I know this seems like an unusual request but i was wondering if it were possible to use odin to install the T-Mobile Note 3 rom on or AT&T Note 3? Only reason I'm asking is because I work allot out of my office at work and there's very little cellphone reception if any in my office I was curious if it would be possible to swap roms because of T-Mobiles WiFi calling and texting feature built into their roms.
Any information would help pls.
Edit:
I've found on this forum a thread that another member was successful in using Odin to flash a T-mobile rom... here is his thread can a respected member on here please chime in?

No, as we have a locked boot loader. Trying will most likely brick your phone. WIFI calling doesn't work on AT&T as it is not supported by AT&T. That is why you don't see it on any ROMS for AT&T. Would be nice.

I'm using tmobile at the moment didn't like att's data restrictions. I'll just wait hopefully someone is able to get the bootloader unlocked. Thx.

I have T-Mobile now and am using a Note 3 from ATT. Wi-FI calling does not work. I see the option but it will not work at all. Stays "enabling".

Do you have a t mobile rom on your att note 3? Cause that's what I asking if it's possible. If so how do I go about it?

Its very easy. I could port one in hours but WiFi calling is carrier dependent. Won't work

I have an ATT Note 3 with T MO software. It is fairly straightforward. Was easy to install. Once I installed the TMO os on the phone it WORKED BETTER.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625946
Again, I cannot wifi call but adding the tmo carrier option via the Modificatinator helped a lot and it FIXED THE GPS issue. It's obvious the GPS issue is ATT related. Adding the additional TMO was a lil pain until I figured it out it was cake.

Hi,
I am planning on installing "TweakedN3 2.0 UVUBMI7 4.3 SM-N900T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 ... for AT&T!" this weekend. Can you tell me how and what what you did in the Modificatinator to include TMO ?
Thanks!
So I loaded the Tweaked rom on my N3 and it is pretty impressive. The only thing that doesnt work is WIFI. ANNOYING. It hangs at "enabling wifi" Unsure why. Seems to do this with all the non Aroma TMO roms except Elite S5 port.
You must use the wifi fix, umm its around, I do not have it on me, PM me to remind me, I will upload it when I get home. :good:
Hello - I have the same situation as those in this thread. Got a deal on an AT&T Note 3 unlocked, but am on T-Mobile's network. I'm using the Alliance T-Mobile ROM for the AT&T Note 3 and everything is great except wifi calling doesn't work. Always get a ER041 DNS error or hangs when trying to switch wifi calling settings. Since I'm on T-Mobile's network, shouldn't I be able to use wifi calling? This shouldn't be a radio issue but rather a software one I would think.
To add to this, the following post mentions this feature is at the kernel level and wifi calling will not work. Not sure if this can be confirmed or there is truly a fix.
This wifi 'fix' that was mentioned; does it exist and do you or anyone have the link? TIA

Wifi calls working?
I was wondering if you ever got the wifi calls and texts to work on your SM-N900A? If so, what did you have to do? If I can't get it working I might just go back to my S3, only because I work at ExxonMobil and all the buildings out here are "blast proof" causing zero cell signal.

You can't get tmobile wifi calling to work, but you can get a Google voice number then installed Hangout dial to work as wifi calling, I have same experience since I never got signal in my office. So I use google voice all the time, well i need tell others my phone numbers though. it is free to call within US, and Canada, other place i think there is charge.
Cool, I'll do that. Thanks.

Hello,
So I just switched from ATT to Tmobile and now using the Tmobile service. After I put in the tmobile simcard into my unlocked N900A, I got everything from good service to 4gLTE. Now I want wifi calling feature on my N900A, So I rooted the device with towel root and installed SS (of course after SU and BUSYBOX). After I backed up my stock rom, in rom slot 1 I installed tweaked N3 3.8 but the wifi calling toggle got stuck on "enabling". I thought may be something was wrong with the flash so I flashed the tweaked N3 3.9 but it gave the same result. So I thought let me try another Tmobile rom on my ATT note 3 so I flashed the "Effortless ROM" from the tmobile section but still when I see the wifi calling toggle in the setting it is still stuck on enabling.
Is there anyway I can enable the wifi calling feature onto my ATT note 3 4.4.2 NC2.
I installed the SRX tmobile rom on my galaxy S3 and the wifi calling feature is working great.

2 things,
1.. when you flashed Tweaked, did you do the custom install.prop and edit it, and when you edited it, did you set it to att on tmo? i think that is what you might want.. if you flashed it strait from att thread, it is going to load as att and you cant do Wifi calling..
2. did you double check your APN, not 100% certain if wifi calling is effected by that, but make sure you are using tmo apn if you are with them..
side note, why the hell wouldn't you change over to the tmo note3 if you are on tmo now? unlocked BL and you can do so much more id say trade that att N3 in for the tmo one if you are able... you will probably love it so much more.

1 - I did change in the custom install.prop. I changed it to tmo on att N900a , isn't that what I am supposed to do? or other way around att on tmo as you mentioned?
2- APN was set up correctly as I was getting the 4GLTE and I double checked it and it was using tmo apn.
for the side note I actually won't mind trading my phone in for tmo note 3 but I am short on money so can't spend those extra few hundred on trading unless if I can find someone to do the straight swap as my phone is like new out of the box (not a single scratch).
Question for you,, Have you seen anyone able to enable wifi calling successfully? because I really want to use this feature as it will help me at home.
As far as I know, T-Mobile wifi calling is not supported with any AT&T plan/SIM

Can't you do their version of next program and trade in and pay nothing then just add to monthly if something you would do....personally not a fan of those plans but an option to save some or can't do the up front costs

Sorry to hear nothing came of this - and nice job on being thorough and testing some other tmobile rom options. I know it worked for people back in the Note 2 days (Non-TMo N2 with TMo service and TMo rom -> wifi calling worked), so my gut says it should be possible... but my gut is rather uninformed on such things so I dunno how good the ole gut read really is

Ya thanks for keeping this in the back of your mind. I did some research after I talked with you and saw that there are some unknown problem with safestrap and using the rom slots, And all the roms I tried including yours was on rom slot. So I am thinking of flashing the tweaked on the stock slot and see if that helps with the wifi calling. I will keep you guys posted if I find anything.
Thanks.

Any luck? I have an AT&T Note 3 as well that I'm using with a T-Mobile SIM, and I'm about to move to a building that has very poor T-Mobile coverage, and so I want to be able to use wifi calling.
If someone was willing to do a straight trade of a T-Mobile Note 3 for my AT&T one, I'd be all set, but probably hard to find that.

Sorry for the very late reply but I was away for 2 months to my home country and I had very bad internet there so didn't visit
XDA from there.
For your problem you can unlock your device either by calling att which is a free method or you can buy the unlock code from the ebay or any unlocking company, If you google it you will find plenty. And as far as I know tmobile also caps there data at 1 or 2 GB unless you have unlimited 4g LTE plan which I would think is little on the expensive side.

Greetings from the Bay Area. I stuck my Verizon SIM in my T-Mobile Nexus 6 and I couldn't figure out how to tell if HD Voice was working (since it was too early to call my wife), though when I made a call it switched to 1x in the notification bar. That's a bad sign. I'll do some more testing today and report back. I was especially curious about this as I too I find HD Voice to be awesome on my iPhone 6.
-Collin-
if its anything like tmobiles hd calling, which works on the n6 btw, both phones have to have it before it works. if only one of the 2 phones in the conversation has it, it wont work.
VZW user here. I can confirm that all of the advanced features are not working at this time. In fact the phone is not even capable of simultaneous voice and data.
This is true of several new phones on Verizon including the Droid Turbo, which of course is the carrier locked 5.2 inch version of the Nexus 6. In all likelyhood the Nexus 6 will not see VoLTE or simultaneous voice and data unless Verizon finds it in their hearts to get an update to us N6 users that will turn those things on for us.
I knew all this going in but i hold out hope that Verizon will carry the phone, which would mean an update will eventually hit.
However, should they not carry it I will be ok with the phone as is.

the phone is very capable of phone service and data at the same time. and the phone is compatible to volte. on all other providers besides verizon, it can get voice and data at the same time(verizon is cdma and doesnt support it). that said, verizons volte is just starting to make it out. when you get volte in your area, you will be able to make calls and get data at the same time.
Not true, I have volte on my area and used successfully in the iPhone 6 plus but it does not work on my nexus 6, even after going in and adding advanced calling on my line.

odd, ive talked to a few using their lte lines to connect calls over volte.
Until Verizon issues an update for the Nexus 6, the feature won't work, period.
I'm assuming Google will push out an update that enables it if you are using a verizon SIM, but who knows.
Just wait. If it's a feature you need, you'll have to wait until Verizon officially supports the device.

Verizon phones have had data and voice at the same time in the past, but some newer android phones (Nexus 6, Moto X 2014, G3) don't have it, yet. VoLTE is a bit different, but also limited to certain devices.
This article might help a little:

It it software based e.g. is there an .apk on the droid turbo that allows for it to work? or is it on the core android [system] level that needs to be baked in at the time of building the rom? Obviously where I am going with this is if it's something installed, on the droid turbo for example, can we just lift off those files off and work to get it work in AOSP land?
No there isn't. The Turbo doesn't support it yet. Unfortunately you're going to have to be patient.

I have not tested this, but usually "ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1" in build.prop does the trick.

you cant "enable" it. its automatically enabled if its in your area. problem is that both caller and receiver need to have this for it to work.

lol, its the same thing when im talking with my father :angel:
If the N6 supports volte and we are using it before vzw sales the device directly, is Google able to help us activate this feature? Bc i dont see vzw giving an update to phones that are unrecognized and showing as non vzw devices.
Sooo.... I am wondering if volte support will ever work on those of us who chose not to wait til vzw releases their version of the nexus 6?
May be the price we had to pay to get a non tramp stamped nexus without any carrier customizations and bloat.....

I'm just happy my Nexus 6 hasnt been violated by Verizon. They never got their dirty little hands on it. It's so nice having a phone with No bloatware.
Verizon will eventually carry the Nexus 6 and will eventually send out the Software update which enables VoLTE. I'm not sure if we will get that update? But we shall see what happens
Knowing that the nexus 6 include the xlte bands required on Verizon, I assume xlte works on the phone of of the box?
Also, does anyone have information about possibly baking in volte into this phone from looking at other Verizon variants that have volte?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
First one is sort of, need trimmed sim or nano, but it is hard to get the nano activated. I don't really consider this working out of the box
Second one, that is Verizon. We've heard different dates and had photos leaked. It will most likely come, but volte is something on Verizons side, not ours. So you can't do anything about that unless they end up supporting it.
Is the volte options Sim based or ROM/kernel based or both? Anyone know that?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app
It is network based option. I'm judging based on what I've seen on my iPhone 6 Plus. The second verizon sent out an email stating they've enabled volte here, I had a new option upon network settings reset.
I have a nexus 6 on the business line and I've been very tempted to use that as a main device. Unfortunately, experience with it on verizon isn't as good as the iPhone. Voice + Data is a big one to me, it also doesn't seem to keep LTE as well in poor coverage areas. Also, verizon is odd... I either have 2 bars or 4 bars of LTE most places. With 2 bars I'm upwards of 60mbps and about 10 with 4. That switching happens most places I'm at. I'm guessing it is due to the bands that they use. On the nexus, anytime this switching happens I have just grey bars and service can be wonky.
Has anyone looked at there options on the Verizon website? I was able to add Advanced Calling 1.0 but I can't figure out how to turn it on on the phone. I rebooted but there are no options for it. I am stock rooted 5.0.1

It will be under mobile networks where you choose global...lte and so on. Only available on a few phones right now. I would suspect the VZ nexus will have it. We will need a mod for our unbranded ones.

Where did you find that menu? I logged into my account online and can't find any reference to advanced calling.
For me it is listed as HD Voice on Verizon's Site. To verify on the site I go to Add Change Features --> Manage Your Products --> It should be listed there.
Though as of right now Verizon has not enabled it on their end for this phone. http://www.verizonwireless.com/landingpages/advanced-calling-devices/
I bought the 950u1(but didn't receive it yet) because of the fear of samsung closing the ability to cross flash u and u1 variants and I know metropcs(tmk) has u1 firmware.
Will the unlocked u1 variant have VOLTE and wifi calling out of the hole rather then flashing the u1(tmk) firmware?

Hey bro. I know nothing about Metro but my info may (or may not ha) help you.....is it gsm or cdma? I just bought N950U1 to use with a Straight Talk byop AT&T sim. I have been with straight talk for about 8 years and have been an android root junkie since I got my note 3....then the note 4....and now this beast note 8. I would like to think Im fairly knowledgable about the Android system but I have also been trying to sort through all the info about U vs U1 firmware and carrier flashing stuff but I cant quite figure out where to make my first move, or if I should, flash carrier firmware. I would like to try Oreo beta but I damn sure don't want to brick a phone I have zero warranty on. Hard for me to get over the idea of having to buy another $1000 dollar phone outright. From what I understand, carriers like straight talk, metro, family mobile, etc. Is that the sims are basically like a carrier unlocked phone. The service provider pays the big carrier (also uses their branding) to use the towers. They call it piggy backing. So the service is exactly as if you would be paying straight to the big carrier but without the contract and unnecessary BS. From what I have read, all the firmware is exactly the same multi CSC. So when you flash firmware and then put your sim in it actually does it's own thing through carrier. I couldn't get the January security patch update to show until I added "fota" to my apn and then rebooted and like magic it was there. I pay 60$ a month for unlimited data and have used 41 GB as of today since January 18 with not even a slight throttle. Because I have had straight talk so long I wouldn't know what to look for as far as ATT extra csc features. But if you are willing to find out and let me know I would be happy to check my phone for them. I do have download booster in settings. I only know because with my note 4 sometimes i would and sometimes i wouldn't depending on what rom i was on. Butni don't see volte. Maybe all this ramble was a little helpful. Let me know if I can help in any other way. Im probably gonna copy most of this post and start a thread or at least ask in the other threads for some more info.

It's gsm. Mvno of T-Mobile. I have an unlocked xfinity sm-g955 s8+ right now and had to carrier switch/cross flash to tmk "u1" firmware to get the two features running. Someone told me that they got those features running on T-Mobile "u" firmware and I tried it but it did not work for me. I saw the volte switch on the menu but wifi switch did not show up in the T-Mobile firmware.
I was just wondering if the multi-csc loaded some of the features on first boot up on a like "u1" branded variant.

How about voice over LTE. That would be found under connections / mobile networks.

Greyed out only Wi-Fi is working right now on metro I'm assuming all carriers
Gosh why do the carriers in the USA make it so hard to flash firmware and enable WiFi calling and VOLTE. In Europe its as easy as going on sammobile and flashing the carrier software in odin for the exynos N950F/FD variant... Some networks (like EE in the UK) are even firmware agnostic and just allow WiFi calling and volte on most firmwares including the unbranded BTU. It's as crazy as verizon and sprint sticking to CDMA :/

So what I'm understanding from you is both options are available and you have it now enabled? If so then that's good to see.

Both Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE is enabled by default. I'm not sure if I'm using VoLTE when I'm making calls old phones I had had a vo in front of the let signal bar when making calls on the Samsung j7 I'm not getting that on the note 8. If I look at history calls there is a Wi-Fi picture when I make a call on Wi-Fi. But not on VoLTE
Hope it's working get better audio calls now when on phone my data speed is still downloading at 30mbs when I surf the web and talk at the same time

You can test it by making a call without it enabled, it will drop to H+ or h. If you have it enabled and you make a call it will stay on LTE the whole call.
