LG V40 (verizon), rooted with Android 9, no wifi calling - LG V40 Questions & Answers

I got my V40 remotely unlocked and rooted. Having issues with BusyBox saying it's not installed. I'm not sure what device I should say I'm using on TWRP.
More importantly, I no longer have wifi calling and that renders my phone useless to me. At home I have no service so cannot call or text.
Can I use another ROM or a stock ROM to get the wifi calling and retain the unlocked bootloader and root?

ditto in the same boat. i also lost access to visual voicemail.
subscribed, will update you if I figure it out

Try enabling it in the svc menu and see if the setting for it comes up. Y'all are on US carriers so I can't really help much, not familiar with most of 'em. Short of it is, some options only show up when carrier and phone model jive. i.e. carrier supports the setting and phone model. Some are just simply carrier specific, meaning if you're not using the carrier fw, you're never gonna see the setting.

Sometimes you can get the options to pop up with a couple build prop tweaks. Ive used am on my mate se and my S8. But even then its hit or miss.

I'm not sure if you figured it out (I'm still trying to get wifi calling back), but I found a great visual voicemail app called youmail. It lets you do a lot of neat stuff the stock visual vm doesn't.

Call Problems

Don't know if this issue has been addressed but my Nexus 6 is 2 months old. Recently no one I call can hear me but if they call me back everything is fine. My phone is completely stock running 5.01 on Cricket Mobile with LTE working everywhere I go. Any thoughts or suggestions? I bought this phone straight from Motorola if this makes a difference.

Have you ever received notification for an OTA to 5.1?
---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------
Sorry for OT question first.
No, have never received it yet! Been frustrated by this but since I paid $700 out of pocket was worried about doing it myself. Has this been addressed in 5.1?

Well, I've been searching the Q&A forum for this and at first, I haven't found what I'm looking for. I know I've read of this issue before though. If you want to try to get the OTA, here's a simple way:
Power off your Nexus. Remove the Sim card. Power on and let it sit for a while. Reminder, you won't be able to call or receive calls for this time. The OTA should appear shortly, especially if connected to WiFi. Install OTA and let the phone do its thing. Once all is said and done, reinsert your Sim.
Yeah, I have seen this problem on different forums myself with really no clear cut answer. Thanks I will try that for my update and let you know how it goes as far as the calls. Thanks!

Do you have the option there, to update PRL and device config? If so, update both if you have not.

I have no option for updating the prl. Also it gave me no options. I typed the code in and then it just disappeared from the dialer? By the way, thanks a bunch for trying to help me figure this problem out!

No problem at all. Then it appears the Sprint issues do not apply here. Also, in settings>more>cellular networks, is your "Preferred network settings" set to global or LTE (recommended)?
It is set to LTE

As it should be, but you could try switching to global to see if there's any improvement. I think the OTA may solve this as well.
There is no option to switch back to global. After a factory reset it is in global mode if changed to LTE it will not go back. Also, I'm at work so WiFi in my part of the plant is very weak so should I wait until I get home to do the sim pull and then let my phone try to receive the OTA maybe overnight on my home Wi-Fi?

That would be ideal. I'm sorry we couldn't get it straight but I'm confident that we tried all of the stock options available. Your bootloader is locked, right?
Yes, bootloader is locked. And thanks for trying. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow
So I did what you said as far as powering off, removing Sim and powering up. Let it sit all night like this connected to WiFi and still no OTA for 5.1 Also factory reset this morning and now I can't even receive calls and people hear me. Beyond frustrated!

Are you able to contact the provider and have them reactivate? That might be necessary. You may want to consider unlocking the bootloader, at this point, since you've already factory reset. You could then flash the factory image.

SM-N950U1 Flash to Verizon software

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.

Is it possible to flash the Verizon on a Unlocked to get the Visual Voicemail then flash back to Unlocked or you have to remain Verizon to keep Visual Voicemail?

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.

What items don't work on the unlocked Note 8 on Sprint?

So just got the Unlocked Note 8. Had a little trouble activating it online but calling Sprint they were able to do it.
Now I know it doesn't have any of the pre-loaded Sprintware stuff on it. I don't really care about any of that. only one I ever used might have been SprintZone.
I don't need VM cause I used GoogleVoice. Though oddly enough to activate call forwarding on this phone I had to use the old *28 command. the new *73 command didn't work.
Anything else I'm missing I may or may not care about?

wifi-calling, sprint voicemail, sprint zone
Sprint Zone (My Sprint) works but you need to manually download it from the PlayStore.
Wifi calling also seems to work but extra steps to get to it. Open the Dialer, hit the 3 button in the top right. select settings, scroll to the bottom and turn on Wifi.
Sprint VM I think is definitely a no go since there is no App to download.

unlocked sgs10 from samsung questions

i got the s10 from tmobille because i thought it would have the multiline capability to use digits natively. since that is no longer a feature i was wondering if there is any benefit to returning the phone and getting an unlocked one from samsung. will i lose any features? if so can i recover the features by flashing tmobile software on the unlocked model? also does samsung allow you to unlock the bootloader on that model?
Are you sure digits doesn't work? It should if you set it up right, with unlocked you would lose native video calling and rcs messaging, no point to return your phone, just flash u1 firmware if you want to remove tmo bloat
---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------
No you cannot unlock bootloader unless you buy exynos
Yes, digits worked just fine on my unlocked version, RCS worked for me as well. I had a video call option in the native dialer, but never actually used it, so I can't confirm video calling working.

Can I install stock AT&T ROM on an unlocked S10 from Samsung

I just got my new unlocked S10 all set up dialed in. Model SMG973U1ZBAX.
I put in my AT&T SIM card in and went to turn on Wifi calling and couldn't find it. I've since learned that if you have an unlocked phone, you can USE the AT&T network, but you can't get Wifi calling (which is a must for me), Visual Voicemail or HD Voice.
Instead of flat out returning it, can I just flash the AT&T ROM and it would be as if it was a a stock AT&T phone?
I know I would get all the bloatware and stuff like that, But I have to have wifi calling.
Are there links yet to Stock AT&T ROM for the S10? I couldn't find any on the site.
Thanks

Yes you can there's a thread somewhere in here with specifics on how to do it. I know you have to flash thru patched Odin and make sure you also flash userdata and csc to corresponding carrier.

Root is unrelated to firmware flashing. You only need Odin and the fw package. Your computer may, or may not need the Samsung USB drivers to be recognized.
Samfirm can be used to pull updates. You might find it on sammobile or updato, haven't checked.

Sigh. Well. I can report and confirm that you can not use Wifi calling on the AT&T network with an unlocked S10.
Even though I loaded stock AT&T firmware, and was up to date, it just won't work. Gotta return the phone.
I've been dealing with their advanced tech team for over a week and they said that because the IMEI number shows it's an unlocked phone, the system keeps denying Wifi calling.
We actually got it to work at one point. It was a 3 day process with one of their techs forcing my IMEI number through their system. It worked for about an hour, then their system caught it and kicked out it's provisioning.

Galaxy S10 unlocked ATT firmware question
Hi I recently got Galaxy S10 Unlocked phone on online. At first i didnt get ATT wifi calling options appeared in my phone. Later i followed same thread that has 973U ATT firmware links, and flashed using ODIN. I can see all ATT apps and ATT wifi calling option now but i cannot enable it. When i enable it i got a message saying we cannot turn on WIFI calling on this a device and error code EDS0008. I tried to call ATT folks, but they are saying WIFI calling and HD voice is not supported on this unlocked device. Somehow they are seeing 973U1 as model number, but i had 973U as model number. I tried chaining sim to old iphone and I saw WIFI calling is working with IPHONE, but its just this phone I am seeing error. I am not sure what to do now. Did you see this issue ?
Can you give me exactly about the files you used and post steps to get att wifi calling ?
sorry for posting questions in multiple threads
I have an unlocked S10e and I use T-Mobile and before even flashing T-Mo firmware, I did have WiFi calling out of the box. Change carrier

Hi I recently got Galaxy S10 Unlocked phone on online. At first i didnt get ATT wifi calling options appeared in my phone. Later i followed same thread that has 973U ATT firmware links, and flashed using ODIN. I can see all ATT apps and ATT wifi calling option now but i cannot enable it. When i enable it i got a message saying we cannot turn on WIFI calling on this a device and error code EDS0008. I tried to call ATT folks, but they are saying WIFI calling and HD voice is not supported on this unlocked device. Somehow they are seeing 973U1 as model number, but i had 973U as model number. I tried chaining sim to old iphone and I saw WIFI calling is working with IPHONE, but its just this phone I am seeing error. I am not sure what to do now. Did you see this issue ?
Can you give me exactly about the files you used and post steps to get att wifi calling ?
sorry for posting questions in multiple threads

Your best bet is to do an exchange for an AT&T version.
You can Flash the AT&T firmware. But there will be no way in h*** for you to actually enable the Wi-Fi calling feature since they block those IMEI numbers on their servers. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO REVERT IT BACK TO THE OTHER FIRMWARE.

Quick question for ya:
YOU HAVE BEEN REPLIED TO. WHY CAN'T THEY JUST REFLASH THE PHONE WITH STOCK U1 FIRMWARE?

This is absolutely not true. I just switched my unlocked S10 (u1) to the ATTfirmware and Wifi calling is working great with no issues turning it on at all.

That's great to know badbread. Did you use the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/how-to/s10e-g973u-g973u1-firmware-links-t3905852 for the firmware files.
I haven't attempted this before so I thought I'd ask before screwing anything up.
Thanks.

Yes, that post and a couple others. Pretty painless process TBH.
I can confirm Wifi calling works, HD voice and a WAY WAY WAY better signal. Prior to flashing to ATT I could barely use my phone on my subway ride home... Now it works very well the entire trip.

I successfully flashed and am now seeing the ATT bloatware but WIFI calling and visual voicemail, etc are saying "OOPS! We can't turn onWi-Fi calling for your account. I'm going to attempt to flash with the clean boot version and see if that changes anything. Did you do anything different or additional to get it up and running. Not sure if it matters but I'm in Southern CA.
Has anyone else been successful in adding wifi calling, hd voice, etc?
I'm using build G973U SF6 with USERDATA_ATT_G973USQU2ASF6.
I'm on a US Unlocked Galaxy 10.

I'm away from the computer I did it on but I used the SAT1 firmware file and then manually updated all the way back up to the June update.
The updating part is/was a major PITA as it wiped the device each time. I'm hoping i'll get OTA's when they are released. Time will tell.
I'm in the Bay Area on ATT and it activated right away on the base february firmware I installed initially. Also I don't think I did any userdata stuff as I don't remember choosing it... I'll update this post tonight when I can check all the files I d/loaded on my machine at home.
Couple other things:
I can't find it right now but I followed a post that stated to make sure the SIM and SD card were removed during the flashing process. Not sure if that makes a difference.

did you ever run the unlocked firmware on ATT or did you flash to att before ever using an active sim? i had heard some speculation that once you run an unlocked phone, then it gets registered as "non att"... keep in mind this is 3rd hand info and hearsay.
edit. i guess i failed to read you short post... i see "prior to flashing" spelled out for me right there....

Any chance you found those other posts you mentioned above? I continue to be unable to get wifi calling on my phone.
By the way for anyone else, while I did not get wifi calling, visual voicemail, etc. I do see an improvement on my cell reception over the ATT network.
Ops sorry, thought I replied.
Here it is:

I followed those steps exactly.
