Call Duration Timers

I wonder if someone know how to reset Call Duration Timers which are located in Settings->System->Device Information->Call Duration tab.
Any solutions for this?? Any apps to reset??

This is from a different OLD post but it worked, so share and share alike.....
a). Please make sure that you are SuperCID and you understand the importance of hard spl as this maybe a dangerious operation for you.
b). Make sure that you have SPL 1.10 Olipro (this one works for me, higher version seems not work)
c). Downloan Mtty.exe file in the attachment below and save it to your computer.
d). Open connection setting of your activesync or WMDC on your PC and disable "Allow USB connection".
e). Put your divice into Bootloader mode and connect to your PC via USB
f). Run Mtty.exe from your PC
g). Selec "USB" in port box and then click OK
h). Press Enter once or twice to let the screen dispay "USB>" or "CMD>"
i). Type "rtask b" and Enter then it should show result "0"
j). then type "ate1" and Enter then it should show result "0"
k).then type "atv1" and Enter then it should show result "OK"
l). then type "[email protected]=270f,270f" and Enter then it should show result "OK"
Restart you PPC.... you call timer should be 00.00.00
Cheers...

thanks brother, but where is attached Mtty.exe ????

lol thats a lotta BS just to reset call timers is it that important?

Sorry rexmundi, that was just a txt file I have, If you do a quick search on the forum you'll find MTTY...
And yes, it was important, It shows I have COMPLETE mastery of my Hermes.... Mwah hah hah hah!!!!

Hehe, naw complete mastery would be changing the IMEI numbers.

There's a tool on here that is much simpler to use than MTTY. Just searched my files but I can't find it.
Try using google search on XDA for call timer reset tool and see what you can find.

You can, but I aint showing you how!
I am still of the opinion anyone wanting to reset the call timers or change the IMEI is doing it for the purposes of deception. My 2cents but as a member has already asked....is it THAT important to reset the timers for anything legit??
Just something to think about people.

carcomp, Got the instructions on how to do that too, But decency , and a healthy respect for the law prohibits my using it....
Cheers...

Mr Vanx,
Can you clarify please? Is resetting the call timers to zero illegal? If yes then I will withdraw my post above. If not then we have to assume that the OP has a legitimate interest.
I am comfortable that the IMEI thing is seriously dodgy but call timer resetting as a non legitimate activity is news to me.
Let us know so we all know where we legally stand.
Many thanks

Its not illegal to reset the call timers, but personally I see no reason to do it unless somebody is being deceived into buying a supposedly unused device?! I just dont see what other reason there would be to reset the timers thats all.

Yes it will be illegal if you reset your call timer and list the phone in ebay as a brand new phone. But if you dont do that, then its all good!

Thanks for the clarification. I was just beginning to be concerned that I might have given advice that could be construed as assisting an illegal activity!
I can see that zeroing the timers and eg putting a phone on ebay as a new phone when it is not could be an issue. However if I bought an item 2nd hand from someone in good faith and installed the rom of my choice, then I would want to zero the counters from the point at which I owned the device simply so I could have a true record of the calls I was responsible for making when ownership changed hands. For the record I have never had to use this tool.
A lot depends on the honesty of individuals; however almost anything that man has invented can be abused or put to a use that is negative, destructive or illegal. Take the abuse of drugs in our society as an example of what I mean.....
WB

What about if a person buys a phone off of Ebay or a friend and wants to start clean? Whould he be in the right to start with a 0 call timer since all previous calls were not made by him?

why does orange safeguard block xda?

orange (uk) has classified xda as only suitible for people over the age of 18 as it contains adult content ....... i dont understand this, what adult content? its a modding community not a porn site, can anything be done about this?

When I was an Orange customer, I had to ask them to turn off safeguard, PURELY FOR XDA AND NOTHING ELSE .
They did tell me that there's a page on their site where you can add a URL for a site that you believe should not be blocked, and they'll look into it. Since I was getting it turned off on my phone I never looked into it. If you do look into this, make sure you use the forum subdomain (forum.xda-developers.com, not www.xda-developers.com). It'll probably just go off the domain name, but better safe than sorry.
You could be responsible for fixing the issue for ALL xda users on Orange!

yeah im gunna nag them about it lol its stupid tho, my fuse is on vodafone and they dont have any problems with letting me on here lol i can't use my debit card to turn the safeguard off either cuz u need a credit card lol

can i ask whether this is with the phone you are browsing or using a mobile broadband dongle
ok
i had this trouble when i first used xda
the sloution is
for mobile broadband dongle
change the APN
if you can find it it should say orangeinternet, change this to consumerbroadband and voila
xda is unlocked
now for the phone
if you find its once worked but stopped then delete everything from opera
ire cache, cookie and history
then turn off phone and remove sim card
then once it back in it should work if this doesnt then alll i can suggest is going to
sart / settings / connections / connections
then make sure it says orange internet at the top of the screen
click on mange my existing connections
on the next screen , a tab called modem, make sure orange internet is selected from list then click edit
you should then get a screen saying enter a name for the connection, leave this as it is
then press next
this one should say access point name
and ir should say orangeinternet
change this to consumerbroadband
click next then finish
you should now be able to browse xda on you phone

How I flashed my Evo OFF Boost and fixed the MEID

EDIT: found out that though the method I wrote up here works fine, there is a simpler way. I'm leaving the original post because I learned a lot about my phone in the process and maybe someone else would want to as well.
EASY WAY:
unroot your phone and return to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141
hard reset (from hboot) and it resets everything to stock
when you call in to sprint to activate they will have you do this: ##yourmslcode# and enter your MDN and MSID
BAM!!! you're all done
I bought an Evo on craigslist cheap. The MEID on the phone was good. The one stored IN the phone was not a Sprint MEID. Also, all the settings for MMS, data, etc were changed and unusable on Sprint. The Sprint store told me I was screwed and the local cell store wanted to charge me $100.00 to fix it. I spent close to 20 hours on forums trying to figure out how to fix it. The answers I got were conflicting, and people were generally not helpful with comments like RTFM and accusations of doing illegal stuff. So, I decided I would share what worked for me to save the next guy from the same anguish.
This tutorial will probably suck so don't ***** at me if it does, at least I'm trying to help. Also don't look to me for help or blame me if you break something I AM NOT AN EXPERT. That said here you go:
#1. Download needed software:
HTCDiagDrivers
QPST_2_7_Build355
QXDM31136
#2. Root Phone
Follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
(make sure you use a Sense based rom not AOSP)
#3. Get MSL Code
Connect phone to internet via WiFi
Go to Market on your phone
Install "MSL Reader"
Run it and write down the code
#4 Install and Setup Downloaded Software
Install QPST
Open QPST Configuration from start menu
Click on "Ports" tab
Click on "Add New Port"
In the field "Port" enter "COM4" (THE PORT ON YOUR COMPUTER MAY BE DIFFERENT. COM5, COM6, ETC)
In the field "Port Label" name it. I called it "Evo"
Click "OK" and exit
Install QXDM
****My computer (Win7) had issues installing these automatically. This is what I had to do to get it installed:
-extract zip
-Put Evo in Diag mode ##3424#
-plug in Evo
-go to "Device Manager"
-find the Evo (you should see it with a "!" by it)
-right click it and select "Update Drivers"
-click "Browse my computer for driver software"
-click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
-click "Have Disk"
-browse to the location of the extracted "HTCDiagDrivers" folder and select the driver
-click "OK" and let it install
#5 Make your MEID writable:
Follow this tutorial Steps 1-5:
***The following thread doesn't explain Step 1 (flashing the radio) so I will tell you how
(1)RADIO
-download radio 2.05.00.06.10
-(DO NOT EXTRACT) copy to your phone's micro SD card
-reboot into recovery
-select "flash zip from sd card"
-choose the radio you copied to your card
-reboot
http://cdmagurus.com/forum/showthre...id-on-the-Evo/page7?highlight=clone+evo+boost
Immediately follow on to the next step
#6 Write Your MEID
(I initially tried another command found in this and then in a different post and could not get the MEID to stick after a reboot so this is what I did)
Copy the MEID(hex) from the back of your Evo underneath the battery
Put Evo I Daig mode ##3424#
Plug Evo into computer via USB
Open QXDM from start menu
Go to "Options" > "Communications"
Click the drop down menu next to "Target Port"
Select "COM4" (or 5,6,etc)
Click "OK"
In the field "Command" enter: "RequestNVItemWrite meid 0x&&&&&&&&&&&" replacing the "&"s with MEID from the back of your phone
Exit QXDM
Reboot Evo
#7 Restore provider settings for data, mms, and such:
***Call Sprint to activate your new phone. Probably best you don't tell them your issues. I didn't do the programming as they had told me but I said I had. This may or may not be important, but is what worked for me. Write down your MSID when they tell you it.
Enter EPST from the dialer ##3282#
Select "Edit"
Enter you MSL code
Select "Advanced"
Select "MSID"
Enter the MSID Sprint gave you
Hit menu
Select "Commit Modifications"
Let phone reboot
Enter EPST from dialer: ##3282#
Select "Edit"
Enter your MSL code
Select "Data Profile"
Press menu button
Select "Restore"
Phone will reboot and run a bunch of stuff. Let it run until it gets to "Checking for Firmware Update" press cancel (might not be important but it's what I did just because I didn't know if it would mess up my "rooted" ROM)
#8 Flash back to stock or the ROM of your choosing and enjoy your Evo!
If this How-To was unclear or I left something out let me know. I know there are many methods and I don't suggest this is the best, only what worked for me.
Here is a link to a similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937652
It doesn't deal with anything having to do with MEID but might be helpful

This will work with all evo's or only ones with older Hboots and older partitions?
Thanks
Oh, and I do believe you but your name makes it a bit harder to, LOL.

I don't know what it will work on.
The Evo I did says hw v 0003 in settings > about phone
When I vol down + power on it says:
supersonic evt2-3 ship s-off
hboot-2.10.0001
radio-2.05.00.06.10
Before doing this I had updated everything hoping it would somehow fix it. (radio/nv/etc except) and had flashed CM7RC2, myn's warm, and several others just to play with it. I read some that someone with hwv4 having issues downgrading radio but that might have been user error. Also, from what I understand you can zero out the MEID to make it writable (Step#5) using other methods without having to downgrade the radio. This is simply what worked for me.

nice write up

Cloning an esn either way is wrong, if you break into security of a bank to return stolen money, you still broke into a bank just with good intentions, may be a bad metaphor but you should get the point, cloning both ways is illegal

I'm not going to get into this ridiculously played out debate and really it's off topic. If you can link to an actual government site that clearly states editing the MEID for such purposes is illegal or cases of actual criminal prosecution please post links.
Repairing the MEID is not like breaking into a bank to return money. That's absurd. It's like restoring the VIN on a car or ID# on a car stereo (which btw if have a car stereo you bought from some guy in the state of WI and it doesn't have a serial number it's a $500 fine just for having it in your possession even if there's no evidence it was ever stolen) If I had repaired the serial # on the stereo do you think I would have gotten a fine for fixing it? Don't be silly

This is nj, if you need more you can look yourself, close thread, http://www.romingerlegal.com/new_jersey/appellate/a4869-96.opn.html

The end-result of this process is the creation of two telephones, the original and a "clone," that carry the same telephone number and serial number.
That is not what is going on here. The OP is not cloning, there are not two phones with the same number. I don't see anything wrong (morally or legally) with this.
OP = Good write up, and while it does not apply to me, I see how this can be useful to the Evo community.

Thanks iitreatedii for the link it was very informative but I think you missed the point.
Thank you rugedraw for clarifying.

oh lord no please no more talk of all this illegal esn business im going to throw gasoline on my computer and burn it down i have to hide all the evidence and claw my own eyes out for seeing this. i have a htc hero a epic 4g touch pro 2 and lg optimus all on boost with the same number if you catch my drift

LOL...that's too funny! I think people on here sometimes get carried away with what's illegal and what isn't. I know I might be going off topic but I remember when I had an iPhone back in the day and I mentioned to someone that I jailbroke it and they were like OMFG, that's illegal....you'll go to jail!!....I seriously doubt that the government is going to waste time and money going after ONE SINGLE person that jailbroke/cloned an esn or whatever......in these cases you read about how someone got locked up for doing such a thing it was because A. they were stealing someone's information/money or B. they got greedy and started running a craigslist/ebay business out of their mom's basement........SO LIKE jay said....let's cool it on the whole illegal/legal deal......no one has to burn a computer down or burn their fingerprints or change their names and move to mexico....ALRIGHT?!..lol...All the OP was trying to do was save someone the headache of researching the damn info themselves!
You either let the kid post it on here or it gets posted on some other forum....either way, the information WILL BE OUT THERE!

There are plenty of threads about the legalities out there. I'll say this and lets let it go:
1) although prosecution is extremely rare and most references to laws about it are out-dated altering an esn IS illegal.
2) people that get off telling other people that everything is illegal are probably just acting out because their parents didn't hug them enough growing up.
3) it is against forum rules because the forum can get in trouble because it is illegal.
4) REPAIRING the esn is not illegal and not against forum rules.
5) the topic of this thread involves REPAIRING the esn, not altering it.

i think the main issue here is that by showing someone how to "undo" it that person can easily figure out how to "do" it. it is a PITA to find all this info but by posting it here people who steal phones...(bastards) can have easy access by searching a few keywords.
i don't think it's wrong but this info could fall into the wrong hands and that would make my evo a target.

it's just like when I had my 88 VW GTI there is a easy way to break into one just jab a screwdriver through the door right below the handle and jiggle it. well I read about this on a website selling reinforced steel plates that you weld inside the door to prevent this.
the point is, you are empowering people by giving them the tools they need to change or clone an esn/meid. for good or for evil

Keep in mind that this write up is somewhat advanced, not every thief out there has any idea of what to do with the phone in order to make it 'usable'... all they want is cash. Note that there is high risk of bricking the device as well (since the procedure requires to mess up with the weakness of the EVO: its radio)
Also, this information has to have been available somewhere else thus the risk you run getting your phone stolen for this purpose is the same as it was before this was written.

[Q] 4G on Boost Mobile via CLEAR

Before I ask my question let me address the trolls that might mess up this thread and end up getting it locked.....
1. I'm not trying to ask for a guide
2. I'm not trying to debate whether is illegal or legal to have a flash evo on boost
3. I'm just asking a question, nothing more...nothing less
OK with that said, I wanted to know if anyone on Boost Mobile using the original EVO has successfully got 4G to work using Clear and if you did, how are your speeds?
The reason I'm asking is because I saw this video about a week or two ago and was like "OK, this is a joke and the guy is just full of it" BUT as I started to do my own research on it, I found that it might be possible. NOT as easy as the guy below makes it seem BUT it MIGHT be possible....

K, I'm not sure about Boost Mobile as I am not on their network, BUT, as I am on a different network myself. In my case, MobiPCS, which is basically the same type of carrier anyway. However, I'm guessing that it should apply with ye too.
I'm in the process of tying my 4G to Clear too. In fact, I've already made the modifications on my e4g to enable clearwire service on it and I've already confirmed that it works. I've as yet to actually activate my service (meaning unrestricted access to the internet) on it tho.
The reason why I think it should apply to you is that all the modifications are in the basic settings of the phone which has nothing to do with what rom you are using.
Before I start, I should mention that to cover xda and mine ass:
"You are responsible for any modifications done to your phone, the information provided are for educational and informational purposes. Any modifications done to your phone may result in an unuseable (bricked) phone which will be your responsibility to deal with. Under no circumstances will xda nor I will be held responsible for any damages or problems arising from any modifications done by you on your phone."
Ok, now that the legalese are out of the way...
Go to Phone and enter "##3282#" on the dial pad.
The phone will then initialize the EPST (don't ask me what epst means, I dunno ...yet).
It will then ask you which Mode you want to be in. I suggest View first to familiarize yourself without chance of screwing up something in there. Be aware a incorrect setting could result in a bricked phone, so be careful. When you are ready, select Edit Mode. Then phone will ask you for the MSL code. There are ways of finding out that code, but I won't get into that now, you can find that information by searching the forums.
Hit WiMAX > Realm
It probably will still be the default "sprintpcs.com." Change that string to "clearwire-wmx.net"
Hit the menu button and select "Commit Modifications." Be patient, it can take up to a few minutes for the phone to do the modifications.
You will know if the modifications took if the NAI string changes from
"[email protected]" to "[email protected]" Remember, "device_MAC_address" is the actual 12-digit MAC address of your phone. This is important: make SURE your listed mac address MATCHES the actual mac address printed on the back of the phone under the battery. If it's incorrect, I'm sure you can fix that, but you'll have to search these forums for that information as I did'nt have that problem with my e4g, but I DO have that problem with my e3D, but haven't gotten around to dealing with that (have other problems on my e3D that requires more immediate attention).
Back out of EPST and go to Setting > Wireless & networks > 4G settings. Click on 4G to turn on the antenna. It should then start saying it's connecting to network. Once connected it probably will say "Connected to Sprint" when you're actually connected to clearwire. I understand you can change the above string to "Connected to Clearwire" but I don't know how ...yet. I wanna do this myself too. Probably have to use Root Explorer (or similar software and edit something).
Go to your favorite browser and try connect to a website. Instead it should be automatically redirected to clear.com's page. This is normal when you don't have an account/service associated with the connecting device mac address. It should ask you somewhere whether you want to add this device. Click on it and it should then go to a page where it will ask you whether you want to use the connecting device. Check the bottom and make sure the mac address given there matches your device. If it is the same, you're good to go and activate service or associate that device to an existing service. Be aware that you can only have up to 3 devices associated to a given service, pending on the plan you choose. I currently have the Pick-2 plan and will soon upgrade to the Pick-3 plan which allows 3 different devices on the same account.
Once you activate new or associate an existing service to your device, Clearwire will add your mac address to it's server's list of devices authorized to connect to the clear service. And voila! your online with clear!
Hope this helps. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be cleared to connect your boosted e4g (sorry, couldnt resist the pun).

Thanks dude!!

Unfortunately, I called Clear today before doing all this editing and stuff AND found out that service isn't provided in the Pensacola area
I WILL keep this mind for when I'm in Jacksonville, FL which service is provided and try it out....THANKS again Lanaka!

Dude, chill. If you READ before posting, you MAY note that there is no phone cloning nor any subscriber fraud involved here. All we are doing is to tell the phone where to go connect for 4G service. No fraud involved when youre hooking up YOUR own phone to YOUR own phone and/or 4G service.
Oh another thing, ...lay off on the excessive abuse of red text. That is as tasteless as writing an entire post in ALL-CAPS.
Jeez, the immaturity of peoples nowdays....

Ahh, thats a bummers! I know the feeling bro! I dont have clear Clear coverage (pardon the pun, its NOT intentional, hehe) at home. However i have pretty good signal at most of the other places where i'd connect. I already have both mobpcs and clear services, separately tho, and generally hapy with both.

P.S.: before any other jacks start flaming away, please note the above is MY opinion only. If you aint got nothing to contribute but negativity, id rather you NOT post a reply AND keep it to yerself. Thank you very much!

Aloha Alienx.
Based on what you wrote it appears that you re not actually connecting to Clear's 4G service. You first must make sure that you are actually in the service coverage area. You can check by hitting their coverage map page:
http://www.clear.com/coverage
Next, check your notification bar, which service icon is on? 4G, 3G, 2X or 1X? Or is wifi on (the rainbow-like symbol)? I suspect you are either not in a service area and using 3G/2X/1X or using a slow wifi.
The reason why I think so is because if you try access Clear, their servers will first check your connecting device's mac address against their list of authorized devices. If it is not on their list your connection will auto directed to their web pages to be given an opportunity to sign up to their services. At this point you can then let them save your device's mac addy to the server's list of authorized accessing devices (assuming you signed up and paid for their services).
-Lance
PS: a final thing, make sure the EPST has the correct mac addy as your device's id. It has been know to happen where the phone's id number in the software side did NOT match what was in the hardware.

clear 4g
i have hit their home page (home dot clear dot com) on 4g using epic 4g going to add my device to my account ill let you know
set my realm to clearwire-wmx.com

[SOLVED] Share your .qcn file ?

I've been searching, following leads, tips and suggestions all over this forum and others, yet nothing has worked so far...
While trying to read my GS3 from QPST, the little progress bar stops about 25% of the way, and I get this error:
"The phone has stopped responding to memory read/write commands"
I think the NVRAM items are incomplete or corrupt. When I dump the .qcn file it's very small: around 5K.
So, I am going to ask if anyone can share their Sprint GS3 backed up .qcn file with me to recover my device?
I realize that your phone's sensitive data resides in here. Stuff related to 1X/3G and such. My promise to you is: I will not use your data and attach my device to the Sprint network. I simply need it to get beyond my current problem, that is all. I will immediately write my own data to the device, never will your .qcn see the network from here.
Please help me. It's been literally 6 weeks since this happened and I have no other recourse.
Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest just trying to find someone you know that also has a Sprint S3. I don't think anyone will be willing to upload their file for you, especially over an online forum.
Good luck.

I totally get that. It's not lost on me what info I'm asking for, thus my promise.

And that's my point. You can make all the promises you like, and I'm sure you have good intentions, but this is the internet and people just aren't gonna take the chance of risking themselves like this.

I hear what you are saying.
Having been a member here at XDA for 5 years now, I've seen how people help others and accomplish some really big things. I figured after all the frustration I have felt that someone reading this would help me out. Frankly, I don't even know if a clean .qcn image would solve my problem! But I have ODIN'd this thing several times, made sure modem matched the OS, performed factory resets galore, flashed modems in CWM, searched the wiki, youtube, ho-fo, new QPST version, new drivers, googled till blue in the face... you name it. I know with enough reading and enough knowledge the problem can be solved. The moderators always harp on not starting yet another thread when "the answers are all here... just READ" and tust me, my read/post ratio is easily 1000:1 but it never hurts to go ahead and ask.
The device responds well to QXDM, and perhaps my focus should be there. It's not bricked, and I found the MSL. The PRL is good, and it reports a strong signal, so it has to be something very small and very minor. Finding it is the key.
Even if someone dumped the .qcn from a factory reset GS3, prior to hands-free activation which contains no personal NV data. Would be helpful. I'm close to the solution for sure. Thanks for hearing me out.

Nv data is not cleared until you activate the device on a different line or network. No factory reset will wipe that data.

UPDATE: It turns out that DFS saved the day. Using version 4.6.4.1 I was able to view and update NVRAM values with no trouble. Note that DFS's log screen was kicking out messages such as ERROR and BAD_PARAM even though the result was parms written. It took some faith not to throw in the towel. It's possible the same kind of flying blind could have worked with QPST, it's just that DFS was a bit more intuitive.

Where did you go to update the QCN file in DFS?

It's likely my original assumption of corrupted NVRAM, and thus corrupt QCN was incorrect. So, I never did use DFS to update my .QCN file. Like I said, it took some faith and flying blind, but the end result was a functional GS3... Does that answer the question?

No, but I did get QPST working to find out that my modem was too updated.

Anyone share here QCN file for my Mega.. I need it now. Thanks
