After two months of searching i found z3x samsung tool
I have g920p model and i live in europe so i needed way to unlock it myself without paying because it is expensive here or people dont even know or have resources to unlock it.It was unlocked but i tried to make it connect on 4g because i only had 3g so i changed csc from spr to xas thinking that xas is gsm csc so i may get it working on my gsm carrier (because SPR csc is cdma)after wich it locked.Its working on nougat(and most likely marshmallow) and it will read your msl code.
i will link the tool.It will also work on many other models and other samsung phones
I have tried it on biggdaddy aroma 1.1 rom so custom roms are supported i guess because it does something with RIL and modem wich are not part of rom.It will work on stock rooted 99%
Requirements;
*Adb interface
*Rooted galaxy s6 (magisk or su)
*phone set to modem+adb
Installation:
1.i am not responsible for anything that happens to your device
2. Install idone app and grant it root premission
3.in the app there is option for IOT HIDDENMENu,click on it
4.tap on usb setting and set it to modem+adb and dont forget to set it back to what it was after unlocking
5.Reboot
7.if not enabled enable usb debugging and oem unlock just in case
6.connect it to pc and do adb check(adb devices command),if it is listed its ok(if it asks you for premission grant it),you wont see it as storage device because we have set it as adb+modem mode so dont worry.
7.Run z3x on your computer and select your model
8.click on unlock tab and select the adb interface and click on unlock,it will also read msl code
9.Grant it root premision when it asks you
10.It wil reboot
Its unlocked now
I will post links and make tutorial better if anyone is interested(comment on the thread if you are).
Everything mentioned will be provided in zip so no need to find it yourself.

on the sprint phones if you get into IOTHIDDENMENU you can configure GCF/ON and change to LTE/GSM/WCDMA only then youre unlocked for GSM. This worked up to the S6 edge+. Havent tested this on 7.0 yet but it worked on marshmallow and below

I am having problem related to this post. I have unlocked sm-g920p, using it outside USA. The problem is drain battery due to "device idle" (kindly see picture below) I believe this problem because of I am not using CDMA network. Every time if i flash ROM, "HANDS FREE ACTIVATION" pops up. I disabled package using adb. But i guess its still working background searching for right carrier network. Any solution How I can rid off this "device idle" drain and stop "HANDS FREE ACTIVATION" running on background??? Or else maybe HOW CAN I CONVERT THIS CDMA TO COMPLETLY GSM WORKING PHONE AND NOT RUNNING BACKGROUND ANY NETWORK SEARCHING SERVICES??

Hey umm cell idle should not be problem on nougat they fixed it on lolipop .i think it is fixed by downloading update for samsung push service i guess an should not be issue ,however you can google it
Regarding battery usage
It is not because of hands free activation tho i debloated my rom with root uninstaller from apps i dont need(sprint and other stuff) you can if you still have root delete hands free activation complety just to be shure
You can do it too or do factory reset and update everything
Also
You can install battery or wakelock monitor to see what is draining
Most of the things can be solved with factory reset.
For conversion you have one setting in iot hiddenmenu wich you can open with idonee of you still have it is in one of the first settings you can choose between cdma or gsm lte global mode ,i have enabled it just in case but it didnt enable 4g wich taught it would

I figured it out
Only sprints galaxy s6 doesnt have band 3 and my country only uses band 3 for lte
Every other s6 model has it and later s7 s8 s9 from sprint
They all have band 3 but s6 doesnt
Until my country adds another one there is no way
Alsi
Band 3 is used in whole europe but in my country is only b3 and some have 7 and 4 and thats how it is possible for other people...
Senior dev on xda tried it but ,,hardware wast capable and unstable....,,

Personally I am waiting for custom themese and the ability to use freaking internet sharing without ponying up the extra 30 dollars US that the darn phone comes built with. Oh registry tweak where are you!?
I'd be surprised if there isn't at least an Interop unlock within a month.

Is anyone else able to install the care suite on a win 7 64 bit system? I keep getting errors that I need some x86 c++ thing installed, which leads me to believe there is no 64 bit version. Not to mention that what I've read says that you need v4 installed to run v5. Both give me the error. Any ideas?

I'm running it on Windows 7 Professional x64, and I only installed v5. When you see those errors, copy and paste (highlight/Ctrl C) the addresses to download the required files. There were two for me. Install the first one, then try to run the installer again, it pops up with another one. Install that, then try to install again, and it goes right through.
Also, after installation, you will need a USB driver for the Nokia Suite & Fuse Connection Manager. For my Windows version, I used this one:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers\WinUSB Drivers x64.msi
There are a bunch in there, but this worked for me. If that does not work for someone, try another. I'd suggest this one for Windows 7 x86:
C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers\WinUSB Drivers x86.msi
Believe me, NOBODY is more excited than I am to find this, and find it works on Windows 7 x64. Now, I can start to play with released Custom ROMs and Customizations without worrying as much. During Recovery, there is an option for USB Dead Phone Flashing. I would assume this is for Bricked Phones.
anybody use the Data Package Manager yet to see what Roms that Nokia has available? I am seeing two variants of the Rom for each color Lumia 900.
For Example for the Black version I see 2 listed they are
1. RM-808 ATT RETAIL DEVICE ALIVE BLACK
2. RM-808 VAR ATT BLACK
Anybody have an idea as to what could be different? In the Package Manager there is nothing to distinguish what the difference is between the 2 other than the Product Code of the ROM, the SW Version is the same throughout all the ROMS, and the Firmware Files are all the same size minus the Rogers Rom, they are all 350.42MB.
I've Uploaded a screenshot of the application with the ROMS Listed.
I don't know what's different, if anything, but I personally flashed the ATT Retail Alive one to my phone. I believe they call those others Variant files.
Use Rogers's ROM to flash AT&T devices

Nokia Lumia 900
HI Gents,
Have a question as i'm quiet new to this:
I have a Nokia Lumia 900 locked by at&t in the US. I purchased it on ebay and live in Australia.
By me flashing this phone, will it unlock it from the at&t network with ROMS provided by the above links in this thread?
Best Regards,
crowvat

I don't believe you can unlock the radio by flashing one of these, but maybe someone else can offer insight?
Again, I have NOT successfully flashed the Rogers ROM to my ATT Lumia, and I'm not even sure it will work. Keep in mind, it may brick your phone like flashing the wrong version of the Focus ROMs did to some Samsung Focuses, or how the HD2 had two different Radio Versions that bricked them if used incorrectly. Those two situations were unrecoverable without sending in to Factory for repair.
Another thing to keep in mind. These are 100% Original ROMs from Nokia. There are no changes or Hacks in these. You only get what your phone was originally shipped with. No need to use these if your phone is working properly. I posted them for anyone who wanted to look inside the ROMs for hacking, or anyone who has a phone in brick state that wants to try to recover.
I have a feeling successfully being able to flash the Rogers ROM over the ATT ROM might actually unlocked the internet sharing... However it's probably best to confirm in the other forum with someone who's unlocked the Rogers L900 on Telus if they were able to actually use it or if it remaining locked to Rogers.. If not, we're wasting our time trying.
I just tried to FORCE flash the Rogers ROM to my ATT Lumia, but I could not get it to work. It is failing due to not being correct hardware. Someone else might have better luck than I did. My guess is the files will need to be modified a little somewhere.
I also just added Images to the first Post that show Nokia Care Suite, and what phones are supported using this tool.

Rogers customer here.
The internet sharing option IS available but any connected devices will not get internet access unless you have a tethering plan. So even if you flash a Rogers ROM to an AT&T phone, it seems the provider still can disable internet sharing on their end.

I wonder if you can't flash it right now because the Rogers version is also a HSPA 42 device while the ATT is only 21. Dont know if this is enough of a difference for it not to work.

That's how the ATT version is. The option exists, but you have to call in to ATT and have it enabled for an extra charge.
I believe for those who want it free, you'll need to wait for registry access... Even then, doesn't ATT eventually find out and back charge?
Makes me wonder. Can a Rogers customer call Rogers and have it enabled for a charge on an ATT phone?

Good afternoon.
I come with the illusion that any developer can help users of LG P870, I wonder if someone could develop a way to install ClockworkMod recovery as custon able to use unofficial roms, and I am desperate for waiting to come out some method to free once and for all this great phone, the phone is becoming popular because it is inexpensive and is being distributed in the U.S. by AT&T and Telcel Mexico, please support us to all of us that we have this phone.
To add a little, this phone already has root method Bin4ry with a restore script via adb.
I would love for this phone to get unlocked with CWM. It's an amazing phone. We just need to pull everyone together that has one and get them on here until someone can help. I appreciate all of the devs on here and I hope we can get something going on this awesome phone.
Ditto.
Jelly Beans.... Optimus F5 has it. Escape is the same phone. Guess we wait. Hopefully, not as long like Optimus 3D/Thrill.
Disappointing
send an email to LG for a response on whether there would be an early upgrade of our model to Jelly Bean or at least unlocking the bootloader and this was his response:
Thank you for your interest about our mobile phone.
“We received your request on LG Open Source Code Distribution site(http://opensource.lge.com).
This site is just for providing source codes of FOSS(Free and Open Source Software) we have used in our product.”
We don’t have any detailed information about LGP870’s boot loader unlock.
If there is any news, LG will announce officially.
Please wait for more times.
We hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
simply a misfortune I regret having bought this phone from LG
No support
I contacted LG open source and the person that emailed me back said that the escape doesn't support bootloader unlocking.

Has there been any development on P870 so far? At least is there a way to get unbloated version of stock firmware or change the language of the OS?
It would be cool if there is at least a list of stuff we can safely get rid of? Or can we try to get a different version to remove all the crapware AT&T pre-loaded?
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, there has been no further development. I love this phone, but the lack of support is slowly making me go for either the optimus g or g2. Also as far as I know, there is no list. Its just trial and error I guess. I've personally tried to remove some stuff, but after a reboot it says security error. So certain things will cause a security error while others will be just fine. Btw, the only way (that I know of) to fix a security error is to use the lg support tool to recover your phone.

I see you are still using the device, any specific complaints about the software or the bloatware? Or are they just sitting there chilling until you actually run them? I know T-Mo had a bunch that were constantly running like T-Mo back up, My T-Mo, etc.. After the security error, was it a total restore/recovery or was it not destructive recovery? Sorry, I am not familiar with LG at all, coming from T-679 which was extremely flexible, this is a bit puzzling.
How about language, anyway to switch the language of the OS to something like German?

This is the same issue I am having is that it is coming up with that security error thing. I got into download mode and got the lg update program and every time it keeps stopping telling me to unplug and take out the battery and stuff. Just keeps doing it. Is there another way or is there something I am missing?
HELP PLEASE

Try putting your phone in download mode before using the lg support tool. That normally helps for me. Make sure you choose upgrade recovery in the options tab.

I know T-Mo had a bunch that were constantly running like T-Mo back up, My T-Mo, etc.. After the security error, was it a total restore/recovery or was it not destructive recovery? Sorry, I am not familiar with LG at all, coming from T-679 which was extremely flexible, this is a bit puzzling.
How about language, anyway to switch the language of the OS to something like German?

They don't run in the background unless you update them and set them up. I keep all the updates uninstalled and disable auto update so i don't have to worry about them. And yes it is a total recovery. Nothing is saved unless it is on your sim card or sd card. You can change the system language, but I don't see a german option. You might be able to download a language pack from the play store. I'll check into it and let you know.
P.S. sorry for the late reply..
Thanks! I am looking for German and Turkish.
Also I was browsing and saw this topic where they state we can update this to latest version:

Cwm recovery for the escape is finally here!!! The guy who made it also made a custom rom. I installed it and tested it. So far everything works (I don't use Bluetooth so I haven't tested that yet).

I went to try to install the recovery and rom. First question is, I skipped the driver install and rooting my phone because I am already rooted using motochopper. The f5_touch_ recovery.apk I was told to run does nothing? I tried extracting it and it swill doesn't run or bring anything up? Do I need a program to run this file or is it because I didn't use the method included to root? Then if that is the case and i'm successful at the recovery. What do I need to do to install the Rom?Please help ASAP! I have the recovery and ROM downloaded and saved waiting to install! Been waiting to do this forever so please help! THanks sooo much!
Hello Fellow OP9 Pro users
I just wanted to start a thread for anyone interested in a OP9/Pro in australia that wanted to get Volte, VoWIFI, and 5G working.
I have tested this and confirmed that it is 100% working for Telstra & Vodafone, I have good word that this method will also work on Optus but don't actually have an Optus sim to test this with.
Huge shout out to happiboi from the OP8 forums for the methods used to get this all working with A11.
First step is to download the oneplus logkit from this link: https://downloadmirror.co/1MW9/com.oem.oemlogkit_1.0-1.apk
Once this has been installed, open the dialer on the phone and type in *#800#, tap on the "oneplus logkit" button, scroll down and tap on "Function switch", then tap on "VoLTE switch" but do not click restart click cancel. Then Tap on "VoWiFi switch" this time press reboot.
Once the phone has rebooted open settings, Wi-Fi & Network, SIM & network, SIM 1, then enable both the toggles for VoLTE and VoWIFI. This is probably also a good time to ensure 5G is enabled under "Prefer network type".
Now what we have done so far is essentially just enable the toggles for everything to work, what we still need to do is actually configure the phone to work on the Australian mobile networks, this is where the information and hard work from happiboi really comes in. I have quoted the guide from happiboi below as it is very well written anyway.
happiboi said:
Code:
Prerequisites:
* Need ADB suite available on PC & enabled "ADB debugging" on phone via developer options
* When you permit your PC adb access to the phone after first adb command, make sure you tick always permit this device. When the phone boots after "adb reboot ftm", the screen is inactive so you can't authorise the device when you try to adb shell and are stuck
* Need QPST suite of apps installed on PC (needed PDC tools + EFS explorer)
* If on custom firmware - probably a good idea to backup your phone before you do this. On custom firmware after the first "adb reboot ftm" rebooting again puts the device in a boot loop until you format data
Process:
- Open command prompt on PC & navigate to where your ADB suite is located
- Type command without "":
"adb devices" (I like to do this to ensure adb can speak with phone/computer)
- Should display:
List of devices attached
<if working, your device should be listed here (else, it'll be blank)>
- Type command without "":
"adb reboot ftm"
--> This puts phone into field test mode
- Type command without "":
"adb shell"
--> Creates dialogue for shell command on phone
- In the shell (OnePlus8Pro:/ $ ) type command without "":
"setprop sys.usb.config diag,diag_mdm,qdss,qdss_mdm,serial_cdev,dpl,rmnet,adb"
--> This opens up ports that we used to be able to in Android 10
- Phone Screen is still blank - but it's OK.
- Start up PDC Tool in Admin mode on PC
- Click drop down, select phone connection (there's only 1 in the list)
--> ** If the drop-down box is empty and no phone/device listed, you cannot proceed.
--> ** Other users have foudn this to be related to a Qualcomm driver issue.
--> ** Delete the drivers you have currently installed and get a new one from here:
--> ** https://gsmusbdriver.com/install-qualcomm-usb-driver.
--> ** Also once the device shows up in PDC don't click on it, open efs explorer and let it start searching directories --> ** before going back to PDC and clicking on the device in the drop down.
--> ** The window may say 'not responding' just leave it until the carrier list populates then carry on with below steps
- Do the profile activation stuff for Telefonica_UK_Commercial:
- Look for "Telefonica_UK_Commercial", right click and SetSelectedConfig for both Sub0 and Sub1
- Click on the above profile again and click on Activate
- Do not restart your phone
- Don't close PDC yet (don't know if it make a difference but I didn't close)
- Open EFS Explorer (I opened in Admin mode too)
- Navigate to "\nv\item_files\ims\"
- Replace ims_user_agent file with one supplied
--> The supplied one has Telstra VoLTE Qualcomm as header instead of Telefonica
- Navigate to "\policyman"
- Replace carrier_policy.xml & carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01 with ones supplied.
--> Just take carrier_policy.xml and make a copy named "carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01"
--> ** Caveat, I further modified the carrier_policy.xml file as it wasn't enabling 5G for me on my IN2020 (Android 11) Oneplus 8 Pro.
--> ** I changed the nr5g_sa_bands base & nr5g_nsa_bands base values to be "hardware" rather than specifically band n78.
--> ** This changes config to allow whatever 5G bands the hardware has available rather than specific bands
--> ** You can't enable bands that the hardware doesn't support anyway so makes sense to enable all
--> ** This gave me the needed 5G access with Telstra
- Type command without "":
"adb reboot"
After phone boots back up, 5G + VoLTE + VoWiFi are all intact and in working order!

Cheers guys.
Thanks for this. Can confirm that this works for the UK as well. I'm on VOXI (Vodafone) and saw no option for wifi calling. Just followed the first part to download the logkit, enabled switch, wifi calling working

Hey there,
I'm glad this is working for you too - the credit really goes back to all the XDA users who have helped to give guidance in creating these steps
For anyone reading and interested, it has now been confiremd working on OP6, 7, 8 and 9 series phones (as well as Nord).
Great way to get features that should be 'enabled' from OP themselves and remember you will need to do this after every system/OTA update to re-enable these functions.
Happy days, cheers all!
Thanks so much! This worked perfectly for me with an 8pro on Telstra. I work in an area with a 4G only tower so haven't been able to make calls for the last 6 months!
Could the same methodology be followed for my colleague's Xiaomi mi 10t pro 5g?

There's no harm in trying on the Xiaomi.
The other way to attempt this was the original process outlined here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/volte-and-vowifi-in-australia.4095097/post-82847027
The only reason we (OnePlus users) had to change our method was because OP closed off access to the efs ports after the android 11 updates.
Not working whit Ho mobile Italy carrier
Ho can restore the original versione of. com.oem.oemlogkit

Thanks a lot for this! thought I was being screwed by Telstra the whole time.
Confirmed working on LE2123, Oxygen build 11.2.6.6.LE15BA with Telstra 5G, VoWIFI & VoLTE, though when installing the Qualcomm driver in Device Manager I had to use the "Qualcomm HS-USB WWAN Adapter 9091" option to make my phone show up in QPST.

Hey there! I have a Nord (EU AC2003 model) and I'm in Bulgaria on the Telenor network. I don't care about VoLTE or VoWIFI but I do want to be able to use 5G as my carrier supports it (and should be compatible with the phone as they are using the n78 band according to Wikipedia and the phone supports it).
On the phone Telenor said it needed no special activation on their side so this is an issue with the device. I don't have the 5G option in preferred network selection at all so I thought this guide would help until I saw that the XML files are for Telstra.
You said that it has been confirmed to work on Nord, my question is, would this guide work specifically to force the phone to use 5G (I have already tried enabling it through the engineering menu via dialing *#*#4636#*#* but that doesn't work for me)? My second question is whether it would be possible for someone show me how to modify the XML files for my carrier (Telenor BG)/modify them for me if that's the case?

i previously had 5g working and volte but ever since i updated firmware for the 8t i lose it i also did the steps which got me 5g before still with no success hopefully this will help which you editing stuff for telstra. the ims whch you put for telstra do i need it im with optus
Just wanted to say this guide is working with an Optus network sim card in Australia!
Carrier: Moose Mobile (Optus)
Device: One Plus 8 Pro (In2020)
Android version 11
As @LordFigTree mentioned I also had to use the "Qualcomm HS-USB WWAN Adapter 9091" driver.
Other than that flawless guide, thank you very much to everyone who made this possible!

Might be something to do with the special characters in your user file name? Not sure but it might be worth trying to copy the file from the root of your drive.

Weird, just did it exactly the same as I did last time but it has now worked, showing i have full 5G connection.
Thanks @mhall156 i wouldn't have tried again if you didn't say it's still working for you, not sure how i screwed it last time but glad i got 5G back.
Awesome, I'm glad it's working! I have had some attempts not work for seemingly unknown reasons. I've just restarted the phone and tried again and have always seemed to make it work.
It's a shame we have to go through this to make our otherwise great phones work properly.
Hi Guys,
For the past couple of days I have been trying hard to make VoLTE & VoWiFi work for an unsupported carrier(Airtel India). As known Nexus 5X supports VoLTE out of the box for only handful of networks and for the rest there should be some manual way to enable it. I am currently in India and have tested JIO network which worked out of the box in stock and LOS15 rom. And then recently moved to another location where I had to switch to Airtel and then no normals Calls/VoLTE except LTE data, very occasionally it does switch(not instantly) to GSM for calls.
I have started the work with a google search and XDA search where I have noticed many 3/4 years old devices including pixel, one plus, Xiaomi, Sony devices have come across similar issue and able to fix it manually. With the same spirit I tried some fixes that were intended for Pixel/other devices and failed miserably. Despite all the tries I still have high hopes and patience and looking forward to get some advice or even work together if anyone is interested. If anyone is wondering why I am so desperate on such a old device - honestly for me 5X is one of the best devices of the time and to date with some lineage OS roms(LOS 15.1, Havoc OS and /e/OS) and limited apps it runs very smoothly. Hardware was built well on budget except some manufacturing batches failed with boot-loop due to SoC assembly issues.
Note: I am an ordinary DIY'st with an interest in linux development and electronics and by no means an experienced developer. I am here to learn, unlearn and share experiences.
Below are the things I have tried so far ...
I tested the following methods on LOS 15/16/17 and the result is same. I have tried multiple times on LOS 15 because one of the senior member @razorloves said here that there are some serious bugs affecting the VoLTE functionality in LOS 16 and 17.
{Guide} QXDM Port activation on Pixel 2 XL, (VoLTE,WoWIFI,CA)First I followed the above guide with some changes, to enable diag port on 5X the commands are below taken from this reddit post
Code:
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
Next disable Sepolicy
Code:
setenforce 0
Installed latest Magisk zip for root.
Extracted modem config files from similar SoC/motherboard device rom. I checked the radio.img of bullhead 8.1 factory images which has MSM8994 model (see screenshots)

}
Then I checked the wiki for Qualcomm devices which actually shows that MSM8992 is 5X but never mind I took reference from the factory images and started looking for modem files in MSM8994 devices. I searched quite a few devices and at last found files for Oneplus2, ZTE Nubia Z9 and Xperia Z5. All 3 devices had the carrier mbn files which I was looking for but then only Oneplus2 had exactly the same folder structure as the 5X factory image. I see Nexus 6P has similar SoC but I couldn't find a way to unpack the radio.img from factory build, if anyone knows a way then let me know.
As mentioned in the post installed Qualcomm drivers and QPST software, connected 5X. Device manager automatically installed additional drivers and 5X diag port is listed under ports. I opened the PDC tool under QPST, loaded all carrier mbn files from bullhead factory image, just to make sure they're loaded properly and be able to edit/delete. And the factory image mbn files all look good, then I removed all the files except default ones(which can't be deleted). Then tried loading the mbn files from all 3 devices but to my surprise none of them are loaded and there is no error/warning prompts. The PDC tool just keeps quite no matter whatever device file I load, except the factory ones. This is where I am stuck right now with no clue what's happening or what to be done to trace or fix the issue. I am thinking if everything fails then its possible edit mbn file to match the device/carrier???
Second day I continued my search and came across these two [GUIDE]Enable VoLTE for unsupported carriers & [GUIDE] Enable China Telecom LTE by modifying modem partitions
both are similar with different technique to insert files into 5X. I wasn't good at making Magisk modules so went with same old linux way as mentioned in the second link. And guess what none of them worked!!!
I even found the apns-full.xml and cross checked with the working carrier JIO and noticed that Airtel is missing IMS apn section. I copied the IMS apn section from JIO and modified the MNC, MCC and pasted below the Airtel sections, rebooted the phone with no luck.
I still believe that I might be missing something or there is a whole new way to do it, who knows? if anyone in this forum is interested to help or work together please let me know I will share all the files and logs if needed.
Mean while when I was searching the posts mentioned I have come across couple of members who have tried and worked hard to solve similar issue. I am tagging them below If they don't mind giving some inputs.

@Xdevillived666
Thank you guys I learned something from your struggles
PS: I was able to open/view EFS explorer all folder/file structure. I thought of being cautious and not to mess with EFS without knowledge, if that helps to find solution then let me know.
Hi! If you are able to use PDC tool, it could be the easiest possibility to get VoLTE working.
At first, you need to enable VoLTE switch in settings, it could be done with voenabler magisk module. Install it, restart phone.
Second, little more complicated step is finding proper *mbn file for your carrier... It should be from phone with same SOC like yours Nexus. Here is list of phones with same cpu. You need to extract *mbn file from their ROM and load it with PDC and activate it. You can check that loaded file is working if after restarting phone is that file still marked as active in PDC.
You could also load mbn for other carrier, it could works too, but it is a lot of trying...

Hi @somin.n thanks for the reply. Like said I have tried PDC tool with no luck with 3 different roms. For the sake of this post I would mention Havoc Rom(Android 10) - I can see the VoLTE switch settings and when tested with other network(Jio) both VoLTE VoWiFi is working good. Do you think I should still use Magisk module and test it for the network I am trying to make work?

Ok I have already got the phones list from wikipedia and extracted mbns. I will also check your link and see if I can find something new to try. But nevertheless based on bullhead factory radio image(MSM8994) I have tried loading config files from OnePlus2, Xperia Z5, ZTE Nubia Z9 and got no result. I mean when I load the mbn file the PDC tool will stop responding for few seconds and then it doesn't load anything.
Hi! VoLTE/WoWiFi switches should be visible only on originaly supported networks... If you will some way add new mbn, switches will not be activated automatically, for this is needed voenabler module.
If PDC is freezing while loading mbn, it could be because the loaded file isn't compatible, maybe...

Yes true, I came to know this when I cross checked loading the 5X mbn files(other networks) which loaded perfectly. But when I load mbn from other devices with same SoC its not loading. Today I checked devices from your link and download/extracted mbn files from 2 devices LG V10 and Xiaomi 4c. Unfortunately both the devices doesn't have my mobile operator files, but for testing I tried loading some other network mbn files and none of them are working. Very strange that even with exactly the same SoC device I couldn't load any mbn files.
Lastly today I have downgraded to Nougat ROM to find out working VoLTE, unfortunately came to know only some networks are supported. But like mentioned here there seems to another method in Nougat to add VoLTE for unsupported networks. So now I am trying to understand how to add/edit my carrier to vendor.xml, looks like this file is in device tree and can only be done by developer/maintainer?
Vendor.xml file is probably only for adding switches to settings...

Yeah I had the same feeling after reading some code under bullhead vendor.xml which I found online. So ultimately I need to have the correct mbn file to be able to get IMS registered and VoLTE/VoWiFi work.
Think I have come to dead end as there are no MSM8992 devices with my carrier mbn and Idk whether we can create one with reference to other device. Maybe I will try find some LG/Google firmware engineer and email for advice
BTW, do you think its possible to do some edits inside EFS explorer ?
Dear @lamour

Yes I also read that many of them able to use different mbn (if i am not wrong - from different SoC phone and even the mbn carrier file is not belong to their currently using carrier) and they successfully activated volte/vowifi (at least volte if not vowifi).

forum.xda-developers.com
I think this is what you have done (or almost same with the method above).

Then tried loading the mbn files from all 3 devices but to my surprise none of them are loaded and there is no error/warning prompts. The PDC tool just keeps quite no matter whatever device file I load, except the factory ones.

This also happened to me when I followed the method from the thread above. The PDC tool just doesn't do anything after clicked load mbn file.
I was informed in the thread that to make it work, the mbn file has to be specific to LG V20 (in your case is Nexus 5X). So I begin to search for LG V20 mbn file (even if it is not belong to my carrier) but end up empty handed.
I read quite a lot threads on enable volte/vowifi. Most of them showed how to turn on the volte switch option (using root) but without the mbn or carrier volte configuration, the volte switch is just a placebo. Fyi, I don't root my V20 because the process is quite difficult.
I tried to get assist in finding the V20 mbn in other threads and so far no news. I wish OP can share alternative method or mbn to enable the volte for our phones if you found one. After 3G shut down and without volte, our phones will become obsolete piece of brick.
Hi everyone!
after a lot of searching (including in this forum) i haven't quite understood what is or isn't possible, and i haven't been able to get clear answers. so sorry if this was already discussed a couple of times.
i own the indian variant (LE2121), even though i live in Israel (aliexpress is the only decent way to get your hands on oneplus devices in my country),
for obvious reasons in an ideal world i would want to install a global firmware on my device, so i can uninstall bloatware and avoid Inidian restrictions that aren't necessary in my country.
is that a possibility?
from what research i managed to do: i understand that i need a suitable version of MSMDownloadTool (which i couldn't find) and a firmware (which i saw is listed in the sticky threads).
should i download everything as if i own the global variant of the device? should i download the LE2121 version of the MSMTool and the global rom? do i need to root/unlock the bootloader for my device?
i also have tried to just download the newest global version and install it via Settings -> local install, but it just tells me "verification failed" and nothing else.
last thing: if it helps, my device currently has this firmware version: LE2121_11_F.20
would really appreciate any help i can get,
cheers.

I will try to fix you an MSM tool that will take you from Indian to Global 11.2.3.3, then you can update from there.... Give me a little while.

You can flash the global rom with unlocked bootloader and fastboot enchanched (fbe)
Or you Download load the global rom
And open it with 7z and edit a file in the zip with notepad++ and then flash it with a local update
Edit the payload_porperties.txt
The line oplus_update_eingine_verify_disable=0 to
oplus_update_eingine_verify_disable=1
Here you go, This should work. May have to play around with the check boxes and if a target button is available, select India......

got a question for you,
i tried using the tool you gave me (and other identical tools i found online before i posted this thread), and im stuck on this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
it shows both COM 8 & 9 because i tried two different usb slots with two different cables. i ended up using a type-c to type-c cable since it's the most reliable cable i have atm.
my phone is in EDL mode (as far as i can tell) and it shows up in device manager like so, after i installed Qualcomm drivers and restarted my PC:
i'm using Windows 11, i have tried using compatibility mode and\or "start as administrator", but it didn't help.
thanks a bunch!

I disabled the signature enforcement and it solved the issue, as you told!
The provided MSM tool worked,
Thank you both very very much!

system-wide, yes. everything works as expected and i don't get any weird errors, plus having the benefit of formatting my phone makes it feel smooth and "new" again, which is nice.
one of the main reasons i did this (aside from what i mentioned originally) is because i sometimes get stutters desynced audio when playing video (no matter the source). i can resolve this by closing all apps and re-opening youtube/whatever i was watching.
i hoped it'd be fixed with the firmware change but it wasn't. maybe it's a hardware issue or something

If I see any answers, will let you know. I don't know if the audio.img or whatever it is called is available to be flashed...
