Years ago I decided to help out the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge community by
making some custom roms for them. With that, I also made some special data zips
that allowed them to flash a rom for other carriers, and then fix their data by
flashing these zip files.
Essentially, if you flash a custom rom built for a different variant of your
phone, it has the wrong files needed to handle your phone calls and data with
your variant of phone. I got the idea for someone who did this exact same thing
for a different phone, and just applied it to the Note Edge.
Just a week ago, a person on XDA contacted me and wanted to know if I could
make one more data zip for their variant of phone, since none of the ones I
made before covered that particular model. It took a little bit of back and
forth, since I don’t have the phone anymore, and I certainly didn’t have their
model of phone, but we were able to put together a data zip that worked great
for the Canadian W8 variant of the phone.
You can download the finished result here:

Or read more about it on_the_XDA_thread_for_it. If you need to do the same for
a different phone or model, you are welcome to download my zip, extract it, and
look for similar files for your phone and put it back together.
