Develop Bugs

Suggestion Needed

My problem is I can't access QPST, after I made a change to my ppp config...the weird part is, Odin works, and I can reset the phone in download mode. But when it comes back on, it keeps swithing into airplane mode...also, its giving an error message.TI have all the proper drivers installed...and the phone works...I just cant think of away to get back into my DIAG MODE so I can do programing. I have another post with more detailed info....I'm reposting here because I cant post in the development section yet.....

So...what error message is it giving you? What rom are you on? What change did you make to your ppp config? And are you using the proper modem for your build?

rom is the 2.1 stock..i didnt get a chance to change that yet...In ppp config, I changed my NAI Tethered..from boost to blank..then i changed the user ID to blank.... and I copied the HA AND AAA's from profile 0 & 1 to the epic from th Tp2....when I wrote to the phone it reboted.....as far as the modem I'm not sure but I think is odin..i downlaoded on it and tired to restore everything to stock but that doesnt work...

the message error says Sorry! The process com.android. phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

ummmm try a hard reset, or data restore... see if that resets the information that you changed, cuz the information you deleted and changed is the sprint programming so you might not have signal for data, atleast when i do my toroubleshooting i see the HA's and user name and stuff

I dont think the issue is with the ppp config..Its the NV items I wrote to the phone in cdma workshop...when the phone reset, and came back on it stopped reading the port. the phone can connect in pda but you can not acess cdma or qpst from there..I cant change back the NV items

One V CDMA - Problem in enabling data connection

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.

That's fine. Its only for one particular NVITEM. Just ignore it.

Hello varkey bhai,
Please Help me with the problem.
1. my meid is registered with reliance.
2. my prl is 00005
3. i am using the handset since 10 months.
4. evdo is also activated on my number.
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.

[Q] What is "Service Programming Code" in QPST?

I'm trying to use QPST to backup the PRL from my phone before writing new PRLs, because my current, working PRL, 54013, is not in the "Every Sprint PRL" thread.
I have qpst installed and I have the phone connected and seems to be recognized in qpst.
I'll go over what steps I took so far. Some of this I just guessed at since I didn't find any docs that said what to do.
On the phone I did ##DIAG# and got a PhoneUtil menu:
UART:
( ) CDMA MODEM
( ) PDA
I chose CDMA MODEM
Then there is a button [ Qualcomm USB Setting ] at the bottom.
Which brings up IOTHiddenMenu:
( ) MTP
( ) MTP + ADB
( ) PTP
( ) PTP + ADB
( ) RMNET + + DM + MODEM
( ) DM + MODEM + ADB
Either of the two choices that include MODEM will cause the PC to recognize a samsung diag com port driver, COM17 in my case.
Then in QPST I can add port COM17 and pull up the service programming screen, and it shows:
SURF9615, online, from phone
ESN ####### Build ######### MEID #########
One) I don't know where to go in qpst to copy the prl from the phone. The docs that came with qpst suggest it's the Roam tab, Preferred Roaming Enable, File:[___]
Two) From the service programming screen, when I press the [Read from Phone] button, it prompts "Enter service programming code". I tried entering my MSL in there but that doesn't work. It just says "Roaming list receive failed". I don't know what "Service Programming Code" is. Is it MSL or something else?
I'm on a rooted and manually de-bloated ma7 rom with mc2 modem/radio/firmware. If this process requires any system apks to work, it's possible I've deleted something that broke it.
I don't expect anyone to be able to tell me what every single required system apk is, or to figure out why this isn't working, just to look over what I did and tell me if I'm even trying the right things.
Thanks
[UPDATE] seems maybe Service Programming Code is MSL after all.
When I disconnect/reconnect the phone and try again, and leave the default 000000 in the field, it returns with a different and clearer prompt that says you entered an invalid service programming code and the phone will not accept any write commands for the next 10 seconds, try again.
When I enter my MSL, I do not get THAT error message. So whatever is wrong, it doesn't seem to be the Service Programming Code.[/UPDATE]

you'll need to flash an older modem ....LJC modem. that should allow you to use your msl to enter service programming.....once in click Read From Phone.....then enter msl.....let it read then click Save To File.....that will save 2 files the file named "your ESN #_sp.rl0" will be the prl backup.
once your done you can flash back to your current modem......remember to backup prior to flashing anything.

[Q] Anyone have 0/12 IMEI number but network semi work and EFS missing NV_data.bin

I installed the jedi mind trick JB6 rom a week ago and everything worked great up until a few days ago. Now my phone when connected to wifi can't access the play store, gmail and other apps. I can receive/make calls through wifi calling and texts just not internet data. As soon as i turn wifi off everything works normal. So I checked my Imei and it showing up as 0 / 12 . Anyone else experience this and is there a fix for it. I already tried restoring my EFS folder but the two needed files are not there and I never made a backup.

I have this phenomenon on my SGS2, and have had it such since January after flashing an Embryo ROM. I'm not sure how it happened, I used to think Embryo borked it but no other users reported anything similarly happening to them.
However, I have no issues with data or anything else problematic occurring as a result of the IMEI being 0'd. Everything works fine. I use Straight Talk, so I think IMEI blacklisting doesn't apply to me, but it may be a factor in your case, as ATT/T-Mobile are more stringent now about EFS tampering etc. because they now blacklist handsets.
QPST or somesuch, a Squidbox, or Riffboxing type of repairs may remedy the problem. Try using a different SIM for another network and verify it's not a carrier specific issue. Also, try going back to stock and doing an EFS restore via the Service Menu from stock Dialer. (*#*#197328640#*#*)
Also, to save any trouble; Odin will not help you, as the EFS partition is handled seperately unless you check the box to clear EFS...which will also not help you.

1. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
2. Go to Menu->Settings->Applications->Development.
3. Turn on "USB Debugging" option.
4. When message is appear press "Yes".
5. Go to dial window.
6. Enter "*#7284#" number.
7. Set "USB" radio button to "Modem" value.
8. Close window.
9. Go to dial window.
10. Enter "*#9090#" number.
11. Set "Diag config" to "USB" value.
12. Restart phone.
13. Then download EFS Professinal from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
14. Extract and open efs professional and click on Qualcomm NV Tools
15. You must see your device in "Available COM Ports"
16. Now click on "connect", it will show "SPC was accepted by the phone".
17. Now just see the "IMEI Repair"column, it will show blank or '0'.
18. Now type your IMEI number infront of "IMEI" and click "Write IMEI".
19. Thats it.
Incase you dont know the IMEI of your device, just check the mobile box or it is written in a label inside the mobile below the battery. Hope this helps...

Thanks guys, the imei showing up as 0 wasnt the problem everything works now. it turned out to be the proxy settings i setup for ad blocker was blocking data when connected to wifi.

I am having a similar problem. When I try the above *#7284# or *#9090# codes I can't get into the menu's to change the settings. I get a error that says,"mobile network not available". My IMEI number is bad and I can't get on the network at all. Is there a way to make this work?

Just take a backup, hard reset your phone and again follow the steps. If it doesn't work, just try to update or change the ROM and try again. Hope this helps.

When i was on a custom rom the debug menu wouldn't show up , make sure you go back to stock rom.

[Q] Galaxy nexus efs lost

Hi,
I had an OTA update from 4.2.2 to 4.3 and some days after that, when I was using google maps while on roaming network, my phone stopped getting signal from carrier. Since then, I have followed many posts on xda and did these things using NRT (Nexus Root Toolkit):-
1. Unlock
2. Flash + Unroot
But, after doing all these, my phone still does not get the signal. The current problem (I'm not a very technical person):-
1. About Phone --> Status (copying only those properties which might be relevant):-
Network: Unknown
Signal strenght: 0 dBm 99asu
Mobile network type: UNKNOWN:0
Service state: Out of service or Radio Off (this keeps on toggling every few seconds)
IMEI: UNKNOWN
IMEI SV: UNKNOWN
Serial Number: <some number>
2. Phone info available in *#*#4636#*#*:-
Set preferred network type: Unknown
Turn On Radio or Turn Off Radio (This keeps toggling every few seconds)
Actually, after reading so many posts on xda, I can conclude that the efs partition is lost. If I'm goig in the right direction to pin point the problem, please let me know where I can download EFS and change it to point it to my Phone's IMEI.
Will the above step solve this problem ?
Any help is much appreciated.

PS: I dont have a generic IMEI now. My IMEI as seen from *#06# is empty. *#06# shows IMEI (but no IMEI number next to it) and then an OK button.
