yah but that didint do anything because the nv item 85 is in the efs partition. I think the only way to fix it is to buy dfs or cdma workshop. Then it may be possable to scan for the msl\spc and input the displayed lock code to then copy the correct nv item back. It was late and i was messing with it its my wifes phone lol.... mine is fine. Im sure i can prob. fix it because we have access to the bootloader. I dunno im kind of a noob at this. Dang crap is picky and not like windows. If it were a windows like os it would already be fixed lol. And Thanks For the Reply.....

I take it you are trying to Flash to PrePaid ? If you want the MSL you can check out THIS thread. Also the thread HERE may be of some assistance.

well i can do getprop and it says [ril.MSL] : [ ]

For the method I linked to work you have to be on an LJ7 Rom.

i did all that already lol my problem is i made my nv 85 item (msl) null all ooooooooooo in hex when its supposed to be 30303030303030...or 000000 not in hex...so my spc and or msl is now null it might as well be deleted because without cdma workshop or dfs i cant access the locked sectors on the phone and when i do getprop ril.MSL in terminal emulator on the lj7 rom with the lg2 modem i get [ril.MSL]: [ ] which is just a space no numbers or anything. And as far as i know i need the msl to be able to copy over any nv items. But i cannot enter a space as password so i guess till i buy either cdma workshorp or dfs i cant fix it am i correct? Please Help Me Which is best solution???? And what is the best software to buy?

I'm going to say that CDMA Workshop is your best bet. As for where the best way to buy it. I would have to say Google is your friend.

CDMA???!!!

I've googled for hours for this. I am looking to get the MSL/'unlock code'/SPC for my CDMA blueangel. I have not found the answer anywhere. Does anyone have any pointers for me in unlocking an HTC CDMA phone?
Any help will be SO greatly appreciated.
You can use this app (you need to run the 2003 version of the .exe). It will take your ESN HEX as input (use capital letters) and will produce your MSL (not OTKSL). This app works for all HTC CDMA phones--Harrier (CDMA Blue Angel), Apache, and Titan).
It was created by a guy named isosdcftp over at ppcgeeks.com. Here is a link to the thread in case you're interested (primarily concerns the titan/mogul though):
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=5531
Also keep in mind some carriers use 000000 for the MSL. If neither that nor the code produced by GetSPC work, then perhaps the particular carrier who sold your phone used their own MSL algorithm (possible but unlikely).
doesnt work.. I'm with telecom new zealand if that's any help
Can you be more specific? Does the app run and produce an invalid MSL or can you not even get the app to run? If you want to PM me with your ESN HEX I will generate it on my end and PM it back to you to confirm.
I have a Sprint-branded Harrier (I'm in the US) and GetSPC spit out the correct MSL for me, but maybe TNZ programs in their own MSL instead of using the HTC default. In that case not much you can do unless you get the phone into DIAG mode and see if bitpim can read it.
Sorry man. It generates a MSL, but when I go into the pst (##778+talk) I enter it and it barks at me 'Your unlock code is not correct!'. I will pm you with my ESN.
And how would I put it into diag mode? I am fluent with bitpim and linux etc. but I can't figure out how to put it in diag mode.
If there's any more help from anyone it would be VERY greatly appreciated.

put the phone in diag mode ##DIAG send or ##3424 + send, then instal serial driver for the new hardware, you can google for the driver, then check the modem com port under modem in Device manager, and set the same com port for Bitpim using other CDMA phones, then check in NVM 000 or 001 and you should see the 6 digits SPC or once you know the virtual serial allocated to modem you may use other tools to check spc
Lets see how it goes,..
bR
doesn't work, when I go ##DIAG+talk it just calls the number.
please help to unlock my zte ev-do modern s/n 412823812444
am getting phone does not accept spc in cdma workshop thanks.

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!

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.

its cool.. I dont know the addresses for your radio, but I can help you find them heres some steps you can take to help you calculate the address:
After you open your scan results with winhex
-do a search for your meid in reverse, with no spaces. Make sure you check the "list search hits" box. It should list the locations of the results at the top.
-there's gonna be an offset number to the left of it, you can click on it and it changes, click it so it shows the an offset number that contains letters.
-Open up the windows calculator and make sure it's in "HEX" mode.. it usually starts up in "DEC" mode.
- If you did a searched, lets say "00FA-0000" for example, in cdma ws, your gonna want to take your offset number and add it to your original search location.. for example 00FA0000 with no dash.
-You'll come up with a result like this-
*example- 00FA0000+4EDC2C= 148DC2C which would be 0x0148DC2C
-Just add 0x0 or 0x00 (depending on the length of your result number) in front of it.
-Do this for all the other locations & there you go, you have your addresses
I hope that helps

did you click the binoculars with "hex" below them.. because you have to click the ones w/out "hex" below them.. meaning your not supposed to search for specifically hex values

I dont understand what I must be missing. I have the ESN fixed and as well only missing the MEID. When I scan I only find three locations. I have found others with web searching but still missing some. What REALLY stumps me is from what I can tell I have the exact same set up as the original poster but have NONE of the same ESN or MEID locations. Someone PLEASE point me to what I am missing This is what I have posted below:

keep getting "error 222: invalid argument" when trying to copy file 0 and 1943 from nvm directory from phone to desktop
I have another EVO I put on boost no problem... But the usb port broke and screen got smashed... I got another one with the new 2.3.3 gb which I just flashed swag on on it. I have bandbase 2.15.00.0808 with the esn zeroed. But having problems with the meid... I tried to downgrade bandbase to 2.15.00.15.11 and 2.15.00.09.01 but still having problems zeroing and can't downgrade any further to do qmat. I have done a scan and search for meid location but when I enter the location the meid appears to the right of the screen but not where I can edit the hex. I am about strung on this for the last 3 days so any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. I don't have internet at home so if someone could talk me through this over the phone would be great. I have cws 2.7 qpst and qxdm. Or if someone could give the locations other than listed above. Thank you and I am willing to donate once my EVO is on boost.

Kyocera DuraXT e4277 DIAG Mode??

Hi,
How do I get into the diag mode of this phone? I googled and googled until I could search no more!!
I tried ##diag# and some other codes but none is giving me the option.
I need to be able to connect the phone to the PC and see it in DFS, CDMA, QPST. None of these see the phone usb port now.
Please help. Thank you!
Sprint Kyocera DuraXT E4277
Well, I figured it out!
After all this headache of looking for the DIAG menu on the DuraXT.. It turns out that its not needed.. all I had to do is install the drivers on PC and connect USB cable.. Select Modem on phone and DFS was able to read it.
Now I am another problem.. I need the 16 digit device password and the only thing I see on google is that its all F's (FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) but that is not correct.
Does anyone know how to find the SPC/MSL for the DuraXT E4277? The memory is unreadable, completely locked from reading.

Unfortunately Kyocera phones do not use 16 digit passwords, only Samsungs do. If you're trying to repair the esn/imei or unlock it, don't even waste your time, there are no specialized tools available for those tasks, other than reading the user lock, nam, etc via DFS/CWS or other similar cdma tools. But you'll probably need the SPC/MSL which may be gotten from Sprint by pretending that you need the code to factory reset it through the ##786# menu. Kyocera phones have always had elusive security, including full memory lock. Just chalk it up as a "No Can Do"

Qpst lg v30 h932

Hey
I want to run QPST and my phone is detected in the COM in device manager (also at the top of device manager).
But when i add the port in QPST it detects 'No phone' but i can still add the port.
Making a backup etc in QPST doesn't work because of this.
Anyone with more knowledge who knows what i have to do?
I installed the universal LG drivers en did the commands (adb shell, su and setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb).
Thanks in advance!
The 3 images are screenshots of the windows.
Update
I got to the part were you can enter your IMEI but the phone couldn't write the IMEI.
THere was a long eroor message and this was part of it: 'reason other than nvm was full'
Hi, disconnect internet, turn off all security like firewall and virus checker and try again.
youtube video shows device like image attached.
Otherwise no idea

Hey guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but even for legitimate purposes, people really hate when you talk about repairing IMEIs here. It's questionably illegal even if you're "repairing" it. If you're cloning it, it's super federally illegal.
I'd word it in a way of "halp, somehow I zeroed my IMEI and I need to write back the exact same IMEI and definitely not some other IMEI on a phone I have because I bought a bad IMEI phone on eBay". Even then I think mods would raise a stink.
