Need some help with QPST and a rooted/deodexed EB13

First, I've been reading on this forum for a while and have learned a lot. Thanks for an awesome forum!
I'm trying to use QPST 2.7 (build 355) to change some settings in my Sprint Samsung Epic 4G, but am having trouble and am hoping someone here could help out.
So, QPST was working good until I used Odin to install the rooted and deodexed EB13 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209.
Since then, QPST refuses to recognize my phone.
Originally I followed the QPST guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780742, which worked awesome, but since the deodexed EB13 upgrade, it just wont see that my phone is plugged in...
I tried adding the phone to a new port (in QPST config), but it doesnt list the phone in the Add New Port box anymore. With, or without the "Show Serial..." box checked. It used to, when I was on stock Froyo, but not anymore.
Is there another way to change the M.IP profile settings, other than with QPST?
History:
Originally I had Eclair, then I installed the official stock Froyo (EB13) that Samsung released (and later pulled). I loved it, didnt have all of the problems others had, but wanted root so I could fully customize the phone, which is what drove me to these forums, and ultimately to the deodexed rooted EB13 mentioned above.
I should also note that, since I switched to the rooted EB13, I've tried using QPST on multiple computers (Mac, Windows XP, Windows 7), all with the same results; QPST doesnt recognize the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it in pda mode? In ##8778# make sure uart and usb are set to modem
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I'm not sure if it's in PDA mode or not. The code, ##8778#, wont do anything when I punch it in. As soon as I enter the last # the entire number dissapears from the display, as if I never entered anything... strange eh?
These codes use to work, before I installed the rooted / deodexed EB13. On stock EB13 I used ##data# quite regularly on my phone, so i'm thinking it has something to do with the rooted/deodexed version of EB13 I installed with Odin?
Does all of this have something to do with the fact that this version of EB13 is rooted and deodexed?
At a loss...
**EDIT:
FIXED THE ISSUE! Thanks chris41g
My phone wasnt recognizing when I entered ##8778# because I froze (using a bloatware freezer app) several apps that I thought were unneeded. As soon as I unfroze all apps, it started recognizing the codes. I changed both UART and USB to "modem" and viola! QPST recognized the phone no problem. Nice

I cannot root my phone PERIOD!!!

I don't know what else to do...
1st USB debugging is ON
I've tried using oneclickoot on my PC, and on my mac. I get the message Phone is not connected....
I've also tried that Bonsai Unlocker and the program cannot communicate with the phone.... so I bought a highly rated new data micro usb cable.
Guess what? I get the message Phone is not connected still on my MAC, PC and Bonsai unlocker.... WTH????
Now what?
Would a Data Factory Reset be of any help?

Install the Samsung drivers, if they are already installed re-install them.

This.
Make sure you unisntall them
Reboot
Re install them ...
Reboot
then try and Root ....
Keep trying with different ports ....

Turn off anti-virus. It may be seeing it as a threat.

If it says phone is nor connected then its the drivers. The computer didn't recognize the phone.

Yeah took me awhile. had to use my buddies evo cord and tried a bunch of different ports. tried his mac. his mac book and my desktop. I still cannot connect to my pc i just got lucky that one time to root. The one time it worked i dialed ##8778# and switched back an forth to PDA and modem on both the usb and uart. It was probably just a coincidence.

I had the same issue, it ended up being a defective phone of all things. 2 diffrent computers could not see it (osx and xp), nor read the sd card.
When I got my ec05 replacement, the getprop msl method didn't work either. I had to use the log method and go into the data menu and it popped up in a log for me.

But it's not even connecting on a MAC and I don't need drivers for Mac....
This can't just be drivers for windows.... the phone gets connected.... I can navigate the folders and all, copy files and such it's just the root that's not working for some weird reason.
I can also navigate the phone folders on a Mac, but again the root through a Mac wont work...
I bought a Blackberry cable, but I read the reviews and a lot of people recommended for Android devices as well..

What one click are you using?

I'm using the latest 3.1.0.1 and I've also tried the previous one can't remember the version from the top of my head now...
I'm telling you.... I'm giving up...
I just won't work... I don't know what else to try...
Maybe I'll buy and HTC and call it the day!!

i was having the same problem with 3.1 i had to use 3.0.2.5 then i flashed the new one... ill put a link for you u when i find it

I want to try a hard reset but i cant see my msl number using the conectbot and getprop commamd...
Is there another way to get it???

Getting your SPC\MSL
There is many possible ways to get your MSL for your Epic 4g.
1. If you still a Sprint customer you can call Sprint and ask for the MSL of your Epic, this is the most easy way to get it but not all CS representatives will give you the code.
2. Search and install “ConnectBot” from the Android Market, open the app, in the small dropdown box on the bottom left that says “SSH”, click and select “local” instead and on the “nickname” box put “Android” and hit Enter. On the new black screen with the “$” type “getprop ril.MSL”, you will get your 6 digit code, if that doesn’t work, reboot the device and try again. If it still doesn’t work type only “getprop” in this case you will get a very large command output scroll up and down and look where it says {ril.MSL}: {xxxxxx} the 6 digit number is your MSL
3. By using ADB, send “adb shell getprop ril.MSL” or “adb shell getprop” if the 2nd command is used you will need to look for the {ril.MSL} output

Do you have the ability to try a non-mac. They aren't known for playing nice. Plenty of people have had luck bringing their phone back. I'm kind of one the refusing to believe you have a strange phone that really doesn't want to work.

I've tried several times on my pc as well. Will try again tomorrow since i did a hard reset today and see what happens..

Take the battery and sd out and leave it alone for a day or 2. As hard as it sounds, people have had major luck.

Try this. When you put your device in download mode it does install additional drivers.
Power phone off wait for the vibrate to tell you it is off
open keyboard hold down the 1 key and hit power
should come up to yellow triangle with a droid shoveling

In order to install drivers properly you may need to disconnect and reconnect the phone from the cable several times. And make sure any security programs aren't flagging the root program files as dangerous. That includes not only AV programs but some firewall-type ones too (like Comodo).

[Q] VZW CDMA Galaxy Nexus DIAG Mode

Does anyone happen to know the command to enter DIAG mode? So that I can get a com port to enter my settings using QPST or CDMA Workshop.

I looked at the store and couldn't find a quick way to do it. No phoneutil.
Anyways just purchased one, so I'll keep looking.

im still trying too, its not easy to do like most phones would be

*#*#4636#*#* pulls up testing mode if thats what you're looking for.

that doesnt help us any plus all lte phones have that, that's a given

Played around with USB tethering and thought it might bring up a modem or com port. No luck there.

My gn froze today. Before I pulled the battery I wanted to try ad reboot. When I plugged it into my PC it started loading drivers its never installed before. One driver was for a modem (not the one for USB tether). There were 2 more drivers trying to load, but I pulled the battery and don't remember their description.
If my phone freezes again I will get more details.

Theoretically, but it does not work/stick.
Edit: It didn't for me anyway.

So has anyone had any luck yet? I just got this phone and was hoping to flash it to metro but I cant get it into DIAG. I was thinking that maybe we could put phoneutils back into the system through a rom or something like that?

VIA chipset... Not Qualcomm. You'd have to use diff. software than QPST / CDMA WS as well.

Hi I am not sure about the VZW galaxy nexus Biyi definitely got into diag mode on the sprint galaxy nexus via *#*#3424#*#*, I'm the past though with Samsung devices VZW and sprint differ. The main problem I had was that once plugged into a USB port there are no appropriate VIA diag drivers.

Drivers are here: http://www.mydroidfiles.com/downloads/TBH/SamsungFlashingUtility.7z
I "restored" my VZW GNex to the sprint build with the posted CWM stock sprint files and was able to access this menu as well as *#*#3282#*#* & *#*#000000#*#* (000000 is vzw msl). I was able to load the modem drivers but I do not see a Diag device looking for drivers.
Using the SamsungPSTLite app in the above archive I was able to "see" some QPST style data but it does not look editable.
VPST is used by others to edit via chipsets. I do not have a copy of this though so am still on the hunt. Wanted to pass along what I have found so far.

Well I poked around and found a few things with the tool, but I made the mistake and hit a write by accident and looks to have corrupted my nvram. My MEID is now blank as well as all data in settings -> about. Sadly I can no longer use the *# codes above to get back into a mode (corrupt nv??) that I can restore what I had earlier backed up So heed this as a warning and if you have any ideas to correct this please let me know. My device works fine outside of the above and no connection to a carrier..
I ODIN'ed to factory and retraced my above steps.. ultimatley flashing CWM back to the same sprint software I had backed up but still no hidden menu commnads *# other than: *#06# shows no MEID and *#*#4636#*#* pulls up its usual as it did on the default vzw build).
Anyone know how to force a dialup modem connection other that the *#diag command? or a tool to force the *# commands? Or better yet another way to restore default nv settings?

Did you try *#*#33284#*#* ? You need your MSL though.

A few questions on flashing to Boost

I have an epic sitting at home that is useless as of right now because I no longer have a plan through sprint for it. I have a samsung replenish that I am using right now with Boost, and I am considering making it a donor phone and flashing the Epic over to Boost. Having this little thing really makes me realize just how awsome those Super AMOLED displays are. Anyway, I have a few questions before getting neck deep in this little endevour. First off, I don't want to be stuck on Eclair, but as I understand a Factory reset is necessary to get the 3G working, I read that people were abale to flash to Froyo using a few tricks, I was just wondering if the same works for Gingerbread. If anyone is running a Boost Epic on GB I would like to know how it is working out. Also, once the phone is flashed to said version of Android, can I just flash any rom on top of it through CMW without having to make tweaks?
And finally, I can not get either the Replenish or the Epic to read on CDMA Workshop, I have tried debug, non-debug, and diag modes and any combination, I have tried reading the phones in recovery mode, I have rebooted, restarted, unplugged, switched cables and ports....nothing...the phones both show up as modems and have their ports listed in device manager, but they absolutely refuse to show up, if anyone has any tricks that they could share regarding this issue it would be much oblidged
I know it's a lot but I figured I would try and cover all of my questions in one thread rather than making a bunch of seperate ones. BTW I have been researching for 2 days now, if there is something obvious that I missed, I apologize in advance, but I have tried other methods of resolution before creating this thread...Thanks in advance for any advice that you guys can offer...

We have a guide on here did you consult that? And I know that there is an alternative carrier fix for cm9 so you "could" get that puppy on android 4.0 =]. As for the computer not detecting... did you install the mobile drivers for the phones? I think you might need to if you haven't. I know when odining you need those I suppose the same for cdma workshop. Hope this helps at all =]. if you need the guide ill link it here.
Flashing Epic 4g to Boost Mobile Guide.
In this guide he is using the incognito but as long as you have a cdma phone to use as a donor phone you should be fine. If you havnet installed the drivers for either phones then this is most likely your issue. Also according to the guide you CAN flash other ROMs. The only thing that needs to be tweaked is the sms settings.

Yeah, I have looked at the guide, I was hoping to clarify on the few items that I wasn't clear on. I have installed the drivers for both phones and Odin does infact recognize each one, I use it to verify the Com ports that the phones are on...i'm baffled :/

After hours more of trying...and researching..I still can not get past the initial step of getting cdma to read my phones...either of them. Is there a section on this forum for requesting services? I dont care if I have to pay to get it done, I want my epic on boost...

I doubt it... but who knows. I dont see why they wont detect. They should if you have the drivers installed... maybe try just having one of the phones drivers installed at once... which ever phone you have to start off with have that phones drivers installed only. so unistall both then install just one that you need then unistall that one when the other one needs to be used... and you might want to reboot in between driver installations. drivers can be very picky. Or you could try another computer...

I'll give it a shot, its something new at least...I will post my results when I am done..

I know some having success doing this because they had their epic touch and epic 4g drivers installed once they unistalled both and just installed the epic 4g the computer would recognize it.

tried uninstalling all samsung mobile drivers and installing the drivers for each phone by themselves, still nothing...I am downloading a new set of drivers now, they are generic Samsung mobile drivers.I'm not expecting much but its all I got at this point...

HMM i know which samsung drivers work great for the epic but i think you need device specific drivers for the replenish.
32 and 64 bit Drivers I know the drivers here work great and i have used them with every epic i've rooted... I just learned that the drivers im linking you to work for the replenish .

awesome, I am trying them as we speak...

ah crap, those were the same drivers that I downloaded for the Replenish, still a no go...the fact that neither phone works would tell me its on the PC end, and drivers would be the number one suspect, but alas...they just aren't making a difference in my results..

Yeah you might need to try another computer. The usb ports could be bad/out on that one depending on how old it is. Or it could be the usb cable as well you'd be amazed at how much trouble is cause by those. Have you tried a brand new blackberry cable? those are the best cables at getting things recognized. What i dont get is that odin will COM the phone.... and this is in download mode right?

no, it coms both phones in debug mode, I have a few blackberry cables lying around that I have picked up on Amazon that I bought for Odin. Thats what kind of has me scratching my head too. It is an older laptop though, Id say about 4 years old, running windows 7 x64...I have checked QPCT as well just to see if it recognizes the phones and it doesnt either, so I guess it's some issue with my com port's compatibility with the mobile phone software....I will see if I can get away with doing this at work tomorrow, it may be tricky but my boss is old and senile lol

Well I tried it at work with no luck yet, which just leaves human error in to play...not sure what though, I've covered all of the options that I have come across. The replenish I could understand, but the Epic is documented to work just fine with CMDA WS...I just don't get it...

A couple things to try...
1. Connect the phone in normal mode (so it asks mass storage, etc) and let the drivers install.
2. Unplug, turn on USB debugging (Settings -> applictaions -> Development), plug the phone in and let it install ADB driver
3. With phone plugged in switch to dialer and hit ##8778#, then switch USB from PDA to Modem. Your PC should install another driver (Diag port).
Make sure you leave the Epic on this screen while accessing it via CDMAWS or any other program that uses the diag port.
I had major issues with the Epic, but that sequence finally got everything working. I still need to plug the phone in before enabling the diag port, otherwise stupid things happen.
This was all with an XP computer (three actually, before I figured out all the correct steps).

Thanks, I'll try that when I get home, I actually haven't tried putting it in diag mode while plugged in yet, I have always put it in diag and connected it...heres hoping..

ok, I finally got the replenish to connect, I found a way to root it and that worked like a charm....the epic however is still a no go...rooted running CWM 5, in diag mode, switched to modem, recognized as a modem....but still..failed...phone does not answer...any other suggestions guys?

Needs download mode not diag mode whatever that is... hold the 1 on the keyboard and the power button (yellow triangle) make sure is not in modem mode and you must flash the kernel from mkasick for ei22 search in xda "epic 4g gb kernel source" should me the first thread (ei22) kernel source with keyfix. Scroll to the bottom and find the gb3a.tar this is what you odin before cwm5 and it should stick. Then you can flash an su.zip and your done.

I was on EL30, which from my understanding worked as well. I flashed the gb3a and I am rooted with CWM and I installed SU, I just still can't get cdmaws to see the phone...I tried fix permissions, in CWM, not even sure what that does, but I tried it...i'm desperate lol. I have tried tether mode, switching ports, attempting while in recovery, and I get nadda....EL30 was what I had factory reset to, are you saying that I should flash back to ei22 for cdma or were you saying to do that to get it rooted?

No my appologies I, just read you rooted correctly. I'm not sure why it refuses to recognize the epic. Other than a better cable, or different usb port. I dunno. That or there is gunk in the epics usb port or in the computers. Should be in modem mode I'm assuming if your messing with the phoney. Stuff ='[ sorry.

First of all I think your caps lock is broken or you're yelling for no reason:thumbdown:. Now, for your problem have you tried uninstalling and reinstilling the drivers and samsune kies? You need to uninstall reboot the PC and then reinstall kies and then reboot the PC again. Also try different USB ports and different cables. :thumbup:
