Confirm, VoLTE shall work on DLN5 RC2.1 rom with Volte Fix (link provided by [MENTION=6346663]prashantxpe[/MENTION]) and with N9005DXUGBOK3 BL+CP.

If DLN5 RC 2.1 and VoLTE fix dont work for you, then please download N9005DXUGBOK3 BL+CP. from following link and flash it with odin (provided)

I installed the Rom and tried Volte fix and ims apn settings, it didn't work. Then I tried to flash BL and CP through Odin but it fails to flash. Please help, my model N900W8
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NMBNMB:
Well, I dont have N900W8, so I might be of little help, but I can tell you an idea which is worth a try.

1, Search for VoLTE provide in Canada, Latin America and other country where N900W8 is/was marketed.

2, Isolate the provider which operates at-least in two out of three band of Jio VoLTE i.e. band 3, 5, 40

3, Search or extract and flash BL and CL firmware of the telephonic provider.

4, Then follow the steps in thread and check if that work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prashantxpe:
Yup....it really makes sense
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fad19:
How to download BL & modems alone, I can find only the option to download the entire stock firmware
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NMBNMB:
Google with PDA number, if you dont find then easiest way is to flash entire firmware and then flash custom rom.

Generally, custom rom dont change BL & CP!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NMBNMB:
Just checked, there are no telephonic provider working in Canada at VoLTE band 3,5 or 40.

There is Brazil Vivo which work on band 3 and 7 but not for N900W8!

Check it link. Do you even get LTE/4G network on Jio? (are you from India?)

1, Go on call setting and check if VoLTE selection appears, if so then you might not need to flash CP

2, proper IMS APN

As I thought, you did not flashed BL & CP properly. Follow this steps

1, Switch/power off your phone

2, Remove battery and power on (not necessary)

3, Plug in battery and press volume down, home key and power-on switch in sequence and let device boot-up, while all button pressed.

4, Press volume up button when asked to continue.

5, Plug in USB cable, select proper files in Odin and flash

I have flashed TWRP on my still NOT-rooted Huawei P9 EVA-L09 (adb reboot bootloader ; fastboot flash twrp-3.1.0-0-eva.img) successfully:

target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes

sending 'recovery' (22462 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.639s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.302s]

finished. total time: 0.944s

What do I do after this? When I try to boot into TWRP I either get stuck forever at Device is booting now... or otherwise I boot into original Huawei eRecovery... I have read somewhere that original EMUI ROM maybe rewrites custom recovery if OS(ROM) boots before you entered recovery?

What is the correct way to boot into TWRP, what key combo? Since I get phone bootloader unlocked warning! right after powering on the phone, do I press the combination right away or after the warning shows up? I've been trying to boot custom recovery for hours, this is silly...

This is not the first I'm rooting a phone, but I simply can't seem to get into TWRP I just flashed so I can install SuperSU from SD card...

I have tried older TWRP version too, didn't help.
