices are sourced from Boost. I think I'm going to get one directly from Moto.

Disable NSA for which band?
It's going to depend on what area you're in, I'd write them all down and just put them all in, it's only going to pick up the ones that are in the sim I'm 90% sure, then if it doesn't pick up SA then you'll take your band list you disabled and simply re-enable them. My phone actually works better on a speed test with NSA, with the latest merging networks it seems carriers might be switching to NSA unless your on Att or Verizon your device is probably not going to pick up SA, it's a way overhyped network choice IMO, my home is brick and when standing in the middle of it NSA goes in and out and it's only 1300sqft, I can't see SA making it through brick, my advise is if your picking up a good NSA signal just use it as lame as it sounds. My device opens pages quicker than a kid abusing a book at the library.

How is the Edge+ running on Metro? Have you gotten all/any of the updates? A seller on eBay has a wrapped Boost phone and will share the IMEI w/ me; but updates aside, I'm wondering about the "Unlock code" I've seen other listings mention for Boost phones. I guess I should obviously also check the IMEI w/ T-Mobile to ensure it's not Black Listed.

You have to get the unlock code to change SIM cards to Metro from boost, boost originally sold me a reman claiming it was new and that's the only reason I got the SIM unlock code, they merged with dish and had me on a 3gpp network that is Amazons, they are completely wrecked not to mention it was a 3gpp.pub which I can't prove is an unsecure network but if you read up on 3gpp networks all of the network traffic can be run to a computer data base which the mvno manages, but other than that I ran 60gb in a month on Metro before I bricked my phone but I've been warned on here not to speak of how that happened on a site I got roms from, phone can still be fixed I just popped my SIM in another moto and I got another one on top of that lol, come to think of it this has a mediatek and it sucks so I might see if I can put android 13 on the other Qcomm device I have. Metro actually ran so fast I forgot what it was like to wait on webpages, it ran instantly and would load entire pages in a blink of an eye. My only thought is you might have to pay someone to unlock it because other than that only the carrier can unlock it. Boost unlocked mine because of the false pretences of it being new. If you take the chance with boost to get the code you'd have to be on with them for a year is their terms so I'd find an unlock website that is reparable instead of paying premium prices for a subpar network, the edge plus 22 will also run 5gUC on Metro. Idk about the updates I think you can put in a fastboot code like fastboot oem config carrier retus or retail to get moto updates.

    We need step by step lol. I'm mainly concerned about slow to no update at all since it's in dish channel even though our phones are network unlocked.
