I recently purchased a Note 10 liter to replace my broken note 8. I am on Verizon and I bought a carrier unlocked phone.
I do not see the wifi calling feature to enable it on the phone and the seller told me that I would need a carrier locked phone for this feature.
Is there anything I can do to enable this feature? I am ok with installing a ROM in order to do so.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Hi, I don't know if Verizon is similar to AT&T but I had to not only flash the AT&T bloatware, I had to use my old SIM card that had previously been used in an AT&T carrier branded phone & in their system for a time (for me it was over a year) to get all of the expected features. Wifi calling, visual voicemail, HD voice & video.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am using the SIM card from my old phone in the new Note 10 lite. Maybe I need to wait for a while.
Is there a site I can download the Verizon apps from to install them?
thanks

I assume this is an International or Latin American version?
I'm guessing you can use the Frija app to get the firmware & a specific Odin to flash the software. Search here on XDA for answers. Maybe you won't be able to flash us carrier software on a foreign model?

The Note 10 lite is an International Device. There are no roms to flash as there is no Twrp. The only way a rom can be flashed is creating a rom that is like a Magisk module and flash it that way. As of now none exist. Usually you need a At&t csc zip or whatever carrier you are using and flash the csc with Twrp. And i don't believe there is a carrier version of the 10 lite. The 10 lite already has volte. I have been using mine on At&t with At&t sim and there is no wifi calling. You can unlock the bootloader and root. I wrote up a how to guide on rooting. The only thing you can do is call your carrier and see what they can do. But I know I have tried this before on At&t with an international device and they said they were unable to activate wifi calling on that device

The only time I have seen wifi calling work on a International device used in United States is with a custom rom with csc from different carriers cooked into the rom. In my experience International phones do not support this right out of the box. So yes its easy to say "works for me" when you live in the region the phone was made for..lol.

I know this is a year old post, but I just picked up a Vietnamese Note 10 Lite, and wifi calling works just fine on T-Mobile in the US.
Just in case anyone else had the same question at some point.

I just opened my T-Mobile S6 and updated to 5.1.1 G920T1UVU2COF9.
Do you have any idea on how to downgrade?
Root?
Flash ROMs?
are you on TMOBILE or METRO PCS? Just curious really - the stock rom you mentioned is the official release from METRO PCS G920T1 - back when the S6 was first released a number of people on TMO flashed the Metro PCS Stock rom to help simplify unlocking the SIM - so it should be compatible with either TMO or Metro PCS phones..
If that stock release is anything like the latest TMOBILE - yuo cannot go back to the previous version - but you might be able to root it using the odin flashable Uni-Kernel here - GOOD LUCK
they are clearly testing something @ T-Mobile, because someone else reported getting G920TUVU20F8
yours is 0F9
Screenshot btw?

I updated to the OFB bootloader and modem on my T-mobile phone and the unlock still works, so yes. Yes yo can root after that with unikernel in the unified s6/s6edge section.

Make sure to use the newest version of odin to flash these. Bootloader goes in BL slot and modem goes into CP slot, also uncheck auto reboot in options and reboot phone manually once its done flashing. :good:

I am on COF9 because I needed to SIM unlock as well, and I'm rooted and use TWRP 2.8.7.1. Currently running XtreSoLite 2.2 but disappointed because I do not have WiFi Calling or VoLTE. I'm guessing it's because MetroPCS doesn't offer either. I'm currently trying to find a way to keep SIM unlock and have VoLTE and WiFi calling for when I swich back to my T-Mo SIM. Don't know anything about COFB and not sure there's any benefit to going through all the ridiculous hoops just to upgrade. Anyone else know?
I've got the ODIN for COF9, but it's massive.. like 3.6gb and not sure where to post. I spent probably 6 hours downloading from sammobile. It sucked.
No, I just changed it to model 920i.
Try a few things, but that T-Mobile I found no ROMS or anything, so I gave up on it.

Try talking with @stifilz2 he can sim unlock s6 tmo variant. I was running g920t1 because of the unlock code. But i flashed tmos latest update and bootloader was updated so i was sim lock again and stock with new update. So stifilz helped me aout it took him 4 min and he unlocked my phone (again) and he only ask for small donation...

That's exactly what I did! He got back to me within an hour and unlocked in a matter of minutes! I then ODIN'd back to full stock t-mo and rooted and couldn't be happier!
I donated via PayPal because he did what no one was even offering.

Can I flash the T-Mobile firmware on my unlocked note 9 snapdragon? I believe I can. The reason I'm saying this is because I had a note 8 on T-Mobile working well on Sprint before. It was originally a t mobile device that I had unlocked. when putting in the Sprint sim card the device auto configured itself. Will the same thing happen if I flash the T-Mobile rom and use my sprint sim?
Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk
Possibly. The note 8 and 9 are similar in that it is really only 1 US model and just the firmware changes. Basically with a US snapdragon you can flash any official firmware from a carrier and it should work fine, the only difference being something unique to the note 8 tmo rom that did something special when you put it on sprint. Also , because this way of flashing really isn't rooting or anything, you would have nothing to lose and could always flash back.

Works great...wifi calling works, carrier branding with Sprint logo on boot...WiFi calling works...strange that the install did not wipe my user data... VoLTE works by default...maybe enabled after I enabled wifi calling??? For outgoing and incoming calls...very stable...though my dark theme doesn't look right on some settings screens.
RCS works natively in the Samsung messages app.
Can not edit APNs anymore though the old methods though.
Any other Sprint users try this out???

It was not before the Android 9.0 update... Android 8.1 did not show any branding, but the Android 9.0 does. Similar to how the Samsung s8 was when you could switch carrier branding on the fly

This is what's confusing me to be honest. My T-Mobile Note 8 U model rebranded to Sprint when I inserted a Sprint sim card. I didn't think U1 models did this for the note 8 /S8 or 9 ? I thought brand switching only worked on unlocked carrier branded U variants.

It's a U firmware what? Reference your first sentence.
I'm aware that any U firmwares are compatible with the USA SD devices. However, my question was about OP flashing his U1 non carrier specific SD device to Pie and it branded to Sprint apparently. That's the part that confuses me.

Then flashed the rom in the instructions to install the Android 9 pie J1 firmware. Before I had a Samsung splash, now I have a Sprint splash.
I have an unlocked Verizon Note 9 and was wanting to use T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling and voLTE capability. Is there a simple way to convert it into a TMobile note 9 to enable features? Step by step instructions would be useful.

You need to flash unlock firmware SM-960U1 Then after that you need to flash Tmobile's firmware. You need to use Odin 3.13.1.

I have an unlocked Note 9 and both wifi calling and VoLTE work fine. The Wifi calling is in the phone app under settings. It's not I. The connection settings. I have been using WiFi calling with T-Mobile just fine on my unlocked Note 9 US version.
Does wifi calling work on Verizon with unlocked phone? I just ordered mine from Sammy.

Sorry, I didn't gather from the previous response what the proper steps are to convert an unlocked Verizon Note 9 to a T-Mobile Note 9. I need WiFi calling, and the Verizon firmware doesn't allow that option to be turned on, even though I do have the service available through T-Mobile.
Is there a step by step tutorial? Could you please offer a link? Thanks!
Well, as the title says, when I enter settings and then system updates, it starts to search for an update, but the after like 20 secs it stops and says "We have troubles authenticating your device, please try again later"
My note 9 is model SM-N960U and it's original carrier, is Verizon. I'm in Mexico tough, but it is unlocked, maybe that has to do with the problem? Any help appreciated.
I have a unlocked 960U1 with Verizon and am in the US. No update available. Maybe it is rolling out to Mexican customers only?

You don't lose VoLTE on unlocked firmware unless you have ATT. Think OP said he was on Verizon. It works fine. Wi-Fi Calling would be lost (which is weird since they got that working on unlocked with S9 series, too).
Not sure what carrier he is on he said it was a Verizon phone that's unlocked but he was in Mexico so he might be able to get it I am on att and didn't know other carriers let you have volte thanks for the correction

To be clear, the phone is from Verizon. The active CSC is VZW, as I mentioned, the phone is unlocked and I use it in Mexico with TELCEL carrier, i DON'T have VoLTE nor wifi calling (TELCEL only has VoLTE) the model is N960U. Do you think there is a way to get VoLTE and/or flash an 960U1 software even though mine is 960U?

you can flash the u1 firmware just be sure to back up your data because the flash will erase your phone
