[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Thank you for letting me know. I should have some more time to work on this now that I'm done with school for the summer. First priority is to make it work on factory N950N of course, but eventually if you want to keep guinnea-pigging with Weta i can try to figure that one out as well.

Since I tried to leave some stock things in place for that first attempt, I'm just going to delete them all and replace everything with files from the N950F and N950U for the next attempt.

I ordered a OPO6, and will still be using my Note 8 even after I get it, so i will be happy to guinea pig it.

Side note: i'm certain my unable to mount data issue is unrelated to ur zip btw,, i got it resolved by just odin everything from scratch

Carrier Aggregation

Hello, I have the VOLTE working great! WiFi calling not working for me and neither is the carrier aggregation on T-Mobile US. Is there a way to enable it?

Thank you!

Does anyone know how to make the VOLTE icon to appear on the status bar ? When i make a phone call the HD voice icon appears on the UI call screen.

I did something bad.

I bought the one plus 6, and then traded my Note 8 for a huawei matebook x + cash.

The guy that traded me tho is asking if we can trade back, which i'm fine with doing, but the signal woes are killing me , and after using OPO6 in Honolulu and pulling 120mbps in my 31st floor condo vs 3mbps on the n950n i really dunno what to do, i miss the note 8, and it's sexy beautiful camera, but the signal makes me want to thanos myself.

Please advise me. I need some guidance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
hmm which band are they using? I haven't noticed any speed issues whatsoever on my N950N but have only been between UT, NV, and SoCal with it thus far. Ever since we determined that the early N950U keystrings file was screwing things up mine has been super fast in those locations.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] masri1987:
it's using band 71\66 12 4 and 2 .

I accidentally like a dolt, turned off dev options... and rebooted..

of course now I get, red text of death

`Cannot load custom binary with FRP lock`

I cant even boot to recovery(twrp) can only boot to download mode..

Do any of you know what I could flash in download mode to get dev options turned back on?

Thanks for ay advice

[MENTION=4375750]Kalm_Traveler[/MENTION] Hey Kalm_Traveler, will this work on N950 F / DS international model? Do we need root? It's been a while since I've flashed anything on a samsung device. Was a s5 owner ><

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Logel:
On FRP lock you need to flash a stock Rom! But use the "home" CSC file instead of the CSC file and you don't lose your files.

Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

Hello, I was wondering if you have updated to Oreo and still have access to Servicemode menu?

I have an Exynos S9+ G965F and I want to access Servicemode menu to change settings to get carrier aggregation working, but when launching it I get permission denied. And when using method 0 in shortcut launcher with root, I get a huge java error which doesn't work.

Have you succesfully enabled carrier aggregation on Note 8 Oreo on T-Mobile?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
ahh man I shouldn't laugh but that is too funny :D

Ah... as far as the Play Store, in doesn't really have regions as far as I'm aware of. The apps you see should be dependent only on the billing address you have associated with it *EDIT* and whether or not they are viewed as compatible by the Play Store, which is something set by the app developer *EDIT* - earlier this year I was trying to download the Melon music player app (Korean... and admittedly pre-loaded on the N950N), but it doesn't appear for USA-based payment addresses so I had to go into my account and change the address to one in Korea. However, I also do not see it on the phone, and when I try to install it via the desktop website, it says that my T-Mobile US Samsung SM-N950N is not compatible with it. It's possible that Netflix either has an approved devices list, or a denied devices list on their Play Store listing.

Yes I will be around for a few hours - just getting this all set up before making another nandroid backup in TWRP...

wow. I saw the changelog on post 2 and just assumed that was it and installation was like normal -.-

ummmmm I just restarted my phone (haven't done ANYTHING yet). "your phone is encrypted for security. to start up your device, enter your PIN." One problem. There's no keyboard/numpad...what.

edit: restarted again and it's good now. That was weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Did you encrypt it? I hadn't thought of putting a check for that in the instructions since i haven't set it up 100% yet - been waiting to get wifi calling working so I have a stable fully functional phone first... in fact I was getting so angry about this that I was about temporarily switch back to my Note 5.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
This is what I see in the Samsung phone info app at the moment. Notice the wifi calling icon in the corner :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
0x0 knox? ok I haven't been gone that long.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
It's lying, and I actually don't know why it says that. Most definitely am Knox 0x1. Somehow it knows the color when the CSC is stock, but it can't tell once you throw a TMB CSC at it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
lol that's weird. bout to say I didn't think xda community made that big of a leap in the last 3 years lmao.

also screw me. I wanted everything to go as seamless as possible. downloaded all the necessary files to my sd card first (or so I thought). Of course I didn't download your patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Don't feel too bad. I clicked on the "more settings" link in the dialer settings which promptly disconnected Wi-Fi calling, it displayed error REG99 unable to connect twice, and has not yet reconnected (classic stuck on Enabling).

Lesson learned, don't click on the dialer More settings menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
Too late. Also dear lord can we get rid of the tmobile boot screen (AND JINGLE)? At least KT kept shut lol

Umm what's in the more settings menu..? I feel like I changed some stuff there when I set up my phone. Also I tend to play around with settings a TON so odds are I'm going to forget to not touch that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Haha yes just delete the ogg file and boot qmg videos.

The dialer more settings menu is just above the voicemail options
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
I haven't restarted and repatched yet. Would it hurt to try opening the more settings menu now before I restart and wipe data?

---------- Post added at 23:23 ---------- Previous post was at 23:20 ----------

I just choked when it finally finished first setup and I was greeted with 3x the bloatware from every korean carrier lmao

---------- Post added at 23:25 ---------- Previous post was at 23:23 ----------

any way to get the non-carrier-branded boot animation though? like whatever the unlocked samsung models have?

---------- Post added at 23:27 ---------- Previous post was at 23:25 ----------

also can you access the wifi calling menu (when it's working) to change the settings without disabling it again?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Not sure if it would or not... I can't fathom why that broke my wifi calling in the first place.

Also I don't think the unbranded units have a special boot video. If you delete the existing one you'll just see the Samsung logo animation which I believe is all you see on the unbranded units as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
yup that's what I was talking about. thanks.

did you try toggling wifi calling on and off while it was working? Is that safe to do?

---------- Post added at 23:37 ---------- Previous post was at 23:33 ----------

Hey so I'm going through the setup right now after the second wipe and reboot and I already did the connect to wifi part and I don't see a wifi calling icon in the notification bar.

---------- Post added at 23:40 ---------- Previous post was at 23:37 ----------

What exactly do I have to reflash after the second factory reset?

---------- Post added at 23:44 ---------- Previous post was at 23:40 ----------

yup, confirmed "enabling"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
I didn't toggle it, just made a call. I think the issue is happening just getting the epdg service to switch the RIL to the iwlan (switch the phone to wifi for calls) but in not sure why it was working and then broke.

After the second reset you flash my zip again, while still in TWRP from doing the factory reset wipe
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
have to root again too though right? I flashed magisk and your patch.

---------- Post added at 23:52 ---------- Previous post was at 23:52 ----------

On the other hand, thank god it's not using that korean weather service anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Yes i actually forgot to reroot, so I just rebooted to do that and decided to reflash my zip again just for fun. Now wifi calling says ready for calls again but the icon is not on the status bar...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
my wifi calling is def not working. has never enabled once. gonna reboot and dirty flash your patch again for giggles
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Are you using a SIM card that works with T-mobile wifi calling in another phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
I can't be sure of that as I just got the sim card. But then again, I just got the sim card. It's brand new for the Tmobile One plan. can't imagine it wouldn't have wifi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
ok if you're still not getting wifi calling I bet they didn't provision it for that feature. Not all phones have the ability yet, and it's possible they need to tell their system to enable it for that SIM card. I got a new card for this phone in a retail store and they set it up for a Note 8 in their system.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
I'm calling tmobile right now actually lol. I'll have them provision it right now and get back to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Keep me posted. I'll check back in the morning, and moreover hopefully figure out what happened to my icon and why rewriting those files seems to have got it working again. I'm wondering if maybe I need to change the permissions on something either in the android system or on the EFS partition to prevent whatever caused the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
The tmobile rep I spoke to suggested making sure that an e911 address is enabled on the account. As the line is owned by my business, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to check if it's enabled on my account, but you might check that. They said it can sometimes be necessary with enabling wifi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Yeah I confirmed that much. Been on enabling all night even after a 3rd dirty flash so it's time to figure out the logcat for this. Really confused as to why it was working and then broke.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
Interestingly, the shopping feature is entirely gone now from bixby vision
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
I haven't tried to use ol' Bixby to be honest, but that is kind of amusing and good to know.

Did you get the e911 number put on your account?

Today I'm back to the 'Enabling' club. Going to pull a logcat and hope that someone here can help me figure out the switchover issue, and hopefully how it can be addressed at the patch level so it doesn't happen in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
this did nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
/system/omc/TMB/res/media/ the files are in there. If you delete them it can't play the video or jingle.

They don't exist elsewhere :)

Also, this logcat really seems to suggest that the issue is with the epdg service that switches the calls from LTE to iwlan but I don't entirely understand the reason. It kind of looks like it is expecting the wifi interface to be called something else and thus failing but I'm very new to this...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
yup, mistakenly did the ones at /system/media
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
Any luck with this yet? I managed to get an e911 address added and wifi calling enabled. I wiped data, flashed your patch, rerooted, booted up, restarted, wiped data again, flashed your patch, rerooted, and booted up again. Nothing after that. Was still on "enabling".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
no luck yet, I have never looked at a logcat before so this is again a learning curve - plus today I have been working on figuring out my poor LTE signal. If I push in a particular direction on one of the antenna connectors, the signal strength shoots up to equal to my note 5.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gubbilo144:
hey were able to add the att stuff added by chance to the zip or seperate att zip,no hurry was just wondering if you had gotten around to it,thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Not yet - I'm still trying to figure out why the T-Mobile wifi calling will work for me only from a fresh Odin wipe/reinstall on the first bootup, but then break as soon as I disconnect the wifi. If I can figure that out this week (or if someone can help me understand the logcat to figure it out) and figure out what needs to be fixed I should have a final patch version out this week which will include AT&T files.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gubbilo144:
OK, thanks,do you have any idea why i wouldnt be able to receive sms.I can send sms and everything else works,includngwifi calling, but cant receive them.I edited the Flashable CSC Selection V1.2.1 with this,getprop("ro.product.device") == "greatlte" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "greatlte" || getprop("ro.product.name") == "greatlte" ||,and everything from att works except receiving sms.I thought you may have an idea,thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
I haven't looked at the AT&T files in that pack, but it doesn't seem like the CSC would cause that issue. As far as I know, the server settings for text messages are just 1 server so if you are able to send properly you should be able to receive properly as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gubbilo144:
OK THANKS,i have the same phone as you SM-N950N.i bought same place as you.Its weird if i flash the one i edited cant seem to receive sms,but if i flash your zip you have here for tmobile, sms work fine just dont have the wifi calling in settings.Ill just wait to you get around to it may be you can figure it out,no hurry,was just wondering.Thanks again!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
Dude. I just got home after being gone for the weekend. When I connected to my home wifi this happened. This is after I restored my nandroid from twrp after doing those wipes i mentioned above so it's not even a clean install/flash! I just got home and it started working???

Edit: I'm also pretty sure I went into the more settings menu quite a few times before making this nandroid
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
Nvm... rebooted and its enabling again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Ah so close! So now you see that it does work... Very unreliably. I'm going to ask the android dev team at work if they can make anything from a logcat showing the problem. I understand what is happening, but I don't understand the cause yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
This is by far one of the strangest android issues ive been involved in. Usually things just work or don't (and usually the latter :P )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
KT, just curious, do I actually need the ATT, VZW, and other folders in the OMC folder? Do they serve any purpose in relation to the Tmobile mod? No big deal but I just hate seeing them there. Of course I don't have to look in there but I've already seen them. :)

Also when a volte call is made, am I supposed to see the volte icon?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
You can delete all the ones you don't want, they don't matter if you're not loading them. As for VoLTE you won't see it unless you change the xml to show it (it is hidden per the settings) or you use a kernel that is built to always show it. I'm using Notorious kernel and it always shows the VoLTE and RCS icons when they are active.

Hey that makes two of us. This is my first go at making my own mod, let alone one to benefit the community. Monster learning curve believe me. I've learned more about ROM building, android development, modding, etc in the last 3 weeks than i ever expected to know.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
Ok thanks. And shouldn't hurt if I edit them out of the SW_Configuration xml? I assume those folders have no relation to the mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Yeah that's fine too. I actually tried adding TMB into my stock CSC and that worked just fine too. As long as all the files are where it expects them to be, the system seems pretty flexible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Well i rebooted to flash the new update of Notorious kernel and now my wifi calling is connected again, but no status bar icon...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tokoam:
when will we get a proper csc where are the big devs ??? Dr ketan working on anything ?or anyone else ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
The CSC is not the problem. If one is fine running a 950F ROM, everything already works. What I'm doing doesn't appear to have ever been done as all the threads and packs I've found for previous devices were all for F variants, not N. I'm sure that the final piece to this puzzle is just some small setting difference or functionality difference that I haven't found yet, but I will find the solution much quicker if I can understand the logcat error.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
so far I can pretty much always connect to wifi calling if I reboot with the wifi on, but if it disconnects for any reason it will get stuck on Enabling. I'm still not getting the icon anymore either, and I'm currently trying to figure out some logcat errors. It looks like it is telling me that the wfcservice app is not running as system somehow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gundal:
So I am in the same boat as the OP

SM-N950N, trying to get wifi and volte calling enabled for RWC (rogers wireless canada)

I pulled the csc files from the official N950W firmware, and was able to create a custom zip with just the CSC files needed.

I managed to switch my software version to RWC/RWC/LUC

which enabled all the proper menus for me.

I still didn't have WIFI or VOLTE calling wokring, swapped my sim back to my old phone, got them working then reswapped into my new phone... BOOM everything works,as intended.. for 15 mins... then the network detects my IMEI is not the Rogers branded NOTE7 I registered with and my IMS status reverts to not registered and I lose my enhanced calling features.

TURNS OUT... Rogers has a database of IMEIs that are rogers branded devices, and if your IMEI is not in their list, you do not get access to register with their IMS or use the enhanced calling features... kind of a huge piss off. I had to escalate to two levels of tech support then get a manager, then PROVE to them I could fake it to work by swapping the sims, and prove to them its not my phone that can't do it, (even explaining I flashed the rogers firmware on my device) before they admitted they do an IMEI check to verify it is indeed a rogers branded device, before allowing it to register with the IMS service (which handles all the dynamic switching for routing of your calls, 3g -> wifi -> lte and back..)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
I'm not sure that is the issue at hand here because my IMS is always registered, wifi or LTE but I'm noticing that wifi calling always connects if I reboot. Still no icon anymore, but it is working as I've been testing at work and home all day. Just have to reboot every time I move to a new wifi.

Also the android dev team at work pointed me to a few resources to understand logcat a little bit. I think tomorrow I'll have some more ideas to get this finished and working properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gundal:
Oh I was not suggesting tmo also does that with the IMEIs, but it is a possibility and happens over here in Canada, so I thought I would share.. at least you have a possibility of getting yours working.. I would have to swap my imei with my other branded device to get it to work longer then 15 mins..... do these devices use a qualicom modem? or a sammy one?

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Yeah I am confident that we will have it 100% working soon. I have noticed that when using it at the moment, there seems to be about 5 seconds when a call connects where I can hear them but they can't hear me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Good work! I haven't swapped modems but I noticed that on the full stock SK Telecom software and CSC I get LTE+ icon which I believe means Carrier Aggregation is active. With my TMB CSC I don't know how to tell, but in the modem service mode app it appears to be on by default. 256QAM and 4x4 MIMO are disabled by default in this case, but can be enabled, though it seems they are off again if I reboot.
