I have been trying to get wifi calling with AT&T is working on my International S7 edge. I have made headway.
1. First of all I told AT&T I had their branded S7 edge and gave them an IMEI that will show up that phone. So I can activate my phone.
2. I have narrowed down the required apks to the following, but some are obviously for the Wifi Calling, and other's I am not sure. If people know what some of these apks do, please let me know.
3. I have used the Note 7 Port and flashed TTKG CSC selection and chosen the ATT CSC, we are still working on getting it working in the S7 and Edge CSC.
4. The following APK's I feel are related to Wifi Calling are.... If you can help me eliminate some that aren't. They are deodexed, and I have uploaded them, you will need to change the permissions to match the ones in the system folder.

5. I am unsure if I need to make Buildprop changes or I am missing other system files. I was able to activate wifi calling and turn it on, but it doesn't work.

Did you ever get this resolved? So far I can not for the life of me, get WiFi Calling working on my S7 Edge exynos. Basically throws an error stating the activation failed, and never brings up the screen to enter in my emergency contact address like AT&T is supossed to re-direct you to.
The activation fails because AT&T doesn't have an AT&T wifi capable phone on your account which then allows you to activate the wifi. I have two imei's that are linked to AT&T s6 and s7. I can give you the imei. Go to att tech support give them the imei and tell them to update your account to be able to get visual voice mail and wifi calling. After you do this, they will alow you to activate it. However I gave up after a while. If you flash the custom csc, you must do it before your phone boots up after a factory reset and flash a custom rom. I am waiting as I am on Nougat now, so until ATT updates it's apps again.

Thanks, although I'm a bit confused on the steps your outlining here. I assume you're stating that I'll need to somehow modify a ROM (in this case SAC's N7 ROM for S7 Edge Exynos), and inject an IMEI? I'm not entirely sure how to do that to change the IMEI (this would be my first time attempting to do that). Then I would reflash that image, and then re flash the CSC update to AT&T? Maybe I'm not understanding, but my iPhone 6 is on my account and fully capable of wifi calling. In fact we have 2 iPhone 6s on the account. What exactly did you give up on?
Hate to sound like a newb here (although in a way... I am), but can you step me through the process so I can follow your line of thought? Appreciate the help!
So first of all an Android WiFi Calling and IPhone Android WiFi calling are different you will need to tell at&t you have an AT&T branded Android phone that has WiFi calling. This will lead at&t to add the ability to add wifi calling on your account.
Have you rooted your phone and installed a custom rom? If so then you would flash ttkg84's csc package and choose att. Which will flash most if not all the files. I got all the way to confirm my address and enable wifi calling, but it never worked.
Do not insert another phones imei into your phone, you will brick it and will have a expensive paper weight.
I have given up for now and am waiting for a full release of Nougat.
PM my I can give you am imei to give AT&T to enable video calling, visual voice mail and give the ability to activate WiFi Calling, but it's not likely to work. Some things are still missing.
You may never get wifi calling working because at&t uses a slightly different method then everyone else. I think they will standardize with Nougat.

That's what I thought.... So what about the King of Nougat ROM that's lingering out there currently? I realize Nougat is still beta, but have you tried the beta?
I haven't tried King of Nougat. I am currently using Nougat? Are you on telegram?

So... Interestingly enough. I just got WiFi Calling to work this morning...
Basically, I did the following steps:
1. No SIM Inserted into Galaxy S7 Exynos - SD Card only
2. Reboot to Recovery
3. Wipe
4. Download and Install SAC23's Full n7 ROM located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-n7-rom-port-romcontrol-t3430358 - I did the V8 Debloated version
5. When prompted - Wipe Dalik
6. Insert SIM Card from AT&T iPhone (ensured WiFi Calling was turned OFF on the iPhone prior to removing from iPhone)
7. Reboot first time into N7 ROM
8. Go through the setup and connect to a WiFi location that you know WiFi calling works at.
9. Download a browser (Chrome or whatever) at a minimum
10. Eat a Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich :good:
11. Reboot to Recovery
12. Flash CSC for the N7 located here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-t3450911 - Grab the CSC snapdragon the Exynos zip
13. Reboot
14. Status bar will indicate VoLTE enabled up at top eventually.
15. Try going to the pull down from the top, and clicking WiFi Calling option a couple times.... no dice.
16. Try going to the phone app --> Click Settings --> Note WiFi Calling is off --> Try clicking it on a few times.... you'll get an adroid app stopped working.
17. After sitting on this sceen for a few minutes, note the VoLTE dissapears, and the icons on the phone app screen (The Call Start Button and the Call End button) switch to WiFi magically.... Try making a call with 0 zero cell reception, and indeed, the call is being made through WiFI on AT&T's network.
Now.... I have absolutely zero idea what's going on with the VoLTE icon disappearing.... and the WiFI calling suddenly working. If you reboot the phone, the same thing occurs. It starts in VoLTE.... and then eventually disappears, and eventually after a couple of minutes being connected to a WIFI connection, switches auto-magically to WifFi calling.
I'll take some screenshots.

Followed the method above using Superman 1.16 and CSC selector 1.86.
Haven't been able to test wifi calling since I haven't found an area with wifi and no cell reception, but so far everything looks like it's working.
Important to note that the AT&T account probably does need to be provisioned for a G935A rather than G935F, which is done by reporting a G935A IMEI to AT&T (and not changing it on the device itself) as mentioned previously.

Hmmm, gotcha.... but if you report a G935A they typically want you to power off and power on the phone to check the provisioning while on the phone with them. And what happens if someone calls in and then tries to re-provision the same IMEI on another account? What happens to my SIM in my G935FD? Thanks!

Far as I can tell they don't check IMEIs against different accounts.
I can't say for sure, but I haven't had an issue as my phone has a different IMEI (or IMEIs--G935FD) than the one listed on my account (which reads as a G935A).
In short, asking AT&T to change the IMEI on the account hasn't affected or changed the IMEIs on my phone, or caused any problems.
As far as provisioning, I told them I was on the phone, so they called me back a few minutes later and didn't report any issues or discrepancies to me.
It'd be just as easy to tell the rep the phone isn't available though, so just ask them to change the IMEI and you can call them back later if there are issues if that's a concern.
Looks like great news. I was happy I was able to activate my 935F via AT&T (I gave them the actual IMEI and they activated it). I'm on Superman ROM and flashed ATT CSC. I get visual voicemail and the WiFi calling button, but it doesn't actually work. I'll see if I can get a valid 935A IMEI and ask them to activate again. Hopefully that will do the trick. I get a horrible signal at home, and the 4G/LTE icon is constantly flickering on and off... AT&T Video call option shows up in settings, but won't turn on... no wifi calling setting in the settings menu, just the quick settings button.
Any guidance appreciated!

I'm gonna make a post here since NOTHING seems to be working. I'm a T-Mobile customer. Yesterday, I purchased a great condition nexus 6P from someone because my LG G5 is cracked and I was getting tired of it anyway so I opted to just buy a nexus instead of using my insurance on that phone. Everything is all good except for one major issue. VOLTE and WiFi calling just refuse to work with my sim in the Nexus.
I've called T-Mobile twice. I've factory reset from back up and reset settings twice. I've hard reset from stock recovery once. I've wiped network settings and restored default apns. I've manually changed the apns from what I see on Google, reddit and here. I've copied my apns from my LG G5 where VOLTE and wifi calling work perfectly fine. I've cleared cache. I've cleared the cache of the project fi and hangouts apps just in case there's something left over from the previous owner. I've gone into the *#*#4636 menu and tried a bunch of different stuff several times but no matter what I absolutely can not get wifi calling or VOLTE to work with TMobile on my nexus 6P. LTE it's self works perfectly fine for data.
Yes, all settings for wifi calling and enhanced LTE calling and VOLTE are turned on lol. I've tried the trick where you toggle wifi preferred on and off and restart the phone. Nothing happens. I don't even get a wifi calling reg error. It never shows as active in the data toggle in the quick settings are nor the status bar or dialer. It just isn't active. Same for VOLTE. I AM getting band 12. I can see it in the LTE discovery app. VOLTE just isn't working though. Whenever I make a call I can see LTE switching off and it switches to HSPA therefore making calls really difficult in my shoddy signal area at my house which is why I really need it to work.
I'm fairly certain I can root and install a ROM which will fix these problems but I don't own a PC. . I thought MAYBE the previous owner had previously had the phone rooted and tinkered with something somewhere that may have messed something up but that doesn't appear to be the case. Bootloader is locked and recovery is stock.
Can anybody help and tell me what in the world is going on here? I don't want to have to sell this nexus and revert back to my cracked screen G5. I would just switch carriers but I still owe money on the G5 so I was just gonna ride it out til I payed it off.
O and one last thing, after scowling google and forums for hours on end yesterday and today I did see one post mentioning something about this stuff being related to IMS provisioning and settings which are tied to a phones IMEI on T-Mobile and not the sim card and how that person simply called T-Mobile and got a hold of wifi calling technical support who was clueless but created a ticket for him and within 72 hours the issue was resolved. OK well I did the same exact thing and they refuse to create a ticket for me because it's not a T-Mobile phone and because according to them they are not allowed to create a ticket because wifi calling works fine in my G5 and therefore it's the phone and not them or their network lol. What a crock. I'm willing to bet if I put the sim in another unlocked phone with 7.1.1 and wifi calling fully available that it isn't going to work either. There's some sort of communication error going on between the sim being in this phone and their network it appears.
Check these screenshots out. T-Mobile is clueless

I can only suggest;
1) Find a PC and re-flash the latest factory images from Google. Both "fastboot flashing unlock" and "fastboot flashing lock" will wipe all data, so backup first. Also confirm it fully boots correctly after flashing before you re-lock the bootloader.
2) Get a new 3-in-1 SIMM from T-Mobile. You can use their web site to switch cards and give it 24 hours to be fully provisioned.
3) Confirm your E911 address is correct on T-Mobile's site and wait 24 hours after any changes for Wi-Fi calling to actually start working.
I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS YOU POSTED!!! GONE THRU THE SAME PAIN. LOL I'll attempt the ticket thing to see if I get anywhere. Did you ever get it resolved?
EDIT:
My theory is that since the phone was used in Project FI, they specifically turn off this feature in the back end for the specific phones, by Imei or something since project FI uses T-Mobile as well.
EDIT 2:
they wont' create a ticket for me either. I guess I will just have to ride it out.
EDIT 3: I FIXED IT!! NEXUS 6P VOLTE AND WI-FI CALLING FIX T-MOBILE
I flashed back to android 6.0 Build#: MMB29N (I used the Nexus ToolKit 2.1.9: google it. BTW, your phone will be wiped, so backup first) VOLTE just started working with this version of android 6.0. Then I upgraded using the OTAs and now i'm on 7.1.1 build#: N4F260 with VOLTE and Wifi calling working as it should! I hope this helps someone out there!
For what it's worth, reverting to the build you mentioned fixed it for me on my two Nexus phones coming from Project Fi to T-Mobile as well! Thanks for the help!
You only need to install the radio from build MMB29N. I did this by downloading the build from the android website. Extract the radio from the zip and install it (I used nexus root toolkit but you can also just use flashboot if you wanted). This means you don't even need to revert your image and lose your data.

wish I had seen this sooner. cheers!
Had the exact same issue and this fix worked for me. Wasted a couple of hours with T-mobile (they were actually very helpful and debugged everything on their end to confirm the provisioning was good) and then 2+ hours with Google support. Actually had already filed for a device replacement which I canceled after finding this post.
I'm so glad I found this thread - my VoLTE and WiFi calling has not been working on T-Mobile and I'm anxious to give this a try. Numerous phone calls and support tickets with T-Mobile haven't resolved the issue. I don't know much other than how to follow detailed directions. My phone isn't rooted and bootloader is locked. I'm on Android version 7.1.2. Is there a way for me to install the MMB29N radio on my Nexus 6P without losing my app data given that my bootloader is locked?

Flashing the radio -sadly- requires an unlocked bootloader.
Did you resolve your problem?
In android 7.1.2 did you notice in Set preferred network type is set at " LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) "? 7.1.2 has been giving me issues with sms/mms. I noticed Android 6.0 has this set to correct T-mobile bands.
All works for me in 7.1.2. Make sure you don't download the Verizon version of the stock ROM. That was my issue why I couldn't have volte and Wi-Fi calling
Hi I have a samsung galaxy s7 edge SM-G935FD unlocked , have been using it for a while and use it mostly for the 4G hotspot for my laptop , I have a new wifi AC adaptor on my laptop which connects to other access points no problem, however seems that while the S7 edge will connect to a 5ghz Access point, the function of 5ghz mobile hotspot under the "broadcast channel" seems to be disabled from advanced options as it just does not appear to be there .
If i turn off wifi sharing , the advanced options for selecting the channel on 2.4ghz appears but nothing for 5ghz.
I am wondering if it is disabled in some regions for some obscure reason, and if perhaps i install a different rom that has the function available , has anyone noticed this as days of searching google i find how to's on turning on the option on the same model but the option is not available on mine.
Now Ive asked Samsung support and they were pathetic the operator didn't even seem to know what wifi AC was , let alone that i was asking about the hotspot feature rather then connecting to an access point , but really did not provide any useful information , in the end i gave up talking to them as they clearly had no clue.
On a Samsung S7 configuration page here :
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00047789/
under the "configure hotspot " it clearly shows an image of the Configure hotspot Advanced options having the option of selecting the 2.4ghz band or 5ghz band , yet that option is not on my phone , and that makes me sad
I am wondering if this option can be enabled in some way with a custom or rooted rom , and what others have under advanced options and what rom / location they are running.
Hope someone can help , theres not much said about it anywhere.
thanks
S8+the same issue
I can not find my 5ghz hotspot broadcast channel option too.
I am pretty sure that it's not g930/g935 f/fd manual . I have both flat and edge version ( both exynos ) and there is no option for 2.4 or 5ghz !
My old G4 had this option to choose, but I can't in a newer Samsung S7, go figure...
5GHz WiFi Hotspot Solution
I'm using the Galaxy S7 Duos (SM-G935FD) running Oreo 8.0 rooted. This issue bothered me for a while because I had the same problem ... No option to run my hotspot on 5GHz band. In my case, I wanted to run 5GHz to avoid interference caused by my household microwave oven (which operates at 2.4GHz).
So here's what worked for me - your mileage may vary ...
First off, you have to be rooted.
Second, though there are probably other options, I strongly recommend using the app "CSC Features Expert" by Wanam (a brilliant developer).
So open CSC Features Expert, and tap on where it says "Used features only!". You'll get a drop-down selection where you'll want to select "Wifi". Now below that you'll see a bunch of esoteric options. Scroll down until you see the option "Support Mobile Ap 5 G". Tap on that, and a small window will pop up allowing you to edit the CSC feature value. You'll want to enter the text "TRUE" (without quotations) and then tap on "Save".
Reboot your phone, and you should have the ability to set 5GHz band under "Advanced Options" in your Hotspot configuration.
Hope this helps some people. ?

Hello
I am working on the same problem, and I'm on NFE port 9.0, which this app isn't working. However, I find one of these "other option", that is modifiy the cscfeature.xml file manually.
Unfortunately, there is no <SupportMobileAp5G> tag in my cscfeature.xml. I tired add it myself, under the <SupportMobileApOnTrigger> tag. It doesn't do anything.
I also download a Oreo rom, unpack it, check its cscfeature.xml. Still no luck.
So it will be so kind if you tells me which rom are you using at the moment you post this.
Thank you

Hi there. Like I said, I was running Oreo 8.0 (stock) ROM at the time. Since then, I've already sold the S7 I was using and upgraded to the S10+. Sorry I can't provide any further assistance with this issue anymore. Best of luck!
Hello,
On my s7 edge I did manage to activate the 5ghz WiFi hotspot (I used as described above CSC Features).
However: the mobile hotspot is working, yet no other device is able to see it. The other devices and the S7 edge successfully join my home 5ghz.
The one thing I am suspicious about is the number 149 appearing under the 5ghz switch - see the attached picture. I suppose this is the channel a and if I manage to change it the 5ghz mobile hotspot will be visible.
So my questions are:
1. How to change the channel?
2. Can you please recommend me a custom rom where the 5ghz mobile hotspot just works?
Hello XDA, I appreciate all you have done for me and my tech endeavors SO I found it necessary to post my results with the community.
Recently I was gifted a Note 8, told it was paid-off, not wanting to wait 3 days for Sprint to MAYBE unlock the bootloader, I set off to work around that by searching through these forums to find that the solution was not as simple as I'm used to.
Here's what I've done to gain access to WiFi again.
Note 8 had Oreo installed (and SIM card removed) I used Odin to flash VZW's Pie (using SamFirm to download, as SamMobile is painfully long). Everything finished installing, but before rebooting the final loading screen sorta stalled, then proceeded to boot. As you may know, it showed the Sprint logo (I panicked and held the down button to put device into safe mode, for control). Next, I decided to go through the Pie setup without allowing the device to access Wi-Fi or Data. Turn on airplane mode ASAP. After I got to the home screen, I stopped ALL automatic updates in settinga, opened developer options, running services, and cancelled everything that would let me, specifically: Chameleon, Sprint Hub, Sprint Voicemail, Sprint ID, RootPA, DRParser Mode, MTP Application, bootagent, Sprint OMADM, com.sec.phone (THIS ONE made the difference in ADB, I was actually able to communicate with my device, see the serial code and everything!, THIS is why I wanted to share with this genius community..and this next one, maybe?), com.samsung.android.smartswitchassistant, tethering automation, and security policy updates. Stop all of those processes, and force stop/disable/remove permissions from all of those (when switching device or WiFi on/off, monitor the running services for those & keep them shut off or they WILL help Sprint "seal the deal"). Make sure to disable/force stop "configuration update". After that I entered PhoneUtil by going to the dialer and pressing ##3424#, then switching the UART from PDA to CDMA MODEM.
Now, I turned on my WiFi (with airplane mode still on), and signed into my router, seen Sprint Hub trying to process a request, went to running services, shut it down & force stopped it, seems to stay off until the phone was restarted, at which point I shut it down.
Again, by doing all of this I was able to get ADB & Kingo Root (desktop) to fully recognize the device, I was able to access Wi-Fi & run "harmful" apps that could help use bruteforce our way past the bootloader lock. SO if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.
Thanks again!
Hi all,
Greetings I'm new here. Just found this XDA forum last night. What happened was:
a. I have a G7 XT1955-4 and it suddenly has no signal. The sim can be detected, though. It's showing StarHub (I'm in Singapore) and my number.
b. IMEI looks fine, too, but noticed that it's showing Radio Off. Can't be turned on even though using *#*#426#*#*.
c. I read this forum and after many tries, I managed to fastboot using https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ocean/official/RETAPAC/ (I chose XT1955-4_OCEAN_RETAPAC_10_QPOS30).
d. Other version such RETAPAC 9 or RETAIL 9 and 10 didn't work.
e. However, after fastbooting using the version on point #c (it can load and I configured it just like a first time setup after factory reset), the problem persists. Still no signal and showing Radio Off. What can be done here?
Note:
I'm no programmer and I just managed to get it work by trial and error.
Is Ocean same as River? Either way there is also a setting unset settings, network @ internet, mobile network, preferred network type, make sure that's right, sometimes rocking the settings will fix it. Except your is showing radio off , is a g7 retail ocean? I have not reinstalled stock in years, so I can't remember, but you know a g7 is "river" though, right?

Sorry, I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I seem to see it somewhere on the phone that it's Retail Ocean. Upon further investigation, I start wondering if it's actually a hardware problem...
Sorry was too early and messed up with auto correct, something I found that helps is, playing with settings, found in, settings, network & internet, mobile network, preferred network type(LTE CDMA and so on), make sure that's right, sometimes rocking the settings will fix it. Also there is an APN setting, make sure your carrier is right. Also there is airplane mode and data mode, make sure airplane mode is off, make sure data is on. On custom Rom the worst case Is like getting g3 instead of 4g or 4g instead of volte, a setting I have seen that will keep a phone from connection properly is APN, make sure. If its not one of the above I have never seen it. Have you tried installing a custom ROM with success? Also Motorola now has program, forgot what its called, it'll reflash a stock phone, haven't used it in a while but it'll probably automatically download the correct firmware, maybe it is called moto helper?, also Sim cards can go bad, my g7 has been threw 2-3 already.
