Original ROG phone update.

[ZT-a9606218]

When is Asus going to provide Android 11 update to this poor phone that I bought 3 years ago? And enable 4g VoLTE as well being in January 2022 3g will be discontinued starting with AT&T hence according to AT&T as well T-Mobile state that the original ROG phone will not work on their systems in 2022. Any relief for those of us who bought this phone?!? It seems Asus cares more about the ROG 3 and up then they do a 3 year old phone? Heck Samsung and OnePlus are still updating phones they sold 3 years ago. My OnePlus 6 is running Android 11 and will still work on AT&T and T-Mobile after the 3g shut down vs my ROG phone. Can't even sell it on eBay because of this issue.

What is interesting is that from some research that the ROG 2 had the same issues as the OG ROG hence Asus did enable VoLTE on T-Mobile with many folks complaining too. Guess I am not the only one here. Hmmm.
"Only our North America Team can answer this question. All queries regarding FOTA for the U.S needs to be addressed directly via our North America support line or E-mail.
But... I can say that we are aware of the comments made around VoLTE, T-Mobile, AT&T and that we are working with the mobile operators"

You still don't know what you're talking about.

All it takes to add VoLTE is modifying your EFS partition and you need an Android ROM that supports VoLTE, then you're done, but your research skills aren't quite up to par as it seems.

Also ASUS abandoning the phone is the only logical conclusion since even the community doesn't give a damn about the phone anyways.

I suggest asking people who know what they're talking about if your post makes sense before posting here, thanks.

Yes, one can do a hack to enable VoLTE. But it is not an easy process and not a guarantee to work read on at xda developer. Plus, custom ROMs don't enable VoLTE on a phone. Not that I have seen and I used to do custom ROMs in the past.
It is better for the manufacturer to do this than for an average Joe with limited skill with programming.
As far as people not giving a care about the ROG phone didn't spent $900 plus on it back in 2018. Hmmm.

There are no Custom ROMs on the net for ROG phones that enable VoLTE. Sorry to tell ya. There is a hack over at XDA that will do it on most ROG phones, and it is complicated tho. Hence on works on T-Mobile not AT&T.
Next.

If you say so. Over at XDA there is a hack, but complicated at best. And no custom ROMs on the net has VoLTE enabled for ROG phones. Hmm.

Yes, a custom ROM could be done that much is evident. But, Asus must update the phone's firmware to support VoLTE and/or VoWIFI in the U.S. something one can not do with the source code apparently from a simple search there are some hacks to do this trick but it is only temporary in nature and flimsy at best.

If the Rog supports VoLTE on a hardware level then any developer could enable VoLTE on your phone given you have the sourcecode. However looking at XDA and other platforms, nobody seems to care about the OG Rog Phone.
Example on how the community enables VoLTE on the Rog2: https://www.getdroidtips.com/vowifi-asus-rog-phone-2/
as for your "hacks" I doubt it.
