[Q] very strange issue

hi,
first off all sorry for my poor english... :d
I bought a DHD from netherland actualy the phone comes from england( virgin telecom branded)
when i was home with my " new " phone. i started to unlock this machine.
- 1/ make a goldcard succeed
- 2/ downgrade to 1.32.x it was 1.75.x so i must be downgrade succeed
- 3/ radio s-off en then ENG s-off succeed
- 4/ then check my bootloader i have a supercid cid is 111......
everythink is okey so far my phone is unlockt.
now, in belgium we have 3 providers proximus, mobistar and base(kpn group)
if i insert proximus and mobistar i can send and talk no problem at all.
but if i insert base sim card i can't send or talk because i have no network,
but i have one think "mobile data" so i can to internet with gprs no network.
i have tried another base sim the same, i have tried my sim in other phone works perfect. i have talk to the service hotline they says everything is okey here you must be able to connect in our network.
when i try to manual search to a network en then select base i have a error
" your sim card doesn't allowed to register to this network"
i already install another radio, another rom...
who can help me, otherwise i gonna slam it to the f*cking wall.
thanks
my specs.
andriod : 2.3.2
baseband : 12.28b.60.140eu_26.03.02.26_m
kernel; 2.6.35.10-g4a4b278
build 2.16.0.0
andriod revolution hd 4 f*cking 0 :d btw: perfect rom i like it

Hi, don't apologise for your English, its perfectly understandable!
What frequencies does this Base use, are you sure the DHD supports them?
I remember a week or so back someone had the same issue with the Base network. I don't think that was resolved either.

hi,
base uses this band :E-GSM and DCS-1800
width(mhz) : 2 x 5 and for dhs-1800 :2 x 22
channel : 25 " " " " ; 110
i think desire hd is compatible with that frequencies stuff.
why have i grps network but no normal signals?
There is something to do with imei block or something?

I would try speaking to Base see if they offer support for DHD, if they do offer official support that would suggest it should work on their network, is Base in the APN list for ARHD?

i don't know exactly
i have been spoke with them. they says you must do a unlock for the phone
but i have already done, very f*king strange.
where you exacty can see for the arhd?
i think the best solution is: i gonna sell them, and buy a regular/no branded phone.
i worked 2 weeks with that phone.
erase everythink start again, again again. factory reset etc..
but sometimes i have network when i do restart iets gone again.
damn

Sounds like an issue with ARHD to me, if you can see a network sometimes very strange, have you tried a different ROM? possibly just a rooted stock i.e one of the raidroid roms

[Q] Help! Flashing a French model to UK stock

So I received my Arc S today in the UK, and it's a French model - I knew it'd be a European model of some sort when I ordered, so that's fine.
But even though I've set the language to English, I'm still finding a few things in French and it seems like my UK network can't detect what phone I have, and I'm unable to get a data connection.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to flash a generic stock or O2-UK stock rom to it please? I used to have a HTC Sensation and have experience rooting and custom rom'ing with that. My current build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42.
Do I root and flash the stock firmware from this page?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204302
So to build number 4.0.A.2.368, to be clear. Will that give me all the generic/UK stock options instead of French video services, Canal+ and Jeux Gameloft?! I really don't need a custom rom, in fact I want it to be as much like I've just bought it from a UK supply as possible and don't even need rooting or the bootloader unlocked at the end of it if that can be avoided.
Your help is much appreciated in advance!

Thanks! It doesn't seem to have a generic UK firmware - only Central Europe 1/2/3 without listing the difference - but I've emailed Wotanserver to see if they can advise.
Is their method safe, do you know?

HTC One M9 volte

Hello devs is there going to be a rom that will work on volte? I'm running an HTC One M9 AT&T with dev edition ruu right at this moment but I have flashed everything from venom to insert coin to lineage, aicp, more, beanstalk...... None will work on VoLTE I have to either run 3g all the time or turn 4g off while I'm not using data it's very annoying cause I forget. I have been looking for a solution Nada. Please help if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks in advance!

The dev edition firmware doesn't support VoLTE. You need to use a branded firmware which has VoLTE enabled. It doesn't matter which rom you use as long as your firmware doesn't support this feature.

Well the one I have is working its a dev edition but when I flash a custom ROM I have to turn off 4g to receive phone calls

As said before, the problem (normally) isn't which rom you flash. It's which firmware you use. If you convert your phone e.g. to the AT&T branded version and flash e.g. ViperOne, ICE or Leedroid, afterwards, you can use VoLTE.
The dev edition (just like the unbranded European and the unbranded Asian version) doesn't have VoLTE enabled by default. The stock rom of said firmware versions switches to 3G automatically as soon as you receive a phone call. I'm not sure why that feature doesn't work on your phone as soon as you flash a custom rom. From my own experiences, it's working fine on e.g. ViperOne.

I can confirm flippy, the wwe is capable of volte as I get it on O2. It would seem here in the UK you need a branded firmware to get onto volte BUT if you debrand the phone to wwe it can volte on any network.
For example ee say that only ee branded phones can use their volte, which is true because all other branded phones can only use 'their' networks volte as it is preprogrammed and cannot be changed by normal means.
If you root, change cid and debrand with another firmware then you can use any volte as it depends on the sim card in the phone.
On HTC devices custom roms just piggy back of the firmware that is pre installed. The rom is just another form of user interface for the device so in theory the rom 'should' be volte compatible providing the firmware installed before it was capable and unbranded. Remember that only "branded" devices can use the network unless its unlocked wwe. So if you had an att firmware and you flash a custom rom onto it then it is no longer branded and shouldn't be allowed.. If its previously unbranded and you flash a rom then it should be allowed. Needs testing..
A long winded way of telling you bugger all but I hope it makes the carriers requirements a tad clearer..

Actually this is not true, or maybe your wwe it's actually not wwe.
I have s.rom custom rom, if I have 4.28.401.3 firmware volte isn't working(the function disappear from settings)
If I flash the Orange UK firmware(4.19.61.1) the VoLTE is working, and no I don't have Orange UK sim, I tested with Orange RO and Telekom RO.

Flashing a custom rom doesn't debrand the phone. The debranding process consists of
getting S-OFF
changing the CID to one that belongs to either SKU 617 (dev edition), 401 (unbranded European), 708 (unbranded Asian), 709 (another unbranded Asian) or 710 (unbranded Australian)
flashing either a RUU or one of Sneakyghost's firmware packs that belong to the CID you chose before
And you don't need to debrand for using other carriers with your phone. Only a sim unlock might be needed if the carrier branding contains a sim lock.
If you really use one of the unbranded firmwares then the M9 isn't capable of using VoLTE. That's why all the Jio customers from India convert their phones to either the AT&T or the T-Mobile US version.
Like @lucyr03 explained, it doesn't matter which carrier you use as long as the firmware of your phone is capable of VoLTE.

Mine has htc_001 from factory so it is wwe. It was never branded and I get volte on 02 or ee depending on which sim I use.
To unbrand your phone you must flash either wwe euro or wwe usa firmware. All other firmwares are branded.

I was referring to this part of your last post:

And there are more unbranded firmwares than the dev edition and the European unbranded one (which both aren't called wwe since that's an abbreviation for world wide English).

Xperia XZ2 compact VoLTE

Hi there,
Is there anyone on this forum that has an Xz2 COMPACT with the VoLTE enabled? If yes, can you please let us know which firmware are you using? Many Thanks

The volte is enabled based on what network you are using. Tmobile has shunned our phone and its impossible to have VOLTE. The only network giving us an official blessing is VERIZON the volte works so good. Forget about sprint and ATT is not consistent with it's game right now either.

VoLTE activation
Hi,
I have XZ2 Compact (Locked Bootloader) and after few tries, I think I managed to get VoLTE working with my carrier 2 days ago on Oreo ROM.
Maybe this will help others
I bought H8324 (DualSIM) with Central Europe 1 (CE1, CDA 1313-3194) firmware in local store, my carrier is Vodafone Czech Republic and VoLTE did not work out of the box after VoLTE and VoWifi activation in My Vodafone.
There is no option to activate VoLTE switch, it is grayed out. (Hidden Settings -> RadioInfo -> VoLTE Provisioned).
My carrier sells just XZ2 single SIM phone.
After some attempts 2 months ago with different region firmwares, that offered VoLTE Provisioned switch to be enabled (e.g. DE, CDA 1313-6204) and did not work (when call started, it immediately dropped from LTE to 2G/3G ), I tried it again 2 days ago.
On XperiFirm I found Global Vodafone Oreo firmware for XZ2 (H8216) and after UNSIN of oem_X-*.sin and system_X-*.sin files and exploring these files, I found that CDA 1313-8220 is the right firmware for Vodafone Czech.
So after that I used Newflasher to flash "hybrid" ROM.
I used XZ2C German fw (DE, CDA 1313-6204, VoLTE Provisioned can be enabled) and OEM file from XZ2 Vodafone fw (CDA 1313-8220).
To the Newflasher folder:
I copied all (*.sin) files and two folders (boot and partition) from XZ2 Compact DE firmware (CDA 1313-6204),
deleted userdata_X-*.sin file (I did not want to wipe my data),
deleted original (XZ2C) oem_X-*.sin and replaced it for the oem_X-*.sin from XZ2 Vodafone,
entered fastboot mode on phone (Power on + hold Volume down)
and flashed "hybrid" ROM with Newflasher
After reboot and enabling VoLTE Provisioned, VoLTE (probably) started working as there is no 2G/3G on call but 4G+ (screenshots attached).
So far I did not noticed any real cons.
I found ONE BIG disadvantage, at least for me. The device has lost Play Protect certification, so I can not use Google Pay for paying in stores any more.
I just noticed changes in Service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) :
Service Info -> Software Info
Customization Version -> 1313-8220_R14A
Current Modem Config -> euro/vodafone/vlvw/cz (used to be something like *general*)
Sidenote: German (DE) Oreo firmware was the only OREO firmware I still had on my computer beside CE1. Now there are almost just PIE on XperiFirm.

Can anyone try to apply the above solution to try to get volte on more carriers with our phone in USA? Thanks.

Hi,
To you and anyone reading this, I desperately followed exactly what rSG1t did after Verizon support failed to help me getting my xz2c working. I've got an unlocked H8314 (I'm in the US) that got data fine, but call and text were not functioning.
I did everything the same for except I just flashed the US firmware from XperiFirm. No replacing of any files or that stuff.
So to OP, yes I have an XZ2C with working VoLTE. My firmware is CDA 1313-0031 USA from XperiFirm. Also if it helps you, I have radio set to LTE only, and after flashing this particular firmware the VoLTE toggle in testing menu is enabled and not grayed out. After doing all of this, it finally works on Verizon with calling, data, and text all working beautifully.

So your XZ2C initially had a US firmware, an you flashed the US firmware from XperiFirm to it, and then everything works?
I am asking so, because I am in a pretty similar situation, except that my carrier is AT&T

only possible on verz

I'm in Canada using Videotron on the H8324. I can confirm that VoLTE is working using the most recent unbranded customized DE Firmware 1313-6204 52.0.A.8.14 but with both oem_*.sin files from the branded Videotron H8314 firmware. You can simply flash only the OEM files using newflasher if you already have a VoLTE-provisioned (like the DE) firmware installed.

Everyone who is using the XZ2 Compact on USA Verizon is using VoLTE. This phone does not support CDMA, so the only way it can make/receive phone calls is with LTE. (I am on Verizon.) My build number is 52.0.A.71. You may get more suitable responses if you specify which Country/Carrier and model of XZ2 you have. (8134 vs. 8234).

Glad it isn't just me. I have xz2 factory unlocked and am unable to call whilst using data due to my being unable to use volte

Wifi Calling on unbranded H8324 with Orange France
@rSG1t just wanted to say thank you ! I had a slightly different problem :
In France Orange doesn't support Wifi Calling on unbranded (non Orange) XZ2 Compact. I do have the option activated on my plan, but don't have the option showing in the menu.
Another problem is that Xperifirm doesn't propose any Orange Rom for France for the H8324.
So I followed your procedure with DE stock + Orange MCV FR/ES/PL/SK/RO for H8216, and it worked !
I also have the VoLTE enabled in the hidden menu, but I don't think I have this option in my plan (and I don't see the option in the settings menu), so I assume it's not working (which is not a big deal as my main goal was to be able to place and receive calls in my countryside house where I have no cellular coverage).

N976B firmware question

Hey guys...I have a Note 10 plus 5G from UK, but I am using it in another country (Romania). We have 5G here as well, so this is not the problem. The firmware on the phone is not the latest, but it doesnt find the new one via OTA. I checked the firmware site and there are the August one there. So the question is, if I upgrade via Odin, with one of those FW, will it lock to an UK carrier? Or a German one, or other? Or will it remain unlocked and no issues there?
Thanks!

Indeed, thank you, did that, all went fine.

I have a similar question. I have a EE unit note 10+ 5g and was wondering if flashing the UK non ee version with a different CSC from samobile will actually change my phone's CSC or will it still detect it's a ee device and still say EVR/EVR/EVR under service provider information. thanks

If you use the multi-csc OXM it will change as per below.
