Volte icon on phone?

I have a question about using the code to enable volte. I already rooted my phone to get the WW firmware on it and I don't feel like going through the process again to make volte permanent. If I use the code each time is there an icon that shows up on the top of the phone next to the cellular data symbol showing that volte is enabled? I wasn't sure if thats what you meant by seeing the icon in the status bar.

thank you very much for this information

If you are unable to set those properties for whatever reason, like if you have returned to stock after flashing the mbn and no longer have root, there is another possibility to force VoLTE/VoWiFi; There's a secret code you can use to force-enable it, but unfortunately it does not survive a reboot (not sure why ASUS didn't make it persistent).

Enter this in the dialler:

*#*#3642623344#*#*

The number will clear itself, and you shouldn't see any output if it succeeded.

When you have done this, go to (System) Settings -> Mobile network and toggle Mobile data off then on again. You should hopefully see the VoWiFi or VoLTE icon in the status bar now, but like I said above you will have to redo this if you reboot the phone - so if you can, please use the properties method instead.

Step 2 - making sure it works

Before we begin, make sure you close down QPST, otherwise EfsTools will error out because there can not be two clients connected at once.

Unzip EfsTools from above, open up a cmd window and cd to the directory where you extracted it. Depending on how you connect to diag you will need to modify EfsTools.exe.config - if you're connecting via USB you most likely won't have to do anything as it will find the port automatically, unless you have more than one port, in which case you can simply change port from Auto to the COM port of the phone (for example COM13).

If you are connected via wifi you will need to change port to 2500 (or whatever port you used in the AsusVoLTE app) and remote to true. So the efstool line should look something like this:

<efstool port="2500" remote="true" baudrate="38400" password="FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" spc="000000"/>

You can test the connection by running this in the cmd window:

EfsTools.exe efsInfo

This should report back some info if everything is working. If not, try rebooting the device and redo the bits from the DIAG guide.

Step 3 - disabling mcfg

Extract efs.zip from above to the same directory as EfsTools.exe, and make sure the mcfg_autoselect_by_uim file is there. Now simply run this in the cmd window, one line at a time:

EfsTools.exe writeFile -i mcfg_autoselect_by_uim -o /nv/item_files/mcfg/mcfg_autoselect_by_uim
EfsTools.exe writeFile -i mcfg_autoselect_by_uim -o /nv/item_files/mcfg/mcfg_autoselect_by_uim -s 1

If everything worked you should see no error messages.

Step 4 - writing mbn

If you are using the Xiaomi Mi 9T mbns zip from above, move it to the EfsTools directory and extract it. Now we simply need to find the mbn for your carrier.

The mbn directory structure is generally laid out like this: <region>/<carrier>/commerci/<country>/mcfg_sw.mbn. For example, the one for my carrier is eu/h3g/commerci/se/mcfg_sw.mbn. Copy the mcfg_sw.mbn file to the same directory as the EfsTools.exe, then go to the cmd window you opened and type this:

EfsTools.exe uploadDirectory -i mcfg_sw.mbn -o / -v

To get it working on the second SIM slot you will also have to run this:

EfsTools.exe uploadDirectory -i mcfg_sw.mbn -o / -s 1

If it has worked you should see a bunch of output, but no errors. Try rebooting now, and hopefully after it has booted you will have fully functional VoLTE and VoWiFi.

Let me know if this works for you, or if you have any questions.
