[Guide] Enabling VoLTE/VoWiFi (deprecated) - ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion

Deprecated - please see my other guide for a better method: Enabling VoLTE/VoWiFi v2
Preface
Thanks to some help from this amazing community I have found the steps required to enable VoLTE and/or VoWiFi. For me both work, but others have reported differently - but the most likely outcome is that you will only have VoLTE working; you may have to do some experimentation to get both.
Prerequsities
* You must have root. There are several threads on how to do that, so look those up if you need help.
Downloads
* QPST
* Qualcomm USB drivers
* AsusVoLTE app
* MBNs (optional)
Step 1
First of all you will need to install both QPST and the Qualcomm USB drivers from the links above. It's important that you install exactly those ones, or it may not work. Once you've done that, launch PDC.exe in the bin folder of the QPST install (usually C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\PDC.exe).
Step 2
Download and install the AsusVoLTE app from above and launch it. The app is very simple, and only has two buttons - press Enable PDC and you should hear/see a new device installing. Once that's done, you should see a new device under the Device dropdown in Advanced PDC Tool called something like Qualcomm ... 9091. Select it and you should see some things pop up in the box below - starting with HW_DEFAULT and SW_DEFAULT and probably also ROW_v1. If you only see those you will need to load external ones from the MBNs zip above. Simply press the Load button and select the mbn you want. Keep in mind that you will only be able to load MBNs from the zip above, ones from another device will *not* work.
Step 3
Now comes the tricky part; we have to find a profile that actually works on your carrier. For me the VivoVoWiFi_v5 profile enables both VoLTE and VoWiFi, but this may or may not work for you. Most of them at the very least enabled VoLTE for me.
To actually activate a profile you have to right-click on it, select SetSelectedConfig and Sub0, then repeat it but press Sub1 instead. After you've done that Sub0 and Sub1 for that profile should have changed to Pending, so simply highlight it again and press the Activate button at the bottom of the screen. This should change Sub0 and Sub1 to say Active and it should also be moved to the top of the list just below HW_DEFAULT and SW_DEFAULT.
To check if it works you have to either reboot, or you can do the far simpler thing and press Reset Connection in the AsusVoLTE app. This will disable the mobile connection for a few seconds but once it's back on you should hopefully see either VoLTE or VoWiFi in the status bar. If not, you will have to try another profile! It can be quite time consuming finding one that works for you, but if you get VoLTE on at least one of them there's a chance one of them will also enable VoWiFi.
Recommended profiles
Below I will compile a list of carriers and the profile that works best for them.
Carrier - Profile - Function
AT&T - VivoVoWiFi_v5 - VoLTE
H3G SE - VivoVoWiFi_v5 - VoLTE & VoWiFi
Hot Mobile Israel - NLVFVoWiFi_v1 - VoLTE & VoWiFi
Orange Romania - VivoVoWiFi_v5 - VoLTE
Source code:
AsusVoLTE - Github
Let me know if this works for you, or if you have any questions.
Regards

Waiting for someone in the US to confirm this works before pulling the trigger on this phone

Hi I'm from Mumbai, India...for me VoLTE working perfectly. I just want to enable VoWIFI... But my device is not rooted yet.
Let's wait for sometime to see if VoWIFI is working without rooting or not as presently not even a single custom ROM available for ROG 2 so i don't have any reasons to root device.
Still a huge thanks for your all efforts and help what you did for our beast ROG 2...

None of the signed MBNs included with the phone work for T-Mobile, unfortunately. We can't load unsigned ones from other devices.

I believe this has worked on AT&T!

I used the same one he mentioned. The VivoVoWiFi_v5 profile. Thats the first one I tried and it worked right away. Tested a call to another cell I have that I know has VoLTE and it sounds so much better on ROG Phone 2 now, so I can confirm this is working on AT&T 100%
EDIT: To also add, this is the ROG Phone 2 128 GB Tencent Edition as well.

Indeed. I will aim to compile a list in the first post with the recommended profile for each carrier - so it would help if you all could let me know what carrier you are on and what profile you're using!

Someone else with T-Mobile US should try it just to confirm that it doesn't work.

It might be worthwhile to try other profiles to see if you can get VoWiFi as well.

I believe your findings would work with the ZenFone 6. You should head over to their forum and let them have a go. It might even work with the original ROG Phone.

First of all, @HomerSp please create a donation option, I would appreciate the chance to buy you a beer for all the hard work you've done.
Carrier - Hot Mobile Israel, profile - KDDIVOWIFI_V4, function - volte and vowifi, UT doesn't work.
What is UT? Now I can't go into the carrier settings inside the dialer it gives me an error message so I can't cancel call waiting and hide my number for outgoing calls, no big deal for me I will try more profiles tomorrow.

Tried a few other profiles, mostly ones with "VoWIFI" in their name. A lot of these worked for AT&T for VOLTE. Only a few gave me the Video Calling in IMS. The closet I could get was "testSIMViWifi_v4" profile gave me everything BUT VoWifi.
Made sure VoWIFI was enabled in the settings as well. Any ideas?

I can only guess that none of the profiles have VoWiFi configs for AT&T. It's better than nothing I suppose.

I have tmo and project FI. Will test and report

Hi all tried to do this but stuck in step 2 when i select enable PDC on the App nothing happens i have PDC.exe open and have installed the required files but nothing shows up under devices

Flash the Magisk zip file after you flash a full firmware zip.

I'm not sure if my next question belongs in this thread. But since my ROG Phone 2 is currently rooted with an unlocked bootloader. Is there a way to retain this without having to flash the RAW FW and relock the bootloader?
Is there a reason I cant re-flash the stock boot.img and then use fastboot to relock the bootloader?
As a test, I reflashed the latest RAW firmware and relocked the bootloader. And as I expected VOLTE was not enabled again. However, after re-rooting and using PDC, I saw that the profile I used to enable VOLTE was still Active. Would all I need to do is reflash the RAW FW then use ADB to enable the settings in the menu?

any way to open serial without root?

It does not currently support Spanish. It only supports Chinese and English at this time. Sorry!
Nice, someone finally mirrored as the Chinese servers are to slow lol, but some corrections though the ROM does has LTE
Go to general settings > additional > service menu > switch the CDMA to USIM phone should force reboot > following this go back to the service menu and change the Network Mode to Global + LTE That's it.
Also there is another version that puts out updates every Friday here Download Link: http://www.miui.com/download-262.html
Original Source: http://bbs.sonyue.com/thread-96332-1-1.html if anyone can also mirror that one I'd appreciate it as I've had no luck getting it to download lol.

I believe in order to change it to LTE, we would need the Modem to be working. Because the current one tends to freeze MIUI when changing to LTE.
But after some research it looks like you have to flash both the modem and madmacks kernel for it to work. I haven't tested it myself though but I've seen some reports of people doing that back in the General thread. And I'll try and mirror that weekly one and just label this one 'stable' for more options.
Weekly is now up. I've tested it and there should be an update this friday as well via OTA. I'll keep the OP updated a week behind so users can just use the OTA to get to the latest.
This MIUI is pure Daily Driver material. Battery life is great, good performance/features, and GPS location lock is practically stock speed (like ~5 seconds on 3G). They really worked hard on this one :good::good:
Going to test the deep sleep tonight and report back tomorrow.
Update: After flashing the modem, I got a 5% battery drain after 9 hours with Wi-Fi on. So no different from any CM ROM you'll see around here.
Wow, this is one slick getup. The way they've seperated and designed the notication area really pleases me. I'm surprised that design hasn't been ganked by other roms. Mating this with a Cyanogenmod would result in some wicked magic, for sure. CM's awful notication area always maddens me.
This makes me so hype! I'm one of those (seemingly) rare people that really likes miui and have been hoping something with any kind of support would come to the G Pro. Can't wait to flash this tomorrow. Thanks for bringing us this rom.

The modem seemed to flash normally, but after I rebooted, it didn't pick up any network. "Mobile networks" was grayed out in Settings. I tried changing the CDMA settings but it FCed every time I did so and the settings remained unchanged.

Which carrier are you using?
And CDMA settings will FC regardless, it's one of the reasons LTE doesn't work at the moment.
Try going to Settings > Mobile networks > Network carriers and try setting that manually along with the APN.

I'm back on CM11 but when I was using the MIUI 4.10.27 build I had LTE working, you don't need to flash a modem or anything just install normally in aroma and when you get in to the Service Menu select Mobile Networks then click the option Global+LTE and and hit the back button and the icon should change to 4G. Just ignore the changing the CDMA Subscription to USIM step as it doesn't seem to work or effect the E980 so leave it at NV.

[Q] Enable 3g or 2g only on LG G3 D850 (AT&T) On Lollipop!

Hi there, Could someone help me achieve to enable only the use of 2g or 3g networks on my LG g3 D850 ? I need this in order to avoid always using LTE....
My Phone info:
Model: Lg G3 D850
Carrier: AT&T
OS Version: Lollipop 5.0.1
Rooted: Yes.
Custom Rom: Yes but based on official AT&T latest OTA.
Note: I tried to post this in the development area but XDA won't let me. I have read several threats addressing this issue but they all end up in using Xposed and an application and that only works on Kit kat version... I need the solution for Lollipop so I can take the advantages of this version.

I kept reading and in this threat (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/how-to-xposed-running-properly-stock-t3030261) They show you how to enable xposed in LG G3 Lollipop. Be warned though this is a Beta version and you will have to disable Quickcover and Lg Weather App in order for it to run, if you dont do that Xposed will crash and will make your phone unusable it will boot and everything but it will have a pop up window indicating that something went wrong and it wont go away.
After you manage to enable Xposedon Lollipop install the APP intelli3g in the Play store and Give permission to it in Xposed.
This is for Sprint Not AT&T

Hey thank you for your post.. as stated in the original post this is needed for the AT&T variant. The Sprint variant has options that the AT&T doesn't. I don't have that option available AT&T managed to take it out. It's not that easy. The only way to this is following the steps I previously stated.

Look what I found!!!
If you are rooted you can do this easily. You just need to edit the build prop file.
1. Download buildprop editor from the play store
2.Then just change one line, ro.build.target_operator from "ATT" to "OPEN".
3.Reboot.
This will change the phone into thinking it's not ATT branded and will put the "Network Mode" menu back to choose under "Mobile Networks" in settings.
Works perfectly. FYI the AT&T signal bars will change to the generic version but it's a small tradeoff to get that menu back and enjoy better battery life. Enjoy!

I had to use another build prop editor since that one did manage to apply the change BUT after I restarted the phone the property would go back to it original value. So i used ES File Explorer to do it. Just needed to give root access in the app settings and enable the system Write permission.

Was wondering if this worked for you.

Why is Lineage not going to ship with root access by default?

I read on their Gerrit that they are looking to make a flashable zip for root instead of in-built. Does anyone know WHY they are doing this?

It already has safety precautions. You are warned before you turn it on. It is off by default and you must tap your build number 7 times to enable developer options. So there is no way you could accidentally enable developer options that could mess something up.
It's because they want make rom compatible with net pay and other things.... The official builds will have a private key and it will be necessary wipe data to install....

As @quintas84 states below it is for compatibility reasons.
https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/154019
I understand that after flashing the (soon to be provided) superuser zip once, the superuser will survive OTA updates.

Could you elaborate on that last part? Wipe data to install?
According then to avoid problems we will have to do factory reset to install the first offícial build....
Because they will sign zip with a private key to ensure integrity of the zip

I read on their Gerrit that they are looking to make a flashable zip for root instead of in-built. Does anyone know WHY they are doing this?

My opinion is this...
Root is there but, that may be referring to when you activate the Developer Options and selecting the Root access to the App and/or the ADB.
I do believe that is what it may be referring to but, I could be wrong...

I'm currently build nightlies for my phone and in developer options no more root for apps available only disabled or ADB root....
So many of the aps I run will probably no longer work, titanium BU, Nova launcher, Buildprop editor, caldav/carddav, dSQLlitemanager Tasker probably others.
How do you disable the Google crap, for things like contacts . . .
All we have is a vague, we will provide a rooting mechanism sometime, somehow and maybe at some cost!!!
Bye-Bye the ability to configure your device your way.

Easy to resolve. Just flash another superuser until the official LOS one comes out!
Except, if you read the announcement, they are locking the boot loader. which means that it will not be possible to install or run if the system is modified. So disabling a system app, eg. google contact sync, stops your phone from booting unless there is something that allows such mods. You will need their superuser in order to get past the system modification check at boot, third part SU apps will not be installable. (very poor explanation I know).
Locking the bootloader makes the system more acceptable/marketable as it will allow people to use the increasingly marketed pay/banking/wallet apps which insist on good security. These services are estimated to be worth Billions of dollars in fees to the service providers. Just think of the money applepay adds to Apples bottom line.
(rumor) - Another thing that some of these pay app service providers may begin to insist on is registration with a find/wipe/track my phone service. Everybody want to know where you go, who you talk to . . . particularly your government.
I personally think that using your cell phone as a super tap and go credit/debit card is a very dumb idea.
Quick question: will wiping data/locking the bootloader/etcetera be necessary for home builds? Since I have absolutely no plans to use any online banking apps or similar and have a highly customised system (I rely quite heavily on having root, but according to the other thread keeping that is as easy as setting WITH_SU=true), I'm very unhappy with these changes. I don't mind building LineageOS myself, but I want some reassurance that I won't hose my system by not wiping my data.
I can unlock bootloader in oficial Rom .... I don't believe that we can't unlock with third part rom ... If this is true we have always the option to build unofficial....

Locking the bootloader? I doubt if any ROM can lock it. Can you provide a link to where you are seeing this information?
Would be nice if they offered builds with root still an option for those who are not into mobile banking... But like it makes no sense, Banks don't require rootless desktops and there is no good reason to require a rootless phone.

Take a look at post #4 in this thread, and the mention of "boot loaded locked" .
How they achieve that I don't know but I suspect that if you know what you are doing then anything is possible. Maybe to install the new LineageOS ROMs you have to start by flashing a completely stock rom which would include everything that the manufacturer provided.
As I said I don't know, and your guess at how this is achieved is as good as mine.

They are just listing off items that break apps - the ROM and bootloader are completely different things. Lineage OS,as any custom ROM depends on a custom recovery - very difficult to install if your bootloader is locked.

It's because they want make rom compatible with net pay and other things.... The official builds will have a private key and it will be necessary wipe data to install....

I'm sorry it's from lineageos telegram group I don't know if it's official but I read this before they push changes to gerrit and github... Because of that I assume that if it's not official it's someone with great information source....
I hope root will be still available optionally in some builds...

es la misma rom que cyanogenmod..o has hecho modificaciones..??
wow thanks man! that was fast haha, will test ASAP
EDIT: after some testing, the rom is awesome, it is really really fast and battery it is very good too, just 1 question @murigny64, do i need to deny the access for location and contacts? or only location? or everything? besides that, this is amazing, really thanks

Deny all and test your apps. If you need to enable an authorisation, return to privacy guard and long touch google services to choose detailed access.
@murigny64 i see, anyways after deny all i have no problems so it can be done safe, i add some pictures here, magisk all good, performance really good (35k at 1920x1080 and 40k at 1280*720, it is some less than other roms there but i really prefeer lineageOS), Pogo and etc, incredible rom
i suggest to disable LiveDisplay tho, it affects a lot the performance
EDIT: and btw, the battery life is amazing, but interactive seems a little bugged, but anyways it is good
EDIT2: changed to userspace and all ****ing good, idk what is the problem with interactive tho lol
@murigny64
Awesome work, and I LOVE the ROM. I do have a couple questions though. First, can I just disable the privacy guard altogether, or do I need to enable then deny?
Secondly, I saw a post where you were mentioning lock screen issues here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/help/6045-try-to-fix-lockscreen-security-t3435892
I'm having the EXACT same issues. My phone was lollipop, and I've not reflashed any radios. It sounds from your post that you found a file to flash to correct the issue, but I don't know what to look for, or where to find it. Can you please link the files you flashed to fix it, or a link? If it helps, I have the 6045 from cricket.

1 - Battery drain is a Google Service issue, try to disable all privacy and only enable for google service
2 - It's a LL modem issue. You have to flash MM modem from your country

[GUIDE] Enable VoLTE & VoWiFi on all devices NO ROOT.

This is a quick guide on how to enable VoLTE and VoWIFI on every OnePlus 8 or 8 Pro device.
This method involves downgrading the OnePlus LogKit APK to the OnePlus 7 version.
I recommend you to backup the existing LogKit APK using ADB on a
Or download an APK extractor from the Play Store, i personally recommend: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ext.ui&hl=nl
After you extracted the original LogKit you need to download the old LogKit which you can find as an attachment in the thread.
Install the downloaded LogKit APK and follow the steps:
1. Open the Dialer app on the device.
2. dial *#800# and LogKit will open up.
3. Scroll all the way down and click on Function Switch (this is missing from the stock OnePlus 8 LogKit APK).
4. Select VoLTE and when prompted to reboot, press cancel.
5. Select VoWifi and when prompted to reboot press OK.
6. Your device will now reboot and you should have VoLTE & VoWifi enabled.
7. Reinstall the backup from the LogKit apk (VoLTE & VoWifi should still be enabled when you reinstall the backed up LogKit apk).
The above has been tested to work in The Netherlands.
If you have followed the steps, please let me know what your results are!

Sweet! Thanks. Finally makes using this phone on Verizon complete.
Hello LennARTpas,
Can I know which network you're on in The Netherlands? I've tried this but it is not working with KPN as of right now.
I'm on AT&T in the US. I had VoLTE and VoWIFI working on my Note 8, so I know I had it provisioned on my line before. With this LogKit I was able to enable the VoWIFI switch. After reboot I enabled the feature, disabled data, and made a call successfully.
I'm not 100% sure if this is a successful test but just the fact that the VoWIFI option is visible in SIM & Network menu and I can toggle it on makes me think it's working. Is there a way to test this for sure? I can't test without a SIM and I can't make a call with Airplane Mode on, so is there a way to know for sure the call is going over WiFi?
Thanks for sharing this info, I had rather curious finding here on Vodafone Germany: on 10.5.8 I only get VoLTE when the SIM is in SIM2 in the tray, not when in SIM1 ! This is repeatable...

I've tested this by setting the prefered call method to WiFi and then make a call to someone.
The following text will show up when calling: Calling via Wi-Fi call Tele2 NL.
Where Tele2 NL is my provider.

My dialer only says "Calling..." it does not say the portion where it says "via Wi-Fi call Tele2 AT&T" or the like. I also do not have the Record button at the bottom. Are you using a dialer other than the one which comes with the stock ROM.

Can confirm. Verizon is still a no go.
Crap I got excited this would work on Verizon, I was about to purchase again.
Doesn't work with visible (Verizon pre paid mvno). Once you switch the wifi calling toggle in the network settings and leave the screen, it unchecks itself.
Can anyone confirm working VoLTE and WiFi calling on T-Mobile with the IN2015 variant?

Anyone on Verizon try this yet? Normally I would have done it by now, but I'm having a busy Monday, and actually have to do some work. I probably won't have time to "work" on my phone until after lunch.
