PC can't recognize Epic as mass storage after prl update (attempt)

So, I tried to do the manual PRL update in this thread , but even after uninstalling QTSP my phone only charges.
I can enable mass storage on the phone, but it doesn't register in Windows. I've tried going into disk management too, but there's no drive to assign a letter to.
I'm running Win 7 x64.
Any help is appreciated.
PS I have the Samsung Modem and Ports showing up in device manager. I don't know if this is normal.

Try:
1.Changing USB cable/port
2.Rebooting the computer/phone
3. Reinstalling the Samsung USB drivers.

I actually did all those things Xobx. I should've mentioned that!

Did you set it back to PDA from modem once the flash was done?

I never actually DID the flash. That's the weird thing. I installed the software, got the files, and decided it wasn't worth the trouble. No idea what to do now......

EDIT: Did you ever flip USB back to PDA in the hidden menu? If not, do that first, because it's your problem!
Does USB work in Download Mode?
If not, you're probably facing the same USB bug I encountered when trying an update. Samsung's got some poorly-written software in their USB stack. I posted a possible solution here, but if that doesn't work, you're pretty screwed. If you're non-stock, flash back to all stock (recovery, kernel, ROM) and go exchange your defective device.

Okay, I hate to plead ignorance, but what "hidden menu" are we talking about?
I'm running Midnight Rom 5.2 journaling off, btw.
thanks!

In the manual prl update thread it gives you a code to enter into the dialer to change it to modem mode for connecting to qpst. Verify both settings say PDA.
EDIT: The code is ##8778# in dialer. It should ask for MSL unless you changed it to 000000 in qpst like I did
If you don't have your msl, download terminal emulator from market and type this at the dollar sign prompt: "getprop ril.MSL"
Without the quotes, case-sensitive.
That six digit code is your MSL. Let me know what the settings show.

Flash Evo 4G back to Sprint from Metro PCS

I am completely new to Android and all of this flashing stuff. This is my first tutorial hope it helps some out there. I really couldn't find one tutorial that helped me completely so I put stuff I used from many into one.
MAKE SURE YOUR ESN IS CLEAN AND NOT A STOLEN PHONE. IN MY CASE IT WAS A CLEAN ONE.
What you need:
1. QPST 2.7 Build 323 (Look it up yourself and download it)
2. ADB and DIAG drivers here
3. The 60650.prl from this site http://www.corolada.com/prl/
Here are the steps.
1. Make sure that your Evo's drivers are all installed. By that I mean the ADB and HTC DIAG drivers.
2. Dial ##3424# which will put your phone in Diag mode, and enable usb debugging.
3. You can follow this to install the DIAG and ADB drivers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697487&highlight=cdma+workshop
4. Once done installing the DIAG driver make sure you're still on device manager.
Make sure you see this below:
Now right click on HTC USB Modem and click properties, and something like this will come up:
take note of the port # on the top, in my case COM4
5. Now open CDMA workshop in Administrator mode. Right click Run as Admin. This will come up:
6. Click on connect on the bottom right, on the bottom left it should say "Connected to (your COM name) port successfully" in my case COM4
7. Click on other and make sure it says NAM1 for the first flash. Click write and browse for the 60650.prl and select it press open. Something like the second image should pop out, just press ok the prl has been flashed.
8. Now where it previously said NAM1 press the arrow down and click NAM2. Click write and browse again for 60650.prl do the same as step 7.
9. You are done. Close CDMA workshop. Reboot your EVO.
10. Go to update your PRL
11. Punch ##3282# hit edit type your MSL pass, go to Data Profile, hit menu and hit RESET.
12. Reboot once more and youre good to reactivate your EVO.

REMEMBER FLASHING IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND I AM NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE (IM NOT SAYING THAT ANYTHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN). I JUST SAY THIS TO PROTECT MYSELF. THIS WORKED FOR ME, I HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU.
My proof:
Today in my room at 11AM with Metro PCS prl (Look at the bars XD)
Today at 7PM in my room with Sprint prl (Look at the bars)

But people need to be reminded, if You bought a *STOLEN* Sprint evo (one that has been reported) it won't work on Sprint.
So make sure you check the ESN with Sprint before hand.

Yes ill edit that into the post thanks bro.

i posted this in the wrong section is there a way this can be deleted or reposted in the development section?

hey, do you think this will work for the evo shift?
EDIT:
I followed your instructions which are pretty simple to the letter, after rebooting, im still stuck with metro prl. I tried updating it with using wifi, but no luck.
EDIT2: Whats weird i that the "sprint zone" msg comes up, so some kind of progress was made..... to be continued upon further discoveries!!
Edit3: Ok, it finally took after resetting the phone a few times, and it does show the new prl. But now, it takes forever to update the prl. The only other prob is I cannot find my msl code, neither thru msl reader or cdma workshop, they both tell me its 6 zero's. Boy oh boy!!!

Hello pediz123
I have couple questions on your tutorial.
1. Is it possible if I use DEMO-CDMA Workshop with your tutorial? I went to the link they gave me the demo version.
2. In your tutorial, I dont see when you run "QPST 2.7 Build 323". What is it for?
Thanks

HOW TO: Update PRL In JB AOSP

Tested and works on
JB 4.1.2
JB 4.2.1
Failed on
ICS 4.04
Before I begin credits to autoprime! source http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626638
This is not a full blown walk though… so, not all of this may make much sense to everybody but for those who do understand the way this program works. It’s a very easy process!
I’m sure this has been buried in this forum.
Here’s my little guide to get update your PRL using QPST on CM10 4.1.2 on the E4GT!
Alright so it’s pretty straight forward do the basic stuff, download your E4GT drivers
(even though is probably unneeded if you have Windows Vista or 7)
Unplug your phone from your PC
Open your terminal emulator on your phone
Type in su hit enter
then copy and paste in below and hit enter.
echo 0 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
echo disable_wimax > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-gpio.17/i2c-17/17-0008/port
echo enable_cp > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-gpio.17/i2c-17/17-0008/port
echo disable_ap > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-gpio.17/i2c-17/17-0008/port
echo CP > /sys/class/sec/switch/set_usb_path
echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
Reconnect your USB to your PC.
Open device manager you’ll see SAMSUNG CDMA Technologies (if it has not automatically installed already)
If your PC does not find the driver automatically, you're going to need to install the drivers, just Google Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe and install the package.
let the drivers install.
Now open QPST configuration, click on the ports tab, then add new port
**UNCHECK show serial and usb QC diag ports only***
Then you will see a few com ports in the lets one by one - add them all
Once you’ve added them all open Service Programming and your phone should detect!
Once you're in click on roam tab / then click read from phone BOOM enter your MSL
Now you can upload what ever prl you want!
After uploading the PRL to the phone, it will not automatically reboot like on TW Roms, so reboot after flashing, then your USB ports will turn back to "normal"
Enjoy!

echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
After doing that you should hear your usb power on and off. After that manually unplug your USB and plug it back in. Open device manager you’ll see new devices found
let the drivers install.
Now open QPST configuration, click on the ports tab, then add new port
**UNCHECK show serial and usb QC diag ports only***

I did enable them and I tried to go in but it wouldn't let me change anything. As you can see on the second screenshot, the "Work Offline" option was selected. Whereas when I got it to work successfully, the "Work online or offline" option was selected, and my phone was in the table in the latter option.
/EDIT
I think it's safe to assume that something went wrong when I pasted those commands into the terminal. Perhaps you must paste one at a time and press enter? I just pasted them all and pressed enter... I dunno, I was too lazy to try.
Whatever the case may have been, after a bit of searching around I found that I could access the menu on the dialer by using *#*#8778#*#* but only if I left it on the PhoneUtil screen while plugging it in and while using QPST (after selecting modem for both USB and UART.)
But regardless, thanks for the guide!

I had to use the terminal method here. The dialer code worked but putting it in modem didn't do anything. Maybe bad USB cable?

all i have to say is you are a genius!!!, was struggling with updating my prl for past few days!!. Now the only questions remains is how to stop sprint from re updating my prl!!!! every time i change it, it resets in a day or two to stock and i end up with no signal.

I would love to update my PRL since I've been using CM10, but I need someone to walk me through this like I'm a 5 year old. I know how to follow step-by-step instructions, I just don't have all the pieces to the puzzle (i.e. where to get QPST and a PRL). I think that simplifying this for your everyday-Joe customizer would be a great asset. I REALLY don't want to flash to stock just to update my Profile and PRL, then flash everything back.

[GUIDE]Save 3g settings from other carriers

I've seen so much people complaining about flashing their cellphones to another carrier but the phone isnt saving 3g info to the efs. Well, it seems like something blocked by Sprint. To get it working do this:
-Connect your phone in dial mode to your windows pc(doesnt work on other OS).
-Download this file
-Download this FREE version CDMA Workshop
-Open CDMA Workshop, on the right top side, check the box next to the textbox and introduce your spc and click connect and read.
-Navigate to memory tab and in "NV-items" click write and select the 1st file you just downloaded.
-Finally close CDMA Workshop and it'll ask you to reboot the phone, click yes and then proceed to flash your phone.
I used Qualcomm QPST to configure data in my country. I guess DFS also work but I havent tested it yet.
Links are not mine but tested it.

[GUIDE] Restoring IMEI and EFS after erasing or corrupting (No backup needed)

OOPS!
You were following guides on XDA, and throwing random commands in ADB from the posts under the guides (DON'T DO THIS!) and now your slick new ROG phone 2 doesn't have mobile data, calls, wifi, or bluetooth. You quickly find out that flashing the phone with any firmware old or new, doesn't help you, as this issue is directly linked to your chip in your phone.
I quickly found that I needed a QCN file from someone with a rog 2 phone, however I could not get any help here on XDA except from the user Greatuser123, who did not want to give out his QCN file (understandably), but did send me some notes to try and help with other tools.
With nothing working, and no QCN file, I ordered another ROG 2 and waited for it in the mail. After it got here, I quickly extracted the QCN file, replaced the IMEI's in it, and used QPST to restore my phone.
I am simply writing this guide with the generic QCN file with my info masked out of it, so no one has to go through what I went through.
Common issue
This most commonly happens with ROG 2 Phones from the commands:
DO NOT RUN THESE COMMANDS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
(spaced command to ensure no one runs this!)
fastboot erase modem st 1
fastboot erase modem st 2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On most phones, on a reboot, these partitions would be restored on reboot, but not on most ROG's.
Prerequisites
Rooted Phone
QPST
Qualcomm USB drivers
IMEI Converter
Platform Tools
The Fix
Follow the above root linked video, or find the root thread for your phone here on XDA, and root your phone. This will not work unless you are rooted, although I do not know how you would get into this mess without having your phone rooted already.
Install QPST tools
Install Qualcomm USB drivers
Download the attached zip "good_qcn.zip" and extract the .QCN file anywhere on your machine
Open the .QCN file with any Hex Editor (I used HxD) and search for the Hex-Values: 08 3A 85 99 99 99 99 99 99
NOTE: There will be TWO locations with this value. This is where your IMEI_1 and IMEI_2 will go. Your IMEI_2 goes into the FIRST occurrence, while your IMEI_1 goes in the second.
Download the IMEI Converter app and type in your IMEI_1 and click "Convert", place the converted hex output into a notepad or similar
Do the same for your IMEI_2 and place it in the same location
Now that you have the HEX version of both your IMEI's, paste your IMEI_2 in the FIRST occurrence of the fake IMEI in the QCN file
Paste your IMEI_1 in the last occurrence of the fake IMEI and now save your new .QCN file.
Ensure your device is in USB Debugging Mode.
Download and extract the Platform Tools if you do not have them already.
Plug your phone into your computer using either port
Navigate to your extracted Platform Tools and in a Command Line type "adb devices" to ensure your device is visible.
Run a shell with "adb shell" and elevate your permission with "su"
Now it is time to enable Diag mode by running "setprop sys.usb.config rndis,diag,adb"
At this time, if you installed the Qualcomm Drivers, your device manager should have a port similar to "Qualcomm HS-USB Diag". If not keeping trying to re-enter diag mode and ensure the drivers are correct.
Open up "QPST Configuration" which was installed earlier. You should see your phone listed under "Active Phones". Click "Start Clients" -> "Software Download"
The Port field of the QPST Software Download should list your phone, if not something is wrong.
Click "Restore", and in the xQCN field, click "Browse", change the file type from XQCN to QCN, and select your newly made QCN file
Click "Start", and once the process is done, restart your phone
Conclusion
If all went well, your phone should now have all its bells and whistles again. Sometimes it may require a Factory Reset, and this should always be the practice anyways. If you have mobile data, but only H+ or EDGE, dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone and ensure LTE is provisioned.
Good luck guys!

Do you have the global or the cn version?

This QCN came from a global device, but I imagine this could be used to recover the mobile at least temporary to fully fix the device, no matter the origins.

Now that you have the HEX version of both your IMEI's, paste your IMEI_2 in the FIRST occurrence of the fake IMEI in the QCN file
Paste your IMEI_1 in the last occurrence of the fake IMEI and now save your new .QCN file.
Ensure your device is in USB Debugging Mode.
Download and extract the Platform Tools if you do not have them already.
Plug your phone into your computer using either port
Navigate to your extracted Platform Tools and in a Command Line type "adb devices" to ensure your device is visible.
Run a shell with "adb shell" and elevate your permission with "su"
Now it is time to enable Diag mode by running "setprop sys.usb.config rndis,diag,adb"
At this time, if you installed the Qualcomm Drivers, your device manager should have a port similar to "Qualcomm HS-USB Diag". If not keeping trying to re-enter diag mode and ensure the drivers are correct.
Open up "QPST Configuration" which was installed earlier. You should see your phone listed under "Active Phones". Click "Start Clients" -> "Software Download"
The Port field of the QPST Software Download should list your phone, if not something is wrong.
Click "Restore", and in the xQCN field, click "Browse", change the file type from XQCN to QCN, and select your newly made QCN file
Click "Start", and once the process is done, restart your phone
Conclusion
If all went well, your phone should now have all its bells and whistles again. Sometimes it may require a Factory Reset, and this should always be the practice anyways. If you have mobile data, but only H+ or EDGE, dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone and ensure LTE is provisioned.
Good luck guys!
