Hi there.
I don't know how many of you purchased this wonderful and budget device in Europe but for me in Hungary B7 and B20 bands are quite frequently used for 4G network connection but the phone itself doesn't support them. Thanks to this I've had horrible experiences like refreshing a page 20 times to reach it. I've found a solution and attached the video here.
After setting these I've not encountered any more "connection timed out", "error connecting to network" and such general issues.
P.S: This of course won't add these bands to your phone but will try to use all available network singnals to reach your destined network addresses.
In some cases you can further tweak your connection to fill your needs, avoid page loading problems and such annoyances/signal loss.
If you dial the "number"
Code:
*#*#4636#*#*
and call it, you'll be redirected to system information and network connection settings. I'll look like this:
{
"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"
}
Here if you live outside China you should avoid any option that has TD-SCDMA in it for it's a China exclusive protocol that was developed for densely populated areas and is only supported in that country. You may go ahead and test all these options to find the one that works best for you. For me it was LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto. The default was WCDMA only.
Step by step guide:
Go to settings app
Tap dual sim & cellular network
Choose your desired sim
Here tap access point name
Under global label choose your provider and tap the small (i) on the right
Scroll down to the bottom and set apn protocol and apn roaming protocol to IpV4/IpV6
Now tap Bearer and check each one except for unknown
On the top right tap Save
That's it. Now your network should seek all kinds ot connection to provide you access to the Internet.
Edit.: This seem not to work any longer from update number 7 and above for Realme disabled thus function. Thanks. However if you download 4G Only Network Mode then the app opens the same settings for you.
Now if you want to go bit deeper:
Copy the provided code (*#*#4636#*#*)
Now go to dialer app ( The code should be copied in there and all you have to do is to tap on the code)
It should open a tab that has "Testing" written on the left - top side on it.
Tap phone information
Now you see "Set preferred network type"
Choose the one that fits your country / isp preferences the most
Rise and repeat till you find your ideal properties
Thanks greenys', Is very good the video but still if you can write the steps in text it will be better.
About the network bands, I saw in Kimovil that the 4G-LTE Network bands used here in Mexico are the B2, B4 and B5. I bought the Realme Q still with the lack of the B2 band, I think the B4 and B5 will be suficient to me since these are the bands that the bigger companys use here.
Anyone think if will be possible someday to activate that lacking network bands in this Phone?

Sure will edit my post to write down step by step. I think there is a chance that we'll be able to activate missing bands. The chipset SD712 supports them. It depends on the antenna. We'll see in December what can we do about it after source code release and bootloader unlock.
i cant open test mode
i put *#*#4636#*#* in dial and when test mode should be openned, its not

Sometimes the phone won't open it. I don't know why. Keep copying the code and going to the dial menu. Eventually it should be copied in there and all you have to do is click on it. You could try manually typing in the code and then tapping on it.
Edit.: Tweaking does not work starting 07 update and above so don't try this too much.

there's a thread here in xda to modified SD modem baseband, it required baseband calc + qxdm/qpst software. you can activate any baseband you like. search for "change modem baseband"

I've tried a shltload of those tweaks, tools, modem.img edit, change etc. Bands doesn't work that way. Certain bands are hardware limited. These tweaks only allow the usage of certain bands that are unused and hidden by default yet still supported by the baseband module and antenna. In the case of Realme Q the Europe bands are not supported. If anyone succeeds and test their device with the Russian field test apk and b3/7 are successful activated then please share here.

Well if Realme Q use different antenna then any effort won't do any good.. But I think its bull**** about antenna, its all in the software because realme 5Q which have same SD which embedded with a same modem should have same spec beside software side (modem file).
BTW how did u edit the modem.img file? the files contain in it is unreadable, yes? If you just replace the files from realme pro modem file, it won't work, I've tried that with xiaomi phone.
Why not try save the baseband modem from realme 5 pro global taken from QXDM/QPST, and export it to realme Q?

Here's a link, might be solution for your problem https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unlock-aditional-bands-qualcomm-t2877031
Shorcut would be to try take an nv dump from realme 5 pro global and export it to your phone..
Or maybe just flash modem file from realms 5 pro then compare the build.prop and apns.XML file.. or other XML and prop file .. worth to try, yes?

Well, I talked with a ROM developer and compiler and I got this information from him (confirming my suspicion) that RMQ probably uses different antenna for some reason. I tried editing bands with QXDM/QSPT and while I successfully unlocked some B7 and B20 couldn't be unlocked despite all my various efforts and methods in the windows apps, some even resulting bootloop. However I didn't know that replacing modem.img isn't supposed to work. Some tried flashing complete rm3p rom package with clean flashing in twrp and the rom booted. That's why I thought rm3p global modem.img should work, thought it didn't.

Mi Band 2 Firmware Editor
Code:
Your warranty is now probably void.
I am not responsible for any bricked devices, do this at your own risk!
The Mi Band 2 is a really popular, inexpensive and good fitness tracker from xiaomi. Their App is great, but with third party apps you get a lot more access and control over your Mi Band 2.
Things like setting custom notification patterns was a really nice thing for me. Being able to select the vibration pattern or which icon to show when someone special writes to you is something very powerful in my opinion.
But there is one thing that these apps cant do: Change out the icons for something else.
Atleast half of the icons on the normal Mi Band 2 are rather unknown in the western world, and mainly used in asia. I thought that this is a lot of wasted space.
After months of digging through all the firmware versions, i am happy to present to you: The Mi Band 2 Firmware Editor!
Simply load in the correct firmware file for you Mi Band, select the icons you'd like to edit, save your changes and flash your Mi Band 2!
Features
Edit (nearly) all icons from every Mi Band Hardware and Firmware Version!
Edit the big numbers which show you the time
Edit the small text showing the Date (pro_1.0.1.54 only right now)
To Do
Add support for editing date font
Add support to edit the font files
Search for more icons in the firmware files
Edit the way the date is represented (allowing for better localization)
Auto Version Detect
Downloads
Releases
Source Code
Instructions
1. Check your Mi Band Hardware Revision
This might be a little tricky. One way is with the App "Mi Band Masters".
After you authorized your Mi Band, you can find your hardware version under the tab "Statistics". This Image is from the Gadgetbridge Wiki:
Now you have to look which firmware file is needed for your hardware version. If you Mi Band doesnt has a pulse sensor, its the hrx variant.
{
"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"
}
2. Getting the desired firmware file for your Mi Band.
Now that you know which Mi Band Firmware file you need. When you scroll down the Gadgetbridge Wiki for the Mi Band 2,
you can find the lists for which Mi Fit App version had which firmware versions. NOTE: This tool only supports 1.0.1.x Version files, everything older doesnt make sense to search all the icons for.
You search the group with your Mi Band Firmware name, and look out the needed Mi Fit Version.
Now you can search the needed version APK on sites like APKMirror. Download the APK from there and open it with a ZIP-programm like Winrar.
The needed .fw-file will be in the folder assets. Extract that file.
3. Editing your firmware
Now you are finally ready to edit the firmware! Open the Mi Band 2 Firmware Editor, press the button "Load Firmware" and select your firmware file.
Then you select the appropriate firmware version from the drop down list. And you can now select the icons or the numbers through the dropdown list!
After you are finished with the current icon, press the button "Save changes". After you are finished with editing your firmware, press the button "Save edited firmware". Select a location to save it.
4. Flashing your new edited firmware
You are nearly done! All you have to do now, is to copy the edited firmware file onto your phone (f.ex. with a usb cable or via bluetooth), and open up the "Mi Band Master" App
(Though you can use nearly all third party apps, most of them support flashing from a file), and after syncing with Mi Fit, you have to open up the settings.
There you enter "Wristband" and press on "Firmware". Here you can select "Firmware Update from file" and select the edited firmware. Now your Mi Band will receive the new firmware and restart afterwards.
And you can use your edited firmware!
Troubleshoot
Sometimes it doesnt really refresh the drawing grid, so you might press the "redraw eidtor" button in this case.
This program is working properly, and if correctly used (i.e. using the correct firmware settings), you shouldnt be at risk of bricking your device, though this tool really isnt the best or most beautiful. If someone wants to improve it, or completely do it by themself on a different plattform, you happily can use the data (like positions, etc.) i collected. This is rather a usable Proof-of-concept.
I would be pleased to get feedback and error reports, and you for sure can submit changes to the program through github.
Credit:
Thanks to SirStefan for the documentation of the font data for the small text used for the date. Post
The icon positions and big number positions are found by me.
Screenshot:

Supported Icons for editing
This is an Image of the spreadsheet i use for marking supported icons in the specific firmware version.
Green: supported
Orange: not supported
Gray: completely not supported (animated or never found)
Changelog
I guess it would be better to keep track of the changelog here:
Version 0.2.0
Code:
[LIST][*]Added different sized Brush options (rectangular Brush)
[*]Changed Brush behaviour to be fixed instead of just flipping every pixel it crosses
[*]Added border around pixels that can be affected by the brush when its hovering over them[/LIST]
Version 0.2.1 CRITICAL
Code:
[LIST][*]CRITICAL: Fixed potential overwriting of other firmware data when saving something from the editor!!!
[*]Fixed redrawing and scanning of the editor when the firmware gets loaded the first time[/LIST]
Version 0.3.0
Code:
[LIST]
[*]Added support for every firmware and hardware version. Some icons aren't supported by every hardware version, so they arent available to edit
[/LIST]
This is a Good Work !!!
Really nice work
This is a pretty nice project, how can u extract the firmware of the device ? i would like to see the code to make it compatible with other apps
This is amazing I hope someone does an application for doing this from the phone, it would be amazing

What do you mean with making it compatible with other Apps?
You can "extract" the firmware of the mi band's (and pretty much any other xiaomi tracker) by downloading the MiFit apk from apk mirror sites, opening that f.ex. with winrar and opening the "assets" folder. the mi band 2's firmware is named "Mili_pro.fw".
This program currently only supports the firmware version "1.0.1.54", so please dont use any other
Hi is there any different version which is compatible with Mi band HRX edition. firmware version is 1.0.1.52 and name is Mili_pro_i.fw
I have tried above version but it is not working properly. It shows random images.
thanks in advance.
What kind of licence has this software? I'm updating it to work with firmware v1.0.1.69. I'm doing just the icons. I can post it here once is finished if the owner of the original program agrees.
prntscr com/ihg5gi (remove spaces)
UPDATE:
Here is that version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jdzC6VngKKofI5vnG8-qKSUAwfc3OBFE/view?usp=sharing
This is a really nice project. Looking forward to using it.
I've updated the program to use it on .69 Firmware. I only supported the icon changes. I'll be uploading it a few days if the owner doesn't disagree.

I am probably just wondering - how am I able to extract the firmware to use it via this program? :/
Hi!
Is there a way that you can make the app work on a latest firmware 1.0.1.81??
If you have source of your program upload it on GitHub. Thanks
Can you update for 81?
This is only meant for the Indian V30 H930DS devices and specific to Reliance Jio and Airtel Networks.
ROOT is necessary for this. And I have tried it only on the stock rom.
Thanks to @ChazzMatt, @seadersn, @nkar for their posts which helped me figure out this.
So I was trying to figure out how to get vowifi using Seadersn's method found that we have a path called /OP/OPEN_ESA_DS/config which has most of the config files. So i enabled VoWifi from the vo_config.xml. This allows you to have vowifi in the *#*#4636#*#* menu. But the reason we need a new update is because the network provider has to give some info of the settings they use (like apn and etc.) so the manufacturer adds them in. I will detail it below, step by step.
I am not responsible if you brick your device so please take a backup of your /OP as mentioned in Seadersn's link.
Tip: Use quickedit text editor pro if you can get the apk because it has search function which is helpful.
Note:
1. I made changes only to my specific network provider which is reliance jio.
2. Have a look inside the v30 file and the v40 files and look for your specific network and see what is new in the v40 file for your network.
3. Don't copy and replace the V40 files to the v30. Open the files mentioned and copy your relevant MCC/MNC data and append it to the v30 root /OP/OPEN_ESA_DS/config/xxx.xml file.
4. I have attached the V40 OP zip file which can be found below in this thread.
Things you need to know initially:
You have to know the mnc and mcc of your network provider. You can get this from your apn settings in your mobile networks. There is a setting for mnc and mcc.
If you are not sure, you can google and see for "reliance jio mcc and mnc" and you will get an image like this.
If you see, I use MCC:405 and MNC:861 which is specific to Karnataka. And i also use 862 and 869 when i travel.
There are 4 main files that have the network configuration for all the service providers in india. All these files have every MNC and MCC we use in india. So you need to make changes to the ones you are in and whichever you travel to.
vo_config.xml - This is to enable VoWiFi for that MCC/MNC
ims_conf.xml - Enabling VoWiFi settings specific like roaming, emergency, etc.
ike_conf.xml - Has specific operator settings to make VoWiFi actually work.
mapcon_conf. xml - Again, Has specific operator settings to make VoWiFi actually work.
rcs.xml
Steps:
1. Open OP/OPEN_ESA_DS/config/vo_config.xml and goto your network and enable as mentioned below. Append what is not in your v30 device. I have added epdg_enable="1" which i found actually working. So try that also.
<info mcc="405" mnc="861"><!-- RJIL IN -->
<prop
support_volte="1"
support_vilte="1"
support_vowifi="1"
support_viwifi="1"
epdg_enable="1"
support_vt="1"
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Open the ims_conf.xml in the V40 and search for your mnc. It will take you to your network because there is a huge list. In the V30 file, you will only find the <volte...> settings.
But in the V40 file you will find <vowifi...> settings also after the volte settings for your specific network.
Copy the vowifi settings from the V40 file and append it to the V30 file.
3. Same as the above, you need to goto ike_conf.xml and search for your mnc. Make sure your corresponding mcc is also there.
Append the data from the V40 file to your V30 root file.
4. Same as the above, you need to goto mapcon_conf.xml and search for your mnc. Make sure your corresponding mcc is also there.
Append the data from the V40 file to your V30 root file.
5. Also make change to the rcs.xml and enable RCS.
Now Reboot your phone for the settings to take place.
Last Step:
Go into *#546368#*930#>SVC Menu>VoWifi>WiFi calling toggle:1.
Wait for 2 mins and it should show up.
You will not have the vowifi button in network settings. If you want the vowifi button, you need to go the LG engineering menu *#546368#*930# and enable the UX. I don't suggest this because i did some wrong settings and had to start from scratch.
You will see the dialer showing the wifi symbol as below.

Few Pains: Sometimes call to the same network (reliance jio) doesn't go but incoming calls and calls to other networks go fine. I am trying to figure out why. Sometimes after 3-5 days it worked and again went off. But incoming from any number and outgoing to non-jio numbers works well.

Are you making change for YOUR related mcc and mnc? Can you attach the config files and share here. I'll check and let you know. Also tell me what network you have and the mcc and mnc that you have in the APN settings.

The ike_conf or mapcon_conf have 2-3 entries. You have copied only one. Check on that.

As you said i missed an entry in mapcon and added the same. Still no vowifi. I have once again attached corrected xml files for your reference. Sorry to keep on bothering you.

Try these two. One at a time.
1. In carrier_code.xml, look for your mcc/mnc and add like I added below. Only add the extra mvno things.
<profile carrier="RJIL" suffix="IND" carrier_code_fast="" carrier_code_late="RJIL" carrier_code_sub="" country="IN" iccid="" mcc="405" mnc="861" mvno_type="spn" mvno_match_data="Jio 4G" />
Reboot.
2. Goto settings--> network--> mobile networks--> name of apns --> three dots --> add apn
Name: IMS
APN: ims
APN type: ims
Protocol: IPv4
roaming protocol: IPv4
three dots --> save
Thanks a lot for this! It's working great with the top symbol and everything.

I had to do one more step.
Go into *#546368#*930#>VoWifi>WiFi calling toggle:1. This worked immediately and the settings stays permanently even after a reboot. Incase you want to disable VoWifi then do it the same way.
Whatever you set under UX options resets after a reboot so that's not very helpful.

I'm guessing the XML just enables the support but the actual enable switch is under the secret setting.

Guess its not working for me or something is wrong with my settings. I tried editing all 4 xml files and also rcs xml file. Also enabled vowifi in secret settings to true.... Not worked. Tried adding mvno code to carrier config and restarted no use. Also tried adding IMS apn, but apn is not getting added when i click save. I even tried restoring op config from twrp and tried everything once again. Not worked.

You can find out your current customization by dialling *#*#SERVICE#*#* -> Service info -> Software Info -> Customization Version. This guide explains how to flash another official Sony firmware of different customization onto your Xperia 1 II XQ-AT51. You do NOT need to unlock your bootloader to do this.
Download and install FlashTool from http://www.flashtool.net
On Windows you will then need to install the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers.
On Linux you do not need to install drivers, but you do need to set some udev rules.
On Windows you will first need to reboot Windows with driver signature enforcement disabled to do this. Then install the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers from the installed C:\FlashTool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Open Flashtool and let the device database sync
This may fail on Windows if you have Windows Defender Antivirus Real-time protection running -- disable Windows Defender Antivirus Real-time protection in Windows settings:
Click on the XperiFirm icon to get a list of official Sony firmwares:
Select the XQ-AT51 on the left, and the select the particular Customization you would like. Then click on the box below "Available Firmware" to start downloading:
Once the Firmware has downloaded, close XperiFirm and then let FlashTool do some processing on the downloaded firmware to create a .ftf file of the firmware in your C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\firmwares folder.
This step is no longer needed as the FlashTool database has now been updated. This step is temporary and will not be required once the FlashTool devices database has been updated for the XQ-AT51.
Download the .fsc file and .properties file and unzip them into a new folder in C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\mydevices\XQ_AT51 . Rename the .fsc file to "58.0.fsc" to use it with more firmware versions. Then in FlashTool's menu choose Devices->Manage->Import -- this will give an error, but ignore.
Now click on the Flash button and choose Flashmode.
Set up the Firmware Selector window as follows - this setup will erase all data on your phone. Then click Flash:
When prompted, power off your phone and then hold down the volume down key on your phone and connect a USB cable from the phone to your computer (do NOT use the UCB24 USB C - USB C cable that comes with the phone -- the UCB24 is for charging only and does not work -- you need to use a quality USB C - USB A cable or try the UCB32 instead). Keep the volume down key held until the notification light turns green. The flashing process will now be prepared.
When you get a prompt saying "A FSC script is found. Do you want to use it?" choose yes. An error of "those data are not in the fsc script: persist, reset-non-secure-adb" is entirely normal, so choose Yes, and let the flashing commence. If you get a prompt asking you to select a partition, select the top option for 128GB storage and the bottom for 256GB storage -- if unsure click cancel. If you get "ERROR:null" then repair your phone with Xperia Companion first.
Flashing will be complete when you see "Sync status : OKAY".
If you are worried as to whether the flashing worked or not, you can always then do a software repair using the Xperia Companion software. Please check your storage after flashing - some users are reporting that they only are seeing 128 GB of storage instead of 256 GB - please repair with Xperia Companion if you see this and report in the comments below.
I bought the phone from O2UK with the O2 firmware and managed to successfully flash it to the 1321-7192 Customized UK firmware with FlashTool. I now have VoLTE and WiFi-Calling on Vodafone UK .
FlashTool settings:
Here is the before and after Software Info in the *#*#SERVICE#*#* menu:
Here is the before and after in the *#*#4636#*#* Phone Information menu:
EDIT: I turned off and on again the WiFi Calling setting in My Vodafone and now Wi-Fi calling is also provisioned!:
UPDATE: After the 58.0.A.3.88 update on Vodafone with Customized UK, I no longer see Wi-Fi calling as being provisioned, nor do I get the Wi-Fi Calling menu option in network settings. However, Wi-Fi calling is actually still working and still turns on automatically when I get low cellular network strength.

Does this unlock the ability to have dual sim? I know you would still need a different sim tray. but if the phone will support dual sim after flashing that would make a huge difference for me.

I have no idea, On my OnePlus 7 Pro the only difference was the software and the sim tray, converted it to in global software and replaced the sim tray and dual sim worked.
Hoping its the same for this phone too.
I've managed to do this, but seems like I am only seeing 128GB of storage now? Is that normal, I didn't check before.

No, that is not normal:
You should only have 128GB on the Japanese models. Did you flash a Japanese firmware?

Customized UK 58.0.A.3.31, and used your files provided above.
---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------
Works fine now after running Software repair on Xperia Companion. Stayed on the generic firmware as well.
I've gone to try this and Flashtool can't see any downloaded firmwares. In your screenshot the left panel has the model tree, mine is blank. The location is correct as I can see the files there in Explorer. Same both my computer's. Odd.

Done.
I have also made a pull request in the FlashTool devices db so that we won't have to do the .fsc and .properties bit in the future.
I have two quick (hopefully related) questions.
1. Has anyone tried to flash XQ-AT51 firmware on XQ-AT52? Obviously, I know Dual SIM may be impacted, but does it work? Any other issues?
2. Is there a CSC version of XQ-AT51 software for USA yet? I couldn't find it on XperiFirm.
Thank you so much!

I would like to know this too, we might have an answer soon enough since it looks like some people have ordered the 1 ii from wandamobile which basically ships the HK dual sim version.
I'm getting an issue when I'm flashing either the Customized UK rom or the O2 one where it gets stuck installing dsp.000, have you seen this before?
If I exclude dsp.sin from the flash it completes fine but the screen resolution is really basic so I'm assuming its the display drivers. Running a repair from the Sony Companion after the flash fails.
Stuck! Can anyone help? TIA

Agreed 100%. I would like to flash the USA firmware from the XQ-AT51 on my XQ-AT52, but (a) I don't know if it's advisable to do that, and would like to hear from someone who has; and (b) it doesn't appear that there is USA firmware yet for the XQ-AT51!
Hope we get our answer soon.
Apologies if its a noob question but if I flash different region software, will I loose DRM keys?
No
Ok managed to fix my issue, In the end I swapped the cable I was using which didn't occur to me as parts of the flash worked so assumed connectivity was ok.
I originally used the USB C - USB C cable that came with the phone. Swapped that to a USB C - USB A cable and the flash completed successfully!
Massive sense of relief after many hours of messing around with it! Hopefully this might help someone in the future
Update (9 Oct 2022):
Upload module here.
Update (7 Apr 2021):
If you are looking for the manual way to add 5G support besides the magisk module way or the module does not work for you. Please refer to #54 for the detailed steps. Thanks again to @Kars88.
Update (2 Mar 2021):
In reply #45, @Kars88 discovered the magisk module to enable 5G and VoLTE/VoWIFI. Thanks to @Kars88 and the module owner ender-zhao.
Update UK VoLTE file - https://github.com/ender-zhao/Pixel...load/3.82e/Pixel5_NR_magisk_module_V3.82e.zip
Module for China users - https://github.com/ender-zhao/Pixel...load/3.82e/Pixel5_NR_magisk_module_V3.82e.zip
Module to enable VoLTE/VoWIFI switches only - https://github.com/ender-zhao/Pixel...Pixel5_VoWIFI.VoLTE_magisk_module_V1-MINI.zip
@Kars88 's KPN module is in reply #45.
Original post:
Thanks to @Lemon200, I enabled 5G on my 4a 5G with the direction - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-to-your-pixel-5-solved.4187025/post-83964575.
VoLTE steps:
1. Install attached Volte_switchonly.zip in magisk. This module is only to enable VoLTE and VoWIFI switches in system and reboot.2. I find my carrier's mbn file in Oneplus Nord rom (attached, you have to find yours). Use EfsTools to extract files by typing
EfsTools.exe extractMbn -i mcfg_sw.mbn -p mcfg
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The files we need are located in mcfg\nv\item_files\ims directory. There is a suffix in each file name... remove them (my case is __E1FF_F).3. Reconnect QPST EFS Explorer, backup all files under nv\item_files\ims. Then replace all files in nv\item_files\ims with the files from mbn. And reboot phone. After reboot, check IMS status by dialing *#*#4636#*#*, phone info, 3-dot, IMS service status.
IMO, it should work with Pixel5 as they are using the same SOC.
There should be a way to replace mbn files to enable both 5G and VoLTE. But I failed to replace mbn files with magisk module... bootloop... Maybe I replace the wrong files. Hope someone can find a more perfect way.

Thank you @laughterwym. It's nice to be able to fix Google's shortcomings myself with the aid of other knowledgeable members of this community. Hopefully Google will get off their lazy asses and make this 5G and volte hassle unnecessary in the future.
Where can I find the mentioned path

Would you please explain more about the 3rd step
Thanks

Not in root explorer, you have to use QPST. There is a tool called EFS Explorer after you installed QPST which is used to modify EFS partition. More details: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/network-signal-guru.4005511/post-83499679

Maybe you have to find your carrier's nbm file in attached Oneplus Nord modem files (or other 765g platform). I saw there are lots of differeces from my old Pixel3 nbm file.
Is there any chance to force activation Wi-Fi Calling? I am living in Poland and using T-Mobile, which is not supported by Google (also Google Store is not available in Poland).
I would like to buy pixel 4a 5G, however VoWiFi is necessary for me due to coverage issues.

You can download the full fw from phone vendor's website. Extract the radio image then... mbn for redmi k30 5g is attached.

You just need to replace the files in nv/item_files/ims with the suitable ims files for your country

After some more research and trial & error, I can now have access to volte on my phone, but thanks for offering help.
The only thing is, I can only get ims registered and volte available by setting the preferred network type (on the page *#*#4636#*#*) to NR/LTE, while the default value NR/LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA does not work. I wonder if this may cause any problem

I lost VoLTE today, and because I have set the network type to NR/LTE only, I missed some phone calls without any warning. Then I checked the folder nv/item_files_ims and found there are some new files generated.
Run through the guide to enable VoLTE again, I will see how it goes in the next few days

This Is Why In Japan A Phone’s Camera Shutter Sound Cannot Be Muted
You know that annoying “passht” camera shutter sound your phone makes whenever you take a picture? Well, in Japan, you can’t mute it, not even if you switch to mute mode! Here’s why.
Back in early 2000, when Kyocera VP-210 was launched, Japan became the first country to sell camera equipped phones. These phones also had the ability to send photos via email (pretty astonishing for 2000, isn’t it?). When users started to get used to them and learned how to attach pictures to an email, a big problem started to emerge: as any citizen of a civilized society would do, people started using their camera to take up-skirt photos of women, especially in crowded places like trains!
By 2001, this was already a matter of online discussion and, because no legal provision has been taken by the government, wireless carriers took it upon themselves. In order to prevent secret filming and ensure privacy, carriers made it a requirement that all phones sold in Japan must be customized for the market so that all built-in cameras cannot be muted.
Phone producers and Japanese wireless carriers have cooperated ever since so that all phones make a distinct sound whenever you use the camera.

You can use my Magisk module.
Basically you only need to "setprop audio.camerasound.force false" and overlay to disable force sound.

while I'm not Japanese, I do find these articles somewhat annoying as they sort of paint a negative image of Japanese people in general. yeah, of course there are perverts in Japan that do this, but as many as there are Japanese perverts, there are that many if not more in other countries as well.
Do you know if this can be done to enable the mmWave on GLU0G European model?
Other question: updating firmware will not overwrite that memory block, right?

Idont think so ,These 2 versions should be different hardware scales
this partition will not flash with update package
it only record your mac addr bt addr and etc
so be careful
Yeah. It's a first world problem. When I try to take a picture of my kids while they're asleep the shutter awakens them. There are several camera apps in the store (s) that don't make the shutter sound if you're interested.
I'm thankful for the sound tbh. People at times try to record my kids on the trains( Japanese with natural blonde hair) usually I just tell them to stop and they do.
My kids aren't a tourist attraction for your amusement...

I tried this method on my 6 pro and it's stuck in a bootloop! can anyone help me?
I tried to reinstall the stock rom again but fastboot is as far as I can get. I can't boot into fastbootd to complete the flashing process.
I still have the original devinfo.img and I don't know how to restore it using fastboot. I tried fastboot flash devinfo devinfo.img but I get file size error.
please help
unbricked my phone.
you should have added "bs=8192 count=1" to your dd command.
now because of your half baked guideeven though I unbricked, wifi isn't working.

Try the Official Google Android Flash Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own). You may have to choose the option to Force Flash All Partitions, which will also wipe your phone.

I would pursue the warranty possibility ASAP, if you can. Then, if they let you RMA it, use the flash tool once more, but this time check the box for both Wipe and for Re-lock the Bootloader.
I apologize for the bad news.

Unfortunately I can't send it back even if they agree, custom fees are insane here.
Do you own a pixel 6 pro? If so, can you please send me a backup of your devinfo partition?

Right, I saw your post in the other thread. Like I said, you should stick to a single thread - now you've got three threads going about the subject.
No, I don't own a Pixel 6 Pro, my wife and I traded ours in, which Google received today.

This partition is record of hardware information
So I think you did something wrong while modifying this partition
You can post the information about the failure when you flash the system partition
To facilitate better analysis of the reasons
In addition, if you stay on the google logo interface all the time,
you can check whether the computer system device currently has an adb or fastboot connection to confirm where the device boot stays.

[SOLVED] Bricked my Pixel 6 Pro
Hello, Today I messed up, I tried to change my Pixel 6 Pro's model from US version to global, so I edit the devinfo.img and pushed it successfully using adb, the same steps shared in some articles on xda. Now it won't boot again, it's stuck on...
