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).

Hi Vinc1,

use the MENA Arabic version. I found it much better in terms of bloatwareZ
and its in English btw, its just designed for MiddleEast
however i am not sure what bands it won't support for Europe.
however there is also CENTRAL EUROPE version which i havent tried yet
You can choose to exclude parts before the flash.
I exclude all .ta files
Flashing a rom shouldn't lock your phone. But flashing a rom from a different region or CDA, xould cause wifi / radio conflicts.

if your bootloader is still LOCKED then kindly first downgrade to Android6.01 and EXTRACT TA.IMG using DIRTYCOW SCRIPT available on XDA
no yasu my boot loader is not locked im refering to the networks on xperifirm via the downloads... please read what im asking based on . E.g my phone is unlocked NETWORK WISE... the rom is normally use is Generic UK but its not on the latest update... but there is a Vodafone ( network provider ) in the Uk which has this rom up to date... e.g no different network bands.. but i'm assuming vodafone bloatware... also im asking based on it being a vodafone rom would it limit other network sims from working.
cheers

Good day dear.
thank you for explaining again. yes I got confused with the term UNLOCKED with bootloader only.
1. since your device is not SIMLOCKED you can flash any other region as long as you stay with-in your variant. the VODAFONE may have presintalled bloatware in this case try flashing central europe? (if its latest).
2. apart from anything else, consider downgrading to android6 or 5.1.1 for once, in order to EXTRACT TA.IMG

can OTA Oreo update be transferred from 1 SIM card to another

I have purchased my Honor Pro 8 in India while traveling here. It is an unlocked phone with an Indian monthly cash card from Vodaphone.
There is an OTA Orep update available here in India now for this Indian SIM card, BUT... if I would install the Oreo update here in Indian on the Indian SIM, will it continue to work in my native SIM card I use regularly in Sweden; also a monthly cash card, unlocked
I worry that it could disable or BRICK my phone making it useless.
Is the Oreo update Indian specific for Indian SIMs, or can it work when I return home and put in my Swedish SIM.
...AND...if not..when is the projected roll out for that Oreo update for Sweden ?
Thanks for your help

Hi there,
I am no expert by any means. But I will try to answer.
Your question seems to have a flaw in itself. You bought the H8Pro in India which means the device is tuned for Indian networks, no doubt. Will it work in Sweden? It must work, because it seems to support all global network bands.
Regarding Oreo update, if you thought that Nougat would work in Sweden, why not Oreo? And Oreo is not tied to any sim. It is specific to the device and not the networks. So you can go ahead and update to Oreo and enjoy its features. Bests.

Thanks for your reply...so you are saying it SHOULD work regardless of whatever SIM card is used; even if it will be from another country soon...I just don't want to update it here only to find out that for some reason it won't work in Sweden, and in fact, could shut my phone down....you're absolutely sure about this ??
The only reason your phone wouldn't work at home is if the phone isn't compatible with the network bands in Sweden. Your phone cannot be bricked or disabled by the software. Hell, I am running Chinese firmware on my phone and I live in Canada. This phone isn't even sold here!

How to enable VoLTE?

Hello guys,
I have been searching about enabling VoLTE for 2 weeks. Followed several guides on this page, but no luck. My phone now has Central Europe firmware from Xperifirm. Tried German, Indian fws with Xperia XZ2 OEM files, in neither situation I was not able to activate "enable volte" switch in hidden settings menu.
I live in Turkey, my operator supports VoLTE. I activated my sim card's VoLTE with different phone. (If I put my sim card to another phone, Volte works...) I need some help with enabling VoLTE on my XZ2 Compact
Thanks a lot
Hello,
Can you share OEM*.sin files whatever you have downloaded?
Because I tried a number of times but Xperifirm got stuck

Vowifi and volte on orange FR network

Hi and happy new year,
I manage to get volte and vowifi working on orange FR on my XZ1 compact by flashing oem.sin from XZ1 orange firmware. But the support had to manually activate it for my line.
The problem is that after few days my phone refuse to use volte or vowifi. I contacted the support again, they reactivated manually the service and it has been working for some days and stopped again...
I think they are restricting the service per device so that it's working for the XZ1 and not for the XZ1 compact. I don't know how my phone is identifying itself on the network but would it be possible to pass as an XZ1 instead of an XZ1 compact ? And if possible how ?
Thanks...

I had play about yesterday trying to get volte working. I'm on O2 and still on Oreo and my Current Modem Config in service menu/software info up until yesterday was using amss_fsg_lilac_tar.mbn. I tried the method of flashing an oem.sin as suggested from another region but still couldn't get it work.
I couldn't find an O2 branded Oreo fw so I download an O2 Pie rom from Xperifirm and tried the oem.sin from that, which worked for all of 5 mins before I had to start over because of "phone not responding" message popping up as soon as I'd dismissed it.
Long story short after some testing, I replaced the config.prop as is and modified the cust.prop in oem/system-properties and and replaced the modem.conf in oem/modem-config now volte works, and shows it is now using amss_fsg_lilac_telefonica_uk_ims_tar.mbn in Current Modem Config. My Customization Version and Active Customization has also changed from 1311-0104_R22B to 1310-7514_R2C.
EDIT:
Not sure about vowifi as there is no indication if it's being used when wifi is active.

FAQ:
Q: How to know if VoWiFi is working ?
A: Put phone in airplane mode and reactivate WiFi only. If you are able to make a call then VoWiFi is working.

I tried this and it worked. In normal mode the icon to indicate vowifi comes up after 30 seconds or so.
I've also added the following to my build.prop.
Code:
#voLTE_Options
persist.dbg.ims_volte_enable=1
persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr=1
persist.dbg.vt_avail_ovr=1
persist.data.iwlan.enable=true
persist.dbg.wfc_avail_ovr=1
persist.radio.rat_on=combine
persist.radio.data_ltd_sys_ind=1
persist.radio.data_con_rprt=1
persist.radio.calls.on.ims=1
After flashing oem.sin from orange XZ1 firmware my modem config is
amss_fsg_lilac_france_volte_vowifi_tar.mbn
And my customization version went from 1310-8853_47.2.A.11.228_R4C to 1310-4288_47.2.A.11.228_R11C.
I also have the system menu to turn on vowifi ...
All of this looks OK and was perfectly working after they manually activate the service.
The problem is that only the XZ1 is supported by Orange and not the XZ1 compact...
So the service stopped working after a few days... And I'm stuck there...
Try using the amss_fsg_lilac_ee_ims_tar.mbn config file instead. Isn't that who Orange operates on?

I misspelled the modem config I curently use, it's amss_fsg_lilac_orange_france_volte_vowifi_tar.mbn so I think I'm good with that...
They probably activate/deactivate automatically the service by looking at IMEI/ESN number and extracting the phone model...

I'd try an oem.sin from the same device and change the modem.config to either orange_spain_ims or orange_romania_ims to see if that helps. Google "ims volte" to see why.
Failing that, not sure what else to suggest. If they are actively blocking based on imei, I'd look to change carrier.

Question in xperia 10 mark III,which rom has working volte?

XQ-BT52_Customized HK_62.0.A.3.56
XQ-BT52_Customized SEA_62.0.A.3.56
XQ-BT52_Vodafone LC Not Net Locked_62.0.A.3.70
These rom above, I don't find volte option. My phone is development board
So my sim card can't be used in China.
Hope for help.
Thanks!
With XQ-BT52_Customized EEA_62.0.A.3.70 both VoLTE and VoWIFI are working with my provider here in Germany.
If you should want to use a ROM from another region, you will probably need to modify some config files to enable VoLTE for your own provider. There are some instructions out here...

Hi
Have you updated to 62.0.A.3.131? I have tried HK, SEA and EEA of 62.0.A.3.131 and I don't get the VoLTE toggle switch on any of them.
Thanks
I have now tried firmware version 62.0.A.3.131 of the following variants on my Sony Xperia 10 III XQ-BT52 and not got IMS to register or the VoLTE option to show on 2 different operators. Makes me think Sony must have locked it out somewhere else, especially seeing as Vodafone UK sell the 10 III, offer VoLTE and provide instructions showing how to turn it on.

Customized HK
Customized SEA
Customized UK
