TMoblify - SM-G935F Nougat with T-Mobile WiFi Calling, VoLTE, RCS

[chenxiaolong]

Update (2018-06-13): This project is discontinued. I no longer have any interest in debugging device-specific issues related to this CSC (like the modem sometimes failing to initialize on the SM-G955F). In addition, the risk of emergency calls not working is too great for me.

With the release of the Nougat beta for the S7 Edge, Samsung finally upgraded their IMS framework from 5.0 to 6.0 in the international ROMs. This gives the international ROMs almost all the functionality needed to support WiFi calling, VoLTE, RCS, and other carrier features on the SM-G935F. This project provides a flashable support package to add the T-Mobile specific components.

Enjoy!

NOTE: Because the telephony stack is modified, please ensure that emergency/E911 calls still work. Contact your local authorities to find out how to test emergency calls. Even though modding your device may be fun, a phone is still a phone, and you'll never know if you'll need it in an emergency situation.

Current versions:

T-Mobile components:

• System: G935TUVS4BQC1

Flashing instructions

1. Back up the EFS partition and save it outside of the device. This zip will modify the EFS partition in order to switch to the "TMB" CSC.
2. Flash TMoblify. This includes the files necessary for the T-Mobile carrier features. It includes a modified copy of the T-Mobile CSC where the network lock is removed.
3. Reboot.

I'm currently waiting for my AndroidFileHost dev account request to be approved. Once that happens, I'll will mirror the files.

As far as VoLTE goes, this is meant for people using the SM-G935F on T-Mobile (USA) only. It will not enable any network features for other carriers.

Thanks! This will not work with any of the US models, like the SM-G930P (it's a ROM for the Exynos models). However, if I remember correctly, I thought all the US models were compatible and you could simply flash the SM-G935T or SM-G935U firmware.

TWRP: 3.0.2.4

BL used: G935FXXU1BPJG & G935FXXU1APB3
CP used: G935FXXU1BPJG & G935FXXU1APB2

Phone: SM-G935FD
Carrier: T-Mobile USA

Ok. Had reverted my phone to stock last week in preparation to sell it. Figured I'd try this out while waiting. Re-flashed TWRP with Odin, set up dm-verity, formatted /data/ (after the rom didn't work the first time), and flashed the (4) files from above. Rom booted and threw a message about unlocking the device with the Device Unlock application. Clicked OK and started the setup process, but no mobile connection. After the setup, there was a notification that the sim card is locked. Couldn't do much in the network settings. Didn't see any T-Mobile apps in the drawer or applications list.

Since you have the phone and same carrier, I assume you have this working. Where did I mess up?

Thanks

A few questions:
Thanks for the work. I have a few questions:

1. How would I get this working on a 930F?
2. Is the T-Mobile support package something that I can use on other 7.0 custom roms (odex/deodexed) or is it specific to stock?
3. How would I root the phone (I've never run Android 7 not on a custom pre-rooted rom)?

Thanks for the work. I have a few questions:

1. How would I get this working on a 930F?

I personally don't know the answer to this. I haven't looked into the differences between the Flat and Edge variants.

2. Is the T-Mobile support package something that I can use on other 7.0 custom roms (odex/deodexed) or is it specific to stock?

You should be able to use this in other TW 7.0 ROMs (both odexed and deodexed). The files are from the SM-G935T ROM, but are not device-specific.

3. How would I root the phone (I've never run Android 7 not on a custom pre-rooted rom)?

SuperSU is currently broken with TW 7.0 due it's method of handling SELinux. You'll need to use Magisk + phh Superuser.

Magisk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Superuser: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-phh-s-superuser-android-pay-t3435921

It might be easiest to flash the T-Mobile support package on top of your existing ROM if you're already running TW 7.0.

Your process was correct. I'd imagine this has to due with how TouchWiz handles the your dual-SIM variant. The T-Mobile CSC does not support dual-SIM, so it's likely that the presence of the second slot would confuse the system.

I do have this working on my phone, but I have the regular SM-G935F.

System: G935FXXU1ZPKK
Modem: G935FXXU1ZPKH

Thank you for your efforts. I using tmobile with G935F as well.
Can the "T-Mobile support package" (CSC for TMB) be used with any Nougat ROM ?

If the ROM is not modified too drastically, I'd imagine it would work just fine.

 

[Sunnyschlecht]

Are you planning on releasing a new version with the new beta?
Also, when trying to backup or restore from Samsung cloud I get an error and it doesn't work either way . Any one else have that problem?
Thank you so much for your work !

Yes, absolutely! I'll update to the latest beta either today or tomorrow. I'll check on the Samsung Cloud backup/restore with the new update.

 

[Sunnyschlecht]

Thank you so much. Just a heads up the WiFi calling gives me ER08 when trying to connect, so I'm hoping for your magical work.

I haven't tried with Nougat, but that hasn't been an issue for MM.
I'm also using a G935FD with wifi-calling, VoLTE, etc. on T-mobile using Superman 1.17 and TMB CSC via CSC selector (1.8).
From what I've experienced, the second sim slot doesn't come into play unless you're actually using two sims; otherwise it just functions as an SD slot.

I flashed this and am on T-mobile. Wifi calling works but I am not able to connect to the t-mobile netwrok at all - my signal bar indicator stays at zero bars and I am not connecting. The APN is correct, and LTE DIscovery says not connected. I reflashed the TMB support file and it still does not work.

Any ideas?

I did get this working (t-mobile support files but with other roms (both ontheedge 5.3 and KingofNougat 3) . I had that error a few times. To get things working, I flashed the roms with their default csc, rebooted. I got a no signal). I rebooted and got a signal. I saw this step in one of the rom's forums as being necessary with magdisk. Once I was good signal-wise, I rebooted and flashed the support package. It now works for wifi + volte. It has both the volte signal and the round (rcs) logo.

I will give it a try... I believe that you said you flashed another rom with their default CSC then flashed the TMB support package, but I dont believe that you are saying you got it working with this ROM, is that correct?
