Hello,
Is there any one using the ATT GS5 on Tmobile network (obviously Tmobile SIM) with wifi calling working ? (Please..please.. I know ATT does not have wifi calling, But if you use a Tmobile Rom with Tmobile sim, you expect to have it working) !!
If yes, would you please share which ROM you are using ? Also if there is a trick to make it wok please share it?
Thanks
no luck so far
This is not a solution, I just wanted to report what I have tried so far.
I have a G900A with a t-mobile SIM card. I called TMO to make sure wifi calling was enabled on my line. I used towelroot + safestrap to install the t-mobile Alliance rom (B4), as well as the latest stock TMO rom. So far, wifi calling does not work. It is always stuck on "Enabling" in the calling options menu. VoLTE doesn't work either, but I wasn't expecting it to. My guess is that there is something in the TMO baseband that makes these things work and that ATT phones don't have.
Any hints and ideas would me much appreciated!

JJ here,
I tried this ROM - [ROM] G900TUVU1BNH5 ported from TMobile, rooted, deodexed, no knox, Download Booster
... everything works, nice and smooth, but the Wifi Calling is stuck "Enabling"...
Same boat.
My att s5 is unlocked and on the tmobile network. Your telling me i can flash the tmobile stock rom? And everything will be working properly, except wifi calling?

Will everything else work properly? I mainly need the t mobile stock rom to enable mobile hotspot, I have an ATT phone and do not wish to trip efuse. Thanks
does anyone know if the same issue will happen with the international version?
On a similar topic, my dad has a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 which was sold in Malaysia. And I found out that his phone was not able to hotspot. I have downloaded the official firmware of Samsung Galaxy S5 for Malaysia and was going to use Odin to flash the firmware into his phone. Does that work and not brick the phone? The phone seems to be unlocked as it can be used here except the firmware and the phone is AT&T barnded. Any advise? Thanks

It all works!
Guys, I have some great news. Both wifi calling AND VoLTE now work on my SM-G900A on the T-mobile network. Here is what I did:
I installed the latest ATT firmware (OA1), released earlier this February. OTA update did not work, so I had to flash the original firmware (ANCE) via Odin, and then flash the two subsequent updates using update.zip on the SD Card. This will remove safestrap and root, but fear not.
Once my phone had AO1 installed, I used this tutorial to root the phone again. It invonves temporarily flashing an earlier (ND3) kernel, using TowelRoot, and then reflashing the OA1 kernel
With my OA1 rooted, I installed safestrap. Make sure you install busybox first.
With safestrap, I installed the T-mobile Alliance Rom (build B4).
Seconds after booting, both Wifi Calling and Voice over LTE work!
Enjoy!
Guillaume
Hi Guillaume,
Have you tried just installing the stock T-mobile 5.0 firmware on a Att GS5 ?
I have my GS5 in ND3 rooted and I'm on Tmobile, but the procedure you have seems really long...
I really need wifi calling as I'm travelling a lot and it allows to call my wife when I'm back in France.
Thanks

Thanks as this is great news for us G900A users on TMO! Question though: After 0A1 installed/backedup and Alliance installed, did you use safestrap [TWRP] to restore your data from 0A1 install?

Actually no; I had been using the t-mo alliance rom using safestrap for a long time (just with the old ATT modem and kernel), so I just restored the data associated with that.
Some more info after a day of tests:
You can also install the 5th build of Alliance Rom, it works too
The camera sometimes glitches a bit; toggling HDR on/off fixes it
Except for the camera glitch I'm pretty happy with it!

I might to try to create a flashable zip from the latest t-mobile lollipop release, keeping only the /system files, and see how that goes. This is really a shot in the dark, hoping that the 4.4.4 modem and kernel from ATT somehow work well enough with the t-mobile lollipop rom. Damn you locked bootloader!

Agree with the last expletive.
I did install in alliance B4 in slot 1 of Safestrap and both wi-fi tether and calling worked well. However, my G900A would not reboot or shutdown (dark screen) without a battery pull. After power up...worked?!?!
Did you install as "Stock" or in a slot?
Also have a G870A (Active). Do you know of anyone attempting the 0A1 method and Alliance Rom with the s5 Active?

What would happen if I odin a Stock T-mobile firmware and let T-mobile update it ?
Will it update the Baseband etc ?

I only use the stock slot.
B4 seems a bit more than stable than B5 for some reason. I get some signal issues with B5, and the fingerprint scanner sometimes fails. (It works when I first install B4, use it for a while, and then upgrade to B5. But if I do a /data wipe on B5, these issues appear. I have no idea why).

Okay thanks,
So I started the steps, I've Odin the original firmware and factory reset on but my baseband stayed ND3...
Tried the OTA update hoping that it would work, but as expected it did not.
So I guess I'm at step 1 of your step one.
Then you said you pushed the update via sd card, where did you find the updates ?
Then I'll do the other steps!

They are in the post that I linked to, under the troubleshooting section. If you want to keep your user data, use adb sideload instead of recovery

OK. Installed in stock slot but ROM behaved much differently.
1. Wifi sms/mms work both send/receive but erratically.
2. Outgoing calls connect then immediately drop with local "cancelled" within a few milli-secs with a partial ring at the far end.
3. Can't receive calls at all. TMO network thinks I'm offline even though can receive a text.
3. Phone App GUI stutters when making a call.
4. Camera is basically not usable.
Where there any special steps you took to get this working installed in the stock slot? Has your install remained stable? Thanks in advance.

My phone is still working flawlessly. What your are describing is what happened to me during the short period I reverted to the NG3 kernel in order to use Towelroot. Did you make sure to reflash the OA1 kernel once you were rooted? (before installing safestrap and, within safestrap, installing the Alliance Rom). I have found Alliance B4 to be more stable, so you could try that. Finally, a factory reset (wipe option in safestrap). Beyond that, you could try the whole thing again: flash the "downgrade to NCE" rom, which will remove safestrap and clean everything up; and take the tutorial from there.

Thanks again Guillaume,
Was running OA1 prior to Alliance B3, so just wiped Dalvik and Cache again, rebooted and left phone for the night. By next morning all was well except for the camera HDR issue. Once toggled it is OK until closed and reopened. Haven't had the time to look into whether there are Alliance B4 options which may affect this.
Have run it a few days and have had zero issues with Wi-Fi calling or tethering or apps: a very smooth experience.
Thanks again for your contribution. Also muniz_ri will find a bottle of wine on the doorstep soon. :highfive:
Hi guys,
The way I see it the Tethering and Hotspot option is only working with Verizon SIM card.
Now when I'm trying to use different (foreign country) SIM it says: "A Verizon Wireless LTE SIM card is not detected. Mobile Hotspot/Mobile Broadband connect/Bloototh tethering service needs a Verizon SIM card in order to work".
What are my options to make it work? Is there any workaround? Maybe some app?
Appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!

I would love to know the exact same thing as I just converted my Verizon LG G2 to T-Mobile last night and the only issue I have is tethering. From reading I found a method to running the T-Mobile ROM on the Verizon LG with a patch added after loading the ROM and prior to first reboot but I cannot find any information about Wi-Fi tethering and if this would solve the problem. Anyone the help or insight?

Make sure your phone is rooted and use root explorer or es file explorer to replace the modded apk file with the original.
After much trial and error, trying all the different modded version on the threads, I cannot get any of them to work. As I am on stock 24a, rooted and debloated, I am going to back my APNs, flash back to 100% stock with stock recovery. Once I get this done I will re-root, install custom recovery and then backup the stock, after which I will load one of the custom ROMS and see if that resolves it. If not I can get a hotpot from T-Mobile for next to nothing out the door if I find I need it.

Hey. I have found an workaround regarding the hotspot here somewhere.
To bypass/activate the hotspot, you need following :
Root your phone using LG ONE CLICK ROOT
HotSpot file ( for lollipop version)
Root Browser
Steps to follow :
Go to root browser.
Head to /system/app/HotspotProvision and rename or backup HotspotProvision.apk, ex : " HotspotProvision.apk.bkup" . Then go to /system/app/HotspotProvision/arm and rename or backup " HotspotProvision.odex" file. After that, copy the provided Hotspot provision file to the same location, change its permission to rw-r-r and restart phone.
It should work now.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards :good:

First this is only a guide not a repost
NG2 Baseband
1. Use ssu.apk to unlock it first
2.use cf auto root to it
3 use adb:
su
am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://27663368378
UMTS -> DEBUG SCREEN -> PHONE CONTROL -> NETWORK CONTROL -> GCF
There the phone is domestic unlock without downgrading the modem
Haven't tested this but if it works, Bravo!

@AndroidKing, after doing just pop up domestic sim and go?
how you discovered this? lol
I have not tested yet, but this kill all other methods
thanks,
yea pop the sim and go i found this method when i was nae frimware and baseband and kept updating it went NG2 and lost the unlock for some reason so I tried so this i seen for the note 3/l720t and it worked
So Does this method make my device works on CDMA&GSM carriers (standby),or GSM only carriers?
Thanks for the steps and instruction. Quick question:
- if step 1 (ssu.apk) does the unlock, then why do we need to do steps 2 and on?
Thanks !

No this is NOT for rooting
This is only for unlocking. To root the NG2 build you have to use chainefires method which will trip Knox. But you said you don't mind. So root and flash away!
can any confirm?
and, can we get a cleaner instruction for noobs?
also does it matter which ROM u'r using?

I can't believe it was this easy. I temp flashed back to stock rooted ng2, used ssu.apk to unlock, then restored my GPE Lollipop 5.0.1 backup, popped in my Metro sim(t-mobile), set it to World mode, and bam, says I'm on T-mobile's network, calls and data seem to work. It even shows up as MetroPCS as the active network under status. Put the Sprint sim back in, and it's back to my Ting account.
So to recap, I went to stock NG2 rom, did step one only, skipped the other steps, then went back to custom rom and it now works great. Thanks dude

I responded to your PM. I hope you have time to read a book. lol
For anyone else that's wondering:
1. be on stock NG2. ssu.apk force-closes on aosp/custom roms, at least for me.
2. Run ssu.apk and do the unlock. This does not require root.
3. do the other commands through ADB(step 3 from Androidking's original post), just in case. You may or may not need them. I don't know why it worked for me without them. That step DOES require root.
4. Test your sim card and make sure your phone can read it, and if possible, make a call, try text/data, whatever.
5. Flash to the rom of your choice. I recommend this excellent Lollipop rom by Danvbh: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-5-0google-play-edition-lrx219-12-24-t2982384
It allows easy selection of any band/technology that the phone is capable of(which will not actually mean anything until after this unlock procedure). It also automatically gives you many choices for APN's related to your chosen band(not sure if that is a feature of the rom, or if it is standard Android behavior.) Easily select the correct APN for all sorts of carriers, including many popular prepaid services. No manual entry of info needed(probably).
One thing to note: on the custom rom, when I have my Sprint sim in, it says "Invalid Sim" on the lockscreen. The phone does read the sim though, it just says it doesn't. Not sure why that happens. It may be due to the fact that I deactivated my Ting service and haven't gotten new service elsewhere yet, so it can't actually connect to any 4g lte service. It doesn't do that in the stock rom though, it displays normally. Probably just an odd quirk that will work itself out when I switch services. Nothing to worry about.

I tried terminal emulator and it opens up the secret menu that opens when you dial *#0011# everytime. I couldnt get into it dialing that tho. I cant get it to work in adb for some reason. So I just used this to get into the menu and change everything manually. The only problem I have now is when I flash a lollipop rom, the network mode gets stuck on LTE only. Even if I change it to world mode, when I go back it just goes back to LTE only. Any ideas?

So I went back to completely stock/encrypted to flash the new 5.1.1 update with Wi-Fi calling. I want to stay encrypted but I want to re-root my phone. Anyone running the new T-Mobile 5.1.1 build (LYZ28E) with root and having any problems with Wi-Fi calling? I just want to make sure it won't break it if I root... it would defeat the entire purpose of going back to stock.
Thanks!

Flash SuperSU and report back to us, let us know if it works. You can always unroot with ease via SuperSU settings. There is a cleanup option.

I could, but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone else has done it first.
My biggest concern is that I have yet to see Wi-Fi calling work. I flashed my phone at work using NRT and I am connected to Wi-Fi, and I have enabled Wi-Fi calling (set to Wi-Fi preferred) and I'm not seeing any evidence anywhere that it's active. I'm probably going to have to wait until I get home and try my Wi-Fi there.
My phone is rooted and wifi calling is working. BUT i have several ap's at home. before i had no issue handing off from one ap to the other. now, i have to disable wifi and re-enable to connect to the closest ap. also, the update has completely stopped giving me notifications on my moto 360
No problems for me.
I have a t-mobile purchases N6 that is running rooted stock. This morning I got the message that the 5.1.1 update was available and I let it download but since I am running TWRP, nothing happened at reboot which is what you would expect. Can I just install the rom that downloads? I know there is a rooted stock rom available but I sometimes use wifi calling. I don't care if I lose root but I want to make sure I don't brick my phone.
I think more than anything I don't want to keep looking at the notification that tells me there is a new version and it won't go away.
You won't be able to flash the OTA file since you made modifications to /system. It will just fail The OTA is just a patch and not a full image.
If you want to update to 5.1.1, you'll need to flash the image or a custom ROM.
Ok thanks! Other than losing WiFi calling, is there any issue with flashing the international ROM to a T-Mobile phone? I know T-Mobile has a weird band that isn't always connected with all radios, at least on other phones.
if you want wifi calling and 5.1.1, install the t-mobile specific rom here:

You can install international versions and have it work on T-Mobile. If you want all the features, flash this latest version.
