Is it possible to put Samsung Smart Call on a Verizon branded S22? I hate Verizon Call Filter. I downloaded a smart call apk but it fails to install. Do I have to flash Samsung unlocked firmware to be able to accomplish this?
Thanks!

I am running unlocked firmware on the T-Mobile network, which I prefer over T-Mobile firmware for many reasons. The only feature I feel as though I'm missing from the T-Mobile firmware is RCS messaging. Does anyone have insight on how that could be activated on the unlocked firmware?
Thanks in advance!
You need to be on the T-Mobile CSC, basically no way to do it without being on T-Mobile firmware.
Flash the newest TMO CSC and CP it should be under cloud and accounts in settings 'multi line settings'

If you do that, won't it return the T-Mobile boot and disable smart call, effectively restoring T-Mobile firmware? I believe that's the case, and if so, not worth it IMHO.
Thank you, though

Just flash the G955U1UEU1AQG2 Firmware and keep the Tmobile modem. You then have an unbranded phone with RCS and smart call. I got to keep my video calling, though from what I read, your mileage may vary on video calling.
the thread I followed Here
Unless I'm reading you wrong and you're not using a Tmo S8+.
What do you gain by flashing back Tmobile cp/CSC?

I did exactly what others are suggesting a few weeks ago...flashed the U1 XAA firmware and just the TMB CP file. While most everything worked, RCS did not, and in fact I couldn't send/receive MMSs from my girlfriend who also has a TMB U model. I had to flash the TMB CSC to get it all working again, which yes means you are then stuck with the T-Mobile splash screen and you no longer have the native scam blocking, and at the same time the T-Mobile Name ID app for scam blocking doesn't work, That being said, you can still use dialer codes to get T-Mobile's scam blocking to work. It's not the native Samsung s**t, but it works.
To enable Scam ID or Scam Block and check their statuses:
#ONI# (#664#) – Enable Scam ID
#ONB# (#662#) – Enable Scam Block
#OFB# (#632#) – Disable Scam Block
#STS# (#787#) – Check Scam Block enabled status
Thanks for that! Yes I tried the above too. No RCS unless on T-Mobile firmware (flashing CSC counts as the same!). Unlocked/unbranded firmware isn't worth giving up for RCS and video calling imo!
The rcs messaging was working for me with Samsung messages app, but I recently got a android wear watch and it wanted me to use android messages (Google's messaging app NOT Samsung's) and rcs doesn't work? I guess that's just part of it?
I can not long see the other person has read the message, or when they are typing while I'm using Google Android message app.

Hello everyone,
Yes, I'm a noob here but online research, etc. tells me that XDA is the place for me. I am a IT tech, just not a programmer nor have I done a lot with flashing phones, etc.
based on some basic searching my issues seems to be common.
I am a T-Mobile user and I now have a new AT&T Branded Galaxy S9 SM-G960U. I paid a third party to provide me with a Samsung unlock code. I unlocked the phone last night, had T-Mobile update my account with my new Nano Sim, etc.
All is working except I can not enable WiFi Calling and of course there are some advanced text messaging features that I can not enable, i.e. sent receipts, etc. I tested the phone with a active AT&T sim and the features work fine.
Does anyone have a work around for getting WiFi calling and text features to work using the T-Mobile Sim?
Do I need to some how flash a T-Mobile ROM to the phone?
Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated
it will never work because is att brand. you needed to get international model.
I'm not so sure.......... I have the SM-960u1 and have flashed various AT&T FW to it at least 50 times and cannot get any IMS features to work. I get get the ATT bloatware, software,splash screen. But no VoLTE, WiFi Calling etc. I am tired of flashing. Back to Stock U1 for me.
AT&T is the same. They keep promising wifi calling for unlocked phones but I can't get it and neither can 2 others I know with unlocked phones.
This sounds normal. I have an AT&T branded Galaxy S6, which has wifi calling, but I'm using a MintMobile (T-Mobile) SIM. Wifi Calling is grayed out. There's probably some sort of check in the software that only enables the wifi calling if you are using an AT&T sim.
Yes, you have to flash the T-Mobile firmware with the latest modded Odin, or the unlocked U1 variant firmware (for which TMO's RCS messaging and video calling won't work-with U1 firmware, I mean). If you flash the TMO firmware, it's for all intents and purposes turning the phone into aTMO phone, with bootscreen, bloat and all.

You will need to flash to the U1 Firmware then Flash the T-Mobile firmware. AT&T's Wifi Calling is proprietary and thus their phones software won't work with other Carrier's Wifi Calling.
Hi all, I switched providers today from Verizon to AT&T and my S9 is working fine with voice, data and TXT however voice mails is messed up, I had to get AT&T Visual Voice Mail from APK mirror because my voice mail wasn't working and still not dialing from the dial pad when I press and hold 1 as in the AT&T native phones.
Anyways I would like to use WiFi calls and other native AT&T features, so is it possible to flash AT&T firmware on my Verizon S9 via Odin or so???
Can anyone please direct me to the process/firmware? I am also concerned about the firmware updates that I might not get from AT&T if my S9 remains on VZW firmware.
Thank you in advance!!
Flash this OTA https://firmware.science/download?url=52758/1488/SS-G960USQU3ARG7-to-U3BRH6-UP and you'll have the BYOD update. Another thing, wifi calling on AT&T will not work at all because your IMEI is not part of the whitelist in their system to use it. I think the same goes for VoLTE but I'm not sure.

Thank you for the feedback FatalONEM8.
After I manually flash, do you know if the next OTAs will come automatically or I will have to manually flash them forever?
Not having access to WiFi calling is a bummer but well, if everything else works I will have to leave with
By the way my current firmware is G960USQS3ARG8, I checked and the upgrades available are G960USQU3BRH6 and G960USQS3ARH7. The later seems to be an add on by the size of it, should I apply both?
Thanks again!!
So, I have an unlocked Note 10 plus, and my new Galaxy Watch, LTE. When I try to use Verizon number share with my watch, Verizon says that I need to enable VOLTE in order to use number share.
My phone has VOLTE enabled but VZW doesn't recognize it.
Tried a few things with Verizon Support and no joy. Can anyone help?
