Please Help! Need S3 to go into DIAG mode - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

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

*#0*# - LCD Test
*#0002*28346# - Audio control utility.
*#0011# - Power and Temprature settings
*#0228# - Battery Information
try these i used it on my grand and s4 worked!

[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] Opening PhoneUtil menu from CM10.1.3

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?

[Q] No phone message in qpst com port status

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?

Missing Diag Config Options

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to flash AWS onto my I747m and currently am stuck at QPST with 'no phone' error. People have encountered this problem using Galaxy Note 2 attempting AWS mod and fixed it by enabling "DM/DUN over HSIC" in Diag Config mode so I want to try to do the same.
My problem is:
1. *#9090# code doesnt not work for me to prompt Diag Config
2. I am able to enter Diag Config mode by doing *#197328640# > UMTS > Common > Diag Config and my options are:
[1]USB()
[2]UART(*)
[3]DBG MSG ON (*)
[4]DBG MSG OFF ()
I don't have the options for:
[1]DM/DUM over HS-USB[]
[2]DM/DUM over HSIC[]
[3]DM/DUN/RmNET over HSUSB[]
[4]DM over UART(*)
[5]DBG MSG ON(*)
[6]DBG MSG OFF(*)
Where can I find the option to toggle DM/DUN over HSIC?

VS985 Radio off.. Engineering mode or QPST tool?

My radio has turned off by itself (have no idea how) and I need to turn it back on. I am not able to enter the hidden phone info menu because it shows this (pic attached).
Does anyone know how to enter the engineering mode of VS985? I've tried all the codes provided online and none of them works.
Alternatively if this isn't possible does anyone know how to reset the radio with Qualcomm QPST? I mean the particular line item in RV NV manager.
help!! :crying:
