Well I chatted with rogers support.

Me

I bought a new unlocked S8+ from ebay. I removed my SIM from my old rogers note 5 and inserted. I notice that I'm not getting Wi-Fi, VoLTE or video calling anymore. A friend said I needed to contact Rogers to get my IMEI registered so it can work. Can you help me?

Support

Hi I'm Randy from Rogers, in Moncton, I will be assisting you today.

‎

I*definitely know how frustrating that can be.**I understand the need to be able to access all the features on your phone.* Unfortunately those features are not currently supported on non Rogers devices* (except iphones).*

Me

really, That's really poor business on rogers part. Are Rogers planning on allowing these features later?

‎support

Currently there are only a select few Android phones that are actually supported on Rogers.* We definitely are working on adding many more phones in the near future.

‎Me

So unlocked S8+ phone maybe supported later?

‎support

yes that's correct..

‎support

there are so many variables that have to be taken into consideration when adding features to a phone that is not specifically designed for the Rogers network.

‎Me

I hope they do. Many customers want to use their own phones and not always want to buy directly from carriers

‎support

yes I know.. I've been here over a decade and I've spoken to many customers over the years with non Rogers phones and features that do/do not work on their non Rogers phones.** These particular features are something we are actively working to get working.

‎Me

ok. I know the S8 is still a relatively new phone so I hope I can assess all the rogers features soon. Thank you

Support

You're very welcome.

gotta say with respect: USA and Canadian networks are soooo much more draconian that the EU and most other territories. In the UK you can easily flash a specific operator' firmware on a BTU or or network unlocked samsung s7/s8 and et Volte/WiFi Calling.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] crazynewfie:
I know. I'm already paying my monthly bill each month with my carrier but because I don't have their branded device I can't have all the options as the people with a carrier specific device. It's pretty lame. All Canadian carriers are like this. Just sad.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Idan73:
It has been verified, since the advent of VoLTE on Canadian networks, in multiple threads.

Canadian providers discriminate via imei so that only their phones can use these features.

It is entirely possible to add the imei to your profile, the way they do with iphones, but no CSR is willing to do this for Android.

The only unlocked android phone as of beginning of this month is pixel, with gimped IMS protocol (VoLTE working, VildeoLTE, VoWiFi, SmsLTE not). Again only works with imei that is in their database (bought from them, and only them).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cantenna:
Wow, glad I no longer have to deal with that $hit!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gundal:
I can verify that Rogers/Fido are doing this and disabling features based on origin of device.

In fact, we can prove that it will work on international version and shut down their argument of "oh we cant possibly test every other device" with the following:

Reproduction steps:

1. I put my sim card in my rogers branded samsung device with working VoLTE, WiFi Calling and Video calling.

2. I move my sim card over to my unlocked samsung Exynos based Note 8... VoLTE works fine.

IMS status is registered to RWC VoLTE and everything is good

3. 15mins later (or some random time.. my imei is send back to rogers and the system detects my device is not a Rogers device) ims services are no longer provisioned to my account and VoLTE stops working

4. I put my sim card back in my rogers branded device, within 30 mins the system will reprovision VoLTE.

I have started a complaint with the CCTS that has been accepted as a complaint that falls within their scope.. I am very interested to see what Rogers will do to rectify this one, as I have spoke to multiple managers, who tell me the system would need to be redesigned to allow non rogers devices on it *EYEROLL* which is just ridiculous and highly unlikely, they just need to whitelist my IMEI or force provision VoLTE to my account.

I am now digging into the logcat to determine exactly what info is sent over, incase its not imei and simply something like combination of model build and version which does appear to be communicated over to the ims service. Seems a User Agent string is built, and is used to verify you, it is

User Agent = [PRODUCT_MODEL]-[BUILD_VERSION] Samsung IMS 6.0

Cell phones in Canada are a bloody joke!! Not only are we paying they most in the entire world from the big 3 you can't even go to the smaller guys because they've all just been bought up by the big 3, effectively creating a monopoly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gundal:
I have started a CCTS complaint, it was found valid, I had the office of the president of rogers offering to swap my device for a rogers one. THEY CANNOT (or claim they cannot) add an imei to the system to whitelist it. If they could I doubt they would offer me to switch devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Idan73:
If they did, this would make a precedent. They can not have that.

At the same time, just think, someone has to add numbers to the database when they get their batch. Just because they designed their system to refuse front line CSR inputting imei, does not really mean "they cant".

Hello.

I have problem with my S7 EDGE.

Its possible to S7 edge for Europe G935F had a power chip S535.

This is for G935S only.

Phone code XSG. Its possible?

Can be something wrong if i replace it with PM8996 ?

My phone is in service now and they talk me its s535 chip.

But i dont believe so i take my phone back.

Sorry for my english ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dkimmortal:
G930/935F(D) has EXYNOS so it should be using Samsung Power Management ICs which should be the S535 (big) and S515 (small)

The North American variant using Qualcom Snapdragon 820 (MSM8996) chipset uses the PM8996 (big) and the PM8004 (small)

This is probably right.

[General Questions and Answers] The Original Leppa:
If the vendor (in this case Vodafone) don't provide sources, does it mean I'm unable to create a ROM for it?

Put it another way, is it possible to create a ROM using only a running device?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, if you want to build a "true" custom ROM you will need the stock source code for your device.

If you can root, you can use adb or Terminal Emulator to do a "ROM dump", or dump just a copy of your system.img, then modify that system.img and then use adb to push the modified system.img to your device. It will be considered a modified stock ROM, it won't be a "custom" ROM but you can modify it quite heavily with things like Xposed, Gravity Box, and a few other good mods and themes.

Or you can get a copy of your stock firmware(not the same as source code), then find other devices with the exact same hardware that have a better version of Android than yours, then use your stock firmware to port the better version to work on your device.

Building a true custom ROM is "possible" without stock source code but it would require VERY extensive programming and developer knowledge to do it because you'd have to do every bit of it from scratch with no resources to work with.
[General Questions and Answers] The Original Leppa:
So, I'm screwed, in terms of porting?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It would help if you had stock firmware for your model then you can find another device with the same hardware architecture(chipset), if they are similar enough you can port it.

It's possible to port between devices that aren't exactly the same chipset but that also requires extensive developer knowledge.

If you aren't experienced then you're pretty much out of luck.

If you want to customize android devices then you need to get less obscure devices. Next time, research the device first to see if there is a known rooting method for it and whether there is custom development available for it before you get it. Or if you get a device that just came out, get a device that you are certain that developers will support, typically a flagship/popular device.

The cheap low-mid range devices usually don't get support from developers and the ones that do get support are not supported by real develoers, they are supported by members that took it on themselves to learn how to build android just so they can update their device but their work usually isn't exactly right due to their lack of experience.

[Xposed General] QuentinVance:
Hi there anyone!

This is my first post ever so I'm sorry if it's not the right place, but I really need help with this thing.

I used to have XPosed Framework running on my old Doogee DG550, and it was real fun. Now I got a Doogee F5 running Android 5.1 and I decided to put XPosed it too.

However, I'm finding it extremely difficult, as I got "stuck" while trying to follow the guide in this post.

I've installed the XPosed Installer just fine, I can see it in my apps, but of course it still says I need to install the Framework. So I downloaded the version mentioned in that post, which is xposed-v85-sdk22-arm64.zip and then the Official TWRP App I found on the PlayStore.

Then I simply tried to open the app and find the file while searching through my folders, but the app couldn't recognize it. So I tried extracting it in a folder and then pointing out the entire folder to the app, and this failed too. I tried opening every single folder within the .zip file, but yet no usable file was found.

Now I'm kinda stuck: I don't really know what I'm doing wrong, and as you might have already figured out I'm a real noob at this.

If any of you people can help, that would be great!

A warning to people buying used Pixel phones. Developing story, at this point it looks like Project Fi phones getting resold violated TOS and get blacklisted and deactivated. Swappa buyers (or any buyer of used devices) end up paying the price.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
It seems more like an error on Project Fi's end than an actual TOS violation where Pixel owners who got their phones from Project Fi are barred from being able to sell them. I had the exact same problem with a Virgin Mobile phone that I sold on Ebay--the buyer wasn't able to activate the phone because VM didn't disassociate my account from the ESN.
