Hello guys/gals, wondering if someone can advise me on getting Wifi calling enabled on an unbranded Galaxy S5.
I am a current EE (uk) customer still tied into them with a S4 contract. Just bought an S5 for a good price and want to take advantage of EE's wifi calling as my signal at home is dreadful.
The S5 i have bought is an unbranded version and comes with a BTU firmware. I am aware that an EVR (EE branded) firmware is required to use the feature.
After hours of googling I have come across the following possible options availible to me, but wanted advice on what is the best method eg most likely to work without problems.
Option 1:
Remove the Hidden.img file (and recompile with total commander) from an EVR firmware (to prevent the Ext.4 error that odin would throw up when trying to flash) then flash this with odin.
Cons: maybe something in the Hidden.img is required by the firmware and phone may be unstable ?
Option 2:
Root phone and edit CSC to enable the wifi calling feature
Cons: Does it actually work ? I know it enables the option but not seen definitive proof it actually works.
Option 3:
Flash the EVR firmware and repartition with a .PIT file, to enlarge the partition thus allowing a branded firmware to be flashed on an previously unbranded phone.
Cons: Apparently this is a very risky procedure and i have only seen one thread and instance of somebody actually doing this http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showt...t=26841&page=2
What do you guys think?
Anyone done it and can vouch for a method (or think of another method??)
