Using the tmobile cellphone sim on my US 32GB LTE version worked fine for a few hours and then it didn't. I had to replace the sim with a data version. Interestingly, even my data version has a telephone number... I wonder if sms would work... hmm...
[Shield Tablet General] bob60626:
T-Mobile tablet plans have sms.
[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
Yes, I know this a is a necro, but pertinent.

First a link to the post where info about the version support calling is pulled from the FAQs: http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/general/international-version-supporting-phone-t2937124

Now, a link to a thread that got me hunting for the wx_un_mo builds: http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/general/shield-tablet-otas-t2847116

wx_un_do = LTE , unlocked, RoW (current data only version ROMs)

wx_na_wf = Wifi (current wifi version ROMs)

wx_na_do = LTE , unlocked, US AT&T branded (current AT&T data only version ROMs)

wx_un_mo = ???? (Appears to be the previously planned and now MIA version that allowed calling?)
[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
Performed a bit of an experiment.

Starting at 1.2 wx_na_do which came on the tablet.

I had run the OTA wx_un_do for 1.2.1 for the LTE Data only (did that yesterday actually when I rooted, etc).

Today, decided to back everything up. Did not bother wiping anything.

used CWM to sideload the OTA for wx_un_mo 1.2 (Yes, the lower/only version found).

Install succeeded. All my apps remained.

Reboot found the phone dialer as part of the system apps.

Attempts to dial cause the phone to disconnect (starts to dial, then drops the signal completely). Not even emergency service (911) attempts would dial. I do not have a SIM that fits for my current provider (thinking of getting one tomorrow to test).

I did not get the "Calls are not supported" message as reported earlier in the thread when someone tried using a dialer on the standard well known LTE ROM.

Re-ran the LTE 1.2.1 OTA via CWM. It removed the phone app and the system setting XML files along with the firmware that would allow it to launch.

At least it is pretty clear now the wx_un_mo was the phone model that has been left in limbo (likely cancelled given the lack of newer builds for it).

Hopefully someone smarter than I will be able to make use of that ROM and the files therein to figure out what need be done to make a working system that supports voice calling.

Hi there! I took a quick look on the productConfig.bin;

and.. the good news is:

the header is at offset position 8 block 8-9 checksum. SUM is: from position 20 to EOF (value flipped)

..

the bad news:

The file seems also signed with RSA.

just got it /yesterday

:good:

if a signed productConfig.bin appear;

on LTE it would require a framework-res.apk ( \res\values\bools.xml ) with the values;

The RSA sginature seems to be EOF - ( FF + 1 )
[Shield Tablet General] Shaky156:
Hi, just wanted to inform you, to get the calling feature working the whole OTA would need to be applied, including blob binary, permissions, boot.img etc and this would require a clean flash, the catch is that this may or may not render the device unusable/bricked as this has not been tested, what I can assure is that the using half and half wont work, nor will replacing only system partition, it is important the whole OTA is flash ( I do not accept any responsibility for bricking/unusable shield tablets if anyone applies this method)
[Shield Tablet General] Metalfoxy:
Hopefully someone can look into this, also would donate in the end. :good:
[Shield Tablet General] xiodes:
Here is what I tested:

I have the European LTE version of the shield and am using a data/voice compatible SIM that I tested in another Android phone before. Data on the stock ROM worked too.

1. I have installed the wx_un_mo 1.2 OTA:

The phone app was there, though when I try to call I loose network for a short moment and just get an error message.

2. I've downloaded the NVidia sources (for Android 5.0.1) and compiled them with wx_un_mo set as target version:

I've got the phone app again, but same thing as before happened. If I try to call, I loose my connection.

I think we need to modify the baseband to enable phone calling (and other LTE bands), but I have no Idea how that would be done.

Data connections did work in every case, though I could only test 3G as the pre-paid card that I use does not support LTE.
[Shield Tablet General] entelekia:
Same here... In my case, after compiling 2.1, Camera didn't work either...
[Shield Tablet General] Shaky156:
I just want to point out it looks as if Nvidia has implemented voice calling with the latest update, so if our devices modem hardware supports voice calling then it just needs activated at by software.

Nvidias Awesome!
[Shield Tablet General] ssj3hulk:
Where did you see this? I can only send and receive SMS messages, no voice calling option...
[Shield Tablet General] Shaky156:
Check whats under your /system/vendor/firmware/icera
[Shield Tablet General] ssj3hulk:
There is another folder with the same files... Which one of these is related to voice calling?
[Shield Tablet General] jefferai:
I know, this is the best feature! No burn-in to ruin things.
[Shield Tablet General] masmgt:
Fininancing a calling apk

Let´s get up a pool for development of a calling app. I am good for $20USD for a working app.
[Shield Tablet General] 2me3:
I'd have 20 dollar on voice compatibility.

Is there a gofundme type bounty service? First developer gets the pot
[Shield Tablet General] dryrain:
id match that

Id match that money and add it to the pot.

I just saw the dialer but couldnt access it
[Shield Tablet General] tychomat:
Hear hear! I'm in too.
[Shield Tablet General] trollkatt:
[QRCODE][/QRCODE]

And my axe!!

I mean, I'm interested in the dialler too (and willing to finance it)!
[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
FYI - the wx_un_mo ROM does not have the charging whine I experienced with the wx_un_do ROM.

Might be another reason to try and do more research on that ROM besides havign a dialer and part of the voice calling support.

It would be really nice if NVIDIA would give a full version of that ROM somewhere instead of just the OTA update that was found.
[Shield Tablet General] AyuCon:
I'd give $50 for this :D
[Shield Tablet General] dryrain:
As saddend as I am that nobody wants to take my money, I thought I'd share an update of my situation.

My phone broke yesterday day and as a stop gap I put my sim into my shield to see what I could get out of it before buying another phone. Using Google hang out I can make and receive texts to my sim number and make calls out via sim. Unfortunately I can't receive calls to that number or it would be an almost perfect fix. It will ring but give the unavailable or engaged tone.

Appart from my own bugbears that I'm using Google its OK and I'm off to get some Bluetooth head phones so I don't have this slab to my head for calls.

My tablet is rooted but I don't think that has given me any thing extra in this case.

I would still be up for a native solution if anyone is chasing this.

Cheers

I've run a build of my CM 12.1 with all the voice bits flipped on. I think there's firmware stuff missing, however. But for those interested in tinkering with this, have at it. Maybe someone else will be able to find what I'm missing.

Edit:

After some poking around, I've came to the same conclusion as this post. The only thing that needs changed is the voice tag and the wideband tags. The byte count in the header could probably be fixed, but the RSA signature won't be circumvented so easily. Blehg. We can see the fix, but can't actually get to it.
[Shield Tablet General] Lucas VT:
Hi Steel01 do you still working on it?

i tried you rom with my european model tablet and wen i try to make a call the sim card seems to be disconected for a moment and quickly reconected by the sistem.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Shield Tablet General] Quasimiyao:
Hi, I also have the European LTE version, Norway, and would love to be able to make calls as a backup for my phone. Have you found out anything new? I'll be looking around too, and of course post here should I find something :)
[Shield Tablet General] Steel01:
The signature is still not circumventable. Without the signing keys, it doesn't seem we'll be able to make it work.
[Shield Tablet General] Thrice369:
Maybe still a T-Mobile LTE Phone Alternative?

Hey bud, Been reading through the forums for a fix to access the same thing you are trying to access and you seem to be the one who got the farthest.

Well, I have a possible alternative that is a partial win... If we can figure out how to get the tablet to request connection to the mobile network like a phone, the tablet can at least be used as an LTE device on a phone plan. Like for T-Mobile :fingers-crossed:
[Shield Tablet General] Steel01:
Can it not right now? Haven't tried. But I think that's all handled by the firmware. If you find a way around that, I'd definitely be interested at seeing how far it can be pushed.
[Shield Tablet General] Valiante:
Has anyone ever used the international version in NA to verify that calling works?
[Shield Tablet General] byawww432:
Thats exactly what i want to do with the stock rom or atleast find a way to flash the shield hub and all its dependancies to that rom, want to avoid switching to moonlight also the shield controller drivers/app would be nice to keep.
[Shield Tablet General] Tenacious--M:
I've got the opportunity to purchase a (post recall) Nvidia Shield LTE 32GB unit.

With the LTE will this allow me to use it as a phone for calls as well? By that I mean if I insert my AT&T Sim card will I be able to make voice calls and receive calls at my cell phone # using the LTE connection?

Has anyone found a dialer app that works?
[Shield Tablet General] lafester:
Read the thread?
[Shield Tablet General] Tenacious--M:
I did, sorry if I missed it but all Ive found is info on using Google voice and hangouts dialer. I want to know if the LTE will let me use my phone number for calls with a stand alone dialer. It didn't seem clear cut and it had been a while since a post here had been made.

I've researched custom roms but can't tell if any of them like Cyanogenmod add this functionality like a stand alone dialer.
[Shield Tablet General] :
It won't, and very, very probably never will unless NVidia has a change of heart.
[Shield Tablet General] markheloking:
Just a thought: isn't it possible to brute force the RSA using some insane computational power? What timescale would we be talking if we would for example rent an Amazon cluster? Maybe we could use all the money everyone here is willing to chip in for such an effort to get it cracked.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] hzm82:
Kernel build date on NG3 is July 19 so the exploit has been patched. Can't root with towelroot since it needs a kernel build before Jun 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bigfdaddy2:
What I did was odin flash philz recovery, then went into the custom recovery and went to reboot, it asked me to root and so I did then was able to download su from play store and was rooted
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] JG96EVO:
Thanks man, and you were on NG3 before u rooted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bigfdaddy2:
I was on nf6 rooted but then hooked phone to PC and used odin to flash the new bn3 and lost root..and towel root doesn't work so the only way I new of to get root back was flash custom recovery then root it through the custom recovery ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
This phone will never not be rootable. It has an unlocked bootloader, so you can just flash the recovery of your choice, root it from there, then reboot and you're done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
And why is that? Unless Samsung has restricted the bootloader permissions or set a new qfuse to block a downgrade of this firmware version, then the OP could use Odin to install a pre June 3rd build of 4.4.2 firmware, which Towel root can work with.

The previous update was revertible by installing an earlier firmware (confirmed). And NG3 is probably revertible as well (unconfirmed) i.e. it will be revertible unless Samsung took explicit steps to block a downgrade.

Provided that the OP doesn't care about the Knox flag, then the suggestion to install a custom recovery and root from there is valid too.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] wifiguru:
You know, I tried this... I keep getting stock recovery though. Driving me nuts.

I have NG3 as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bigfdaddy2:
Did u Odin phillz recovery ? That's the only way to get custom recovery on the phone that I know of is Odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] wifiguru:
Thanks.

Yeah, I did it via download mode.

So, what I did, I flash it via Odin in Download mode, and when it auto-reboots, I instantly hold Power + Pwr Up + Home in order to get to Recovery.

If I let it boot up first, it seems that recovery is overwritten by the stock recovery.

All good now =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Abhi97:
Try unchecking auto-reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] daniacorp:
Hi guys, no luck here, have the G900T, with the NG3, tried all with Odin, phillz recovery, bootloader+modem, downgrade to NF6 (failed too) or even the one before, nada, zero, just fail and fail resulting soft brick and only through Kies recovery I'm able to have the phone working again!

:(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
you need to revert to ne6 firmware for towel root to work. once rooted you can upgrade with mobile odin pro this will allow you to retain root and not trip knox
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] daniacorp:
Hi! Thank you for your answer! I already trip Knox long ago, it's not an issue for me, I'm been trying to downgrade to ne6 and it's the same, fail on Odin!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
if you just want root you can try cf autoroot http://download.chainfire.eu/407/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-kltetmo-kltetmo-smg900t.zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] daniacorp:
Thank you :D

But as I commented on my first post here, nada, nothing, I have tried the Phillz, the CF-auto-root, downgrade, with the original cable and others, with and without the sim card and/or sd card inserted (all of this with usb debug on in the developers settings) i dont really understand why, everything I try goes to fail and soft brick, only recuperable with Kies and full wipe...

Mine is the MS-G900T with the latest firmware :S is very weird, isn't the first time I root a phone (Galaxy Vibrant and Blaze, Nexus and Nexus 7) and I have flsh a lot of times and I know the for this procedure you have to follow each letter step by step!

I'm start thinking that probably is a locked bootloader... dunno...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BROKEN1981:
this was easy and thank you. i downgraded with the full stock file, no data loss. grabbed mobile pro and im now at ng3 rooted. tho my e-mail will not work. might have to factory reset the device.

What is the system version... If you unlocked your boot loader when you were the 182/183.46.10 you could flash SuperSU but I didn't know a new one was out... I'm slacking... You're using a RAZR M xt907

Eh? I'm not sure what you mean. I borrowed my friends old Razr M that had the first kit kat update (kernel date may 1st) and towelroot worked right away, but every time I try on mine (second kit kat update, kernel date june 25th) it just hangs.
[Droid RAZR M General] lem22:
I believe it's this OTA (well, it's for 183.*, but you know...) available for almost a month now. It should update 183.46.10 to 183.46.13. And as it's mainly a fix for towelroot, I would be surprised if you can root it with towelroot.

Note that Moto's update files are named after the version they can be applied to.

If the bootloader is locked, then I guess there's no known exploits for gaining root right now.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgemaster191:
Hey so here goes. Stupid me went to perform a factory restore from within in android (stock 4.2.2 rooted) and I forgot that I had installed TWRP (currently 2.7.0.2) and when the tablet rebooted to wipe everything it booted to TWRP and tried to wipe where it promptly failed with "Unable to mount /data, /internal storage, /system, etc.

So here's where i'm at. The tablet will boot to recovery but will not let me wipe anything and will not boot to android.

When i attempt to restore a nand backup it will restore then error at the end with "Unable to mount /data" and again, the tablet will not boot.

I downloaded the TWRP 2.7.0.2 update zip and flashed over my existing recovery to see if that helped, no dice.

Now i'm trying to use the method found here on XDA to restore to factory using Download Mode and everything goes well until I get to the step where i actually flash the KDZ file I get this message:

Please install CSMG B2C Client TOOL.

Select Tool > B2C Client Setup Menu.

I have followed the instructions to the letter minus putting my tablet in USB debugging mode (can't boot the tablet, no Debugging Mode)

I have no idea where to go from here.

I should mention I also tried this on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit.
