My phone erased the IMEI number again and I have the instructions on how to restore it. However, I'm running CM10.1.3 and I can't open the PhoneUtil menu by entering *#7284# in the dialer. I know that my ROM doesn't support this code out of the box but is there a way of accessing the Qualcomm USB settings without having to flash back to stock?

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.
Hi guys,
To enable AWS on SGH I317M Note 2 I have to use QPST software. I can't use it because QPST doesn't find phone even though in device manager it is listed as Samsung Mobile Serial Port (Com14) and has no problem. When I click "Ad Port" in QPST environment I see it as COM14-USB/QC Data Modem with "No Phone message. I tried different versions of QPST on different computers with the same result. I guess , problem is in the PhoneUtil settings (*#7284#} and ServiceMode (*#9090#} I changed to unlock the phone with Z3X box. Now it is unlocked and works properly.
To enable AWS I put the phone in debug mode, in PhoneUtil settings #*7284# I put both PDA, Qualcomm settings are set to RNDIS+DM+Modem. What else do I have to do to see my phone in QPST software? What did I do wrong that the software doesn't connect with the phone? Do I have to flash it or just change some settings in the hidden menu? How to do that?
Did anybody have this problem / How did you solve it?
Thanks
I am having this problem as well. Any one have the answer?

My friend tried to flash the custom rom I am using on his s3 last night. Some reason it corrupted his efs folder and his imei became null/null. We flashed him back to stock rom with ODIN and IMEI change to the generic 040999....we were up all night searching for a fix and have tried everything from modem files to azira patch.
there is one solution that will fix it by repairing the nv file using NV-items reader writer. The problem is the phone needs to be in DIAG mode (DM Mode) for it to read the phone. Until now I have not found a way to get it. ##3424# does nothing. *#7284# only gives me QUAL (modem pda) and USB (Modem pda) there is no qualcomm settings where I am meant to enable diag mode. I have tried the scripts that apparently enable diag mode but to no avail. I did find a code *#9090# which brings up DAIG menu but when i select LOG VIA USB it says "LOG PATH SET FAIL"
So is there anyway I can get this i9300 into DIAG (or dm mode) any help will be much appreciated

How to fix "ERROR 16 - Switch ???" on gs3 flashed to boost mobile.
This is what I did. Hope it works for you
Might work in other cases.
Take battery out of flashed phone.
Connect Donor Phone
test donor phone and see if you can connect (make a test call, try to get onlne)
if not <contact boost mobile>
if it does, then connect it to pc and get PRL form it.
Load QPST, under Start Clients menu, select Service Programming.
Click Read from Phone and enter MSL (000000).
Then Save to file. This will save a .qcn and .rl0 file.
In QPST, under Start Clients menu, select RL Editor.
In RL Editor, load your .rl0 file. Go to File, Save As..., make sure type is *.prl and enter a file name. Save file.
Turn off Donor and remove battery
Connect Flashed Phone
What You Will Need
The DFS CDMA Tool
Your MSL number (Sprint) or SPC number (Verizon, this is usually "oooooo").
Obtaining your MSL/SPC number is as easy as calling up your carrier and asking for it. They will freely give it to you. Other options include using the MSL Finder app. If that does not work, you are probably on Jelly Bean, so you will need to make a quick call to your carrier.
Step 1: Enable Use of DFS CDMA Tool
The use of this tool requires a non-standard USB connection (i.e. Download Mode, or just DM).
Open the Dialer and type in ##DIAG# (##3424#).
Click on "Qualcomm USB Settings" and select "DM + Modem + ADB" then press "OK".
Plug your device into your PC and go to Device Manager.
Locate "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port" and remember the COM number (in this case, COM5).
Step 2: Load Device into DFS CDMA Tool
Open DFS CDMA Tool. If you are using the Demo version, there will be a small countdown and the app will launch.
In the upper left-hand corner, hit the "Ports" button and select the port you found in Device Manger.
Double-click the port, and double-click it on the bottom to load your device into the software.
Enter your MSL/SPC number where it says "SPC" and hit the blue arrow. You should see the log show "Device Unlocked".
Step 3: Write New PRL
Hit the programming tab, then the NAM sub tab.
On the right-side, load the PRL that you want, then hit "Write".
Disconnect your device, go back to Step 1 and put your device back to "MTP + ADB". Back out of the menu and reboot your device.
Confirming PRL Change
Go to Settings -> About Device -> Status. Scroll down to "PRL" and confirm that it has been changed.
Take battery out of flashed phone. Again
go to "boostmobile" and login/create your account.
goto update handset
enter info for another boost phone (not donor, not flashed phone)
turn on 2nd boost mobile phone
go through the steps and test it for connection (calls, internet)
turn off and take out battery.
goto update handset again
enter info for Donor Phone (not 2nd Boost phone, or Flashed Phone)
turn on Flashed phone
go through steps, reboot

Does anyone know the hidden menu code for the Spring G5? I can't find it anywhere...
If you're talking about the developer menu it's; settings, general, about phone, software info then tap build number until it says dev menu is activated.

Not much in it but 5689#*992#
All these work on my ls992....
##72786## Erases Any Info That Has Been OTA Provisioned (Forces A Reboot And Reactivation)
##3282# data menu
##786# rtn menu
##3424# diag menu
##33284# debug
##564# error log
5689#*992# hiddenmenu
##27263# De-Brand
Does De-brand factory reset the device? What does it remove exactly?
what is the service code?

IF you ever tinker around with switching between lab network and production network for the sim unlock with hidden menu, you might find LG G5 losing the tethering menu. If that happens, to restore it, you need to do ##27263# de-brand which will makes it restore the menu item.
