Does anyone know how to put the G Nexus Jelly Bean in Diagnostic Mode, like for flashing it for another carrier, you know, QPST, and all that stuff.
I really need it, like 2 weeks ago i bought a GN and its f*cking awesome, just flashed Jelly Bean, and i cant get it into DIAG Mode.
By the way, ,the following doesnt work:
*#*#8778#*#*
*#*#DIAG#*#*
##DIAG#
##8778#
Anything else?

Have you tried the default Android testing menu?
*#*#4636#*#*
*#*#INFO#*#*
Ok, I flashed the Cyanogenmod 9.0 and the *#*#DIAG#*#* actually worked, i get into the menu that let me select between PDA and CDMA MODEM conection.
BUT!! It kinda doesnt connect like a Samsung Modem or anything like that, it shows me two new devices in the Device manager:
1) In the modems it shows a "VIA Telecom USB Modem"
2) In the Other devices shows "INTF2"
And when I try to connect it to DFS or QPST it doesnt work.
Im shure i need some drivers or something, but i dont know which ones.
Any clue?

Oi, hit thanks instead of reply. O well.
I doubt you'll be able to 'flash' the phone for any other carriers through any menu available through the device itself, if that's what you're intending to do.

Well Its just matter of changing the MSL and the PRL and modifiying the Data parameters and sh*t like that.
And Ive done that like a thousand times with several HTC's Samsungs and Motorolas(Thats actually my second job, seriouslly, i get paid for doing this), I just need to connect it in diag mode and have the drivers.
Which is beeing really hard to do right now
Obviously using my laptop to change the parameters
Same problem
I have been struggling with the same problem for 2 weeks. Have any one found an answer. Can use 'better cut' to write prl, however can use qpst to make internet work.

Uhh, Well I found an answer, but its not a solution yet.
Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696621
It explains why we can't use QPST...
Well it actually doesnt dierctly explain, but we have VIA Chpisets on our phones, instead of the common Qualcomm Chipset, who owns QPST.
But it also give some instructions about a program for VIA chipsets, ETS i think.
I was also reading in a Droid Charge thread (also VIA chipset) that there is a programm named VPST and VPCT or something like that, its like the "QPST" of the "VIA telecom" chipsets.
I'll try it tonight.
Is your gnex Sprint or Verizon?
Have you tested? Did you get it working? I tried but 'getprop' not showing my MSL code.

I've just made the MSL change to 000000, and switched the PRL to my carrier, but just that. I havent had time to work on anything else.
Is your nexus Verizon or Sprint?
If its Verizon your MSL is already 000000, if its Sprint you can get the MSL code with a script made by Viperboy

Dont know man, I dont have the Nexus anymore, but for the PRL updating theres an app that makes shortcuts, I cant remember the name right now, i think it something like bettercut or something like that.
You can also flash an ICS rom and update the PRL like you would normally do.
Hope i helped
Ok, I bought a galaxy nexus SCH i515 off ebay. The phone was listed as verizon, all the information behind the battery came up as sch i515. However when I powered it on. The phone said activate samsung account. The phone matches verizon info on the back. I contacted verizon and they said most likely the phone was rooted and that the phone could not be switched back even after a hard reset (which i did). I have wifi so used that to get on play store and downloaded rootchecker.... it says phone is not rooted.. (did original owner just unroot phone) am I screwed or is there anything I can do to get verizon able to activate it?
1) wrong section
2) follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
after step 2, check in the phone status menu for the model number.
So i'm a noob and after running through all this I can still (and verizon saying that the imei number wasn't in their database) make this work with verizon... i dont want to get this into a boot loop or fry this thing.. sorry for bugging out... I just want to know if this will officially work... again my phone was verizon and was switched to a sprint phone (upon powering up it asked for sprint activation.)

I appreciate your quick informative answer but if i've already called verizon and they have informed me that the imei is not in their data base.... if i do all these steps and flash back to complete stock the imei still will not be in there data base correct? I mean I'm still stuck on this.... if I need to start asking somewhere else please let me know. Thanks

fastboot and adb are 2 completely different modes, and the commands are not interchangeable. usb debugging has nothing to do with fastboot whatsoever

Just to make sure. You are in the bootloader on the phone and you are typing in the Fastboot devices and then OEM unlock command in Windows cmd? Try a different set of drivers. Uninstall the ones you have now and click the link below. Install those and do the "fastboot devices" command again. The naked divers seem to give people the least amount of problems.

as is strewn throughout these forums....ADB and FASTBOOT use different drivers. just because you have adb working doesnt mean that fastboot is setup properly

Hi guys i was trying out the chinese 4.2.2 on my G Pro and it messd up my EFS so now all i get is no service all the time.
Through extensive googling i found this guide and it helped me atleast get the imei to stop being unknown.
However when in the DFS CDMAtool it shows that the RF is in CDMA cellular and i am on a GSM CArrier is there a setting to change this so that my phone checks for both or only GSM.
Any help would be appreciated eg:-
EFS Files (Zeroed out) from F240L model preferrably as thats what i got
Assistnce on the usage of DFS CDMATool to rectify the above issue
Another method to fix EFS
THanks
UPDATE:
FIXED THE PROBLEM PHONE NOW HAS SIGNAL
Good work
care to write some tips/guidelines for anyone needing this in future
Brilliant work!
A guide will be very appreciated

How did you fix your phone???

Sorry for the late Reply.
This is what i did but remember mine is F240L.
Let me explain my problem.
I had LG G2 V5 on my phone then i saw that there's a chinese 4.2.2 which is where i lost my signal completely.
On researching i found my IMEI is unknown when a sim is in the phone but its there when no sim.
After restoring my IMEI with this method.
I downloaded stock TOT+DLL for my phone flashed it with LG FLASH TOOL.
I still got no signal then i realised that there was an update to my stock firmware to version F240L10Z.
I downloaded it as a KDZ and flashed it this time using the LG Mobile Support Tool in LG PC Suite.
After the phone restarted my signal came back to my relief.
Try it if something isn't clear tell me ill try to help.

At first i was overwhelmed but once you do it, its pretty simple.
The TOT for the E980 is even easier to find as its the more popular device on XDA but i have the links to them over here
Though its in chinese you will figure it out its simple.

I just reread your problem and realised that mine is different - my IMEI doesn't show at all, even without a SIM.
jhb019 said:

Follow this guide
It works for restoring the IMEI
Use the DFS CDMATOOL to get the info from the phone.
Write it down on a paper.
Then get Zeroed EFS files from the link don't worry Optimus G files work as that's what i used.
Replace the ones in the phone with those.
Reopen DFS CDMATOOL and copy back as muchof the info you wrote down as possible to the new EFS Files.
Reboot the phone to see if the info STUCK.
Obviously at this point the signal won't have reappeared.
Download the TOT +DLL for your phone flash it. If the signal is restored avoid the next step.
Then download a KDZ for your phone and flash it. (thinking about it skip the TOT part and jump to this.)
Your signal should be restored.
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I'm having the low battery error on the kdz flasher at the moment. No one has found a fix yet so I guess my only hope is getting the money for the phone back from my credit card company (a perk of living in the UK) as the seller is not interested.
Thanks for your time and replying to my posts quickly. If I don't get my money back and someone does find a fix for the low battery error, I will definitely be trying this out.
Thanks

The guide that you posted is showing only for sprint LG Optimus G and not for a LG Optimus G Pro. Do you think you can do a step-by-step guide for people like myself who has the missing IMEI number issue?

The Optimus G EFS is compatible with G Pro, i know because it worked for me. Remember i have a F240L.
Remember the file is Zeroed out so you will fill it with data from your current phone through DFS CDMA TOOL.
As for a guide i can't make it anymore clear, because that's how i did it. To restore my IMEI after getting my EFS corrupted.
But I'll try. Here is what i did.
Step 1: I connected my phone to DFS CDMA TOOL and wrote down all the information displayed on the page that shows IMEI and various other data (sorry for not being specific don't have the software installed on my computer anymore.)
Step 2: I rebooted in recovery and flashed the Zeroed out EFS from the guide based on the Optimus G here.
Step 3: I opened the DFS CDMA TOOL program and copied all the info i had previously wrote down on paper back to the phone in the order i had fond it.
Step 4: Here is where it gets tricky because I don't kno if you can skip this step and go to the next, but i'll throw it in anyway as this is how I did it.
I downloaded the TOT+DLL (F240LAT-V10K) for my phone from here I flashed it to my phone but the signal never got restored.
Step 5: I then downloaded the KDZ with a newer F240L10Z and flashed using LG FlashTools after rebooting my signal was back.
I don't know if you can flash the KDZ directly bypassing Step4 because this is not something i would want to repeat for the sake of simplifying the guide.
But give that a go it may work.
All i can say is good luck in trying.
I can assist where i can.
Remember if it does work to BACKUP YOUR EFS to avoid future issues.

which version of the CFS CDMATOOLS did you use? I downloaded the demo version of it, and when I connect my Optimus G Pro on to my computer, it doesn't show any information about my phone. Do you think I should buy the paid version of it?

I used this one Setup DFS 13.9.29.0.exe
To enable it to work change the USB MODE of the phone to LG SOFTWARE.
In DFS CDMATOOL make sure you choose the port USB ANDROIDNET SERIAL FOR DIAGNOSTICS PORT (not sure of spelling)
Then you should see your phone info show up on CDMATOOL.

I did every step as instructed on your instruction and on CDMA TOOL all I see is flashing red colors of BPSR ... NA ... BPSR ...NA ... so it leaves me to believe that my LG OPTIMUS G PRO is beyond being fixable. Perhaps best thing for me to do now is just send it in to AT&T and pay for them to fix it. Thanks for your help.

Mine too was red.
Just open the tab called PROGRAMMING and then GENERAL(which is the default) tab.
Click the READ button on each box.
The info you get write it down on a paper in the order you will remember.
Load up the ZEROED EFS on the Phone and copy the info you had on paper back the way it was before.
Then FLASH the phone as per the guide.
That should work.
E980 IMEI null
How did you get daig mode enabled on the phone? I don't get to see any connected ports in DFS when I select the USB connection in "charge only" mode.
thanks,
E980 PC can't see ports
I just can't connect my E980 with DFS. The diag port (COM4) doesn't show up unless I select "PC software" USB connection mode. With every other USB connection type, PC fails to see the phone ports (serial/diag/modem).
What am I doing wrong here? I factory reset the phone and just set only USB diag mode under developer settings. However ADB shell works fine with USB mode set to "charge only".
Thanks

yes you are doing it right. PC software is the correct mode to use.
I can't access files from usb or micro sd. Can't connect to my lap top. How am I supposed to put a ROM on my LG? The TWRP is loaded, but I have no rom on the internal SD, so there is nothing to recover. TWRP is like a virus, it wiped out my phone. I can access the terminal mode on the phone, but how do I use that to load a rom? All I can find is Greek to me, stand on one leg, look west, hack a key, toss some salt over your shoulder, blah, blah, blah. There must be a simpler solution. This isn't a recovery project, its a destruction project. I used a custom recovery a few years back with no trouble on my Samsung I897. Please, if u understand how TWRP works, help me out.

As far as I know, Twrp for optimus g pro can't read the external SD card. Have you download the lg device drivers and install them on your laptop? Sounds like you haven't done so, otherwise your computer should be able to read your device. Once you establish the connection, you be able to transfer the file or flash the oem firmware. Everything you need is on this forum, search the topic on flashing the stock rom, there you will find the device drivers. Understand your frustration, but half of your posting is you *****in' and that doesn't help.
I have LG drivers on my laptop

Before TWRP killed my phone, I was rooted and was able to connect my laptop to my phone no problem. I tried reloading LG drivers, but when I plug the phone in to USB, the Laptop tells me there is something wrong with the device, doesn't recognize it.
I have the LG drivers on my Laptop
Please tell me u have another idea:

As far as I know, Twrp for optimus g pro can't read the external SD card. Have you download the lg device drivers and install them on your laptop? Sounds like you haven't done so, otherwise your computer should be able to read your device. Once you establish the connection, you be able to transfer the file or flash the oem firmware. Everything you need is on this forum, search the topic on flashing the stock rom, there you will find the device drivers. Understand your frustration, but half of your posting is you *****in' and that doesn't help.

Have you try adb side load? If you have 2.3 or higher version of Twrp, you should have the side load function. Within adb you can push the file into which ever directory in your device. Other than the side load, you may have to flash the either cwm image file with lg flash tool or flash the stock rom and go from there.
ADB Sideload, yes I have it

Although I have the ADB Sideload, I'm not sure how to use it. I can access it on the phone, but isn't the idea to use it from your laptop to move files over to the internal SD. How do I get an ADB on my laptop that will talk to the adb sideload of the phone? I tried using the ADB console of my super one click, but it could not see my phone. Sorry to be such a nub about this, but every problem is a new one to me.

Ok, I was able to connect via adb sideload

I was able to connect via adb sideload last night, but lost the connection mysteriously. I was able to connect after loading a "universal driver" to windowa 8. Perhaps my cable is intermittent, I'll check more into it tonight.

TWRP didnt kill your phone your lack of reading did, just use lgflashtools to flash stock TOT image and start over. Be sure to read all the forums before attempting anything, everything you need or could need is here all ready on xda and has been done all ready for situations like yours.
I get that, I really do but...

I can use kdz files and flash tools no problem, but I can't get a rom for att in kdz. I can find a tot file that claims to be att usa that will work with LGNPST, but I can't get the DLL file (labled ...lgflash151...to register as a DLL on my laptop. I keep getting an entry point error. If the DLL won't register, lgnpst won't recognize it. I see some references to this, but I do not see where anyone has solved it. I would admit to not really understanding the difference between .tot and kdz, and why att us uses the tot and the rest of the world uses kdz. Kdz is so easy and tot is a pain. I seem to be chaising a ghost. At this point I can not even get a rom that comes up in English, and I can't read Korean. I have spent a month working on this every night, so help me if u will, tell me I can't read Korean, but please don't tell me I can't read English.

and by the way, you can't use lgflashtools to load a tot, or at least not the lgflashtools I have, only a kdz. But thank you so much for responding to me.

I Started out with one of those and I did get it to work in English. I can no longer find that file. I no longer see anything on that site that will come up in English, and I don't see panama e980h. I searched google for that, and I get "file not found". Even when I had that, I couldn't get the phone to see the sim card or work on my att network. I had the filen my laptop at one point, I must have deleted it.

You have to flash the base-band if you don't get signal KDZ''ing other phones KDZ, try the e980 Central America or the Mexico Telcel 980 one preferable the telcel since that's what he states will work. Also if a site isn't in English use Google translate or use Google Chrome browser it will translate web pages for you.

I now have bigger problems. I can only flash roms that are Korean in Language. Even though I pick English, when the flash is done I get Korean. I have tried numerous of the kdz roms, Mexican, arab etc. Some of them come up wanting a pin that I do not have. I feel like that guy fighting the whale.
By the way, thanks

By the way, Its not about the phone, its my backup...its about the right way to do this, and its about me understanding it. I like LG and just want be comfortable doing these things with my LG Phone. I have flashed custom roms with my S3 back a few years ago, but this is a new batch of challenges. I really appreciate all the help!

OK, if I gt a stock phone...
If I buy another Used LG Stock ATT Optimus Pro, can I back up its ROM and restore it to my bricked optimus? How would I do that?
I could use TWRP for that?

It would have been quicker if I could have read Korean. The Phone has a baseband, and recognizes my Sim, but is still not on AT&T. What is causing this...anyone???
Hi guys;
So i bought a second hand unlocked D851 ( TMOBILE) with kitkat (cloudy rom) wanted to upgrade it to lolipop but i hard bricked it then used board diag program to bring it back to life but i extracted a d850 rom TOT since the d851 didnt work so now my lg g3 is at&t and permenantly locked ,been trying for a week now to unlocked it for nothing then I read somewhere in this forum that its easy to unlock the d851 using the tmobile app. so is there any way to change it back to D851.
Anyone has any idea?!!
how u use the board diag cuz im stock in qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 and the threadt is closed now

1)What do you mean permanently locked...carrier/sim, mcafee security, something else? If it's carrier you can order a sim unlock code off of ebay for @$4.00 us, or use any other sim unlock services out there.
2)If you changed a d851 to a d850 using board diag and manually loading the partitions - then why not extract a d851 tot and do the same thing?

thank you for the reply.

2- thats what im looking for is there a way to manually load d851 partitions i mean when i loaded d850 partitions my phone was in dload mode ( hard bricked) do i have to hard unbrick now again?
by the way i can search for other carriers and i find mine under rat:GSM but i m unable to connect to it .

1) I don't know of a free way to get an unlock code, so if you can't order one you're probably stuck. Pay a friend who can order one for you?
2) If we're on the same page here and you previously used the board diag tool then that should work again. Hard brick usually shows up in your device manager as qualcomm 9008 instead of an lg device, so to get back to that condition you would have to open the phone up and short a pin -
follow the guide in the link I posted before and you should be good to go. I don't have links for any d851 tot files though...sorry, not my variant.

Unfortunately...I think so. If you were to try and use the lg flash tool and try and tot a d851 file into a d850 it'll probably throw some errors - model check, for ex - and won't flash. You can try and see for yourself if you'd like...here's a link for a couple tools; the 1st is kdz method, second is tot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
To brick it again follow guide I linked( https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359), short that 2nd jtag pin in the pic for @5 seconds, plug in the usb, and it should go to qualcomm 9008. You already know how to do the rest as far as loading partitions and such, and if you don't the guide will tell you what to do.
Good luck :good:

Re-read your previous post where you asked if you'll have to brick it again.
I said yes, and gave you a link on how to do it. Did you read the link? My guess would be no, since the 1st 4 steps tell you how to brick it and enter qualcomm9008 mode.
You're on your own now. Good luck. And you're welcome for the time I spent trying to help you.

It's cool. Yes the guide is for already bricked phones, but what I was trying to say is since you have a functional phone rt now you're gonna have to brick it, and by brick it I mean qualcomm9008 mode, and that's what the 1st part of the guide shows you how to do by shorting out the pin. Once you get to Qualcomm mode you can then use the board diag tool and load your partitions that you extracted from the tot and hopefully get back to your original d851 phone and get back up and running. Does that make more sense?
Again...good luck

I hard bricked it again and then extracted another D851 tot and then loaded all the necessary partitions but the phone still on qload mode i copied the sbl1.mbm of the D850 and tried them with D851 partitions the phone revived but not in download mode.
I managed tp recover all partitions and the phone is on dowloading mode but still detected as d850 so i have the dll cross error everytime i try to flash a rom even with using the custon dll file.
