[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] izyer:
is any workaround to modify oem.sin? i just want to add my operator VoLTE settings. Thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] chris_j26:
Did you ever figure this one out?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] gregbradley:
Its impossible to edit a .sin file and flash it using flashtool.

You have to do it via a custom ROM, hence a rooted device is needed
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] chris_j26:
Is it possible though to take an OEM.sin from another firmware variant and flash that so I can get my VoLTE 'settings'
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] gregbradley:
hmm,, I do not know, you can try it. Just swap the necessary .sin files using flashtool and try to flash it. there are 3 outcomes.

1. it will work (Great)

2. It will not flash (No problem)

3. It soft brick s your phone, so just flash a .ftf to restore your phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] izyer:
It works to flash oem.sin from other regions firmware with no problems , my problem is that my operator just released VoLTE and VoWIFI and Sony didnt add the settings in their firmware and the only way to do it is if i root the phone or if i could edit OEM.SIN before flashing (but seems thats not possible). My operator doesnt sell any Sony phones so probably will take a long time till my operator will contact them to add the settings in the firmware or maybe not at all or maybe only for latest devices or for the future models (i cant know that). Sony does have the VoLTE settings in like all EU firmwares and VoLTE + VoWIFI in specific operator firmware but only for Orange in my country and im using some other operator.

Edit:// just get the firmware that has your operator settings then flash only the oem.sin from it with flashtool , i did that with mine and i had no problems.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] gregbradley:
Or just do this of course...my bad.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] chris_j26:
I have a problem in that my phone was never released by my operator! Do you think it'd be possible to get an OEM.sin from another phone altogether? They have released both the XZ Premium and Z5 Premium (I have the X performance). Alternatively I think if I edit the modem.conf I might have a way to get VoLTE too
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] 3mozz:
this is experimental try replacing firmware folder with elabel-Gxxxx-india-row_xxxxxxxxx_41.3.A.2.XX_S1-ELABEL-LIVE-DE8D-PID1-0004-MMC.sin and also you need to manually extract update.xml from indian firmware.... if it is set to unpack automatically in xperia firm it will be replaced by update.xml from the big file that size 2.6GB , you need update.xml from the indian firmware placed inside 46MB file

FYI without unpacking there will be like 3 files

one size 2.6 , other two size 46mb and 1.2mb

we need update xml from 46mb file and sin from 1.2 mb also dont forget to remove elabel-Gxxxx-yourcountry-row_xxxxxxxxx_41.3.A.2.XX_S1-ELABEL-LIVE-DE8D-PID1-0004-MMC.sin
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] chris_j26:
Unfortunately only phones on my provider which has VoLTE support for Xperia xz performance and I can't yet extract the sin from that firmware
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] chris_j26:
I have edited the relevant files on my device. Is there any way to force the phone to pick up the new oem settings? Will it require a format (reset to get it to work)?

UPDATE : reflashed phone via Flashtool. Excluded oem partition from flash and now have working VoLTE
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] gaurav_15:
which files have you edited ?? can you explain step by step please?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Pyroteq:
Can you please explain how this was done in more detail?

Is it required to unlock bootloader or root the device? I want to keep all my DRM keys but just enable VoLTE (and VoWIFI if possible).
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] chris_j26:
Guide is here. It should apply to any device that has an oem partition provided you have the relevant files. That being said I haven't tried it on any other devices https://xdaforums.com/xperia-x-performance/how-to/guide-enable-volte-operator-handset-t3816565
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Bernard2243:

It contains the operator modifications plus specify what modem to use (so you can get operator functionality)

If i flash SOV32 original oem.sin does it make my sim card locked to AU network?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] chris_j26:
I am not sure what the SOV32 is but usually network SIM unlocking is different.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Bernard2243:
SOV32 is japanese version for z5 bundled with AU

So it's safe to flash original japanese z5 oem.sin
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Jahedul67:
Oem.sin

Dear Friend,

How do we flash only oem.sin. I need volte on sony xperia x compact
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] mffu:
1. download the firmware that supports VoLTE for your carrier using XperiFirm

2. When the firmware is extracted, just copy the 2 oem.sin files inside of Newflasher and flash normally.

I was able to add VoLTE for Verizon USA using those 2 files from xz2 compact firmware.

Good luck!

What rom are you on? Stock? if yo which version? Have you tried flashing your stock, latest v30 rom?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper-soul:
I tried global version i.e. 30b and according to my imei its same.

Just to make it clear, you flashed your latest stock rom with LGUP right, because is changes all the partitions not just /system.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper-soul:
yes i followed back to stock steps . used kdz file and lg flash tool.

I always followed these steps but nothing wrong happened but this time my phone is facing bootloop despite of new original battery checked on other g3 which worked fine.

I have the At&t varient of the S7, is it possible that I can SIM unlock by flashing the T-Mobile firmware and using the unlock app it comes with?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
Is your device network locked? Does it asks for network unlock codes when you insert the t-mobile app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] savagevegeta:
Yes it does but it's black listed I just found out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
You might be able to unlock it with some services, but I suggest you inform them about the imei's status as blacklisted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] twizt3d:
Try to keep your question limited to one thread. They are all involving sim unlock, and all result in the same answer. Since your IMEI is blacklisted only a 3rd party pay service can help you, and even then you may have issues since the device is blacklisted.

Unlocking the bootloader as outlined in the above thread should work. Unless the actual buss structure is different, it looks like TWRP should work as well. Any advice or assistance much appreciated.

Hello, I am searching about that topic all over the internet for a long time but without good result so I decide to open topic here.

Is there any way to make LG G4 AS991 work on GSM network in Europe ?

I have one but when I insert GSM sim card it's not working. Network isn't available

I heard that somehow it's possible.

any help will be much appreciated.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4veren:
I'm guessing you made a typo in the title and your model is actually us991. Same bad luck has fallen on to me and I bought the worst model of this great phone.

Unfortunately as of 2017/10 you are still unable to root the carrier free US991 nor can you get mobile internet on it in Europe.

You can get connection and make calls/send SMS in Europe by going into your mobile data settings and switching modes around, but nothing you do can get you mobile internet: 3g nor LTE.

You can tell you have the carrier unlocked model vs the US Cellular (as they share the same exact name) if your firmware version in 'About phone' ends with an 'a', eg US91121a.

All this information I gathered myself from reading these forums, a bit of reddit and educating myself a little about LTE and whatnot, so if anyone comes up with a solution in the future - I can no longer get rid of the expensive paperweight :)

The thing is that it's really as991 not US991 :/ I've already contacted seller and I am sending it back. great phone by specs but useless to me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] All_New_BoB:
Hello Guys, so as described in the title it all started when i wanted to unlock bootloader unofficially, im not a newbie but didn't expect Xiaomi to act like samsung in terms of making it a big headache to unlock the device...

anyway the unofficial method consist of flashing MIUI 7.1.8.0 while i was on 8.0.x.x if im not mistaken

I had my sim in my main phone in the process so im not really sure when did i basically lose the IMEI, baseband, MAC address all these things but i discovered that i lost them and spent like 2 weeks searching and tryingdifferent tutorials (i have like 50 bookmarks and maybe downloaded like 30GB worth of data!!)

Final/Current situation:

IMEI1 and IMEI2 recovered --> can log in to Mi account

MAC address recovered --> can connect to wifi

Service

NOT

recovered, phone detect the sim, it shows the sim number in settings, even the access points are read from the sim and shown in the Access Point area but whatever i do the sim card shows No service

last thing i did is i flashed MIUI9 beta official, locked bootloader, stock recovery...

I hope this thread get some attention for me and many others as well...ready to answer any extra clarifications

I want to root the phone and install custom ROMs.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
[MENTION=3318050]msmcintosh[/MENTION]- The 6P defaults to data encryption on first boot. You need to do a factory reset and before booting to the OS install TWRP and then boot back into TWRP (reboot recovery). If you want to keep your data unencrypted you now have to either flash SuperSU or a custom kernel. Either of these will disable the force encrypt flag. Also make sure you are installing v3.1.1.0.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
