I have a Verizon S5 rooted with safestrap. I know I can't fully convert my s5 to a T-Mobile one because the boot loader is locked but I would like to get WiFi calling working. I flashed Alliance ROM and could not get WiFi calling to work at all. It would say enabling and never change afterwards. I'm wondering if there is work around or will WiFi calling just not work until we get our bootloaders unlocked?

I do believe only t-mobile supports wifi calling, flashing a tmobile rom on a verizon phone wont make it work.
Yes tmobile wifi calling on another carrier will not work. This is a subject that has been gone over time and time again. Now if you wait, supposedly att and verizon are going to start rolling out there own wifi calling. I do not know when so please do not ask me. Use the ever usefull google search to get this answered. I am not gonna search for the answers for you.

I understand that WiFi calling for T-Mobile won't work for Verizon service. But I have T-Mobile service. With a T-Mobile Sim in my Verizon s5. I don't have Verizon at all is what I'm saying. So shouldn't WiFi calling work under these circumstances?

No You would have to install one of the latest complete factory tmobile roms to get wifi calling to work. And the last time i checked, verizon s5 is locked down, and can only be flashed using safestrap << which does not allow flashing of kernels. I could be wrong but i know that is what was happening on att which is why i left, cause of the locked down bootloaders..
you will have to get an s5 that isnt locked down, I would definatly stay away from ATT and Verizon , untill someone is able to completely unlock those phones, which doesnt seem like it is gonna happen,
Add the T-Mobile APN
You need to add an APN for t-mobile to get mobile internet access. I can't post the apn setting here because I don't have enough posts to include a url in my post and the settings include a url. Just google it.

Did not work on my unrooted ATT Galaxy S5 being used on T-mobile.
I called ATT to unlock this feature, they asked me to call Samsung. Called Samsung, the guy wasted 2 hours & called ATT & T-mobile and finally advised me to contact ATT to unlock this feature. I have asked him to give me in writing. I paid for and own the phone and ATT has no rights to block some features.
I wish someone initiates a class action suit on these people.
FoxFi worked on my Verizon S5 before I rooted it (this was a while ago), but I had to use the certificate method. I tried recently with an AT&T S5 active, but I couldn't find the certificate option anymore...
a bit of research.....

imho USA providers take a lot of effort to crap your terminals with unneeded SW while locking many features. Users learn this the hard way..... maybe a more in depth research before buying would help.
And of course.... this fórum can make the difference once you already jumped into a new terminal: rooting, unlocking, flasing ROMs... is all a click away from your fingers once you learn a bit. I'll take this way rather tan calling Customer Service....

I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 and then changed APN settings for it to work on T-mobile. Everything works fine except the MMS, but that's not an issue at hands( i can always use whatsapp or similar apps). The question is will i be able to get OTA for the Lollipop once it comes out for GS4 (rumors say it should be out really soon). Please let me know what I should do to be able to get the Lollipop. Please assume I know nothing about these processes (which is true, i just can follow precise directions) and if possible provide step-by-step instructions.
Thanks.

I have done some research and came across people who said the phone should not work, people who said that some additional modules need to be installed in order for it to work, and other people who said all i have to do is change APN. I chose the third option as it required the least effort and was easily reversible ( i think). After changing the APN settings this Sunday ( 3 days ago), the phone makes call on Tmobile network, has 4G LTE and lower speed internet, sends/accept SMS (not MMS).

To get Lollipop when it comes out for our Phone. Whenever it does, just use your computer and flash the lollipop TAR using ODIN. Or you could just download the OTA.zip and sideboard it from the stock recovery. Just come back to this site after Lollipop comes out and there will be a guide.
Edit: wait... if all you changed was APNs then you can still take the update through settings.

To let you know, a while back someone posted a guide in the general on how to enable TMobile AWS on our phone.
Sorry for the noob question, just got the unlocked version of the S9+. I have build G965U1UES2ARF4. Read some stuff on other forums, thought I had it figured out, but got confused as I read more.
I would like to enable Volte/Wi-Fi Calling. I understand I have to flash AT&T firmware via Odin. I am not clear on what files and how to do it on Odin. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, if I flash to AT&T, do I lose whatever comes with my current ARF4 build? For example, I have FM radio enabled. Do I lose that because I am going over to the AT&T firmware where I think it is disabled? Is my phone no longer unlocked? Do I get bloatware?
Last question, when I flash, is it the same as a factory reset?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

You will not able to use wifi or volte on an unlocked Galaxy s9, even if you install the att firmware, I tried. Some have reported if you have an att branded phone with sim give that IMEI number to att support and then transfer the sim to the Galaxy and it may work, I have not tried it. Wifi and Volte will work with t mobile with no problems, I have not tried Verizon.
I have an unlocked variant on Verizon. With their firmware, VOLTE and Wi-Fi calling will work, but not video calling.

There is a hack for that which I use: Place your line's SIM in a real Verizon device. Leave it in long enough that the VZW website sees the line as the new IMEI and device model (should only take a couple minutes). Go into Service Blocks and remove the block on Video Calling. Put the SIM back in the original device). Voila. You've got Video Calling.
The system doesn't care to check once the line is activated. But if it's activated with a U1 device, it turns that block on. If you use this hack and turn the block off, they never check.

I went to the AT&T store the other day and they already had the IMEI from my Galaxy. So I wonder if I switch from an AT&T branded phone back to the Galaxy that the IMEI number of the Galaxy will just re-register.

It will. But it's more manual. Verizon will pick up the new IMEI automatically. My understanding is that AT&T will require a call in to support while the SIM is in the real AT&T device. You ask them to associate your line with the new IMEI while it is still in the genuine device. Once that's done, you can move the SIM to the device you really want to use.

I wish I could help on that. With Verizon, the menu is there in the firmware at all times. As is video calling. Maybe AT&T hides it until the provisioning checks out. I don't know.

Despite what the websites like to post, there really isn't a VZW U1 and an ATT U1. There's just XAA U1. You'll get Wi-Fi Calling on every carrier with it now, except for ATT.

Reading up on it (short summary) this is because AT&T uses a database of IMEI numbers to provision WiFi calling and VoLTE. Since our IMEI numbers from our phones are not in that database we won't be able to use WiFi calling or VoLTE.
Makes sense but is ridiculous for AT&T to restrict it. Has anyone ever called to ask to have thier Unlocked IMEI added to this "list" so that these features will work? Seems like it is a disadvantage for AT&T if it works for TMo and now Verizon but not AT&T...?
Just curious...

It's odd for sure. Verizon has always had VoLTE on unlocked too. At least since the S7. Probably before that. ATT has never felt the need to change the policy.

Who can say if it's disadvantageous or not, for all we know it might be the technology differences between the networks. Also it does make sense... having specific IMEI numbers known to connect to carrier specific services like wifi calling and VoLTE ensures that everything works. It doesn't make it convenient for us and I will admit it would be nice to have the features.. but for calling via wifi there are options.
Personally I use pbx in a flash and bria softphone. With the right VoIP provider it's a good setup and doesn't break the bank at all. I haven't even spent more then 5 bucks maybe in a month. For me this is better then wifi calling and I don't have any problems.
As for adding our IMEI to that database I tried inquiring about it, but I do recall reading where some people may have had luck in doing this. I suspect it may require a bit of luck and/or perserveriance after my last discussion with AT&T customer service.
I explained the situation and what needed to be done while being placed on hold a few times. As the call continued I tried to be patient with the person I spoke too, but I admit it is not easy when he is saying that just because I see H data speed that it's actually VoLTE. When I mentioned the speed test and how it was H data speed (and that H data speeds are not VoLTE) he was saying that H data speeds were like blazing fast compared to LTE..
I had to politely finish the call before I either started to laugh or feel sorry for that rep.

The only thing I've seen some people do successfully to get VoLTE working on an unbranded unlocked device is to have AT&T provision a SIM card to an IMEI of a phone that is AT&T branded and capable of VoLTE. Then use that SIM card on the unbranded unlocked device.

No problem. You're not the first person to look for it in the wrong place. U1 builds always place the setting there. So they stayed consistent doing it this way.
OK, so I was with T-Mobile forever, and I bought this phone from them at launch. I decided to switch over to MetroPCS by T-Mobile because it's cheaper, so I paid off my phone then unlocked it (Even though I didn't need too, the Metro SIM worked in it before I unlocked it).
It worked fine for two weeks, and I had WiFi calling and everything, and then the RJ5 (I believe?) update came out, and when my phone booted up it said new sim detected, and WiFi calling was gone. My APN settings were set to MetroPCS', so I set it back to the T-Mobile one since it's essentially the same network, but the WiFi calling option is *completely* gone; it's not there, trust me. I call MetroPCS support and they said they can't enable it for devices that weren't bought from them, and I tried to argue like sure you can, send it up to a higher level support team, but I could hardly understand her and gave up.
I went into a MetroPCS store and they had a spare T-Mobile SIM, popped it in, boom WiFi calling was back.
Come OneUI Pie update one, I opt in and update, and voila, WiFi calling is back!
I just downloaded the second update last night, and now it's gone again. This **** is driving me crazy, if anyone can help me figure out a way to fix this I will love you forever.
Wow, that was a gripping good yarn! I think there's a good chance that if you switch to the unlocked G965U1 firmware, it might work. I have an unlocked Verizon S9+ running on TMO, and once I flashed it to U1, wifi calling and volte worked automatically. I'm not positive how it will be with Metro but it is worth looking into. When you flash the collect unlocked firmware, when the phone boots up it will detect your sim and then reboot and configure all the settings for you.
P.S. I don't suppose there's Metro firmware out there?
I don't think there's Metro firmware, because my updates still come from T-Mobile. T-Mobile owns Metro. So what you're saying is flash the firmware via Odin and my phone would be like truly unlocked and I would get updates from Samsung rather than T-Mobile? I don't want to go through all this if it isn't a a certain fix, but sadly there's no way to tell that.

For some carriers, the Wifi calling requires the phone to have carrier firmware. Verizon is one. I bought my 9+ from Samsung unlocked, and it didn't have wifi calling on Verizon until I reflashed the phone (using Patched ODIN) to a Verizon firmware and Wifi calling works... as does the Verizon bloat, but most of that can be disabled with Package Disabler pro or similar app.

The setting itself still isn't in connections or anywhere in the settings. This is so dumb, lol.
