Anyone get this working, the old method doesn't work. The computer found the phone and installed the modem. Does the Samsung Focus S have different connection strings?
In the diagnostic screen there are more options than the Samsung Focus:
Zune Sync
Modem, Tethered Call
Modem, USB Diag.
Zune Sync, Modem.
Modem_QC, USB Diag.

internet sharing was loaded by default on my system settings.
Turning it on will trigger AT&T to enable the Tethering Plan. When I turned it on few months back on my Focus AT&T sent me a card within a few days stating they would turn on tethering automatically unless I called to tell them no. I used the USB tethering prior for 6 months with no word from AT&T until the I turned on internet sharing.

I see. I was hoping running this would keep AT&T from turning on the tethering plan.

That will not prevent it at all. Without that you won't be able to turn it on, but once you do turn it on AT&T will message you saying if you continue you'll automatically be enrolled in a tehering plan.

The exact thing happened to me. I've USB tethered my phone since January no problem and a week or two after trying internet sharing I got the message from AT&T. I figured the internet sharing triggered that but in fear of loosing my unlimited data plan I haven't tethered using either method since. Have you used USB tethering since getting the message with no problem?

Yes, few months with no issues. I called AT&T yesterday and asked if any more "tethering" triggers came through and they confirmed no. I am 100% positive the internet sharing in system settings triggers the plan if you don't pay for one.
The USB method that original worked for the Samsung Focus doesn't work on Samsung Focus S. I have tried on 3 different computers that worked previously; I can easily connect my Samsung Focus but receive dial-up error 628 or error 619 on the Focus S, the strings have be different. The main reason I upgraded was the 4G speeds which are amazing on this phone.
I have uninstalled all the drivers, deleted the modem and reinstalled with no problems. I just can not get past the error. We need to get us new Samsung Focus S owners our modem back

Awesome! I'm tethered now and I'm trusting you that this is safe!
I didn't need to delete my old modem or uninstall any drivers. I plugged my phone in and it didn't even install new drivers but this worked right away.

I think I changed too many settings in my modem which caused me to uninstall everything. Hopefully the quick route will work for most people! I am glad you got it working! I have never had AT&T notify me this way, only using the Mango tethering option.
Hopefully we can add this to a sticky and under the Samsung Focus S section when it is up and running.

Good job. The Samsung Focus S forum needs to go up soon!
Hello is there any way to make usbthetering on Omnia7 available? wolud be very nice
Have you tried following the same steps used for the Focus / Focus S?
Alternatively, have you tried a search?
USB tethering for all gen1 devices, even things like the DVP which otherwise have very little homebrew, has been known for many months. I don't recall if you had to tweak it slightly for the Omnia7 or not, but I don't think so.

Hmm, I seem to have a problem. I get the phone set to "Modem, Tethered Call" no problem, but when I plug the phone into the computer the install new hardware wizard fails with the message that it "can't find the necessary software."
Any ideas?

Are the instructions in this forum so that I can use my 3G connection on my Samsung Focus S by my laptop that doesn't have Internet?
Or is it the other way around so that I can use my laptop's Internet connection so that my phone will be able to have Internet as well - just by connecting to the USB port?
I'm assuming it's for the former but I'd also like it if someone could point me to the latter.
It's for the former. For the latter, that's built-in; just connect the phone to the computer by USB and start the Zune software. It will create an Ethernet connection over USB for the phone to use, off of the PC's Internet connection. You could also use Internet Connection Sharing from the PC over WiFi, and connect the phone to that (it may help to use software that causes the PC's WiFi to appear as an access point; I'm not sure if the phone supports Ad-Hoc networks).

Awesome! I didn't know that Ethernet connection over USB was able just by having Zune and the Windows Phone. Tried it and it works great!
Would that only work with Windows Phone or any other phones/devices I use while Zune is running?

Where I can get this app "Network"?
Some of those steps are placebo, and unnecessary. That will only get you 1x internet, and dependent on your location you may/may never get 3g to work they've been blocking off more cities from flashed phones from getting 3g..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I am using a HTC One V CDMA (Virgin Mobile USA) in India on Reliance CDMA network. The phone was flashed to Reliance and everything is working fine ie I can make/receive calls/sms etc. 1x / EVDO credentials have already been written to the phone.
Now the issue is that I am not able to enable data or the data connection doesn't get enabled automatically. When I try to enable data it says "Disconnected because service is unavailable". But if I press the "Activate this device" button in the settings section, an activation screen 1..2..3 comes up, then wait for 3-4 sec, the 3G symbol gets displayed meaning its able to make a data connection. Now if I go back to the settings page and enable data it successfully connects, and I am able to access internet at EVDO speeds. But after some idle time, the data connection is automatically disconnected and to reconnect I need to repeat the above process. Even if I intentionally disconnect data and try to reconnect, it doesn't happen and I need to go through the "Activate this device" process.
I believe some sort of initialization is missing which is done during the "Activate this device" phase and hence I am able to connect. What could be the reason for this? Is it some setting/configuration that needs to be enabled?
Please pour your valuable tips to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Fixed the issue with auto connection of data, not sure what fixed it exactly, but here are the last changes that I made after which it started working.
You need to use the tool QPST (I used version 2.7.378, an older version didn't work) for this.
In the M.IP tab, disable all profiles except profile 1
Then edit profile 1 and make changes (check attachment)
Then in RmNet tab enable auto connect for device 0 and 1.
After that
PPP Config --> Um --> Enter user/pass as "net" (Req Pw enc should be unchecked)
PPP Config --> AN --> Enter the EVDO credentials given by the MEID registrar (Req Pw enc should be unchecked)
Please note that I got it working merely by trial and error and some of the above changes may not be required and I am not even sure why they are necessary , but with the above configuration I am able to enable data without any problem.

Well, I had loaded the NVDump earlier, but as I had mentioned it would connect first but if you disconnect or get disconnected it wouldn't reconnect.
Check if the SPC is correct, cause I never got any error like that.

You are talking about Reliance CDMA right?
If yes you need to get the MEID registered, will cost you about Rs 500. Reliance store guys will not do it, have to get it done through some 3rd party provider.

3. i am using the handset since 10 months.

But i am just getting 1x speeds.
Only thing i feel, i am missing out is on the username,Password,NV file,akey etc.
I have not received the above details from my reigstrar
Can u please guide me how this can be done to start evdo speeds.
Thanks in advance

Without the correct EVDO credentials, you won't be able to get EVDO speeds. You need to check with your MEID registrar.
NV dump is not really required and the same can be configured manually if you have the credentials as I have described above. Since you are able to make and receive calls, it looks like the Akey is already set.
so that means if i dont get the credentials from the registrar EVDO can never be started on this handset??

You could check with some other person who does MEID registration, maybe they can retrieve the credentials. But without it, EVDO will not work.

Simply by loading the Reliance PRL file, you should have voice signal, if not you are doing something wrong.

I don't think that would be a problem.
Make sure you are using the right PRL file.
No above steps required.
You must have flashed NV Dump already.
Your phone must be activated via *228 already.
Just perform below mentioned steps :
1) Put your phone in Diag Mode by dialing ##3424#
2) Get HTC Diag Mode driver if you don't have it already
3) Download DFS Demo version from DFS Website
4) Connect your phone with DFS, send SPC
5) Now, go to Programming tab -> Data ->
6) Click Read
7) At PPP tab, write "net" (without quotes) to SIP NAI, UID, Pwd field.
Restart the device and here you go, your device would get connected to internet instantly.

Keval,
I recently bought a HTC One E8 and am using Reliance CDMA on Slot-1 and facing this issue.
Would the steps jotted by you help me?
Thanks,

Here is what I’ve done to manually update the PRL on my new G2. I don’t want to debate the reasons for this. But here’s one way to do it without rooting.
NOTE: This method, to obtain your MSL, only works on the the ZV8 and ZCA software versions. They changed something in ZVC and later versions.
Note: The easiest way to get MSL/SPC code is to just dial ##443336772# on your dial pad and you don't even have to be rooted.
Note: SPC is your MSL. They are the same things.
Note: All this was done on Windows 7-64 bit.
Part 1, Connecting the phone in diagnostics mode:
Install USB drivers. http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGD801BK. Use the Tmobile D801 USB drivers since it is the same as the AT&T drivers and the LS980 page only had directions to update drivers via the LG Mobile Tools.
On the phone, enable USB debugging in developer options (tap the build # in Settings > About Phone > Software Information, 7 times to enable developer options).
Dial ##Diag# (##3424#) enable diagnostics mode.
Connect phone, select "charge only"
Check windows device manager to see if you have a com port. It should be listed as “LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COMxx) (xx=port #).
Part II, Get your SPC/MSL:
Get Basic Flasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394499. (Great tool! Please thank the poster "bigfdaddy2” and make a donation at tiny.cc/oriax123donate if you like it.)
Open Basic Flasher, password is oriax123.
In Basic Flasher:
A. Click the “Scan” button.
B. Select the “LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COMxx)” and ensure the COM port on the drop down menu next to the "Scan" button matches the COM port listed in the display section (see attached screen shot). If it does not, manually select the correct COM port in the drop down menu that matches the LGE device.
C. Click the "Connect" button.
D. Click the “Read Device” button. The screen should populate with you MDN, MIN and SID.
E. Under Method, select "LG"
F. Click “Read SPC”. The SPC field should populate with your SPC.Note: Stop here and disable the DIAG mode (dial ##3424# and select disabled) if all you want is your SPC/MSL.
Part III, Update your PRL:
Click the “…” next to the PRL field and browse to the file location of the PRL you want to load, select the PRL. In Basic Flasher:
A. Click the “Send SPC” button. The dialog will show “Device Unlocked”.
B. Click the “Provision” button. The dialog will show that the MDN, MIN and SID have been written and the phone will reset.
C. On the phone, go to Settings > About Phone > Status and see if it shows you new PRL number.
D. On thee phone dial ##3424# and disable the DIAG mode.
I was also able to connect the phone to DFS (after getting my MSL with Basic Flasher). But didn’t have success writing the PRL in DFS. I used this 16 digit password EBB4EDB0B8B8C2BD in DFS. It reported “Device Unlocked” but if I tried to write anything in DFS the com port would lock up. Not sure what the issue there is, perhaps it would work if rooted.

Thanks for sharing the steps. Did you have any problems enabling diagnostics mode prompting for SPC?
Dial ##Diag# enable diagnostics mode. * Newbie Post. If phone is not activated first, SPC will be prompted.*

Nope, no problem with accessing the menu.
When i first tried, it was showing the COM in basic flasher, now adb has installed and now i can't get COM showing so i can't access the info for my MSL
I can't get this thing to scan for my device. I have the adb drivers installed already but when I try to Scan in Basic Flasher tool, it keeps telling me "No Device Found". I even opened up a command prompt with adb and did a "adb devices" query and my device shows up.
Anyone else having issues or advice or what to do?
Slightly off-topic, is there a good way with ROOT to get your MSL? For some reason, getprop ril.MSL doesn't work in Terminal...

Mine shows the ADB interface and the com port in device manager too but not having any issue finding the com port in Basic Flasher. Maybe uninstalling and re-installing the drivers would help.

I added a step to set method field to "LG" before clicking the Read SPC button. I just noticed that I forgot that step when I repeated the process for the screen shot and got an SPC error with it set to "NV". Try reading it again, can think of any reason why it wouldn't work with root.

If you don't have the com port listed under device manager it won't work. You have to be in diagnostics mode (dial ##3424#) and have the USB connection on the phone set to "Charge only" for the ports to show up.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. still won't show it. It did the first time, before windows downloaded drivers when i plugged the phone in.

I finally got it to work. I didn't have Diag mode enabled. I guess I totally skipped Part 1. However for Part II your procedure needs some additional steps. Suggested revision of your steps. Let me know if you like and if so maybe add that to the OP.
Part 2, Get your MSL:
1. Get Basic Flasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394499. (Great tool! Please thank the poster "bigfdaddy2” and make a donation at tiny.cc/oriax123donate if you like it.)
2. Open Basic Flasher, password is oriax123.
3. In Basic Flasher:
A. Click the “Scan” button.
B. Select the “LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COMxx)”.
C. Click the "Connect" button.
D. Click the “Read Device” button. The screen should populate with you MDN, MIN and SID.
E. Under Method, select "LG".
F. Click “Read SPC”. The SPC field should populate with your SPC.

A few more slight changes in bold based on feedback from people that had some difficulty when trying out this procedure in Part 2.
In part 1, I updated the link and reference to the USB drivers to use the AT&T/Tmobile LG G2 drivers since they are made for the LG G2 vs. referencing Sprint Optimus G LS970 drivers. I personally use the Tmobile D801 LG G2 USB drivers for the LG G2 and it works fine on the Sprint model.
Part 1, Connecting the phone in diagnostics mode:
1. Install USB drivers. http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGD801BK. I used the Tmobile D801 USB drivers since it is the same as the AT&T drivers and the LS980 page only had directions to update drivers via the LG Mobile Tools.
2. On the phone, enable USB debugging in developer options (tap the build # in Settings > About Phone > Software Information, 7 times to enable developer options).
3. Dial ##DIAG# (##3424#) enable diagnostics mode.
4. Connect phone, select "charge only"
5. Check windows device manager to see if you have a com port. It should be listed as “LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COMxx) (xx=port #).
Part II, Get your MSL:
1. Get Basic Flasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2394499. (Great tool! Please thank the poster "bigfdaddy2” and make a donation at tiny.cc/oriax123donate if you like it.)
2. Open Basic Flasher, password is oriax123.
3. In Basic Flasher:
A. Click the “Scan” button.
B. Select the “LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COMxx)” and ensure the COM port on the drop down menu next to the "Scan" button matches the COM port listed in the display section. If it does not, manually select the correct COM port in the drop down menu that matches the LGE device.
C. Click the "Connect" button.
D. Click the “Read Device” button. The screen should populate with you MDN, MIN and SID.
E. Under Method, select "LG".
F. Click “Read SPC”. The SPC field should populate with your SPC.

Thanks again! I've seen people having problems with the drivers and the default behavior of the program to start with the lowest numbered com port. I hope these changes will make it easier for people to get their MSLs.

Thanks for updating the OP. Although I notice it says in the OP ##Diag# (##3434#) instead of (##3424#).
Btw I took your guide and made a sticky on another forum but made the instructions more generalized.

No problem since your guide has helped many folks obtain their MSL and I was able to verify that this method works to get my MSL. I am all for helping my Sprint brothers and sisters access their MSL to triband LTE testing.
If you are curious I did some B41 LTE testing last night and posted some screenshots in this thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524824
I also did some further B41 LTE testing today on another tower and I almost hit 60 Mbps!!!!! Talk about making use of that Clearwire 2.5 GHz spectrum.
Deleted, found out you have to turn off anti virus to let this through, boy is this easy to use :good:

thanks for your help.
How to fix "ERROR 16 - Switch ???" on gs3 flashed to boost mobile.
This is what I did. Hope it works for you
Might work in other cases.
Take battery out of flashed phone.
Connect Donor Phone
test donor phone and see if you can connect (make a test call, try to get onlne)
if not <contact boost mobile>
if it does, then connect it to pc and get PRL form it.
Load QPST, under Start Clients menu, select Service Programming.
Click Read from Phone and enter MSL (000000).
Then Save to file. This will save a .qcn and .rl0 file.
In QPST, under Start Clients menu, select RL Editor.
In RL Editor, load your .rl0 file. Go to File, Save As..., make sure type is *.prl and enter a file name. Save file.
Turn off Donor and remove battery
Connect Flashed Phone
What You Will Need
The DFS CDMA Tool
Your MSL number (Sprint) or SPC number (Verizon, this is usually "oooooo").
Obtaining your MSL/SPC number is as easy as calling up your carrier and asking for it. They will freely give it to you. Other options include using the MSL Finder app. If that does not work, you are probably on Jelly Bean, so you will need to make a quick call to your carrier.
Step 1: Enable Use of DFS CDMA Tool
The use of this tool requires a non-standard USB connection (i.e. Download Mode, or just DM).
Open the Dialer and type in ##DIAG# (##3424#).
Click on "Qualcomm USB Settings" and select "DM + Modem + ADB" then press "OK".
Plug your device into your PC and go to Device Manager.
Locate "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port" and remember the COM number (in this case, COM5).
Step 2: Load Device into DFS CDMA Tool
Open DFS CDMA Tool. If you are using the Demo version, there will be a small countdown and the app will launch.
In the upper left-hand corner, hit the "Ports" button and select the port you found in Device Manger.
Double-click the port, and double-click it on the bottom to load your device into the software.
Enter your MSL/SPC number where it says "SPC" and hit the blue arrow. You should see the log show "Device Unlocked".
Step 3: Write New PRL
Hit the programming tab, then the NAM sub tab.
On the right-side, load the PRL that you want, then hit "Write".
Disconnect your device, go back to Step 1 and put your device back to "MTP + ADB". Back out of the menu and reboot your device.
Confirming PRL Change
Go to Settings -> About Device -> Status. Scroll down to "PRL" and confirm that it has been changed.
Take battery out of flashed phone. Again
go to "boostmobile" and login/create your account.
goto update handset
enter info for another boost phone (not donor, not flashed phone)
turn on 2nd boost mobile phone
go through the steps and test it for connection (calls, internet)
turn off and take out battery.
goto update handset again
enter info for Donor Phone (not 2nd Boost phone, or Flashed Phone)
turn on Flashed phone
go through steps, reboot
nJoy.......
