I recently got a new phone from AT&T. I haven't contacted them as I haven't felt it necessary yet. After recently switching from an iPhone 4, I love Android. I quickly rooted it with the Ping Pong method and installed apps such as Busy Box, Greenify, Nova Launcher, Clock Sync Adblock Plus, System Tuner, SD Maid, Titanium Backup, Uninstall, and etcetera. I listed almost all root applications due to it may being a problem with that. My phone worked fine for a while. I noticed it stopped working after some calls stopped coming through as well as texts. Randomly, I see that my texts don't go through, but after a quick restart it seems to work fine. I was wondering if there is any way of getting logs to help someone out there figure this out for me. If unrooting via SuperSU and then factory wiping my device would work please let me know. If there is any information I can provide you I will. The phone worked for the first week fine. Restarts seem to fix the issue until around ~6 hours of time using the device. It mainly sits next to me at my desk.
SMS doesn't go through or receive. Phone calls are not received (Have not tried outgoing). Cellular Data (4G/LTE) does not work.
--Edit:
I have frozen the OTA notifications from wsync. I also remove some bloatware thanks to System app remover (ROOT) by Jumobile. It gives you things that are not CRUCIAL to your system to remove. I removed a few things. Nothing relate to Samsung.
I'd make a backup backup of the phone using your favorite method (I seem to remember that titanium can do this), and try a factory reset to see if that fixes your problem. AoN

Well... Umm. dm-verify verifaction failed... So I'm guessing that I "bricked" my device. Guessing I have to plug it into my pc and do a flash somehow. Any info?
--Edit: Booted into my device with same settings. However I cannot do a factory restore as it always says dm-verify verification failed.
Beyond my knowledge. If the phone still functions, un freeze / restore all the system stuff you disabled, try again? But I'm just guessing. AoN
Use Odin to flash the factory OE2 firmware via PC.
If you're still having issues it may be a faulty SIM card.

Alright, I flashed everything. Re-rooted (I tested before root if the Cellular Data/Messages worked. Cellular data did not, but messages did (and haven't had issues after root). The cellular data still DOES NOT work. I live in a location where LTE is supported. Any info?

This may be s silly question but have you tried toggling the 2 switches under mobile networks/mobile data off then on? One of them is enhanced 4G LTE services. I read somewhere that this might help.

Call AT&T tech support and have them provision your data on the back end again. Just explain that everything works except your data. This can happen if there is a data block on your line or if someone used the my AT&T app to turn off data for lines on the account.
Are you able to make phone calls?
Do you see the 4G LTE logo at the top when wifi is turned off?

Have finally found the VoLTE settings on the phone but for some reason when I activate it using. *#*#4636#*# it deactivated as soon as I leave the page. Is this because my mobile provider (3 UK) doesn't support it on the Oneplus 3t?

Do you have the volte switch in your settings ?
VoLTE is a feature that is provisioned by your carrier. Most carriers will not provision VoLTE unless they have an open policy (allows all capable devices), or if you are using a carrier-branded phone. For the second option, lots of carriers claim that it is to ensure stability and quality of service, though I suspect that's all BS they spew in an attempt to sell more of their own phones.
Anyhow, try to find out if your carrier provisions VoLTE to unlocked/unbranded phones. If not, activating the VoLTE setting within the phone will not do anything.
I'm in an AT&T HD Voice coverage area.. never been able to use it or even see if it works. The build.prop edits seem to work for some but I've never been able to get it to work at all.. Could be AT&T blocking it of course since I don't have an AT&T device really on any of my 4 lines.. All unlocked non-carrier phones.

It is toggled on under status bar together with VoWifi but no idea how to activate it. I suspect my carrier doesn't allow it yet for this phone.
I seem to now have been able to activate it by *#800# but still no joy. I'm guessing this is due to three blocking it rather than my phone.
I use the VoLTE enabler in Magisk and once I enable and restart I have no issues. Workout it I don't get HD calling and any call I make, my phone drops from LTE to H. I'm on AT&T.
OP3T on Three UK. Been using crDroid Pie recently and i'm now able to make VoLTE calls. It comes and goes though. The options are in Settings and 'Enabled'. Phone Test shows VoLTE Provisioned. VoLTE icon show up in Status Bar.
Most of the time when i make a call i still see the Signal Icon drop from '4G' to 'H', but if i repeat dial a few times it latches on to VoLTE. I'm not sure why the inconsistency, but my 4G reception is weak and prone to disappearing entirely, so maybe that's why.
Three APN settings in ROM are same as always. No special 'ims' APN or settings.
@Eggstones
Edit: The package 'org.codeauora.ims' has been mentioned a few times for throwing up a 'Device is HD capable' Notification. I assume it's updates to this package that have enabled VoLTE?

I can get the volte to work fine but not the WiFi calling. I'd love to get that working ok.

As i said, it's working on Pie ROMs. It's not going to start working for you unless you update. It's impossible to say if the same will apply when OOS Pie is released. Maybe, maybe not.

No. I have never tried to install one. Not sure how to do it. I'm aware of various guides but haven't taken the plunge. The furthest I got was rooting some old phones.

You wouldn't need to Root. Everything else is a doddle on this phone. You might give it some thought. The obvious thing is to find out what the differences are and weigh up the pro's and cons. If Battery life is your absolute priority then OOS might be better. If wifi calling is your priority then custom ROMs are the answer. Gotta decide where you might gain, and where you might lose out.
If you decide to go for it, this is a good guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877
Of course that is for the OP5 so you wouldn't use the software linked in that thread, but the principal is the same. The equivelent software for this phone is available here. The guide gets you through the important steps of unlocking Bootloader and getting TWRP on your phone. Beyond that it's easy as Pie to get a custom ROM on your phone.
Just ask if you need help. I can link you to the files you'd need.
Thank you. I might give it a go later this week
Recently purchased an unlocked Note 8 Model SMN950UIZKAX from Best Buy to use on Verizon and was wanting to Flash Verizon software to it to get the advanced calling features and other Verizon stuff that is missing. My question is if I flash the latest firmware found on the Sam Mobile site for the SM-N950U1 for Verizon....I think from 9/15, would this enable the options? Is it possible to flash back to the Unlocked software once the Verizon software has been flashed if I decided to? Is there a better option other than flashing? Please be gentle because I have been out of the game for a while and want to make sure I am doing everything right.

-HD voice (VoLTE) can be turned on by calling verizon. *611. (For us U1 people)
-After 2 hours of talking to VZW, and lots of lots of reading here on the great XDA- The only way I have found that implies Video Calling will work on the U1 for VZW is to flash the carrier package above. Effectively turning your "unlocked" into a carrier branded phone.
-Per VZW, Wifi Calling simply will not work. (cant confirm or deny).
Personally hoping we find a way to flash the video calling / visual voicemail / wifi calling modules only without having to flash the entire firmware.
I flashed the sm-n950u firmware and all functions fully work with the exception of video calling due to a non Verizon IMEI.

I flashed the u not u1(which is my model #) via the Prince Comsy Odin found at:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-N950U/VZW/download/N950USQU1AQI5/188972/
Flash the BL in BL, AP in AP, CP in CP, CSC in CSC(not HOME_CSC), and the USERDATA in the UMS. To enable UMS ensure your using the Prince Comsy Odin, right click the Odin3.ini file and edit it, change UMS/PATCH=0 TO UMS/PATCH=1 and save. Flash all together and everything works except video calling because Verizon blocks it on their system if you're not using a Verizon IMEI#. There is a workaround though. If you put your sim card into a Verizon branded phone, boot it, then pull the sim and put it in your unlocked note 8, video calling works until you reboot and their system catches a non Verizon IMEI number hitting their network. Then it's automatically blocked. I started using Google Duo instead and I'm happy. Wi-Fi calling, VoLTE, and Visual Voicemail are all working great.

You can just flash the USERDATA in UMS, but you won't have WiFi calling.

Visual voicemail requires USERDATA or complete flash...after root, we can edit buildprop and get vvm working on unlocked. There is a way to edit buildprop via adb but you must know the vvm settings to add...i am looking into doing it for my Sprint but am debating because I am liking Google voice better
for Verizon on unlocked...some have called to have WiFi calling and VoLTE added to their imei #, or the imei # added to their database so that the device can receive an update enabling those features...Sprint has features enabled for any imei as long as the SIM is one on their records...problem is getting a Verizon rep that will know what to do with the imei...good luck

What specifically did you flash for VVM?
Follow the instructions in post #8 and you will have vvm. I had to call after and they had to activate it under my new IMEI but overall not as arduous as trying to get them to add my IMEI to their database for Video Calling (I still haven't found a rep to do it).

What phone did you have prior to the Note 8? Video Calling & VoLTE is super easy to get working
I had the note 4 for a while, seems Verizon has blocks that can all be removed by admin with the exception of video calling. Wheather I log in and try to remove the block or an admin, it automatically re-enables the lock due to the IMEI not being a Verizon phone. I found a trick to get the lock off but when I reboot my note 8 their system picks up a non Verizon IMEI and defaults back to locked. I have a request to have my IMEI added, but it's been a week already and it still kicks back on. Wish I knew a Verizon admin with the juice, if they haven't added it in a few days then I'll try again but if they won't add it then it's Duos, hangouts, or FB messenger for Video Calling my U1. Wish I could spoof my IMEI, maybe I'll look that up later today, but it's probably chip based.

I've been using my U1 with Video Calling since 9/5 without issues, features stay on the account unless you remove them.
Do you still have the Note 4? If I recall that was the first VZW device with WiFi Calling/VoLTE, if you enable the features on the account they stay on. I've been using unlocked devices since ~2012 & they have always worked without issues accept WiFi Calling which requires VZW firmware
Not working like that for me. Every time I reboot automatically blocks video calling.
So, I made the choice: I took my unlocked back and swapped for the VZW branded one.
I was under the impression "unlocked" was the bootloader when I bought the U1, but yea, it wasn't lol. I was tired of trying to get everything to work on the U1 and some of big reds features are really neat. A few hundred MB space wasted on bloat is no big deal to me, and I have never left the USA in my life, so VZW is fine.. With things like BK disabler, it really makes dealing with carrier bloat ALOT better then on the say S4 where you couldn't turn it off (stock, luckily there was awesome root/roms). I literally turn everything off from VZW I dont want with BK, deny their permissions and clear data, and they can just rot hidden away.
I have noticed The U1 comes with free ultra caller ID spam thing, the VZW doesn't have this, that I can find. Talking to VZW now to figure out why I don't have this feature on my new phone for free when the unlocked has it. EDIT: Dunno if I would recommend switching anymore, that caller ID is very nice and used WAY more then wifi calling for me. Wifi calling ONLY works when the phone has no mobile signal period. Which kinda defeats the purpose I wanted it for was to save minutes. (Thought it would make calls over WifI when connected like data, but that isnt the case) The VZW version is also missing the built in clean master, which I also enjoyed. Its like you trade 3 samsung features for 3 VZW, cant have them all and Im getting upset with big red honestly.
If and when we get root, it wont matter which phone we have from what I read, because it will come from an ENG firmware which can be flashed on anything.
So the only Verizon app I would like working on my unlocked u1 note 8 is NFL mobile. I literally don't use any of the other ones and personally like how clean my note 8 was out of the box. Is there any short fix to get that working or would I have to go through the whole way of flashing the vzw firmware a few steps back? I don't mind some, but I just got the phone how I want it lol so I don't want to do it if I don't have to.
Does anyone have a Gear S3(AT&T LTE version) and got it to work with NumberSync on their International Note 8(SM-N950F)? AT&T chat seems to have no clue as to why it won't work(I'm basically thinking since it's an international version and not branded At&T), but the reps can't confirm that. They just say buy a new device that is NumberSync capable, but when I ask them which phones are those, they can't give me an answer..
They thought it was my IMEI, which at the AT&T store, they had to spoof the IMEI from my Moto X Pure Style to get the 4G/LTE to work correctly.
It would just be great to have the NumberSync to work, but I have no problems with the Bluetooth connection for now.

Have you tried reseting the watch?Numbersync works in part with the stock messaging app. AT&T advanced messaging syncs your messages to the server and then it gets forwarded to your Gear. For numbersync to work on the international version you will most likely need to odin the AT&T stock image since it wont have the Advance messaging or try installing the advance messaging files. I've had my fair share of numbersync issues but eventually it got better with my S3/S8+ and now Note 8.

Hmmm... I see you have a US version of the Note 8, so you're probably in a better situation than I am atm. My Note 8 on my account only shows up as unknown device. I haven't been on this page as much since rooting my phone, so I'll follow up on the CSC flashing or ODIN AT&T image, if that's possible now. I'll look for Advance messaging as well. I know the Gear S3 still shows that when not in bluetooth or Wi-FI, it shows remotely connected, I still get notifications of miss calls from my phone, so it's sending me notifications in that sense, limited...
Thanks for the mentioned options, I'll look into them.
I tried to access NumberSync through my account but it says note 8 not compatible
Make sure you are signed into the myAT&T app. It uses that to sync your info/number.
Hi All,
I have been trying to follow all of these threads and waiting to get my hands on some VZW firmware since I am on verizon. I was rocking the Unlocked firmware but with only VOLTE , which is ok but I wanted to have backup for WIFI-Calling. I noticed in the other thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ock-odin-files-firmware-t3833205/post77449285) a user said to use Sam Mobile to download the firmware which Took about 5 hours. I figured the APP could maybe pull it if I typed in the right Model and Region. I tried using some different ones and the one that worked was the model : SM-N960U1 with "VZW" as the region. I have attached the screen shot and also uploaded to google drive for people to easily download.. Enjoy !!! The exciting thing is I used Odin with the said files on top of running the unlocked firmware and used the Home CSC and my data was kept safe. Basically everything was the same and it included the crappy Verizon apps but now I have wifi-calling .. sorry just a little excited..
The full Firmware name is this : N960U1UEU1ARH2/N960U1OYM1ARH2/N960U1UEU1ARH2/N960U1UEU1ARH2

By flashing the VZW firmware you also lose the samsung cloud and also the places and Caller ID/Spam feature. Maybe more but that is as much as I can tell.

One thing I just noticed is that, using android messages was I thought working 100 % but then I had people calling me saying they were texting me and I wasn't getting them.. They would get the SMS I sent but I would not be able to recieve. I switched to the Samsung Native app and bam my messages were there. I don't know if thats because I did not wipe first before doing ODIN or not ..

This is a common issues with newer Samsung phones. Their implementation of Advanced Messaging is half-assed and unfortunately you almost always have to stick with their SMS app to not have issues. Luckily the app has been updated a lot since the S7 days and is no longer a steaming pile of garbage.
XAA wifi calling is working fine with me.

Are you using Verizon as your wireless carrier? How did you turn it on?
My note 9 (unlocked XAA) doesn't have any options to turn on Wifi calling when my Verizon SIM is inserted. But Wi-Fi Calling turns on with a notification in the shade, and I can toggle via phone>menu>setting>wifi calling, when my T-Mobile SIM is in the phone.
@KidJoe
I did this on My device, Unlocked to VZW. It worked.
Wifi calling is located in Settings>Connections>Advanced Calling. Make sure you have a proper cel signal when you activate it.
Notes:
- As OP mentioned, Use the Home CS file and all of your existing settings, apps, etc won't get wiped.
- I was surprised that there were only like 6-7 crapps that came from Verizon. Mostly Yahoo mail and a couple games. The Verizon "Security & Privacy" and Cloud apps cannot be removed. I kept the voicemail and caller ID apps.
Otherwise, it seems like a pretty quick and easy fix.

Will you describe your process of firmware flashing to get this result please?
Also, out of the following which do you have?:
Samsung built in Caller ID/Spam
Samsung Cloud
WiFi calling works for Verizon, correct?

that is after flashing the rom in the OP though, right? (I mean that is how it is on my VZW branded Note8, GS9 and Gs8. Yes I have many phones.. don't ask)
I was reading NICEGYPT's post as if it was done on the unlocked without flashing which is why I asked.
Question though. Since I did flash my VZW branded GS8 with the unlocked/unbranded to get the Oreo beta, and back .. for that phone there were more steps than just flashing the rom... Requiring a factory binary and other home csc file, etc. That doesn't appear to be needed non the note 9, is that correctly?

Sorry man! I over looked the wifi calling. I don't have wifi calling at all. But I have rest you mentioned working fine. Caller ID, Samsung Cloud, Samsung visual voicemail.
for samsung cloud, cant you just install it?

Guys, Samsung Cloud is already there but hidden, to get it to show, do this:
use QuickShortCutMaker to run Samsung Cloud, then within the app, choose "Show Samsung Cloud Icon" which will show with the apps.

Is there a way to get Samsung caller id/spam feature?
thank you for posting this! Will definitely try tonight on my unlocked Note 9 from BB, I did not realize that ordering the unlocked would disable wifi-calling with verizon.
Question: Will flashing the verizon firmware over my unlocked note 9 enable sending SMS via Wifi using the Android Messages app?
I'll be going on travel overseas, Wifi-calling is definitely nessasary for me, and sending SMS via Wifi using the stock android texting app would be icing on the cake
I also have US Unlocked from BB but on Verizon network.
Just to make sure that flashing this Firmware does not require OEM Unlock and won't disable Knox ?
hello
you don't need to reflash the firmware N960U and N960U1 are multi CSC so :
save all your data
- Power off the device
- remove the sim tray.
- Go to recovery , HOLD home ( or bixby button ) + Volume up together , and power up
- In recovery , chose factory reset .. This will give a warning and then reset everything
- Choose power off , in the recovery and insert sim tray .. you should do this before booting up as your CSC will be configured when you will start
- Power on the phone , wait and . then chose restart to system now when asked
- wait and after reboot , your CSC have change according the sim tray
some peoples do this without remouving the sim tray

Yes, it will be enabled. My text messages go through wifi when I am at a location where there are no cellphone signals but wi-fi.
