HI
I have a dual Sim S8 g950FD, i bought it from Singapore airport.
I want to use the wifi calling option but it is not available under any of the conditions that i have used
I have attempted unsuccessfully to flash a stock rom which i assume would have got rid of any of the carrier restrictions that they have on the handset. it failed as the stock rom was older than the installed software.
All i want to do is use the Wifi calling function
Any ideas or links would be most helpful
thanks in avdvance

I recently purchased a Galaxy S4 i9505 on EE from Carphone Warehouse, and flashed the 5.0.1 BTU firmware. After I did that I then read I'd need to be carrier unlocked, but I tried calling and receiving calls and messages and using 4g and it worked fine. I also saw some posts about flashing modems. Anyway I'm really confused about what I need to do; should I try and unlock or not. Thanks everyone for your help.
The BTU firmware has no carrier branding, which means it has no carrier logos or bloatware included in it. Other than the lack of carrier doodads, it's the same firmware. You shouldn't need to flash a modem as you already have the latest, from when you installed the BTU ROM. However, the S4 would need to be unlocked for use on any carrier if your SIM isn't an EE SIM. But, you either have an EE SIM, in which case you don't need to worry about it, or the S4 was unlocked by the store that sold it, in which case you don't need to worry about it.
TL;DR: Don't touch the ROM. Don't worry too much about the SIM because you can make calls and use data. You don't need to flash a modem.
Hey guys, I've got an S5 which I originally bought from phones4u, which is an unlocked and unbranded (BTU) S5.
I would like to use the WiFi calling feature as the signal in my new house isn't great. The WiFi calling option isn't available in the menus on my phone. Does anyone know if I can simply flash the EE branded firmware and it'll start working? Or is there something else I'll need to do?
Thanks!
If u try it ....post ur findings as im the same
Im just swapping to a T-Mobile stock deodexed rom from my EE one (needed a deodexed stock rom) and i will report back, but doubt it will work as it works off your Sim card and will most likely just tell you IMEI number is wrong or something
Yeah it seems it WILL work if you have a T-Mobile sim.
Cool! Well I know EE support WiFi calling, so should work. Thanks for posting your findings!
Did you flash over the top or did you wipe? Not sure I can be bothered to do a full wipe [emoji14]

Hello guys. This is my first Samsung device. It's network locked here in the Philippines and I flashed UK firmware to get Nougat update. Since thre is an official update available now in our country, I flashed the firmware downloaded from sammobile with CSC SMA (philippines Smart). The problem is, SIM 2 is not working for a different SIM card (ex. Globe). Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Before only SIM 1 is Network locked and SIM 2 is openline. Now they are both Network locked.

As far as I know, Dual SIM phone has issues when trying to unlock the phone. they are problematic and sometimes they refuse to work. I recommend you take it to Samsung assistance, maybe they can do something with your firmware and make the phone work again.
Hey guys! I brought my unlocked T-Mobile USA S7 Edge to Germany and it works fine with either Vodafone or Telekom, but no Wi-Fi Calling works. They suggested me to get one of their phones but since I had to fully pay for this device to get it unlocked I don't want to throw 800 bucks away like that.
Is there a way to get this to work? Is it possible to flash a different CP / Modem / Radio / Firmware that could potentially get this working? I know the bootloader is locked but I'm not sure if there are any workarounds as I've seen people successfully getting G935U firmware to work on their unlocked T Mobile S7E.
Any advice? Thanks in advance!
Anyone? ?
You can easily flash "T" model with "U" firmware - been there, works well.
What do you mean by wifi calling? Ggl duo/hangouts, whatsapp, all that kind of apps work fine on whichever firmware.
PS. Flashing T/U versions works even if your bootloader is locked (mine is).
Hey!
Thank you for your reply. I managed to Flash the U Firmware but WiFi Calling or VOLTE still won't work. I can over whatsapp and it's cool I guess but would be good especially when calling some people overseas who don't UE whatsapp as wifi calling means no international roaming charges.
That or also the ability to just flash about any custom Roms would be cool too.
Hi all,
I'm trying to get my wife's E6683 phone to work with WiFi calling on EE in the UK. The phone was bought third-party and has generic (non-EE) firmware on it.
I *think* i need to download and flash the EE firmware onto the phone for this to work, since there are no options for WiFi calling present on the current (vanilla) firmware.
So I have the following questions:
1. Do I need to flash EE firmware onto it, or is there another way?
2. Can I flash the EE firmware onto it *without* wiping the phone?
3. The only UK EE firmware available is for the single-sim E6653 variant. Various posts suggest this is ok to flash single-sim firmware onto the Dual SIM equivalent, but can anyone confirm? (I don't care if the Dual SIM aspect of the phone stops working)
4. Is it a risky process? I'm semi-familiar with ADB and I've flashed phones before, but I'm no expert. I found a guide on hardreset.info, but are there any better or more specific ones?
Many thanks for any help!
