How To Enable Volte
How To Enable Volte
- Install the Qualcomm Drivers > select the first (defualt) option "WWAN-DHCP is
not used to get IPAdress"
- When your phone comes back after restart, go into its Settings...
- Navigate to Settings > Wifi & Internet > SIM & network > select SIM1 (or SIM2)
and take note of which is in use.
- You should now see the 'Enhanced communications' area with VoLTE toggles
available.
That's great, the next step is to configure your new found VoLTE/VoWiFi functions
to work with your newtwork provider.
Leave your phone connected to the PC via USB
- On your PC open the "OnePlus VoLTE Tools" directory. Go into "VoLTE MBNs"
directory and select your Network Provider (Optus, Telstra or Vodafone)
- Copy the single file "mcfg_sw.mbn" into the directory "EfsTools-0.10-modded-1.2"
- Now, with the "EfsTools-0.10-modded-1.2" folder open, click on the address bar at
the top (it should say "OnePlus VoLTE Tools > EfsTools-0.10-modded-1.2"), it'll
turn blue...
- Type: CMD
-This should open a command prompt window in the correct directory - it should say
something like
C:\Users\xxxxx\Desktop\OnePlus VoLTE Tools\EfsTools-0.10-modded-1.2>
- Back to your PC in the command window, you should be able to test connection to
EFStools by typing:
EfsTools.exe efsInfo
(Hit Enter)
- You should see some white text with no errors like "Use serial port 'COM4'
Version: 1, MaxDirectories: 50, MapPathnameLength: 1024, MaxFileSize: 0,
MaxFilenameLength: 768, MaxMounts: 36, MaxSymlinkDepth: 0"
If you see red text with errors, ensure your phone has the "Rndis,diag switch"
toggled on, or reinstall the Qualcomm drivers.
- Copy and Paste this code, and hit Enter (for SIM1):
Copy and Paste this code, and hit Enter (for SIM2):
- You should see a line of white text like "Use serial port 'COM4'" with no errors
Copy and Paste this code, and hit Enter (for SIM1):
Copy and Paste this code, and hit Enter (for SIM2):
- If it worked your screen should spew out a load of white text. Mine had a single
red error in the middle of the white text but it carried on fine.
- That's it. Now just reboot your phone and you should hopefully see a "VoLTE"
symbol next to the network/wifi icons (though it may only show once you pull the
notification shade down)
You can test if VoLTE is working by turning off WiFi and placing a call. The VoLTE
symbol should remain on. During the call open a browser and navigate to a web page
to ensure that data is still working, this tells you that it hasn't dropped back to
3G voice.
As for Vo-WiFi - I find that mine says VoLTE most of the time but if I make a call,
it usually changes to "VoWiFi" during the first few seconds of the call.
Just a note about the Volte MBNs configuration files. Aussie VoLTE MBNs are hard
to come by. The ones included in this guide are from a Google Pixel.
Most guides I've seen are using MBNs from a Xiaomi MI9T. I tried these first and
found that while VoLTE calls worked perfectly, 4G Data was completely broken all of
the time, while on a call or not (OnePlus 6 on Telstra network). For this reason I
opted not to include them in this Guide.
